Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1227: Chapter 1207: Golden Light

A red light shot up to the sky, once again drawing everyone’s attention. The night always felt so invigorating.

Tonight, there were even more people compared to the previous night, which made the three people organizing the event feel somewhat exhausted.

The crowd successfully navigated through layers of obstacles, reaching the location of the red light, only to be surprised by the empty ground before them. There were bonfires and barbecues, even unfinished water, with ripples spreading as people moved.

”It’s definitely nearby!”

”Search!”

”Let’s agree first, no internal chaos!”

”Right.”

”Let’s go!”

With the bonfire at the center, people slowly dispersed to the surroundings, each face marked with seriousness. Some Lone Walkers showed disdain when they saw the person issuing commands.

”Why should we listen to him?”

”You don’t know? Rumor has it his team is already in the selection for this Star Path. We can’t go wrong by following him.”

”Who decided that? How come I don’t know?”

”That’s what everyone says. We’re just here to try our luck anyway.”

Luo Qianqian sat in the tree, watching people leave, with a slight furrow on her brow. She looked up at Bai Jian perched on the branch above: ”Do you have any insider information? You can’t possibly not know anything, right?”

Bai Jian was stunned for a moment, then nodded: ”The Star Path competition includes a Three Little Kings rivalry because the top three in the Sect Conference are called the Three Kings Competition, hence the path is referred to as Three Little Kings, meaning the top three of Star Path. Basically, the top three of Star Path can make it to the final round.”

”The preliminaries are selection from each region, selecting ten from many. There might be some pre-selection and insider info, but generally, those with poor strength aren’t allowed to participate. Aside from the ten spots for Star Path, the top ten from the previous year and each sect has two recommendation spots, making eighty sects from four regions entering the second trial.”

”The second trial adopts an elimination process; drawing lots. Excluding last year’s Three Kings, this year’s Three Little Kings, and each region’s top seed team, seventy compete for ten spots, divided into ten groups. The top in each group enters the semi-finals, known as the finals circle.”

Bai Jian wanted to say more but then heard a signal sound, then people from the other three directions rushed over, footsteps hasty and a crowd forming.

Huangfu Yihui turned pale: ”Can’t be that coincidental, he’s over here?”

The direction Yan left wasn’t this way, and they hadn’t pursued to avoid leaks. But suddenly hearing their signal made them feel somewhat disheartened, such is fortune.

The three didn’t hesitate, quickly blended into the crowd heading that way after slight disguise.

A brilliant light pierced the sky, instantly exciting the crowd. At this moment, throughout the Star Path, it was like a wave of fervor swept over, feet hurriedly heading toward the direction of the Golden Light.

Unlike Luo Qianqian’s fake flashlight glow, this time, even Luo Qianqian could clearly feel the presence of energy.

As they got closer, they discovered that this brilliant glow was a bright Golden Light!

The frenzy hadn’t subsided yet, with people still rushing over, unprecedented excitement spreading in the Star Path.

But the frenzy hadn’t ended; the entire Star Path seemed to tremble for the Gold Light just now.

Luo Qianqian, however, stopped her steps. Even though she wasn’t very familiar with Yan, she could still judge this wasn’t Yan.

Accurately speaking, Yan wouldn’t have such a strong aura!

Seeing Luo Qianqian stop, Bai Jian and Huangfu Yihui also halted their steps, the three were pushed together by the surging crowd, gathering by the tree.

It was as though they’d entered a silent film world; all sounds vanished from Luo Qianqian’s ears at that moment. Uncontrollably, she crouched by the tree, clutching her head tightly, tears flooded down but she was inexplicably overwhelmed.

”Shiqi?” Huangfu Yihui gently patted Luo Qianqian’s shoulder, puzzled by her expression, why such pain and sadness?

Bai Jian paused for a moment and then decisively knocked Luo Qianqian out.

Looking at Huangfu Yihui, awkwardly realized they couldn’t cope with such a situation?

Golden, what it represents, no one is clearer than them.

One is the future of the Sword Sect, another is the Southern Li prince, they’ve certainly seen Golden prowess.

Even those known for attack as Gold Attributes are not eligible to possess gold but only white.

Now, it either means a momentous fortune or an imminent disaster.

Such a grand and magnificent scene rivaling the wrath of nature made their hearts race, unable to avoid yearning, but reason warned them not to go.

The gold pillar brought a very peculiar sensation, as if it triggered something within them, driving them mad.

Luo Qianqian, though unconscious, reached out her small hand toward the air, tears streaming down: ”No, don’t...”

At this moment, the gold light in the sky split and wrapped around Luo Qianqian’s body, layer upon layer, her face marked with struggle yet unable to resist.

Everything at that moment seemed to enter a state of absolute stillness: sounds, light, even thoughts, only those golden rays entwined around Luo Qianqian, like chains locking something.

”What happened?” Thoughts seemed to suddenly restore; Huangfu Yihui looked at the unchanged Luo Qianqian and paused, slightly furrowed his brow. Luo Qianqian’s sense was definitely accurate, but what exactly happened, only she herself might know.

Aside from the two and the already unconscious yet still tear-stricken Luo Qianqian, everyone else seemed oblivious, continuing to run toward the light.

Huangfu Yihui furrowed, took out an indigo handkerchief, and wiped away Luo Qianqian’s tears.

Due to anxiety and confusion, even the mission-completion flash went unnoticed.

When Yan tracked them down following traces, he saw Luo Qianqian, resembling a shattered porcelain doll, devoid of any awareness.

Immediately anxious, hurriedly pulled Luo Qianqian over to check her breath and pulse, after probing, furrowed his brow looking at the others: ”What happened?”

”No idea.” Huangfu Yihui gently shook his head, looking toward the Gold Light: ”Ever since that Gold Light appeared, she’s been like this.”

Yan glanced at the Gold Light, puzzled for a long time, also feeling the surge of desire from within his body, suddenly furrowed his brow: ”Let’s leave first!”

There’s definitely something wrong; what could fascinate everyone so?
