Chapter 470: The Mysterious First City Lord
The old man standing in front of the four of Lingyun looked at the battle that had come to an end, and couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on his head. Although the battle was not very long, its intensity and losses were terrifying to the extreme.
There were at least nine Sanctuaries participating in the battle, and six of these nine Sanctuaries had directly fallen. Although these six people may not belong to the same force, even if it is a loss of a holy domain, it is a considerable price for some big families.
At the same time, the old man was secretly glad in his heart, glad that he didn't make a move just now. Looking at the ruthlessness of the doppelganger's attack, he had no doubt that if he also made a move, then there must be one of the corpses on the ground now.
"Ahem, there are still important things to do, so I won't stay here." The old man smiled ugly at the few people present, and then quickly left the place.
As for why the doppelganger disappeared directly, he was also in the mood not to think about it. As for why he called Ling Yun his essence, he didn't think about it that much, he just heard it as Ling Yun's name. After all, the continent is so big, it's normal to have some strange names.
As for the people who were secretly staring at the four of Ling Yun, they didn't dare to do it now. In their perception, the traces of the doppelganger have been completely captured. And in this case, it is very likely that the other party also has a special concealment technique in his hands, and this skill can also block the perception of mental power. The man with the dragon-shaped mask was so powerful in frontal combat, how terrifying would it be if he hid like an assassin and waited for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow? As soon as I thought of this, a chill rose in the hearts of those who were hidden in the dark.
At this time, the starlight around Chen Jing quietly disappeared. She slowly opened her eyes, and the stars flashed from her eyes, and then disappeared into the deepest part of her pupils.
"Looks like you've fully awakened the Star Body." Ling Yun felt the powerful power of the stars beside Chen Jing, and said with a smile.
"Hmm!" Chen Jing nodded vigorously, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, as the owner of the Star Body, she could feel the current situation of her body the most.
Although because she converted all the power in her body into the power of the stars, her realm once again fell to the realm of the first innate person, but she dared not exaggerate to say that her current self was able to beat three of herself.
Chen Jing was in the room to familiarize herself with the power of the stars she possessed. A little bit of starry light escaped around her, and it looked unusually gorgeous.
"Ling Yun, are you going out?" Su Wanyu looked at Ling Yun and asked.
"Well, I'm going to take a trip to the library in Shining Star City, where there might be something I want to know." Ling Yun said.
"What Ling Yun wants to know, could it be related to the Star Array?" Su Wanyue asked.
"That's right, there are still many doubts in this star array, and I think it's necessary to seriously investigate." Ling Yun nodded.
"Then let's wait for you to come back at the hotel, after all, we still have a lot of things to do today!" Su Wanyue said.
Ling Yun pointed his finger at the center of his eyebrows, and a translucent grinding disc appeared in the void: "I have temporarily embodied the soul grinding disc here, and you also use it to refine your soul." ”
Su Wanyue looked at the soul mill suspended in mid-air and nodded at Ling Yun.
After leaving the hotel, Ling Yun went directly to the largest library in Shining Star City. According to the information he heard, there is a historical record about Shining Star City in this library, although it is unlikely that there is any secret about Shining Star City here, but it is still very possible to find some information about the Star Array, after all, no one in this Shining Star City knows the true use of the Star Array, so it is naturally unlikely that this matter will be classified as a secret.
There was also a reason why Ling Yun thought of investigating the Star Array, because the feeling that this Star Array gave him was too weird. You must know that this star array was established nearly a thousand years ago based on one of his drawings. However, what made him feel strange was that after he came into contact with the Star Great Array for the first time, this formation completely accepted him, and at the same time, it also allowed him to completely control this magic array, which allowed him to turn the entire Star Great Array into a special domain in the battle last night, suppressing other sacred domains to expand their own domains, otherwise that battle would not have been so easy.
The most important point of this is that this big array has no connection with him, but after he entered the circle, he became the person with the highest authority in the circle, if it is a coincidence, it is absolutely impossible. Ling Yun's current idea was to see if he could find out who had built this Star Array, and see if he could find any clues from it.
"Hmm, judging from the records in this book, the person who built this Star Array in the first place should be the original city lord of Shining Star City?" Ling Yun closed the book in his hand and muttered in his heart.
There were already seven or eight books piled up beside him, and if you looked closely, the contents of these books were all records about the history of Shining Star City.
"The records in these books are quite uniform, and the person who built this Star Array and even Shining Star City is the first city lord. If I hadn't read so many books, I wouldn't have thought that Shining Star City would exist because of the Star Array, not after the Star Array. built a city for the sake of a formation, and that city lord is really generous! Ling Yun put the last book on the stack.
"However, this first city lord of Shining Star City is also too mysterious, and there is not much record in all the books." Ling Yun scratched his head in some distress.
In the library, there is a biography of the city lord of Shining Star City, which records the information of each city lord, to put it bluntly, it is a book that praises the merits of the city lord of Shining Star City, but even the record of the first city lord in this book is vague.
From the bits and pieces of records, Ling Yun came to some conclusions, this original city lord was a woman, and she was extremely powerful, otherwise she would not have been able to establish Bright Star City on her own after a thousand years of holy war. Moreover, this original city lord should be proficient in the way of formation and the power of the stars, otherwise it would be impossible to lay out the star array just by relying on his drawings. The most important point is that there is a great possibility that this original city lord is not from this world, but a traverser.
But there is one thing that cannot be explained, and that is the strange fit between this Star Array and Ling Yun. In a sense, this circle was like it was tailor-made for Ling Yun.
"It seems that this original city lord still has many secrets hidden in him!" Ling Yun put the books on the table back on the shelves and looked at a hanging painting in the library.
The painting is a self-portrait of the first castle lord, a deserted woman with a sword in her hand. The woman's body was shrouded in a piece of armor that shimmered with silver light, and she looked heroic. Behind the woman is Shining Star City. But Ling Yun saw a hint of dissonance in this painting, as if this painting should not have been like this.
The starry light that flashed in Ling Yun's eyes was the pupil of the stars that could see through the illusion, and under the amplification of the great array of stars, the ability of the pupil of the stars was urged by Ling Yun to the extreme, wanting to see through the truth of this painting.
In Ling Yun's field of vision, layers of mist began to appear on the painting in front of him. After passing through this layer of fog, Ling Yun finally saw the true face of the painting, which was still a woman holding a long sword. But the woman was standing on the top of the mountain, wearing a white palace robe, and only showing her back, so that people could not see her true face.
"This man...... It seems to give me a familiar feeling! Ling Yun looked at this painting and couldn't help but feel a little distracted, but Ling Yun carefully recalled his past, but found that there seemed to be no trace of this woman in his memory.
"Things seem to be getting interesting!" Ling Yun withdrew his gaze from the self-portrait and spoke slowly.
