Chapter 26: The Wolf King Appears, and the Old Turtle Strikes with Deadly Intent
Long ago, giant hands would frequently descend from the sky to capture living beings on the ground.
In response, the living beings fought back desperately, but to no avail.
One day, someone discovered a powerful force.
Although the source of this force was not explained in the drawing, it recorded how all living beings used this force to defeat the giant hands in the sky.
At first, all living beings believed that this power was a gift from heaven.
But later, they realized that this power was even more dangerous than the giant hands in the sky.
The drawing then abruptly ended here.
Facing such a situation, Lin Hu hurriedly said, “Do you have any other patterns?”
“Quickly take them out. What happened afterwards?”
“I’m sorry,” Chen Changsheng spread his hands and said, “I’ve already taken out all the patterns on my body.”
“We only managed to gather one-tenth of the complete picture. To fully understand the story, we need to collect patterns from eighteen Bronze Ancient Palaces.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Hu looked at the last segment of the sky painting.
Even though the whole picture was fragmented and mostly empty, the final part was relatively complete.
That power was sealed and suppressed beneath the eighteen Bronze Ancient Palaces.
These eighteen Bronze Ancient Palaces were entrusted to eighteen races for guarding, two of which were the human clan and the demon clan.
As for the other sixteen races, their parts had long since vanished due to the passage of time.
After understanding the cause and effect, Lin Hu and Hu Zhan silently blocked all of Chen Changsheng’s escape routes.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng clicked his tongue and said,
“Considering I helped you solve your doubts, can’t you let me finish speaking before acting?”
Hearing this, Hu Zhan smiled, “Your insight makes us feel fear!”
“Such talent would be treasured wherever it is placed.”
“But I can’t understand why you came to participate in the marriage selection competition in the Night Moon Nation at this time.”
“Don’t try to deceive me with flattery about admiring Prince Wanyan.”
“I have a purpose for coming to your Night Moon Nation. Otherwise, why would I travel so far?”
“But before explaining my purpose, I want to tell you the story I know.”
“The number of cultivators in the Night Moon Nation suddenly increased, causing the Great Qian Dynasty to lose many battles.”
“This unusual situation puzzled me along the way, but after arriving in the Night Moon Nation, I learned something else: there was a massive purge within the Night Moon Nation.”
“I am equally puzzled by this, because I cannot comprehend why the strength of the Night Moon Nation increased despite the purge.”
“At the same time, I also learned that there might be a traitor in the Great Qian Dynasty.”
“All the clues seem related, yet they lack a key element.”
“Up until now, I finally found this key.”
With that, Chen Changsheng arrived once again in front of the Bronze Ancient Palace.
“The eighteen Bronze Ancient Palaces depict the same story, but due to the passage of time, they have become severely damaged.”
“A single Bronze Ancient Palace cannot provide enough information to form a complete picture.”
“Therefore, I suspect that the traitor from the Great Qian Dynasty brought this secret to the Night Moon Nation.”
“And you must have noticed, these Bronze Ancient Palaces were deliberately damaged.”
“The damaged parts are precisely where the living beings used the unlucky force.”
Upon hearing this, Hu Zhan immediately felt a bad premonition.
“What do you want to say?”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng sat down leisurely and said,
“I want to say, don’t think about killing me, because it’s not your turn to do so.”
“From your reaction, you don’t know the secret behind the sudden increase in strength in the Night Moon Nation.”
“If I’m not mistaken, you two are here to explore this secret.”
“Now that you know the secret, do you think the person who deliberately damaged the Bronze Ancient Palaces will let you off?”
“Very well!”
“Such a talented young man is rare in the world. Truly impressive!”
As soon as Chen Changsheng finished speaking, the Wolf King and the Old Turtle emerged from not far away.
Seeing the Wolf King appear, Hu Zhan and Lin Hu became anxious.
Hu Zhan immediately stepped forward and said with a bow, “Reporting to the Wolf King, this person is a spy. We were planning to present him to the Wolf King.”
Facing Hu Zhan’s words, the Wolf King sneered and said,
“You foxes always play tricks. When you incited the tiger clan to pursue Yue’er, you wanted to use her to uncover the secrets behind her.”
“Now that you know the secrets, are you still unsatisfied?”
Hearing this, cold sweat immediately trickled down Hu Zhan’s forehead.
The Wolf King continued, “You two old fossils from the fox and tiger clans thought that by joining forces, you could make me reveal the secret.”
“That idea is too naive.”
As he spoke, the Wolf King waved his hand, and two bloody heads were thrown in front of Hu Zhan.
Seeing this, Hu Zhan and Lin Hu almost fainted from fright.
They never imagined that the Wolf King’s strength would be so formidable.
“You are the future of the demon clan. If you abandon the dark side and turn to the light now, I can spare your lives and grant you opportunities.”
Facing the olive branch extended by the Wolf King, Hu Zhan and Lin Hu did not hesitate and chose to submit.
After dealing with Lin Hu and Hu Zhan, the Wolf King turned his gaze toward Chen Changsheng.
“Chen Changsheng, I appreciate your talents. If you reveal the mastermind behind the scenes and submit to me, I will spare your life.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng smiled, “Wolf King, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. The person behind me is someone you’d never guess.”
“Additionally, as far as I know, obtaining that power seems to require a bl**d sacrifice.”
“Wolf King hasn’t killed me yet, probably because you don’t want to waste it.”
Upon hearing this, the Wolf King narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “You indeed know a lot.”
“Since that’s the case, I’ll let you have your wish.”
With that, the Wolf King waved his hand and directly took Chen Changsheng to another place.
A huge bl**d pool appeared in front of Chen Changsheng, surrounded by bones.
Bang!
The corpses of two divine transformation realm powerhouses from the fox and tiger clans were thrown into the pool.
The bl**d pool instantly began to boil. In no time, a pitch-black dan pill condensed.
Looking at the dan pill in his hand, the Wolf King swallowed it and frowned.
“Without Yue’er’s bl**d as a catalyst, this bl**d pool may not help me break through to the divine transformation realm.”
“Old Turtle, is there really no other way?”
Hearing this, the Old Turtle moved beside the Wolf King and said, “My lord Wolf King, I do have another method.”
“What method?”
“Puff!”
A hand instantly pierced through the Wolf King’s chest, and at the same time, a large amount of black runes crawled from the Old Turtle’s hand onto the Wolf King’s body.
“Eating you will allow me to break through to the divine realm.”
Looking at the Old Turtle in front of him, the Wolf King’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
