Chapter 24: Encountering the Bronze Ancient Temple Again, Night Moon Country Forbidden Ground
Following Hu Zhan's footsteps, the group walked for a long time and finally arrived before a valley.
Feeling the countless powerful auras around him, Chen Changsheng asked doubtfully.
"Brother Hu, what is this place?"
"This is the Forbidden Ground of our Night Moon Country, and also the trial ground for the Son-in-Law Selection Assembly."
"Deep within this Forbidden Ground, there is an Other Shore Flower. Whoever can pluck it will be qualified to marry Wanyan Princess."
"So that's how it is!"
"Then why don't I see the other competing Demon Clan members?"
Hearing this, Hu Zhan said, "They have already gone in. I specifically came to pick up Brother Chen, which is why I haven't gone in yet."
"Oh dear!"
"So it was because of me that I delayed Brother Hu's time. This truly makes me feel extremely ashamed."
"Sigh!"
"Brother Chen, you don't need to blame yourself. We hit it off immediately, and this small matter is nothing."
"Moreover, those who went in earlier may not necessarily have an advantage. Whoever gets the Other Shore Flower is the one who wins."
Saying this, Hu Zhan led Chen Changsheng into the Forbidden Ground of the Night Moon Country.
Passing through the long valley, Chen Changsheng and Hu Zhan arrived in a dense forest filled with towering ancient trees.
The humid and hot temperature and the floating miasma around them seemed to be speaking of the danger here.
Facing such a situation, Hu Zhan glanced at Chen Changsheng lightly, but did not offer any reminder.
The miasma in the Forbidden Ground had a huge impact on Cultivators.
Even Golden Core Realm Cultivators could not avoid it.
The reason he could stand here unharmed was entirely due to his Demon Clan Physique.
If a Human Clan member came here, they would probably die silently within half a day.
"Tsk tsk!"
"As expected of the Forbidden Ground of the Night Moon Country, it is indeed extremely dangerous."
Observing the surrounding environment, Chen Changsheng casually praised it, then took out two pills from his bosom.
He took one himself and put one into Little White Wolf's mouth.
"Brother Hu, the miasma here is definitely not ordinary. I have a specially made antidote pill here. Would you like one?"
Saying this, Chen Changsheng took out another pill and handed it over.
Seeing that Chen Changsheng had seen through the danger of the miasma here, Hu Zhan immediately said annoyedly.
"Brother Chen, if you hadn't mentioned it, I almost forgot."
"The miasma here is extremely potent, even Golden Core Cultivators cannot avoid it."
"However, my fox Physique is strong, so there's no need to waste Brother Chen's pill."
After speaking, Hu Zhan smiled and pushed Chen Changsheng's pill back.
Eating something of unknown origin casually could be fatal.
"Oh right, Brother Chen, the miasma here should be unique to the Night Moon Country Forbidden Ground. How did Brother Chen figure that out?"
"Could it be that Brother Chen has been to the Forbidden Ground of the Night Moon Country before?"
Facing Hu Zhan's words, Chen Changsheng smiled slightly and said.
"Naturally, I have never been to the Forbidden Ground of the Night Moon Country."
"But I once saw similar records in an unnamed ancient book. That ancient book recorded some scenery from different places."
"One of them was quite similar to this place."
"So that's how it is, that's really interesting."
"As far as I know, for the past five hundred years, no outsider has ever entered the Night Moon Country Forbidden Ground."
"Who exactly wrote that ancient book that Brother Chen saw?"
"I don't know about that. When I found that ancient book, it was already almost completely rotten."
"Perhaps this book was written five hundred years ago, who knows."
"That makes sense. Let's hurry and set off."
"Lin Hu and the others have been in for a while now."
Saying this, Hu Zhan waved his right hand, and a Nascent Soul Realm Puppet appeared in front to lead the way.
Looking at that lifeless Puppet, a trace of emotion flashed in Chen Changsheng's eyes.
...
Deep within the Forbidden Ground.
A bald man was sitting cross-legged, and beneath him was an extremely dark pool.
The water in the pool was incredibly thick, and it occasionally emitted a fishy and foul smell.
"Yixiu, your Heartless Sutra won't be able to resist for much longer."
Hearing the sound, the bald man slowly opened his eyes.
"Wolf King, allowing the Demon Clan to borrow such un auspiciousness power will only bring about the annihilation of the Demon Clan in the end."
"It's still not too late to turn back now."
Hearing this, Wolf King sneered, "Turn back?"
"Why should I turn back? Power is just power, there is no distinction between good and evil."
"If I don't rely on this power, how can I destroy the Great Qian Dynasty?"
"Although our races are different, I greatly admire you. As long as you are willing to abandon the darkness and embrace the light, I am willing to help you break through to the Transformation Realm."
Facing the conditions offered by Wolf King, Yixiu shook his head, then continued to close his eyes.
Seeing that Yixiu still refused to compromise, Wolf King didn't mind either.
He had spent three hundred years to tear open a crack in the Forbidden Ground's Seal.
Although it was just a crack, the power that overflowed from it exceeded his imagination.
It was precisely with the help of this power that the number of Cultivators in the Night Moon Country could more than double.
However, unfortunately, this news was leaked out for some unknown reason.
The two old fellows from Tianfo Temple and Linglong Sect actually didn't hesitate to risk their lives to reseal this crack.
Although he had tried his best to stop them, they still managed to fill up most of the crack.
Now that Yixiu was suppressing this last gap, he absolutely dared not act rashly.
Once Yixiu fought with his life, this last gap would very likely be sealed, and then it wouldn't be so easy for him to break the Seal again.
Thinking of this, Wolf King's face immediately darkened.
"Turtle Elder, have you still not found out the origin of that Human Clan member?"
"Reporting to Wolf King, there is no record of him within the Great Qian Dynasty."
"Perhaps he is just using an alias."
"Hmph!"
"Let him be arrogant for a few more days. Once the blood sacrifice is complete, no one in The World will be able to stop me."
"At that time, whether it's the Human Clan or the Demon Clan, everyone will have to bow down to me and pledge allegiance."
Listening to Wolf King's lofty words, Turtle Elder quietly lowered his head, and no one knew what he was thinking at this moment.
...
Forbidden Ground, Bronze Ancient Temple.
Chen Changsheng and the others also encountered Lin Hu again.
When two sides who didn't see eye to eye met, the atmosphere naturally became tense.
However, Chen Changsheng ignored the confrontation between Lin Hu and Hu Zhan, and instead began to study the Bronze Ancient Temple in front of him.
"Gentlemen, I think instead of thinking about how to kill each other, you should take a good look at these ruins."
Hearing this, Lin Hu said unhappily, "Stop being mysterious here. There's a road to heaven, but you don't take it; there's no gate to Hell, but you barge in."
"Today is the time of your death, Chen Changsheng."
Lin Hu's words severely interrupted Chen Changsheng's thoughts. Chen Changsheng turned his head impatiently and said.
"I know you want to kill me, but can you wait a bit before killing?"
"Didn't you see I'm studying something?"
After speaking, Chen Changsheng turned his head back again and continued to study the patterns and text on the Bronze Ancient Temple.
Lin Hu: "......"
What do you mean 'wait a bit before killing'? I'm going to kill you now, can you be serious?
