River of Three Crossings

The new trainees, led by Hong Bo, originally planned to trick Lin Zhen, but they didn't expect to be tricked by Lin Zhen in the first place. He made the first move, and the two sides immediately engaged in a melee.

Lin Zhen's eyes were icy cold as he wielded the Yin-Yang Long Spear, each strike bringing down a fallen person.

The members of the Star River Giant Beast Alliance activated their talents, as using talents to fight is the safest approach.

Although the Azure Bee Gang has a large number of members, their quality is actually not as good as Lin Zhen's group.

Hong Bo's talent is the Starry Sky Violent Ape, which makes him grow larger. He wields a long staff, which he swings like a windmill. He is very strong, but he is surrounded by several experts and cannot break free for the time being.

People from both sides kept screaming and falling. Lin Zhen used his Mental Power to send the Seven Stars Knife into the air.

In group battles, the Seven Stars Knife is a more ferocious killing weapon than the Yin-Yang Long Spear.

Seven streaks of Electric Light crisscrossed, drawing deadly arcs in the air, and instantly fell to the ground along with more than a dozen of the opposing team.

"Damn! This kid's fierce!"

"Be careful, this is Azure Sky-level Mind Power Master!"

"His Flying Knife are all divine weapons!"

Lin Zhen stood still, his Flying Knife circling and flying, each one deadly. The bandits fell to the ground as if being mowed down, their numbers rapidly dwindling.

In the blink of an eye, only a few dozen of the more than one hundred people remained. Only then did these people realize how powerful Lin Zhen, and they dared not linger for a moment, fleeing for their lives.

The seven Flying Knife were retrieved, and Lin Zhen's Mental Power spread out like a spider web. Under the combined effect of Gravity and Mental Power, everyone's Space Ring were collected by Lin Zhen.

Without even looking, Lin Zhen directly stored it in the Dark Star Space and turned to leave.

Apart from Tai Shan and Cao Yang waving to Lin Zhen, everyone else stood there stunned, completely unable to accept this scene.

They had thought Lin Zhen was just a rookie, but they never expected him to be such a killing machine. At this moment, they all regretted their Xuan Ze immensely.

In a remote, unknown mountain forest on Baichuan Star, atop sheer cliffs and precipitous peaks, stands a towering pagoda that seems to pierce the clouds.

This is not a Buddhist pagoda, but the headquarters of the Tongtian Tower, one of the Four Great Gangs in the Sanjiang Star Region Federation.

The peripheral members didn't even know where the headquarters was; only a few core members were qualified to enter the Tongtian Tower.

At the top of the 300-story skyscraper, three people are having a meeting.

"This time, our three families are working together to completely wipe out the Qingluan Society. Your two families should have all the people they prepared in place, right?"

"That's right. For this cooperation, our Dixin Qionglou has sent 10,000 Star Stage and 10 Black Hole Stage cultivators. Moreover, they have been dispersed among other gangs. Many people don't even know their identities. We'll definitely catch that group of women off guard."

"We, the Dragon Totem, have dispatched Dragon Race warriors. As you know, it is extremely difficult for us to select talent. The Dragon Totem tattoo is not something that just anyone can use. These eight thousand people are our most elite force under the age of one hundred. Three thousand of them form our main force, and the remaining five thousand are scattered as independent individuals. They can assemble immediately when it is time to do so."

The representative sitting in the middle, dressed in clothes bearing the symbol of the Tongtian Tower, nodded in satisfaction upon hearing the speeches from the representatives of the Dixin Qionglou and the Dragon Totem.

"That's good. All 13,000 of us from the Tongtian Tower are ready. We'll use a similar method to you, infiltrating the World Stone to deliver a fatal blow to the Qingluan Society at the crucial moment."

The representative of the Dragon Totem, whose body was covered with dense Divine Dragon tattoos that seemed to possess some kind of power, nodded and said, "Yes, those wretched women were originally low-class, but twenty years ago, that girl Feng Qingluan rose to power and carved out a place for herself in the Sanjiang Star Region Federation. We, the Dragon Totem, are her mortal enemies, and she has done a lot of harm to us."

"Our Dixin Qionglou is the same. Mining was originally our main business, but she interfered. After several rounds of fighting, we didn't gain any advantage and even lost the mining rights of a large number of resource planets. If this continues, our brothers will go hungry."

"Our Tongtian Tower is the same. That viper-like woman, Feng Qingluan, has turned our slave trade into a complete mess. During the battle on Tianhua Star, she and her men wiped out 400,000 of our brothers. Everyone says our gang is ruthless, but she personally killed more than 100,000 people. I wish I could eat her alive!"

"Hehe, don't be impatient. This is our chance. Feng Qingluan has been in the Fire Kirin Empire for several years now, and the Qingluan Society she built has lost its influence. The so-called Four Beauties of Qingluan are just pretty faces with no substance. Let's take this opportunity to cut off her lifeline!"

"That's right. This time, the Qingluan Society sent 5,000 people, all of them Women's Army. These are the elite of the Qingluan Society. If we take them out, the Qingluan Society can basically say goodbye."

The representative from the Tongtian Tower looked at the other two. "Have you both given your explanations? Where did you plan to make the move?"

"It's all settled. The ambush locations were all pre-selected to ensure everything goes smoothly."

"Let's hope we succeed. Once this is done, the four major gangs of Baichuan Star will become three major gangs. At that time, all of Qingluan Society be split equally among the three of us."

"Of course, but don't forget the treasures of King Yan Jun. It is said that when King Yan Jun was alive, he was also a strong king among kings. After his death, the Book of Inherited Memories was not passed down. It should all be inside the World Stone."

"I've also heard that many powerful figures, before they die, will inscribe all the knowledge they've learned in a Golden Book, which is the Book of Inherited Memories. Whoever obtains the memories of the Realm King will learn all his techniques. This is the most precious treasure, and we must obtain it no matter what."

"They definitely will. This time, all three of us have truly top experts entering: Xuan Zhu from our Tongtian Tower, Apollo from your Dragon Totem, and Tian Ci from the Dixin Qionglou. They are all once-in-a-century geniuses of the Sanjiang Star Region Federation, and they certainly won't leave empty-handed."

"Victory is certain!"

"Victory is certain!"

**** put their hands together, full of confidence.

********

Two Flying Knife flashed through the darkness, silently severing the heads of two approaching Azure Fiend Ghost. Lin Zhen's figure then vanished into the mist.

The fog ahead gradually thinned, and the sound of rushing water could be heard.

"We're almost there, the River of Three Crossings."

Lin Zhen walked out of the foggy area, and the terrain in front of him suddenly opened up.

The River of Three Crossings is a wide, blood-red river stretching for dozens of miles, its entire length obscured by rolling red waves.

It is said that this river is made entirely of blood, all of which is the blood of people that Yan Jun, the King of Hell, killed in his previous life.

No one knows how many people he killed, but it actually formed a boundless river, which is truly terrifying to think about.

People might not have believed this legend before, but when they came to the riverbank, they saw that the churning, blood-red river was filled with wailing, vengeful spirits struggling desperately in the water, trying to devour the humans on the shore, but unable to escape the bondage of the River of Three Crossings.

Those terrifying and twisted ghosts have been here for millions of years, and have become vengeful spirits. Their intense Malevolent Qi makes them incredibly terrifying and powerful, at least at the Satellite Stage. A wave of nauseating stench washes over you, and even the most timid person will retreat in fear at the mere sight of them.

Lin Zhen put on his Metal Mask and quickly approached the riverbank, where a long bridge spanned the river.

"The Bridge of Helplessness, the entrance to the Yellow Springs Underworld."

Many people were already moving quickly across the bridge, and Lin Zhen immediately joined the flow of people, rushing towards the other side.

Halfway there, the ghosts in the river below began to howl wildly, stirring up huge, blood-red waves that seemed ready to pounce on them at any moment.

A slight stinging sensation struck Lin Zhen's mind.

"This is Mental Impact!"

Lin Zhen could feel waves of power attacking him, and some vague illusions rose in his mind.

Those illusions contain negative emotions such as hatred and killing. If you are influenced by them, you may go astray.

With his Azure Sky-color Mental Power circulating, Lin Zhen easily dispelled these illusions with his powerful Mental Power.

"So the River of Three Crossings is a test of Mental Power, but this test is too easy for me, it's not difficult at all."

Many people around stopped and stood there blankly, seemingly affected.

Some would stand there for a while and then start waving their arms and legs wildly, shouting madly, or even plunge headfirst into the river, only to be killed by the ghosts.

With lightning speed, Lin Zhen flew across the river, quickly leaving most of the others behind, and arrived at the front of the river-crossing team.

As they were about to cross the bridge, Lin Zhen saw two groups of people fighting.

One group was dressed in the clothes of the Dixin Qionglou, one of the four major gangs of the Three Rivers, while the other group was a group of all-female members of another gang, the Azure Qingluan Society.

Those women were just as capable as the men when they fought. There were far more men than women among martial artists, and every woman who could advance to a higher level was a genius.

There were about a dozen people on each side, and the fight was quite intense. People were constantly being knocked off the bridge and falling into the River of Three Crossings.

Lin Zhen had no interest in watching or caring about these gang fights; he was about to rush over.

But just as he was about to cross the bridge, he saw three people from the Tongtian Tower attacking a beautiful woman in blue.

Lin Zhen didn't care whether the women were beautiful or not, but he noticed that one of the Demon Clan was the same person who had been with Jin Haoran in the Fairy Forest.

Since he had encountered enemies, Lin Zhen didn't hold back and used three Flying Knife to ambush and kill the three Tongtian Tower members.

The woman in green, who was in dire straits, breathed a sigh of relief after Lin Zhen saved her life and stared at Lin Zhen's back for a while.

"Qing'er! Hurry and cross the river!"

These women were victorious and raced across the River of Three Crossings.
