Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 393 The Wedding Day

Gao Xingchen clenched the note in his hand. Pharmacist Li's handwriting was sloppy, and it was obvious that he was in a hurry when he wrote it, which also confirmed the urgency of the content of the letter. "It seems that we underestimated his persistence in the Heart of Stars." Gao Xingchen's voice was solemn.

Nan Li gently held his hand, her eyes firm: "No matter what he wants to do, we will stop him. The Heart of the Star will never fall into his hands."

The wedding day arrived as scheduled, and the whole valley was decorated with joy. Guests came from all directions to send their blessings to the newlyweds. Gao Xingchen was dressed in red, full of vigor and vitality, while Nan Li was dressed in a white long dress, cold and a little shy. The two stood together, like a perfect couple.

However, just as the wedding was about to begin, something strange happened!

A gust of wind swept in, blowing away the festive red silk, and the originally clear sky was instantly covered with dark clouds. At the entrance of the valley, a group of men in black appeared, each of them holding a sharp blade and full of murderous intent.

The leader was wearing a black cloak and his face could not be seen clearly, but the powerful aura he exuded made Gao Xingchen and Nan Li instantly alert.

"It's you!" Gao Xingchen recognized the person at a glance. It was the mysterious man who had been hiding behind the scenes.

The mysterious man sneered: "Gao Xingchen, Nanli, do you really think you can hold your wedding without any worries? I came here today to take away the Heart of Star and stop this farce!"

"If you want the Heart of the Star, it depends on whether you have the ability to get it!" Gao Xingchen protected Nan Li behind him, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

"Then don't blame me for being rude!" The mysterious man gave an order, and the men in black behind him rushed in like a tide.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were well prepared, and they had already laid a net in the valley. With Gao Xingchen's order, countless traps were triggered, and rain of arrows, falling rocks, and rolling logs attacked the invading men in black from all directions.

For a moment, the valley was filled with shouts and screams, and a great battle was about to break out!

Gao Xingchen held a long sword like a god of war, taking away several lives with every swing. Nan Li was agile, moving freely among the enemy groups, the dagger in her hand flashed with cold light, and the men in black fell at her feet one after another.

However, the mysterious man brought a large number of men, and each of them was well-trained. Although Gao Xingchen and Nanli were brave, they gradually felt a little tired.

At this moment, two figures descended from the sky and joined the battle...

Two figures fell like meteors and landed steadily beside Gao Xingchen and Nanli. They were Pharmacist Li and Ling'er.

"Master!" Gao Xingchen shouted in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Pharmacist Li stroked his beard and said with a smile, "How can I not come on such an important day? What's more, I want to witness with my own eyes how you, a boy, get beaten up black and blue!"

"Master!" Gao Xingchen shook his head helplessly, but a warm feeling surged in his heart.

Ling'er joined the battle directly. She was agile, like a dancing butterfly, shuttling between the men in black. Although she was petite, her attacks were extremely ruthless, and each strike was aimed directly at the enemy's vital points.

Pharmacist Li took out a number of exquisite jade bottles from his bosom, opened the stoppers, and a strange fragrance filled the air. When the men in black smelled the fragrance, they immediately felt dizzy and their fighting power was greatly reduced.

"This is a special incense I made for you. It's perfect for dealing with these minions." Pharmacist Li said with a proud smile.

With the participation of Li Yaoshi and Ling'er, the battle situation was reversed instantly, and the men in black were defeated. However, the mysterious man still stood there, watching all this coldly, without any panic in his eyes.

"Gao Xingchen, Nanli, do you think you can stop me like this?" The mysterious man suddenly shouted to the sky, "You are too naive! The power of the Heart of Stars is far beyond your imagination!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful energy wave suddenly erupted from the mysterious man, and the space around him began to vibrate violently. He suddenly tore open the black cloak on his chest, revealing a strange pattern that emitted a strange light, as if connected to another world.

Gao Xingchen was shocked. He felt a familiar yet unfamiliar power from the pattern. It was a dark power full of destructive aura. It was completely opposite to the power of the Heart of the Star, yet there was some subtle connection between them.

"What is he going to do?" Nan Li also noticed something was wrong and asked in a low voice.

Gao Xingchen's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "If my guess is correct, he wants to use the power of the Heart of the Stars to open a passage to another world and release a more powerful dark force!"

"What?!" Nan Li's face changed drastically. "If he succeeds, the entire Nine Star Realm will be doomed!"

The mysterious man laughed wildly, his voice full of madness: "That's right! I will release the sealed dark power, completely destroy this world, and then create a brand new world!"

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes. They knew that today, they must stop the mysterious man's crazy plan at all costs!

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li stood back to back, the light of the Heart of Stars enveloped them, as if they were a pair of gods fighting side by side. They both knew that at this moment they were not fighting alone, but were carrying the hope of the entire Nine Star Realm.

"Xingchen, we must stop him!" Nanli's voice sounded in Gao Xingchen's heart, firm and resolute.

"I know!" Gao Xingchen tightly grasped the Heart of Stars in his hand, feeling the vast power contained in it, "For our homeland, for our future, let's fight!"

The two of them looked at each other, and without further words, they had already understood each other. They simultaneously activated the power of the Heart of the Stars, and the two powerful energies intertwined, forming a huge column of light that shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire sky into a brilliant Milky Way.

When the mysterious man saw this scene, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and laughed wildly: "It's useless! Your power can't stop me at all! The power of darkness is unstoppable!"

He formed seals with his hands, and the strange pattern behind him glowed brightly. A dark crack slowly tore open in the void, emitting a heart-pounding aura.

"Oh no! He is about to open the passage!" Gao Xingchen's heart sank. He knew that he had to stop the mysterious man before the passage was completely opened.

"Heart of Stars, obey my command, seal it!" Gao Xingchen and Nan Li roared at the same time, pouring all their strength into the Heart of Stars.

The silver light collided violently with the black cracks, and the space shook violently, as if it would collapse at any time. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li's bodies were almost unable to breathe due to the oppression of this powerful force, but they still gritted their teeth and persisted, never giving up.

"Ah!" The mysterious man roared in reluctance, and the black crack behind him began to shrink gradually, and finally disappeared. He was also sucked into it by a powerful force and disappeared into the void.

"Success!" Gao Xingchen and Nan Li collapsed to the ground helplessly, with victorious smiles on their faces.

However, just when they thought everything was over, the mysterious man's resentful voice sounded again, echoing between heaven and earth: "Gao Xingchen, Nanli, I will remember you! Your happiness will not last long, and darkness will eventually come!"

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were startled, and a sense of uneasiness came over them. They knew that although the battle was over, the real crisis had just begun. The curse of the mysterious man, like an indelible shadow, shrouded their hearts.

Despite the uneasiness in their hearts, the wedding had to go on. In the eyes of everyone's blessings, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li exchanged rings and made an eternal vow. However, just as they were about to accept everyone's congratulations, Gao Xingchen suddenly felt a palpitation. He suddenly looked up at the sky and his face suddenly changed.

The originally clear sky suddenly became overcast, and a strange smell spread in the air. The plants in the valley began to wither rapidly, and the animals became abnormally manic, as if they were affected by some unknown force.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at each other and saw seriousness in each other's eyes.

"It seems that the mysterious man's curse has come true..."
