Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 740: Chapter 589: Star Knight

Black Snow Country, north-northeast direction, in the Black Wilderness Mountain.

A group of more than ten people wearing purple robes stood under the night sky, the cold moonlight making their pale skin appear even more ghostly.

These people didn’t have a trace of breath or fluctuation, not even the sound of breathing was audible, they were obviously well-trained.

Even the most perceptive scouts, if not carefully observing, wouldn’t notice that there were people here.

At this moment, Shadow Crows silently flew from all directions, landing on a green-haired youth and turning into shadowy elements that fused into his body like smoke.

The green-haired youth closed his eyes slightly, then whispered:

“Total number: 128”

“Shining Star Level: 32”

“Snow Eagle Position: 8 people”

“Sky Patrol Department Special Envoy: 6 people”

“No one around, no aid in sight, it would take at least two hours from the B-47 camp even if a Radiant Moon Level came personally.”

The green-haired youth quickly relayed the information he had gathered to everyone.

Amidst the crowd, two people in the center looked almost identical.

Except for one having silver hair and the other blue hair, there was not much difference, they were obviously a pair of twins.

However, the silver-haired youth had a stern expression, while the blue-haired youth appeared more gentle, both having a delicate hexagram mark on their cuffs.

At this moment, the silver-haired youth took out a pocket watch, looked at the time, then put on his hood.

“Move out.”

With an order, without the need for a response, everyone behind him immediately followed, turning into black shadows and shooting forward towards the Black Wilderness Mountain…

Black Wild Mountain Camp, at a certain spot on the temporary city wall, a youth in Sky Patrol Department attire was on night watch.

This youth, tall with a square face and a pair of dark red pupils, was a classmate from Su Yuan Demon Capital Academy—Xiang Dingqian!

At this moment, Xiang Dingqian was sitting on the city wall, gazing at the bright moon in the distance, seemingly deep in thought.

Just then, Tian Bulue walked over from behind and sat down beside him.

“What are you thinking about? Missing home?”

Tian Bulue asked casually when he saw Xiang Dingqian staring into the distance.

Nowadays, Tian Bulue had long been a First Level Special Envoy, capable of independently handling essential tasks.

Xiang Dingqian came back to his senses and greeted: “Uncle Tian, you are here?”

Tian Bulue said, “You have just joined the Sky Patrol Department for a few months, and you have already come to such a distant place. It’s normal to miss home.”

Xiang Dingqian shook his head and smiled: “Uncle Tian, you are joking. I was thinking about cultivation.”

Tian Bulue responded: “Your cultivation has been very fast. You have already been promoted to Second Level Special Envoy among the many rookies.”

Speaking of this, Xiang Dingqian thought of something, looked up again at the distant, untouchable bright moon, and sighed slightly.

Noticing this, Tian Bulue patted his shoulder: “It is good to have goals and motivation in cultivation. It is not about chasing slowly or not catching up, but fear of stagnation.

In our Sky Patrol Department, elites are gathered, and there are countless geniuses. Look at my age, I am considered one of the older ones among many special envoys.

But I did not lose heart and continued to cultivate diligently, making slow yet steady progress, which finally led to me becoming a First Level Special Envoy.”

After listening to Tian Bulue, Xiang Dingqian thought for a while and shook off some of his confusion.

“Thank you for your guidance, Uncle Tian.” Xiang Dingqian cupped his hands.

Tian Bulue smiled and said: “Don’t be so polite. Talented young individuals like you, with noble family backgrounds, usually have some arrogance.”

Xiang Dingqian smiled and shook his head. There were countless geniuses ahead of him, and he had no reason to be arrogant.

Retrieving his thoughts, Xiang Dingqian glanced ahead and casually said: “Tonight seems particularly quiet and cooler.”

“Indeed it’s quiet… Huh?”

Tian Bulue’s eyes suddenly tightened. He immediately pricked up his ears to listen.

In the pitch-black mountains, there was not even an insect’s chirp. Even the occasional howling mountain wind seemed to have stopped.

Xiang Dingqian noticed Tian Bulue’s expression and became alert: “Uncle Tian, what’s wrong?”

“It seems something is wrong…” Tian Bulue frowned, staring intently into the dark outside the camp, “I will go and check. You inspect the camp parameters for any abnormalities. If you don’t hear from me in five minutes, raise the alarm!”

Xiang Dingqian looked into the dark night: “How about I go with you, so we can watch out for each other if something really happens.”

“The camp’s safety is more important. Don’t worry. I can protect myself!”

After saying that, Tian Bulue leaped and flew into the distance.

Seeing this, Xiang Dingqian also flew towards the camp’s interior…

Tian Bulue flew over a thousand meters and suddenly noticed a mist-like shadow element permeating the front area.

Looking to both sides, more accurately, the entire camp was surrounded by this shadow element forming a black fog!

These shadow elements seemed to absorb his fluctuations, coupled with the cover of night, making their presence unnoticed by anyone.

Furthermore, within the black fog ahead, several corpses lay in disarray. They were the night patrol squad sent by Black Snow Country just ten minutes before!

Tian Bulue’s expression changed. Just as he was about to speak, a pitch-black shadow blade shot from the black fog, slicing across his neck in an instant!

“Ugh?!”

Tian Bulue’s eyes widened in shock as he clutched his throat. After a glance at the front, he collapsed face-first to the ground.
