Chapter 1714: Chapter 1748: Lin Zifeng Reaches the Ninth Layer Heaven, Dares to Challenge the Saints

"Tonight, I want you all to go to the Shangguan Family again. This time, I want you to create as much chaos as possible," Lin Zifeng said, looking up.

Everyone exchanged glances.

"I know you don’t understand what I mean. This time, I don’t want you to kill a lot of Shangguan people. The best result would be to turn the Shangguan Family upside down and force Shangguan Chong to come out."

"Brother Lin, why not just kill Shangguan Chong directly?" Black Hawk was puzzled. Considering the strength of the South Heavenly Gate, killing Shangguan Chong shouldn’t be a problem if they really took action.

"It’s not the right time to kill him now. What I want is to throw the entire Shangguan Family into chaos and panic. This way, the Shangguan Family won’t pose any threat to our South Heavenly Gate."

Lin Zifeng was considering many things. He wanted to turn the Shangguan Family into a puppet. As long as they became a puppet of the South Heavenly Gate, then the Nolan and Ouyang families would naturally become puppets as well.

When even the Shangguan Family falls into panic, the Nolan and Ouyang families will inevitably be so frightened that they won’t dare harbor any ill intentions toward Lin Zifeng’s Huayu Group.

"Alright! Then let’s take action now!"

"Haha... It’s been days since this monk enjoyed a feast. It seems I’ll be having a big meal tonight," Shuobude shouted excitedly.

The others’ eyes also revealed strong fighting spirits, and Lin Zifeng nodded, very satisfied with this inspired ambiance within the organization.

"So what are we waiting for? Brother Lin, let’s take action now." Black Hawk couldn’t contain his excitement either.

"Go ahead," Lin Zifeng nodded.

Soon, under the leadership of Black Hawk and Bu Chen, Hidden Kill, Ming Zhan, and the Shadow Group, totaling more than three hundred people, headed mightily towards the Shangguan Family.

Meanwhile, Lin Zifeng stayed alone at the headquarters of the South Heavenly Gate.

He believed that tonight would definitely be another sleepless night...

In the secret chamber, Lin Zifeng took out the Heavenly Painting Halberd and the Magic Bracelet, placing them in front of him.

The Heavenly Painting Halberd, known as the supreme killing weapon, grew more terrifying as his strength increased.

The Magic Bracelet’s capabilities were even more formidable. Now he had already broken through to the Sub-Saint Realm, his strength within the First Layer Heaven.

The barrier he formed was more substantial than that of a regular Sub-Saint.

With bare hands, he could defeat those at the Fourth Layer Heaven and even combat the Fifth Layer Heaven. With the Magic Bracelet and the Heavenly Painting Halberd, his combat power was almost comparable to the existence of the Eighth Layer Heaven. In other words, in the whole world, there were very few who could suppress him, unless some old undying appeared. He wasn’t yet strong enough to confront someone of Liu Jiuhuang’s caliber unless his realm advanced further.

"With my current strength, if I reach the Ninth Layer of the Sub-Saint Heaven, even a Saint might find it hard to oppose me, wouldn’t they?" Lin Zifeng thought to himself.

A First Layer Heaven realm equated to an Eighth Layer Heaven combat power. If he reached the Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, or Ninth Layer Heaven, unless a Saint emerged, who would dare oppose him?

"Buzz...buzz...buzz..."

At this moment, the Magic Bracelet suddenly started to hover, and as Lin Zifeng absorbed its energy with all his might, it seemed to possess spirituality, floating in mid-air, green light piercing the sky, emitting a dazzling Divine Rainbow.

Inexhaustible Primordial Energy surged like tides, converging towards Lin Zifeng’s direction. Unable to absorb too much, eventually, a large portion of the energy was wasted.

"I have enough energy, but something is still missing," Lin Zifeng shook his head. Seeking another breakthrough in a short period was extremely difficult. The more he advanced to the Sub-Saint Realm, he needed more than just abundant energy; comprehension and opportunities were needed more.

Only experiencing endless life-and-death battles, seeking the burst of potential at the edge of life and death, could accelerate his upgrading, but if he pursued a breakthrough in life and death and failed, the consequence would be dire...

Thinking of this, Lin Zifeng decided to focus his goal on the Dark Prison; he seized the Holy Weapon just to take a look at the Dark Prison.

Jia Zhenjing and the others had escaped from the Dark Prison. With his current ability, he should be able to venture into the Dark Prison now...

......

In the dead of night, the Shangguan Family was engulfed in earth-shaking slaughter. Originally, they thought Lin Zifeng would perish at Kunling Mountain, but unexpectedly, the South Heavenly Gate attacked the Shangguan Family again at night, almost breaking Shangguan Chong’s last thread of tension.

He wanted to seek help from the Holy Daughter of the Taishang Sect, but even she was injured. Now he was completely alone; those old undying ones deep in the family cared only about their cultivation, disinterested in the family’s rise and fall.

After a night of slaughter, Shangguan Chong’s mind was on the verge of collapse.

The next day, upon hearing what happened to the Shangguan Family, both the Nolan Family and the Ouyang Family fell into panic. They didn’t know if the South Heavenly Gate’s next target would be their families.

As a result, after returning to their families, the Nolan Emperor and Ouyang Tian were restless, constantly on guard against a night raid from the South Heavenly Gate...

Soon, Beiming Yu also learned of the matter, and on the same day, personally invited Lin Zifeng to visit the Beiming Mansion.

As Lin Zifeng stepped foot into the Beiming Mansion, he distinctly felt a great power lurking deep within the mansion.

"No wonder the Beiming Family managed to make other families feel dread in just a few decades; there is a reason," Lin Zifeng shook his head and smiled as he stepped into the Beiming Mansion.

Soon, in a garden deep in the Beiming Mansion, Beiming Yu set up a tea ceremony, waiting for Lin Zifeng’s arrival.

Looking from afar, Lin Zifeng saw Beiming Yu tasting tea in a pavilion with a serious demeanor.

"I bet that tea doesn’t taste that good," Lin Zifeng mumbled as he walked forward.

Nevertheless, he continued walking towards her.

"Congratulations, Young Master Lin, on obtaining the supreme holy weapon. In the future, I’m afraid there will be very few who can match you,"

Just as Lin Zifeng approached, Beiming Yu suddenly stood up and bluntly mentioned Lin Zifeng obtaining the Heavenly Painting Halberd, causing Lin Zifeng’s brows to instinctively crease, a fleeting murderous look in his eyes.

"Oh? I wonder how my sister, Beiming, knows about this?" Lin Zifeng gazed at her with a smile, maintaining a certain distance. Though uncertain of how powerful Beiming Yu was, he was sure that her family harbored significant power at least.

Though strong individuals converged during the treasure hunt at Kunling Mountain, even those unknown masters were unaware of Lin Zifeng obtaining the holy weapon. But Beiming Yu accurately spoke of his acquisition, which made Lin Zifeng cautious.

He didn’t want the affair of the holy weapon spread to outsiders, for it would only plunge him into endless troubles.

Obtaining was easy, but was he afraid of not being able to keep it...

"You caused a great stir at Kunling Mountain, sweeping across the Eight Desolates, how could you think to keep it from others?" Beiming Yu gently lowered her teacup, a stunning smile, charmingly beautiful. Previously, Lin Zifeng never noticed. Now, well, her attitude towards him took a complete turn, it seems that possessing strength makes people respect you more...
