Chapter 270 The situation improves
"Want to leave? Not so easy!" Wang Hufa's grim smile echoed in the empty hall, his tone full of threats. He was surrounded by black air, and it was obvious that he was ready for a fight.
Gao Xingchen and Elder Wu looked at each other, and there was no fear in their eyes, but instead they were burning with fighting spirit. They knew the importance of this battle, which was not only related to their own life and death, but also to the safety of the entire star field.
"Xingchen, I'll hold him back, you take the things and go find Miss Nanli!" Elder Wu said in a deep voice. He knew that he was old and his strength was far inferior to his peak, but in order to protect Gao Xingchen, he was willing to fight to the death.
"Elder Wu, you..." Gao Xingchen wanted to say something but was interrupted by Elder Wu.
"This is an order!" Elder Wu said firmly, leaving no room for doubt. He took a deep breath, and the cane in his hand suddenly shook. A powerful aura burst out from his body, and he was actually competing with Protector Wang.
Gao Xingchen knew that this was not the time to hesitate, so he nodded solemnly, put the five magic items in his arms, and turned to run deep into the castle. Seeing this, Guardian Wang wanted to chase after him, but was tightly entangled by Elder Wu.
"Your opponent is me!" Elder Wu roared, and the cane in his hand turned into a flash of lightning, going straight to the face of Protector Wang. Protector Wang snorted coldly, without dodging, he directly swung his palm to meet the attack.
boom!
With a loud bang, two powerful forces collided with each other, causing a violent wave of air that shook the entire hall. Elder Wu was unsteady and took a few steps back, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. And Protector Wang was not feeling well either, his sleeves were shattered, and a burnt mark appeared on his arm.
"Old man, you are quite capable!" A hint of surprise flashed across Wang Hufa's eyes, but it was soon replaced by murderous intent. "But do you think you can stop me like this? Today, you will all die!"
As soon as Wang Hufa finished speaking, he launched another attack, and fierce palm winds whistled out, attacking Elder Wu like a violent storm. Elder Wu endured the injury, waved his crutches, and struggled to resist Wang Hufa's attack.
……
At the same time, Gao Xingchen ran all the way and finally came to the deepest part of the castle. There was a beautiful garden. Nan Li was standing in the middle of the garden, anxiously waiting for his arrival.
"Xingchen, are you okay?" Seeing that Gao Xingchen was safe and sound, Nan Li finally felt relieved.
"I'm fine. Elder Wu is holding Protector Wang back. Let's quickly activate the magic circle and completely control the power of the ruins!" Gao Xingchen said as he took out five magic items and handed them to Nan Li.
Nanli took the magic items and placed them one by one on the magic circle in the center of the garden. As the last magic item was put back in place, the whole garden was bathed in a dazzling golden light. Nanli closed her eyes, formed seals with her hands, and muttered something. An ancient and mysterious power surged out of her body and was injected into the magic circle.
The next moment, the magic circle shone brightly, and five beams of light of different colors shot up into the sky. The entire ruins began to tremble violently, as if cheering and welcoming the arrival of a new life.
Feeling the changes in the ruins, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li both showed gratified smiles on their faces. They knew that they succeeded and they finally controlled this powerful force.
At this moment, several figures appeared at the entrance of the garden. They were the head of the Nan family, several elders, and Granny Zhao who had hurried over. Seeing that Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were safe and sound, everyone showed a look of relief on their faces.
"Xingchen, Nanli, you've worked hard." The Nan family leader walked up to the two of them, his eyes full of admiration. He knew that this time they were able to escape danger thanks to the efforts of Gao Xingchen and Nanli.
"This is what we should do." Gao Xingchen and Nan Li said modestly.
"Yes, you are both good children." Granny Zhao looked at the two of them kindly, her eyes full of satisfaction. "I believe that you will be able to overcome all difficulties and protect the peace of the star field."
The head of the Nan family looked around, watching the ruins gradually return to peace, and his heart was filled with emotion. He knew that although the crisis had been resolved, greater challenges were still ahead. He looked at Gao Xingchen and Nan Li, his eyes full of expectation.
"Xingchen, Nanli, we still have a long way to go..."
The head of the Nan family looked at the two young men in front of him with satisfaction. They carried the hope of the entire star region, yet they were so humble and polite. He nodded and said solemnly: "Xingchen, Nanli, thanks to you this time, we were able to escape danger. On behalf of the Nan family, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you."
Gao Xingchen waved his hand quickly, "Uncle Nan, you are too kind. Protecting the star field is everyone's responsibility."
Nan Li also nodded slightly to show her agreement.
"Good, good!" The Nan family leader laughed loudly. "Xingchen, you are so young, but you have such strength and responsibility. In time, you will become a great man! I have decided that from today on, the Nan family and the Gao family will form the closest alliance to fight against the mysterious forces and protect the peace of the star field!"
Gao Xingchen was shocked when he heard this. He knew that this was not just a union of two families, but also a symbol of the future direction of the star field. He nodded solemnly, "Uncle Nan, rest assured, I, Gao Xingchen, will do my best to live up to your expectations!"
Nan Li also cast a determined look. She knew that from now on, she and Gao Xingchen would fight side by side, and their destinies were closely linked.
In the next few days, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li stayed in the Nan family to help repair the damaged ruins and further study the secrets in the ruins. During this time, they spent time together day and night, and their understanding of each other became deeper.
In the early morning, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li walked side by side in the garden, bathing in the warm sunshine and feeling the rare tranquility. Nan Li was dressed in white, like a fairy under the moon, cool and unworldly. Gao Xingchen was dressed in green, handsome and tall, with a look of confidence and determination in his eyes.
"Xingchen, what are your plans next?" Nanli asked softly, breaking the momentary silence.
"I plan to go into seclusion for a while, practice hard, and improve my strength." Gao Xingchen answered without hesitation. He knew that only by becoming stronger could he protect his loved ones and safeguard the peace of the star field.
Nan Li nodded, "Well, I also need to seize the time to practice and strive to break through the bottleneck as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, we will become stronger together." Gao Xingchen looked at Nan Li, his eyes full of tenderness and determination.
Nanli smiled slightly, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
At the same time, Elder Wu was studying an ancient book in a secret room deep in the ruins. This book recorded the origin of the ruins and the method of controlling the power of the ruins. While flipping through the book, Elder Wu was thinking about how to help Gao Xingchen improve his strength.
"Xingchen is gifted. If he can be blessed with the power of the ruins, his strength will surely improve by leaps and bounds!" Elder Wu's eyes gleamed, and he already had a plan in mind...
A few days later, Elder Wu found Gao Xingchen who was practicing with a happy look on his face.
"Xingchen, I have found a way to use the power of the ruins to help you quickly improve your strength!" Elder Wu said excitedly, with wisdom flashing in his eyes.
Gao Xingchen was delighted when he heard this, and asked quickly, "Elder Wu, what is the method?"
Elder Wu pointed to a secret room deep in the ruins and explained, "This secret room contains extremely pure star power, and it also contains the cultivation insights of ancient strongmen. You can practice in it for a while, and I believe you will gain a lot."
After Gao Xingchen heard this, his heart was filled with anticipation. He bowed deeply to Elder Wu and said, "Thank you, Elder Wu!"
Under the guidance of Elder Wu, Gao Xingchen came to the secret room. As soon as he entered the secret room, he felt a strong force of star energy coming towards him, and the star energy in his body became active. He sat cross-legged and began to absorb the star energy in the secret room, and felt the cultivation experience of the ancient strongmen.
As time went by, Gao Xingchen devoted himself to cultivation in the secret room, and his strength improved by leaps and bounds. His star power became more powerful, and his control over the star power became more exquisite. Finally, after an epiphany, he broke through his own bottleneck and successfully advanced to a higher realm.
When Gao Xingchen walked out of the secret room, he seemed to be reborn, emitting a powerful aura.
"Congratulations Xingchen, your strength has reached a new level!" Nanli came forward, his eyes full of joy and admiration.
"This is all thanks to the help of Elder Wu." Gao Xingchen said modestly. He knew that without Elder Wu's guidance, he would not have been able to make such great progress in such a short period of time.
At this moment, Granny Zhao hurried over and said solemnly, "Xingchen, Nanli, I just got news that the mysterious forces have been active recently and seem to be brewing a bigger conspiracy."
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li also turned serious when they heard this. They knew that as long as the mysterious force was not eliminated, the star field would never be at peace.
"Granny Zhao, do you know what their specific plans are?" Gao Xingchen asked.
Granny Zhao shook her head. "The specific plan is still unclear, but I'm worried that their goal this time may no longer be limited to the star field."
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at each other, and both felt a little heavy in their hearts. They realized that the burden on their shoulders was heavier, and they had to be fully prepared to face the next challenge.
As the ruins stabilized, the surrounding residents gradually returned to their normal lives. The courage and strength shown by Gao Xingchen and Nan Li in this incident also earned them a high reputation in the local area. People expressed their gratitude and admiration for them, which laid a good foundation for their future actions.
However, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li both knew that this was just the calm before the storm. What exactly is the conspiracy of the mysterious force? How should they deal with it? All of this is still unknown...
