Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 187 Dispelling the Suspicion
"What bad luck?" Lin Xiufeng said proudly.

"It's clearly the Heaven-Turning Organization's good fortune! Without me as their leader, would Xiaoying have joined? Would their dream of exiting the Heavenly Martial Realm have been realized so quickly?"

"No, how can you be so proud of living off a woman? Have you no shame?" Renxing said with utter contempt.

Lin Xiufeng said confidently:
"Looking down on other people's wives for being better is just sour grapes, you know? If others are jealous of me, it means I should be proud!"

This capriciousness was utterly outrageous towards Lin Xiufeng, and he couldn't help but say to Lin Qiru:
"Shameless! Unreliable! And a jerk! What do you like about him?"

"And what about you?" Lin Qiru's sudden question left Renxing stunned.

She was speechless for a long while before she hurriedly said:

"I don't like him at all! I haven't liked him for a long time!"

Lin Qiru smiled and said:
"That's probably because of the reasons you liked him before, or maybe even more so?"

"You two! One of you is willing to hit, and the other is willing to be hit! I suggest locking you up!" Renxing suddenly concluded.

She discovered that Lin Qiru was obsessed with love, the kind of obsessive-compulsive love that's terrifying.

Judging from Lin Xiufeng's assessment, Lin Qiru could overlook his shortcomings, while his strengths were constantly magnified...

My stubborn mood is a bit frustrating...

She felt she had never experienced such a strong sense of frustration.

It was a kind of despondency, a complete loss of fighting spirit, a complete lack of will to fight.

The bulging King Snakehead, as if filled with rage, flew through the night sky at full speed...

The King of Snakes occasionally spews out celestial power from its tail, propelling its flight speed.

Four days later, the King of Snakes landed at the Lone King Volcano.

The Anti-Heaven Organization members were already used to this scene.

They all thought the King of Snakes was a mutated, glowing creature under their control.

They usually rest in the deep waters of the crater, only coming out to move when prompted.

Although the crater is usually a restricted area, over time, the guards noticed that the King of Snails had been acting recklessly since it landed.

Some people speculated that the person who controlled the mutated beast, the King of Snakes, was simply willful.

However, no one could have imagined that the truth was not the driving force, but rather a transformation.

When the guards saw Lin Xiufeng, Lin Qiru, and Renxing walk out together, many of them stood up straight in excitement.

The clouds of doubt that had hung over them vanished, and they rallied, their expressions turning serious, and shouted:

"Heavenly might is invincible! Greetings, Chief!"

"Heavenly might is invincible! Greetings, Chief!"

"Heavenly might is invincible! Greetings, Chief!"

...As they passed by, all the Heavenly Warriors and Heavenly Martial Souls from the anti-Heavenly Organization who saw them had their doubts vanished, replaced by an extraordinary brightness and enthusiasm as if they had been ignited.

Upon hearing the news, Mei Xiaoxiao and other heads of various departments of the Anti-Heaven Organization arrived, and like the other Heavenly Warriors, the doubts in their hearts were swept away.

The doubts that Lin Xiufeng and Lin Qiru abandoned the Anti-Heaven Organization and returned to live on Tianlan Star have been dispelled.

"Where have the leader and Tianwei gone lately? Everyone's speculating."

Lin Xiufeng had already prepared a reason.

"I have some ideas for practicing martial arts that require traveling around, but I didn't expect you all to make such a mess of things."

“We will continue to go out in the future, but we will conduct regular patrols of the villages within the organization so that you know we are safe and sound, in order to avoid any chaos.”

"Get down to business. Everyone's in such a panic and chaotic state. What's going on?"

Mei Xiaoxiao and the others all felt it was illogical. With so many highly skilled people gathered in the base, who couldn't Lin Xiufeng find to practice his skills? What kind of skills could he possibly learn by just wandering around outside?

Do two people practice Yin-Yang combined exercises in a private setting?

They're clearly taking advantage of the vacation to go out and have fun!

If you're going to have fun, then contact the village that organized the event as soon as possible. If everyone has news of them, why is everyone so panicked?

Seeing that everyone was silent, Mei Xiaoxiao spoke first:

"There has been some progress in negotiations with the Tianwu Group. Justice Avenger No. 1 was released not long ago."

"The Tianwu Group came to us, saying that Avenger One killed a vice principal in the Sun District of Tianlan Star, and that Avenger One has been captured by the Tianwu Group."

“I replied as instructed by the leader, saying that we would strengthen the management of exports, but since there are exports to return home but no roads, many people are impatient and cannot restrain themselves, which inevitably leads to chaos. If we reach an agreement earlier and have clear rules to follow, management will be much easier.”

"Minister Qin Yong of the Tianwu Group said that he understands our difficulties and will actively report them to Tianlan Star."

"Should we wait, or continue with the plan of sending one or two righteous avengers back to Tianlan Star every week?"

Lin Xiufeng considered and said, "Proceed according to plan. Remember: do not let them out openly. Let the avengers think that they just happened to know the guards, and that their unfortunate experiences happened to move the guards. Then use benefits to persuade the guards to let them into the exit of Tianwu Realm."

Mei Xiaoxiao expressed her confidence in this matter as follows:
"Rest assured, leader. The target guards are selected naturally. The first Avenger is gathering information at the base on the opposite shore."

"Among the guards on leave, there was one who had such thoughts. Whether he was moved by the story of the Avengers or for personal gain, it is currently unknown."

"The key point is that everything was his own choice, and when the negotiations end and it comes to the investigation, he has no grievances to speak of."

Lin Xiufeng was aware of this operation, and some of the adjustments were even requested by him.

Mei Xiaoxiao had originally chosen a candidate, but Lin Xiufeng rejected it.

To focus on the design of a particular guardian is to manipulate someone else's fate.

But letting everything happen naturally, and ultimately helping the Avengers, was his own choice.

The original plan was that if none of the guards did this.

In the end, a guard will be chosen to carry out the task. Of course, in that case, Lin Xiufeng will not take any action after the negotiations are over.

On the contrary, it was a meritorious deed.

Unfortunately, this solution was not used.

Mei Xiaoxiao was in charge of the negotiations, which were of paramount importance, and everyone in the Anti-Heaven Organization was hoping for a result as soon as possible.

In addition to that, there was an invitation to cooperate with the anti-heaven organization.

Lin Xiufeng wasn't very interested at first, and the people in the Anti-Heaven Organization also thought that they should wait until the Anti-Heaven Organization confirmed that it was willing to be merged before discussing it.

As a result, the situation has changed recently.

"Some of the ministers in the Heavenly Martial Corps, including the peerless sword saint, formed the Heaven-Breaking Corps, which is clearly aimed at Heavenly Might."

"They use the method of massacring villages to quickly cultivate Heavenly Warriors, and have recently slaughtered several villages of the Anti-Heaven Organization."

"But what's worse is that it set a terrible precedent!"

"More and more free men are adopting this tactic, attacking and hunting down other free men."

"So much so that now, even freelancers on the street dare not get too close to strangers, remaining several meters apart and wary of each other."

"After discussion, everyone agreed that the Tianwu Group's use of such methods in the Central City, and Qin Yong's failure to stop it as the minister, was unacceptable."

"It's clearly intentional! By using the peerless sword saint, they're weakening the Heaven-Defying Organization through extreme means. Once the Heaven-Defying Organization is finished, they'll have to face the Heavenly Martial Group alone."

"If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold; the matter of cooperation and alliance between the two sides should be brought forward as soon as possible."

Lin Xiufeng rejected the idea, saying, "If the basic conditions for cooperation and alliance are not met, there is nothing to talk about. Let Nitian fire the people from the Fantian Organization first."
