But this time going to the Star Gate means gaining a whole new identity. No matter how he performs at the Star Gate, it will be difficult for the Great Xia Kingdom to get resource subsidies from the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance through him.

So the help given to him will also reduce.

Unless one day he can continue to protect the Great Xia, helping it obtain more resource subsidies from the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance.

"I will keep your words in mind,"

said Ling Feng respectfully.

"If you really want to thank me, just do me a favor."

The dean smiled.

Ling Feng felt uneasy and said warily, "For someone like you, what can’t be done? If even you can’t do it, how can I?"

"Other than you, no one else can do it."

The dean said with a grin.

"What exactly is it?"

Ling Feng became more nervous.

"Stay in South City and wait for Old Three to come and kill you."

The dean collected himself and said.

"Ah? This... you’re asking me to be bait."

Ling Feng exclaimed.

"Hou Laosan is one of the most notorious human traitors on Ancient Blue Star. If you can kill him, you can get a whole bottle of Primordial Potion, and if you can absorb it all, its value is equivalent to a drop of Five Elements Spirit Liquid. By then, we can split it evenly, how about it?"

The dean reminded.

"Not interested,"

Ling Feng shook his head.

This is too risky. The bald-headed man was ordered to protect him, yet now he is being used as bait to stay in South City, something feels off.

Even though Five Elements Spirit Liquid is extremely valuable.

But Ling Feng has no intention of putting himself in danger.

However, he found it strange. If the bald-headed man wanted to use him as bait, he could just trick him into staying in South City for a few more days; why bother telling him this?

So he hurriedly asked, "Since Hou Laosan is trying by all means to kill me, then you just need to stay by my side and wait for him to come, why tell me these things?"

"Things may not always go according to plan, in case something goes wrong, if the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance traces it back, I have an explanation."

The dean patted his head, walked up to Ling Feng, and smiled.

"You’re not even sure you can deal with Hou Laosan, and you still want me to stay in South City and die."

Ling Feng was somewhat speechless.

"Even if you’re staying at the academy or with the Qin Family right now, as long as you’re not handed over to the Star Gate, you’ll still face various dangers. If Hou Laosan can’t kill you, other human traitors will find ways to kill you. That’s why I, as the dean, personally came to protect you."

The dean reminded.

"How do you know that he has to kill me?"

Ling Feng looked distressed.

"This is an order from Mengba. The strongmen of the Star Gate took you into the depths of the ocean, seemingly to vent human resentment by fiercely humiliating Mengba, which successfully enraged him.

Now they’ve patted their butts and gone back to the Star Gate, but they left you and Qin Qianyu to bear Mengba’s wrath. Qin Qianyu has the entire Qin Family to protect him and can activate the South Heaven Gate Array at any time, but what do you have?"

The dean asked.

"Huh?"

But just as the words fell.

A long rainbow flew in from afar and landed outside the RV.

The dean was amazed.

He brought Ling Feng out of the RV.

Only to see that the newcomer was Gu Xiaohui.

"Senior Sister."

Ling Feng was both surprised and delighted.

"The Seven Great Star Systems Alliance intercepted important intelligence. Mengba has given a death order for Hou Laosan to kill you at all costs. I’ve been ordered to take you and Qin Qianyu to report to the sect in advance. You have one day to say goodbye to your family."

Gu Xiaohui said.

"The lady has come just in time."

The dean sighed.

"Hou Laosan is just an ordinary Qi Refining Realm cultivator, but his betrayal has caused massive losses to humanity. If you can kill him, you can directly get a drop of Five Elements Spirit Liquid. One drop of Five Elements Spirit Liquid is at least worth dozens of bottles of Primordial Potion."

Gu Xiaohui reminded.

"Dozens of bottles?"

Ling Feng was caught off guard; the dean just said only one bottle.

This is too excessive!

"With the young lady here, even if Hou Laosan is as daring as a bear, he wouldn’t dare show up."

The dean’s smile remained unchanged.

"What if he thinks I’m not here?"

Gu Xiaohui suddenly said.

Zhang Lingfeng and the other person had their expressions frozen.

"You are responsible for luring him out, and the dean and I will take care of killing him. After it’s done, we split the Five Elements Spirit Liquid equally."

Gu Xiaohui said.

In order to successfully establish a foundation, Origin Power is crucial. Even just one-third of a drop of the Five Elements Spirit Liquid could bring her unexpected assistance.

It’s important to know that exchanging for Young Master Fu only used two drops of the Five Elements Spirit Liquid.

"We are responsible for the killing and also have to ensure Zhang Lingfeng’s safety, which means we are putting in far more effort than Zhang Lingfeng. I suggest we divide the liquid into five parts, we take two parts each, and Zhang Lingfeng gets one."

The dean suggested.

"That works too..."

Gu Xiaohui thought for a moment and nodded.

"No, I don’t agree."

Zhang Lingfeng firmly refused. How could he watch others blatantly selling him out?

"This kid is a bit unruly."

The dean gestured to Gu Xiaohui not to worry, wrapping an arm around Zhang Lingfeng’s shoulder, intending to have a good talk.

Zhang Lingfeng was adamant in his refusal, curious to see what they would do next. Surely they wouldn’t just leave him here!

But just as he resolved to resist to the end!

The dean tossed the string of beads into the air, Divine Thought scattered forth, like seven sharp knives, shattering Gu Xiaohui’s balance of power. Gu Xiaohui sensed something was wrong and quickly retreated, simultaneously mobilizing Origin Power to counteract.

Unfortunately, it was a step too late.

The body exploded.

Transformed into a snow fox.

Turned into white mist, fleeing into the distance.

But was instantly ensnared by the Buddhist beads, streams of Divine Thought released from the beads, continuously breaking through the snow fox’s balance of power. In just a moment, the snow fox turned into a mummified corpse.

Zhang Lingfeng watched with wide eyes throughout the whole process.

The dean suddenly attacked Gu Xiaohui, revealing her true form, and he was petrified during this process.

"The Seven Great Star Systems Alliance has entrusted me to escort Zhang Lingfeng to the Star Gate. If a strong figure from the Star Gate had come personally to escort us, how could I have not received any message? A mere little fox demon dares to act mystically before me."

The dean sneered.

"How about I meet up with Brother Qianyu early on? There’s strength in numbers."

Zhang Lingfeng suggested.

He hadn’t expected Third Brother Hou to be so fierce, able to send someone masquerading as Gu Xiaohui. If it weren’t for the dean, he feared he wouldn’t have survived.

"Now, besides the Star Gate, only the Great Radiation Zone is the safest. There, the South Heaven Gate Array is in place; the Qin Family, Great Xia Kingdom, and even the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance won’t let you easily die at the hands of the Alien Race."

The dean changed his tone, speaking with utter conviction.

"Alright."

This time, Zhang Lingfeng truly believed him.

He immediately, along with Ku Xuanhe and the dean, took an airship from the provincial city to South City, arriving at Base No. 7.

Here, the Titan Laser Cannon is capable of killing demon god creatures.

Above is the coverage of the South Heaven Gate Array, and beside him, the dean and Ku Xuanhe, both Qi Refining Realm experts, are there for protection. As long as Zhang Lingfeng doesn’t recklessly go underground, he is unlikely to encounter danger.

"Although you have condensed Divine Thought, you haven’t yet learned the correct methods to use it. This Divine Thought Cultivation Secret Manual is a treasure of the Divine Sect, study it well."

The dean threw a Divine Thought Secret Manual to Zhang Lingfeng.

Zhang Lingfeng took it with both hands, couldn’t help but glance through a few pages, and then, thinking of something, he closed the book again and said to the dean, "Do you think I’m fit to be your apprentice?"

"Huh?"

"No, you’re not suitable, you are now a Star Gate disciple."

The dean was momentarily stunned, then promptly reminded.

Zhang Lingfeng was speechless and found a place to lie down and rest, placing the Divine Thought Secret Manual given by the dean under his head.

The dean and Ku Xuanhe closely monitored every move within Base No. 7, while continuously checking the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance for the latest updates here.

Zhang Lingfeng had just earned first place in the continental exam, restoring face for humans in the Divine Bull Country. If he were to die at the hands of Third Brother Hou, the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance would lose face completely.

The South Heaven Gate Array overhead would become worthless.

Thus, the safety factor of Base No. 7 surged upward.

Xuanjing Bureau, Martial Hall, personnel of the No. 1 Armed Team, successively arrived within a day. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

A vast network was also quietly unfolding.

Zhang Lingfeng lay on the bed, putting thoughts of danger behind him. With so many people protecting him, if Third Brother Hou could still take his life, he’d have no choice but to accept it.

Soon he drifted into slumber.

In his dream, he once again saw Gu Xiaohui controlling the seawater within the ocean, causing the currents to recede and form a vacuum area, lifting the seawater within a certain region.

Unknowingly, Water Source Power enveloped him like a blanket, wrapping around his body, allowing him to float in the air with the Water Source Power.

When his body returned to the bed.

The Water Source Power seeped into the underground Dark River, every whisper of the earth below became vivid and clear.

Bang!

A Catfish Demon attempted to break through the water surface, only to find the surface had become as hard as steel, ending up with a severe head injury.

Underwater, the Catfish Demon and other creatures were like being trapped in a cramped space, gradually suffocating.
