Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 244 White Face
Faced with the astonishment and whispers of both families and friends, Lin Qiru paused, then mustered her courage and continued:

"I came back to Tianlan Star to visit relatives this time, but because of my status as a wanted criminal, I have to keep a low profile. The wedding cannot be held."

"Having a meal with relatives and friends before parting is also considered a breach of promise."

"The people from the Heavenly Martial Group are waiting for me, so I have to leave early."

"I hope everyone will not follow my example. Once you make a wrong move, it will be too late to regret it."

"Have a good meal, everyone. I'll come back to visit you again next time I have the chance."

Someone shouted, "Revenge is the only right thing to do!"

"Zhao Zongshan deserves to die!"

"Without his evil deeds, his wife wouldn't have been implicated!"

"What did you do wrong? Zhao Zongshan was exempted from punishment for harming people due to the privileges of martial artists, so why are you not allowed to go unpunished for killing an ordinary person?"

"Are the lives of the Tianwu Group's family members more precious than ours, huh?!"

Lin Qiru had considered that she might be looked down upon, but she also considered that she might be met with polite silence.

But at this moment, she is facing the indignation and support of her relatives and friends, who are acting from her perspective.

Lin Qiru said with emotion, "Thank you for your support and understanding, my family and friends!"

When Lin Qiru came out, her parents followed her.

"Xiaoying! Where are you going—"

Lin Xiufeng quickly comforted them, saying:

"It's okay, it's okay! Xiaoying and I just can't stay here any longer, let's go home first."

Lin Qiru comforted her parents, and they were finally at ease.

Zhao Youyue looked at Lin Qiru who was approaching and said resentfully:

"What a thick skin! So this is what shamelessness is!"

Lin Qiru didn't want to talk to Zhao Youyue. She felt there was nothing to say and just wanted to compose herself and savor the gratitude she felt for the support from her family and friends.

Lin Xiufeng said irritably:

“You are not ashamed of the murderer and repeat murderer Zhao Zongshan, nor are you ashamed of your father who harmed people, yet you have the nerve to call others shameless.”

"You truly are worthy of being your parents' daughter, and worthy of being raised by Zhao Zongshan. Your values ​​are so aligned with theirs!"

A martial artist in the elevator angrily shouted:
"You brat, how dare you humiliate Brother Zhao! Do you know how many great contributions Brother Zhao has made to the Tianwu Group!"

"Do you know how many people he saved with his wisdom and courage?"

"Do you think you, a mere young punk, have the right to comment?"

Lin Xiufeng retorted irritably, asking him:
"If someone as great as Zhao Zongshan killed your mother, you'd probably have to kneel down and thank him for his grace, right?"

Zhao Youyue angrily said, "Lin Xiufeng!"

Just then, a person came up the stairs and shouted, "What's going on?"

Zhao Youyue's expression changed slightly when she saw the man approaching, and she said angrily:

"So you were just using us as pawns! You kept saying you were heartbroken over my uncle's death, but you were just using us as a stepping stone, letting us play the bad cop!"

The man looked at Zhao Youyue helplessly and advised:

"You should learn from your uncle; he never puts personal matters above public ones. You can leave now!"

Zhao Youyue was furious, but these words always had a special power to hurt her.

When someone says this, it means that she is not as mature as her uncle expected.

Zhao Youyue said nothing, watching the elevator doors slowly close...

Lin Xiufeng sized up the man. He was in his thirties, looked stern and unsmiling, and had neither a rich expression nor much emotion.

"Let's talk somewhere else." The man said, leading the way up the stairs, randomly finding a private room, telling the humanoid robot waiter not to disturb them, closing the door and sitting down.

After the man sat down, he immediately said:
"You're in too much of a hurry."

Lin Xiufeng understood and smiled.

"Yeah, if we had known you'd be the one to play the bad cop, we wouldn't have needed to do anything. We could have just waited for you to step in and get rid of Zhao Youyue."

"Since you're the good cop, of course you won't help us for nothing."

"Although you haven't been able to help much right now, you must still have other leverage."

"So tell me, what can you give us, and what do you need us to do?"

Lin Qiru didn't say anything, but simply held Lin Xiufei's arm and sat there quietly.

The man didn't even introduce himself, nor did he respond to Lin Xiufeng's words; he simply nodded expressionlessly.

"I heard you're a straightforward negotiator, so they assigned me here. It seems our communication will be very efficient."

"You're not interested in our names either, so just call me Whiteface today."

"First, let me tell you what I can offer you. You can make your demands as needed. Xu Xinying's status as a wanted criminal can be removed after the deed is done."

"And then tell me what I need you to do."

"First, I need to let you know something."

“Starting from the year you entered the Heavenly Martial Realm, the First Otherworld and the Second Otherworld suddenly connected.”

Lin Xiufeng and Lin Qiru both looked astonished... What does it mean that it's connected?
Their surprise was entirely within this man's expectations.

Before they could ask, the pale-faced man continued:
"Literally, it means connection. A white light band of Heavenly Martial Realm appears at the boundary. Passing through the white light band leads to another world."

"The connection has been ongoing, with one more other world becoming part of the larger other world every year."

"Currently, seven other worlds at the Heavenly Martial Realm level have been connected."

The unexpected turn of events that Lin Xiufeng had been wondering about has now been answered.

This is the unexpected turn of events that prompted Tianlanxing to expedite the conclusion of the management treaty.

The connection between the seven different worlds means that the three major organizations in the seven different worlds can exchange resources and even cooperate sincerely.

The situation in the new, alien world will change drastically.

The most direct consequence is that controlling the exit from the Heavenly Martial Realm has become significantly more difficult.

It seems that the seven different worlds' martial arts groups can also cooperate.

The problem is that the number of exits from Tianwu Realm means that the defensive forces are dispersed.

However, the three major organizations in the seven other worlds can concentrate their forces to attack the defensive forces at any time at the exit of a certain Heavenly Martial Realm.

As the number of connections to other worlds increases, the Tianwu Group, which controls the exits, will find it increasingly difficult to maintain its defenses.

The pale-faced man continued:
"As you guessed, the Heavenly Blade Force of the Heavenly Martial Clan was unable to be deployed to the Dream Continent to deal with you because it was busy guarding the exit of the Heavenly Martial Realm."

"At this stage, the Tianwu Group is still able to maintain its position thanks to its advantage in combat power at the Tiandao level."

"But it is clear that in a few years, when the absolute advantage of the Heavenly Blade level no longer exists, the exit of the Heavenly Martial Realm will inevitably be lost."

"The uncontrolled return of the three major organizations to Tianlan Star is a catastrophe for all humanity on Tianlan Star."

Lin Xiufeng wondered what he could do.
The management treaty of Dream Continent was used as a test subject, and the results did not require Lin Xiufeng to do anything special.

We can't exactly have them become assassins, can we?

The pale-faced man continued:
"Heavenly Blade-level power is precious, but the Shattering Star Technique you possess is even more unique."

"In the current situation, we need Xu Xinying's Heavenly Blade power to pave the way, and then your Shattering Star Technique to eliminate the enemies in the Great Otherworld who have a significant impact on the situation."

Lin Xiufeng laughed. They really did want them to be assassins!
