Chapter 97 Smoke filled the air
The figure of the Dark Alliance leader disappeared in the air like a ghost, leaving only a cold whisper echoing in the air: "Gao Xingchen, this is just the beginning..." Before he finished speaking, those members of the Dark Alliance who had been fearless of death also retreated quickly like the tide and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
On the Justice League side, everyone was originally full of vigor and was ready to seize the opportunity to pursue and annihilate the Dark Alliance in one fell swoop, but they did not expect such a change to happen. They looked at each other, at a loss for a moment.
"Oh no, we've fallen into a trap!" Gao Xingchen was the first to react, his face suddenly turned very ugly. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Qingfeng Pavilion, only to see a mess there, thick smoke billowing, screams and wails were heard everywhere, it was obvious that they had been killed by the Dark Alliance.
"All Qingfeng Pavilion disciples, listen up, treat the wounded immediately and count the losses!" Gao Xingchen suppressed his anger and calmly gave the order. He knew that now was not the time to pursue responsibility. The most urgent task was to treat the wounded and stabilize the situation to prevent the enemy from attacking again.
Nan Li quickly came to Gao Xingchen, her beautiful eyes full of worry: "Xingchen, what should we do now? The Dark Alliance is coming with great force, and it is obvious that they are well prepared. We..."
Gao Xingchen took a deep breath and said with a firm look: "Li'er, don't worry, I know what I am doing. They were despicable this time, but next time, I will never let them have the chance to harm Qingfeng Pavilion again!"
After saying that, he no longer hesitated and immediately led everyone to Qingfeng Pavilion.
Inside Qingfeng Pavilion, the once solemn and dignified building is now in ruins, with broken walls and ruins everywhere. The air is filled with a strong smell of blood and burnt smell, which is nauseating.
"Quick! Save people!"
"Pills! Bring me the pills!"
"..."
The disciples of Qingfeng Pavilion were treating the wounded in a tense and orderly manner. Some of them were still injured, but they had no time to treat them. They still gritted their teeth and persisted, their eyes full of grief and anger.
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li quickly joined the team to treat the wounded. They used their powerful strength to help those seriously injured disciples stabilize their injuries, and distributed pills to minimize casualties.
After some intensive treatment, the condition of the injured was finally under control. Gao Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief and began to investigate the cause and course of the incident.
"Xuanfeng, take your men to count the losses and see if there are any fish that have escaped the net." Gao Xingchen ordered.
"Yes, boss!" Xuanfeng took the order and left. While directing his men to count the number of people, he carefully observed the surrounding environment, trying to find some clues.
"Huh? What is this?" Suddenly, Xuanfeng found some strange traces in a corner. He squatted down and looked carefully, and found that these traces looked like part of some formation.
"Could it be..." Xuanfeng's heart moved, as if he thought of something, and he immediately told Gao Xingchen his discovery.
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li rushed to the scene, carefully examined the traces, and their faces suddenly became solemn.
"These traces are indeed part of a formation, and it is a very ancient teleportation formation." Nan Li said in a deep voice, "It seems that the Dark Alliance's goal this time is not to destroy Qingfeng Pavilion, but..."
Having said this, Nan Li suddenly stopped, a trace of fear flashed in her beautiful eyes, as if she realized something terrible.
"What is it?" Gao Xingchen asked.
Nan Li took a deep breath and said slowly: "Their real target may be... the heart of the star field!"
"The Heart of the Star Realm?" Gao Xingchen frowned. He was familiar with this name. It was the core that controlled the power of the entire Nine Star Realm, and it contained endless energy. If it fell into the hands of the Dark Alliance, the consequences would be disastrous!
"Li'er, are you sure?" Gao Xingchen's voice was filled with a hint of disbelief, "Isn't the Heart of the Star Domain a legend? Does it really exist?"
Nan Li nodded solemnly: "I once saw a record about the Heart of the Star Domain in an ancient book. The pattern described there is very similar to these traces. It should be correct."
Gao Xingchen's heart sank. If this was true, then things would be troublesome. The Dark Alliance leader's strength was unfathomable. If he got the Heart of the Star Domain, the entire Nine Star Realm would be doomed!
"We must find him as soon as possible and stop this from happening!" Gao Xingchen said in a firm tone, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.
"But we don't have any clues now, how can we find it?" Xuanfeng said anxiously.
"The clues are in these traces." Ling'er, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. "Although these traces are incomplete, they should be some kind of special symbols. Perhaps we can infer the whereabouts of the leader of the Dark Alliance from them."
Ling'er is worthy of being Nanli's best friend, she is thoughtful and observant. Although she is not good at fighting, she has a high talent in medicine and formation, especially in various Qimen Dunjia.
"Ling'er, can you see anything?" Nan Li asked hurriedly.
Ling'er didn't say anything, but squatted down, took out a pair of gloves as thin as a cicada's wing from her arms and put them on, then carefully touched the marks, frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.
As time passed, beads of sweat gradually appeared on Ling'er's forehead, but she still did not give up. She concentrated on studying those traces, trying to find a clue from them.
"How is it? Any findings?" Gao Xingchen asked anxiously.
Ling'er shook her head slowly and sighed: "These symbols are very ancient. I can't fully interpret them for the time being, but..."
"But what?" everyone asked in unison.
Ling'er raised her head, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes: "I feel that these symbols contain a very powerful spatial force. Perhaps... they did not leave the Nine Star Realm, but went to another space!"
Ling'er's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears. Another dimension? How is this possible? The Nine Star Realm is already vast and boundless, is there another dimension?
Gao Xingchen frowned, his heart full of doubts and uneasiness. If the Dark Alliance really hid in another dimension, how could they find them? And how could they stop their conspiracy?
"Ling'er, are you sure? Is there really another space?" There was a hint of disbelief in Gao Xingchen's voice.
Ling'er nodded and said affirmatively: "Although I can't fully interpret these symbols, I can be sure that they are definitely related to the power of space. Moreover, I have a hunch that the leader of the Dark Alliance has not left the Nine Star Realm. He is somewhere we don't know, planning a bigger conspiracy!"
Gao Xingchen took a deep breath and suppressed the uneasiness in his heart. He knew that now was not the time to doubt. The most urgent task was to find the leader of the Dark Alliance as soon as possible and stop all his actions.
"Everyone," Gao Xingchen glanced at everyone present and said in a deep voice, "The threat from the Dark Alliance has not been resolved yet. We must not take it lightly. I propose that we unite all the forces of justice to fight against the Dark Alliance together. We must not let them succeed!"
Gao Xingchen's proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone present. As one of the largest justice forces in the Nine Star Realm, Qingfeng Pavilion has always been committed to maintaining peace and justice and fighting against evil forces. Now that the Dark Alliance has made a comeback, they will naturally not sit idly by.
"On behalf of the Tianjian Sect, I agree to the joint action!" A middle-aged man wearing a green robe and carrying a sword on his back stood up and said. He is an elder of the Tianjian Sect with great strength and prestige.
"On behalf of the Star Pavilion, I agree to the joint action!"
"On behalf of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, I agree to the joint action!"
……
For a time, people were excited and all major forces expressed their willingness to unite with Qingfeng Pavilion to fight against the Dark Alliance.
Gao Xingchen looked at the scene in front of him, his heart filled with hope and strength. He knew that as long as everyone united as one, they would be able to defeat the darkness and protect the peace of the Nine Star Realm!
Just as everyone was preparing to discuss a specific action plan, a disciple from Qingfeng Pavilion ran in hurriedly, looking panicked.
"Report! Pavilion Master, there is urgent information!"
"What's the matter? Tell me slowly." Gao Xingchen asked in a deep voice.
The disciple took a deep breath, calmed down his panic, and said, "We just received news that the leader of the Dark Alliance seems to be looking for a divine weapon, and..."
"And what?" Gao Xingchen's heart skipped a beat and a bad premonition came to his mind.
"Moreover, according to intelligence, that artifact seems to have some close connection with the Heart of the Star Domain!"
The whole audience was shocked when these words came out. The Heart of the Star Domain had already fallen into the hands of the Dark Alliance. If they were to get the artifacts related to it, the consequences would be disastrous!
Gao Xingchen's face turned pale. He knew that time was running out and they had to find the leader of the Dark Alliance as soon as possible to stop his conspiracy, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!
At this moment, an old man in a gray robe and with white hair quietly appeared in front of everyone. His eyes were deep, as if he could see through everything.
"I know the whereabouts of that artifact, and I also know how to stop the Dark Alliance..." The old man spoke slowly, with a hint of mystery in his tone.
