Chapter 32 The clouds are clearing and the moon is bright
Gao Xingchen looked at the mysterious old man's back as he left, his heart filled with awe and confusion. Who was this old man? Why did he know all the secrets of the star field? And what was the origin of the power hidden behind the Lin family? A series of questions circled in his mind, making him feel that the road ahead was full of fog.
"What are you thinking about?" Nan Li's cold voice interrupted his thoughts.
Gao Xingchen came back to his senses, and looking at the cold and beautiful woman in front of him, a warm feeling surged in his heart. "I was thinking about what the senior said. He said that there is a more powerful force behind the Lin family, and we must be careful to deal with it."
Nan Li nodded slightly, a cold light flashed in her deep eyes, "Lin Feng is just a chess piece, the real black hand controlling all this is still hiding in the dark. We must find out the truth as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
Based on the clues provided by the old man, the two began to investigate the Lin family in depth. They visited shops that had business dealings with the Lin family, secretly observed the activities of the Lin family members, and even ventured into the Lin family mansion to look for clues.
After a hard investigation, they finally found some clues. It turned out that the Lin family secretly colluded with an evil organization called "Netherworld Cult", using the resources of the sect to provide convenience for them, and even participated in many incidents of killing innocent people.
"The Netherworld Sect?!" Gao Xingchen frowned. He had seen this name in ancient books. It was said to be an evil organization that practiced evil magic and endangered the people. Thousands of years ago, it had set off a bloody storm and was later wiped out by the righteous people. Unexpectedly, this evil organization revived and even reached out to their sect.
"It seems that the enemy we are facing this time is far more powerful than we imagined." Nan Li said solemnly, "We must inform the headmaster and other elders of this matter as soon as possible and join forces to fight against the Netherworld Sect, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
They informed Elder Zhang of the results of their investigation, who flew into a rage upon hearing the news and immediately decided to gather all the masters of the sect to wipe out the Netherworld Cult's lair in one fell swoop.
"First there was the Shadow Pavilion and the Demon Cult, and now there is the Netherworld Cult. The Lin family is really afraid of death and has found so many backers. This operation is of no trivial matter. We must formulate a careful plan to ensure that there are no mistakes." Elder Zhang said seriously.
A secret operation against the Netherworld Cult is quietly underway...
It was a dark and windy night, full of dangers.
According to the plan, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li led an elite team and quietly sneaked into the main altar of the Netherworld Cult - an ancient altar hidden in the deep mountains and old forests. Under the cover of night, there were gusts of cold wind around the altar, and the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling were endless, which was creepy.
"Be careful, there are Netherworld Cult's spies everywhere here." Nan Li reminded in a low voice, and with a flash of cold light in his hand, a sharp dagger quietly slid into his palm.
Gao Xingchen nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. He circulated the true energy in his body, hiding his aura perfectly in the night, like a nimble cheetah, shuttling in the shadows.
With their extraordinary skills and tacit cooperation, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li avoided the heavy guards and quietly sneaked into the altar. As soon as they entered, a strong smell of blood hit their noses, making them sick. With the weak light of the fire, they saw a huge pool of blood in the center of the altar, emitting a chilling glow. Around the pool of blood, dozens of corpses were lying in all directions, obviously innocent people who had just been killed.
"Damn it!" Gao Xingchen clenched his fists, his eyes burning with anger. He finally understood why the ancient books described the Netherworld Cult as an extremely evil organization. The scene before him was a hundred times more cruel than he had imagined.
"Don't be impulsive. Our mission is to save people and find evidence of the Netherworld Cult's collusion with the Lin family." Nan Li analyzed calmly and reached out to hold Gao Xingchen who was about to rush out.
Gao Xingchen took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. He knew that now was not the time to act rashly. The two continued to go deeper and finally found the imprisoned survivors in a secret room, as well as evidence of the Netherworld Cult's collusion with the Lin family.
A fierce battle was inevitable. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li joined forces to fight a desperate battle with the Netherworld Cult masters who came after hearing the news. In the midst of the flashing swords and shadows, Gao Xingchen showed amazing strength. He used the skills he learned from the mysterious old man to the fullest extent. Each move contained the power to destroy the world. The minions of the Netherworld Cult were like chickens and dogs in front of him, and they were vulnerable.
In the end, the Netherworld Sect's main altar was destroyed, most of the followers were wiped out, and only a few escaped. The innocent people who were imprisoned were rescued, and they looked at Gao Xingchen and Nan Li with eyes full of gratitude and admiration.
When the news reached the Star Region, it immediately caused an uproar. People could never have imagined that the Lin family, who had always been righteous, would actually collude with the evil Netherworld Cult and do such a heinous thing. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li became heroes in everyone's mind, and their deeds were widely praised.
However, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li knew that this was just the beginning. Although the Netherworld Cult had suffered a heavy blow, the mastermind behind the incident was still at large. They had to continue to investigate and completely eradicate this evil organization to prevent future troubles.
The star field seemed to have returned to peace, but in fact, undercurrents were surging...
The news of the destruction of the Netherworld Sect spread across the star field like a spring breeze, and the haze that had originally shrouded people's hearts also dissipated. After experiencing the test of life and death, the major sects in the star field united unprecedentedly, supporting each other in the process of rebuilding their homes, and a thriving scene.
The sect that was once devastated is now completely renovated. The broken walls have been repaired, and the disciples, led by Junior Sister Chu, actively participate in the reconstruction work. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li are busy comforting the frightened people and guiding them to rebuild their homes.
"Senior Brother Xingchen, look, this is some new pastry I made, please try it." Junior Sister Chu brought a plate of exquisite pastries and walked up to Gao Xingchen, who was instructing his disciples in their practice. Her cheeks were slightly flushed and her eyes were full of anticipation.
Gao Xingchen took the cake and said with a smile: "Junior Sister Chu, you have worked hard. This cake is so beautifully made. It must be delicious."
Nan Li, who was standing by, looked at the two of them, her lips slightly raised, a barely perceptible smile flashing across her eyes. She walked over to Gao Xingchen, picked up a piece of pastry, took a bite, and praised, "Well, it tastes really good. Junior Sister Chu's cooking skills are really getting better and better."
Junior Sister Chu was delighted by the compliment, but she pretended to be reserved and said, "Senior Sister Nanli, you are too kind. As long as you like it, it's good."
The three of them smiled at each other, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
It was late at night and the world was still. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li walked side by side on a mountain path. The moonlight poured down like water, making their figures look particularly slender.
"Xingchen, have you ever thought about what we will do in the future?" Nanli broke the silence and asked softly.
"Protect the sect, protect the star field, and protect everything we cherish." Gao Xingchen answered without hesitation, his tone firm and powerful.
Nan Li turned her head to look at Gao Xingchen. Under the moonlight, his profile looked particularly handsome, and his eyes were full of determination and tenderness, which made her feel extremely at ease.
"Well, let's protect it together." Nan Li leaned lightly on Gao Xingchen's shoulder, feeling his warmth and strength.
However, just when everything seemed to be settled, a new challenge quietly arrived.
One day, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li found an old secret book while sorting out the library. There was no text on the cover of the secret book, only a mysterious pattern, exuding an ancient and powerful aura.
"This secret book... doesn't seem simple." Gao Xingchen frowned slightly, and had a vague premonition in his heart that the appearance of this secret book would completely change their fate...
