An Old Friend from Antiquity Arrives
Wang Xuan arrived, but he didn't actually get close to the Blood Moon. He used the God Slaying Banner to resist the green light of the Heavenly Vine Ladder and stabilized the void.
"Without celestial medicine, without Supreme Scriptures, without Peerless Exotic Treasure, you might as well chop yourself up and throw yourself down." His provocation was simple and crude.
At this point, who cares about delicate techniques anymore? Fang Yuzhu, and the two powerful figures are ready to charge into the crimson blood ring at any moment!
He is still lacking compared to the top-tier ones and has a long way to go, but he believes that if the two of them work together, they can still be as powerful as the other two strong individuals combined.
One should be confident in life and not belittle oneself; at least that's what he thinks now.
In the distance, Zhang Daoling and Mingxue arrived. The two looked surprised when they saw the Peng egg that Wang Xuan was holding. It really was something good, a rare delicacy!
"We're late. A pure-blooded roc egg! They're willing to throw this away. It's been years since I've tasted that kind of flavor. Looks like the landlord still has some surplus grain. We'll have to seize this land soon!"
The two were determined to storm into the Moon Ring and plunder this problematic place. In this day and age, even peerless immortals have a very difficult time living in the mortal world.
Even the young members of the Weasel Clan are working hard. As the leaders, they have no reason to slack off. If they see people they don't get along with or super powers, they would be doing themselves a disservice if they didn't take action.
Wang Xuan refused to go to the moon no matter what, and stood outside challenging it. He was very close to the red sphere that looked like a giant eyeball, and kept swaying and provoking it.
"Come on, Tian Yuan Wang Xuan is here! The battle against the fishermen begins! Come on, if you're so capable, come find me; if you're not capable, can you catch me?"
He was fearless and would occasionally use the God Slaying Banner to poke at the crimson halo around the edge of the Blood Moon, which was quite audacious.
Since flying here, he can naturally be certain that this is not the real moon; the real moon has been obscured by the blood moon and its Super Material.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the blood-red full moon erupted, the tide surged, and a large area of red lunar halo expanded, engulfing Wang Xuan like red waves and fog.
The blood moon devoured him, its fine blood-red veins intertwining and blooming with crimson light, pulling him in with its power. Even the God Slaying Banner couldn't stop it.
After all, this involves the high-end power of the Lost Lands, and even if there are problems now, it is not something that Wang Xuan can defend against at close range at this stage.
If he were just on the surface, not near here, it wouldn't be a problem. But right now he's poking the crimson moon with a flagpole.
The Heavenly Vine Ladder with its emerald green leaves was retracted. With no matter remaining in the outside world, the scene became somewhat blurry, and the eerie moon ring was about to disappear.
Finally, Wang Xuan entered completely. It was his first time stepping into such a place. He wondered if the creature that had fished him out last time was here.
The moon wasn't very big, but it radiated a pale red glow, shrouded in wisps of crimson mist, giving it a hazy, dreamlike quality.
There was a man dressed in a straw raincoat and wearing a bamboo hat, standing there motionless with his back to him, holding a fishing rod, silent.
"Xu..." Wang Xuan almost cried out. Looking at his raincoat, it was somewhat similar to Xu Fu's attire, but it was clearly not him; the temperament did not match.
"Who are you, and why are you trying to hook me?" Wang Xuan asked, frowning. "Was it you last time?"
"I'm doing this for someone, and this is our first meeting," the man said without turning around. Judging from his voice, he was a middle-aged man.
Moreover, he exuded a powerful aura that was outrageously strong, making Wang Xuan wonder if he was also a Peerless Grade expert.
When facing this person, Wang Xuan felt no less pressure than when facing Zheng Yuantian's undamaged avatar. This person was surrounded by a faint white light, and even his raincoat had turned silvery-white.
"It wasn't you last time, that's right, it was a creature from the Oath Moon, on the real moon. But this Blood Moon is just a radiating area of ethereal energy, a lunar ring belonging to the spiritual realm. Are you acting under orders? What exactly was that monster last time, and what is your background? Do you know Xu Fu?"
Wang Xuan asked many questions, just like that, directly, without any fear of him.
The man in the raincoat, shrouded in silver light, turned around. His hat was pulled low, obscuring his face. He spoke calmly and indifferently, "You ask so many questions!"
He stared at Wang Xuan, the young man who was specifically chosen to be taken away. He really disliked him; he lacked awareness and, as a prisoner, showed no respect whatsoever.
"According to the rumors, your cultivation has indeed increased rapidly, and you have quite a few problems. No wonder you were chosen," he said again.
Although Wang Xuan was displeased, he didn't want to immediately turn hostile and still wanted to get information out of him, so he said, "You were chosen, so you used me to lure me in? How outrageous and ridiculous! Can't you just invite me? Who exactly is he?"
Outside, Zhang Daoling looked surprised and said, "He seems to know about recent events and is colluding with people in the inner circle? Otherwise, why would he come to find Wang Xuan at such a coincidence?"
"I feel... he's somewhat familiar!" The Nether Blood Sect Ancestor said solemnly, pondering as he compared him to someone in his memory, but it seemed hard to believe.
"Who is it? I don't think they look familiar." Zhang Daoling asked. The two of them were already close to the Blood Moon, hiding outside, ready to force their way in at any time.
The Nether Blood Sect Ancestor remained calm and composed, saying, "Back then, you weren't even born yet."
"Me!" Zhang Daoling turned around, really wanting to give him a hard blow. He had finally been outmaneuvered by this old devil, but this tone was too unpleasant to hear.
"What we adults have experienced is a long time ago," Mingxue murmured, then added, "If it's that person, then it's rather terrifying."
Old Zhang couldn't stand him. This was an unnecessary demotion, a reduction in his seniority. He didn't say anything, just glared at him sideways, to see if he could hold back.
"This could be an ancient person, an unparalleled powerhouse!" the Nether Blood Sect Ancestor murmured, but he wasn't sure and continued to stare at him.
Old Zhang was moved and became serious for the first time. It turned out to be the strongest being in ancient mythology?
He knew that the last glory of the ancient times was ended by Fang Yuzhu herself. Not to mention that in the earlier years, in the final battle, she single-handedly killed two ancient demon emperors and two ancient human cultivators, burying that era and thus beginning the subsequent myth.
Is there an ancient giant here? Even Zhang Daoling was curious about his background.
"You talk too much, you're annoying, you won't live long. If someone is trying to hook you, it's because they value you, and you should be proud of it," the man covered in silver light said.
Seeing that he wouldn't elaborate on who it was, Wang Xuan decided against a friendly exchange and said, "I don't know if that creature is human or ghost. But what is he anyway? What right does he have to fish me with a hook? Does he really think I'm some little wild fish that he can just throw into his favorite tank and keep? I'll chop him up sooner or later!"
"What's wrong with fishing for a small wild fish? We can catch Peng and Long fish all the time, and we're all tired of it." The middle-aged man covered in silver light said, glancing at the Peng egg in Wang Xuan's hand.
Wang Xuan's expression turned cold. It seemed that the power of the Lost Land was far beyond imagination, too terrifying. Even pure-blooded dragons and roc could be regarded as prey.
He said coldly, "What my future holds is none of your business. On the contrary, I think your lives are hanging by a thread. You have no future at all!"
"Although you are truly remarkable and have grown rapidly, in this era, even those who perish are vying for survival, let alone you? You are destined to die young!"
The man in the straw raincoat walked forward, slowly raised his hand, and reached out to grab Wang Xuan, preparing to take the prisoner and leave. He had lost his patience.
The moment he raised his hand, a white light shot out, like a crescent moon slash, seemingly cutting through the space radiated by the blood moon. The void twisted, blurred, and was extremely terrifying.
With a mere wave of his hand, this person was about to bind Wang Xuan with distorted space, putting him in void shackles.
Wang Xuan had a big head; he was indeed an extremely powerful expert.
Of course, due to the limitations imposed by the collapse of the supernatural in the Real World, this person is unable to reproduce the unparalleled divine power that should have been present.
Wang Xuan unfurled the great flag in his hand, and with a boom, in this area with high energy intensity, the God Slaying Banner was extremely powerful, blasting out a vast expanse of golden light, crashing forward like a huge wave.
Another person made a move, and a blood-red wave surged up as the Nether Blood Sect Ancestor appeared and attacked, blocking the white light that flew from the man in the straw raincoat's hand with one hand.
"Bai Ye Demon Emperor, it really is you!" The Nether Blood Sect Ancestor was shocked and took a few steps back.
"I wondered who was spying outside. It's you, little guy, Mingxue." The man known as the Bai Ye Demon Emperor spoke calmly.
Old Zhang had initially strolled in, his demeanor calm and composed, exuding the air of a peerless patriarch. However, upon hearing this person's address to Mingxue, his composed expression faltered. If Mingxue was considered a young fellow, then his own "rising star" status would have to be lowered further.
Sure enough, after glancing at Zhang Daoling, the Bai Ye Demon Emperor said, "Who is this young upstart? He's quite powerful, a top-tier expert among peerless masters."
Zhang Daoling thought to himself, "As expected, I've been demoted. How many years has it been since I heard such a title?" He was displeased and said, "Don't act like you're some old-timer. I've killed many veteran peerless experts before!"
The man under the straw raincoat removed his bamboo hat, revealing his true face: a handsome middle-aged man with a full head of silver hair and exceptionally sharp, spirited eyes.
However, it is clear that he is not his true form, but only a part of his primordial spirit light. In the past, he was famous and was one of the ancient demon emperors. His true form was a huge Silver Wolf that could devour the sky and the earth and had few rivals. He once ruled a part of the immortal realm behind the Great Curtain for a long time!
"Little Blood Demon, are you going to block my way?" the Bai Ye Demon Emperor asked.
The Nether Blood Sect Ancestor sighed, "It seems that although Senior Demon Emperor still has contact with the behind the Great Curtain, his information is not very reliable. Perhaps someone is harboring malicious intentions, sending you outdated information, and wants to kill you."
"What do you mean?" Bai Ye asked.
"Boom!"
The blood moon nearly exploded, and this strange, radiated land crumbled on a large scale.
Fang Yuzhu, dressed in a white shirt and trousers, with a slender figure, entered the Blood Moon. She was always gentle, beautiful, and approachable, but now, she revealed an extremely cold killing intent.
"Fang Yuzhu?!" The Bai Ye Demon Emperor took two steps back, but quickly regained his balance. A terrifying beam of light shot from his silver-white pupils, filled with hatred and resentment, and his full head of silver hair fluttered wildly!
For him, the girl from back then, that young newcomer, was nothing short of a nightmare. In his memory, the armored woman was all-powerful, single-handedly slaying four of their peerless experts, and now he had encountered her again in this predicament.
"Back then, I killed four of you in succession, but only your body disappeared. Did you really survive and get taken away by the people of the dead? Did they also want to die, to be buried with you!"
Fang Yuzhu said in a cold voice. She was usually dignified and elegant, and had never spoken so harshly before, but now she was full of murderous intent.
Wang Xuan was also shocked. One of the parties involved in the great war that ended the ancient myths was still alive. An ancient demon emperor had reappeared here?!
Fang Yuzhu was clad in full armor, which clanged and gleamed. She pointed a finger forward, blurring the void, and with the Bai Ye as a guide, the old scene reappeared.
The scene of the final battle at the end of ancient times seemed to reappear: the earth was shattered and devastated, and a huge Silver Wolf was nailed to the ground by four pillars.
Upon closer inspection, the four pillars were actually formed from the broken jade hairpin, as tall as mountains, piercing its head and primordial spirit, crushing its heart, and penetrating the Silver Wolf, leaving it lying dead on the ground.
Beside it was a colossal Golden Divine Ape, another demon emperor, with only half a head remaining, its golden light dimmed, its mountain-sized body lifeless.
Wang Xuan was shocked. Even across time and space, he could feel the overwhelming aura of the two great demon emperors who had died back then.
"Trying to trace my past?!" The Bai Ye Demon Emperor roared, and he made his move to stop Fang Yuzhu from seeing the people of the deceased and retrieving his past.
"Then die!" Fang Yuzhu walked forward, her fair palm pressing down, distorting and blurring the space around her.
The Bai Ye Demon Emperor fought against him, but his body was suppressed and his primordial spirit quickly developed cracks, with blood splattering from his primordial spirit. He was an ancient demon emperor, yet it was as if he had been crushed by the sky, and he was about to be killed by a powerful force!
