The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 1081: Their Main Hideout

The Red Lotus world is one of the worlds inside the White Ring star cluster. The name is taken from the powerful ancient sect, the Red Lotus Sect.

Legend says that the overall strength of the sect could unite the entire world.

However, today, like many other powers throughout history that have already fallen, the only thing the Red Lotus sect left behind is its name and some of its legacy. The sect itself has been gone for a long time.

Some of the sect’s legacy is spread across the world, and some ancient ruins remain as the remnants of the sect. The proof of its existence and past glory is still there.

This is the world that has become the destination of Aldrian’s avatar and Ao Tianhai.

After visiting the Blue Pearl world and asking for help from the Alfemin family, Patriarch Geodard gladly helped him by lending him an interstellar vessel.

The avatar had already explained what happened in the Aster Empire and why he needed to visit the Red Lotus world. He also told them what he would do next.

Patriarch Geodard and Alric were surprised by what had happened in the Aster Empire and thought that those assassins were truly crazy. However, they were even more shocked by what Aldrian planned to do, yet they gave their support without hesitation.

They also saw it as a good situation for their family. After all, the threat from the assassins or even from the nobles of other worlds would stop.

The vessel, which had no identity and was different from the ones the Alfemin family usually used, landed in one of the cities of the Red Lotus world.

The city of Merkav was one of the big cities inside the territory of the Soaring Heaven sect, one of the strongest powers in this world. It was said that the Soaring Heaven sect possessed some of the Red Lotus sect’s legacy, which made them one of the powers that continued the legacy of the Red Lotus sect.

After the vessel landed and the hatch opened, three people got out from it. The avatar, Ao Tianhai, and Sir Alric, all of them using disguise techniques. In addition to that, they were wearing masks.

Why was Sir Alric here?

Because he wanted to help if the avatar needed another supporting hand, and because he wanted to see for himself the destruction of the group of assassins that had already become a group feared by all forces across the White Ring Star Cluster.

With the information he knew from the two assassins, the avatar knew the true location of the Underworld’s Feeder’s main hideout. That was also why he chose this city to land in, as this city was the closest city to the main hideout.

"Let’s go. It’s much better if we do not have to wait any longer. Time is essence here. The faster we finish this, the better," the avatar said, which was answered with a nod from Alric.

They then flew away from the city toward the mountain range in the distance. The mountain range in the distance was quite famous in this region, the Beasts Mountain Range.

The mountain range was full of strong spiritual beasts, to the point that even peak pseudo immortal cultivators would hesitate to enter it.

After flying for almost a minute, they neared the mountain range and the avatar stopped. He observed the mountain range for a moment before he looked at one of the mountain peaks in the distance.

"The true main hideout of the Underworld’s Feeder is in that mountain. I will use my concealment technique on all of us so we can approach undetected, even by peak pseudo immortal cultivators. Stay close to me until we reach our main targets."

After that, he used combination of darkness laws and death laws. A black aura appeared for a moment, surrounding them before it disappeared. At that moment, Alric felt a chill in his soul while Ao Tianhai was surprised.

Alric felt a sensation that he had never felt before, a sensation that death seemed to be approaching his soul. The death that was encroaching upon his being made it feel as if he was about to fall into the underworld.

As for Ao Tianhai, he was surprised that Aldrian could actually comprehend death laws.

With this, he confirmed that the heavenly laws, or any laws that restrained mortals, did not apply to Aldrian.

The fact that Aldrian could comprehend a law that could only be comprehended by divine beings, together with the things that he had already seen all this time from Aldrian, was already enough proof that he was a being who was not tied to the heavenly laws.

A special being whom the heavens made an exception for, even in his mortal form.

Once again, Ao Tianhai felt truly honored to be able to stand beside a being like Aldrian and help in his journey to return to the highest heaven. His reverence and worship for him deepened.

They flew toward one of the mountain slopes, and while they flew, they could sense many powerful spiritual beasts, with most of them at Immortal Transition Realm. From land beasts to avian beasts.

The number could reach hundreds, which was a baffling number for Alric.

If this number of spiritual beasts decided to attack the city, it would surely cause great devastation. And they had still not flown deep into the mountain range, so how many spiritual beasts were there, and how strong were they?

They finally arrived at the side of the mountain that the avatar had mentioned. From their view, there was nothing there except a normal barren mountain slope. But the avatar said to Ao Tianhai and Alric,

"Follow my descending pattern. We are about to enter a formation that protects the true hideout. We have to use this pattern to enter the hideout without alerting all the assassins inside."

Alric nodded, and the avatar started to descend. He did not descend straight, but instead descended with a few turns before he finally touched the mountain slope.

The moment he touched the mountain slope, the sight in front of him suddenly became distorted, and a moment later, a small gap appeared.

The gap, which was the entrance to the hideout, was not big, only enough for two people to walk side by side.

Alric, who watched it, was astonished. To think that the hideout would be in a place like this, and moreover protected by a formation that even he could not sense.

But then it was only natural for an assassin group as famous as Underworld’s Feeder to make their hideout in one of the most dangerous places like this. Many people would not recklessly check this region.

With a profound formation also protecting it, finding this place would be much more difficult.

They then entered without anyone saying anything.

"There are some traps along the way, so be careful. I will tell you where the traps are later," the avatar said through voice transmission to Ao Tianhai and Alric.

They kept walking deeper, and the avatar told them where they could step or where the traps were located throughout their walk.

As they continued walking deeper, the path also became wider, and not long after they reached a vast space where they could see various buildings standing.

There was only limited light here, with only some places illuminated by illumination crystals.

Alric raised his eyebrows.

’To think that inside the mountain those assassins could build this kind of place.’

The space was quite vast, which in Alric’s estimation could contain thousands of people.

There were even some towering buildings that were truly conspicuous compared to the majority of the buildings here.

Those buildings were important places for all of the assassins here, as they served various purposes such as training places, artifact storage, and also the place where the leader stayed.

The avatar without hesitation, flew toward one of the towers located furthest from their position. Ao Tianhai and Alric followed closely.

As they flew past many structures, they could see many assassins doing their own activities. Some were cultivating, some were training, and some were sharpening their weapons.

The average cultivation of the assassins here was actually Immortal Transition Realm, and from the observation Alric made while flying toward the tower, the number of assassins could reach thousands.

His expression turned solemn.

He was not too surprised because this was their main hideout, so it made sense that many strong assassins gathered here.

But just how many assassins did they have in total, and how strong were they, if the branches they must have spread across the White Ring Star Cluster were also included?

With these numbers and strength, and their success rate, it was no wonder that this assassin group had become the most feared assassin group in the White Ring Star Cluster.

With such a wide network, this assassin group would be difficult to erase entirely.

Just as the avatar said, there was no one who could sense them even though they flew right above many of the assassins until they finally reached the furthest tower.

From the memories the avatar saw from those two dead assassins, this place was where the master of the Underworld’s Feeder spent most of his time.

The tower had a single entrance without a door, and they could enter without much problem.

The avatar walked along the hallway, passing several rooms where he could sense strong aura inside.

They were the guardians of the master.

He ignored them and kept walking until he reached the stairs.

However, even before he could take a step onto the stairs, someone walked down from them, and that figure looked directly at the avatar.
