Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"It requires at least ten people working together?"

Lu Feng frowned slightly.

"good."

Cao Keying, who had been silent for a long time, stepped forward and slowly said, "Junior Brother Lu Feng, just as Duan Lang said, with the manpower we have right now, even if we can forcibly open the Star Sealing Platform, we will not be able to perfectly repair the Penglai Star Sealing Array."

"And that's why we've lingered here for so long, yet haven't taken any action..."

At this point, Cao Keying also sighed and shook her head, looking helpless.

Originally, she planned to wait for reinforcements in place before working together to repair the Penglai Sealing Star Formation. However, she never expected that instead of reinforcements, she would receive news of the deaths of Chang Yuchun and the others.

"Damn it! Are we just supposed to stand here and do nothing?!"

Upon hearing this, Leng Ying's expression also turned ugly.

After all, the Starfall Secret Realm is no paradise on earth. Not only are there rampant monsters inside, but there are also star disasters raging everywhere. It is full of dangers!

Even if they stayed in Falling Star Valley, it wouldn't be a long-term solution.

Because there is currently a group of unidentified remnants of the Wusheng Cult lurking in the shadows, and the Starfall Secret Realm can only be opened for about three months each time before it automatically closes.

Therefore, the repair of the Penglai Star-Sealing Array cannot be delayed at all!

Otherwise, once the Starfall Secret Realm closes automatically and Earth Tiger Star breaks through the array seal, not only will they be trapped here to die, but the entire Falling Star Academy will also suffer!

"Ah, if only Miss Zhong were here right now...!"

Ren Lingyun also sighed, a look of感慨 on his face, as if he had suddenly remembered someone, "With Miss Zhong's strength and methods, she will definitely be able to resolve the current crisis...!"

"Miss Zhong?"

The others were somewhat taken aback, seemingly not understanding the meaning behind the other person's words, but Cao Keying's pretty face slightly hardened, then her eyes widened, "Hmph! So you bastard, you've been thinking about that woman all along..."

"No wonder you, you scoundrel, risked my life to find that woman alone...!"

Cao Keying's eyebrows furrowed, her fists clenched, her pretty face filled with anger. She was clearly quite dissatisfied with, and even hostile towards, the person Ren Lingyun had mentioned!

"Uh! Miss Cao, what happened in the past is not as you imagine, and Miss Zhong and I are merely fellow disciples, with no other relationship whatsoever..."

Seeing Cao Keying glaring at him angrily, Ren Lingyun panicked and hurriedly explained, "As for putting you in danger back then, that was a huge misunderstanding...!"

"Hmph! I'm too lazy to waste words with you, take this!"

Interrupting Ren Lingyun's explanation in a cold voice, Cao Keying immediately leaped forward and attacked, simultaneously raising her hand to thrust her sword at him. It seemed that she would not be able to quell her resentment until she taught Ren Lingyun a severe lesson.

"Wow!"

"Why did they suddenly start fighting?!"

"Oh no! With Auntie's explosive temper, Brother Ren is most likely in deep trouble...!"

"Hey! This is the first time I've ever seen Sister Cao so angry. Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince of Dongyun Kingdom and Sister Cao have some deep-seated grudge from the past?"

The sudden change aroused not only Lu Feng's curiosity, but also Duan Lang and Baturu, who were standing nearby, looked surprised.

"Fellow Daoist Duan, do you know the background of the Miss Zhong that His Highness the Crown Prince mentioned?"

Composing himself, Lu Feng turned to look at Duan Lang, who was also somewhat bewildered.

After all, women are emotional beings, especially when it comes to someone they like.

At this moment, Cao Keying was enraged on the spot just by hearing a name, as if someone had touched a sore spot.

This clearly shows that the Miss Zhong mentioned by Ren Lingyun is no ordinary person, and most likely has an extraordinary background!

"Well, that's a long story..."

Faced with Lu Feng's curious gaze, Duan Lang was taken aback for a moment, then said somewhat awkwardly, "The person Brother Ren mentioned is named Zhong Lingyu. Although she is a woman, she is incredibly strong, comparable to a Yuanhai Realm expert, and has consistently ranked first in the Eastern Academy!"

"Not only that, Zhong Lingyu has also maintained an undefeated record of 100 consecutive matches in previous academy competitions. Her illustrious reputation is known to everyone in the entire Yuanfeng Realm, thus earning her the title of the number one prodigy of Luoxing Academy!"

"However, this is the first time I've heard that my aunt and Zhong Lingyu have a grudge..."

After saying that, Duan Lang spread his hands outwards again, his face full of helplessness.

After all, the grudges and feuds between women are the most troublesome and the most difficult to resolve!

"The best in the East Campus, Zhong Lingyu!"

Hearing this, Lu Feng also took a deep breath, his heart filled with emotion, "Alas, this woman is truly an extraordinary woman...!"

"No wonder His Highness the Crown Prince still can't forget this woman..."

After all, Falling Star Academy is the number one academy in Yuanfeng Realm. In addition to martial artists from the four kingdoms of Lingnan, it also gathers a large number of top geniuses from all over the continent, making it a gathering of heroes!

Zhong Lingyu is merely a woman, yet she is able to overpower all the heroes and hold the title of the number one prodigy of Luoxing Academy for decades, which naturally inspires respect!

...

On the other side of the Star Sealing Platform

"Miss Cao, please calm down and let me explain...!"

Ren Lingyun forced back the furious Cao Keying with a single palm strike, but did not pursue her. He looked troubled, as if he dared not go all out for fear of hurting her.

"Hmph! Explain? What's there to explain! Save those lies for that woman, Zhong Lingyu!"

Ignoring Ren Lingyun's explanation, Cao Keying launched another attack, simultaneously thrusting her sword at Ren Lingyun's vital chest. Her attack was extremely fierce and cunning, showing no intention of holding back at all!

"Women are definitely not to be messed with...!"

"Your Highness, may you rest in peace!"

Seeing this, Lu Feng secretly complained while silently mourning for Ren Lingyun in his heart.

After all, when it comes to matters between men and women, even if he wanted to help the other person, there was absolutely nothing he could do!

Rumble...!

Just as Cao Keying and Ren Lingyun were locked in a fierce battle, a deafening roar suddenly came from the entrance of Falling Star Valley, like rocks rolling down the ground, which immediately drew the attention of everyone present.

"Something's wrong...!"

"What happened?"

"Everyone, be careful!"

Just as everyone present was on guard, several figures in black robes descended from the sky and landed on one side of the Sealing Star Platform. The leader among them was tall and had two swords at his waist. He was surrounded by a murderous aura and was none other than Zhang Dabiao, the leader of the Sun-type branch of the Wusheng Sect!

"Hehe, I didn't expect the Star Sealing Platform to be so lively. I thought something had happened..."

Zhang Dabiao glanced at everyone present again, grinned, and then cupped his hands in greeting, "Fellow disciples, please forgive my lateness."

Although he is known as the leader of the Sun Branch of the Wusheng Sect, Zhang Dabiao has another identity: he is an elite disciple of the East Campus of Luoxing Academy, and his strength and cultivation are in no way inferior to Ren Lingyun and Cao Keying.

This is why Zhang Dabiao dared to appear openly at Fengxingtai and was not afraid of exposing his identity.

"Huh? It's Brother Zhang! You scared me to death! I thought it was the remnants of the Wusheng Sect attacking...!"

Upon seeing that the newcomer was Zhang Dabiao, Duan Lang, who had been on guard, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He then put down his sword and said, "Don't worry, everyone, we're all on the same side!"

"Brother Zhang, you've finally arrived!"

Ren Lingyun, who was originally entangled in the fight, also turned his gaze over, and then his face lit up with joy.

He was originally struggling with the problem of insufficient manpower, but now Zhang Dabiao has arrived with his three-man team, which is just enough to gather the ten people needed to repair the Penglai Sealing Star Formation. It can be said that this is a timely help!

"Hahaha! Truly, there's always a way out!"

Laughing heartily, Baturu retracted his spiked club and exclaimed excitedly, "Brother Zhang, I knew you guys would be alright!"

"Now that Brother Zhang has stepped in to help, once we work together to repair the Penglai Star Sealing Array, we can finally go back and report to the elders in the courtyard!"

"Hehe, that's exactly what I was thinking too, but..."

Faced with Baturu's suggestion, Zhang Dabiao merely raised the corners of his mouth slightly, then changed the subject and said in a low voice, "There is a traitor lurking among us, and this person is deeply involved with the remnants of the Wusheng Sect..."

"If this person is not eliminated now, not only will the mission to repair the Penglai Sealing Star Array fail, but it could also bring death to all of us present...!"

After speaking, Zhang Dabiao turned his gaze to Lu Feng, who was standing not far away, and his tone was suggestive.

"traitor?"

"Brother Zhang, there's something wrong with what you're saying..."

"Yes, everyone here at Fengxingtai is one of our own. Where would a traitor come from?"

Upon hearing this, not only were Duan Lang and Baturu puzzled, but Xia Zhenhu and Leng Ying, who were standing to the side, also looked at each other, seemingly not understanding who the "traitor" Zhang Dabiao was referring to was.

"Hmph! Haven't you all realized yet? This traitor is none other than... Lu Feng!"

Seeing the questioning looks from the crowd, Zhang Dabiao didn't bother with further words. He pointed to Lu Feng standing not far away, his face turning grim. "This man not only secretly colluded with the remnants of the Wusheng Sect, but also took advantage of the opening of the Starfall Secret Realm to ambush and kill fellow disciples throughout the academy!"

"Even Fellow Daoist Chang and others died tragically at his hands; his crimes are heinous and he deserves divine punishment!"

Zhang Dabiao was filled with righteous indignation, his eyes blazing with anger, as if Lu Feng had committed an unforgivable crime!

"This guy's after me...?"

Faced with Zhang Dabiao's sudden framing, Lu Feng's expression also hardened, and then his brows furrowed.

As the saying goes, everything has a cause and effect. He and Zhang Dabiao were complete strangers, but now the other party suddenly appeared and accused him of being a traitor. There must be something fishy going on!
