Fenggu Zhengyun took out the map, looked at the terrain, and discussed with everyone: "Right now, we are still a distance away from our destination, it would be difficult to reach the meeting point before nightfall.

When they heard that they had to retreat after a long and arduous journey, everyone felt miserable in their hearts. However, for the sake of safety and for the sake of having a good night's sleep for everyone, even though they were unwilling, they had no choice but to muster up their courage and continue moving in the opposite direction.

It was a good thing that they were only fifty miles away. With the strength of their feet, it wouldn't take much effort.

In the dense forest, the Man in Black was still lying there like a stone statue, with a lifeless grey color in his eyes.

The wind was blowing and the leaves were rustling. The setting sun was dyed red; the land was as beautiful as blood. Amidst the misery and desolation, it seemed even more desolate and desolate.

Suddenly, footsteps could be heard, blending in with the wind, adding to the desolate scene.

Was it him?

Hmph, it's hard to change one's nature, you deserve to die.

Celestial Star Sect nine grand elders arrived in formation, walked in front of the three people, and after seeing their dead bodies, they began to inspect the wounds on their bodies.

How about it? After a while, Elder Chi Lie asked.

After carefully inspecting his injuries, Elder Jifeng was silent for a moment before speaking: The technique used was extremely similar to that person's, and there was even a faint trace of demonic energy that had activated 'Heaven Shrouding' that had yet to dissipate.

Overcast … The fish that escaped the net six years ago had appeared again …

This time, she must be here to take revenge on Celestial Star Sect, I think we should temporarily stop this trial, recall everyone, and wait for this matter to be settled before we let them make up for it. Elder Ling Yun said with furrowed brows.

Elder Wu shook his head: "I don't think it's necessary. So what if he comes back?" With the nine of us here, who would be afraid of being unable to deal with him? The trial had started from the moment they left the Heavenly Star Mountain. Bringing them back to the sect now, it was just a waste on the way, not a choice for the higher ups.

Elder Tian Yuan added: "Yes, moreover, the Old Master had also said that the training would be more intense in the future, and there would be more people eliminated during the training. The stronger the opponent, the more potential they would have.

If word of this were to spread, those who do not know who would think that our Celestial Star Sect is afraid of. Celestial Star Sect is the continent's most outstanding academy, and it is looked up to by all the Fighter in the world.

Hearing everyone's words, Elder Ling Yun could only sigh and not express his opinion. All that was left was his tightly furrowed brows, expressing the worry in his heart.

In fact, his worries were not unreasonable. Six years ago, the Celestial Star Sect disciples had been ambushed and they had suffered heavy casualties. That time, it had caused great losses to his Celestial Star Sect.

It was the same thing that happened again. After obtaining information on the mastermind behind the operation, the nine great elders attacked together, and after a few days of bloody battles, they finally destroyed the organization that wanted to destroy Celestial Star Sect.

However, the leader of the organization was a talented expert with many martial spirits. It was rumored that he was the grandson who thought highly of himself and wanted to challenge Celestial Star Sect, but was beaten to death in the end by a single palm strike.

It was said that this person had an extraordinary talent since he was young, and had astounded all the surrounding Fighter. Later on, people even discovered that he had three Martial Spirits in his body.

After hearing this news, an expert hidden in the world had specially come out of his cave to accept him as a disciple. In less than three years, he had surpassed this hidden expert and personally killed him, stealing away all of his possessions. Using this as a foundation, he established an organization called 'Ghost Brake'.

Because the organization appeared and disappeared without a trace, and because it was hard to find its traces, and because the Celestial Star Sect itself was unwilling to bother with the struggles of the outside world, there had been no specific actions to be taken.

Until that operation that caused great loss to the Celestial Star Sect, when the Celestial Star Sect finally launched a frontal counterattack, sending out the nine strongest Elders to wash the 'Ghost Brake' in blood.

In order to protect himself at the time, the Eighteen Pirates was afraid that the Celestial Star Sect would come knocking on his door, so he assigned all of his responsibilities to the 'Ghost Brake' and purposely revealed Ghost Brake's whereabouts and stronghold to the 'Ghost Brake' in exchange for a chance to survive. He also helped Celestial Star Sect set up a trap for 'Ghost Brake' so that they could gather together and let the Celestial Star Sect clear up in one go.

Originally, everything was going smoothly. The nine grand elders combined their powers of the starry sky and set up the 'Extreme Star Rain Formation' to seal off all paths of survival for them. Under the pressure of Cui Tianjiao's formation, the entire 'Ghost Brake' organization was completely annihilated.

Only one person was able to survive the Polar Sky Rain Formation, and that was the leader of the 'Ghost Brake' — Nightmare.

In the instant that the nine Elders withdrew their formation, Nightmare had unleashed Heaven Shrouding Vault to obstruct everyone's line of sight, then launched a bizarre attack.

However, the strength of the nine great elders was not only astounding, but only one of the great elders was accidentally scratched on his clothes. The other great elders were not injured at all, and very quickly, they broke through his' reverence to the sky '.

However, he also took advantage of the moment that Heaven Shrouding Vault was broken and used a bizarre escape technique to escape. After that, he disappeared as if he had vanished from the world, until almost everyone had already forgotten his name.

Most people might forget it, but people with Celestial Star Sect, especially those who had experienced that event, would find it hard to forget it.

Six years ago, for every single trial within the Celestial Star Sect disciples, a senior brother or sister with relatively deep qualifications would be in charge of leading the teams. And after that incident, although everything seemed the same on the surface, the nine elders would always secretly follow him to deal with the most difficult situation when necessary.

However, over the past few years, everything had been peaceful. Especially after the previous display of might, it could be said that almost no one dared to have any thoughts towards Celestial Star Sect.

However, during this trial, the other eight halls had already reunited as scheduled, and only the Lingyun Hall disciples had not arrived yet.

And the path that the Lingyun Hall had chosen for the drawing of lots this time, was precisely the path that had to go through the Lying On The Tiger Hill from the previous incident.

Thus, the various elders rushed over to the Lying On The Tiger Hill area to check. After searching for traces everywhere, they found this place.

However, there aren't many traces of battle here. It should be because of their internal conflict, and our people probably haven't fought with him yet. Elder Kun analyzed.

Winged Tiger Elder nodded his head. If the Lying On The Tiger Hill was impassable, they would definitely head towards the nearest waterway to meet up.

Un, the opponent is in the dark right now. We are in the light now, and before we are certain of the opponent's next move, we should split up and protect him, lest we lose and allow the opponent to take advantage of us. Elder Bluestone said.

Okay, then we'll split into two groups and pay attention to their movements.

Therefore, they divided into two groups, with Ling Yun, Kun Di, Wu Chuan, and Jifeng, the four elders as the group, to secretly protect the disciples of the Lingyun Hall.

As for the remaining disciples such as Long Wu, Chi Lie, Tiger of Wings, Tian Yuan, and Qing Shi, they quickly rushed back to the rendezvous point to protect the remaining eight halls.

The setting sun was silent as it fell into the ocean. The sky and the earth appeared to be shrouded in a gloomy darkness.

The evening breeze brought with it a certain coolness, and the crow, dragging its dry, hoarse throat, flew over the treetops, as if mocking the people who passed by.

He found an open area with a clear view so that the people on duty could have an unrestricted view and be able to detect any intruders in time.

The moon crept up the treetops, bringing light to the people in the darkness.

In order to preserve their physical strength, everyone ate and drank before falling asleep one by one.

Murong Lanyu and Gu Ruoqing had become close friends that could not be separated from each other. They would even sleep together at night.

In order to not affect the Celestial Star Sect trial, Guo Ruo Qing even gave up on the soft and warm carriage. Other than sleeping with Murong Lanyu, she looked like she was even closer to him than a sister.

I was worried that they would fight for you, but I didn't expect them to get along so well. How did you do it? Can you impart me your experience? Fenggu Zhengyun patted Li Qingniu's shoulder, and said with a smile.

Experience? I don't have much experience, and I don't know how their relationship became so good, but why does Senior Martial Brother think that they would start a fight? Li Qingniu asked with a puzzled expression.

Fenggu Zhengyun sighed: Because of you, you still don't understand, could it be that only the foolish have good fortune? Sigh, why is it that no one likes someone as elegant, handsome and handsome as me?

Maybe because he felt that the danger had been lifted, he could relax a little. Now, Fenggu Zhengyun had changed back to her previous playful and disrespectful look.

The Senior Martial Brother joked. In his family, those who pursued Senior Martial Brother's martial arts were at least three blocks long. Li Qingniu said with a sincere face.

Heh, you brat are a bit slow, but your mouth is still quite sweet. Forget it, I don't need you to comfort me. Fang Gu Zheng Yun shook his head and laughed bitterly.

After pausing for a moment, he said seriously, "I'll leave this to you. I'll come for you in the later half of the night. If anything happens, come and get me immediately. Don't act on your own accord, lest you fall into the trap of someone who wants to do something."

Got it, Senior Brother. Li Qingniu said as he nodded his head.

Fenggu Zhengyun acknowledged her, then turned and went to sleep.

Other than Li Qingniu, everyone else had already fallen asleep. He stood alone under the full moon, looking up at the starry sky.

Looking at the brightest stars in the sky, there was a strange sense of familiarity. Familiar faces emerged from the stars one after another.

Grandma Long, Grandpa Quezi, Blind Crutch, Medicinal Residue, Master … Also, Great Black Cow at the entrance of the village, don't worry, I will definitely become someone who can surpass you. Because, until I can surpass you, then I will have a chance to defeat that person and reunite with you again. Li Qingniu quietly made a decision in his heart.

Through the people and things he had constantly interacted with during this period of time, as well as the things he had heard about the The Ten Most Powerful Experts Under The Starry Sky from them, Li Qingniu finally began to gradually learn the true identities of the people in the Grandma Long, as well as the glorious past.
