Wolf King Appears, Elder Turtle Strikes to Kill

Long ago, every so often, giant hands would descend from the sky and seize the living beings on the ground.

For this reason, the creatures of the earth fought back desperately, but it was always to no avail.

Then, one day, someone discovered a powerful force.

The paintings did not explain where this force came from, but they recorded how all living beings borrowed that force to defeat the giant hands in the sky.

At first, all living beings believed this force was a gift from heaven.

But later, they discovered that this force was even more dangerous than the giant hands in the sky.

At this point, the paintings ended.

Faced with this, Lin Hu hurriedly said, "Do you have any other patterns?"

"Take them out quickly. What happened afterward?"

"Sorry," Chen Changsheng said with both hands spread, "I've already taken out all the patterns I have."

"We've only pieced together one-tenth of the entire painting. To assemble the complete story, we need the patterns from all Eighteen Bronze Ancient Halls."

Hearing this, Lin Hu looked at the final section of the painting in the air.

Although the entire painting was fragmented and mostly blank, the final image was relatively complete.

That force had been sealed and suppressed beneath the Eighteen Bronze Ancient Halls.

The Eighteen Bronze Ancient Halls had been entrusted to eighteen races for safekeeping, two of which were the Human Race and the Demon Race.

As for the other sixteen races, those parts had long vanished with the passage of time.

After understanding the full chain of events, Lin Hu and Hu Zhan silently sealed off all of Chen Changsheng's escape routes.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng smacked his lips and said,

"Since I helped clear up your doubts, could you let me finish speaking before making your move?"

Hearing this, Hu Zhan smiled. "Your comprehension terrifies us!"

"Such talent would be treasured anywhere."

"But what I can't understand is why you came all the way to Night Moon Kingdom to participate in the Son-in-law Recruitment Assembly."

"At a time like this, don't try to fob me off with talk about admiring Princess Wanyan."

"Of course I had a purpose in coming to your Night Moon Kingdom. Otherwise, why would I travel so far to get here?"

"But before explaining my purpose, I want to tell you the story as I understand it."

"The cultivators of Night Moon Kingdom suddenly multiplied, beating the Great Qian Dynasty until they threw aside their helmets and armor."

"This bizarre situation left me unable to make head or tail of it all along the way. Yet after arriving in Night Moon Kingdom—"

"I learned something else: Night Moon Kingdom had once undergone a massive purge internally."

"I was equally puzzled by that, because I couldn't understand why Night Moon Kingdom's strength had increased rather than declined after the purge."

"At the same time, I learned that the Great Qian Dynasty may have produced a traitor."

"All the clues seemed connected, yet they were always missing one crucial piece."

"Until now, I finally found that key."

As he spoke, Chen Changsheng walked over to the Bronze Ancient Hall again.

"The Eighteen Bronze Ancient Halls all depicted the same story, but because of their great age, they had become badly damaged."

"A single Bronze Ancient Hall alone cannot piece together any useful information."

"So I have reason to suspect that the traitor of the Great Qian Dynasty brought this secret and defected to Night Moon Kingdom."

"And have you noticed? The Bronze Ancient Hall here was deliberately damaged."

"The damaged portion happened to be the part where all living beings borrowed the power of Calamity."

After hearing this, Hu Zhan immediately had a bad feeling.

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Hearing this, Chen Changsheng plopped down on the ground and said leisurely,

"I'm saying that you should stop thinking about killing me, because you aren't the ones who will get the chance to kill me."

"Judging from your reactions, you don't know the secret behind Night Moon Kingdom's sudden rise in strength either."

"If I'm not mistaken, the two of you came here to investigate this secret."

"Now that you know this secret, do you think the people who deliberately damaged the Bronze Ancient Hall will let you go?"

"Good!"

"A young talent like you is truly rare in this world. You have truly opened my eyes!"

The moment Chen Changsheng finished speaking, the Wolf King and Elder Turtle walked out from nearby.

Seeing the Wolf King appear, Hu Zhan and Lin Hu panicked.

Hu Zhan immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Reporting to the Wolf King, this man is a spy. We were just preparing to offer him to you."

In response to Hu Zhan's words, the Wolf King gave a cold laugh.

"You Fox Clan always loves playing petty tricks. Back then, you incited the Tiger Clan to pursue Yue'er for no more than the chance to use Yue'er to uncover the secret behind this."

"Now that you know the secret, are you still not satisfied?"

As soon as those words were spoken, cold sweat streamed down Hu Zhan's forehead.

The Wolf King continued, "The two Old Antiques of the Fox Clan and Tiger Clan thought that by joining forces, they could make me hand over the secret."

"That notion is simply too naive."

With a wave of his right hand, the Wolf King tossed two bloody heads before Hu Zhan.

At the sight, Hu Zhan and Lin Hu were so terrified that their souls nearly fled their bodies.

They had never imagined the Wolf King's strength could be so terrifying.

"You are the future of the Demon Race. If you abandon darkness and turn toward the light now, I can spare your lives and even grant you a fortuitous opportunity."

Faced with the olive branch extended by the Wolf King, Hu Zhan and Lin Hu did not hesitate and directly chose to submit.

After settling Lin Hu and Hu Zhan, the Wolf King turned his gaze toward Chen Changsheng.

"Chen Changsheng, I greatly admire your talent. Tell me who is behind this and submit to me, and I will spare your life."

Hearing this, Chen Changsheng smiled. "I'm afraid the Wolf King will be disappointed. You will never guess who stands behind me."

"Also, from what I know, obtaining that power seems to require a Blood Sacrifice."

"The reason the Wolf King hasn't killed me yet is probably because you don't want to waste me."

At those words, the Wolf King narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "You truly know a great deal."

"Since that is the case, I'll grant your wish."

With a wave of his hand, the Wolf King directly brought Chen Changsheng to another place.

A massive Blood Pool appeared before Chen Changsheng, its surroundings already covered in white bones.

Bang!

The corpses of two Spirit Transformation experts from the Fox Clan and Tiger Clan were thrown into it.

The Blood Pool instantly began to boil. Before long, a pitch-black pill condensed within it.

Looking at the pill in his hand, the Wolf King swallowed it in one gulp, then frowned.

"Without Yue'er's blood as the catalyst, this Blood Pool likely cannot help me break through to the Spirit Transformation realm!"

"Elder Turtle, is there truly no other way?"

Hearing this, Elder Turtle walked to the Wolf King's side and said, "In reply to the Wolf King, this old man does indeed have another method."

"What method?"

Pfft!

A hand instantly pierced through the Wolf King's chest, while countless black words crawled from Elder Turtle's hand onto the Wolf King's body.

"By eating you, I can break through to the Spirit Transformation realm."

Looking at Elder Turtle before him, the Wolf King's eyes were filled with disbelief.
