Chapter 304: Starlight Restarts
Gao Xingchen patted Nanli's back gently and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, everything is over. I will protect you and everyone." Nanli nodded gently in his arms, with tears still in the corners of her eyes, but a determined light flashing in her eyes.
At this time, Xuanfeng and Zhao Wanwan also rushed over after hearing the news. When they saw Gao Xingchen coming out of seclusion, they showed happy smiles on their faces.
"Congratulations, Pavilion Master!" Xuan Feng bowed and smiled, "Your strength has improved again, it is really cause for celebration!"
Zhao Wanwan also smiled and said, "Yes, Pavilion Master, you are finally out of seclusion. We all missed you very much!"
Gao Xingchen looked at the familiar faces in front of him, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He knew that no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead was, as long as he had these companions by his side, he would be fearless.
He stood in the square of Xingchen Pavilion, looking at the group of energetic partners in front of him, his heart was full of gratitude and determination. He knew that no matter how many challenges there were in the future, they would face them together and jointly protect this beautiful home.
"Brothers and sisters of Xingchen Pavilion!" Gao Xingchen's voice was loud and powerful, echoing over the square. "During this period, we have experienced unprecedented hardships and suffered huge losses. But all this cannot make us surrender, let alone give up!"
"Today, I declare that the Xingchen Pavilion will no longer passively take a beating! We must take the initiative to attack and completely eliminate those enemies hiding in the dark! We must protect the Nine Star Realm and safeguard our home!"
Gao Xingchen's words were like a flame that ignited everyone's hearts, and deafening shouts suddenly rang out in the square:
"Protect the Nine Star Realm! Protect our home!"
Gao Xingchen looked at the angry crowd in front of him, and his heart was filled with pride. He waved his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down, and then continued:
"I have decided to set up three special operations teams, led by me, Nanli, and Xuanfeng respectively, to conduct an in-depth investigation into the forces behind the mysterious man, collect intelligence, and prepare for our counterattack!"
Upon hearing this, Nanli and Xuanfeng stepped forward at the same time and clasped their fists to receive the order.
Afterwards, Gao Xingchen arranged the next action plan in detail and assigned them to different action teams based on each person's specialties.
After everything was arranged, the three teams set out from the Star Pavilion and disappeared into the night.
Nan Li led an elite team and sneaked into the largest intelligence trading market in the Nine Stars Realm - Dark Night City. This place is a gathering place for all kinds of information and the best place to find out the traces of the forces behind the mysterious man.
At the same time, Xuanfeng led another team to the border between the Nine Star Realm and other realms. According to intelligence, the forces behind the mysterious man are likely to come from other realms, and Xuanfeng's mission is to investigate their origins and their purpose of sneaking into the Nine Star Realm.
Gao Xingchen himself led an elite team towards a remote valley marked on the map. According to reliable intelligence, it was a secret base of the forces behind the mysterious man...
The team led by Gao Xingchen approached the target valley silently under the cover of night. At the entrance of the valley, two guards were pacing back and forth bored, unaware of the danger. Gao Xingchen made a gesture, and the two team members behind him flashed out like ghosts and subdued the guards in an instant without making a sound.
"Hurry up!" Gao Xingchen shouted in a low voice and rushed into the valley first.
In the valley, simple wooden houses were scattered around, and human figures could be vaguely seen moving. Gao Xingchen, based on the intelligence he had obtained in advance, headed straight for a cave deep in the valley. That was where the forces behind the mysterious man stored strategic materials.
At the entrance of the cave, several guards were chatting by the fire. When they saw Gao Xingchen and his men suddenly appear, they were immediately shocked and hastily drew their weapons to fight. However, before they could even send out a warning signal, they were quickly killed by Gao Xingchen and his men.
"boom!"
Gao Xingchen kicked open the cave door, and the scene in front of him shocked him. He saw that the depths of the cave were filled with various weapons, equipment and cultivation resources, the number of which was staggering.
"It seems that we have gained a lot this time." Gao Xingchen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sneer.
At the same time, in Xingchen Pavilion, Zhao Wanwan was concentrating on the screen in front of her, her fingers rapidly tapping on the keyboard. In front of her was a computer connected to complex instruments, with dense codes and symbols displayed on the screen.
"Found it!" Zhao Wanwan suddenly shouted excitedly, her face full of joy.
After several days of unremitting efforts, she finally succeeded in cracking the communication code of the forces behind the mysterious man. Now, she can easily intercept their communication information and understand their movements and plans.
"Master, I succeeded!" Zhao Wanwan picked up the communicator and reported her results to Gao Xingchen.
"Good! Well done!" Gao Xingchen's pleased voice came from the communicator, "Wanwan, you've done a great job! Continue to monitor their communications, and report to me immediately if there is any situation!"
"Yes!" Zhao Wanwan answered excitedly, her heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Gao Xingchen and his companions returned to Xingchen Pavilion overnight with the seized materials. In this operation, they not only obtained a large amount of strategic materials, but also seized some important intelligence about the forces behind the mysterious man.
"It seems that our enemies are far more powerful and mysterious than we imagined." Gao Xingchen looked at the information in his hand with a frown.
Intelligence shows that the force behind the mysterious man is a powerful organization called "Netherworld Palace". This organization is huge and spreads throughout the entire Nine Star Realm, and even has traces of them in other realms.
"Netherworld Palace..." Gao Xingchen muttered to himself, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, "It seems that our next journey will be even more difficult..."
At this moment, Zhao Wanwan suddenly sent an urgent communication: "Pavilion Master, I have intercepted an important piece of information! An important figure from the Nether Palace will secretly go to Black Wind Ridge to meet with someone tomorrow night!"
Gao Xingchen was excited when he heard this. He knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...
"Black Wind Ridge..." Gao Xingchen tapped his fingers lightly on the map, his deep eyes flashing with a sharp light, "The Nether Palace chose to meet there, it seems that they want to use the complex terrain of Black Wind Ridge to hide their whereabouts. However, the more cautious they are, the more it shows that this meeting is not trivial."
"Xingchen, what are you going to do?" Nan Li's cold voice rang out in the room. She stood tall beside Gao Xingchen, with a trace of worry on her beautiful face. Ever since she learned that Gao Xingchen was going to Black Wind Ridge in person, she felt uneasy.
"I plan to go there in person." Gao Xingchen said firmly, "The important person we are meeting this time may have information about the core secrets of the Nether Palace. We must seize this opportunity."
Nan Li wanted to persuade her again, but Gao Xingchen raised his hand to stop her, "Li'er, I know you are worried about me, but I have to do this. Don't worry, I will be careful and will not take risks easily."
Nan Li knew Gao Xingchen's character. Once he made a decision, he would not change it easily. He could only sigh helplessly and warned him, "Then you must be careful in everything. I will support you in secret."
That night, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li disguised themselves as ordinary warriors and quietly sneaked into Black Wind Ridge. Black Wind Ridge has a complex terrain with rugged rocks. It is pitch dark at night, and the cold wind is gusty, which makes people shudder.
The two followed the information provided by Zhao Wanwan and groped their way forward. Finally, they found the trace of the Nether Palace in a hidden valley. In the valley, several men in black were sitting around a campfire, talking in low voices. Behind them, next to a huge rock, stood a mysterious man in a black robe and a bamboo hat, with an unclear face.
"It seems that he is an important figure in the Nether Palace." Gao Xingchen said in a low voice, with a gleam in his eyes.
"What should we do?" Nan Li asked.
"Watch and see, and then act when the time comes." Gao Xingchen said in a deep voice.
The two of them patiently hid in the dark, carefully observing the movements in the valley. Suddenly, the man in black robe seemed to notice something, turned around abruptly, and scanned the surroundings with a pair of sharp eyes, and shouted coldly: "Who is sneaking around there? Show up quickly!"
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were shocked, knowing that they had been exposed, and looking at each other, they no longer hid, and rushed towards the man in black robe like two lightning bolts.
"You bold lunatic, how dare you trespass into the forbidden area of my Netherworld Palace? You are seeking death!" The man in black robe shouted angrily and jumped up suddenly to meet Gao Xingchen and Nan Li.
A fierce battle broke out instantly. The black-robed man was strong and fierce, but Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were not easy to deal with. The two of them joined forces to fight the enemy, and their moves were coordinated tacitly. For a while, they fought on equal terms with the black-robed man.
In the fierce battle, Gao Xingchen seized an opportunity and hit the black-robed man in the chest with a palm, knocking him away. The black-robed man fell heavily to the ground, spurting blood from his mouth, and struggled to get up, but Gao Xingchen stepped forward and stepped on his chest, making him unable to move.
Gao Xingchen pulled off the black-robed man's hat, revealing a pale and distorted face.
"Tell me, what exactly is the conspiracy of your Netherworld Palace?" Gao Xingchen asked coldly.
The man in black robe glared at Gao Xingchen with gritted teeth, saying nothing.
"You won't tell me?" A cold light flashed in Gao Xingchen's eyes, "Then don't blame me for being rude."
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the black-robed man's wrist, transferred a stream of true energy into his body, and began to search his memory.
After a moment, Gao Xingchen let go of his hand and his face became extremely solemn.
"What's wrong? What did you find?" Nan Li asked hurriedly upon seeing this.
Gao Xingchen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I learned from his memory that the Nether Palace is planning a shocking conspiracy, and the target of this conspiracy is actually..."
Having said this, he paused deliberately, his eyes filled with worry and solemnity.
"It's actually... the entire Nine Star Realm!" Gao Xingchen said word by word, his eyes full of shock and solemnity.
Nan Li couldn't help but take a breath when she heard this. She thought the conspiracy of the Nether Palace would be huge, but she never expected that their target would be the entire Nine Star Realm!
"What exactly do they want to do?" Nan Li's voice trembled slightly, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.
Gao Xingchen didn't say anything, but clenched his fists tightly, with a determined light flashing in his eyes. He knew that if the conspiracy of the Nether Palace succeeded, the entire Nine Star Realm would fall into chaos and darkness.
"No, we must stop them!" Gao Xingchen said in a deep voice, his tone full of determination, "Li'er, you must return to Xingchen Pavilion immediately and tell Elder Xuanfeng about this matter. Let him be prepared. We are going to fight to the death with the Netherworld Palace!"
Nan Li knew the situation was urgent, so he stopped hesitating, nodded, turned around, performed his lightness skills, and quickly disappeared into the night.
Gao Xingchen looked at Nan Li's departing back, a trace of worry flashed across his eyes, but it was soon replaced by determination. He took a deep breath, turned around and looked at the man in black robes, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Do you have any last words?" Gao Xingchen asked coldly.
The man in black robe knew that he had fallen into Gao Xingchen's hands and there was no chance of survival. A trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Gao Xingchen, you will not succeed! Our leader has extraordinary skills, and you are no match for him! Just wait, one day, he will lead us to flatten Xingchen Pavilion and trample the entire Nine Star Realm under his feet!"
Gao Xingchen sneered and said nothing. He just waved his hand lightly, and a stream of true energy shattered the black-robed man's heart meridian.
The man in black robe fell to the ground with his eyes wide open and full of unwillingness.
Gao Xingchen ignored the body of the man in black robe and turned to walk out of the valley. He knew that a bigger storm was coming, and he was ready to meet the challenge.
After returning to Xingchen Pavilion, Gao Xingchen immediately summoned all the core members and revealed the conspiracy of the Nether Palace. Everyone was shocked when they heard it, and at the same time they felt a heavy pressure.
"Master, what should we do now?" Elder Xuanfeng asked in a deep voice.
Gao Xingchen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The forces of the Nether Palace are complicated and their strength should not be underestimated. We must be fully prepared to fight against them."
"I have formulated a series of plans based on the clues I got from the black-robed man." Gao Xingchen said, unfolding a map. "The forces of the Nether Palace are mainly distributed in three areas, namely..."
Gao Xingchen pointed to three areas on the map and explained his strategic deployment in detail.
"We must first concentrate our strength, defeat them one by one, and eventually uproot the Nether Palace!" Gao Xingchen's eyes flashed with determination, and his tone was full of confidence and determination.
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, with a raging fire of war burning in their eyes.
Xingchen Pavilion, under the leadership of Gao Xingchen, has once again embarked on the journey to fight against evil forces. They will face even more brutal battles, but they believe that justice will surely defeat evil, and light will eventually dispel darkness!
