Heavenly Star Ranking Expert

While they were arguing here, the battle in the distant sky was nearing its end.

After the aircraft formation was overwhelmed by Lin Zhen and Little Warm, suffering heavy losses, Allen realized that this couldn't continue.

The remaining thousand-plus aircraft then broke up and began to escape in all directions.

This gave the large flock of Mutated Bird another opportunity, and they began hunting down these flying machines everywhere.

In the end, fewer than three hundred aircraft were able to successfully break through and escape the Ice City area; the rest were completely wiped out.

Later on, Lin Zhen and Little Warm stopped focusing on the ordinary aircraft and instead kept a close eye on the Black Phantom where Allen was located.

Little Warm, leading a large flock of birds, began to surround and intercept Allen's aircraft.

While the Black Phantom was indeed fast, it couldn't keep up with the Mutated Bird everywhere. Allen tried to break through several times, but was intercepted by the Mutated Bird ' suicidal attacks.

"Boom!"

Two enormous vultures crashed into it in quick succession, slowing down the Black Phantom that had just gained a little speed.

The control panel inside the aircraft was filled with static, and alarms were blaring incessantly; the Black Phantom was about to crash.

Allen slammed his fist on the control panel: "What the hell? Have these Mutated Bird gone mad?"

Seeing that the aircraft was about to break down, Allen simply opened the hatch and rushed out.

As a Star Ranking expert, Allen was confident that he could escape from the siege of the Mutated Beast, although it wouldn't be easy.

As soon as he rushed out of the hatch, he saw a large flock of Mutated Bird flying over from behind.

In the middle of the flock of Mutated Bird Group, the huge Golden Eagle made his eyelids twitch, and a bad premonition welled up inside him.

The bird's flight pattern seems a bit strange.

Lin Zhen no longer needed to conceal anything. There were no more Divine Cult aircraft in the surrounding sky, so no one could see what was happening here.

Lin Zhen stood up, tore off the disguise on her face, and looked at Allen in front of her.

When Allen saw Lin Zhen's face, he gasped in shock. "Lin Zhen!"

"Allen Great God Sect Master, we have quite a history, but we only have the chance to meet face to face today. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"You actually associate with Mutated Beast! Lin Zhen, how dare you!" Allen glanced at the Mutated Bird circling around but none dared to approach Lin Zhen, and immediately slapped a huge accusation on him.

Lin Zhen couldn't help but laugh, "Allen, you really can't see the situation clearly. You still have the mind to frame me now. I'm even planning to overthrow your Divine Cult. What difference does it make if you frame me with more crimes?"

"No, that's different. Associating with Mutated Beast is a crime against humanity." Allen shook his head.

"Oh, so it's such a serious crime. It seems I absolutely cannot let you leak this information." Lin Zhen picked up the Blazing Light Spear.

"You think you can keep me here?" Allen's expression remained unchanged.

How will you know if you don't try?

Before Lin Zhen could finish speaking, he Teleport teleported behind Allen and stabbed him in the back with his Long Spear!

Allen's weapon is a sword, which he wields to Long Sword.

"Clang!"

The Long Sword flew out, completely failing to block Lin Zhen's backstab, and was pierced through the waist and abdomen by the spear!

"This is impossible!"

Allen stared in disbelief at the Long Spear protruding from his abdomen, unable to believe that he couldn't even block Lin Zhen's attack.

"Nothing is impossible, die!"

The Star Power within Lin Zhen's Dark Star erupted, instantly turning Allen's body into dust.

Allen only learned when he died that Lin Zhen was actually a Stellar Realm expert.

However, Lin Zhen's Star Realm is different from others. He is in the Dark Star Realm. Everyone else cultivates Dantian Qi, but he has not yet reached the Star Realm. Therefore, in appearance, he is still only a Quasi-Star Realm.

Lin Zhen shot and killed Allen, causing his position on the Meteor Ranking to skyrocket.

Allen was ranked ninth on the Meteor Ranking, but was immediately replaced by Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen casually took Allen's Space Ring, then looked around at the sky. The army of the Divine Cult had completely collapsed, and very few people had escaped; they were no longer of any importance.

Looking down, Lin Zhen could even pinpoint the location of One Against Ten Thousand, situated in the western part of Ice City, an area with a high density of advanced Mutated Beast.

However, Lin Zhen did not want to deal with One Against Ten Thousand for the time being. He wanted to see the current situation in Ice City first, so he simply left Little Warm Lin Zhen here and went to Ice City alone.

********

High above the Cloud Layer, there is a cold air current, and as the air current rises higher, the air becomes increasingly thin.

Continuing upwards, until we emerged from the atmosphere, we were no longer in the sky, but in the deep, dark expanse of space.

The debris of a satellite launched Anno Domini Era floats silently in space. This object is no longer pulled into the atmosphere by Earth's Gravity, but instead follows its orbit along with Earth's rotation, drifting here eternally.

On the surface of the satellite, there is a pattern of the Five-Star Red Flag. It seems that it was called Tiangong-3 a thousand years ago, but it has been abandoned now. At this moment, two people are sitting cross-legged on the satellite.

Both of them wore something like glasses over one eye, and those glasses could be adjusted to see the situation in Ice City.

One was an elderly man, and the other was a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was wearing a long robe, while the old man was wearing a simple Tang suit.

Through their glasses, the scene of Lin Zhen killing Allen was clearly presented, including the siege of the city by the Mutated Beast.

The middle-aged man asked the old man, "Mister An Bihuai, what do you think of this Lin Zhen?"

The old man did not answer immediately. Instead, he took a sip of wine from a small metal wine jug, then slowly screwed it back on. After a long while, he said, "The younger generation is truly formidable."

"Hehe, you wouldn't be saying this just because you think Lin Zhen your great-grandson-in-law and are deliberately showing him favoritism, would you?" the middle-aged man teased with a laugh.

"Chen Fenglie, do you think I, An Bihuai, am the kind of person who lies through my teeth? This kid is indeed quite good. I feel very reassured that An Ning is with him."

"So you can rest easy now and don't have to worry about whether or not to intervene to rescue Ice City."

"That's right. The martial artists on the Heavenly Star Ranking check and balance each other and do not concern themselves with worldly affairs. Of the eighteen people on the Heavenly Star Ranking, Huaxia occupies four seats, more than any other country. If we rashly intervene, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the Heavenly Star Ranking of other countries. I have always had a headache about the Ice City matter. Fortunately, this little guy Lin Zhen appeared, and I have relieved a worry of my mind."

Chen Fenglie nodded. "That's right. When Yan Qi Ye established this rule, the Heavenly Star Ranking of other countries also objected, but in the end it was still implemented. No matter what war, disaster or anything else, the Heavenly Star Ranking are not allowed to interfere unless it involves the life and death of mankind. So we can only watch and are powerless to do anything about it."

"That's right. I remember you wanted to get involved in the Raging Wind Martial Hall back then, but you can't now. Who told you to climb to seventeenth place on the Heavenly Star Ranking?" An Bihuai laughed.

"I see you can't let go of worldly affairs either. An Ning probably doesn't even know you exist. Even if you save her and Ice City, no one will appreciate it." Chen Fenglie immediately retorted to An Bihuai. He was over sixty years old this year, but he was the youngest on the Heavenly Star Ranking. Even An Bihuai, who was 175 years old, was still considered young on the Heavenly Star Ranking.

Young people tend to have more in common, and An Bihuai didn't want to hang out with those old fogies. Instead, he preferred to cultivate with Chen Fenglie.

After a few lighthearted words, Chen Fenglie's expression turned serious as he asked, "Mr. An, do you think Lin Zhen has a chance of being listed on the Heavenly Star Ranking?"

An Bihuai thought for a moment, "The chances are high, but it might be difficult in the short term. At least for now, among the rising stars of Huaxia, Jin Qichao, the founder of the Northwest Military Martial Hall, Shang Jin, the founder of the Azure Sky Martial Hall, are also geniuses, ranking second and third on the Dark Star Ranking respectively. They seem to have a better chance."

Chen Fenglie nodded. "That's right, but I've watched Lin Zhen grow up all along. Even I can't see through this kid's potential."

"What? Still thinking about Bermuda?" An Bihuai asked.

"Of course we're thinking about it, but Divine Dragon. Yan Qi Ye is elusive, and Qing Xu has been missing for years. It's unlikely that the two of us can accomplish anything in Bermuda on our own."

"I advise you not to pursue Lin Zhen for now. Although Lin Zhen is indeed very promising, he is currently facing considerable difficulties, and it is hard to say whether he can get past the Church."

Chen Fenglie glanced at An Bihuai: "Do you think Yan Huang can still cause trouble for Lin Zhen?"

"Of course, that's a possibility. The Holy Light Set and the Starry Sky Crown left behind by Karen, the first Holy Son of the Starry Sky God Sect, are not simple. Especially the Starry Sky Crown. I once heard Mr. Yan Qi Ye say that he once fought Karen and lost to Karen because Karen was wearing the Starry Sky Crown. Of course, Yan Qi Ye won the second challenge, and Karen left the Starry Sky Crown in the Church. If Yan Huang can really obtain the power of the Starry Sky Crown, Lin Zhen will almost certainly have no chance of winning."

Upon hearing An Bihuai mention this matter, Chen Fenglie nodded, "I've heard about it too. I'm not in a hurry, but lately I've been experiencing inexplicable heart palpitations, as if something uncontrollable is about to happen."

"Hehe, your strength has just reached the standard, you've only had a little experience. We veterans on the Heavenly Star Ranking have had this feeling for a long time. Mr. Yan Qi Ye even made a prediction that the time would be about three years from now, and there would be a major change on Earth!"

"Oh, he said something like that? In that case, Earth is in danger!" Chen Fenglie's expression changed.

"Perhaps. Some things are unpredictable, whether they will bring disaster or opportunity is hard to say. Let's wait and see." An Bihuai picked up his wine pot again, and Chen Fenglie also took out a small wine pot. The two clinked their glasses and drank wine under the starry sky. They were truly unique.

This chapter features two minor characters: Shang Jin, the book's Helm Master (U Bounty Hunter), Qing Xu, the book's protector (Qing, Xu).
