Qingzhou City.
On the very night when Feng Zhichen arrived.
A group of extremely secretive individuals quietly made their way into Qingzhou City.
"Indeed, Feng Zhichen has come to Qingzhou City, and now this old man is residing in the Martial Arts Association."
Leading this group was a middle-aged man around his thirties or forties.
His square-shaped face appeared very honest, but the bleak glint in his eyes added a hint of gloominess to him.
Chi Yu Xing Hen.
From the Chiyu Imperial Clan, bearing the surname of the Chi Yu clan.
Had it not been for the internal power struggles of the Chi Yu clan implicating him, he would never have come to Blue Star, becoming a disguised infiltrator.
It should be known, to the Mysterious races of the heavens, Blue Star is different from other alien races.
In this cosmos, the law of the jungle prevails, with nearly all races relying on plundering and conquering to sustain their existence, survival of the fittest is the natural order.
Compared to this, Blue Star, which suddenly appeared in the cosmos back then, was quite bizarre.
They actually disliked external expansion, preferring instead to focus on internal development.
From spring cultivation and autumn harvest, weaving and fishing, to the later peaceful advancement of technology.
In a mere hundred years or so, Blue Star's rate of progress nearly surpassed a millennium of development of any other race.
How could these alien races have imagined there was such a way of existence other than plundering?
It was simply impossible for them to settle down and focus on internal development, given their deeply ingrained survival methods... thusly... Blue Star became a coveted target in the eyes of the Mysterious races of the heavens.
All wanted to incorporate Blue Star as a colonial star of their own.
By then, they would gain not only a colonial star but also a group of immensely industrious slaves, thus incorporating all of Blue Star's achievements under their command.
Internal development, external conquest, both internal and external advantages, without worry of failing to become the cosmos's overlord?
Besides having wings growing on their backs, the Chi Yu Race are incredibly rare among the Mysterious races of the heavens to bear an extremely similar semblance and appearance to humans.
This was a rare advantage.
Over the years...
The Chi Yu Race naturally inserted many spies within Blue Star.
Their task was to cause accidental deaths of those outstanding Martial Artists internally, in order to diminish Blue Star's power.
And now, their gaze turned to Feng Zhichen; this old man had trained countless capable and battle-ready soldiers for the Polar Star Battlefield, and it was fair to say that because of him, the various races didn't know how many had perished.
If they could kill him, firstly, a major threat to the Mysterious races of the heavens would be removed; secondly, it would serve as a warning, discouraging those influenced by Feng Zhichen to actively support the Polar Star Battlefield Martial Artists.
Unfortunately...
Feng Zhichen was not easy to deal with; they had plotted for a long time but never found the opportunity to strike.
In the hostel.
One of the Chi Yu Race members lamented, "Damn, who would've thought that the Martial Arts Association would be so enthusiastic, arranging everything for Feng Zhichen right away. In the Imperial Capital, he has military protection, outside, there's the Martial Arts Association following him, plus he himself is an extremely strong Martial Artist. Trying to kill him is likely not to have a good opportunity, even a slight mistake and we might die at his hands ourselves. Our death is negligible, but once it is exposed that our race has infiltrated Blue Star, then it would truly be an unforgivable crime."
Saying this, he couldn't help but instinctively touch his back.
There once resided a pair of crimson wings.
Now, they were severed...
For the Chi Yu Race, this was the utmost disgrace, inflicted only on those who commit unforgivable crimes such as rape, annihilation of families, or kidnapping children, sentenced to Execution by Owl Wing.
Yet, for the future of the Chi Yu Clan, they had already sacrificed so much.
Moreover, over the years, acting cautiously, any crisis of exposure would immediately lead to a decisive self-destruction, leaving no corpse... till now, Blue Star merely believed that some traitors who sided with the Mysterious races of the heavens were causing chaos on Blue Star, never realizing it was indeed the Chi Yu Race that had stealthily infiltrated Blue Star.
"But now, with such a good opportunity, if we don't act, it'll be nearly impossible to kill Feng Zhichen in the future."
Chi Yu Xing Hen closed his eyes, displaying an unwilling expression on his face.
In his mind, the mournful cries of his son seemed to resurface... who could have imagined that those soldiers on the battlefield suddenly mastered such devastatingly powerful Martial Skills, greatly enhancing their close combat capabilities, catching them off guard, with the Chi Yu clan bearing the brunt of it, suffering heavy casualties.
His son was among them.
Later, he came to know that it was unexpectedly Feng Zhichen, the founder of the Wind Fist Style, who suddenly donated all his Martial Skills to the military without reservation.
Thus, the Baoyan Army emerged, and that battle marked the debut of the Baoyan Army.
Feng Zhichen, truly the chief culprit.
Whether publicly or privately, he poses a great threat and must be removed.
"No way!"
Chi Yu Xing Hen took a deep breath and said, "Our mission is to quietly eliminate those martial artists with outstanding aptitude in the rear. Although Feng Zhichen is not young, he has been striving to improve his martial skills, and these martial skills are the greatest weapon of the Blue Star people against us. Killing Feng Zhichen is like cutting off an arm of the Polar Star Battlefield; such a good opportunity shouldn't be missed!"
He took a deep breath and said, "Since Feng Zhichen has come here and didn't go through official channels, there must be personal matters for him. Since it's personal, there will definitely be times when he doesn't want those Martial Arts Association people following him. Be cautious, prioritize not exposing yourself, find out his purpose and the places he frequently visits... Maybe there's still a chance... Shang Youya."
"I am here."
A woman knelt respectfully on the ground.
"I'm entrusting this matter to you. Clarify the opponent's purpose and see if there's a chance for us to exploit it!"
"Yes!"
Shang Youya responded respectfully.
Chi Yu Xing Hen looked up at the slowly rising morning sun outside the window... A trace of gloom appeared in his eyes.
He said coldly, "Hurry up and dawn, because only when the day breaks can certain people's darkness come more quickly. Feng Zhichen, since you are a martial artist, you should honestly use your martial skills to earn money and seek power. Since you want to do what you cannot accomplish, you are destined to pay a price you cannot bear!"
Xu Family.
Wang Qingya was still soundly asleep in her bed.
On a rare weekend, plus her low blood sugar, Wang Qingya usually doesn't get up until ten o'clock. There's no helping it, she has a little brother now and needs to feed him first.
Otherwise, she might sleep until the afternoon.
But just as she was deep in slumber.
The door was suddenly slammed open.
Due to female instinct, Wang Qingya hurriedly covered herself with the quilt before she was fully awake, and exclaimed, "Who is it?"
"Sister Yaya, I did it! I really did it!!!"
Amidst excited cheers, Xu Lingjun rushed in like a gust of wind, shouting at the wary Wang Qingya, who was covering her chest with her hands, "Look, Sister Yaya, I did it. I really did it."
Seeing that it was Xu Lingjun.
Wang Qingya slightly relaxed a bit.
The hand placed in front of her chest lowered slightly, then quickly covered up when she realized something.
She glanced speechlessly at the thing in Xu Lingjun's hand and asked, "What's different about it compared to before?"
"Of course it's different, it has already..."
Xu Lingjun stopped halfway through his sentence.
His gaze scanned the mecha in his hand.
[Detected false item Assault Freedom Mecha, would you like to bestow it with true essence? This will consume 2700 points of Source Value!]
This information suddenly became accessible when he woke up this morning.
Even though he himself didn't know what happened, it confirmed one thing...
His guess was correct.
He truly could create objects imbued with true essence, and in this way, those mystical items that existed only in legends or stories could be manifested by him?
Although there were still many doubts.
Why is it that for the same item, Frost's Sorrow still hasn't prompted...
But having one success is enough, as long as one succeeds, it proves the feasibility of this matter. Figuring out the pattern won't be hard.
That's why he ran excitedly to find Sister Yaya to share the joy in his heart.
But now that he calmed down, he suddenly realized it seemed inconvenient to tell her...
Xu Lingjun paused and said, "Sister Yaya, see this mecha, look at these lines, look at the craftsmanship, isn't it super exquisite?"
"This thing's been in your room for half a month, right? How long is your reaction time to just now notice the thing's exquisite?"
Wang Qingya smirked, staring at Xu Lingjun with a quirky look, and said, "Or is it that your meaning lies elsewhere? True, I am not wearing under~wear, but since I'm wearing pajamas, aren't you a bit disappointed? Didn't I tell you? If you want to take advantage of me, at least wait until after you're eighteen, I don't want to eat young chickens."
"Sister Yaya, you misunderstood..."
Xu Lingjun's gaze instinctively fell to Wang Qingya's smooth, fragrant shoulder.
The silk nightgown had quite poor light-blocking ability... Strange, when she slept with me last time, it didn't seem to be this one. It seems she knows this one's exposure level is a bit high.
"Get out."
Wang Qingya said softly, lips parting lightly.
"Alright."
Xu Lingjun quickly exited.
