Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 114: Darkness of the Stars

The night breeze on the top of the mountain blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, but it could not blow away the joy in Gao Xingchen and Nanli's hearts.

"Li'er, look, that star is so bright, just like your eyes." Gao Xingchen pointed to the brightest star in the night sky, his eyes full of tenderness.

Nan Li turned her head to look at him, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "Slippery tongue."

Gao Xingchen laughed loudly, took Nan Li's hand, and said, "Let's go back. We have to report to Master tomorrow."

The two returned to their residence, only to find that Elder Li's room was brightly lit.

"It's so late, Master, hasn't rested yet?" Gao Xingchen was puzzled and knocked on the door gently.

"Come in." Elder Li's voice came with a hint of fatigue.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li walked into the room, only to see Elder Li sitting in front of the desk with a frown on his face. There was a pile of scrolls on the desk, one of which was stained with blood, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Master, what happened?" Gao Xingchen felt a little uneasy.

Elder Li raised his head, looked at the two of them, sighed, and said, "I got the news that the star field has been unstable recently. A mysterious organization is operating in secret. Their purpose is unknown, but their strength should not be underestimated."

"Mysterious organization?" Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at each other and thought of the men in black they met in the competition.

"Could it be them?" Nan Li asked.

Elder Li shook his head. "I'm not sure yet, but we have to be on guard. I plan to go to the Star Domain Alliance tomorrow and inform Sect Leader Huo about this. You guys..."

Before Elder Li finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed. He stood up abruptly and reached out to grab the wall behind Nan Li.

With a slight "click" sound, a brick on the wall suddenly caved in, revealing a black box.

"What is this?" Gao Xingchen asked puzzledly.

Elder Li did not answer, but carefully opened the box, took out a scroll from it, unfolded it, and his expression suddenly became extremely solemn.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li had never seen Elder Li with such a serious expression, and they felt even more uneasy. They also moved forward and looked at the scroll.

The scroll was filled with densely packed words and some strange patterns. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li couldn't understand it, but the faint smell of blood emanating from the scroll made them feel frightened.

"This is..." Elder Li took a deep breath and said slowly, "This is a confidential document about that mysterious organization. It records their true purpose..."

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li held their breath, waiting for Elder Li's next words.

"They... they want to rule the entire star field!" Elder Li's voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of hell.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were struck by lightning and were so shocked that they were speechless.

"How is this possible?" Gao Xingchen muttered to himself. He couldn't imagine what kind of power could make an organization come up with such a crazy idea.

Nan Li clenched her fists tightly, with a cold light flashing in her eyes. She was once a feared killer, accustomed to life and death, but at this moment, she felt unprecedented fear.

Because she knew that if this mysterious organization really succeeded, the entire star field would fall into endless darkness.

"Master, what should we do?" Gao Xingchen raised his head and looked at Elder Li, his eyes full of confusion and helplessness.

Elder Li was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "We must stop them!"

His gaze swept across Gao Xingchen and Nan Li, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

"Xingchen, Li'er, are you willing to face this crisis with me?"

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li nodded without hesitation.

They knew that this was a battle that concerned the fate of the star field, and they had no choice but to fight! "We must stop them!" Gao Xingchen and Nan Li said in unison, with a firm tone and without the slightest hesitation.

Elder Li looked at his two disciples with relief. He knew that this battle would be extremely difficult, but at least they were not fighting alone. He put away the shocking scroll and said earnestly, "Without further delay, we will set off to the Star Domain Alliance and inform Sect Leader Huo of this matter."

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li nodded, and the three of them immediately set off and left their residence overnight.

However, what they didn't know was that in the dark, a pair of cold eyes were watching their every move.

Xuan Yu hid behind the bushes, watching Gao Xingchen, Nanli and Elder Li leave in a hurry, with a sinister smile on his face. He lost to Gao Xingchen in the competition, and he had been holding a grudge, but he couldn't find a chance to take revenge.

"Hmph, you want to stop the mysterious organization? I won't let you do as you wish!" A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Xuan Yu's eyes. He decided to leak the news. He wanted Gao Xingchen to pay a heavy price.

Xuan Yu didn't know the contact information of the mysterious organization, but he knew that as long as the news was spread, it would definitely reach their ears. He found a pen and paper, imitated Elder Li's handwriting, and wrote a secret letter, describing Gao Xingchen and others' discovery of the conspiracy of the mysterious organization in a exaggerated way, and deliberately revealed their plan to go to the Star Domain Alliance.

After finishing writing, Xuan Yu stuffed the letter into an envelope and then released a spirit bird that was specially used to deliver messages. Watching the spirit bird disappear into the night sky, a smile of success appeared on Xuan Yu's face.

He didn't know that his action would bring a huge catastrophe to the entire star field.

Gao Xingchen, Nanli and Elder Li were on their way to the Star Domain Alliance, unaware of the danger approaching. Their hearts were filled with worry about the future, but also with hope.

However, when they arrived at the Star Domain Alliance, they were greeted not by Master Huo's warm hospitality, but by a murderous atmosphere.

The gate of the Star Domain Alliance headquarters was closed. Several corpses were lying in front of the door. The ground was stained red with blood, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

"What happened?!" Elder Li's face changed drastically, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

The strong smell of blood hit Gao Xingchen's face, and his heart sank suddenly. The door of the Star Domain Alliance headquarters was closed, and several bodies were lying in a pool of blood, with miserable deaths. The air was filled with a suffocating and oppressive atmosphere.

"How could this happen?" Nan Li murmured in a low voice, and a hint of astonishment appeared on his usually cold face.

"Not good! We are too late!" Elder Li's face turned pale. He quickly stepped forward and carefully examined the wound of a corpse. "It's the Nether Blade! They did it!"

The Nether Blade, the iconic weapon of the mysterious organization. It seems that Xuan Yu's betrayal is faster than they imagined, and the mysterious organization has already launched an attack on the Star Domain Alliance.

"Xingchen, Nanli, let's split up and find Master Huo as soon as possible and tell him about the situation here!" Elder Li acted promptly, as he knew that time was life at this moment.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li also knew the seriousness of the matter. They nodded solemnly and rushed in different directions. The headquarters of the Star Domain Alliance covers a vast area with well-arranged buildings. Gao Xingchen rushed all the way but never found any survivors. There were only corpses all over the ground and a disgusting smell of blood.

"Ah——" A scream cut through the sky, Gao Xingchen's heart trembled, and he ran in the direction of the sound. He saw a disciple of the Star Domain Alliance being besieged by several men in black. He was seriously injured, but he still fought hard.

"Stop!" Gao Xingchen roared, rushing forward waving his sword, and the sharp sword energy forced back several men in black.

"Who are you? How dare you interfere in the affairs of our Netherworld Palace!" one of the men in black shouted sternly.

"The Netherworld Palace?" Gao Xingchen was shocked. It seemed that these people were members of a mysterious organization. He smiled coldly, "I don't care what palace you are from. Today, you all must die!"

After that, Gao Xingchen stopped talking nonsense and swung his sword to attack the men in black. His sword skills were extremely sharp and his moves were deadly. The men in black were no match for him and were quickly killed by him.

"Thank you for saving my life!" The disciple of the Star Domain Alliance struggled to get up and thanked Gao Xingchen.

"You're welcome. The situation is critical now. You should find a safe place to hide." Gao Xingchen said, and continued to run forward. He was extremely anxious, wondering how Nan Li was doing.

The entire Star Alliance headquarters was in chaos, with shouts of killing and the sound of weapons clashing everywhere, and countless innocent lives were killed in the war. Gao Xingchen was extremely sad, and he vowed to prevent the disaster from further expanding.

During a fierce battle, Gao Xingchen accidentally discovered the leader of a mysterious organization. He was wearing a black robe and a hat, so his face could not be seen clearly, but the cold aura he exuded made Gao Xingchen shudder.

"Who are you? Why did you start this war?" Gao Xingchen asked angrily.

The leader of the mysterious organization slowly raised his head and sneered, "You will know soon, my old friend."

The hat was lifted, and a familiar face appeared in front of Gao Xingchen. He widened his eyes in shock, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.
