CHAPTER 1916: CHAPTER 1913: SOMEONE IS SHIFTING THE STARS! (FIFTH UPDATE)

When the gray-robed elder saw Lin Bai standing outside the mist thinking, his heart immediately tightened, and he ground his teeth and said, "Lin Bai, if you dare to enter the mist and ruin my great plan, I will make sure you die without an intact corpse!"

The gray-robed elder looked at the screen showing Lin Bai standing outside the mist, and viciously thought to himself, hoping Lin Bai would leave the area rather than step into the mist.

But, when Lin Bai stood outside the mist, contemplating for a while, his face suddenly hardened, and he resolutely stepped into the mist, disappearing without a trace!

"Damn! Damn!"

"Damn it, how did Lin Bai find this place?"

"Could it be that he’s been following Qiu Lin all along?"

The gray-robed elder looked a bit anxious, restless.

While sitting beside the gray-robed elder, a strong warrior of the Life-and-Death Realm noticed his strange demeanor and laughed, saying, "This friend, don’t worry. Leng Yun and Blackstone Roland Sword Nine are just making tentative attacks. To decide the victory, they’ll probably need to get to the ninth floor."

The gray-robed elder paused, laughed dryly twice, "Cough, cough, yes, yes, I’m also eagerly awaiting these two Tianjiao to fight with all their might!"

The gray-robed elder quickly calmed his inner turmoil and immediately turned his gaze towards the mist once again, his eyes flashing, as if making a difficult decision!

Immediately, the gray-robed elder got up and left the venue, heading to a desolate place, where he took out a Thousand Paper Crane from his storage bag, then pinched a technique, biting the tip of his tongue, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The blood sprinkled on the Thousand Paper Crane, which seemed to come alive, and flew into the void, disappearing from sight.

"Must remind Qiu Lin."

After spitting out that mouthful of blood, the gray-robed elder’s face became extremely pale, as if he lost half his life.

At this moment, when the gray-robed elder was about to return to the venue, he found that the Life-and-Death Realm strong warrior who had spoken with him was walking towards him with a smile, "This friend, what are you doing here?"

"I saw you used that Thousand Paper Crane, it seems a bit familiar..., it seems like it’s the secret communication technique of the Life-Death Demon Sect, able to transmit messages through the void, ignoring any Magic Circle restriction..."

"This communication technique was lost with the demise of the Life-Death Demon Sect..."

The Life-and-Death Realm warrior walked over with a smile.

"You saw what happened just now?" The gray-robed elder paused, smiled, and asked.

At that moment, the Life-and-Death Realm warrior suddenly felt a twinge of unease in his heart, and he quickly said in panic, "Didn’t see, didn’t see, I was just passing by, I saw nothing..."

After speaking, the Life-and-Death Realm warrior prepared to leave the area quickly.

The gray-robed elder looked at the Life-and-Death Realm warrior’s back, sneered slightly, and immediately a giant demonic claw emerged from behind him, grabbed the Life-and-Death Realm warrior, and dragged him into the shadows.

Not even a scream echoed out.

A moment later, the gray-robed elder left the darkness, and no one remained in the area, as if the Life-and-Death Realm warrior had been swallowed by the dark, disappearing without a trace.

...

Lin Bai stepped into the mist, proceeded a short distance, and felt waves of spiritual power rolling within the mist, extremely immense, as if a hundred or more warriors of the Great Perfection of the Yangshen Realm were fighting here!

"Such astonishing spiritual power."

Lin Bai was slightly surprised, continuing forward.

Continuing ahead about a hundred meters, Lin Bai vaguely saw five young men and women sitting cross-legged in the black mist ahead.

Gu Yuan, Lei Chong, Chai Ming, Lin Xiaoqing sat facing the four directions.

While Ding Huo sat in the center.

Within a hundred meters around these five people, runes glowed on the ground and in the void, floating mysteriously like a strange formation.

Lin Bai noticed this formation, then noticed the five people within it, his gaze tightened.

He saw, when the five were simultaneously operating their cultivation, the most important Ding Huo in the Magic Circle appeared surrounded by a starry sky, countless stars emerged around Ding Huo.

"This starry sky..."

Lin Bai’s eyes widened, hardly believing.

The starry sky emerging beside Ding Huo was exactly the starry sky in the sky when Lin Bai looked up just now, the positions of the stars were nearly identical.

In other words, the starry sky gathered around Ding Huo was a complete microcosm of the stars above Yuanzu Mountain.

At this moment, Ding Huo operated his cultivation, began rearranging the scattered stars before him.

However, Ding Huo seemed unfamiliar with this reordering method, or perhaps he couldn’t find a way to arrange these stars, so he repeatedly experimented!

After watching for a while, Lin Bai suddenly left the mist.

Upon exiting the mist, Lin Bai immediately raised his head to look at the stars in the sky.

The moment Lin Bai looked at the stars... Lin Bai was startled and widened his eyes!

Lin Bai saw, now the stars above Yuanzu Mountain began changing positions, one by one.

This positional change seemed as if someone was using their hands to manipulate them!

Glancing at the starry sky, Lin Bai re-entered the mist and memorized Ding Huo’s star movements.

Lin Bai wanted to know if Ding Huo was indeed moving the stars!

"Big Dipper, southern shift of eight inches!"

Lin Bai memorized a star Ding Huo moved, immediately exited the mist, raised his head to look at the sky, his gaze focused instantly on that Big Dipper.

When Lin Bai looked at the Big Dipper.

At that moment... the Big Dipper had shifted eight thousand miles south!

In Lin Bai’s view, eight thousand miles in the sky equaled eight inches!

"Indeed, Ding Huo is moving the stars!"

"However, the distance he moves the stars is very short, such that what I saw, the Big Dipper’s southern shift of eight inches, others would assume the stars only shifted slightly."

"If I hadn’t seen the starry sky in front of Ding Huo identical to the stars above Yuanzu Mountain, I couldn’t discover the stellar movement..."

Lin Bai felt chills down his spine and his scalp tingled.

"He’s moving the stars!"

"What on earth does he intend with this!"

Lin Bai’s expression froze, his face turned extremely gloomy.

Lin Bai didn’t know what Ding Huo and Gu Yuan planned, nor did he know if he should act to stop them!

After thinking for a while, Lin Bai re-entered the mist.

At this moment, the blood-red Thousand Paper Crane released by the gray-robed elder also appeared in front of Ding Huo.

Ding Huo saw the blood-red Thousand Paper Crane, his expression tightened, softly said, "Blood Crane Secret Communication, why is Old Monster Ding sending a message now?"

Though Ding Huo was puzzled, he still paused in moving the stars, fingers pointed to the Thousand Paper Crane, immediately causing an elderly voice to echo beside Ding Huo’s ear: "Qiu Lin, Lin Bai has been following you, now he’s within a hundred miles from you, watching you deduce the Great Array."

Swish—

As soon as Ding Huo heard this, murderous intent flashed on him, his gaze piercing like two sharp swords into the mist, instantly through thick mist, saw Lin Bai...

...

On the second floor, not only did Lin Bai notice the stellar movement.

On the second floor, atop a Lonely Mountain, gathered tens of thousands of warriors.

They came to witness the battle between Blackstone Roland Sword Nine and Leng Yun.

Meanwhile, atop another high mountain peak, a handsome young man in a purple robe looked at Leng Yun and Blackstone Roland Sword Nine with a smile, his eyes seemed filled with anticipation.

Suddenly, his gaze trembled, unable to resist retracting his gaze from Blackstone Roland Sword Nine and Leng Yun, and looking upwards at the stars!

He furrowed his brows.

Beside this man in a purple robe stood a beautiful young girl, curiously asking, "Brother Zi Donglai, what’s wrong?"

Zi Donglai looked at the stars, his expression becoming increasingly dim, after a while, he said, "Someone moved the stars!"

"Moving stars?" The girl looked at the stars in the sky, baffled, after a moment she laughed, "No, the stars are quietly staying in the sky, Brother Zi Donglai, are you too nervous about participating in the Master Apprenticeship Examination."

Zi Donglai’s face was solemn, faintly shaking his head, saying, "I need to cast a divination..."

Immediately, Zi Donglai took out ten chess pieces from his storage bag, the pieces were rather strange, having black and white two sides...

Zi Donglai took out the chess pieces, casually tossed them on the ground, nine pieces turned black, while only one was white...

Seeing this scene, Zi Donglai gasped and said with trembling words, "A situation of Nine Deaths One Life?"
