My Vast Heaven Sect Shall Endure Forever!
In the village shrouded in black mist, countless figures converged from all directions.
Seeing these figures appear, Chu Xinghe gasped...
Seventh Rank... the lowest is Seventh Rank... there are even a few Eighth Rank mixed in...
Upon seeing this scene, Chu Xinghe's first reaction was that he was definitely doomed today.
Chu Xinghe realized something was wrong, because when he looked at his junior brothers and sisters behind him, they all looked confused, as if they couldn't see the people gathering around them at all.
Upon seeing this, Chu Xinghe's first reaction was, "Have I fallen under an illusion?"
No way... I Evil Repeller above my head, what kind of illusion could possibly trap me?
Chu Xinghe quickly realized that he wasn't under an illusion, but rather that only he could see it.
Apart from himself, his fellow disciples couldn't see the guy he had just riddled with thorns, nor the figures of the people surrounding him.
What the hell is this place? Who the hell are these people?
"He can see me... He really can see me... Look... He can even see you all..." The guy who was initially riddled with holes by Chu Xinghe was now jumping around among the newcomers, looking as excited as if he had won the lottery.
Everyone who heard his words met Chu Xinghe's gaze, and their faces all showed excitement.
Yes... Chu Xinghe was certain that what appeared on their faces was excitement! And that kind of uncontrollable excitement.
Meanwhile, Chu Xinghe's fellow disciples were completely dumbfounded. "Senior Brother Xinghe, what are you looking at... There's nothing around us..." But even though they couldn't see anything, why was there a voice shouting that he could see them?
The scene was so eerie that it sent chills down Chu Xinghe's Chu Xinghe, but he didn't dare to move an inch. This group of guys were definitely strong enough to wipe him out in no time.
And they seem to be unkillable monsters? What's going on with this village?
Just as Chu Xinghe was pondering how to deal with the situation, a huge cloud of black mist suddenly appeared in front of him. As the mist dissipated, an old man holding a full moon scepter slowly walked out.
The moment the old man appeared, Chu Xinghe gasped.
Martial Emperor! This old man is a Martial Emperor, and not just any ordinary Martial Emperor. Chu Xinghe felt that even the Grand Elder was inferior to him in terms of aura. What the hell kind of place is this? I want to go home...
The old man stepped out of the black mist and met Chu Xinghe's gaze. For a moment, excitement appeared in his eyes as well.
"The Dark Moon Clan has finally waited for this moment!"
The old man raised his full-moon scepter, and all the black mist in the entire village began to converge on it, eventually entering the scepter.
As the black mist dissipated, the old man waved his arm, and then all the Dark Moon Clan appeared with flowing light, and they all dispelled their invisibility.
In an instant, everyone saw the people surrounding them.
But these people claiming to be from the Dark Moon Clan ignored everyone else and swarmed around Chu Xinghe. At that moment, Chu Xinghe had only one thought, "Am I some kind of panda? Why are you all looking at me like this?"
The old man pushed through the crowd and walked step by step to Chu Xinghe. His eyes... made it seem like Chu Xinghe was much rarer than a giant panda.
"How exactly did you see us?" the old man asked slowly, but the excitement in his voice was undeniable.
Chu Xinghe didn't even know how to answer that question... How could I possibly see it? I clearly saw it with my own eyes...
Can I still see you with my toes?
However, this problem is clearly not that simple, because no one except myself could see them just now, which means that I must have something different about me... Could it be... because of White Rainbow?
"Who exactly are you people?" Chu Xinghe was completely baffled by this group of people...
Um... I didn't enter the ruins to be a tourist, I came in to hide from the treasure... If I can't hide, can I just go and steal the treasure?
I was wrong... I'll never take any shortcuts again. Are these shortcuts always this ridiculous?
Last time was alright; I only got some spiritual liquid. But this time, what are these things that popped up? Are they ancient Human Race?
Will they hold some kind of ceremony and then roast me?
However, Chu Xinghe's worries quickly dissipated, because from the old man, Chu Xinghe finally learned what was going on.
The old man was named An Zhi, Great Sage of the Dark Moon Clan, and everyone around him was also from the Dark Moon Clan.
The City of Dark Moon was built by the Dark Moon Clan. During the War of All Races, the Dark Moon Clan was defeated and fled in all directions, but was eventually captured by the enemy.
An Zhi thought the Dark Moon Clan might be wiped out, but he never expected that the enemy was far more vicious than they had imagined.
Instead of killing the Dark Moon Clan, they placed an immortal curse upon the Dark Moon Clan all, then sealed Dark Moon Clan forever within these ruins, ensuring Dark Moon Clan would never leave this village.
An Zhi didn't know how many years he had been imprisoned. He only knew that in those almost desperate years, the Dark Moon Clan had always lived here, where even death was a luxury.
Chu Xinghe broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this...
Holy crap... is it really that vicious?
Many people yearn for immortality, but if I told you you could live forever, then sealed you inside a concrete pillar and thrown into the sea, where you'd be trapped forever, would anyone want that kind of immortality?
Anyway, Chu Xinghe felt that this kind of immortality was even more unbearable than death, the key point being that he couldn't die.
Over the endless years, the Dark Moon Clan gradually degenerated into walking corpses, and even turned into monsters that killed each other. Even though they could not kill anyone, they still frantically slaughtered each other, becoming monsters one by one.
The Great Sage knew that the Dark Moon Clan had been completely destroyed, but he was unwilling to accept it. So he finally decided to use his own cultivation and that of all the Dark Moon Clan members as a price to perform a final divination for the Dark Moon Clan's destiny. It was this divination that awakened the Dark Moon Clan from their madness, which is why they have survived until today.
The result of this divination, which consumed Supreme spiritual power, is that in the Future, someone who can see them will lead the Dark Moon Clan out of this land of despair.
When the divination result appeared, even though they had lost their Supreme cultivation, all the Dark Moon Dark Moon Clan still knelt down to thank the gods for giving them a final chance to live.
No one knows how many years have passed since then, but the Dark Moon Clan has always waited, even in endless despair. It is this glimmer of hope in the midst of endless despair that has kept the Dark Moon Clan maintaining their last shred of sanity, because they believe in the divination of the Great Sage, and believe that someone will surely appear in this world who can see them and lead them away.
Over the years, this ruin has been opened countless times, and the Dark Moon Shuttle has changed hands countless times. However, each owner only saw Dark Moon City and had no idea that the Dark Moon Clan was trapped in the deepest part of Dark Moon City.
Even if someone had discovered this place, he ultimately died by the sword of the Dark Moon Clan, because he couldn't even see Dark Moon Clan existence...
Hope after hope, dashed time and time again... The Dark Moon Clan has no idea how many years they have lived through, nor how many times they have faced despair.
But today... what they've been waiting for has arrived!
They've finally found someone who can see them! They've finally found the one whose hope was divined using the Supreme fortune and power of the Dark Moon Clan.
"Great Sage An Zhi Anzhi of the Dark Moon Clan, please, Holy One, do not abandon the Dark Moon Clan and lead my Dark Moon Clan to a new life..." The Great Sage raised his scepter with both hands and knelt directly in front of Chu Xinghe.
Not only the Great Sage, but all the Dark Moon Clan members knelt down in unison.
Chu Xinghe looked completely bewildered... He understood the story the Great Sage had told him... but the problem was, he had absolutely no idea what they were talking about. Reincarnate you? He didn't even know how to get out of there himself.
Quickly help the Great Sage up from the ground, and let the other junior brothers and sisters help up all the members of the Dark Moon Clan. Chu Xinghe looked completely bewildered at this moment.
First of all... what era was the War of All Races in?
There are absolutely no records of it on the Blazing Sun Continent... The City of Dark Moon is mentioned in some ancient legends, but the Dark Moon Clan is not mentioned at all.
So how long exactly was the Dark Moon Clan sealed away? Was it longer than ancient times?
But none of that matters. The crucial point is, I came here to hide from treasure... What have I done?
Everyone else enters the ruins and frantically hunts for treasure, they're all bloodthirsty for the loot, while all I want to do is hide far away, I can't even just lie down, right?
I managed to escape City of Dark Moon, but what the hell does it mean that the Dark Moon Clan showed up?
Look at this Great Sage before us, isn't he far more ruthless than the City of Dark Moon?
What did that Great Sage just say? That the Dark Moon Clan sacrificed their Supreme cultivation to divine the Future?
But you Great Sage, listen to what you're saying! Are you even speaking human language?
After your Dark Moon Clan sacrificed your Supreme cultivation, you're still only at the Peak Martial Emperor? The worst among the others are at least Seventh Rank?
So what was your cultivation level at your peak?
In your era, Martial Emperors were all little klutz, and Martial Gods were as common as dogs, right?
And that's not all; the most crucial thing is that these guys are practically Undying Body! Do you know what that means?
This is even more outrageous than immortality... So theoretically speaking, if these bastards were to get out, wouldn't they practically take off on the spot?
You're playing these games with me, promising me Undying Body and the ultimate invincibility as long as I live?
Although the Dark Moon Clan is small, numbering only around seventy or eighty, given their immortality, even if their talent is as bad as a pig's, they would be invincible given enough time.
Are you guys trying to exploit a bug here?
People come to ruins looking for treasure, so why did I dig up such a huge pile of old treasures out of nowhere?
To be honest, Chu Xinghe was reluctant to accept the Great Sage's request. He even wanted to persuade the Great Sage, "You've been here for so many years, you've gotten used to it. You might not adapt well to leaving. So why don't you all stay?"
Chu Xinghe could only think this in his heart. If he were to say it out loud, the Dark Moon Clan would probably kill him on the spot.
"May Heaven bless Vast Heaven!" Someone shouted, and soon the junior brothers and sisters around them were all chanting it.
These little guys aren't stupid. Dark Moon City and all those treasures are nothing compared to the Dark Moon Clan in front of them.
If the Dark Moon Clan can really be taken out, don't underestimate them now just because their cultivation isn't great. Wait three to five thousand years and see... won't they all be Grand Elders among Grand Elders of the Vast Heaven Sect Sky Sect?
Other sects might be incredibly powerful with one or two patriarchs presiding over them, but our Vast Heaven Sect has seventy or eighty immortal patriarchs at the drop of a hat. Who can possibly shake the Vast Heaven Sect in the slightest?
Senior Brother Xinghe is truly a master strategist! What's so special about City of Dark Moon? What's that anyway?
The Dark Moon Clan is the greatest treasure of this ruin!
Heaven bless Vast Heaven! With Senior Brother Xinghe's intervention this time, our Vast Heaven Sect will surely be immortal!
