Jiang Ke'er was shocked.

Isn't it said that the Stars are united in solidarity and cannot attack their own people?

What's the situation?

But she soon understood.

Epsilon has disappeared for nearly a hundred years. Without its greatest enemy, the stars have also lost their external threats.

Without external threats to force them to unite, the flames of greed will thrive.

No force can escape such a fate; this is an inevitable outcome.

"very good."

After witnessing a murder, Jiang Keer's mouth curled up and she felt relieved in her heart.

This was exactly what she wanted to see.

She quickly restrained her breath and increased her hiding efforts.

Although it is easy to get tired if you hide with all your strength like this, the current situation is complicated and you may be surrounded and attacked by more reinforcements from the stars at any time, so the main goal should still be to hide yourself and observe the situation.

"Gray, did you see the killer's appearance clearly just now?" asked the woman in robe.

"No," the man in grey clothes, called 'Gray', shook his head. "My view was blocked by Ming's body. I could only see two broken chains on her feet, black high heels and a skirt, and something seemed to be lying on her shoulders. Unfortunately, it was too fast and was blocked, so I couldn't see her face clearly."

"The information is sufficient. Please report it when you return." said the woman in robes.

"It's useless to say anything. Do you really think the Star Lord can't see through it? It's just that she is seriously injured now and can't do anything. She can only turn a blind eye." Gray sneered.

"Shh!" The woman in the robe glared, "You talk too much!"

"Don't worry, Prisoner, that little girl can't run away," Gray was not worried at all, "This is our territory, no ancient god can ever run wild in the realm of stars. Didn't even Epsilon capsize in the gutter if they dared to cross the border?"

At the same time, a blue meteor from the sky flew towards this place.

"Gray" and "Prisoner" looked at each other.

The dust here had been completely compressed and crystallized because of the previous battle, exposing the dead black rocks underneath.

When Qiao Xiaoxian landed and saw the chaos and blood around her, a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes and she immediately became alert.

"Where's Ming?" asked Qiao Xiaoxian.

Including myself, there are four candidates for successor - Ming, Qiu, Hui, and Yue.

Because different races have different naming habits, there is a high probability that there will be extremely long names that are so long that your face will roll across the keyboard, so each of the four candidates is called by a single-word code name.

I am the "moon".

"Ming is dead!" Gray hammered the ground in anger, tears streaming down his face. "He was trying to protect us, so he was brutally killed by the Ancient God. Not even his soul was left!"

How could the three of you together be killed by the ancient god whose power was suppressed?

Qiao Xiaoxian remained calm and did not ask the questions in her mind.

"Do you see the enemy clearly?" asked Qiao Xiaoxian.

"Only Ming saw it clearly, but he's dead," the woman called "Prisoner" sobbed, crying like a pear blossom in the rain, "We only saw two iron chains hanging on her feet. It's strange to say, why would there be iron chains on the feet of the ancient god..."

When Qiao Xiaoxian heard this, her body trembled violently.

Her heart ached sharply, and the image of Jiang Ke'er covered in bruises began to appear unconsciously in her mind.

She must have suffered a lot.

It is impossible to imagine what kind of pain it was, and what kind of compromises she had to go through in the end to become that notorious killing machine.

She was originally such a gentle and kind little girl...

"Anything else?" Qiao Xiaoxian asked, suppressing her emotions and keeping a cool expression.

"It was very fast, and he used a bloody sword." said Gray.

sword……

Qiao Xiaoxian felt a pang of pain in her heart, and she had almost confirmed the other party's identity.

"It's in human form, with sickly pale skin, wearing a black gauze skirt and black stiletto high heels. It's not very tall, probably up to your chin." The prisoner added, "That's about it."

To the chin?

I've grown taller...

"I understand." Qiao Xiaoxian nodded, and put her trembling hands behind her back to avoid being noticed by the two. Her eyes were as cold and arrogant as ever, and her voice was also, "I will keep an eye on this ancient god. The enemy is powerful, so you should also be careful."

Seeing that Qiao Xiaoxian didn't seem to doubt Ming's death, or at least didn't continue on this topic, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

They were really afraid that Qiao Xiaoxian would dig into the matter. If she was stubborn and wanted to break up with them, they would not be sure to kill her quickly.

Although they have never fought each other, but as the Star Lord's direct disciple, Qiao Xiaoxian would definitely be in trouble if they fought.

"That guy is still hiding here, hiding his body, so we can't find him for the time being," Hui said in a deep voice, "Since her target is the Bridge of Origin, why don't we take the Bridge of Origin away from her and force her out."

The Ancient God actually didn't know how to obtain the Bridge of Origin, because what she took was the ** version of the star map.

But Lang Jiujiu obviously did not tell the other three heirs about this.

Now only Qiao Xiaoxian knows about this.

If the seal of the Bridge of Origin were lifted at this time, it would actually be helping the ancient gods in disguise.

However, Qiao Xiaoxian did not tell the truth for some unknown reason.

"The restriction requires three people to input energy into the three stone towers at the same time. We have three here, which is just right," Hui said. "I'll go to the tallest one, Qiu will go to the shortest one, and Yue, you go to the last one."

"Yeah." Qiao Xiaoxian nodded slightly, but her slender hands unconsciously clenched the corner of the white cloak, forming a ball of fine wrinkles.

She came to the side of the stone tower as assigned, but seemed to sense something and looked back suddenly.

Before my eyes was the edge of the wilderness and the continent. There was nothing here, not even a shadow.

The gentle wind brushed across her cheeks and lifted her scattered hair back, like the caress of a loved one.

"is it you?"

no respond.

The familiar throbbing seemed to be within reach, but when Qiao Xiaoxian reached out her hand, she found nothing.

7. Dangerous Bridge

illusion?

I must have been thinking about her to the point of going insane.

Qiao Xiaoxian smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Yue, what are you standing there for?"

A distant call woke her up and she placed her hands on the stone pillar.

After the energy was input, the stone pillars seemed to have no reaction, but a portal lit up at the center of the three stone pillars.

"Let's go."

Those who can become candidates for Star Lord are all talented and courageous.

Hui and Qiu were the first to walk in.

Qiao Xiaoxian secretly became alert, first put up a shield to protect herself, and then walked into the door.

The invisible wind entered with her.

"here……"

There was green poisonous fog everywhere, which corroded the protective shield and made it sizzle, and also severely obscured the vision and perception.

Judging from the hints on the star map, this is a very large world, but the star map does not indicate the specific location of the Bridge of Origin.

In other words, if you want to find the Bridge of Origin, you must search slowly despite the poisonous fog and the hidden mechanisms here.

The poison wasn't terrible, as it could be blocked for tens of thousands of years with the energy reserves of those present. The annoying thing was that it blocked the vision, making it pitch dark here.

Besides... the rules here are so confusing that it's impossible to fly.

Qiao Xiaoxian had only taken a few steps forward when she suddenly felt her feet were on empty air and her whole body was carried forward.

Moreover, the deep pit seemed to have some magical power, sending a huge pulling force to her body!

"Woo——"

At the critical moment, a strong wind blew in front of her, which helped her balance and blew her forward-leaning body back to the edge of the cliff and straightened it.

Qiao Xiaoxian's heart was pounding, not just because of the danger of stepping into empty space.

Where does this strange wind come from?

Why would you help yourself?

Before she could think about it, the voice of the prisoner came from not far away: "Yue? Where are you?"

"Here, be careful, there is a pit here." Qiao Xiaoxian responded.

"Thank you for the reminder...ah——"

"careful!"

Suddenly the prisoner let out a scream.

Because of the thick fog, the people could only identify each other's positions by sound.

"Prisoner?" Qiao Xiaoxian asked.

"I'm fine!" A long sigh of relief came from not far away, "Thanks to Hui for holding me, but I wouldn't have fallen if he hadn't pulled me..."

"Is there no wind?" asked Qiao Xiaoxian.

"What wind?" The prisoner was very surprised. Apparently, he did not encounter any life-saving gale at all.

"It's nothing. The situation here is very complicated, with traps and pits everywhere. Be careful where you step." Qiao Xiaoxian replied, trying to calm his somewhat rapid breathing.

After the three people passed through the portal, it seemed that there was a slight distance between them when they landed.

Qiu and Hui were teleported together, while Qiao Xiaoxian was about ten meters away from them.

There was an impassable ravine blocking the ten meters, forcing Qiao Xiaoxian to slowly find the edge of the ravine so that he could go around and meet up with them.

She thought about building an ice bridge to get across, but the crackling sounds in her ears told her that even the strongest ice bridge would collapse and shatter above the deep pit.

I can only go around it a little bit at a time.

She took out a long stick and pointed it around carefully, walking like a blind person exploring the way.

After groping around, she found that she was actually on a narrow wooden bridge with deep pits on both sides. She could only move forward along the bridge.

After walking for a while, her cane poked at the intersection.

"Are you still there?" Qiao Xiaoxian called softly.

"Here!" The voices of Qiu and Hui came from the left.

Qiao Xiaoxian sensed their direction, and then... turned in the opposite direction without hesitation.

The road had a certain curvature, and she walked forward cautiously, noticing that the voices of Qiu and Hui were getting farther and farther away.

However, as she continued to move forward, the voices of Qiu and Hui were getting closer and closer!

This road turned out to be the real road to meet up with the prisoner and the ash!

She felt sad and sighed that it was fate that played tricks on her. If she retreated at this moment, it would surely arouse suspicion, so she had to keep moving forward.

"Why are you so slow?" the prisoner complained. "The ancient god has already gone somewhere. If you are any slower, we won't be able to find the bridge."

Qiao Xiaoxian ignored her and just walked forward slowly with full concentration.

There was a flat, hard touch from the cane.

Very good, this is the way to go.

She finally managed to reunite with Qiu and Hui, so that the three of them could help each other without worrying about falling.

"This should be a maze," Qiao Xiaoxian's cold voice came, "I just walked a long way to get here."
