The astral plane is suspended in the west of the continent, in the territory of the astral consortium, the city of the starry sky.

This majestic and magnificent city standing on the continent is as always, shrouded in the night of the astral plane all year round, tall and luxurious buildings are all over the sky, and the ecological dome is charged by the starry sky, emitting a dreamy purple light, covering all areas of the entire city, through the dark purple defensive barrier, you can see the intricate streets below, a large number of ethereal spirits and otherworldly creatures come and go, announcing the prosperity of the city that never sleeps.

However, this ancient city, which is like the plane itself, has also undergone some changes at this time.

At each entrance to the Dome, the number of Ethereal Guards deployed has increased several times, and there are even legendary Ethereal Commanders hovering in the sky, and countless crystal platforms are constantly coming and going in the Starry Sky Tower and the city's periphery, like satellites surrounding and defending the entire city.

Despite all this time, the atmosphere in the city still seems a little stiff, and the ethereals are no longer immersed in the pride of being a super-civilized race, and the whole city seems to be a lot quieter.

In the battle of Starry Sky City, the barbarian Bull Man Rexeton forcibly broke through the defense of the Ecological Dome from the front, almost destroyed half of the Starry Sky City, and slaughtered the powerful Ethereal Commander and even the demigods, a Star Judge fell on the spot, the daughter of the Star Lord Arria was directly robbed, and the catastrophic warrior's invincible figure like a demon god descended forever engraved the traces of fear in the hearts of many ethereal spirits.

This battle, which has allowed them to enjoy and immerse themselves in peace for too long, and the ethereal spirits, who have always regarded themselves as a super civilized race in the spatial axis, have reminisced about the taste of hatred and blood, and the ancient dark history of the Noria plane has resurfaced with the return of the Star Lord Moran and the awakening of Arria.

Calamity!

Although not as terrifying as the first generation of illagers countless centuries ago, the barbarian Rexeton single-handedly swept through the entire Starry Sky City. It has also sounded the alarm for the Ethereal Clan, so that all people, including the Star Lord, know that danger has befallen them once again.

He will eventually, like the first Calamity, ascend to the highest mythical level in the agony of curse and hatred devouring his heart, and return to the Starry Sky City with calamity and doom. At that time, the six lords of the starry sky, who had already suffered a great loss of vitality, might not really be able to stop the attack of the calamity warriors again, and the ancient civilization of the Astral Consortium would probably be destroyed overnight and subverted in the hands of an invincible mythical powerhouse.

This uneasiness shook even the starry sky lord Moran, who would not let such a terrifying enemy grow up in the future.

Under the order of the supreme star lord oracle, the huge astral consortium has launched a frantic search within the entire astral plane, and they have sent all the manpower they can send to contact every race and force they can influence. Even bounties were issued in all planes, calling on the powerhouses of the different planes to come and hunt down the illamer warriors.

Because the Calamity warriors have natural restraint and suppression when dealing with ethereal spirits, ordinary demigod-level ethereal spirits are vulnerable in the hands of Rexton, and asking for help is the best way.

Up. Their search has reached the end of the world and the bottomless abyss, spreading into the Void Storm, and even beginning to explore the eternal burning sea in which almost no one can survive, and will not let go of any clues.

Among the four major territory cities of the Astral Consortium, all of them have strengthened their defenses to the greatest extent, especially the starry sky city where the star lord Arria is located. Moran, the Starlord of the Sky, stays in the city at all times, protecting the safety of Arria, who has lost her godhead, and preventing the Barbarian Lexton from attacking again.

The Starlord Arria was the one who started this ancient war, taking revenge by plundering and crushing the Norian plane, destroying almost the entire Brute. With his daughter snatched from him, and his godhead from him, the mythical ethereal spirit has lost almost everything and is grappling with grief.

As long as he can kill Arria again and let him die in grief and despair. Renxton's quest for revenge on a mythical creature is complete!

Because of this, the city of stars has almost been a bit of a rumor for some time, not long ago, the astrologer with whom they were "not too friendly" sent an astral judge to visit, and Arria, who was rumored to have lost his godhead, did not even dare to meet in person.

A god without a godhead is not even as good as a demigod.

In addition to the hunt, wanted, and bounty on Renxton, on the other hand, the Astral Consortium and even the astrologers are wanted for seven adventurers from many aspects of Karan, although they are not the main wanted targets, but they are still important enough, and the Astral Consortium has banned any multi-faceted creatures of Karan from entering the city.

However, apart from Wang Mo and them, there are no players in the Astral Plane who have many facets of Karan.

In the streets and alleys of the Starry Sky City, where no one would notice, there was a dark shadow lurking quietly, he was quietly hidden in the darkness under the cover of night and shadows, and on his face under the hood, the intricate and mysterious magic patterns flickered gently, but the face was no longer human.

He was the arcane mage Xiluo who left Wang Mo and the others and acted alone.

Xiluo has been lurking in the starry sky city for a long time, or since he entered the city, he has never left, like a ghost wandering and shuttling between the streets and lanes of the city, in the city of the starry sky in the city of the stars, when Wang Mo and others hijacked the starry sky princess, Xiluo did not appear, at that time he was hiding in the dark, silently watching the whole battle, and never showed up.

When Wang Mo sent him a message, warning him that the path from the astral plane to the player's world had been closed, and he couldn't leave if he didn't leave, Xiluo was completely indifferent, and didn't think about going to Wang Mo and the others to join him.

Even when the Astral Consortium issued a wanted warrant for all the creatures with many facets of Karan, Xiluo had been lurking in the Starry Sky City - the hinterland of the Astral Consortium, and probably even the Starry Sky Lord could not have imagined that there would be remnants of the adventurers who deliberately avoided the mythical creatures who came to kidnap the Starry Sky Princess.

During the period of separation from Wang Mo and the others, Xi Luo used Transfiguration to change his appearance every day, transforming himself into the most common otherworldly creatures in this city - the Ellens from the Granda plane, and the orcs from the Okagus plane. Argonians from Hagrid's plane, etc., to deceive the ethereals in Starry City.

With Xiluo's strength, most of the ethereal spirits would not be able to penetrate his transfiguration, and he would also use his keen perception and consciousness to be cautious. Avoiding some powerful legendary-level ethereal spirits, so much so that he stayed in Starry Sky City for three weeks, and no one found out that he was actually from the same plane as Wang Mo and the others.

During this period, Xiluo walked the streets and alleys of the city, carefully avoiding the patrol guards and the ethereal commanders, talking and talking to various otherworldly creatures and ethereal spirits in the city, and every day he traveled to different areas of the starry sky city, not only to maintain flexibility and security, but also to ensure that he could collect different intelligence.

He and Wang Mo did the task in different ways. After being reborn, Wang Mo either followed some established routes in his previous life to do tasks, and when he encountered some tasks that he had never had before, Wang Mo would explore and ask about the methods and clues to complete the tasks from some major aspects, and in the middle and late stages, the task NPCs that contacted Wang Mo. Basically, they are above the Legend level, such as Faction Leader, Eleven Sages, Dragon Legion, Calamity Warrior, and so on.

And Xiluo is used to everything being unknown and groping by himself, so he will use all kinds of small means and small interests. Extract a little seemingly inconsequential information from ordinary NPCs and small people, and then carefully calculate, and finally get the information he needs, for which he may spend weeks for an important task.

What Xi Luo did this time was not a mission, what he did was only one purpose. And he has been preparing for this for a long time, three weeks ago, he just came to Starry Sky City, he didn't know anything about this place, and he needed to learn the language under the leadership of Wang Mo and Black Arrow, and prepare survival props.

And in these three weeks. He's perfectly prepared, and now, he's going to do it.

Xiluo squatted slightly on the ground, carefully hiding his figure, he closed his eyes, the magic pattern under the hood shone slightly, and the images naturally appeared in his mind, through which he could observe all the situation on the street ahead.

When a group of epic patrol guards left the street with neat steps, Xi Luo opened his eyes, stood up and stroked the cloak on his body, his whole body made a slight sound, and his figure immediately rose sharply, and when he raised his head again, his appearance was completely different.

Disguised, Xi Luo walked out of the alleyway, casually walking on the street, there is no difference between day and night on the astral plane, and the streets of the starry sky city are always filled with a large number of ethereal spirits and otherworldly creatures, very lively, he quickly and naturally blended into the lively crowd on the street, lurking in this bustling city that makes people relax their vigilance, and walking in the direction of the starry sky tower not far away, the pace is not hurried or slow.

The Starry Sky Tower stands in the center of the city, powering the entire city and the ecological dome, so it is also the only forbidden area in the Starry Sky City that civilians and otherworldly creatures are not allowed to enter, and no one has ever dared to trespass in this area, and the base of the Starry Sky Tower is guarded and guarded by a large number of ethereal soldiers and commanders.

Xiluo quickly stepped out of the noisy crowd and walked along a deserted road towards the Starry Sky Tower.

The bustling hustle and bustle of the crowd gradually disappeared from his side, and the surroundings were quiet again, Xiluo lowered his head slightly, closed his eyes again, and let the magic pattern vision replace his own eyes, observing everything around him three hundred and sixty degrees, and at the same time turned the corner of the street and continued to walk forward.

He had observed the terrain from afar countless times, and with his clear mind and memory, he could say that he knew it all by heart, so he walked calmly through the streets, getting closer and closer to the Starry Sky Tower, which was towering into the sky and towering to the sky, becoming more and more magnificent before his eyes.

"Civilians and otherworldly creatures stop, this is not the place for you!"

Not long after Xi Luo left, a sudden shout suddenly sounded, in Xi Luo's spell vision, in the direction of the Starry Sky Tower in the distance, six teams of ethereal soldiers were running towards here, Xi Luo stood in place, their speed was also very fast, and they rushed to Xi Luo's side in a few seconds, surrounding him.

"This is the forbidden area of the Starry Sky Tower, and the civilians of the city and the creatures of the other world cannot be approached, didn't you get a warning when you entered the city?" The captain of this team of ethereal soldiers, a two-hundred-level epic ethereal spirit, stepped forward. came to Xiluo's front and scolded. "Get out of here before you get punished."

Xiluo stretched out his hand and naturally pulled down his hood, revealing a slightly swarthy face. A smile skillfully appeared on the originally expressionless face - it was a strange face with no nose bridge, only two small nostrils, pupils showing a reddish luster, and extremely thin lips slightly purple, obviously the appearance of some otherworldly creature.

And the magic pattern had disappeared from his face before he knew it.

"I'm a red-eyed man from the Ankarun plane, and you can look up my name on the Starry Sky Tower's visitor list. Seth, I have been invited by the Consortium to serve Lord Arria. Xi Luo smiled and said in the ethereal language, his tone was extremely natural, mixed with a little deliberately disguised stiffness.

The ethereal captain who stood in front of Xi Luo was a flurry. But he still didn't order his subordinates to relax the siege of Xiluo, but immediately became a lot more polite.

"I've heard of you, and the Lord Commander has praised the food you make for being a delicacy in the starry sky, but we must ensure the safety of the Starry Sky Tower, so please show me the pass issued by the Astral Consortium."

"Of course." Xiluo looked calm. Smiling, he unhurriedly took out a purple crystal engraved with the Astral Consortium emblem from his waist and handed it to Captain Ethereal.

The Ethereal Captain carefully observed the emblem crystal, and after a moment, he nodded to the legendary Ethereal Soldiers around him, and they immediately put down their weapons and took a step back neatly, making way for Xiluo.

"I'm very sorry. Dear Mr. Seth, we are also following the procedure, now let us escort you to the Tower of the Stars, please follow me. Captain Ethereal Spirit made an astral plane apology to Xi Luo, and then stepped aside as well.

"Please lead the way." Xi Luo also said politely.

Captain Ethereal took his identification and walked in the direction of the Starry Sky Tower. The five Ethereal Spirit soldiers all turned around at the same time, and under the leadership of the Ethereal Captain, they followed on both sides of Xiluo, and walked forward in a neat manner.

Surrounded by them, Xiluo lowered his head slightly again and pulled his hood, his eyes flickering in the shadows. The arc of the smile at the corner of his mouth slowly converged, and he became expressionless again, and on that slightly dark face, complex magic patterns resurfaced.

He spent a whole week investigating all the visitors to the Tower of the Stars for a month, and finally locked down the man named Stro. Seth's chef, through various investigations, found Stello. At the inn where Seth was staying, Shiloh lurked quietly around the inn and waited for the right time, until three days later, Stello. It was only when Seth was out that he used seductive humanoids in the streets to lead him to the dark and deep alleyways, where he killed him neatly and disposed of the corpse with dissociation.

That was exactly what happened a day before from Stello. Seth's body, Shiloh finds his identification, as well as all the objects that can prove his identity, allowing him to disguise himself as the chef.

And now, he was following a group of ethereal soldiers, according to the plan, in the direction of the Starry Sky Tower.

"Excuse me, is the guard of the Starry Sky Tower always so strict?" Xi Luo walked down the road, asked casually and coldly, and then added with a smile, "This is the first time that I have been interrogated in a free city-state like Starry Sky City. ”

"Yes, Mr. Seth, especially after the last incident." Captain Ethereal Spirit also said kindly, "We must ensure the safety of the Starry Sky Tower, by the way, there are also various invisible magic enchantments around the Starry Sky Tower, which can identify and remove magic effects from anyone, but it hasn't come in handy for many years, and when you pass by, if you feel a chill on your body, please don't panic, it's the enchantment that works." ”

"Oh? Where is that enchantment, there is no such advanced spell in our Ankarun plane. Xiluo raised his eyebrows slightly, seemed interested, and asked with interest.

"It's not far off." Captain Ethereal Spirit walked in front and said politely.

Xi Luo nodded, his right hand gently pulled the brim of the hood, the magic pattern on his face flickered slightly, and then gradually came into his eyes, with the appearance of the red-eyed man, it suddenly made his face extremely hideous, he retracted the smile at the corner of his mouth, and his expression became indifferent and calm.

Xi Luo naturally put his right hand behind his back, his wrist slightly bent, and a small dagger quietly slipped into his palm.

In the next second, Xi Luo quickly took a few steps forward, and without waiting for those ethereal spirit soldiers to react, his body instantly came behind the epic ethereal spirit captain, and the dagger in his hand stabbed at the energy core on his back like lightning!

"Whew!"

The sharp dagger glowed with a faint magical light, and a knife stabbed straight into the energy core of the ethereal spirit captain, and with the core shattering, the energy around the ethereal spirit captain quickly escaped, and before he realized what was happening, he died immediately, and the whole person dissipated with a bang.

The remaining five ethereal spirit soldiers looked at this scene in shock, and couldn't help but take a step back one after another, and then immediately reacted, raising their weapons one after another, but before they could launch an attack on Xiluo, the figures of these ethereal soldiers suddenly stiffened, and the illusory bodies dissipated at the same time!

Five mirrors, also wearing hoods and loose cloaks, stood silently where the five ethereal soldiers had been, each holding an identical dagger in their hands.

In an instant, a team of ethereal soldiers was solved, and with a flick of Xi Luo's fingertips, the six shattered energy cores quickly turned into nothingness, as if they had never existed, and the five mirror images also dissipated immediately, Xi Luo bent down and picked up the passage crystal from the ground, then stood up and tidied up his robes, still walking towards the Tower of the Starry Sky without hurry.
