Watched by Immortals

The wind was strong, howling through the area and filling the air with a chilling atmosphere. It even stirred up bloody bone fragments from the ground, and Blood Water splattered onto those around them.

A chorus of screams erupted as everyone was bewildered by the sudden wind and failed to see the figure emitting a white light in mid-air.

Wang Xuan noticed that the white light emanating from the creature whose head he had severed quickly dissipated, and the entire body gradually faded away, disintegrating in the cold wind.

Dead!

Did he kill an immortal?

Of course, he himself did not believe that this was one of the Transcendent Immortals. It was not like he had never met one before. Even when the arrogant Female Sword Immortal held back, they still managed to kill Old Chen. They felt like vomiting at the sight of a sword. Only people like that could be considered immortals when they were alive.

Furthermore, even when the white tiger transformed into a kitten, it still carried Old Chen away; the power of a creature at the Feather Transformation level is unfathomable.

No one knew that Wang Xuan had killed a mysterious creature with a single sword strike, but everyone felt their scalp tingle and a strange wind rose. They were all covered in blood, except for the old Daoist priest and the old monk.

To avoid suspicion, Wang Xuan took advantage of the chaos to smear some blood on himself, just to avoid unnecessary trouble.

He was quite unsettled. This short sword was indeed extraordinary. Just as Old Chen had said, it could save his life in the event of some mysterious incidents.

The strong winds stopped, and the scene became quiet. Strange things like this had happened before, and there were even more terrifying ones, but today, the bloodstains made those who witnessed it feel a bit uneasy.

People can only marvel at how terrifying the Moon Crater is. Yet, every year and every month, people still go to explore it, defying all superstition.

The old Daoist priest was still wielding his sword, and the old monk was still wildly smashing things with his Dharma-Subduing Pestle; both of them only felt a slight sensation.

"What bad luck! I was just watching the show, and I got sprayed with blood." Qin Cheng complained. Not only was he covered in blood, but a piece of bone also fell off his collar with a thud.

His face turned green, and he darted six meters away with a whoosh. He gagged, having never experienced anything like it before. The bright red and white stuff made him dizzy.

Just then, the four people still lying on the ground silently and straightened up, completely defying the laws of physics.

One of them walked straight into the depths of the base, taking very large strides, far exceeding those of ordinary people. In one leap, he actually traversed ten meters.

Wang Xuan's pupils contracted; this level of strength was formidable!

However, when the man took his second step, he suddenly exploded in mid-air with a "poof," and bright red blood splattered everywhere.

Qin Cheng, who was gagging, looked up in astonishment and touched his face, only to find that his hands were stained red and a piece of torn flesh was stuck to his fingers.

And a bloody severed hand lay at his feet.

Qin Cheng leaped back two meters, finally unable to bear it any longer. He shook his hands violently, trying to get rid of the sticky fleshy skin. His scalp felt like it was about to explode. He shouted, "Old Wang's gone! I'm never watching this again! This is scarier than watching a horror movie alone in the middle of the night!"

Wang Xuan didn't move. He was truly shocked. Why did that person disintegrate? He could see clearly that it was caused by the simultaneous glow of the White Horse Temple and the Daoist Ancestral Court, which imprisoned that person. Inside his body, a blurry figure struggled violently before exploding.

In this light, it was indeed useful to move the ancestral Daoist Ancestral Court and the first ancient Buddhist temple to this location at the same time!

I wonder who suggested doing this more than a hundred years ago. Was it due to feudal superstition, or was it a scheme orchestrated by a mastermind? To suppress the moon.

"They ran away! Why did they rush towards the Moon Crater?" someone asked, puzzled. Of the three survivors, two of them broke through the protective layer and ran wildly into the crater area.

The two men weren't even wearing spacesuits, but they were incredibly agile, leaping nearly ten meters each time before disappearing directly into the dark Moon Crater.

"These two guys are amazing!"

"What's all the fuss about? They've obviously been caught! It's daytime now, and the surface of the moon without any protective layer is over 100 degrees Celsius. They're probably cooked by now!"

Only one young man remained at the scene, the sole survivor. His face was flushed, his body trembling, and he stumbled a few steps before struggling to speak, "There was celestial light in the Moon Crater, a group of immortals..."

Everyone ran away, afraid he would explode, but when they heard him speak like that, they quickly moved closer, worried they wouldn't hear what he said next.

"Please don't let it explode!" Qin Cheng shouted, he was genuinely terrified of being blown up.

"So... I'm already dead." The young man said this, and then suddenly disintegrated. This time, everyone was hit and splattered with blood.

Many people angrily turned around to look at Qin Cheng, feeling that if it weren't for his reckless reminder, the young man might not have realized he was dying and wouldn't have exploded so quickly.

Wang Xuan's mental state fluctuated, and white mist expanded in front of his forehead. He stared at the ground, having just seen something flash by and disappear underground.

He waited for a long time but the thing didn't come out, and there were no other unusual phenomena at the scene.

With so many people dying in quick succession, it was definitely a major event. The area was quickly sealed off, and ordinary people were unaware of the horror and bloodshed that had taken place there.

Wang Xuan and Qin Cheng made their statements in this area and then left quickly, both of them wanting to wash up as soon as possible, as it was too disgusting.

Wang Xuan voluntarily smeared the blood on his body. Qin Cheng, on the other hand, almost rubbed the skin off his face and hands after returning to his residence.

When Qin Cheng went out for dinner that evening, he saw Wang Xuan studying the menu and staring at the bright red sashimi. He gagged and grabbed a fruit platter before running off.

At night, Wang Xuan's room was pitch black, and he fell into a deep sleep.

He was awakened shortly afterward; his senses were too acute, and he had already sensed something was wrong in the room. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw a disheveled creature with crimson blood at the corner of its mouth and scarlet eyes!

It was the dead of night, a time when people should be in the deepest sleep. But as soon as he woke up, he saw this thing in the dark, which startled even the daring Wang Xuan.

Clearly, this creature had just approached the bedside and, seeing that he had opened his eyes and woken up, pounced on him without hesitation.

Despite Wang Xuan's quick reaction, he still felt a sharp pain in his scalp, as if something was trying to burrow into it. He was shocked; was this a demon that had entered the mortal world? Trying to enter his flesh and blood, and burrowing in from the top of his head.

Boom!

He activated the physical techniques from the five pages of Golden Book. In an instant, his internal organs resonated, a faint lightning flashed from his chest, and his secret power surged throughout his body.

Especially from his scalp, a real thunderous sound erupted, followed by a muffled boom, and then he heard a scream.

The disheveled creature, its scarlet eyes filled with fear yet also a hint of madness, retreated before lunging forward again.

Boom!

Wang Xuan slapped forward, sending a faint white light and a thunderous sound through the air, knocking the creature back. Black smoke billowed from its chest as it screamed and turned to leave.

Wang Xuan leaped up and quickly grabbed the short sword next to his clothes. In an instant, he chased after it and thrust the sword out. The creature let out a shrill howl, its body fading into a large part, and it burrowed into the ground.

As a result, Wang Xuan's feet glowed, thunder roared, and white light covered the ground. The creature howled miserably again and instantly passed through the wall.

Wang Xuan realized that he could see the scenery outside the wall. He then realized that it was a manifestation of the spiritual realm, which was why he could always see this thing. He guessed that ordinary people could not see it.

He chased it into the courtyard and threw his short sword. The creature howled, its body dissipating, leaving only a wisp of smoke-like mist. Then, a distant bell tolled, and the nearby Thousand-Year Ancient Taoist Temple, glowed, dispersing the last wisp of smoke, leaving nothing behind.

Although it was night according to the clock, once I stepped out of the room, it was as bright as day outside—this was one of the frustrating and repulsive aspects of the moon.

"It's not like the ghosts in the legends. It's not afraid of sunlight. What exactly is this thing? Why did those people say there was a group of immortals in the Moon Crater when they died? According to them, I've already killed two immortals." Wang Xuan muttered to himself. The ones he had just killed were the ones who had escaped during the day.

Disturbing someone's slumber is the most hateful thing. He really wanted to rush into the Moon Crater and kill that nest of immortals. They actually tried to kill him. This grudge was remembered by the Ancestor Wang.

However, after thinking about it for a while, he really didn't dare to enter the Moon Crater easily. If that place were simple, there would be no need to invite the ancestral temples of Buddhist and Taoist families to suppress it together.

"I've been targeted by 'immortals,' two of them are coming for me, why?"

Ancestor Wang was very carefree. He took the short sword back, lay down on the bed, and quickly fell asleep again.

"Old Wang, something's happened!" The next morning, Qin Cheng came to find Wang Xuan and told him that there were young people from a financial tycoon in yesterday's expedition team.

"What's so surprising about that? People from wealthy families who dare to venture into dangerous places can still die." Wang Xuan didn't take it seriously.

"It's the Qin Family. They're very famous in New Star, one of the super-rich conglomerates. Their descendant is lost in the Moon Crater. That's not the point. The key is that they've issued a bounty. Whoever can bring out Qin Yunfeng's body will be rewarded handsomely," Qin Cheng informed him.

"Your family?" Wang Xuan asked with a smile.

"It has absolutely nothing to do with me!" Qin Cheng sighed. They shared the same surname, Qin, but their fates were worlds apart, like the difference between Qin Xianglian and Qin Shi Huang.

The two young men who caught the virus yesterday and ran back to the Moon Crater were Qin Yunfeng. Without a doubt, he must have been cooked through in that high temperature.

"What others need to struggle for their whole lives is easily obtained by him. He probably lost his purpose in life, so he sought out all kinds of extreme thrills, teamed up for adventures, and ended up getting himself into trouble," Qin Cheng said.

He was deeply moved, noting that some people's Qidian is an unattainable, illusory endpoint, a gap that is simply too vast.

This incident has caused quite a stir. In recent years, although the power of conglomerates has been growing, they have all kept a low profile and stayed behind the scenes.

Qin Yunfeng is the first wealthy heir in recent years to be so reckless as to throw away his own life.

"Do you want to go watch it?" Wang Xuan asked him.

"Go, let's see who dares to enter the Moon Crater." Qin Cheng couldn't resist joining in the fun.

There were quite a few people at the protective layer, whispering and discussing how the latest type of robot they had deployed not long ago had completely lost contact after entering the Moon Crater.

"It still doesn't work. Those robots are antimagnetic, antipulse, and anti-energy interference, which have reached their limits. They are the latest models, but they still can't withstand the mysterious erosion inside the Moon Crater."

"Old Ling is here!" Qin Cheng whispered, the words coming out naturally to him.

Wang Xuan turned around and, sure enough, saw Ling Qiming approaching. Accompanied by several people, he stood near the protective layer, observing the Moon Crater.

He was somewhat surprised and asked, "Why did Old Ling come here?"

Qin Cheng said, "I heard that the Ling Family and the Qin Family have a close cooperation and a very good relationship. I guess someone in the Qin Family knows that he is on vacation on the moon and asked him to come and keep an eye on things."

Wang Xuan nodded and said, "Now I'm a little curious, how will the Qin Family reward us so handsomely?"

Qin Cheng, having already inquired, said, "It's very attractive. The Qin Family has prepared many items; you can choose any two. Golden Mushroom and Earth Marrow are considered rare treasures. There's also an ancient manual for cultivating the spirit, a notebook left by Olesha, the Number One Person in the New Arts Domain, and a sword manual unearthed from the Old Earth Shu Mountain. Although no one has been able to master the ancient sword manual, it's said to be related to flying sword techniques. Anyway, they're all good things. If you don't want these, you can exchange them directly for New Star Coin."

"It's somewhat attractive, but Wang Zhenxian is too expensive; they can't persuade me!" Wang Xuan had barely finished speaking when he sensed something was wrong. Several Dao Body silently floated up from the Moon Crater, serene and holy, radiating brilliant light, and they were fixing their gaze on him!
