Gao Zhengyang could spare Wu Yingxian, Ma Beifang, and even Ye Xiao. Because their conflict was a grudge in the Jianghu, not a personal grudge.
Ye Xingsha was different. First, Gao Zhengyang saved her, and then she made a promise to him. Ye Xingsha didn't do the same, yet she wanted to kill him. Gao Zhengyang wouldn't go easy on her for biting the hand that fed him.
Of course, Gao Zhengyang could understand Ye Xingsha's actions. But understanding was understanding. Since Ye Xingsha chose this path, she had to bear the responsibility and consequences.
Gao Zhengyang was the same. Sometimes, he would act tough, and sometimes, he would act tough. But before he did anything, he would think it through. He wouldn't regret it.
Some people only saw benefits before doing things, but didn't see the harm. In the end, they didn't get any benefits, but were harmed instead. Then, they couldn't help but regret it.
Gao Zhengyang didn't like people like that. If they didn't even know what they were doing, then they were idiots.
Ye Xingsha's death immediately alerted the people outside. The surrounding experts quickly surrounded them. Even the experts from the Big Dipper Army rushed over.
Gao Zhengyang didn't need to look. He could sense all the details within a five-kilometer radius just by the slight vibrations in the air. From the buzzing of a mosquito to the running footsteps of every Star Master, all sorts of rich details formed a complete panoramic view.
With his sense of smell, touch, and other senses, Gao Zhengyang had already grasped the situation around him with the most basic instinct of the Immortal God Body.
The 19 Star Masters rushing over were at least 10-star Silver Star Star Masters. These 19 Star Masters were undoubtedly experts from the Night Star Family.
The Star Power rippling around them all had similar subtle characteristics. Moreover, the material and style of their clothes were also extremely similar.
Gao Zhengyang couldn't see them, but he could easily tell them apart from the slight differences in the vibrations in the air when they moved.
The group of people coming from behind were obviously not from the Night Star Family. This could be known from the conversation between them. Furthermore, the vibrations they caused in the air were also very different from the ones caused by the Nightstar Clan.
This group of people were all wearing star armor, and their auras were piercingly cold. It was as if they were charging in a battle formation, and they had a domineering and valiant air about them.
None of the people behind him were weak. Even the weakest of them was a Silver Star Master. They seemed to be a little weaker than the Night Star Clan. However, their numbers were five times that of the NightStar Clan.
Gao Zhengyang calculated the numbers. There were 87 people in the last batch.
These were only the ones who had taken action. There were still a large number of Star Masters who had yet to take action. Bronze and Black Iron Star Masters, each wearing their own Star Armors, surrounded him from all directions. There were more than two thousand people in this group.
More than 100 Silver Star Masters and more than 2,000 Bronze and Black Iron Star Masters. The reason why the other party had put on such a grand display of force was that they were determined to win.
Gao Zhengyang couldn't help but laugh. This scene was really grand. Given his current level of Star Power, he would definitely not be able to survive if he was surrounded.
Most importantly, there was a Gold Star Master on the other side. Although the Gold Star Master hadn't moved yet, the strong aura of Star Power from afar had already locked onto him.
Although the Star Power Source of the Star Demon Realm was special, it was ultimately just a type of energy. In essence, it was no different from Vitality and Spiritual Energy. The difference was the way it was used.
When a Star Master reached the advanced level, the use of Star Power would naturally expand to other levels. For example, the spirit, the soul, and so on.
The Gold Star Master who was preparing to attack from afar had already achieved a certain level of attainment in the soul. Just by using his soul, he was able to lock onto Gao Zhengyang.
Of course, this Gold Star Master's understanding of the power of the soul was still relatively low. If Gao Zhengyang was a Grandmaster, then this Gold Star Master would be at the level of an apprentice.
The difference in the power of the soul between the two was too huge. So much so that the Gold Star Master would never be able to understand the various changes in Gao Zhengyang.
It wasn't that the Gold Star Master was incompetent. This was because of the experience, wisdom, and structure of the two parties. There was no way to make up for it in a short period of time.
The reason why Gao Zhengyang did not alarm the other party was because he did not want to lure the other party over for the time being. If the Gold Star Master attacked now, Gao Zhengyang would not be able to do anything.
The difference in the Star Power between the two parties was also something that he could not make up for no matter what techniques he used.
Although Gao Zhengyang had not fought with the other party, he had already figured out the other party's background through their telepathy.
It was very simple. The Gold Star Master's soul projection was completed through the stars in the sky.
This star was the Aries Star. To be more precise, it was the Aries Star Constellation.
The twelve Gold Star Masters obviously had a few Natal Stars, which was why they could form the Gold Star Constellation and become the Star Master. This was also the secret of the Gold Star Master's unparalleled status.
This Aries Star Master used the five Aries Star Constellations to form a stable Star Power channel, which was why he was able to transmit his soul projection to Gao Zhengyang.
Gao Zhengyang couldn't help but marvel at the method of transforming astral power. Although it was very complicated, the effect was not bad. In the Star Demon Realm, this was also the most reliable method of soul projection.
However, this Aries Gold Star Master could not casually carry out soul projection. He still needed to use other methods to confirm his target.
Gao Zhengyang had just realized that Ye Xingsha had a strange Star Power imprint on her body. This imprint was like a smell that would spread and infect others.
He only spoke a few words with Ye Xingsha, and his body was already infected with this Star Power imprint. Then, the Gold Star Master's soul projection arrived.
What surprised Gao Zhengyang was that the Gold Star Master did not show much emotion when he saw that Ye Xingsha was secretly killed. He was very calm. It was as if the person who died had nothing to do with him.
Gao Zhengyang guessed that the person in front of him must be very old and was used to seeing life and death. Also, because he was too old, he did not have any feelings for the younger generation.
There were too many juniors in a family. As a Gold Star Master, it was impossible for him to pay attention to every junior.
The restrictions of the Star Demon Realm made Gao Zhengyang unable to use his soul power to counter the other party. He could only use various details to deduce it.
The Gold Star Master's calmness also gave Gao Zhengyang a chance to escape.
Before the first Star Master rushed into the courtyard, Gao Zhengyang turned around and disappeared.
With a loud bang, the window was smashed. Two Star Masters rushed into the room, leaving behind dust and debris.
But there was no trace of Gao Zhengyang in the room. Only Ye Xingsha's corpse was quietly lying on the table.
Ye Xingsha died very peacefully. There was only a thin scar on her forehead. Her expression was calm, and her eyes were closed as if she was asleep.
The two Star Masters wearing white Star Armors glanced at Ye Xingsha's body. The most important thing now was to find Gao Zhengyang. Since Ye Xingsha was dead, there was no need to look at her anymore.
Although the two Star Masters were anxious to find Gao Zhengyang, they did not act rashly. They knew that Gao Zhengyang was very cruel. He had killed more than half of the top 30 experts in the assassin world.
It was said that he also had the secret technique of the Seven Kills Star Master. His cultivation was unfathomable.
Very quickly, the Star Masters rushed in from all directions. The living room was spacious. But with 20 to 30 Star Masters standing there, it was very crowded.
The Star Masters' Star Power collided with each other. The room was so full of Star Power that it was about to explode. In such an environment, any secret technique of concealment would be a joke.
Not to mention a living person, even a mosquito would not be able to hide its tracks.
"Gao Zhengyang escaped?" Yuan Thirty-One, who was wearing a dark blue Star Armor, patrolled the room coldly. He even specially observed Ye Xingsha's corpse.
Normally, Silver Star Masters absorbed too much Star Power when they were alive. Their bones and blood were full of Star Power. After a person died, the Star Power would not be restrained by consciousness. It would naturally decompose and return to its source.
But Ye Xingsha's corpse was perfectly preserved. This was a little strange.
Yuan Thirty-One looked carefully and even reached out to check the scar on Ye Xingsha's forehead. That's right, the scar went straight to the brain and completely killed Ye Xingsha.
However, the opponent's method was very ingenious. He had completely locked onto Ye Xingsha's Star Core. The Star Core did not collapse. Under the restraint of the Star Core, the Star Power in Ye Xingsha's body did not spontaneously decompose.
Judging by Gao Zhengyang's method, he must have left Ye Xingsha's corpse on purpose to warn the Ye Xing Family.
Yuan Thirty-One's gaze finally landed on Ye Xingcheng's face. The name Yuan Thirty-One sounded like a country bumpkin. In reality, it represented his ranking in the Big Dipper Army.
Thirty-One was not a high ranking, but many of the Star Masters who ranked before him were dead or in seclusion. Hence, Yuan Thirty-One was one of the top three powerhouses in the Big Dipper Army.
For example, if he was unhappy and punched Ye Xingcheng to death, the family head Ye Xingsheng would definitely not make a sound. He would not even ask why.
Hence, facing the ferocious Yuan Thirty-One, Ye Xingcheng was very afraid. Although he was surrounded by powerhouses from the Ye Xing Family, he still instinctively lowered his head and avoided the other party's gaze.
"What do you have to say for yourself?" Yuan Thirty-One questioned Ye Xingcheng impolitely.
Ye Xingcheng lowered his head and thought for a while. Then, he mustered his courage and said, "Gao Zhengyang realized that something was wrong. He killed my sister and escaped!"
Yuan Thirty-One could not bear to see Ye Xingcheng cower. He said angrily, "Then tell me, how did he escape?"
"I don't know."
Ye Xingcheng also felt that this answer was not good, so he added, "He knows the Seven Kills Starlord's secret technique. Who knows what special changes will occur? "
Ye Xingcheng felt very wronged. There were so many people surrounding him. Why did they ask him if someone got lost? Did they not have eyes?
Of course, he definitely did not dare to say that.
Yuan Thirty-One was also very disappointed in Ye Xingcheng. Only Ye Xingcheng and Gao Zhengyang were familiar with each other, yet he could not make any judgments. He was practically useless.
At this moment, two powerhouses from the Big Dipper Army pressed Ye Xiao over.
Gao Zhengyang left quickly. Ye Xiao did not know what was happening in the room beside him before he was blocked by a large group of Star Masters. When he saw the other party's stance, he did not even dare to let out a fart. He was terrified on the spot.
"Your name is Ye Xiao?" Yuan Thirty-One did not stand on ceremony. As soon as he arrived, he treated himself as the master and started interrogating him.
Ye Xiao nodded repeatedly. He did not even dare to look at him. There were too many Star Masters around. They did not even need to make a move. Just the aura of star power that they released was enough to crush him to death.
"The assassin ranked 31st on the Seven Kills List?" Yuan Thirty-One asked.
"Yes." Ye Xiao hurriedly replied.
"How did you follow Gao Zhengyang?" Yuan Thirty-One asked again.
Ye Xiao recounted everything that had happened in detail. In the meantime, Yuan Thirty-One asked for many more details.
When Ye Xiao was done, everyone understood that this fellow had nothing to do with Gao Zhengyang. He was just an insignificant nobody.
Ye Xingcheng's eyes glinted fiercely. "Ye Xiao, you will pay for my sister's death!"
Ye Xiao turned pale with fright. He felt extremely wronged. He had killed many people, but Ye Xingsha's death had nothing to do with him.
"No, I have to bring this person back."
Yuan Thirty-One rejected Ye Xingcheng without hesitation. Ye Xiao still had the star power that Gao Zhengyang had left on him. How could he let him die just like that?
Ye Xingcheng glanced at the experts from his family. Many of them looked slightly awkward. They also wanted Ye Xiao, but who would dare to go against the Big Dipper Army?
The Big Dipper Army belonged directly to the Emperor and was his personal army. They could investigate the officials internally and wipe out the star beasts externally. They had great authority and power. No one in the Imperial Capital dared to provoke them.
Even if the Elder Ancestor of their family came forward, the other party would not give him face.
Yuan Thirty-One was not done. He continued to ask, "Hasn't the Aries Star Master been paying attention all this time? Shouldn't you come out and give me an explanation?"
Before he finished speaking, a deep and hoarse voice echoed in the air. "Gao Zhengyang is extremely strange. He erased the star power imprint that I left behind. I don't know where he has escaped to."
Hearing the Aries Star Master's words, Yuan Thirty-One also restrained his anger. He lowered his head slightly to show his respect. "Since the Star Master has spoken, I will be able to report to His Majesty when I return."
As he spoke, he waved his hand and led his subordinates away.
After Yuan Thirty-One and the rest left, Ye Xingcheng heard the Aries Star Master's aged voice. "Bring Ye Xingsha back to see me."
Ye Xingcheng was shocked. He did not know what the Aries Star Master meant. With Ye Xingsha's status, why would the Aries Star Master care about her life or death?
However, the Aries Star Master was the oldest elder in the Ye Xing Family. He was everyone's Elder Ancestor. He was also the true pillar of the Ye Xing Family. They could disobey the Patriarch, but they could not disobey the Elder Ancestor.
Ye Xingcheng hurriedly instructed the other Star Masters. No one dared to delay. They prepared a specially-made coffin and placed Ye Xingsha's body inside. Then, they rushed back to the old residence with the coffin.
The Aries Star Master lived in the deepest part of the old residence. This was a spacious independent courtyard. Just the walls alone were three feet tall. This place was isolated from the outside world. It was a world of its own. Without the permission of the Patriarch, no one had the right to visit.
This time, with the permission of the Aries Star Master, Ye Xingcheng and a few other Star Masters carried the coffin and followed Ye Xingcheng into this mysterious courtyard.
There was actually nothing inside. Because no one cared for it, the courtyard was overgrown with weeds. The house was also somewhat dilapidated. It was not as luxurious as Ye Xingcheng had imagined.
He did not understand. The Aries Star Master was one of the strongest people in the Kingdom. Why did he have to stay in such a dilapidated place?
Just as Ye Xingcheng was thinking, he saw a white-haired, white-bearded old man slowly walk out of the house.
The old man had a hunched back. A faint blue glow of Star Power appeared on his face. Under the blue glow, his loose and aged skin gave off an indescribable demonic aura.
Ye Xingcheng had grown so much, but this was the first time he saw the Aries Star Master. He only dared to sneak a peek. Then, he followed behind the Patriarch and knelt down to pay his respects.
"Everyone, rise."
The Aries Star Master did not look at the crowd and casually said. He looked at the coffin with a strange gaze. No one knew what he was thinking.
Ye Xingsheng, Ye Xingcheng, and the rest felt strange. There were still coffins in this world. Ordinary people needed a coffin to be buried when they died. With the Aries Star Master's experience, he would not care about such things.
Just as Ye Xingsheng was about to speak, the Aries Star Master suddenly pressed his hand on the coffin.
The high-grade coffin disintegrated silently, exploding into a sky full of deep blue starlight that scattered everywhere. The Aries Star Master had completely assimilated the coffin with his Star Power with one palm.
After all, the Gold Star Lord's exquisite control of Star Power was nothing to be proud of. What surprised Ye Xingcheng and the rest was the Aries Star Master's solemn attitude.
"Could it be that Ye Xingsha's corpse has some secret?" Everyone took a few steps back cautiously.
The Aries Star Master looked at Ye Xingsha's corpse, and a cold smile appeared on his face. "You're quite smart. You used your ability to transform into a corpse to escape."
Hearing the Aries Star Master's words, Ye Xingcheng and the rest widened their eyes and stared at Ye Xingsha's corpse.
Everyone thought, 'So this is Gao Zhengyang's transformation. Such a transformation technique, yet I can't see any flaws. How miraculous. '
Moreover, Gao Zhengyang was able to think of such a method to escape in a hurry. He was truly cunning. Unfortunately, it could not escape the Aries Star Master's eyes.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at the Aries Star Master with admiration. He was indeed the Aries Star Master, the pillar of the family. His eyes were like torches, and he was wise and mighty.
No matter how cunning Gao Zhengyang was, he was just asking to be humiliated in front of the Aries Star Master.
Moreover, by silently capturing Gao Zhengyang, they would be able to monopolize the Seven Kills Star Master's secret technique. If that was the case, Ye Xingsha's death was worth it.
Everyone present was smart. They immediately understood the stakes involved. Everyone became excited.
The Aries Star Master was quite satisfied with everyone's reaction. Although their cultivation was not good, at least they had brains.
But what surprised him was that Gao Zhengyang was still lying there pretending to be stupid. He had already been exposed, yet he still did not give up. This Gao Zhengyang was too petty. He only knew how to play petty tricks.
The Aries Star Master sneered silently. Star power flashed on his fingertip. A blue starlight flew out like a blade and pierced Ye Xingsha's chest.
Then, Ye Xingsha's chest was pierced …
Then, the blue star power continued to spread. Ye Xingsha's body quickly disintegrated into pieces of starlight that scattered in all directions.
The Aries Star Master was stunned. He had clearly felt a spirit projection imprint on Ye Xingsha's body. How could this be?
Ye Xingcheng, Ye Xingsheng, and the other Star Masters were also stunned. What was going on?
Where was Gao Zhengyang that they were talking about?
The Aries Star Master was not an ordinary person. After a moment of daze, he quickly realized, "Oh no, Ye Xiao is Gao Zhengyang in disguise!"
At the same time, Yuan Thirty-One was interrogating Ye Xiao in the carriage.
Ye Xiao suddenly stopped talking. Yuan Thirty-One was confused. Why was Ye Xiao still resisting at this time?
Yuan Thirty-One realized that Ye Xiao's gaze had changed. It became calm and distant like the starry sky. In his shock, he realized that something was wrong.
Opposite him, Ye Xiao had already made his move. He raised his fingertip and a transparent blade of light flashed out.
The brilliant blade of light flashed like a meteor. Yuan Thirty-One could only watch helplessly. He could not react in time. The blade of light pierced directly into his eyes.
