Chapter 494 The Demise of the Dark Forces and the Omen of a New Crisis

The Elder of Lingxiao Pavilion rapidly formed hand seals, his spiritual energy surging, and golden light, like a raging tide, swept towards the Dark Forces Protector. The Dark Forces Protector was terrified; he desperately cast a dark defense spell, forming a black shield around himself to try and withstand the powerful attack. However, before the Elder of Lingxiao Pavilion's immense spiritual power, his defense was as fragile as paper. The golden light instantly pierced through the black shield, striking the Dark Forces Protector's body. He let out a shrill scream, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground, his fate unknown.

Seeing this, the other members of the dark forces turned pale with fright and fled in panic. Murong Yu, however, was not about to let them escape. He wielded the Chaos Breeze Sword, unleashing the "Breathless Breeze Demon-Slaying Whirlwind," where sharp sword energies crisscrossed, slicing down the fleeing black-robed figures. Liu Ruoli played "Sonic Chaos Impact," the sound waves transforming into blades that weaved through the black-robed crowd, felling wherever they touched. Su Yi also unleashed a forbidden dark technique, enveloping the remaining black-robed figures in black light, the dark power raging within them, causing them excruciating pain.

With the combined attack of everyone, the force of darkness was completely annihilated. A heavy stench of blood filled the valley, and the corpses of the black-robed men lay scattered on the ground, a scene of utter devastation. Zhang Peng and the others breathed a sigh of relief, their tense nerves finally relaxing.

"Thank you for arriving in time, Elder. If it weren't for you, we would probably be in grave danger today." Zhang Peng walked up to the Elder of Lingxiao Pavilion and bowed respectfully to express his gratitude once again.

The elder of Lingxiao Pavilion smiled and waved his hand: "No need to be polite. Your courage and sense of responsibility in fighting to the death against the dark forces to protect the cultivation world are admirable. Lingxiao Pavilion will naturally not sit idly by."

Murong Yu asked curiously, "Elder, how did you know we were here, and how did you manage to come to our aid?"

The elder of Lingxiao Pavilion's expression turned serious: "Recently, there have been undercurrents in the cultivation world. Lingxiao Pavilion has noticed unusual activities by the dark forces and has therefore strengthened its monitoring of all parties. Not long ago, we received information that the dark forces have been frequently active in the vicinity of this mountain forest, and we suspected that you might be here, so I came to check."

Liu Ruoli frowned slightly and said worriedly, "It seems that the dark forces have been watching us in the dark. Although we repelled them this time, they will definitely not let it go."

The elder of Lingxiao Pavilion nodded: "That's right. The dark forces have enormous ambitions. They are trying to control the entire cultivation world. The awakening of the power of the Stars Shining Through the World is a huge threat to them. They will definitely try every means to deal with you."

Zhang Peng clenched his fist, his eyes gleaming with determination: "No matter what their schemes are, we will not back down. We will protect the power of the stars and the cultivation world."

The elder of Lingxiao Pavilion looked at Zhang Peng with satisfaction: "It's good that you have this determination. The power of the Stars Shining Through the World is one of the strongest forces in the world, and its awakening will surely attract the attention of all parties. From now on, you must be even more careful."

As they were talking, a strange black rift suddenly appeared in the sky. A powerful aura of darkness surged from the rift, sending chills down everyone's spines.

"What is this?" Su Yi stared in horror at the crack in the sky.

Zhang Peng's expression turned solemn as he used the power of the Starry Sky to sense the power within the crack. "This is bad. This crack contains an extremely powerful dark force, several times stronger than the dark forces we encountered before."

The elder of Lingxiao Pavilion's expression changed drastically: "It seems that the dark forces have an even bigger conspiracy. They may have opened this rift, and there may be an even more terrible crisis hidden behind it."

Murong Yu gripped the Chaos Breeze Sword tightly: "No matter what the crisis, we will not be afraid!"

Liu Ruoli gently stroked her jade flute, preparing for battle.

Zhang Peng took a deep breath: "Everyone be careful and be prepared to deal with any emergencies."

Just then, a sinister laugh echoed from the crack: "Haha, Starry Sky Power, I've finally found you!" With the laughter, a gigantic black figure slowly emerged from the crack…
