Spirit Mine!
"How can this be? This is absolutely unacceptable!"
Wuyue Qing almost screamed; she couldn't believe that this was the decision her usually wise father had made.
If the Yin Mountain Sect wins this third match, wouldn't they be suppressed by those peasants for ten years straight?!
Wuyue Qing found it hard to accept.
But it wasn't just Wuyue Qing from the entire Moonless Household who couldn't accept this outcome.
As the head of the family, how could he not know how important his promise was to the entire Lineage?
But the Moonless Household Head had no choice. Rather than sitting and waiting for the Yin Mountain Sect to seize control of Moonless City, they might as well fight it out here!
"Father, don't be foolish. Five years will pass in the blink of an eye. At worst, we can suffer some injustices during these five years and be careful. After five years, we will still be able to take back this city!" At this moment, Wuyue Qing's heart was full of resentment.
This applies not only to family members, but also to the Yin Mountain Sect.
If the Yin Mountain Sect hadn't stolen their victory this time, how could the Moonless Household have fallen to this state?
The Moonless Household Head looked at his daughter's increasingly distorted face and sighed helplessly, "Qing'er, you don't understand. This city must not fall into the hands of the Yin Mountain Sect under any circumstances."
"Why? When we held this city before, wasn't the Yin Mountain Sect doing just fine? Even if we gave it up for five years, what's wrong with that?" Wuyue Qing couldn't understand it no matter how she thought about it.
"Of course not!" The Moonless Household Head's expression suddenly changed, and the ferocity in his eyes startled Wuyue Qing.
Everyone else had left the house, leaving only the father and daughter.
After an unbearable silence, the Moonless Household Head finally spoke, "Do you know what control of a city represents? It's not just about fame and glory, but also wealth and endless Cultivation Resources!"
"You think the Yin Mountain Sect looks good, but you have no idea what we've done to them in the past five years, almost driving them to the brink of collapse. Non-Self hadn't interfered, the Yin Mountain Sect would be many times better off than it is now!"
Just like the Moonless Household could find powerful outside help, while the Yin Mountain Sect, apart from the three Sang Ying they were lucky enough to recruit, only had their own disciples. It could be said that if it weren't for Sang Ying and the others interfering, the Moonless Clan might have been the victor in the competition between the two families for the next few decades.
Upon hearing this, Wuyue Qing seemed to understand something, but she was still unwilling to give up. "But Father, even so, it shouldn't be worth making you take such a big risk to agree to such an important thing, right?"
"Indeed, these alone are not enough. But what if we add a spirit mine?" His voice was low and seductive.
By the time Sang Ying learned from Liu Duanyue that the Yin Mountain Sect and the Moonless Clan were about to have a third match, it was already after the two families had made a complete agreement.
Liu Duanyue had some complaints about this, and she dragged Sang Ying and the others aside to complain for a long time, "Is my dad getting senile? We've already won two matches, why are we still agreeing to their terms?"
Liu Duanyue couldn't understand it at all; in his view, delay would only lead to unforeseen changes. He couldn't rest easy until he had Moonless City under his control as soon as possible.
But after hearing Liu Duanyue's words, Sang Ying had a different thought, "Have you ever considered that this might be a deliberate scheme by Sect Master Liu and the others?"
Liu Duanyue was stunned; he really hadn't thought of that.
"Sect Master Liu is not the kind of person who would joke about the Yin Mountain Sect. Since he agreed, it means that it is beneficial to the Yin Mountain Sect." This is what Sang Ying has seen from Sect Master Liu these past few days.
For the previous five years, Moonless City was controlled by others, and their Yin Mountain Sect probably suffered considerable pressure. But even under these circumstances, Sect Master Liu was able to ensure that the Yin Mountain Sect still maintained its strength and could rival the Moonless Clan.
This is enough to prove how capable Sect Master Liu, and it is also enough to prove that he is not a short-sighted person.
After hearing what she said, Liu Duanyue gradually came to her senses. "Wait a minute, I'll go ask my father."
He left those words behind and immediately set off to find someone.
As for Sang Ying and the other two, they didn't intend to stop them. After all, Sang Ying was quite interested in taking a look at this hidden secret realm.
"You want to go to that secret realm?" Jiang Zhuoxue suddenly asked when only the two of them were left in the room.
Sang Ying looked over and saw the boy's slightly pale face.
He looked so weak; that sense of fragility seemed to have been with him ever since I first saw him.
"Yes, I've heard that there are many good things in that secret realm. If you have the fortuitous opportunity, you can bring them out. I want to go and see it too." It is said that a kind of spirit medicine unique to the Hidden Nether Realm grows there, which can replenish Qi and Blood and make wounds heal quickly.
This kind of spirit medicine is extremely rare; it's said that it hasn't appeared in the Hidden Nether Realm for a long time. It's said that someone has seen it in that little secret realm, and if Sang Ying doesn't go there, she doesn't know where else she can find this spirit medicine.
Sang Ying had originally thought that since she had helped the Yin Mountain Sect twice, she should be able to get a chance to enter the secret realm from them. Unexpectedly, before she could even ask, this great opportunity was presented to her.
But it's too early to say anything now. What if she can't find the spirit medicine?
Sang Ying suppressed her thoughts and did not reveal her plans.
After hearing her words, Jiang Zhuoxue pursed her lips silently. "My luck is pretty good. If there's anything you want, you can tell me."
His voice was low, but Sang Ying still heard him clearly.
She was somewhat surprised, never expecting Jiang Zhuoxue to take the initiative to befriend her at this time.
Is this guy so trusting? She only helped him out of a moment of kindness.
For some reason, thinking about these things made Sang Ying's heart ache.
"Okay, if I see anything I like, I'll come find you."
Jiang Zhuoxue was finally satisfied after receiving Sang Ying's assurance. He hadn't forgotten that Sang Ying had been spending a lot of time with Gu Wangchuan these past few days, almost forgetting about him completely.
Fortunately, Gu Wangchuan won't be coming along this time. He was extremely satisfied!
Sang Ying and Jiang Zhuoxue's little secrets were naturally not for outsiders to know.
However, soon, news spread that the Yin Mountain Sect and the Moonless Clan were going to have a third match, and that they were betting on control of the next ten years.
The first reaction everyone had upon hearing this news was: Moonless Clan gone mad?
After all, it was obvious to anyone that the agreement between the two parties clearly favored the Yin Mountain Sect.
The discussions outside had no effect on either side, and the list of those entering the hidden realm was quickly finalized.
When Wuyue Qing saw Sang Ying's name on the list from the Yin Mountain Sect, she subconsciously felt a sense of fear.
This female cultivator surnamed Sang seems to be gradually destroying her self-confidence.

He'll probably be leaving this world soon, poor little Jiang will be left behind again...
Jiang Zhuoxue: You're such a stepmother!
