Secrets of the Past

After everything he had experienced, combined with what White Lord had said, Chen Fan recalled sensing a power similar to that of the Mutated Blood Beasts when the Ancient Wilderness Sect had been destroyed.

It was not difficult for him to guess that the destruction of the Ancient Wilderness Sect was inextricably linked to the great calamity—the so-called "Abyss."

And at this very moment.

The gatekeeper of the Solar God Race had spoken those words, confirming Chen Fan's suspicions.

White Lord drew a deep breath, his cat head nodding as he asked anxiously and hopefully,

"Do you know what happened to our Sect Master afterward? Did he... die?"

The phantom let out a long sigh. "Lord Gu Huang indeed perished..."

"How could that be?"

White Lord's cat face scrunched into a ball as he asked in confusion,

"The Sect Master had also surpassed the sixth level of Longevity. Even within the Sun God Court, he counted among the stronger ranks. He should have been able to protect the Ancient Wilderness Sect from the Abyss's invasion. Why would he die?"

After learning of the Purple Moon Secret Realm's existence, White Lord had still held onto a sliver of hope that the Ancient Wilderness Sect Master was alive.

Both were beings beyond the sixth level. The Purple Moon Immortal had even been able to protect his own sect and secret realm through the great calamity. There was no reason the Ancient Wilderness Sect Master could not have done the same, right?

As Chen Fan listened to White Lord, his expression became subtle as well. Beyond the sixth level of Longevity meant a being on the same level as a Demon God King.

Even such a being had died in the great calamity. Naturally, Chen Fan found that astonishing.

Perhaps...
