Chapter 14836 You're looking for me?
The Chaotic Star Alliance believes it never shows favoritism and never invites extra trouble for itself... This is the foundation upon which they have been able to establish themselves in the Chaotic Martial World for many years.
……
The headquarters of the Chaotic Star Alliance is located on the main peak of the Chaotic Star Mountain Range.
This peak is eight thousand feet high, piercing the clouds, and its summit is surrounded by a sea of clouds all year round.
Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, ancient pavilions are built against the mountainside, arranged in a staggered and orderly manner. Standing atop them, one feels as if immersed in a sea of clouds in the heavens, exuding an ethereal and otherworldly aura, yet also revealing a sense of mystery and majesty.
At this moment, at the highest point of the Chaotic Star Alliance... at the top of the Star Gazing Pavilion, an old man dressed in a star-patterned robe sat upright in front of a stone table, gently fiddling with an ancient bronze compass.
The compass was covered with intricate star patterns and runes, with faint starlight flowing around it. The old man was chanting incantations, and the obscure and difficult-to-understand spells were slowly transmitted into the void with the movement of his fingertips, drawing upon the stellar power between heaven and earth.
This person is none other than Xing Wuji, the leader of the Chaotic Star Alliance.
He was proficient in astrological calculations and intelligence gathering, and his compass calculations were so advanced that he could deduce the traces of all things from the slightest clues.
Beside Xing Wuji stood an elderly man with white hair, dressed in a black elder's robe, with a solemn face and a steady aura. He was none other than the Great Elder of the Chaotic Star Alliance, Beiji Tian.
He is also Xing Wuji's most capable assistant, in charge of the daily affairs and intelligence gathering of the Chaotic Star Alliance.
A moment later, Xing Wuji suddenly stopped moving his fingertips, and the incantation he was chanting also stopped.
The bronze compass suddenly began to tremble slightly, and the pointer at the center of the compass spun wildly.
Immediately afterwards, a pale blue light screen slowly condensed in front of the compass, but the scene within the light screen was blurry and chaotic, with only a vague outline of a desolate landscape visible.
Seeing this, Beijitian quickly stepped forward, lowered his voice, and asked urgently, "Alliance Leader, how is it? Have you deduced Xiao Lianzhu's whereabouts?"
Xing Wuji stared intently at the blurry light screen and said calmly, "It's almost there. The star power has already locked onto the approximate location. After a few more moments of deduction, we will be able to see the specific scene and find Xiao Lianzhu's whereabouts."
A look of worry appeared on Beiji Tian's face, his brows furrowed tightly, and he softly advised:
"Alliance Leader, I heard that Ling Xiao values Xiao Lianzhu highly, regarding her as his own life."
If we help the Silent Court find Xiao Lianzhu, it will be tantamount to offending Ling Xiao, which may bring disaster to the Chaotic Star Alliance.
As you know, Ling Xiao now has the Holy Rune Academy behind him, and the strength of the Holy Rune Academy is something we cannot contend with.
Holy Emblem Academy.
Upon hearing these four words, a hint of solemnity flashed in Xing Wuji's eyes, and he slowly nodded:
“I know that the Holy Rune Academy is protecting Ling Xiao, and I am also aware of how profound the Holy Rune Academy's foundation is, which is something that our Chaotic Star Alliance can not afford to provoke.”
But don't forget, our Chaotic Star Alliance is too close to the Silent Annihilation Court. We both know the strength of the Silent Annihilation Court.
"If we don't make our stance clear and don't help them with this, do you think the Silent Court, given Zhang Xuanyi's personality, will tolerate us being a thorn in their side?"
Beiji Tian frowned even more deeply, his tone tinged with resentment:
"But our Chaotic Star Alliance has never gotten involved in these power struggles, only dealing in intelligence. This is the foundation upon which we have been able to stand for so many years. If we get involved now, and end up getting burned, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Xing Wuji sighed softly, his tone tinged with helplessness yet also revealing a resolute determination:
That was before.
In the current chaotic martial arts world, the situation is turbulent, and various forces are eager to make their moves. Those who want to remain aloof cannot escape the chaos.
"But you don't need to worry too much. We don't need to get too involved. We're just pointing the way for the Silent Court and providing information on Xiao Lianzhu's whereabouts. It doesn't count as truly being an enemy of Lingxiao or the Holy Rune Academy, does it?"
Beiji Tian fell silent. He knew that Xing Wuji was right; given the current situation, they had no choice.
Either offend the Silent Court or offend the Lingxiao; between two evils, choose the lesser and guide the Silent Court—undoubtedly the safest option.
He sighed softly, said nothing more, and stood silently to the side, gazing at the blurry light screen.
Xing Wuji smiled again, his tone now tinged with greed: "Besides, the reward offered by the Silent Extinction Court is truly generous, enough to elevate the strength of our Chaotic Star Alliance to another level. This deal is well worth it."
Just as Beijitian was about to speak and urge Xing Wuji to reconsider, the pale blue light screen in front of him suddenly trembled violently. The chaotic scene gradually became clear, slowly revealing a desolate wasteland...
The withered yellow grass, the twisted dead trees, and the gray sky exuded an indescribable eeriness and deathly stillness.
Upon seeing this desolate wasteland, Xing Wuji frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. He murmured to himself, "Where... is this? Why does it look so familiar? It's like I've seen it somewhere before?"
The light screen continued to advance, and the image became clearer and clearer. Soon, deep in the wasteland, an ancient stone gate slowly appeared in the light screen. Strange runes were engraved on the stone gate, exuding a sinister and cold aura.
The moment Xing Wuji and Beiji Tian saw the stone door clearly, their expressions changed drastically, their pupils contracted, and they could no longer maintain their composure, exclaiming in shock, "A town in the underworld?! Heavens, how could this be!"
A town in the underworld!
These four words, like a thunderclap, exploded in their ears, sending chills down their spines and making their scalps tingle.
They knew all too well what this place meant...
That was one of the most terrifying and bizarre places in the Chaotic Martial World, a forbidden area that even the major transcendent forces dared not easily set foot in. The mayor of the Underworld Town was the most untouchable of the eight strongest figures in the Chaotic Martial World.
Xing Wuji was terrified and could no longer care about deducing Xiao Lianzhu's whereabouts. He hurriedly reached out, trying to put away the bronze compass in his hand and stop the deduction...
He never expected that Xiao Lianzhu would be hiding in the underworld town. This was simply courting death and pushing their Chaotic Star Alliance into an abyss of no return.
Just as his fingertips were about to touch the compass, a figure suddenly appeared in the light screen.
a woman.
She wore a pure black long dress, her long hair reached her waist, her skin was so white it was almost transparent, and her eyes were as black as ink, unfathomable.
It lacked any vitality, yet exuded a suffocating coldness and majesty, as if it could see through people's hearts and devour all life.
The woman stood quietly before the stone gate, her head slightly tilted, her gaze piercing through the light barrier, as if looking directly at the boundless stars and the North Pole at the top of the Star Gazing Pavilion.
Her tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority as she slowly spoke: "You're looking for me?"
The moment the words fell, Xing Wuji felt an overwhelming dark pressure instantly engulf the entire Star Gazing Pavilion.
His legs buckled, and he could no longer support himself. He knelt down, his whole body trembling violently, his teeth chattering, unable to utter a complete sentence. He could only beg for mercy with a sob in his voice.
