Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 65 Seemingly a Breakthrough

The appearance of Granny Sun instantly froze the atmosphere in the entire hall. Gao Xingchen was full of doubts. He didn't understand why Granny Sun appeared here, and he didn't understand why she claimed to be the former leader of the "Dark Alliance".

The leader of the Dark Alliance was also obviously shocked by Granny Sun’s words. He looked up and down at this seemingly ordinary old woman, his eyes full of disbelief: “Impossible, this is impossible! You clearly have already…”

"I'm already what?" Granny Sun snorted coldly, interrupting him, "Am I already dead? Or do you really think you can cover up everything and keep everyone in the dark?"

The leader's face turned pale, but he didn't dare to say anything more. Granny Sun's aura was too strong, so he didn't dare to look her in the eye.

"Xingchen, don't worry, I will take your friend away right away." Granny Sun said, and was about to step forward to untie Ling'er's restraints.

“Wait!” The leader saw this and quickly spoke out to stop them. “Grandma Sun, I know you are powerful, but don’t go too far! This is my territory. If you dare to act rashly, don’t blame me for being rude!”

"Your territory?" Granny Sun sneered, "I founded this 'Dark Alliance'. When did it become your turn to call the shots?"

"You..." The leader was suddenly speechless. He never imagined that this seemingly harmless old woman was actually the founder of the "Dark Alliance".

"Why are you doing this?" Gao Xingchen couldn't help but ask. He always thought that Granny Sun was just a beast tamer who lived in seclusion in the mountains, but he didn't expect that she had such an identity.

Granny Sun sighed and said, "The original intention of establishing the Dark Alliance was to maintain peace in the Nine Star Realm, but later I found that I was wrong. The organization I created has deviated from its original track and has become a monster that only knows how to pursue power and authority."

"So you left the Dark Alliance and lived in seclusion?" Gao Xingchen asked.

"That's right." Granny Sun nodded. "I thought that as long as I stopped interfering in worldly affairs, the Dark Alliance would slowly get back on track. I didn't expect that they would become more and more crazy, and even want to control all the spirit pets and rule the entire Nine Star Realm!"

Gao Xingchen and the others were shocked when they heard this. They had always thought that the "Dark Alliance" only wanted to capture powerful spirit pets, but they didn't expect their ambitions to be so big!

"Now, do you know why I showed up?" Granny Sun looked at Gao Xingchen, her eyes full of expectation. "Xingchen, you are the chosen one. Only you can stop the Dark Alliance and save the Nine Star Realm!"

Gao Xingchen took a deep breath. He knew that the burden on his shoulders was heavy, but he would not back down. He would do his best to stop the conspiracy of the "Dark Alliance"! Grandma Sun's words were loud and resounding in the hall. Gao Xingchen and others were surprised. They never thought that the seemingly ordinary old man in front of them was the founder of the "Dark Alliance". The leader of the "Dark Alliance", who had always been regarded as the mastermind, was like a clown at this moment, unable to refute.

Granny Sun ignored the livid leader and walked straight to Ling'er and untied her. Ling'er leaned weakly against Nanli and looked at Granny Sun gratefully.

“Grandma Sun, do you really want to be our enemy?” Seeing that Grandma Sun was serious, the leader finally said with a hint of panic, “You should know that the Dark Alliance is no longer as powerful as it was back then…”

"Shut up!" Granny Sun shouted, "I founded the Dark Alliance to maintain peace in the Nine Star Realm, not to let you satisfy your selfish desires and bring disaster to the people!"

Granny Sun turned around and glanced at everyone in the hall. Those members of the "Dark Alliance" who had originally followed the leader lowered their heads under her gaze.

"I know that some of you were deceived, and some of you were forced to do it." Granny Sun's voice softened a little. "Now, I'll give you a chance. Lay down your weapons and leave here. I can forgive you for what happened."

Grandma Sun's words were like a ray of dawn, illuminating the dark corners in many people's hearts. They looked at each other, struggling in their eyes, and finally, one by one, they put down their weapons and walked out of the hall silently.

"You..." The leader looked at this scene, furious, but helpless. Grandma Sun's prestige in the "Dark Alliance" was deeply rooted, and even if he had controlled most of the forces, he could not compete with it.

"Go now." Granny Sun ignored the leader's roar and said calmly, "Since you have made great contributions to the Dark Alliance, I will not kill you today. But if you continue to be stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The leader looked at Granny Sun deeply, and finally turned away without saying a word. He knew that he had been defeated today, completely defeated.

After Granny Sun watched the leader leave, she turned to look at Gao Xingchen and the others and said, "Children, although we are temporarily safe now, the threat of the Dark Alliance still exists. If we want to completely eradicate this cancer, we must find their headquarters as soon as possible and wipe them out in one fell swoop."

Under the leadership of Granny Sun, Gao Xingchen and others began to make a plan. They analyzed the activities of the "Dark Alliance" and looked for any clues. Finally, they found a secret place from the clues provided by Granny Sun, which was likely the headquarters of the "Dark Alliance".

After the plan was made, Gao Xingchen and the others began to prepare for the final battle. They took the time to practice and improve their strength, and at the same time, under the guidance of Grandma Sun, they learned how to fight more effectively with the spirit pets.

Just before the plan was implemented, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li stood side by side on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on them, making their figures look particularly slender.

"Nanli, thank you." Gao Xingchen suddenly said, "Thank you for always being by my side, supporting me, and encouraging me."

"Silly boy, we are companions." Nan Li smiled slightly, "Besides, I believe in you and believe that you can overcome all difficulties."

Gao Xingchen held Nanli's hand, looked into her eyes lovingly, and said, "Nanli, when all this is over, we will..."

Before Gao Xingchen could finish his words, he was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps.

"Xingchen, Nanli, something bad has happened!" Ling'er ran over in a panic, "Granny Sun..."

The afterglow of the setting sun covered the mountains in the distance with a layer of golden gauze, and the evening breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li stood side by side on the top of the mountain, looking at the magnificent scenery, but their hearts were filled with longing and worry about the future.

"Nanli, thank you." Gao Xingchen took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at the woman in front of him who made his heart beat fast with burning eyes, "Thank you for always being with me, supporting me, and encouraging me." From the cold and beautiful killer when they first met, to the close partner fighting side by side now, Nanli is no longer just a friend to Gao Xingchen.

"Silly, we are companions." Nan Li's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a touching smile. She gently held Gao Xingchen's hand, feeling the warmth of his palm, "Besides, I also believe in you, I believe you can overcome all difficulties."

Gao Xingchen held Nanli's hand tightly with his backhand, and the two looked into each other's eyes. The affection in each other's eyes needed no further words at this moment. He said affectionately: "Nanli, when this is over, we will..."

"Xingchen, Nanli, something bad has happened!" Before Gao Xingchen could finish her words, she was interrupted by Ling'er's anxious voice. She ran to the two of them breathlessly, "Grandma Sun...she suddenly fainted!"

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li's faces changed, and they immediately rushed back to Grandma Sun's room. They saw Grandma Sun lying on the bed with a pale face and a weak breath. Nan Li hurried forward to treat her. After a moment, she frowned and said solemnly: "Grandma Sun's health is not good. She used up too much energy when she attacked forcefully before. Now I'm afraid..."

Gao Xingchen's heart sank, he knew that Granny Sun had disregarded her own safety in order to save Ling'er. He clenched his fists and secretly vowed to eradicate the "Dark Alliance" as soon as possible and avenge Granny Sun!

Due to Grandma Sun's sudden illness, the original plan had to be moved forward. The next night, Gao Xingchen, Nanli and Ling'er sneaked into the headquarters of the "Dark Alliance" under the cover of night.

The headquarters of the "Dark Alliance" was located in a hidden valley, surrounded by powerful restrictions and guards. Fortunately, Gao Xingchen and his team were well prepared. With their tacit cooperation and strong strength, they finally arrived at the main hall of the headquarters.

Inside the hall, the lights were on brightly. The leader of the Dark Alliance sat on the throne. He sneered at Gao Xingchen and the others who had barged in, and said, "You're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Stop talking nonsense, today is the day you die!" Gao Xingchen shouted angrily, summoned his pet, and took the lead in attacking. Nanli and Ling'er followed closely behind, and started a fierce battle with the leader of the "Dark Alliance".

The battle was extremely fierce. Although Gao Xingchen and his men were powerful, the leader of the Dark Alliance was, after all, a veteran who had dominated the Nine Star Realm for many years, and his strength was unfathomable. For a time, the two sides were in a stalemate.

At this moment, the leader of the "Dark Alliance" suddenly roared to the sky, and a powerful dark force gushed out from his body, instantly covering the entire hall.

"Oh no, he is going to use a forbidden technique!" Nan Li's face changed drastically and he warned loudly.

Before Gao Xingchen and the others could react, they were swallowed by the dark force. Their eyes went dark and they lost consciousness...

When Gao Xingchen woke up again, he found himself in a strange place. He looked around and found that this was a paradise with birds singing and flowers blooming, green mountains and clear waters in the distance, clusters of flowers nearby, and a fresh scent in the air.

"Where is this?" Gao Xingchen was full of doubts. He tried to mobilize the spiritual power in his body, but found that his spiritual power was completely sealed!

"Xingchen, you're awake!" At this time, Nanli and Ling'er also appeared beside him, their faces also full of confusion and anxiety.

"What's going on? Why are we here?" Gao Xingchen asked.

"I don't know either." Nan Li shook her head, "I was here when I woke up, and my spiritual power was also sealed."

"Could it be... that we are trapped in the illusion of the leader of the 'Dark Alliance'?" Ling'er guessed.

Gao Xingchen's heart trembled. If this was true, then they were in danger! He looked around. This seemingly beautiful paradise might hide deadly dangers...
