True Identity

"Who dares to trespass into the Lan Mansion!" A loud shout suddenly rang out, and then two figures appeared in front of the elite team of the Dark Devour Cult Sect.

The two men looked almost identical, both appearing rather thin, but their imposing aura instantly halted their attack. These two were no ordinary people; they were Lan Hai Tian's close brothers, and also two of the Lan Mansion's top guards. Their skill was comparable to Lan Hai Tian's, having reached the Low-grade Divine Human Realm. The spirit stones and various treasures they needed for cultivation were all provided by Lan Hai Tian, and for this reason, they also guarded the gates of the Lan Hai Tian mansion for him!

"Hmph, two King Tier experts dare to block our way? They simply don't want to live!" Dark Thorn sneered disdainfully, while turning his head to glare at the Six Death Guards.

The fact that two King Tier experts were able to discover their whereabouts must be due to the carelessness of the Six Death Guards, who were also King Tier!

"You two little King Tier brats, why don't you surrender now, or else..." Dark Blade Protector stepped forward, simultaneously transmitting his voice to Dark Thorn, "Dark Thorn Protector, please quickly snatch the divine artifact from Lan Hai Tian. He's a very wealthy man; he'll probably have plenty of benefits! We've already gained quite a bit from the million yuan stones we stole!"

Anci's heart skipped a beat, and he nodded to himself. The Lan Mansion's wealth was immense. Anci immediately flashed forward, about to rush into the inner hall to seize the divine artifact and spirit stones.

"Haha... everyone, although my Lan Mansion sells five divine artifacts a month, this month's five artifacts will start tomorrow. Why did you all come tonight? Aren't you a bit too impatient!" Lan Hai Tian suddenly appeared at the entrance of the inner hall, looking at the eight members of the Dark Devour Cult, seemingly not nervous at all, and said with a smile.

Anci paused, slightly taken aback. Looking at Lan Hai Tian, a disdainful smile appeared on his lips, "Hmph, Lan Hai Tian, you're just a Low-grade Divine Human, so hand over the divine artifact. Of course, you might as well send some spirit stones along with it. By the way, you don't have a divine artifact-level bracelet. It seems that the divine artifact is in the secret chamber behind the inner hall!"

Lan Hai Tian's heart skipped a beat. He was the only one who knew about the secret chamber inside the inner palace. How did this mysterious figure in front of him also know about it?

"Who are you? How did you find out about this secret room?" Lan Hai Tian immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Dark Assassin chuckled dismissively and said, "Hmph, you don't need to ask that. Are you going to deliver yourself, or do you want me to go on a killing spree? You should have seen my strength by now! You'd better be sensible!" The location of this secret chamber was instructed to him by the Dark Devour Cult Master.

Dark Blade frowned and urged, "Ci An, hurry up, don't waste time, and don't forget the patriarch's orders!"

The Dark Blade and Dark Assassin have a secret code: in front of outsiders, the sect leader calls himself the family head and reverses his name, thus arousing suspicion. After all, the Dark Devour Cult Sect is currently displaying too much strength—two Mid-grade Divine Human and six Low-grade Divine Human. Moreover, the Mid-grade Divine Human possess top-tier divine artifacts, and the Low-grade Divine Human possess mid-grade divine artifacts! This is extraordinary; only the Five Great Families possess such power.

Similarly, Lan Hai Tian had no doubts, after all, the two top-tier artifacts were right there! Besides the Five Great Families, who else possessed top-tier artifacts?

"Hmph, your Five Great Families are also super powers in the Spirit Realm, so why did you send two Emperor Rank experts today for a mere low-level divine artifact? Or... is your main purpose to plunder the wealth of my Lan family?" Lan Hai Tian was immediately shocked.

In his mind, ten low-level divine artifacts were not so attractive to the Five Great Families; only his several million yuan stones could possibly attract Five Great Families.

"Dark Assassin, don't waste time, hurry up and make your move!" Dark Blade immediately transmitted his thoughts to Dark Assassin.

Upon hearing this, Anci's eyes flashed with a cold light as he looked at Lan Hai Tian.

At the same time, representatives from almost all the major powers began heading towards the Lan Mansion.

Jiao Jian was quite pleased with himself. "Hmph, although the sale of these divine artifacts starts tomorrow, it's first come, first served. I'll go tonight and wait there; I'll definitely be the first to arrive! If I go tomorrow, there will be a huge crowd there!"

Jiao Jian considers himself very clever, but are others stupid?

So they all rushed over in the middle of the night, knowing that Zhang Xingfeng's land was first-come, first-served! So they all arrived early!

"Yan Dan, you're here too!" Jiao Jian suddenly saw Yan Dan in the distance and exclaimed in surprise.

Yan Dan turned around and saw that there was a bitter smile on his face. He stopped with his men and waited for Jiao Jian to catch up.

"It's not just me who's here, it's almost everyone. Everyone's not stupid. There seem to be quite a few ahead of us. We'd better hurry! But I guess we don't have any hope this time!" Yan Dan said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Jiao Jian was immediately startled. He instantly spread his Divine Sense and looked as wilted as a frostbitten eggplant. He smiled bitterly and said, "Just as Brother Yan Dan said, we'd better hurry up and go. Maybe we can still make it in time!"

The two then arrived outside the Lan Mansion with their respective Lineage servants.

At this time, there was a large number of underground people outside the Lan Mansion, including those from the Five Great Families and other major forces, numbering nearly a thousand. Some important figures entered the Lan Mansion one by one.

Jiao Jian and Yan Dan also ordered their men to stand guard outside, and then the two of them walked into the Lan Mansion!

"Boom!"

A loud bang and the powerful energy startled both Jiao Jian and Yan Dan.

"Ah, this is at least Mid-grade Divine Human level fight!" Jiao Jian and Yan Dan immediately flashed into the inner courtyard.

Meanwhile, the entire inner courtyard of the Lan Mansion was filled with experts from various forces. Most of these leaders were Low-grade Divine Human, and many were Mid-grade Divine Human. However, they all stood there, and none of them made a move.

"You lot actually dared to try and seize the Lan Mansion's wealth and my divine artifact, haha... you're far too overestimating yourselves!"

Zhang Xingfeng's voice was immediately heard by Jiao Jian and Yan Dan. Jiao Jian immediately asked a leader of a certain faction who was a Low-grade Divine Human, "Ah, it seems that someone is trying to steal the divine artifact. Why isn't everyone attacking them?"

The leader glanced at Jiao Jian, seemingly recognizing Jiao Jian, and then replied, "Young Master Qiao, don't rush to speak. Look at the strength of those people!"

Jiao Jian immediately took a step forward, and was immediately shocked!

Of the eight experts, two are Mid-grade Divine Human, and six are Low-grade Divine Human! Moreover, all the Mid-grade Divine Human possess top-grade divine artifacts, while the Low-grade Divine Human possess mid-grade divine artifacts!

"Damn it, which Lineage could send such powerful forces? Only the Ying Family and Sheng Family. It's terrifying. If the people they sent to plunder are this strong, how powerful are they really?" Jiao Jian also hesitated; he didn't want to offend such a powerful force.

Almost all the leaders of the major powers shared the same idea, so they all watched.

However, at the same time, almost everyone became even more confused about Zhang Xingfeng. Zhang Xingfeng became even more mysterious in their eyes because... Zhang Xingfeng stood there, not making a single move. Meanwhile, the two Mid-grade Divine Human were attacking relentlessly with top-tier divine artifacts. But the result was... Zhang Xingfeng remained unmoved, a smile still on his face, and these two peerless experts, such as Mid-grade Divine Human, couldn't even break through his defensive aura.

"Dark Assassin, hurry! We've attacked three times already, but it hasn't had any effect. There are too many people outside, let's go! Those people can't stop us!" Dark Blade immediately transmitted his voice to Dark Assassin.

Anci nodded and instantly sent a telepathic message to the other six Earth Guards who were suppressing Lan Hai Tian and the other two!

"Walk!"

With a loud shout, a flash of light appeared!

"Trying to leave!" Zhang Xingfeng sneered, and the Despair Prison Realm activated instantly. The eight experts arrived in an instant with a tremendous suction force. "Ah!" After a scream, the eight were sucked into the Absolute Space!

Zhang Xingfeng scoffed inwardly, "Hmph, you little shrimps think you can resist the suction force? Right now, I guess only a Spirit Venerable can't forcefully absorb it. However, my power has improved considerably. My Absolute Space defense is probably difficult even for a Celestial God to break through. The Fire Blade's attack power is effective even against Celestial Gods, let alone a Spirit Venerable! With my attack and defense at such a level, I'm confident I can deal with a Spirit Venerable. But I wonder how powerful it would be if a Spirit Venerable controlled Saint Artifact?"

Zhang Xingfeng had some doubts, after all, the Celestial God he faced on Despair Star last time did not have Saint Artifact, and he did not know how powerful Saint Artifact could be in the hands of a Spirit Venerable.

Suddenly, Zhang Xingfeng sneered, "I don't care how strong he is. I'll eat a Ziyuan Pill and let that Spirit Venerable attack me. When I'm on the verge of life and death, Fire Blade will unleash its full power. Hmph, at that time, even a god will die!"

Zhang Xingfeng's move was undeniably vicious. Relying on his possession of the Ziyuan Pill, he dared to put himself in a life-or-death situation. One must know that once things go too far, this life-or-death situation becomes death! However, Zhang Xingfeng was not worried because he had the Ziyuan Pill.

At the same time, Zhang Xingfeng forgot one thing: the Spirit Venerable only possessed a low-level Saint Artifact! But Zhang Xingfeng possessed a top-level Saint Artifact, and his Fire Blade had even broken through the Saint Artifact barrier, possessing an aura that made all Saint Artifact tremble!

"Senior Carefree King is indeed powerful, he completely dealt with these eight people in one move!" Ying Qiang walked up and said with a smile. He already knew that Zhang Xingfeng possessed a Saint Artifact, so he was not surprised at all by this scene.

But what about others?

Almost all the leaders of the factions stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded, as if their minds had short-circuited!

Two experts at the Emperor Rank possessing top-tier divine artifacts, and six experts at the King Tier possessing mid-tier divine artifacts—such formidable strength is possessed only by the Ying Family and Sheng Family among the Five Great Families. The other three Lineage would likely need to pool Lineage entire resources to achieve such power. Yet... they were annihilated by Zhang Xingfeng in a single move!

Is there anything more awe-inspiring than this?

Selling divine artifacts makes Zhang Xingfeng mysterious, but the fact that he wiped out almost an entire Lineage with a single move is terrifying!

In an instant, all the leaders of the various factions made a decision. "We absolutely cannot oppose this mysterious and unfathomable Carefree King!" Indeed, the most powerful leaders of these factions were only Mid-grade Divine Human, and many other leaders were only Low-grade Divine Human, not even enough for Zhang Xingfeng to kill them in one move!

"These guys actually dared to try to steal the divine artifact, they deserve to die!" one of the leaders said righteously.

At the same moment, almost all the leaders realized what was happening and began to flatter Zhang Xingfeng and belittle the six people who had been taken into the Despair Prison Realm by Zhang Xingfeng.

"These guys are breaking the rules, they deserve to die!"

"These bastards dare to be so arrogant in front of Senior Carefree King, they must have a death wish..."

A mysterious smile appeared on Zhang Xingfeng's lips, leaving everyone puzzled as to its meaning.

"These people deserve to die, but to be honest, they were quite powerful. Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to come here to plunder the divine artifacts and the Lan Mansion's wealth. But I'm curious, how did such a powerful force emerge in the Spirit Realm?" Zhang Xingfeng seemed quite puzzled.

Ying Qiang immediately said, "This force is so powerful that only my Ying Family and the Sheng Family could possibly be involved, but my Ying Family absolutely cannot be involved, I can guarantee that!"

Zhang Xingfeng nodded and smiled, "Young Master Ying, I believe you!"

"Ah, then it must be the Sheng Family. Only the Sheng Family has the strength!" said one of the leaders of the various powerful families.

"Who said I belong to the Sheng Family?" Sheng Hao's ethereal voice echoed in the courtyard. At the same moment, Sheng Hao appeared before everyone's eyes. Sheng Hao glanced at everyone indifferently, and everyone fell silent. This was not only due to Sheng Hao's aura, but more importantly, it was because of the Sheng Family that Sheng Hao represented!

The Sheng Family's power is so great that only the combined forces of the other Lineage can surpass them. This gives you an idea of just how powerful the Sheng Family truly is!

Sheng Hao cupped his hands slightly to Zhang Xingfeng and said, "Your Carefree King, my Sheng Family doesn't seem to care about those divine artifacts. I wonder if Your Carefree King can trust me?"

Zhang Xingfeng naturally believed the other party, especially since Zhang Xingfeng had always had a good impression of Sheng Hao. He smiled and said, "Of course I believe you, but if it's not the Ying Family and the Sheng Family, what other power do they have?" Zhang Xingfeng didn't know that this was because Sheng Hao's Innate Chaos Spirit also had a slight attraction to his Innate Fire Spirit.

Sheng Hao smiled slightly and said, "Have you all forgotten... the Dark Forces!"

Everyone was stunned. The Dark Forces had always been hidden in the shadows. Although they could not compare with these major forces, who knew how far Dark Forces had developed over the years?

Looking at everyone's expressions, Sheng Hao smiled slightly, then cupped his hands in farewell and disappeared into the courtyard in a flash.

Half a day later, in the Dark Devour Star!

Sheng Hao stood in the sect leader's secret chamber, his brows furrowed. "What level has this Carefree King reached? I can't observe him, but when the Chaos Spirit merged with the space, I also felt that he was no more than me. But if that's the case, how could he so easily destroy nearly half of my sect's forces? Even if I personally took action, I wouldn't have that kind of strength!"

"Reporting to the Master, Dark Sword Protector requests an audience!"

In an instant, Sheng Hao transformed into the appearance of the Dark Devour Cult Master and said, "Have him wait in the hall!"
