Chapter 291 Huge Threat
Xuan Feng's words were like thunder, exploding in the silent conference room. The Blood Evil Alliance, this name existed like a nightmare in the Nine Star Realm, representing killing, plundering, and endless darkness. Everyone understood that if the Blood Evil Alliance really pointed its spearhead at the Star Pavilion, what awaited them would be a tragic battle.
Nan Li's face was solemn, with a cold light flashing in her beautiful eyes: "Is the news reliable?"
Xuan Feng's forehead was covered with sweat, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "It is absolutely true. I have confirmed it repeatedly."
A depressing atmosphere enveloped the entire meeting room. The new member, Zhao Wanwan, looked even paler, with her slender fingers tightly clenched on the corner of her clothes, obviously frightened by the sudden news.
Gao Xingchen remained silent, but his clenched fists and slightly trembling body revealed his inner restlessness at the moment. The threat from the Blood Evil Alliance, the turmoil within the Xingchen Pavilion, and all kinds of pressure were like mountains, pressing him so hard that he could hardly breathe.
As night fell, stars scattered across the sky, covering the earth with a layer of silver. Gao Xingchen stood alone on the observation deck of the Xingchen Pavilion, looking up at the vast starry sky, his heart filled with confusion and self-doubt.
"Xingchen, what are you thinking about?"
A gentle voice came from behind him. Gao Xingchen knew it was Nan Li without turning around. He turned around and tried to force a smile: "Nothing, just thinking about something."
Nan Li walked up to him and followed his gaze towards the starry sky. The cold moonlight fell on her beautiful face, adding a touch of mystery to her. "Are you still worried about the Blood Demon Alliance?"
Gao Xingchen sighed softly and did not deny it. "The Blood Demon Alliance is much stronger than us, and..." He paused, seeming to find it difficult to speak.
"And what?" Nan Li asked, keenly aware of Gao Xingchen's emotional changes.
Gao Xingchen was silent for a moment, and finally made up his mind. He slowly said, "I... I am a little doubtful about myself. Am I too idealistic? Is it really possible to establish the Xingchen Pavilion and overthrow the rule of the Tianlang Gang?" His voice became lower and lower, and his tone was full of confusion and self-doubt.
Nan Li listened quietly without saying anything, but the gleam in her eyes showed that she had guessed what Gao Xingchen was thinking...
Nan Li reached out and held Gao Xingchen's hand. The warm touch warmed his heart. "Xingchen, have you forgotten the original intention of our establishment of Xingchen Pavilion?" Her voice was gentle but firm. "We want to give those who are oppressed and exploited hope, a place where they can live freely and pursue their dreams. This road is destined to be full of thorns, but we can't give up because of temporary difficulties."
Gao Xingchen smiled bitterly, "But the Blood Evil Alliance is much more powerful than we imagined. Can we really defeat them?" He looked at Nan Li, his eyes full of confusion and struggle.
"I believe you can do it," Nan Li answered without hesitation, her eyes firm and confident, "You have extraordinary talents, and more importantly, you have an upright and kind heart. I believe that as long as we unite, we will be able to overcome all difficulties."
Gao Xingchen looked at Nan Li's determined eyes, and a spark of hope ignited in his heart. Yes, he couldn't give up so easily, he still had dreams, and there were so many people who needed his protection.
"Thank you, Nanli," Gao Xingchen took a deep breath and clenched his fists. "I will cheer up, for Xingchen Pavilion, for our dreams, and for you."
Nanli smiled slightly and said nothing more, but her eyes said it all.
At the same time, in the training ground of Xingchen Pavilion, Xuanfeng was looking at the members with low morale in front of him with a frown. Since the news of the Blood Evil Alliance came, the entire Xingchen Pavilion was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere, and the members' training also lost their former enthusiasm and vitality.
"We can't go on like this," Xuan Feng thought to himself, "We must find a way to boost morale, otherwise we will collapse before the Blood Demon Alliance attacks us."
He walked to the center of the training ground and said loudly: "Everyone, I know everyone is worried recently, but we can't be defeated by fear! Although the Blood Demon Alliance is powerful, we are not easy to mess with! As long as we unite, we will be able to defeat them!"
His voice was loud and powerful, but it did not arouse much reaction from the members. They still lowered their heads, their eyes full of confusion and anxiety.
Xuan Feng's heart sank. He knew that the situation was more serious than he had imagined. He had to find a solution as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous...
Xuan Feng's words echoed in the air above the training ground, but they seemed to have fallen into the sea without causing any waves. He sighed helplessly. Was Xingchen Pavilion really going to be destroyed?
At this moment, a clear voice broke the silence, "I believe in Xingchen Pavilion!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl in tight clothes looking at Xuan Feng with burning eyes. Her name was Zhao Wanwan, and she was a new member who had recently joined Xingchen Pavilion.
"What do you know?" A burly man snorted disdainfully, "The Blood Demon Alliance is not someone we can afford to offend. We can save our lives if we disband it early!"
"No, I believe in you!" Zhao Wanwan ignored the man's ridicule and walked straight to Gao Xingchen and bowed deeply. "Master, I have lived in dire straits since I was a child. It is you and Xingchen Pavilion that gave me hope. I will never betray Xingchen Pavilion!"
Gao Xingchen looked at the energetic girl in front of him, and his heart was moved. He remembered the original intention of establishing Xingchen Pavilion. Wasn't it to give hope to people like Zhao Wanwan?
"Thank you, Wanwan." Gao Xingchen's voice was a little hoarse, but his tone was unusually firm. "You're right. I can't just give up like this."
He raised his head, looked around at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "I know everyone is scared, but we can't be defeated by fear! Although the Blood Demon Alliance is powerful, we are not easy to mess with! As long as we unite, we will be able to defeat them!"
Although Gao Xingchen's words were brief, they were full of power, inspiring everyone present. Zhao Wanwan was even more excited, she clenched her fists, her heart full of hope.
Gao Xingchen walked up to Zhao Wanwan, patted her on the shoulder, and asked, "Why do you want to join Xingchen Pavilion?"
Zhao Wanwan answered without hesitation: "Because I believe in the philosophy of Xingchen Pavilion, I believe that the Pavilion Master can lead us to create a better world!"
Gao Xingchen looked at Zhao Wanwan's determined eyes, and the fire in his heart that was about to go out burned again. He knew that he was not fighting alone, he had many companions, and they all had the same dream as him.
Zhao Wanwan's words were like a shot of adrenaline, temporarily dispelling the haze in Gao Xingchen's heart. However, when it was late at night and he was pacing alone in his study, the heaviness and confusion came over him again. The threat of the Blood Evil Alliance was like a mountain, weighing him down. He began to doubt himself, doubting whether the decision to establish the Xingchen Pavilion was correct, and doubting whether he was really capable of leading the Xingchen Pavilion to glory.
At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and Nan Li, dressed in white, like a fairy from the Moon Palace, quietly came to his side. "Are you still worried about what happened today?" She asked softly, with a hint of worry in her tone.
Gao Xingchen smiled bitterly and nodded, "Am I too useless? Facing the threat of the Blood Demon Alliance, I have no way to deal with it."
Nan Li gently held his hand, with a determined light in her eyes, "You are not useless, you just haven't found the right direction yet." She paused, and then said: "Although the Xingchen Pavilion is powerful, it is weak after all. If we want to fight against the Blood Evil Alliance, we must seek help from other forces."
"You mean..." Gao Xingchen's heart moved, and he vaguely guessed her thoughts.
"We can unite with other forces that have grudges against the Blood Demon Alliance and fight against them together." A gleam of light flashed in Nan Li's eyes, "Only in this way can we prove the value of the Star Pavilion and shut up those who doubt us!"
Gao Xingchen's eyes lit up. Nan Li's words were like a flash of lightning, illuminating his confused path ahead. He stood up suddenly, his eyes full of hope, "You're right! We can't just sit there and wait for death. We must take the initiative!"
However, just as Gao Xingchen was about to implement a new strategy, Xuan Feng rushed in with a letter in his hand, his face pale and beads of sweat on his forehead. "Master, something happened!" He handed the letter to Gao Xingchen and said in a trembling voice, "This is... This is an urgent letter from the Shadow Guard."
Gao Xingchen's heart sank. The Shadow Guard was an intelligence organization founded by Nan Li, which was spread throughout the Nine Star Realm. They would only contact him directly when encountering major events. He took the letter and opened it quickly, but the content of the letter made him feel like he was falling into an icy cave.
"Xingchen Pavilion...huge threat..." Gao Xingchen muttered to himself, his face becoming extremely ugly. The letter did not elaborate on what the threat was, but only said that it was a serious matter and that he must be vigilant.
"What on earth happened?" Nan Li realized the seriousness of the matter and asked anxiously.
Gao Xingchen took a deep breath and handed the letter to her, his eyes filled with solemnity, "We may be in even bigger trouble..."
