Chapter 557: The Elder Yue Who Came Down From the Moon

The Clan Leader himself has arrived!

Upon hearing this, everyone stared at the stooped figure standing before the members of the Lost Clan!

No wonder his aura was so utterly terrifying. It was the Clan Leader of the Lost Clan!

Everyone’s hearts sank. Legend had it that the Lost Clan guarded Moonfall Land and would kill any who approached without mercy.

That was why, over the years, all the treasure hunters who came here had met their end.

Now that the Clan Leader of the Lost Clan had appeared, what chance did they have of obtaining the Supreme Holy Medicine, the Moon God Flower?

The Dragon King and Dongfang Wudi frowned...

Even Ye Wushuang’s brows furrowed deeply. Facing an expert countless times more terrifying than someone at the Divine Silence Level, he had no confidence he could obtain the Moon God Flower.

Even with his powerful Divine Sense, he couldn’t determine the depth of the Lost Clan’s leader’s cultivation.

He also couldn’t probe the cultivation of the figure sitting atop the Flying Heaven Winged Tiger.

It made him realize just how far he was from being a truly top-tier expert.

"I wonder if the Old Saint Master of the Holy Celestial Ruins is well!"

The stooped figure spoke, his voice hoarse. It sounded like several voices mixed into one, giving it an unreal quality.

"Thank you for your concern, Elder Yue. The Old Master is in excellent health and can still put up a fight," the figure on the Flying Heaven Winged Tiger replied.

"Elder Yue, I won’t beat around the bush. The world is in upheaval, and as per our agreement, it is time for my Holy Celestial Ruins to retrieve that... item from Moonfall Land," the figure from the Holy Celestial Ruins said.

"Of course. After so many years of guardianship and tempering... it is time."

The Lost Clan’s leader, Elder Yue, nodded. "However," he added, "opening Moonfall Land requires the Time Pendant. Please wait a moment, Saint Master."

As he spoke, Elder Yue suddenly turned in a certain direction.

It was precisely where Ye Wushuang was located.

The colossal Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc floated in the firmament, looking majestic and powerful under the moonlight as it bathed in a silvery Divine Light.

Everyone followed Elder Yue’s gaze, their eyes landing in unison on the back of the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc.

A figure in purple stood with his hands clasped behind his back. His hair was held in place by a crown, and his gaze was calm and profound. He exuded an aura that seemed to look down upon the world, like a young Emperor!

The pupils of the crowd contracted. Ignoring Nanbei and Xiaoxiao beside him, they gasped, "The God of Slaughter!"

It was the God of Slaughter who had slaughtered countless geniuses of the Celestial Dome!

Everyone recognized Ye Wushuang, the memory of his ruthlessness in Lost Village still fresh in their minds.

The Saint Master of the Holy Celestial Ruins watched Ye Wushuang, his eyes narrowing for a moment before he quickly regained his composure.

Then, his gaze shifted to Xiaoxiao and the pendant hanging around her neck.

"It’s the Time Pendant!"

Before long, the crowd also spotted the dazzling, brilliant pendant flashing with silver light around Xiaoxiao’s neck.

The geniuses from the Celestial Dome had mentioned the Time Pendant before, and those who paid close attention had remembered it.

With Elder Yue’s reminder, everyone made the connection.

"Since that’s the Time Pendant, hand it over."

From the side of the Original People, the Purple Rhombic Crystal Stone on Heimu Ye’s brow blazed. He took a step forward, reaching a hand toward Xiaoxiao on the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc.

"It seems you haven’t learned your lesson!"

Ye Wushuang’s eyes turned sharp. This was the same genius from the Original People who had called him cruel back in Lost Village!

’After being mocked into silence by me, he still dares to provoke me again. I have to say, he’s got some nerve.’

"Get lost!"

Ye Wushuang took a step forward. A hand shot out from behind his back and slapped down fiercely, forming a blood-red Heavenly Concealing Hand.

The Heavenly Concealing Hand obliterated Heimu Ye’s outstretched palm and slammed into his body.

Heimu Ye’s expression changed drastically. The Purple Rhombic Crystal Stone on his brow shot out a burst of purple light, forming a shield of purple ice crystals to block Ye Wushuang’s Heavenly Concealing Hand.

"I told you to get lost, so get lost!"

Ye Wushuang roared domineeringly.

SHING!

A brilliant Sword Light streaked by like a shooting star, flashing into existence for a mere instant before disappearing.

Before the crowd could even get a clear look, CRACK! The shield of purple ice crystals shattered.

Heimu Ye was sent flying, a gruesome, bloody gash appearing on his chest. Blood sprayed out, carried away into the void by the fierce wind.

"Such a fast sword!"

The crowd’s eyes narrowed. That Sword Light was simply too fast!

It had previously annihilated the geniuses of the Celestial Dome, and now, Heimu Ye, a genius of the Original People Clan, had been defeated by it as well.

’What kind of Swordsmanship is this? I’ve never heard of a blade so fast!’

"Bastard!"

Heimu Ye crashed to the ground, his face pale as he let out a furious roar.

"That slash was your lesson. If you dare utter another word, you will bleed out right here, today."

Ye Wushuang pointed his Ancient Sword at Heimu Ye and spoke with absolute dominance, making it clear that if Heimu Ye said one more word, the sword in his hand would taste his blood.

The onlookers were left speechless. So domineering!

BOOM!

With ugly expressions, Heiyun Xingze and Heixuan Ze shot through the air, charging toward Ye Wushuang with killing intent.

But they had only taken a few steps before the Dragon King and Dongfang Wudi blocked their path, striking out with their palms. "Get back!"

The same domineering command erupted from both of them, forcing Heiyun Xingze and Heixuan Ze back to Heimu Ye’s side.

"Very well. I’ll let you off for now!"

Heiyun Xingze stared coldly at Ye Wushuang and snorted.

"You’re lucky they stopped you. Otherwise, the three of you would already be corpses."

Ye Wushuang replied indifferently, his eyes shooting out two beams of murderous light that left no doubt as to the truth of his words.

SHIING!

The Ancient Sword returned to its sheath, its hum echoing with the soul-stirring sound of slaughter.

’What a domineering Ye Wushuang!’

The crowd’s eyes lit up. He was direct, straightforward, and utterly decisive in his killing intent.

Heimu Ye, in contrast, was in a sorry state. He stared at Ye Wushuang with utter frustration as the Rhombic Crystal Stone on his brow burst with purple light, enveloping the wound on his chest.

The wound was then seen healing at an incredible, unbelievable rate!

Elder Yue, the Clan Leader of the Lost Clan, and the Saint Master of the Holy Celestial Ruins said nothing, their gazes fixed on Ye Wushuang.

"Ye Wushuang, since you have the Time Pendant, take it out and open Moonfall Land," a man named Jing Hui shouted coldly from the crowd.

"Who the hell do you think you are to order me around? The Time Pendant is in my hands. I’ll open it if I feel like it. If I don’t, what are you going to do about it?"

Ye Wushuang shot Jing Hui a disgusted look, his eyes flashing with disdain.

’A coward. All pride and arrogance, but not an ounce of sharpness or spirit. Compared to rivals like the Dragon King and Dongfang Wudi, he isn’t even qualified to be my opponent!’

"You..."

Jing Hui’s face turned ugly. He pointed at Ye Wushuang, so enraged he was speechless.

"Young friend, the passage to Moonfall Land can only be maintained for a brief fifteen minutes. If we don’t open it now and miss our window, I’m afraid we will have to wait quite some time for another chance."

Elder Yue said to Ye Wushuang, then turned his gaze to Xiaoxiao.

"Besides, there are things inside that are meant to appear at this time. Those things are very important... to you, and to the little girl beside you."

Suddenly, Elder Yue’s voice resounded directly in Ye Wushuang’s mind.

’Very important things...’
