“Your brother wanted to kill and rob. It is only natural that he was killed.” Su Yuan looked at Yan Qing, who had returned empty-handed, and spoke slowly.

Yan Qing’s eyes were icy: “You don’t need to say more. Since you killed my brother, I will definitely kill you!”

“The bond between brother and sister is commendable.” Su Yuan clapped his hands and said calmly, “I am waiting here for you to kill me, but you should also be prepared to be killed.”

Yan Qing narrowed his eyes: “Such arrogance!”

Su Yuan ignored him and turned towards Feng Xuanqing: “And you?”

Feng Xuanqing responded expressionlessly: “I am only here for the Divine Wind. Whoever competes with me, I will kill.”

“Divine Wind? So, this is indeed the Divine Wind!”

Yan Qing was momentarily stunned, then a burning desire arose in his eyes.

Originally, he just wanted to find the murderer who killed his brother. But if he could obtain the Divine Wind along the way, that would be the best outcome.

Even for an ordinary Star Card Master, the Divine Wind was a rare treasure.

What’s more, the wind aids the fire. For a Fire Star Card Master like Yan Qing, the Divine Wind was nearly as valuable as the Divine Fire!

Su Yuan chuckled lightly: “One seeks revenge, the other seeks the Divine Wind… Both of you want to kill me, so perhaps the two of you should join forces?”

A thought crossed Yan Qing’s mind, and he couldn’t help but look at Feng Xuanqing.

If he could gain Feng Xuanqing and Mo Zhe Mei’s help, then killing this person would surely be a piece of cake!

Feng Xuanqing said coolly: “Those who want something should take it themselves. Those who want to kill should do it themselves. Why would they need to join forces with others? Only the weak need to huddle together for warmth.”

Yan Qing’s face turned even uglier at these words.

Even Su Yuan was a bit surprised. This disciple from the Taishang Sect was indeed quite unusual.

Just then, the entire Great Formation trembled slightly.

Starlight flickered in the sky, star clouds churned below, and observatories emerged from the roiling star clouds.

At the same time, a mass of star clouds appeared in front of Su Yuan and the others.

On closer inspection, within these star clouds were nine star points, each about the size of a fingernail, constantly moving around.

“As expected, this layer is the Nine Palace Formation.”

Su Yuan’s heart stirred. The nine star points followed specific patterns, embodying the transformations of the Nine Palaces.

With silver light gleaming in his eyes, Su Yuan quickly deduced the pattern and swiftly reached out to grab one of the star points.

Immediately, starlight flowed and star clouds converged, forming a Star Bridge connecting his feet to the observatory ahead.

Su Yuan stepped onto the Star Bridge, and, as expected, no Starlight Pillars fell from above.

“So, you have to choose correctly nine times to use the Star Bridge to enter the central Star Gate?”

Su Yuan thought as he quickly led Ashley to the first observatory.

Looking up, he saw that Feng Xuanqing and Mo Zhe Mei had already broken through the First Stage, walking along their own converging Star Bridges to the next observatory ahead.

“I wonder if the Star Gate will close if I go too slowly. Better hurry…”

Su Yuan turned his gaze back to the star cloud on the second observatory.

Unlike the first nine star points, this mass of star clouds had doubled the star points to eighteen!

With each additional star point, the deduction required more effort. Now, with double the star points…

Both Su Yuan and Mo Zhe Mei frowned but had no choice. They continued to deduce.

After a long while, the star cloud fluctuated, and the Star Bridge was built. Mo Zhe Mei reached the Second Stage Observatory first.

Mastery called for expertise. Yixian Dao excelled in arrays and divination. Mo Zhe Mei, as a core disciple, was just one step away from becoming an Array Dao Master.

Su Yuan, on the other hand, was still accumulating the knowledge and experience needed for a Sixth-level Grandmaster. His skills in array paths were naturally not as advanced as Mo Zhe Mei’s, making him slower.

Fortunately, after a few more minutes, Su Yuan also deduced the correct star point, grabbed it, and summoned the Star Bridge to the Second Stage Observatory.

In the distance, Yan Qing saw Su Yuan and Feng Xuanqing making progress while he himself made none. He grew anxious.

Seeing Liu He and Wang Meifei still frowning over the deductions, Yan Qing directly reached out and grabbed one of the nine star points.

“Senior Sister, you…?”

Before the words were finished, the star cloud surged, and within moments, a Star Bridge appeared before them.

“This…?”

Liu He and Wang Meifei were shocked, and even Yan Qing himself was stunned.

“Go!”

Without hesitation, Yan Qing led Liu He and Wang Meifei to the first observatory.

Another mass of star clouds gathered in front of them. Seeing the eighteen star points, Yan Qing felt overwhelmed.

Wang Meifei frowned: “I wonder if Senior Sister just got lucky earlier, or if all these star points are decoys. Would any choice work?”

“We shall see!”

Yan Qing reached out again and grabbed another star point.

But this time, the entire observatory trembled violently.

“Not good!”

The three turned pale, and a moment later, the observatory exploded with a “boom.”

Without the protection of the observatory, the three were exposed in the sea of stars with nowhere to stand. Sёarᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The next moment, the starlight in the sky grew dazzling.

“Three Suns Sword Formation!” Yan Qing shouted.

The three of them brought out their True Yang Treasure Swords, moving rapidly in the positions of the Three Talents above their heads!

Starlight flashed fiercely, and one Star Power Light Column after another shot down.

Their True Yang Magic Swords seemed like small umbrellas in a rainstorm, unable to withstand for long.

“Retreat quickly!”

Just before the Three Suns Sword Formation collapsed, they managed to return to the starting point.

All three True Yang Magic Swords were damaged to varying degrees. Wang Meifei and Liu He coughed up blood from the sword’s backlash.

Yan Qing also tasted blood in his mouth, evidently injured.

Just then, another observatory rose ahead, indicating that another attempt was possible.

“Damn it!”

Yan Qing’s expression was dark. While he wanted to pursue, he lacked an Array Master and found it hard to reach the central Star Gate.

Wang Meifei advised: “Don’t be hasty, Senior Sister. Even if they reach the central Star Gate, they might not leave immediately. They will likely return here. We can wait for them.

Besides, let him fight Feng Xuanqing for the Divine Wind. He almost certainly isn’t Feng Xuanqing’s match. Even if by some luck he gets the Divine Wind, he will be in a poor state.

At that time, we can form the Sword Array and kill him. He will surely die!

This way, we can avenge our Junior Brother Yan Zhen and have a chance to get the Divine Wind!”

Consumed by revenge, Yan Qing only desired to kill the beast to avenge her brother.

Hearing Wang Meifei’s words, she finally calmed her murderous intent slightly, and a hint of greed emerged in her eyes.

“Alright, let them fight for it first.”
