Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 155 Galaxy Map

Gao Xingchen's fingers turned pale as he held the letter. The letter was deformed by the pinching. The shocking bloody handwriting seemed to have left a mark on his heart. Catastrophe? Buried with the dead? These ominous words entangled him like a poisonous snake, making him feel suffocated.

Nan Li noticed Gao Xingchen's strangeness, and a trace of worry flashed in her cold eyes: "What's wrong?"

Gao Xingchen took a deep breath and handed the letter to Nan Li. Nan Li took it and looked at it, and a layer of frost covered her beautiful face.

"Don't panic," Nan Li said calmly, but with unquestionable determination, "If an enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. Since someone wants to disrupt our wedding, let's show them what a real catastrophe is!"

Gao Xingchen nodded. Nan Li's calmness gave him great strength. He put away the surging emotions in his heart and began to carefully analyze the contents of the letter. The letter did not mention who was going to harm them, but only said that a catastrophe was about to come.

"The catastrophe...what could it be?" Gao Xingchen muttered to himself, frowning.

Nan Li pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps we can start with the word 'catastrophe' and see if there are any abnormal movements in the Nine Star Realm recently."

After discussing, the two decided to investigate the matter secretly. Gao Xingchen used his identity as the leader of Xingchen Peak to secretly summon intelligence personnel in the sect to collect information about the "catastrophe".

A few days later, a piece of news caught Gao Xingchen's attention. According to intelligence reports, Huoyun Evil God has been active recently and seems to be secretly planning something. Huoyun Evil God has always coveted the ancient magic weapon in Gao Xingchen's hand - the Galaxy Map, and has sent people to snatch it many times.

"Could it be the Fire Cloud Evil God?!" Gao Xingchen was shocked, and a bad premonition came to his mind.

In order to verify their guess, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li decided to go to Huoyun Cave to investigate. Huoyun Cave is located in the extreme west of the Nine Star Realm. It is surrounded by blazing fire all year round and the environment is extremely harsh. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li disguised themselves, avoided the guards outside Huoyun Cave, and sneaked into the cave.

Deep in the Fire Cloud Cave, they found that the Fire Cloud Evil God was gathering his men, seemingly plotting something. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li quietly lurked nearby, listening carefully to their conversation.

"This operation must succeed and not fail! I must get the Galaxy Map!" The voice of Fire Cloud Evil God was hoarse and sinister, carrying a chilling murderous intent.

"Yes! We will do our best!" the subordinates answered in unison.

"Xingchen Peak...wedding..." Gao Xingchen's heart trembled, he finally confirmed that the target that Fire Cloud Evil God was talking about was him and Nan Li, and this catastrophe was the attack that Fire Cloud Evil God was about to launch!

Realizing the urgency of the situation, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li did not dare to delay and immediately set out to return to Xingchen Peak to prepare for the impending crisis...

After discussing, the two decided to investigate the matter secretly. Gao Xingchen used his identity as the leader of Xingchen Peak to secretly summon intelligence personnel in the sect to collect information about the "catastrophe". A few days later, a piece of news caught Gao Xingchen's attention. According to the intelligence personnel's report, Huoyun Evil God has been active recently and seems to be secretly planning some conspiracy. Huoyun Evil God has always coveted the ancient magic weapon in Gao Xingchen's hand - the Galaxy Map, and has sent people to rob it many times.

Deep inside the Fire Cloud Cave, they heard with their own ears that the Fire Cloud Evil God was plotting to snatch the Galaxy Map, with his target directly targeting the Star Peak, and the time was their wedding day!

After returning to Xingchen Peak, Gao Xingchen immediately summoned his disciples and announced that they were on full alert. He locked himself in the study for a whole night and began to arrange a defensive formation based on the terrain of Xingchen Peak and his understanding of the formation.

The sky above Xingchen Peak was originally filled with clouds and mist, but at this moment, Gao Xingchen formed seals with his hands and chanted something. Mysterious runes flew out of his hands and merged into the surrounding clouds. With the injection of runes, the originally calm clouds began to roll violently, gradually forming a huge transparent light shield that enveloped the entire Xingchen Peak.

Not only that, Gao Xingchen also secretly trained a special force composed of monsters. These monsters were all conquered by him during his training, and each of them was strong and loyal. He taught these monsters the formation diagrams he got from the ancient secret realm, and trained them into an elite force that could advance and retreat in moderation and was capable of both offense and defense.

Gao Xingchen's actions naturally could not be hidden from the elders of Xingchen Peak. Elder Li found Gao Xingchen and said with some worry in his tone: "Xingchen, the wedding is coming soon. Are you making a fuss about it?"

Gao Xingchen naturally couldn't tell Elder Li about the anonymous letter, so he could only answer vaguely, "It's important to be on guard against others. I just want to make sure that the wedding goes well."

Elder Li sighed. Although he supported Gao Xingchen's approach on the surface, deep down in his heart, he had some doubts about Gao Xingchen's ability...

Elder Li sighed and said, "That's good, that's good," but a hint of doubt flashed across his cloudy eyes. As an elder of Xingchen Peak, he had witnessed Gao Xingchen's growth and understood Gao Xingchen's talent and ability. But this time, he felt that Gao Xingchen had overreacted and was too cautious.

"Could it be that this child cares too much about this wedding, so he is so nervous?" Elder Li thought to himself, "But, this shouldn't be the case..."

Gao Xingchen didn't know what Elder Li was thinking. He was standing on the top of Xingchen Peak at the moment, looking at the disciples busy at work below the mountain, his eyes full of confidence. In his opinion, everything was ready, just waiting for the wedding day to give Fire Cloud Evil God a head-on blow.

However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on people. Just when Gao Xingchen thought everything was under control, he suddenly felt a strong force wave coming from the depths of Xingchen Peak. His face suddenly changed, and he immediately realized what had happened.

"Oh no! The core of my formation has been destroyed!"

Before Gao Xingchen finished speaking, the transparent light shield that originally covered the sky above Xingchen Peak began to tremble violently, and finally with a "boom", it turned into light spots all over the sky and dissipated into the air. At the same time, a powerful pressure descended from the sky, covering the entire Xingchen Peak.

Gao Xingchen's heart sank instantly. He knew that the real crisis had just begun... and the mastermind behind this conspiracy was definitely not just the Fire Cloud Evil God. Perhaps there was an even more powerful enemy hiding beside him...

Gao Xingchen's face turned pale, and his heart was in turmoil. Who was it? Who on earth had such a powerful strength that he could sneak into Xingchen Peak quietly and destroy the core of the formation he had carefully arranged? !

"Xingchen, what's wrong?" Nan Li noticed that Gao Xingchen was acting strangely, and a hint of anxiety appeared in his cold voice.

Gao Xingchen took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Someone destroyed the core of my formation, and..."

He paused, and his eyes swept across the crowd, finally landing on Elder Li who looked concerned, and he said word by word: "This person is among us!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

“What?!” Elder Li was the first to jump up, pointing at Gao Xingchen’s nose and angrily yelling, “Xingchen, what do you mean by this? Are you doubting me?!”

Gao Xingchen ignored Elder Li's anger and turned to look at Nan Li, saying in a deep voice: "Nan Li, do you still remember that anonymous letter? The letter said that this was a 'catastrophe' and that the Fire Cloud Evil God was only the fuse of this catastrophe. The real mastermind behind this is someone else!"

Nan Li frowned slightly, and a hint of understanding flashed in her cold eyes. She took a step forward, stood beside Gao Xingchen, and said firmly: "I believe in Xingchen's judgment. This conspiracy is definitely not the work of Huoyun Evil God alone. There must be a traitor among us!"

"A traitor?!"

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of suspicion and vigilance. Someone among them actually betrayed Xingchen Peak and Gao Xingchen? !

Gao Xingchen's eyes were like torches, and he slowly scanned the crowd, trying to find a flaw in their faces. However, to his disappointment, everyone acted extremely shocked and angry, as if they were the victims.

"Who is it? Who is it?!" Gao Xingchen's heart was boiling with rage, and he wished he could pull out the enemy hiding in the dark and tear him into pieces.

At this moment, a more powerful pressure descended from the sky, covering the entire Xingchen Peak. Gao Xingchen's face changed, and he looked up, only to see dark clouds in the sky, lightning and thunder, as if the end of the world had come.

"Oh no! The Fire Cloud Evil God is coming!"
