Beginning

Three days later.

As night shrouded Ancient Yin Ruin City, Gao Jing stepped out of the inn where he was staying.

He looked up at the night sky and saw a full Blood Moon hanging high in the heavens, casting an eerie glow.

Today was the day when the Blood Moon was at its largest and roundest of the year, much like the sixteenth day of the eighth month in the Main World.

It was said that on this day, many strange things would occur across the boundless wilderness. Demon Beasts and Demon Ghosts would become exceptionally powerful, and no one dared casually leave the cities where they lived.

Tonight was also the day of Ancient Yin Ruin City's Blood Moon Auction.

Gao Jing had already waited here for three days.

Over those three days, he had wandered throughout the city and gained quite a thorough understanding of this Chaos City.

Hopefully, there would be something to gain tonight.

He hailed a passing beast carriage by the roadside and tossed the driver a Shell Coin. "Take me to the Moon God Temple."

The Blood Moon Society worshipped and revered the Blood Moon. To that end, they had built a massive Moon God Temple within Ancient Yin Ruin City for offerings and worship.

The Moon God Temple was also the Blood Moon Society's lair.

The annual Blood Moon Auction was held inside the Moon God Temple.

"Certainly, Wizard."

The driver accepted the Shell Coin and replied with great respect, "Please take your seat."

He drove Gao Jing toward the Moon God Temple while raising the whip in his hand and lashing it at a passerby blocking the road. "Get lost!"

The Beastfolk was whipped until his face was covered in blood. He fell to the ground, howling in pain.
