No one expected that Seventh Uncle to be so fierce, even taking his own life directly.
"Whew."
But just as he made his move, a powerful hand grabbed his wrist.
"Chief
!"
Everyone cheered. At this critical moment, the patriarch stopped him.
However, although the clan leader was fast, Seventh Uncle's forehead was still pierced with a bloody hole. Fortunately, the clan leader managed to release his power just before it exploded.
"Seventh Uncle, are you trying to punish you with clan rules?" The Wangyue Clan chief was furious:
"As the backbone of the Wangyue clan, your life is not yours, but the entire clan. Who gave you the nerve to end your own life so easily?"
"Clan leader, I know I was wrong. Please punish me." Seventh Uncle looked deeply ashamed.
The Moonwatching Clan chief took a deep breath, suppressing his anger: "Go back and sit properly." "
Yes,"
Seventh Uncle respectfully saluted before returning to his seat.
"I say this not to shirk responsibility or boast about my achievements, but to tell you that the wisdom of our ancestors is beyond what you and I can compare to.
Our vision is no longer than our ancestors'. Originally, I was in seclusion, and the moment Long Chen entered the Moonwatching Clan, I was awakened by the ancestral spirit totem, which is why I caught up in all this. The chief of the Moonwatching Clan said.
"This ..."
Everyone was shocked. They knew the clan leader had indeed been in seclusion earlier.
"Could it be... the
Wangyue Clan chief said, "I don't know why the Ancestral Spirit Totem wanted to awaken me. When I exposed those traitors, I had already communicated with the Ancestral Spirit Totem to suppress and kill them."
But the Ancestral Spirit Totem showed no fluctuation. I don't know why the Ancestral Spirit Totem didn't kill them.
Obviously, the ancestral spirit totem did not appear because of that traitor; it appeared for Long Chen and the others. As
the Moon Gazing Clan chief spoke, the powerful figures present all showed expressions of disbelief.
The Moonwatching Clan chief said, "I don't know why Long Chen's appearance attracted the attention of the ancestral spirit totem, but the ancestor's reminder was definitely not without reason."
I just communicated with Changchuan. He has awakened the strongest vision of our Moonwatching Clan. "
Could it be ...?"
The experts present exclaimed.
"Changchuan is the hope for the rise of our Moonwatcher Clan. Without Long Chen, Changchuan might have already been schemed against and killed.
Changchuan is not dead; it is the fate of the Moonwatching Clan that has mysteriously protected and guided him.
If Long Chen were a bad person and endangered our clan's comfort, the Ancestral Spirit Totem would never stand by and do nothing. So, you understand what I mean, right? The chief of the Moonwatching Clan said.
Everyone nodded. Previously, they had unanimously opposed keeping their promises, mainly because they feared cooperating with the human race.
Ancestral spirit totems are their most steadfast faith; they never doubt the totem's choice.
"But rest assured, we will continue to observe Long Chen and will not entrust our own fate to others. The future of the Moonwatching Clan will always be in our own hands." The chief of the Moonwatching Clan said.
Hearing the Moon Gazing Clan chief's words, the powerful figures present all relaxed, and their hostility toward Long Chen lessened considerably.
So, Long Chen and the others stayed with the Moonwatching Clan. That day, Xu Changchuan took Long Chen and the others on a tour of the entire Moonwatching Clan's territory, which they called the Silver Moon World.
Within the Silver Moon World, spiritual energy was abundant to the extreme, even denser than the cultivation chamber blessed by Huayun Trading Company's formation.
At that moment, Yu Qingxuan, Xia Chen, and Guo Ran were instantly moved to tears of envy. Here, whether it was alchemy, artifact forging, or inscriptions, everything was far better than anywhere else.
They can only forge in cramped spaces, unable to experience the vast and boundless world, and thus cannot perceive the true Heavenly Dao. Although the cultivation chamber is said to be a microcosm of the Heavenly Dao, man-made things cannot compare to natural things.
At that time, Xia Chen joked that in the future, he could rent a place from the Wangyue clan and pay them relatively good rent, giving them whatever they wanted.
At that time, Xu Changchuan was extremely embarrassed. According to clan rules, the Wangyue clan cannot live with any race.
After visiting countless attractions in the Silver Moon World, Xu Changchuan led Long Chen and the others to a dark portal.
"Once you pass through this gate, you'll reach the Forbidden Zone of Life. The Forbidden Zone is a cursed land. Except for a few races, no one can set foot in this forbidden zone, or you'll instantly lose your lifespan and turn to dust.
But don't worry, you've already been blessed by the ancestral spirit totem. For a hundred years, the curse of the Life Forbidden Zone won't threaten you. Let's go and see! With
Xu Changchuan leading the way, Long Chen and the others followed into the dark gate. Once inside, the dense spiritual energy vanished instantly, replaced by a chilling aura that sent chills down their spines, like a bucket of cold water poured over them. Guo Ran and the others couldn't help but shiver.
"The spiritual energy here is abundant, almost comparable to the Silver Moon World, but because of the chaos law, this energy cannot be absorbed and can only be felt as chaos." Long Chen carefully sensed and said.
"I understand now. The reason the Silver Moon World has such dense spiritual energy is because of the barrier of the Dark Gate?" Xia Chen said in shock.
"Brother Xia is right. That Dark Gate blocks the chaotic aura outside and draws in spiritual energy, which is why the Silver Moon World has such abundant spiritual energy.
Unfortunately, the Moonwatcher Clan's cultivation doesn't require much spiritual energy, so all this spiritual energy is wasted here. Xu Changchuan said with a bitter smile.
Guo Ran originally wanted to ask what the Moonwatching Clan was relying on for cultivation, but Xia Chen tugged at him. Only then did Guo Ran swallow his words, thinking that asking about their cultivation secrets was a big taboo.
"Besides the Silver Moon World, our Moonwatching Clan has two other worlds. These two worlds were conquered by our previous clan leader and led us. I'll take you to see them."
Traveling through a dark world, time seemed to stand still, space constantly twisted, and as people walked, they couldn't find a sense of direction, not even knowing if they were walking head to toe.
It was extremely uncomfortable here, and they couldn't even tell the direction. Fortunately, Xu Changchuan was their guide; otherwise, Long Chen and the others wouldn't dare walk here. If they couldn't find the exit, it would be complete disaster.
After walking through the chaotic space for more than an hour, a portal suddenly appeared ahead. Upon entering, their eyes lit up—they had entered a desolate world.
"Roar!"
Before Long Chen and the others could properly assess the world before them, a furious roar erupted ahead, shaking the earth and mountains, followed by a piercing alarm.
"The dark monsters have invaded."
Xu Changchuan's expression changed, and he rushed over immediately.
