Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 172 The New Leader Who Rebels Against Heaven
When Fang Yuan went to contact the Anti-Heaven Organization, Thorn Rose took him to meet the Anti-Heaven Leader, Mei Xiaoxiao.

Upon learning that the Lonely King Volcano had been occupied, and the power of Lin Qiru's Heavenly Blade.

Within the anti-heaven organization, there were almost no dissenting voices.

Mei Xiaoxiao relinquished the leadership position to Lin Xiufei and demoted herself to deputy leader.

More and more members of the Anti-Heaven Organization are being transferred to Lone King Volcano to repair and rebuild the original base of the Heavenly Martial Group.

The name of Tianwei Lin Qiru resounded throughout the Dream Continent, so much so that many unorganized Tianwu warriors came to join him.

Although they did not know the location of the exit of Tianwu Realm, they firmly believed that the anti-heaven organization led by Lin Xiufeng and Tianwei would definitely be able to seize the exit of Tianwu Realm in the future.

As for those who want to join the Heavenly Martial Soul, there is no shortage of them; they just need to be assessed.

Now, many more people with the seventh level or above of the Heavenly Martial Soul are eagerly joining, and the basic joining requirement has been raised from the fourth level of the Heavenly Martial Soul to the fifth level.

The Anti-Heaven Organization's momentum is getting better and better.

The Anti-Heaven Organization, which had been growing rapidly because the Heaven-Turning Organization was essentially expelled, suddenly lost much of its power.

Almost everyone in the Dream Continent shares a common concept:
No one is strong before the might of Heaven!
Of the five great masters of the Dream Continent and the two great masters from the other world of the Heavenly Martial Group, the Great Commander of the Heavenly Realm is dead, and Zhao Zongshan has died.

The new Seven Great Masters now include Qin Yong, and he is no longer referred to as a super-powerful master from another world.

Lin Xiufeng's combat performance at the Lone King Volcano, as well as his brief encounter with Qin Yong, were also included.

It was a long-standing consensus in the Dream Continent that the peerless sword saint Zhao Youyue and Lin Xiufeng were of equal strength.

Thus, the seven masters are: Qin Yong from another world, Lin Xiufeng, leader of the anti-heaven faction, Zhao Youyue, the peerless sword saint, Mei Xiaoxiao, former leader of the anti-heaven faction, Xu Niming, leader of the anti-heaven faction, Zhong Shu, deputy leader of the anti-heaven faction, and Li Ziyou, the unorganized heavenly warrior.

Below the seven masters, there is another tier, including the Blood Hand Puppet and the Poisonous Snake Fang Yuan.

Although he was not ranked higher due to his martial prowess, many people considered him to be among the top in his class in terms of actual combat strength.

But in reality, their martial prowess was higher than what was known to the outside world.

Although Lin Xiufeng became the new leader, the vast majority of the original forces of the Anti-Heaven Organization still listened to the deputy leader, Mei Xiaoxiao.

The Heavenly Warriors who were not so valued in the past, as well as the newly joined unorganized Heavenly Warriors, came because they admired Tianwei and the leader of the Youlin Feiyue Group.

This force, led by Lin Xiufeng, paid no attention to Mei Xiaoxiao.

Mei Xiaoxiao and her original forces, the Tianfan organization, originally thought they could control the mutated fish in the volcano.

Unexpectedly, Fang Yuan, who emerged from the water in the form of Thor, wanted to show off his power, so he pretended to be a giant mutated beast that could be controlled by Lin Xiufeng.

Fang Yuan, disguised as Thor, deliberately drove out other giant mutated beasts from the water, revealing them one by one, making the members of the Overturning Heaven Organization even less daring to dream of anything.

Finally, Lin Xiufeng called out, "Everyone, go and rest!"

Fang Yuan, transformed into Thor, swam and circled in the seawater, driving the giant mutated beasts deeper into the ocean.

The members of the Heavenly Warriors of the Heavenly Overturning Organization, upon seeing this, assumed that all these mutated beasts were under Lin Xiufei's command. They were shocked and filled with awe.

With divine authority above and the power these forces demonstrate over the mutated fish population within the Lone King Volcano, the situation becomes even more complex.

The people in the anti-heaven organization also respected Lin Xiufei, and many of them genuinely regarded him as their leader.

After Fang Yuan finished her performance and returned, Lin Xiufeng couldn't help but ask in surprise:

"What's going on with those big guys?"

"They're not aggressive and are timid; Thor can easily scare them away." Fang Yuan's explanation made Lin Xiufeng chuckle.

"Then let them stay as a mere decoration. There's no need to kill them for now. Let them eat fish in the deep water."

Lin Xiufeng figured that once the mutated fish were under control, the situation would be stabilized.

As for the exit of the Heavenly Martial Realm, it will only be possible to set it up once there are more Heavenly Martial Realm supporters.

Otherwise, if the Heavenly Warriors in the Anti-Heaven faction were to swarm in and find their own way back to Tianlan Star, the situation would spiral out of control.

Thinking this way, Lin Xiufeng couldn't help but sigh:
"We used to think that the Tianwu Group controlled the export, but now we feel like the dragon-slaying boy has turned into the dragon."

Fang Yuan, unusually, couldn't help but laugh and said:

"If our positions change, we should do our jobs. Let's strive to manage things better than the Tianwu Group in the future."

"Yeah, trying to become a little evil dragon and replace the Tianwu Group would at least have some practical significance." Lin Xiufeng laughed self-deprecatingly.

Lin Qiru's voice suddenly came from inside:
"time to eat."

When Lin Xiufeng and Fang Yuan arrived at the restaurant, the dishes were already set on the table.

Seeing that Fang Yuan was there, the female martial artist who was helping Lin Qiru was not worried about disturbing him and accepted the invitation to sit down and eat together.

Fang Yuan was wary of this female martial artist because she was recommended by Mei Xiaoxiao, making her clearly an informant for the other side.

Lin Xiufeng deliberately left the person behind to follow Lin Qiru.

The female warrior was initially very excited, but then she discovered...

Lin Qiru didn't concern herself with anything and just lived a normal life. She collected some supplies that the Heavenly Martial Group had lost to the waves, as well as those in the underground vault. Lin Qiru cooked every day, and the female Heavenly Martial Warrior helped her.

It's so frustrating that a perfectly good eyeliner is constantly busy with these kinds of things.

Lin Xiufeng was very curious to see how long this person would endure before finally giving up and requesting a transfer elsewhere.

After Lin Qiru sat down, Fang Yuan raised his hand to tuck his hair behind his ear, a smile on his face.

A pair of peach blossom eyes watched Lin Xiufeng eat with a smile, and she couldn't help but feel that she had only recently truly gotten to know Lin Qiru.

In their previous interactions, Lin Qiru had clearly been deliberately pretending and restraining.

Fang Yuan expressed his deep admiration for this.

In the past, when they often acted together, what kind of perseverance and determination did Lin Qiru use to keep a secret?
Fang Yuan, while eating peanuts, couldn't help but ask her:

"I've been curious for a long time: you seem to care a lot about your hair, even when you're fighting, and you never tie it up. Why is that?"

Lin Qiru smiled and said, "Ask him."

"Why are you asking me?" Lin Xiufeng asked, still eating, completely bewildered.

"Have you forgotten? The first time we went to the amusement park, you said my hair didn't look as good when it was tied up, and you've said more than once since then that you like long hair."

When Lin Qiru mentioned it, Lin Xiufeng remembered that there was such a thing.

But it was just something I said casually back then...

Lin Xiufeng recalled that she hadn't seen her tie her hair up since then!
"Actually, what I meant was that it looks good with it tied up, but it looks better without it. You don't need to care so much."

Really?

Lin Qiru confirmed this very seriously.

"real!"

Lin Xiufeng confirmed this very seriously.

Lin Qiru tied her hair up and said with a smile, "It's more convenient to tie it up most of the time."

Fang Yuan didn't know what to say for a moment...

But he couldn't help but think of the Great Commander-in-Chief. If he were still alive, and knew the real reason why he was humiliated time and time again for protecting Lin Qiru's hair during their duel, what would he think?

Fang Yuan recalled that back in the water, Ren Xing had always been concerned about Lin Qiru having a lock of hair cut off in a sneak attack.

The answer is already clear: Lin Qiru was worried about Lin Xiufei's situation and was eager to find him, which led to her confusion due to her concern.

My initial concern was truly necessary.

The group ate and chatted.

Fang Yuan noticed that Lin Qiru's attention was almost entirely focused on Lin Xiufeng, which made him envious and even made him think:
What merit does Lin Xiufeng have to meet someone like Lin Qiru?

But Lin Xiufeng himself hadn't thought that way.

Because that's how Hsu Hsin-ying was back on Planet Blue!
For him, the way Hsu Hsin-ying interacted with him has never changed.

On the contrary, when she was pretending to be Lin Qiru, she was a completely different person.

After finishing their meal, Fang Yuan left, and the female martial artist gave them some peace and quiet.

Even if she doesn't leave, Lin Xiufeng will ask her to go back and rest.

Now that it was just the two of them, Lin Xiufeng, remembering how busy she'd been lately and how little time she'd had in the house, said:

"I've been busy lately, do you want to find something to do so you won't get bored?"

Lin Qiru smiled and comforted him, saying:

"It's nothing. The Tianwu Group moved some soil here and created a piece of land. There should be something there, but it was washed away by the water. I've been trying to repair it recently."

"If we can grow vegetables in the future, we will have many more kinds of food to eat."

"It's a pity that many micro-robots were destroyed by the Heavenly Martial Force shockwave, otherwise we could have obtained more data."

Lin Xiufeng said worriedly, "But there will be a lot of things to do in the near future. I won't be able to slack off. I have to get to know the Heavenly Warriors who are willing to get closer to me, and I also have to familiarize myself with the situation in many villages of the Anti-Heaven Organization."

Lin Qiru smiled and said, "It's okay. If I really feel bored, I'll come find you, stay by your side, and be with you. Just think of it as if you're working overtime."

"That makes so much sense!" Lin Xiufeng suddenly understood.

I was thinking that if we were on Tianlan Star, living in society, wouldn't it be like this?

Clearly, Lin Qiru had already figured it out.

"Alright! I'll take a nap then, and then go back to work!"
