Following Long Chen's gaze, through the endless sea of monsters, people saw a group of figures lurking in the darkness.
On the arena, there was no shade or buildings, yet these creatures were cast in eerie shadows.
Though few in number, they were out of place among the surrounding beings. In their area, the dark monsters couldn't get close or attacked them. Whether they couldn't see them or didn't dare to attack, it was extremely strange.
They were the Night Clan. On the surface, they looked very similar to humans, but were small and thin, looking fragile. It was hard to imagine that these "weak" beings were the infamous Night Assassins.
The Night Clan was originally the elven race, a branch of the Spirit Clan. Their history dates back to the Chaos Era and they are an extremely ancient species.
The Night Clan originated from the Night Elf clan. However, in ancient times, the Night Elves were tempted by demons, some turned to darkness, broke away from the elves, and slaughtered their mother clan. The Night Elves were nearly wiped out by them.
Later, the Spirit Clan united and attacked the Night Assassins together, leaving them severely weakened. However, the Night Assassins possessed powerful hidden abilities, and after being defeated, they hid away, leaving the Spirit Clan unable to find them.
For countless years, the Night Assassins have claimed to be the overlords of the Night, abandoning their elven identity and calling themselves the Night Clan.
The Night Elves are a powerful race. They are naturally kind-hearted, with strong bloodlines, possessing formidable lethality and healing powers.
However, after the Night Clan broke away from the Elves, they abandoned healing power and devoted all their divine abilities to increasing their lethality.
After countless generations of reproduction, the healing power of the Night Clan has almost vanished, but their destructive power has only grown more terrifying.
Although the Spirit Clan had tried countless times to eliminate this traitorous race, the Night Clan had always been hiding and couldn't find any trace of them.
It wasn't until nearly a million years that the Night Clan reappeared in the Nine Heavens, but now, the Night Clan is no longer what it once was.
Their numbers were already astonishing—even the Spirit Clan dared not easily declare war on them.
Because the Spirit Clan is scattered, few major clans have the strength to deal with the Night Clan alone. Moreover, if they make a move against the Night Clan, if they can't win, they will launch bloody retaliation.
They would attack those weaker Spirit Clan members, which would exhaust them from running around. Therefore, the Spirit Clan was extremely wary of the Night Clan and dared not declare war lightly.
Therefore, now that the Dark Night Clan has openly appeared on the arena, even the Night Elves, who have a deep blood feud with them, dare not seek revenge.
The Night Clan carved out a separate territory, keeping it apart from the surrounding forces, making it seem extremely abrupt.
When Long Chen looked at them, it was easy for people to find their target. The Night Clan had only hundreds of thousands of people, but the pressure they exerted was astonishing.
They are exposed to people's sight, but shadows shimmer around them, their bodies constantly suspended between illusion and reality, as if they could vanish at any moment.
As everyone's gaze focused on the Night Clan, one figure among them drew everyone's attention.
It was a woman. Although she was a bit shorter than an ordinary human woman, she was much taller than the other Dark Night Clan experts, standing out like a crane among chickens.
What stood out wasn't just her height and physique, but also the boundless ripples behind her. Behind her, it seemed like a door to darkness. Once she opened the gate, the world would plunge into eternal darkness.
Black stripes flowed in her eyes, like demonic pupils; if you stared at them, it felt as if your soul was being sucked in.
At this moment, she also looked coldly at Long Chen. She didn't care at all about the deaths of those dozens of night assassins, and in the face of Long Chen's challenge, she didn't seem angry. Her lips moved slightly, and her icy voice echoed through the void:
"Probing is necessary. I won't kill nobodies, nor weak enemies. Be my opponent, A certain level of qualification is required. The
woman from the Dark Night Clan spoke, claiming to be a princess. No wonder the entire Dark Night Clan looked up to her.
"You do need to be qualified. I've reserved your head. I don't want you to disturb Brother Long Chen. Otherwise, not only will you waste your energy, you might even lose your life. Your opponent is me!"
Before Long Chen could reply, another cold voice rang out—it was Dongming Yu speaking.
Dongming Yu stood together with the powerful warriors of the Undying Nether Willow clan. Facing endless dark monsters, they felt no pressure and didn't need to intervene. Only a portion of the Undying clan warriors needed to intervene to block them.
Dongming Yu coldly stared at the princess of the Dark Night Clan in the distance, a strange fighting spirit igniting in her eyes. For some reason, when she noticed this woman, a certain power within her was quietly awakening.
The princess of the Night Clan snorted coldly and was about to speak when she suddenly looked closely at Dongming Yuzhi, her pupils contracting slightly:
"You actually possess the divine powers of the Night Elf?"
"What did you say?" Dongmingyu was taken aback; she didn't understand what he meant.
But suddenly she thought of two words: "Dark Night." The Dark Night Clan? Night Elf? Silent in the Dark Night? Could there be some connection between this?
"What I say doesn't matter. You just need to know that I will personally behead you." The princess of the Night Clan's face darkened, her eyes filled with murderous intent. She looked at Dongming Yu as if she were seeing the enemy who killed her father.
Dongming Yu was a bit baffled, but she vaguely felt that things were not so simple. Could it be that her master had some connection with the Night Elf clan?
However, no matter how fiercely the princess of the Dark Night Clan was, Dongming Yu didn't care—she had already become her target for assassination.
The conversation between Dongming Yu and the princess of the Night Clan made countless people's hearts race, because they also thought of something: the Shadow Sect. Could it really be related to the Night Elves?
Some elder experts have even heard of Ye Wusheng. It is said that Ye Wusheng has a slender figure and graceful posture, especially with long legs, which are quite different from humans and indeed very similar to the elves.
"Boom!"
Just as people were speculating about the connection between Ye Wusheng and the Night Elf, the entire arena suddenly exploded, and the nine giant dragons within the Nine-Dragon Barrier at the center of the arena shattered with a thunderous crash.
At that moment, countless people's expressions changed. The nine dragons shattered, the barrier shattered, and the Fortune Pearl was exposed. People went mad, seemingly unable to see the dark monsters anymore, charging straight at the Fortune Pearl.
