Fishing in Troubled Waters: Black Sun's Madness

Zhang Xingfeng and Wu Feng chatted for a long time before leaving the Immortal Pavilion and heading to the Flying Immortal Tower.

At this moment, Zhang Xingfeng was relaxed and had no worries. However, the Black Sun Ancestor, who wanted to kill him as soon as possible, was like a crazy avenger, frantically shouting that he wanted to catch the murderer.

The black energy around the Black Sun Ancestor wildly and erratically, completely enveloping his entire figure. The Black Sun Ancestor below could not see Black Sun Ancestor expression at all.

"What did you gain today?" A deep, hoarse voice came from the black air currents.

The Third Elder below trembled inwardly. Although he was one of the Great Elder of the Black Sun Sect, the entire Black Sun Sect was completely under the control of the Black Sun Ancestor. None of them dared to resist in the slightest.

Hearing the emotionless voice of the Black Sun Ancestor, the Third Elder knew something was wrong, but he could only reply.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, the disciples of the sect and the demon forces of the City of Heavenly Chasm have been searching for some time now, but there is still no trace of them. The young sect master's power has reached the Demon Emperor realm (there are six levels: Heavenly Demon, Devil Lord, Demon Emperor, Demon Emperor, Demon Venerable, and Demon Lord), which is similar to the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal of the Immortal Realm. Moreover, he possesses the top-tier artifact, the Black Sun Divine Armor. Even a Demon Emperor would find it difficult to kill the young sect master. And if it were a Demon Emperor -level expert, even with a top-tier artifact, it would probably be difficult to kill the young sect master, let alone a Demon Emperor- level figure. How could anyone other than the young sect master possess a top-tier artifact? Therefore, the murderer is probably a Demon Emperor-level figure, or even... a Demon Venerable-level figure!" The Third Elder said.

The Black Sun Ancestor roared, "Enough! Get out of here!"

The Third Elder was shocked and immediately left the room.

In the sealed room, only the Black Sun Ancestor, surrounded by black air currents, and his panting could be heard.

The Black Sun Ancestor, whose State of Mind was in turmoil from the Third Elder's repeated use of "Young Sect Master," was now filled with immense grief. He had spent millions of years with his son, whose status in his heart was almost equal to that of the sect itself. He had even given his son his most important top-tier divine artifact, demonstrating the extent of his affection for him. But now, his son had been murdered, and he, the father, had yet to find the killer!

Suddenly, the aura emanating from the Black Sun Ancestor slowly dissipated, revealing his true form. If the Third Elder were to see it, he would surely be startled. The Black Sun Ancestor's once lustrous black hair had now turned completely white, and his previously unfathomable eyes had become bloodthirsty red.

"Yan'er, I know it's your father who has ruined you! It's your father who has ruined you!" Black Sun Ancestor groaned as if crying.

Suddenly, a fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the Black Sun Ancestor: "I know, it must be a Demon Emperor-level figure from the Blood Kill Gate, it must be them. They coveted your divine armor, and you were killed because of it!" The Black Sun Ancestor was in anguish. He believed that it was definitely because they coveted the divine armor that they committed such a deadly act.

However, the Black Sun Ancestor never considered that he was a Demon Lord-level expert. It wasn't that it was impossible, but rather that the Black Sun Ancestor subconsciously denied it from the bottom of his heart!

Even if the murderer were truly a Demon Lord-level expert, he wouldn't have the strength to take revenge. His power level is the lowest among Demon Lords, at the early stage. The two Supreme Elders of the Blood Kill Gate are both at the late stage of Demon Lord, so killing him would be no challenge at all. Most importantly, he doesn't have a top-tier artifact. With low power and poor weapon, how could he possibly compete with other Demon Lords?

"Black Sun Divine Armor, Black Sun Divine Armor, humph, it actually completely altered the aura of my Black Sun Divine Armor, I, the original owner, can't even sense the aura of this divine artifact anymore!" The Black Sun Ancestor was going crazy!

Artifacts with masters are generally uncontrollable by others. While it's not impossible to forcibly alter the aura of an artifact and erase the original owner's aura, it's a secret. Only when one's cultivation reaches the late stage of Demon Lord, and their Demonic Yuan Power begins to slowly acquire a trace of Divine Power, can the aura of the artifact be modified to completely erase the original owner's aura! But how many people in the entire Demon Realm have reached the late stage of Demon Lord?

"Late-stage Demon Lord, hahahaha... Late-stage Demon Lord, how many late-stage Demon Lords are there in this Demon Realm? The Blood Kill Gate has two. You two old codgers must have helped your sect's disciples reforge my divine artifact. Hmph, of course you two old codgers wouldn't care about my divine artifact, after all, your divine artifacts aren't much worse than mine. Now, my power is inferior to yours, so I'll let you two old codgers live a little longer. However, those Demon Emperors you brought..." The Black Sun Demon Lord revealed a cruel smile, which looked even more terrifying in the dark room!

How could the Black Sun Demon Lord have imagined that, aside from those in the later stages of the Demon Lord realm, divine beasts like Little Dragon were born with dragon armor, which was essentially an integral part of its body! Divine artifacts can fuse with the body, and naturally, they can fuse with dragon armor as well. Dragon armor possesses the characteristics of regular armor; the fusion of the two would drastically alter its aura. How could he possibly detect that divine artifact? Moreover, the Black Sun Divine Armor, having fused with the dragon armor, had already fundamentally changed!

It's important to know that although the Dragon Armor is currently inferior in level, it has the potential to grow. The current Dark Gold Divine Armor has also undergone some changes and may even reach the level that all divine artifacts dream of!

Zhang Xingfeng was walking towards the Tianxin Sect's headquarters with *** Yan. As for his master, Tianchenzi? Heh, Zhang Xingfeng could only manage a helpless smile when he thought of this.

"I never expected this, I never expected that someone as strict as Master would become like this?" Zhang Xingfeng shook his head and sighed deeply. He recalled Tianchenzi's words at the Flying Immortal Tower: "Sui Yu, your current skill has reached an extremely profound level, and you also have a very good relationship with that Immortal Monarch Wu Feng. Moreover, you are Purple Star Immortal. The task of the rise of my Tianxin Sect is entrusted to you. I am just a Luo Tian Heavenly Immortal, and I can't help you at all. I'll just wander around and enjoy myself!"

When Zhang Xingfeng thought of the intimate way Tianchenzi and Fairy Yuxian had acted back then, he felt completely relieved...

"Don't even mention Master. He's had feelings for Sister Yuxian for a long time. Now that Sister Yuxian has feelings for him too, how can he not seize the opportunity?" ***Yan said from the side.

Zhang Xingfeng frowned, glanced at Yu Xian, and said, "What kind of address is that? How can you call Fairy Yuxian 'sister'? She is Master's dao companion. Once this is confirmed, she will be our Master's wife. You're still calling her 'sister'? Doesn't this completely mess up the generations?"

***Yan smacked her lips and said, "Is this my fault? When I was over there, I called all the younger disciples of Flying Immortal Tower 'sister.' If I called other people 'sister,' should I call Yuxian 'sister' or 'master's wife'?"

Zhang Xingfeng was confused. Fairy Yuxian was considered a younger disciple in the Flying Immortal Tower. ***Yan addressed all the younger disciples as "sister," so calling Fairy Yuxian's wife" would indeed mess up the seniority. However, Fairy Yuxian would be his master's wife in the future!

Zhang Xingfeng's mind went completely blank for a moment, and he said helplessly, "Alright, call her 'sister' now. Once your master's relationship with her is settled, you can call her 'master's wife'!"

***Yan immediately nodded in agreement.

The two then chatted casually, laughing and talking as they walked into the camp. Suddenly, Zhang Xingfeng's body stiffened, and he immediately said to Yu Yan, "Yu Yan, you go back and rest first. I have important matters to attend to. I'll be right back!"

***Yan was puzzled, but still nodded. Zhang Xingfeng turned around and teleported Teleportation, arriving ten thousand feet above the City of Heavenly Chasm!

Zhang Xingfeng casually set up a protective barrier around himself, then sat cross-legged, thinking to himself, "What on earth happened over there? Such a powerful energy reaction must be at the level of a Demon Emperor. Luckily, the battle took place in the air, otherwise, the City of Heavenly Chasm would have been in grave danger!" Zhang Xingfeng immediately sent out his Divine Sense, his destination—a thousand feet above the Devil Palace!

"You brat, the Supreme Elder will surely avenge me!" With a furious roar, the sixth of the thirteen elders of the Blood Kill Gate was annihilated, his soul scattered to the winds!

A cruel, poisonous glint flashed in the eyes of the Black Sun Demon Lord: "Hmph, that old fellow Ling Xia Yu is very powerful, but does he have any evidence?" The Black Sun Demon Lord vanished in a flash, appearing in the Devil Palace in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Xingfeng, high in the sky, laughed, "It seems the Black Sun Demon Lord has finally lost his temper. Brilliant, brilliant! Where is the Blood Kill Gate? Where is that Third Grand Elder? Hurry up and kill the Black Sun Demon Lord! True Person I, the True Immortal, will be all set! Although you used a restriction, Black Sun Demon Lord, I could still sense the powerful energy reaction, let alone that terrifying Third Grand Elder. Hehe, Black Sun Demon Lord, prepare to die!"

Zhang Xingfeng didn't know that although Black Sun Demon Lord wasn't a particularly meticulous person, he wasn't stupid either. How could he not have a pre-arranged plan?

Inside the Devil Palace, in the room of the Black Sun Demon Lord, sat atop a wall, holding the mid-grade divine artifact left behind by the Sixth Elder. A smile appeared on his face, "Hmm, I killed one. Yan'er, don't worry, your father will definitely avenge you. Take your time, kill them one by one. Once you've killed all the Blood Kill Gate's Demon Emperor-level figures, that will be revenge. As for those who die, consider them interest!"

However, Black Sun Demon Lord didn't consider that a Demon Emperor-level figure is the true pillar of a sect and the future anchor of its power. How could his Blood Kill Gate possibly tolerate Black Sun Demon Lord's continued slaughter?

"I've secretly placed restrictions around the entire Devil Palace. Even if the battle is fierce, the Devil Palace won't be able to detect it. That old codger Ling Xia Yu, who lives in the Devil Palace hall, won't be able to find out either. However, his power is too high, so it's hard to say. But I've also placed restrictions in the battle area—a double restriction! Ling Xia Yu can't possibly find it!" The Black Sun Demon Lord laughed confidently...

Black Sun Demon Lord forgot that he had placed a restriction around the Devil Palace. No one in the Devil Palace discovered the battle, but almost all the experts in the Immortal Realm who had reached the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal realm had discovered it. However, the experts in the Immortal Realm disdained to interfere in the affairs of the Demon Realm, but this also meant that the matter was not very secret and that one day the Blood Kill Gate would find out. On that day, the Black Sun Demon Lord's doomsday would arrive!

Ling Xia Yu was talking with Elder Mi Yang at the moment.

"Miyang, my second brother and I worked together to help you break through to the late stage of Demon Emperor and reach the early stage of Demon Venerable. Now our Blood Kill Gate also has three Demon Venerables. However, this is just the prosperity before decline!" Ling Xia Yu said with a sigh.

Elder Mi Yang frowned and said, "How is that possible? With two Supreme Elders, which sect in my Blood Kill Gate can withstand us?"

Ling Xia Yu smiled bitterly, "It's all my eldest brother's fault. Back then, he successfully Tribulation Transcendence and even helped my second brother and me reach the late stage of Demon Lord. Now, so many years have passed. Most importantly, back then, my eldest brother used Divine Power to help us, but at the same time, he left a trace of Divine Power within my second brother and me. Although this made our cultivation easier, it also made my second brother and me reach the Tribulation Transcendence faster. My second brother and I know that in less than ten thousand years, we will both Tribulation Transcendence! At that time, the sect will depend on you!"

Elder Mi Yang suddenly felt a lot more pressure on him. How could a mere early-stage Demon Lord possibly support the Blood Kill Gate, such a massive sect?

Ling Xia Yu suddenly laughed, "Don't worry, the probability of passing the Divine Tribulation is very high, almost more than 50%, so you don't need to worry. Once my second brother and I succeed, we will stay in the sect for a while longer. At that time, my second brother and I will help those elders improve their cultivation a bit... Oh no!"

Ling Xia Yu's heart trembled. The aura of the Sixth Elder who had come with him suddenly disappeared without a trace. Ling Xia Mi immediately moved and vanished from the room.

Elder Mi Yang's skill was slightly lower than Ling Xia Yu's, but he was still a Demon Lord-level expert. He quickly noticed and immediately Teleportation to catch up!

The two instantly appeared at the site of the previous battle.

Ling Xia Yu was known for her fiery temper, being the most unpredictable of the three Supreme Elder back then—a fact known to all the Blood Kill Gate disciples. However, as her cultivation deepened and she experienced the loneliness of having few rivals, Ling Xia Yu mellowed considerably. But now...

"Who is it? Who dares to kill my Blood Kill Gate elder!" Ling Xia Yu suddenly flew into a rage, her Divine Sense sweeping across the entire City of Heavenly Chasm.

He instantly discovered that there were over a hundred people observing the entire City of Heavenly Chasm, but they all seemed to be immortals, all of whom had reached the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal realm or higher! "How come there are no experts from the Demon Realm?" Ling Xia Yu immediately scanned the Devil Palace with her Divine Sense. Although the restriction had been lifted, traces still remained, making it easy to detect.

Elder Mi Yang said, "To be able to kill the Sixth Elder, and seemingly so decisively, one's power must be at least at the late stage of the Demon Emperor realm, or even the Demon Venerable realm!"

"The Demon Emperor or the Demon Lord? An Yan, impossible. Then... Black Sun, yes, it must be that guy. He must be avenging his son!" Ling Xia Yu instantly confirmed it. Although he had no evidence, he was certain. "Black Sun brat, I originally wanted to let you be famous for a while longer, but now you're courting death!" A fierce light flashed in Ling Xia Yu's eyes, and his figure flashed as he rushed towards the residence of Black Sun Ancestor!

Although Ling Xia Yu has no evidence, does she really need evidence to prove Ling Xia Yu murder?
