Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 376 Guidance on the Maze

Tianxing City was still prosperous, with a constant flow of traffic and people. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li walked hurriedly, which was out of tune with the lively scene. They clenched the jade pendants in their hands, feeling extremely anxious.

Following the old man's instructions, they found the president of the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce, a shrewd and capable middle-aged man. The president carefully examined the jade pendant, and then looked at the two of them, and then slowly said: "Two young heroes, I am willing to lend a helping hand at the request of an old friend. But..."

He paused, his expression becoming serious. "The Blood Demon Alliance is a huge force, and its roots are deep-rooted. It is not easy to completely eradicate it. Even if I put all my efforts into the Chamber of Commerce, I may not be able to guarantee a foolproof outcome."

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at each other. They understood that the president's concerns were not unreasonable, but there was no way out at this moment.

"President, don't worry. We don't want to confront the Blood Demon Alliance head-on. We just want to protect the safety of our family." Gao Xingchen said in a deep voice, "As long as we can buy time, we will have ways to deal with them!"

Seeing that the two had made up their minds, the president stopped trying to dissuade them and immediately assembled a team of elite guards to escort them back to the family.

However, when they rushed back to their family exhausted, the scene before them made them feel heartbroken.

The once prosperous family was now in ruins. Blazing fires shot up into the sky, thick smoke billowed, screams and sounds of fighting were heard, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

"No!" Nan Li let out a cry of grief, and her beautiful eyes turned red in an instant.

Gao Xingchen held her hand tightly and said through gritted teeth: "Li'er, calm down! What we need to do now is to save people!"

After saying that, he drew out his long sword and rushed into the battlefield first. Nan Li followed closely behind, the long whip in his hand flying like a venomous snake, reaping the lives of enemies one after another.

The family members had originally despaired, but when they saw Gao Xingchen and Nan Li appear, it was like seeing the dawn of hope. Their morale was boosted and they fought bravely.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li fought their way to the family square, only to see an old man being besieged by several Blood Evil League masters in a dangerous situation.

"Father!" Gao Xingchen recognized at a glance that it was his father - the head of the Gao family.

"Xingchen, you're back!" When the Gao family leader saw his son, a hint of relief flashed across his old eyes, but was soon replaced by worry, "Let's go! It's too dangerous here!"

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" A Blood Evil League master grinned, swung the giant axe in his hand, and chopped at Gao Xingchen's head.

"Xingchen, be careful!" The head of the Gao family exclaimed, but was powerless to stop it.

At the critical moment, Nan Li wrapped his whip around the giant axe and pulled it hard, taking the master away from the spot. Gao Xingchen took the opportunity to rush forward and stood back to back with his father to resist the enemy's attack together.

"Xingchen, Li'er, you are finally back!" Not far away, a thin-faced old man came over. It was the family elder, Elder Zhao. He held a long sword in his hand. Although he was old, his swordsmanship was still sharp. He killed the approaching enemies one by one.

"Elder Zhao!" Gao Xingchen and Nan Li shouted in unison.

"Children, don't worry, we will definitely get through this!" Elder Zhao said in a deep voice. Although his voice was not loud, it was particularly clear and powerful in the chaotic battlefield.

With the addition of Gao Xingchen and Nan Li, the morale of the family members was greatly boosted, and the battle situation gradually stabilized. However, the strength of the Blood Evil Alliance should not be underestimated, and the battle was still extremely fierce...

…Swords clashed, flames shot up into the sky, the Gao family leader and Elder Zhao fought side by side. They were experienced in many battles and had sophisticated swordsmanship. Every time they attacked, they took the life of an enemy. The Gao family leader's hair and beard stood up, and he roared: "Gao family members, listen to my order. Even if you have to fight to the last drop of blood today, you must defend your homeland!"

"We will defend our homeland to the death!" The Gao family members roared in unison, their voices shaking the earth. There was a blazing fire in their eyes, which was the love for their homeland and the hatred for the invaders.

Elder Zhao was agile, and his sword danced like a snake, killing the approaching enemies one by one. While fighting, he shouted loudly: "Children, don't be afraid! Evil cannot defeat good, we will definitely win the final victory!"

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li fought hard in the crowd. They cooperated well and their swordsmanship was sharp. Wherever they passed, the enemies fell one after another. Gao Xingchen's eyes were like torches, and every swing of his sword was with the force of thunder and lightning, while Nan Li was as light as a swallow, and his long whip danced like a venomous snake, harvesting the lives of enemies one after another.

Just when the battle was at a stalemate, a sinister voice suddenly sounded: "Gao Xingchen, do you really think you can win? Today is the day you die!"

Gao Xingchen looked in the direction of the sound and saw Master Sun holding a long sword and leading a group of people to attack from behind. He had a ferocious smile on his face and a vicious light flashing in his eyes.

"Young Master Sun, what are you doing?" Gao Xingchen roared.

"What? Of course I'm going to kill you and seize control of the family!" Young Master Sun laughed wildly, "Gao Xingchen, you're a waste, how can you be the heir of the family? I'm the most suitable candidate!"

"You..." Gao Xingchen was furious and wished he could tear Master Sun into pieces.

"Xingchen, don't be influenced by him! Get rid of the enemy in front of you first!" Nanli reminded calmly. She saw through Mr. Sun's conspiracy at a glance. He wanted to take advantage of the chaos and reap the benefits.

Gao Xingchen took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to Nan Li: "Li'er, go deal with Young Master Sun, leave this to me!"

"But..." Nanli looked at him worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm fine!" Gao Xingchen gave her a reassuring look.

Nan Li no longer hesitated and turned to face Master Sun, and the two fought fiercely. Although Master Sun's swordsmanship was not as good as Gao Xingchen's, he had many men under his command, and for a while, Nan Li was also entangled.

Gao Xingchen continued to lead his family members to resist the attack of the Blood Evil Alliance. However, the Blood Evil Alliance was stronger after all, and the Gao family members gradually fell behind.

At this moment, a clear voice came from the sky: "Xingchen, Li'er, I'm here to lend you a hand!"

Everyone looked up and saw a woman in white falling from the sky. She had a beautiful face and extraordinary temperament, like the Lady of the Nine Heavens descending to earth.

"Fairy Zhou!" Gao Xingchen and Nan Li shouted in surprise. Fairy Zhou stood in the air, her sleeves fluttering, like the goddess of the sky descending to the mortal world. She held a crystal clear jade ruyi in her hand, and with a light wave, she released powerful energy waves, which shook the surrounding members of the Blood Evil Alliance away.

"Fairy Zhou, why are you here?" Gao Xingchen was surprised and delighted. He knew that Fairy Zhou was a reclusive master, but he didn't expect her to appear at this time to help them.

"Xingchen, Li'er, you've worked hard." Fairy Zhou said softly, "Over the years, I have been secretly watching you, and I have seen your growth. I already know what happened today. The Blood Demon Alliance has committed many evil deeds, and I will never stand idly by."

As Fairy Zhou spoke, Yu Ruyi swung again. This time, the energy fluctuations turned into countless lightsabers, sweeping towards the members of the Blood Evil Alliance. Wherever the lightsabers passed, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and screams were heard.

With the addition of Fairy Zhou, the battle situation was reversed instantly. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were also very excited. They fought side by side with Fairy Zhou and exerted their strength to the extreme. Gao Xingchen's swordsmanship was extremely sharp, and every swing of the sword was full of the momentum of creating the world; Nan Li's whip skills were agile and elegant, like a dancing dragon, making it hard to defend against; and Fairy Zhou's Jade Ruyi was even more powerful, and every attack could cause huge damage.

Under the joint attack of the three, the members of the Blood Demon Alliance were defeated step by step and finally collapsed. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Master Sun did not care about entanglement with Nan Li anymore and fled in panic with the remaining men.

"Don't chase after a desperate enemy!" Gao Xingchen saw this and shouted loudly, stopping the family members who wanted to chase him. He knew that Master Sun was just a minor character, and the real mastermind had not yet appeared.

"Xingchen is right." Fairy Zhou nodded and said, "Although we won this battle, this is just the beginning. The Blood Demon Alliance will not give up. We must be fully prepared to face their next round of attacks."

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li also looked serious when they heard this. They knew that Fairy Zhou was right, this battle was just the beginning of their struggle against the evil forces, and there would be more severe tests waiting for them in the future.

"Fairy Zhou, what should we do next?" Gao Xingchen asked. He knew that Fairy Zhou was experienced and would definitely be able to give them some advice. Fairy Zhou pondered for a moment, glanced at everyone, and slowly expressed her thoughts...

Fairy Zhou looked around and said solemnly, "The Blood Demon Alliance has come out in full force this time, which is obviously a long-planned plan. They have suffered a great loss this time, and they will definitely not give up. Xingchen, Li'er, you need to seize the time and improve the strength of your family so that you can withstand the storms in the future."

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at each other and nodded solemnly. Gao Xingchen stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "Please give me some advice, Fairy."

Fairy Zhou nodded slightly and said, "First of all, you need to strengthen the family's defensive formation. I have a set of 'Nine Stars Linked Formation' diagram here, which can help you." After that, she took out a jade slip from her sleeve and handed it to Gao Xingchen.

Gao Xingchen took the jade slip and was overjoyed. This Nine-Star Bead Array was an ancient wonder array with infinite power. With it, the safety of the family would be guaranteed.

"Secondly, you must make friends and unite all the forces that can be united." Fairy Zhou continued, "I have sent messages to several other hidden sects. I believe that they will send people to support us soon."

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li felt a glimmer of hope when they heard this. They knew that relying on their own strength to fight against a giant like the Blood Demon Alliance would be like hitting a rock with an egg.

"Finally, and most importantly, you must seize the time to improve your own strength." Fairy Zhou said earnestly, "Only when you are strong can you truly protect everything you want to protect."

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li agreed with this deeply. They understood that only by becoming stronger could they be invincible in future battles.

After seeing off Fairy Zhou, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li immediately began the intense post-war reconstruction work. They repaired the damaged buildings, comforted the injured tribesmen, and began to set up the Nine Stars Linking Beads Formation.

Patriarch Gao, Elder Zhao and others also actively cooperated, mobilizing all resources to add bricks and tiles to the family's defenses.

However, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li always felt a little uneasy. They knew that the revenge of the Blood Demon Alliance would not be far away, and could all they did withstand the next wave of attacks from the Blood Demon Alliance?

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked into the distance with a determined look. They were ready to fight to the end. No matter how difficult and dangerous the future was, they would fight side by side to protect their homes, their loved ones, and their lovers.
