Chapter 555: Moonfall Land

At the entrance to a mountain valley.

"Old Ancestor, the Zong Family has been wiped out!"

Zong Shuai gazed at the Firmament, his deep voice chilling as he spoke, his eyes glinting with hatred and malice!

"I’ve heard. It was the work of a man named Ji Xuanyuan."

Beside Zong Shuai was an old man who looked to be at death’s door. He was nothing but skin and bones, yet his aura was terrifying to the extreme.

If anyone were here, they would surely cry out in shock: a Nirvana Great Power at the Divine Silence Level!

"I heard that Ji Xuanyuan used an Unparalleled Killing Array and a Supreme Sacred Dao Weapon, in addition to three Nirvana Realm experts, to destroy my Zong Family before vanishing without a trace."

"Then yesterday, a rumor spread from the Lost Mountain Range that Ye Wushuang possessed a Holy Dao Soldier. Could this be related to him?"

Zong Shuai said coldly.

"Whether it’s him or not, we must investigate first. At this critical juncture, you must remain calm. Our Zong Family has suffered a great catastrophe, leaving only the two of us. We are not as we were before. We must be cautious with every step. The slightest misstep will see us crushed to dust."

The Zong Family’s ancestor reminded him, "As long as we survive, the Zong Family will rise again. When that time comes, we will reign supreme over the world!"

"I understand. But regardless, Ye Wushuang must die. I feel he’s a greater threat to me than even the Dragon King or Dongfang Youdi. He must be eliminated."

Zong Shuai’s gaze was sharp. He had already heard about what Ye Wushuang had done in the Lost Mountain Range, and he was beginning to see him as one of his greatest obstacles!

"Pay him no mind for now. We’ll discuss this after we get the Moon God Flower. That boy has offended not only the Mo Family and the Jing Family, but also the Celestial Dome. His life won’t be easy. We just have to quietly wait for the right opportunity to kill him in one strike and eliminate this threat for good."

The Zong Family’s ancestor said softly, his mind already calculating everything. He wouldn’t make a move until he had a clear understanding of the relationship between Ye Wushuang and Sinful City.

After all, the Sinful City Lord was a taboo figure whom even the Celestial Dome wouldn’t cross. What chance did a mere Nirvana Great Power at the Divine Silence Level First Layer like himself have?

"The right opportunity will come. I’m sure Mo Wentian, Jing Hui, and the others are also very eager to kill Ye Wushuang."

Zong Shuai gazed up at the sky and murmured to himself as a sharp glint flashed in his eyes!

...

「Three days later, it was the night of the full moon!」

A silver moon hung high in the Firmament, shining with exceptional brilliance among the myriad stars!

Rays of silver light poured down, blanketing the ancient trees in the Lost Mountain Range with a silvery sheen and illuminating the pitch-black night sky.

The moon-shaped pendant around Xiaoxiao’s neck also began to shimmer, as if resonating with the silver moon in the sky.

"Big Brother, it’s deep in the Lost Mountain Range."

Xiaoxiao seemed to sense something, turning her head to call out to Ye Wushuang.

"Xiaoo Yue, let’s go take a look." Ye Wushuang called to the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc beneath him. The Celestial Roc spread its wings and took flight, soaring through the night sky toward the depths of the mountain range.

Before long, the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc came to a stop before a lake deep within the mountain range.

The lake was like a mirror, reflecting the silver moon and the host of stars.

But what was surprising was that there wasn’t just one silver moon reflected on the lake’s surface, but two. The sight of the twin moons appearing together was truly spectacular.

"Big Brother, Xiaoxiao senses that this big lake is the Moonfall Land!"

Her small hand clutched the Time Pendant as she spoke abruptly. It was a strange, inexplicable statement, as if she simply knew it to be true.

Ye Wushuang frowned, his gaze fixed on the Time Pendant in astonishment.

He had witnessed firsthand how terrifying this item was; he had almost fallen prey to it. He never imagined Xiaoxiao would be completely unaffected.

’How strange!’

Ye Wushuang was thoroughly bewildered.

"If the Moonfall Land is here, then the Moon God Flower should be here as well."

After scanning the area with his Divine Sense, Nanbei turned to look at Ye Wushuang.

He found Ye Wushuang staring right back at him. "Are you still thinking about winning the Moon God Flower for the marriage contest?" Ye Wushuang asked.

Hearing this, Nanbei gave a wry smile. "With a Demon Fiend like you around, I no longer have a chance. Even if I got the Moon God Flower, I wouldn’t be able to keep it. I might as well give up."

"Giving up is probably the best choice for you. Otherwise, you’d only be wasting your energy!"

"Why?"

Nanbei asked, puzzled.

Ye Wushuang turned his head and smiled faintly. "Because Dii Qingxue is not only my senior martial sister, she is also my woman!"

Wh—what?

Upon hearing this, Nanbei froze, his face a mask of utter astonishment!

’Dii Qingxue, the Princess of the Grand Emperor Holy Country, is Ye Wushuang’s woman?’

’This has to be a joke, right?’

’If that’s true, then what’s the deal with this marriage contest?’

Nanbei couldn’t make sense of it. However, from Ye Wushuang’s tone, it didn’t seem like he was lying. ’There must be some other secrets involved,’ he thought.

At this thought, a wry smile appeared on Nanbei’s face. It turned out this was all just their wishful thinking. He suspected that the others on the Dragon List were probably still in the dark.

’I can’t imagine the looks on their faces if they were to find out!’

"So, should we find the entrance to the Moonfall Land first?" Nanbei asked again. Although he had given up, he thought helping Ye Wushuang might not be a bad idea. It would be a good way to annoy those other Celestial Prides.

"No rush. There are plenty of people around, and none of them seem to be in a hurry. Why should we be?"

Ye Wushuang’s powerful Divine Sense swept out, revealing many people standing in the woods beside the lake.

Ye Wushuang recognized some of them: the Dragon King, Zong Shuai, and Dongfang Wudi, who hadn’t appeared before. Besides them, Mo Wentian, Jing Hui, and their groups were also present.

These people were clearly aware of the anomaly here and had arrived early.

BOOM!

Suddenly, a roaring sound echoed through the night sky.

High above the Lost Mountain Range, a figure was sent flying toward the lake, pursued by a group of people.

A Rhombic Crystal Stone shimmered on each of their foreheads, giving them an otherworldly appearance!

They were the prodigies of the Original People Clan.

A youth among them with a Purple Rhombic Crystal Stone stepped out of the void, his long spear piercing through space as countless rays of Inscription light blossomed in the night sky.

BOOM!

In an instant, the long spear pierced the flying figure, hurtling down from the sky and pinning the body to the ground.

"I have no quarrel with you! Why are you killing me!"

The figure crashed to the ground, his body impaled by the long spear. Bright red blood gushed from his mouth as he stared resentfully at the Original People prodigy in the sky!

"It’s Yuan Ke, the ninth-ranked Celestial Pride on the Dragon List!"

"Gods, he was actually impaled and killed by a prodigy from the Original People Clan."

...

Watching the figure fall, the crowd surrounding the lake erupted in an uproar, crying out in shock. A Celestial Pride with a special constitution had been slain just like that.

’A prodigy of the Original People Clan... How terrifying!’

"Trash from the Grand Emperor. If I want to kill you, I kill you. Why ask so many questions?"

The Original People prodigy descended from the sky, stepped directly on Yuan Ke’s body, and crushed his head.

At once, the Dragon King and Dongfang Wudi frowned, their expressions turning grim!

"Insolent whelp!"

The Dragon King’s eyes turned cold as he strode toward the Original People prodigy, a powerful aura erupting from his body and surging forward.

The Original People prodigy’s expression darkened. Just as he was about to retaliate, an incomparably tyrannical pressure bore down on him as well.

SKID SKID SKID...

The Original People prodigy’s body stiffened, and he was forced to take several steps back.

"You can’t even match my aura. What right do you have to call the people of my Grand Emperor Holy Country trash? You’re not even as good as trash."

The Dragon King’s cold shout was utterly domineering!
