The Sun-Chasing Hall and Moonless City

When Wuming returned to find Sang Ying and Jiang Zhuoxue after seeing his nephew, it was a fine day with good weather in the Hidden Nether Realm.

The thick fog in the air has dissipated considerably, and even faint glimpses of sunlight can be seen.

Many people in the Hidden Nether Realm had never seen such a scene before, and they all happily ran out to the streets to watch the excitement.

Shopkeeper Zhao should have been one of them, but he simply wasn't in the mood right now.

Wuming was still wrapped in that tattered black robe. He had two black robes, one of which was destroyed on the night he went to kill Song Xiong. The one he was wearing now was the only one left.

"Greetings to my two benefactors. My business is now settled. From now on, I will follow you to repay your kindness." Wuming didn't even wait for Sang Ying and Jiang Zhuoxue to speak before confirming his status as their follower.

Sang Ying sighed helplessly, "You don't need to do this. We don't need you to repay this kindness with your life. Nor do we need you to follow us around."

But Wuming stubbornly shook his head. "If you two had only saved us once, I might not have done this, but you saved me twice and gave me the opportunity to avenge my family. This is an immense favor to me, and I want to stay by your side for the rest of my life."

"Although my Spirit Root is not good, my swordsmanship is still passable. I only ask that you two benefactors keep me by your side." When Wuming said these words, he had already made up his mind that even if the people in front of him disagreed, he would stay by their side.

Sang Ying and the others didn't know the details, but Duan Hanyi understood Wuming's temperament perfectly. He could only advise from the side, "Fellow Daoist Sang, you should let him stay. He's very stubborn. If you don't agree, he'll probably chase after you and refuse to leave."

In the end, Jiang Zhuoxue made the final decision. "Since that's the case, you can stay with us. But I'm warning you beforehand, what we're about to do will be life-threatening. If you stay with us, you must never betray us. Otherwise, I will definitely take your life!"

Jiang Zhuoxue spoke very seriously, and Wuming should also speak very seriously.

The two of them exchanged words and answers, and that was how they settled the matter.

Duan Hanyi was pleased to see that his friend could finally travel with them, but his joy was overshadowed by the thought of Min'er. He asked with concern, "Did you inform Min'er before you left with Fellow Daoist Sang?"

Wuming nodded, placed Song Xiong's head in front of and behind his parents' graves, and immediately went to find his nephew.

In fact, he had once sought revenge against Song Xiong, but at that time Song Xiong was at the height of his power. He hadn't cultivated properly before and hadn't learned anything, instead falling into the Song Household's trap.

His elder brother saved him once again, but in doing so, his brother suffered severe injuries. They had no Spirit Stone or spirit medicine, and in the end...

After the Wuming elder brother died, his sister-in-law gave birth to her nephew with great difficulty. When Min'er was a month old, the sister-in-law passed away due to exhaustion and grief over her husband's death.

Wuming felt deeply that he had caused his family's tragedy, so he had lived in pain and despair for years. It wasn't until he killed Song Xiong with his own hands that he truly came back to life.

He said, "I left Min'er with the Chen Household. The Chu Household is gone now, Min'er has no talent or Spirit Root. I just want him to continue living an ordinary life."

The Chu Household's affairs caused quite a stir in Spring Returns City. Madam Song had already left with her child, handing over all her treasures before leaving.

Wuming dared not let others know Min'er's identity, fearing that those people would use his name to seize the Chu Household's possessions. He also dared not bring his nephew with him, because he knew that Sang Ying and the other person were definitely going to take risks, and bringing Min'er along would only hasten his death.

Wuming had made up his mind that once he had protected Sang Ying and the other two through the so-called great calamity of the Cultivation World, if he was still alive by then, he would come back to find Min'er and live with the Chen Household.

If, unfortunately, he did not survive, or Min'er had already died of old age by then, then their fate would be sealed.

Wuming knew that he had always been a selfish person, and this time was no exception.

Looking at her friend's expressionless face, Duan Hanyi felt the atmosphere in the room was too oppressive, so she casually changed the subject to try and divert everyone's attention. "Sigh, why does Shopkeeper Zhao look so gloomy today? He's usually all smiles."

"So you didn't know," Sang Ying sighed. "Among those who attacked you that day was the waiter from this inn, Xiao Sanzi."

Upon hearing this, not only Duan Hanyi, but even Wuming showed a moment of surprise.

"Xiao Sanzi? How could he..." Duan Hanyi was able to get along with the Min Household, so naturally she knew something about Shopkeeper Zhao's affairs.

Xiao Sanzi was a beggar boy he picked up and lived with for many years. Now, Xiao Sanzi turned out to be a member of the Sun-Chasing Hall, and he himself was afflicted with Curse!

These two truths were presented to him, and he couldn't accept them immediately.

This explains why Duan Hanyi noticed him staring blankly at the front door.

In fact, not only were they surprised, but Sang Ying and Jiang Zhuoxue were equally surprised when they melted the two pieces of ice and saw the person inside.

Xiao Sanzi's usual image in front of Sang Ying was that of an honest and simple person. She never imagined that such a person would one day change his appearance and kill someone.

However, Xiao Sanzi clearly still had some feelings for Shopkeeper Zhao. After realizing that he had been exposed, he whispered to Sang Ying not to tell Shopkeeper Zhao about it. His life had already been ruined by the Sun-Chasing Hall, but he didn't want to disappoint Shopkeeper Zhao.

Sang Ying refused him. After all, Shopkeeper Zhao had raised him for so many years, and he had the right to know what kind of person he had raised.

Sure enough, upon learning everything, Shopkeeper Zhao immediately collapsed to the ground. After regaining his senses, he grabbed a broom and started hitting Xiao Sanzi.

Fortunately, Xiao Sanzi finally admitted that he was discovered and recruited by the people of the Sun-Chasing Hall only after the red marks appeared on his body, and that he hadn't been faking illness to deceive Shopkeeper Zhao from the beginning. Only then did the manager's anger subside considerably.

However, Shopkeeper Zhao still threatened him. "If you don't tell Fairy Sang and the other girl everything you know, you can go back to your Sun-Chasing Hall and never come back to the inn! I'll pretend I never raised you, never saw you! We're done for each other from now on!"

These words truly frightened Xiao Sanzi, and his eyes immediately reddened. He no longer dared to play tricks on Sang Ying and the others, and when they asked Xiao Sanzi, he obediently told them everything he knew.

The most important point is. "The headquarters of the Sun-Chasing Hall is located in Moonless City!"
