CHAPTER 952: CHAPTER 481: STAR EYES (PART 2)

"You?"

Firefly Fairy hesitated a bit, knowing Fang Zhixing had extraordinary talent, but he hadn’t fully matured yet and shouldn’t risk himself.

Fang Zhixing smiled and said, "Miss, don’t worry. Though I come from a loose cultivator background, I have plenty of skills to protect myself.

Besides, Sect Master Zou gave me many gifts before, and it’s time to return the favor."

Firefly Fairy nodded lightly and said, "Be careful then."

Fang Zhixing left freely, and Gu Xiaoxiao also rushed out, catching up with Zou Yunxiang.

They, along with a group of Xiafei Sect attendants, boarded the interstellar teleportation formation, first transported to "Purple Ganoderma Star," then flew to an interstellar station, and later transported to "Valley Sea Star," finally arriving at "Yingfei Star."

The journey was rough, and by the time they arrived at Yingfei Star, several hours had already passed.

At this moment, outside the atmosphere of Yingfei Star, it was deathly silent.

The battle was over, unknown when it had ended.

Chunks of flesh floated in the void, filled with a scorched smell.

Shattered meteorites drifted aimlessly, stained with blood.

Fang Zhixing glanced around but couldn’t find a complete corpse.

"Where’s my father?" Zou Yunxiang’s face turned pale, his heart sinking.

Fang Zhixing paused for a moment, then shook his body.

In an instant, the remaining bloodstains in the void were drawn together, absorbed into his body.

Fragmented memory pieces, from different individuals, flooded Fang Zhixing’s mind.

He saw some blurred visions.

"Who are you?"

A lower immortal from Xiafei Sect, gravely injured and near death, screamed in terror.

A vague silhouette appeared in the shaking vision, seemingly masked, surrounded by mist.

Clearly, the opponent had disguised their appearance, without revealing any identity.

The scene shifted!

Fang Zhixing saw another person’s memory fragment.

Fortunately, this person was an assassin!

The image flashed quickly, showing a sword light suddenly striking the assassin, blood splattering.

"Indeed worthy of being a sect master, despite being afflicted by the ’Polluted Blood Tribulation,’ still managed to heavily wound me with one strike."

The assassin clutched his chest, startled.

The scene abruptly ended.

Afterwards, there were no more scenes; the other memory fragments were too blurry to extract any useful information.

"Polluted Blood Tribulation..."

Fang Zhixing thought, then looked at the others, asking, "Did you find any clues?"

Zou Yunxiang and the others exchanged glances, looking anxious, evidently discovering nothing.

Seeing this, Fang Zhixing calmly said, "Things have come to this point, worrying is useless. Zou Gongzi, I need to return to the White Light Immortal Palace, what about you?"

Zou Yunxiang promptly replied, "I will go back to the Xiafei Sect and see; perhaps my father survived."

Fang Zhixing nodded and bid farewell with a salute.

He first descended to the surface of Yingfei Star, boarded the interstellar teleportation formation, transported to Valley Sea Star, then flew to outer space, heading to an interstellar station.

As he flew...

Fang Zhixing suddenly stopped, turned around, and said indifferently, "Why are you two following me?"

In the dark space, two vague figures slowly emerged, standing side-by-side, both cloaked in black, surrounded by mist.

"You’re Fang Zhixing, right?" The figure on the left spoke sinisterly.

Fang Zhixing’s eyebrows twitched slightly.

Although his reputation spread widely due to White Light Palace Master’s vigorous promotion, his appearance remained unknown.

For instance, Du Wan had never paid attention to Fang Zhixing because she didn’t know him at all.

Fang Zhixing touched his cheek, clicked his tongue, and said, "You first assassinated Zou Zaiqing, then set your sights on me. So I’m also one of your assassination targets?"

The figure sneered and said, "You indeed are our next target. We were originally worried, thinking about how to lure you out of the Immortal Palace, but you came out by yourself, even went to Yingfei Star."

Fang Zhixing was momentarily speechless and clicked his tongue: "Some killers like to return to the crime scene, how odd to encounter two peculiar ones today."

The two shadows exchanged glances, unabashedly releasing an intense killing intent.

In the next instant!

Fang Zhixing suddenly vanished from his spot.

The view before the two shadows blurred, and their bodies stiffened on the spot.

Just as they were about to act, they suddenly noticed two headless bodies not far away, still cloaked in black.

"That is..."

The two widened their eyes, a chill running down their spines.

Fang Zhixing raised both hands, each holding a bloody head.

"Mere Lower Immortals, where do you get the confidence to think you can kill me?" Fang Zhixing sneered with disdain.

With a little force, the two heads were instantly crushed.

With a wave of his hand, Fang Zhixing destroyed the two bodies, and devoured their blood.

"Polluted Blood Sect?"

From their memory, it was learned that the two were originally Loose Cultivators in the Reincarnation Realm, with no sect affiliation.

Later, they joined a mysterious cult, receiving the cult’s bestowed "Holy Blood," and their cultivation rapidly soared after that.

These two killers advanced from the Reincarnation Realm to the Fate Realm in only eighty years.

And that’s not all, they carried the cult’s distributed powerful weapon "Polluted Blood," harboring a terrifying calamity capable of threatening Upper Immortal experts.

Fang Zhixing seized two Storage Bags, broke the mental imprints on them, and quickly opened the bags.

Before long, he patted the bags, and with a flash of light, two black bottles appeared.

Fang Zhixing opened the caps, and immediately a strong stench wafted out, filthy and nauseating.

He glanced inside the bottles, his expression changing involuntarily.

The bottles contained a type of black blood, vicious and ominous, emitting an extremely dangerous calamity aura.

"This Polluted Blood, at least Earth Tribulation level..."

Fang Zhixing’s expression changed several times.

The memory fragment he saw earlier, Zou Zaiqing fell victim to this Polluted Blood.

"I fear he’s in grave danger."

Fang Zhixing hesitated no longer, unfurling Free Blood Wings, swiftly flew to the Interstellar Station.

After several consecutive transports, he successfully returned to the White Light Immortal Palace, directly meeting the Palace Master.

"Brother, you have returned."

The White Light Palace Master was hosting a meeting, summoning several protectors, devotees, and adopted sons like Qi Renhai.

Firefly Fairy was also present, she asked: "How’s the situation on Yingfei Star?"

Fang Zhixing replied: "By the time Zou Yunxiang and I arrived, everything was over, Zou Zaiqing Sect Master was neither found alive nor dead."

The White Light Palace Master nodded: "I just received word from Xiafei Sect, Zou Zaiqing is missing and hasn’t returned, his fate unknown."

Fang Zhixing remained silent for a moment, then asked: "A person as important as Zou Zaiqing should have left behind something like a Soul Tablet, right? If he died outside, the Soul Tablet would shatter, wouldn’t it?"

The White Light Palace Master chuckled, meaningfully said: "When Zou Zaiqing was attacked, the Soul Tablet hall of Xiafei Sect burst into flames, all Soul Tablets destroyed."

Fang Zhixing remarked speechlessly: "A fine internal and external collusion, seems Zou Zaiqing is doomed."

Upon hearing this, the White Light Palace Master sensitively noticed something, excitedly asked: "Brother, have you discovered any clues?"

"Have you seen this Polluted Blood before, Elder Brother?" Fang Zhixing raised his hand, offering two black bottles, giving one each to the White Light Palace Master and Firefly Fairy.

Father and daughter examined them, their expressions simultaneously losing control, exclaimed in shock: "Such vicious Polluted Blood Tribulation, absolutely not naturally formed, must be concocted by someone."

Firefly Fairy angrily said: "To concoct such a terrifying tribulation, it probably requires killing Immortals, using their blood for concoction."

Fang Zhixing responded: "On my way back, I encountered two killers, they were from the Polluted Blood Sect, these two bottles of Polluted Blood were found on them."

The White Light Palace Master frowned, looked around at everyone and asked: "Have any of you heard of the Polluted Blood Sect?"

Everyone exchanged glances, collectively shook their heads.

Firefly Fairy asked Fang Zhixing: "Did you interrogate those two killers?"

Fang Zhixing nodded slightly and replied: "Unfortunately, they were only peripheral members, unaware of the core secrets of the Polluted Blood Sect, and even didn’t know who the Sect Hierarch actually was."

Feeling a sense of threat, the White Light Palace Master said sternly: "Investigate, start immediately! I permit you to use all means and forces necessary, you must find out this Polluted Blood Sect for me."
