Chapter 1395: Trouble From Above

As the icy wall made contact with the black claw marks, it seemed to corrode rapidly and disintegrate, scattering in the wind.

Luan Shuo trembled with his pitch-black hands, his eyes full of disdain and a faint smirk.

"The ice flame is nothing special!"

The elder disciple’s legs shook uncontrollably, overwhelmed by the eerie aura radiating from Luan Shuo, feeling as if an invisible force was gripping his throat.

"What… do you want to do?" The elder disciples of Qingyan’s lips turned purple, and a cold and eerie atmosphere emerged.

"Stop talking nonsense, both of you show your Starshine Tokens!"

Luan Shuo looked like a corpse, and from his hideous mouth came a hoarse and eerie sound.

The elder disciples looked puzzled, not knowing why Luan Shuo wanted to take their Starshine Tokens.

The Starshine Token was a precious gift promised by the master of Nine Star Valley to the heroes who came to participate in the Sealed Thunder Valley Ceremony.

Now, Luan Shuo was asking for it, and in order to save his life, the elder disciple took out the faintly shining Starshine Token from his pocket.

He crouched down again and retrieved the Starshine Token from his unconscious junior disciple, throwing it to Luan Shuo.

In Luan Shuo’s lifeless and empty black pupils, a deep and unfathomable glow surged, as he nodded with satisfaction.

He glanced at the Green Flame School disciple, who was carrying someone and turning to leave, and shouted angrily.

"Stop!"

The older disciple, who had turned his back, suddenly felt a thump in his heart. Large beads of sweat slowly trickled down as his body froze.

A terrified expression appeared on his ugly face as he slowly turned around.

"What else do you want to do! Don’t push your luck too far!"

Luan Shuo shook his head in regret, looking at the disciple from the Green Flame School. A dark aura surrounded him as a pitch-black giant sword materialized in his hand, aiming at the older disciple.

"Even with the Starshine Token, I still need your life!"

As soon as the words fell, a loud roar echoed, piercing the eardrums. A horrifying howl that made one’s soul tremble instantly resounded.

A sharp sword energy swiftly flashed in front of the older disciple, its sharpness resembling a knife’s edge.

It emitted a chilling aura as waves of black smoke burst forth from Luan Shuo’s body.

Smoke quickly grew behind Luan Shuo, forming a terrifying ghost face that was hundreds of feet long. The enormous and fierce figure twisted and expanded in the empty space.

Suddenly, dark clouds covered the sky, and the scent of destruction and decay filled the forest. The immensely huge demon shadows rushed towards the senior disciple.

In the blink of an eye, the senior disciple quickly formed a spatial barrier in front of the distorted space.

"Puff!"

Under the fiercely terrifying black sword energy, the powerful impact sent the senior disciple flying and shattered the giant tree behind him into powder.

"Puff!"

A mouthful of blood sprayed into the sky, the senior disciple’s face covered in blood. With a slight movement of his finger, the dripping blood slowly fell from his index finger.

"Bang!"

Before the senior disciple had time to react, Luan Shuo, holding a pitch-black gigantic sword, gathered another sword energy. A pitch-black blade of energy, piercing through the air, came straight towards the heavens and the earth.

The whole Beast Courtyard started to shake with energy, and thunderous sounds echoed in the sky.

The terrifying force rushed towards the two disciples like a tornado.

"Crack!"

Two disciples from the Green Flame School were directly cut in half, and the fierce wind tore their limbs apart. Lin Feng’s body scattered throughout the forest, with his head and limbs still remaining.

"Star pulling!"

Luan Shuo looked satisfied with the power he exerted, then gathered his qi, condensed his handprints, and quickly pulled the star power of the two people into his own body.

The vast and majestic star power quickly gathered above the Beast Courtyard.

The black thunderous sound resounded through the heavens and the earth, shaking the sky!

Meng Xun, who was separate from the trembling demon beast deep in the Beast Courtyard, could feel the immense evil power behind him, as well as the sudden surge of star power in the sky.

"Something happened there!"

Meng Xun felt a sense of danger and worried about his two skilled disciples falling behind. He nervously called out to the two elders who were fighting.

"Elders, hold on for a moment. I’ll be right back!"

As soon as he said that, a flickering blue flame appeared in the spot and quickly vanished.

Luan Shuo had gathered all the power of the stars onto himself. When he saw a figure moving in the distance, he knew it was Meng Xun from the Green Flame School coming towards him.

Just as he was about to activate his energy and leave, he suddenly saw that the older disciple’s hand was covered in fresh blood.

The blood had not yet dried, and there were traces left by the older disciple.

There, written with a dot and a horizontal line, was Luan Shuo’s own name written in blood. He glanced at the bloodstain and instead of wiping it away, a strange smile appeared in his eyes as he looked towards the horizon.

After absorbing the power of the stars, Luan Shuo suddenly felt a surge of strength in his limbs and body.

"Su Yi, just wait to die! Hahaha!"

Luan Shuo burst into laughter, raised his arm abruptly, and a handprint formed as black evil energy surged out from his forehead.

The terrifying aura immediately filled the entire space, enveloping Luan Shuo entirely.

The overwhelming malevolence formed a spherical shape, causing ripples in the surrounding space and emitting a faint glow.

"Boom!"

In the midst of the spreading fluctuations, Luan Shuo’s figure moved as fast as lightning and thunder, swiftly disappearing into the distance, leaving behind traces of lingering malevolence.

Above the silent Beast Courtyard, there were occasional patrols by flying demon beasts.

As soon as Luan Shuo left, the clouds that had just gathered instantly vanished, revealing clear, refreshing sky.

Suddenly, cries of despair echoed through the forest.

"Ah!"

Meng Xun arrived at the scene and was shocked by the incredibly bloody scene in front of him. His disciple’s limbs were torn apart, leaving only dried bloodied limbs and a head.

Holding the body of his older disciple, Meng Xun was saddened to discover that all the flesh seemed to have been drained of life force, like a lifeless corpse.

A mournful cry escaped Meng Xun’s mouth, and a powerful aura erupted from his body like a volcanic explosion.

With blazing green flames, an overwhelming energy gathered around Meng Xun, ready to burst forth at any moment.

Filled with extreme anger, Meng Xun looked at his beloved direct disciple’s tragic death, leaving only a bitter taste in his heart.

"Who did this?! Who dared to harm my disciple like this!"

Pushing his palms forward, an endless azure light emanated from his hands, forming a gigantic vortex of energy flames that instantly reduced the surrounding trees to ashes.

Carefully examining the body of his beloved disciple, slowly lifting it up, Meng Xun suddenly noticed a bloodstain beneath the disciple’s body that resembled a character.

Meng Xun carefully examined and found some faint writing on the ground.

Hard to fully understand, Meng Xun thought to himself, could this be a message from my apprentice telling me the murderer’s identity?

Following this line of thought, if the upright and horizontal strokes represent a surname, then among all the people who came in, whose surname is composed of an upright and horizontal stroke?

Another conflict with my disciple? Meng Xun suddenly had a flash of enlightenment and muttered to himself.

"Upright and horizontal strokes? Su Yi!"
