When the Great Void Mirror disappeared completely, the three Star Masters finally stopped transferring Odylic Force.
The short two to three minutes the Great Void Mirror was activated had drained a significant amount of Odylic Force within the three’s bodies. They only had one-third of their Odyl remaining compared to the time when they were at their peak.
Fortunately, nothing went wrong in between. They were relieved.
Apart from that man in white robe and mask, they had gotten the answers they needed about the rest.
The three of them were satisfied with the results from using the Great Void Mirror.
They stood up one after the other in the Stargazing Pavilion.
“What do we do next? Should we reveal the three spies’ identities first? Or should we keep the matter under wraps and get the three organizations they’re from to handle it themselves?” The Star Master who was the most muscular asked the other two.
His name was Zhao Ji. He was the only combat cultivator among the four Star Masters from the Star Cluster.
To be exact, he majored as a combat cultivator as well as a spear cultivator.
When one was at heavenly dao-level, it was rare for one to be a pure combat cultivator. They would basically have another main cultivation direction to match their current cultivation.
In the entire Eastern Eight Zone, including him, there were only three heavenly dao-level combat cultivators.
“I think you’re overthinking things. The three people who knew that we were going to use the Great Void Mirror must’ve escaped from the beginning.” A young Star Master who looked like he was only in his 20s shook his head whilst smiling. “Although we only said that we’d investigate Xia Bing and the Longevity Tribe during the meeting, anyone who’s not too dumb would know that we definitely wouldn’t miss the chance to conduct a thorough investigation while using the Great Void Mirror this time.”
“The more time we waste now, the more time those three will have to hide. We should make the information public now directly and release a joint manhunt order. They’ll be caught off guard!”
The Star Master who looked the youngest among the three was called Guan Yi. In reality, he was the oldest one among them. He remained in his youthful form because he did not like appearing old.
“However, it’s not nice to make the investigation results from the Great Void Mirror public directly without informing the three organizations.” The middle-aged man who looked to be in his early 40s finally spoke.
His name was Wan Peng. He looked the oldest, but he was actually the youngest among the three, and he had the least experience. He was the last to join Star Cluster among the four Star Masters.
“We definitely can’t reveal the information directly. It’d be too disrespectful.” Zhao Ji frowned slightly for a moment before speaking again, “We’ll inform the decision-makers, excluding the three organizations and the three people, via text. We’ll also inform them that we’ll be making the information public instantly to avoid letting the three people escape. All of the seven organizations will arrest those three people!”
“I think that’s a good idea.” Wan Peng nodded immediately.
“Up to you guys. I’m too lazy to text anyway.” Guan Yi flung his sleeves and appeared outside the Stargazing Pavilion in a flash.
“How was it? Did you guys get any results?” As soon as Guan Yi got out, the Star Master in a black dress above the Stargazing Pavilion could not help but ask out of curiosity.
Her name was Xing Ling’er, one of the Star Masters of Star Cluster. She was also the founder Xing Wuji’s daughter.
“It can be considered successful. Apart from that guy in a mask whom we didn’t find any information about, we found out the identity of those few spies from the Black Abyss.” Guan Yi nodded and looked around before asking, “Nothing unusual happened here, right?”
“Would I be sitting here so casually if something had gone wrong?” Xing Ling’er appeared next to Guan Yi in a flash while smiling. “Who are the three spies? Can you tell me?”
Zhao Ji and Wan Peng exited the Stargazing Pavilion in a flash as soon as Xing Ling’er spoke those words.
Guan Yi peeped at the two of them. Seeing that Zhao Ji was writing the text with his head lowered, Wan Peng did not deny her request and spoke slowly.
“The Longevity Tribe’s…”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just as Guan Yi had spoken, four black arrow gleams shot out with terrifying speed.
Their targets were the four Star Cluster’s Star Masters!
They arrived before the four of them almost instantly.
The four of them shrunk their pupils almost at the same time.
Guan Yi failed to dodge. He could only tilt his body slightly to avoid the attack from penetrating his heart. The black electric arc hit his chest instead.
His entire body was thrown out uncontrollably and hit hard against the Stargazing Pavilion.
The starlight barrier Xing Ling’er had set up, which enveloped the entire Stargazing Pavilion, collapsed instantly. After Guan Yi’s body penetrated the barrier, he slammed into the Stargazing Pavilion.
In reality, the Stargazing Pavilion’s nature was that of a spiritual treasure. Its toughness was evident, but it was still broken when Guan Yi smashed into it.
Among the other three, Zhao Ji was a combat cultivator, and had the fastest speed among the four Star Masters.
However, he was busy writing the text. It was already too late by the time he reacted. He could only avoid the attack hitting his vital points.
Still, the arrow took his left arm.
Wan Peng and Xing Ling’er were the only ones who managed to dodge the attack and remained unscathed.
Nevertheless, the two of them looked terrible. Never had they thought that they would be attacked at the Star Cluster’s headquarters.
Not only that, Zhao Ji who had the most powerful ability among the four of them was injured badly by that one attack. Guan Yi’s aura had also clearly dropped. It was uncertain as to whether he could participate in the battle.
“Old Guan! Are you alright?” Although Zhao Ji was hurt, he shouted at Guan Yi immediately.
“I’m not dead!” Guan Yi yelled in reply, but he said the second half of his sentence to the three of them through voice transmission, “I can’t join the battle within a short period of time.”
At that moment, four figures in black robes and masks appeared suddenly.
The four of them looked almost the same. They were covered in black robes from head to toe; only their masks were different.
One looked like an inexperienced youth, one looked like a fiend, one had a swollen face and one wore a mask of a fox.
Xing Ling’er scoffed. “Don’t think we don’t know who you guys are! Do you think you can hide yourselves just by wearing a mask?!”
The four of them said nothing and attacked directly.
The man with a mask that looked like an inexperienced youth pounced at Xing Ling’er directly.
The person with the swollen face mask pounced at Wan Peng.
Meanwhile, the fiend-faced masked man pounced on Zhao Ji, who had lost an arm.
The last person in a fox mask charged toward the collapsed Stargazing Pavilion, targeting Guan Yi who had lost much of his combat strength.
“How dare you?!” Zhao Ji shouted in rage when he saw that.
He shook his spear and forced the fiend-faced masked man to retreat. He attacked the person in the fox mask.
The person in the fox mask went forward instead of retreating. Just when the two were about to collide, a blue glow lit up within the pupils of the person under the fox mask.
Zhao Ji stopped moving at that very second.
However, at that moment, a black electric arc shot forth.
It took advantage of Zhao Ji’s split-second pause and penetrated his eye directly. The black electric arc shot through his head…
“There’s an archer hiding!” Wan Peng exclaimed immediately.
They thought that the archer had been hiding among the four masked people earlier. Never had they thought that there would be a fifth person hiding..
