In the Holy Moon City, hundreds of cultivators from every clan in the city crowded the streets, which confused those who were not members of those clans, especially since Bai Lanhua had intentionally not informed them about her plan to exterminate the people of the Dark Moon Sect.
Up in the sky, Bai Lanhua hovered there with her gaze focused on the west, and her four aides faithfully awaited her orders behind her.
"Hmm?" Bai Lanhua suddenly raised her eyebrows as soon as she received the voice transmission, and she immediately turned to the four women. "Order them to move now, and we will go directly to their old sect, especially since Mo Tianxie and the others are hiding there."
"Yes, Big Sis!" They immediately ordered the cultivators below to depart. After that, they followed Bai Lanhua, who had flown west.
The beast tamer race had also left the sandstorm while riding their beasts, but their numbers were not too many—only about twenty people. Even so, their numbers were overwhelming for the members of the Dark Moon Sect, particularly considering that the majority of them had already reached the Nirvana Realm and their two leaders had advanced to the five god realms.
Initially, Shou Xun was reluctant to include them, particularly because he and Shou Liang were already capable of dealing with their enemies. However, a significant number of their younger generation had fallen victim to these heretics, prompting them to seek retribution for their deaths.
"Have Bai Lanhua and the others started moving, brother?"
"Yes." Shou Xun replied to Shou Xiang as he turned in another direction. "They're already moving toward those heretics' old sect, so we'll move slowly and wait for them to arrive. Since they are natives to this realm, it will be their responsibility to cleanse those people, and we will support them."
Shou Liang nodded in agreement before glancing at the members of their race, and their muderous looks made him smile wryly. "Look at our people; they are so eager to kill those heretics, so I'm sure they won't obey your orders this time and will move to slaughter them as soon as we get there."
"Haha." Shou Xun laughed upon hearing that. "Let them do whatever they want, so the people in this realm will realize the power of our race, and no one will dare harass or kill our younger generations. Anyway, our Emperor should have already left for the Azure Mystic Realm, right?"
"Yes." Shou Liang nodded and informed him directly. "Xiang'er told me that our Emperor and the others had already left early in the morning, and she was going on a group mission with his other two wives to protect them."
Shou Xun nodded in satisfaction with Shou Xiang's last sentence. "I hope our Emperor and Empress can improve their cultivation faster, so we can also return to the Five Divine Heavens faster than we originally planned, and we will free Ancestor Tianxian from the hands of those traitors. After that, we will help them reclaim everything that is rightfully theirs, and we will drench that place with the blood of those rotten people."
"Haha." Shou Liang laughed upon hearing that, especially since he himself couldn't wait for that day to come. "If we succeed in freeing Ancestor Tianxian, then our beast-tamer race will shine again, and we will fight hard to regain our peace afterward."
"Move!" Shou Xun shouted for the people of his race to move, but they were not in a hurry to reach their destination, preferring to wait for Bai Lanhua's group to arrive.
Two spirit women stood side by side above the Illusory Forest, their gazes fixed on the other two regions. "They finally made their move, so those heretics will disappear from this realm soon, and this realm will be safe for Wei'er and the others."
"Yes." Xiao Shijian nodded in agreement with Xiao Hei, but she then asked her a question. "Are you sure that the darkness element you found on the Ancient King Island belongs to that race?"
"I am the spirit of darkness, remember?" Xiao Hei asked back with a shake of her head. "I can't be wrong about my guess, and the darkness element in that place truly belongs to the dark race. However, I don't understand their purpose for invading the middle realms, and they might also invade the lower realms in the future."
Xiao Shijian fell into deep thought, trying to analyze all the events that began with the dark race's initial disappearance until they reappeared to incite those traitors, as well as the recent events that Xiao Hei had encountered in the Azure Mystic Realm. "What do you think will happen if my old friend comes into contact with that darkness?"
"I can't be sure about that yet, and it all depends on him." Xiao Hei responded with a shake of her head. "If Chen Li succumbs to darkness, Hermit Long might take over his body, but you should be able to stop him. However, I'm worried about the devil Long Wang, especially since he is the most evil of all his reincarnations, and he always kills other living beings indiscriminately. If he falls under his control, he will undoubtedly become as evil as him, causing harm to those around him, and Feng Xian'er will be powerless to stop him."
"You're right." Xiao Shijian replied while letting out a heavy sigh. "I had to kill the devil Long Wang back then due to his excessive actions, which resulted in the deaths of countless people. That's why I hope my old friend won't fall under the control of his former self, especially since I don't want to kill him again. Otherwise, he would never be able to become whole again, especially since the Chaos Body would not appear for another million or billion years."
Xiao Hei then embraced Xiao Shijian's shoulder. "Don't worry; Chen Li is different from Emperor Long or his other reincarnations, and I am sure he will not allow himself to fall under the control of the devil Long Wang. Perhaps that guy will fall under his control instead, and we may see a different reincarnation of the ancient Long Wang in the future."
A few seconds later, the two spirit women were already standing in an old sect building—the same building used by those heretics before they built the Dark Moon Sect.
"Why did you bring me here? Do you want to help them take care of these heretics?" Xiao Hei inquired, casting a confused glance at Xiao Shijian.
"I won't waste my Qi just to take care of these people." Xiao Shijian then pointed to an area not far from those heretics' old sect. "Don't you feel anything unusual coming from there?"
"Hmm?" Xiao Hei turned her head in the direction she pointed, using her senses to examine the area. When she discovered the unusual thing Xiao Shijian was referring to, she raised her eyebrows. "Isn't that-"
"Yes." Xiao Shijian nodded to her. "If you hadn't told me about it earlier, I wouldn't have noticed it. It should be the same darkness that you found in the Azure Mystic Realm, which means it has infected the entire universe's qi veins. However, this realm is located a considerable distance from the Five Divine Heavens, so the darkness has not yet completely invaded it. Therefore, you have the opportunity to stop it before it spreads further and causes the residents to go berserk. As for that realm, I want you to go to that tomb with my old friend, because you're the only one who can stop it."
"I know, but I will wait for news from Chen Li." Xiao Hei then disappeared from Xiao Shijian's sight, and she did something to the darkness that they had just discovered.
Sometime later, Xiao Hei returned to Xiao Shijian's side again and informed her. "I have absorbed the darkness that infected this realm's qi veins, but I think it will return again, especially since I can't seal it, or it will hinder qi spread, which will harm them all."
"All right, I'll leave this area to you, and you must continue to absorb that darkness, so it won't spread and affect them." Xiao Shijian then looked out into space and fell into deep thought once again. "Back then, my sole focus was on my old friend, and I couldn't care about other matters, so there were so many ancient things that I didn't know about. If I remember correctly, the dark race appeared during the era of the devil Long Wang, but they disappeared in the era before the Hermit Long, and they reappeared in the era of Emperor Long until now."
"The era before the Hermit Long?" Xiao Shijian nodded to Xiao Hei. "As far as I remember, Long Wang's reincarnation before that guy was the weakest Long Wang, right?" Read full story at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
"Yes." Once again, Xiao Shijian answered her question with a nod. "He was the weakest compared to all his reincarnations, and he was even weaker than Chen Li even though he was born as a dragon, so he was the one who lived the shortest life. However, he was the smartest of all, and he had a private place that he built by himself, which should still exist today, so I thought of bringing my old friend there one day."
