She discovered that on the ancient walls, there was a male with
an unclear appearance standing in the sky with millions of
Blood Moon Sect members bowing below him.
That person… should be the Blood Moon Sect Holy Lord…
It’s a pity I can’t see his face clearly, Ye Qingtang thought in
her heart.
She had heard about legends regarding the Blood Moon Holy
Lord. Yet, after all, they were not from the same generation,
and she never had the fate to see his true appearance.
The Blood Moon Holy Lord had a mysterious background. No
one knew where he came from, and nor was anyone clear of
how long he had lived for.
It was said that when the martial culture just burgeoned on this
mainland, it was ruled by a brutal dynasty.
Afterward, the Blood Moon Holy Lord came to this land and
founded the Blood Moon Sect himself, wiping out that dynasty
with a destructive force.
Afterward, the martial culture on this mainland welcomed a
peak while the Blood Moon Sect was all the more supported by
everyone.
Yet, something happened afterward, and the Blood Moon Sect
became the first evil sect and was eventually annihilated by the
combined forces of the powerful sects on the entire mainland.
Presently, the times of the Blood Moon Sect’s rule had passed,
and the dynasties and generation had changed. Hundreds of
sects contended for power, welcoming the era of the sects that
persisted to this day.
As Ye Qingtang was in deep thought, the heavy-sounding
steps outside the hall pulled Ye Qingtang back into reality.
Very quickly, an elderly whose hair and mustache were white
walked into the main hall. Apart from Blood Demon and Soul
Severing Troll, there were a few other creatures with an
imposing martial aura following behind the elderly.
One of them was completely wrapped in the blood-colored
long robe. Not an inch of his skin was exposed, and only a pair
of frighteningly-ghastly eyes could be seen.
There was another girl who seemed to be rather young. Her
entire body was crystal clear and exuded an inexplicable
demonic air.
The others appeared to be middle-aged and either had swords
or knives in their hands.
The martial aura of these people was as deep and immeasurable
as oceans, and it resembled that of Blood Demon and Soul
Severing Troll.
Ye Qingtang thought that these people were probably the
Branch Masters of this division.
The Branch Masters stood on two sides and did not say
anything.
A long while later, the elderly in the lead spoke to Ye Qingtang
with cupped fists. “I heard from two Branch Masters that the
Guardian has arrived…”
The Blood Moon Elder could not help but worry as he saw that
the Division Head did not believe fully.
“Haha… If it truly is the arrival of a Guardian, it is the honor of
my division… However…” The elderly laughed coldly as he
stared at the blood-colored crescent on Ye Qingtang’s glabella.
“Oh? You’re doubting me.” A glint flashed across Ye
Qingtang’s eyes.
“I don’t dare to. I’m not doubting you. I just wish to ascertain
your identity… After all, the lesson from a thousand years ago
is still vividly in our minds. Guardian does not wish for us to
believe others easily.” The elderly smiled.
“Alright,” Ye Qingtang said and nodded. “How do you intend
to prove my identity?”
“Guardian, your blood-colored crescent and Blood Moon Aura
are indeed solely possessed by Guardians… However, some
sects once used a special method to forge the Blood Moon Aura
a thousand years ago… And because of this method, they
infiltrated and hid in our Blood Moon Sect.” The elderly
sneered.
An inauspicious feeling arose within Ye Qingtang, though she
continued listening to the elderly without saying anything.
“Afterward, the Sect Master obtained the Demonic Water and
placed it in every division. As long as non-Blood Moon Sect
members came into contact with the Demonic Water, the
forged Blood Moon Aura on their bodies would disappear
immediately…” The elderly scanned Ye Qingtang quietly.
