Chapter 427: Chapter 353: The Person in the Star Robe
Horror Mountain was a forested mountain range running from the west of Yanluo Country all the way to the West Sea.
Various high-level Star Beasts abounded within, making it a well-known danger zone around Yanluo Country.
At this moment, the escort team had already arrived at the foot of Horror Mountain.
Wu Jianghao walked up to Su Yuan and the others, saying, “Envoys, ahead is Horror Mountain. Though we’re at the outer edge, where we generally don’t encounter any powerful Star Beasts, it’s still best to be cautious. After crossing Horror Mountain, we’ll be close to the borders of Yanluo Country. If everything goes smoothly, we should arrive in a day or two.”
“Alright. We’ll follow Manager Wu’s instructions,” Su Yuan and the others responded.
Wu Jianghao nodded with a smile, then began reassigning scouting tasks to his subordinates before leading the team into Horror Mountain.
The mountain was rather rugged and steep. However, Wu Jianghao had already selected a path in advance. Besides, everyone, as well as the Solid Rock Dragons, could fly, so it was not difficult.
As Wu Jianghao had mentioned, the escort team was in the easternmost corner of Horror Mountain.
Along the way, they only encountered two Gold Level Star Beasts, which were easily dealt with.
The escort team passed through Horror Mountain without any obstacles, finally crossing it successfully.
“It went surprisingly smoothly,” Wu Jianghao breathed a sigh of relief after crossing Horror Mountain.
Despite the previous incidents with the Hundred Flames Association and West Channel River, Wu Jianghao did not relax. He grew even more anxious, afraid something else might happen.
“Little Ke, Zhou An, you two go scout ahead. Though we’re out of Horror Mountain, stay vigilant and be careful,” Wu Jianghao instructed them.
“Got it, Brother Hao!”
They responded and went ahead to continue scouting.
Su Yuan and the others continued onward with the escort team.
In the group, Su Yuan’s gaze swept over several prisoners.
Qiong Ying remained unusually quiet, crouching in her cell without saying a word.
The other prisoners, like Wei Jinxiang, also behaved themselves.
Tang Jiao took out a map and said, “Ahead is Yunze Valley. After Yunze Valley is a plain that leads directly to the southernmost city of Yanluo Country.”
“Not thrilling enough…” Xiong Chunyang smacked his lips. “I thought this trip would be more exciting, but it was just the Hundred Flames Association…”
Lin Chongyun frowned and said, “Isn’t it better to complete the task smoothly? Last time at West Channel River, if not for Su Yuan, they would have escaped.”
“I wasn’t awake. If I were, I could’ve handled it…”
Xiong Chunyang said confidently but hesitated when he saw Su Yuan’s calm face, recalling the chest-piercing strike. His confidence wavered.
Lin Chongyun shook his head, “Some things may not be as simple as you think.”
Just then, Lin Chongyun sensed something and looked ahead.
“It seems there’s movement ahead!”

Lin Chongyun’s perception was extremely sharp. Upon hearing this, Su Yuan immediately used his All-Knowing Vision to probe into the distance.
His expression changed slightly as his eyes narrowed.
“It seems getting to Yanluo won’t be so smooth after all…”
In the depths of Yunze Valley, the scouts Little Ke and Zhou An were missing. A blonde youth sat on a strange beast’s back deep in the valley.
The blonde youth had striking features, bright hair, and wore a white uniform adorned with many gold stars, resembling an elegant noble.
The beast beneath him was exceptionally ugly, with half a human leg hanging from its mouth.
The clothing on this half-leg was that of the escort team’s supervisors!
“Be careful! There’s someone ahead. If I’m not mistaken, our two scouts have already been killed by them!” Su Yuan quickly informed the team of what he had discovered.
Everyone was shocked, “What, Little Ke and Zhou An are dead?!”
Wu Jianghao was also visibly startled. He quickly used a Communication Talisman to contact them, but received no reply. His face darkened.
“Seems like a powerful foe?” Xiong Chunyang was suddenly excited. “Let me check it out first!”
Before he finished speaking, Xiong Chunyang charged forward.
“Xiong Chunyang is so reckless!” Tang Jiao furrowed her brows. Though the opponent appeared alone, anyone daring to block their path alone couldn’t be easy to deal with.
But Xiong Chunyang was thinking about the time with the Hundred Flames Association when he killed the most enemies, including President Wei Jinrui, earning the most battle merit.
However, Su Yuan’s subsequent kills and the capture of prisoners also earned him significant merit.
As they neared Yanluo Country, Xiong Chunyang felt the need to secure more merit.
This opponent seemed powerful, a perfect target for merit!
Besides, he had never feared single combat, not even during his time in the Western Desert.
Tang Jiao felt uneasy and leaped forward, saying to Su Yuan and Lin Chongyun, “I’ll go help him. You two check the surroundings first!”
“No problem.”
Su Yuan and Lin Chongyun agreed.
Xiong Chunyang and Tang Jiao were both strong. Together, they should handle it.
For the mission, ensuring the prisoners’ safety was paramount.
Su Yuan and Lin Chongyun used their abilities to scan the surroundings carefully.
Noticing the change in the situation, Qiong Ying in the cage also lifted her head, looking around with interest.
Wu Jianghao gathered three Solid Rock Dragons together. The supervisors under his command surrounded them, watching vigilantly.
Suddenly, Su Yuan sensed a strange distortion through his All-Knowing Vision.
Something was wrong!
Almost simultaneously, Lin Chongyun drew his Thunderclap Great Bow, pulling the string as thunder gathered on it. He turned and shot an arrow into the air.
The Thunder Light Arrow traversed hundreds of meters, seemingly hitting something invisible. Brilliant silver lightning exploded in the air.
“Crack! Boom!…”
The lightning burst, silver electricity surged, turning everything nearby into dust!
“Such strong power!”
The group was shocked by Lin Chongyun’s sudden powerful attack. They turned to the source of the thunder.
As the lightning dissipated, a shadowy figure emerged.
This was a young man with black hair and dark eyes, slender, with ordinary features, the kind that blended into a crowd.
His eyes lacked light, deep bags under them as if he hadn’t slept well for long.
Surprisingly, the recent thunderous attack hadn’t left a trace on him. It was as if Lin Chongyun’s attack had never hit him.
Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed, “So, he’s with that man from before…”
This man wore the same white uniform with golden stars as the one sitting on the beast. However, the patterns of the stars varied slightly.
“This pattern looks familiar…”
Su Yuan hadn’t paid much attention before. Now, he noticed the difference in their star patterns and felt a sense of familiarity.
“That’s right, it’s a constellation!”
Su Yuan recalled the golden star patterns on the white uniform resembled the constellation of Pisces!
“What’s your purpose following us?” Lin Chongyun shouted.
The black-haired youth absentmindedly turned a Source Pearl, glanced at the escort team, and flew over without a word.
This approach wasn’t friendly. Lin Chongyun furrowed his brows and readied his bow again.
“Thunderstorm!”
With a low shout, countless Thunder Light Arrows like a downpour shot into the air, covering half the sky in moments!
Not only Lin Chongyun, Wu Jianghao and the others unleashed their ranged skills.
“Great Flame Burst!”
“Fierce Gold Cannon!”
“Flying Sky Shining Light Slash!”
Even Su Yuan formed a seal and unleashed the Eighteen-in-One Hellfire on the spot!
The myriad attacks roared forth. Shockingly, the black-haired youth in the Pisces star robe seemed unharmed, the attacks passing through him.
When the attacks ceased, the black-haired youth remained unscathed!
“Not strong enough?”
Lin Chongyun’s eyes chilled. The ring on his finger flashed, producing a green lightning arrow for his bow.
Su Yuan noticed this arrow, recognizing it as crafted from Green Divine Shining Thunder Bamboo.
Lin Chongyun nocked the Green Divine Shining Thunder Bamboo arrow, stomping down as silver currents surged up!
Thunder roared, lightning swirled!
The massive currents honed in on the bamboo arrow. In moments, it became a silver arrow brimming with ominous runes!
Lin Chongyun’s eyes widened, locking onto the black-haired youth. Thunders crackled in his gaze.
The black-haired youth felt thunder roar in his mind, his body stiffening.
It was the Thunder Fury Vision!
The Pupil Skill took effect. Lin Chongyun released the fully drawn bowstring.
“Flying Thunder God’s Arrow!”
The string thrummed as the arrow shot out like aurora, piercing the black-haired youth’s body and flying into the skies!
“Such an impressive attack!” Su Yuan admired inwardly.
Thunder was known for its destructive power. This shot, utilizing Thunder Furystä
This arrow seemed to rival Void in power, perhaps even surpassing it in overall destructiveness.
Everyone marveled at the arrow, eyes fixed on the silver-light-filled chest of the black-haired youth.
“This shot should be fatal!” Wu Jianghao and others thought.
However, as the silver light faded, a layer of black light covered the youth’s body. He was unscathed, even his robe undamaged.
“What…”
Gasps of shock echoed as everyone stared at the star-robed youth in disbelief.
“How is he unscathed?”
“Impossible. Even Radiant Moon Level couldn’t take that hit unscathed!”
“Illusion Technique? Must be!”
The initial shock turned to fear.
All fear stemmed from insufficient firepower.
Facing an indestructible enemy, or rather one they couldn’t harm at all, filled the supervisors with dread.
At this moment, the black-haired youth recovered from the Thunder Fury Vision.
He glanced at Lin Chongyun. In a step, he appeared before him and, with a hand like a blade, pierced his chest…
