The self-destruction of the Dark Moon Clan, while revealing the Silver Star Essence, also opened a new path of depletion for the sect in Chu Xinghe's eyes.
However, this explosion by the Dark Moon Clan shook the entire Blazing Sun Continent.
The first reaction from all sides upon receiving this news was, "Damn it, is this a joke?"
An entire mountain range of the Silver Star Mountain Range just vanished?
It's known that the Great Sage of the Dark Moon Clan loved universal celebrations, which wasn't a secret. At Feng Fei's wedding, the Great Sage almost performed a universal celebration on the spot.
He was killed in a joint effort back then, so no one really took it to heart.
But today, upon hearing that the entire Silver Star Mountain Range had disappeared... the big shots from all sides were filled with dread.
If everyone had reacted a bit slower back then and let the Great Sage explode on the spot, the consequences...
Regarding the incident at the Silver Star Mountain Range, everyone was puzzled a few days ago.
Because the Grand Sky Sect suddenly issued an announcement without any reason, saying they wanted to clear the Silver Star Mountain Range and advised everyone not to enter, claiming it was to avoid accidental injuries.In fact, this announcement was quite confusing to everyone...
Who in their right mind would go to such a remote place like the Silver Star Mountain Range?
Of course, a few well-informed sects had some understanding of the events that had occurred at the Silver Star Mountain Range before.
No one was fooled by the Cloud Soar Sect's little tricks behind the scenes.
The Grand Sky Sect hadn't acted before, partly because they were preoccupied with various matters, and partly because the Silver Star Ore was of no real value to them.
Some had speculated that once the Grand Sky Sect had the time, they would definitely deal a heavy blow to the Cloud Soar Sect.
But no one expected Chu Xinghe to go to Ice City, and he maintained his usual style—either not acting at all or shaking the world when he did.
This time, the Silver Star Mountain Range was leveled overnight, and the exact number of casualties in the Cloud Soar Sect remains unknown.
But aside from the ordinary disciples, two elders, including Xie Songlin, who were in the top hundred of the Heavenly Dao list, died on the spot, causing a sensation across the Blazing Sun Continent.
After all, these were two Martial Emperors.
Two Martial Emperors were blown up at once, and in such a humiliating way.
Even a dog would shake its head at this...
Under normal circumstances, even if the Cloud Soar Sect was weaker than the Grand Sky Sect, they would have caused a huge commotion.
But this time, the Cloud Soar Sect didn't even have the right to make a fuss.
What are you fussing about, Cloud Soar Sect?
The Grand Sky Sect released the memory crystal on the same day.
Xie Songlin personally told Ma Liang that their Cloud Soar Sect didn't want the Silver Star Mountain Range, which was repeatedly broadcast on the Grand Sky Mirror.
The Grand Sky Sect wanted to tell the world that they weren't bullies... they didn't destroy the Cloud Soar Sect's Silver Star Mountain Range; they destroyed their own.
Even though people weren't from the Cloud Soar Sect, they could imagine how bitter the Cloud Soar Sect felt...
Losing two Martial Emperors at once and having nowhere to complain, how painful must that be?
But everyone also sighed... Cloud Soar Sect, you were really blind to challenge Chu Xinghe. Now you know how terrifying Chu Xinghe is, right?
In the Cloud Soar Sect, Xing Yushen returned to the sect and chose to go into seclusion... Xing Yushen swore to the heavens that he would not emerge from seclusion until he reached the Martial God level, vowing to personally reclaim everything the Cloud Soar Sect lost today.
The sect elders tried to persuade him...
"Sect Master... there's no need... you're not going into seclusion, you're planning to bury yourself early..."
"Entering the Martial God level before coming out... Sect Master, you might as well say you'll never come out in this lifetime..."
"Is entering the Martial God level something you can just do?"
"Besides Gu Mingchao, there's no other Martial God on the Blazing Sun Continent, not even Cheng Xiaotian, who is said to be the closest to the Martial God level, has succeeded..."
"Sect Master, you're still quite a distance from Cheng Xiaotian... if you insist on rushing into the Martial God level, we might as well elect a new sect master for the Cloud Soar Sect..."
Xing Yushen was almost brought to tears by the elders' "persuasion"...
"Wasn't I just talking tough? Damn it, I can't talk tough in front of the Grand Sky Sect, and I can't talk tough at home either?"
In the end, Xing Yushen still went into seclusion, leaving all sect affairs temporarily to Great Elder Ling Su.
Ling Su, looking helpless, pondered over recent events with the Grand Sky Sect...
"Wasn't Chu Xinghe on a southern tour? Why did he suddenly run north?"
"Who runs a sect tour all over the place like this?"
Thinking it over, Ling Su suddenly thought of someone.
Wei Xin!
Wei Xin was suddenly noticed by Chu Xinghe in the south, and then sent to the Grand Sky Sect's inner sect, becoming a disciple of the Dark Moon Palace... Ling Su was initially overjoyed by this.
After all, it was a real infiltration into the Grand Sky Sect.
And Wei Xin didn't disappoint, immediately delivering the Wuxiang Heart Sutra to the Cloud Soar Sect... but instead of helping, it almost caused trouble for the Cloud Soar Sect.
Ling Su's initial thought was that Wei Xin must have been exposed.
After all, this was Chu Xinghe... was his reputation for being as cunning as a demon unfounded?
Chu Xinghe must have discovered Wei Xin's problem early on and used it to his advantage, sending Wei Xin into the Grand Sky Sect, and then feeding false information to the Cloud Soar Sect, with the Wuxiang Heart Sutra being a deliberate trap by the Grand Sky Sect.
So Ling Su immediately cut off all contact with Wei Xin... fearing that the Grand Sky Sect would use Wei Xin's situation to attack the Cloud Soar Sect.
But pondering why Chu Xinghe suddenly switched from a southern to a northern tour, Ling Su realized that Wei Xin's situation wasn't just about exposure...
Wei Xin must have defected... he must have sided with the Grand Sky Sect, and the Silver Star Mountain Range incident was definitely tipped off to Chu Xinghe by Wei Xin, which is why Chu Xinghe suddenly ran north from the south.
Wei Xin, you damn traitor.
The Cloud Soar Sect raised you for fifteen years... and you betrayed us like this!
What? You ask what the Cloud Soar Sect did for Wei Xin in those fifteen years?
Training you as a spy isn't training? Just say whether it was or wasn't.
Ling Su wished he could tear Wei Xin to pieces, even considering whether to publicly announce Wei Xin's status as a spy.
But after thinking it over, that wouldn't help at all... after all, Wei Xin had already defected... if it were made public, and the Grand Sky Sect used it to cause trouble for the Cloud Soar Sect, it would truly be a loss.
So Ling Su immediately ordered all traces of Wei Xin's connection to the Cloud Soar Sect to be erased, and dealt with everything Wei Xin knew about the Cloud Soar Sect, including withdrawing all spies from the Grand Sky Sect's industries, to prevent Wei Xin from continuing to betray the sect!
No chance for the Grand Sky Sect to catch the Cloud Soar Sect off guard!
After doing all this, Ling Su finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He also marveled at how terrifying Chu Xinghe was, to have outmaneuvered an old fox like him to such an extent.
In the Dark Moon Palace of the Grand Sky Sect...
Wei Xin lay on his back, staring at the ceiling in despair.
Since entering the Dark Moon Palace, Wei Xin's life had been more than just living in deep water and scorching fire...
Wei Xin lived in constant fear of death...
The Dark Moon Clan's various twisted ways of dying made Wei Xin wonder if he was already dead.
And recently, the sudden disappearance of the Dark Moon Clan plunged Wei Xin into even greater fear.
Wei Xin seriously suspected that the Dark Moon Clan was hiding on purpose, waiting to surprise him with death when he let his guard down!
But compared to the Dark Moon Clan's surprises, what truly terrified Wei Xin was that after he delivered the Wuxiang Heart Sutra to the Cloud Soar Sect, there was no response from them, and all his attempts to contact them were blocked!
Upon realizing this, Wei Xin's heart sank into despair.
Had the Cloud Soar Sect abandoned him?
As a spy, Wei Xin was filled with despair... but after a few seconds of despair, he suddenly realized that he felt a sense of relief?
Since entering the Dark Moon Palace, although Wei Xin felt he was living in deep water and scorching fire, he also experienced a joy he had never felt before.
This joy was called sincerity.
The senior brothers and sisters of the Dark Moon Palace, despite scaring him with death in various ways, were very sincere with him, and the Great Sage was true to his word.
Recently, the Great Sage even personally selected a few techniques for him and improved them, despite Wei Xin's mediocre talent.
But with the Great Sage's personally improved techniques, Wei Xin found his cultivation level advancing rapidly.
As a spy, Wei Xin had never experienced such treatment in the Cloud Soar Sect.
Wei Xin felt he was being treated as a person for the first time, truly treated as a disciple for the first time.
Looking at the ceiling, Wei Xin made a decision in an instant.
The Cloud Soar Sect abandoned him, right?
Cloud Soar Sect, don't blame me, Wei Xin, for being ungrateful!
Since you abandoned me, from today on, I, Wei Xin, will stay in the Grand Sky Sect... but I, Wei Xin, will have nothing to do with you, Cloud Soar Sect, anymore.
From today on, I am a disciple of the Grand Sky Sect...
I will work tirelessly to build the Grand Sky Sect!
Senior Brother Xinghe gave me, Wei Xin, a chance to start anew, and I, Wei Xin, will live anew, live for myself!
I, Wei Xin, will live a life worth living! I must not disappoint Senior Brother Xinghe!
Having figured it all out, Wei Xin stepped out of his room, and for some reason, he suddenly felt that the sky of the Dark Moon Palace wasn't so gloomy anymore.
Wei Xin knew he had done some things against the Grand Sky Sect in the past, but given his low status, he hadn't caused any substantial harm. Wei Xin swore to the heavens that from this moment on, he would make amends to the Grand Sky Sect...
From today on, he would be a pure person, someone who helps Senior Brother Xinghe build the sect.
Wei Xin raised his fist to the sky and shouted in anger!
God Bless Grand Sky Sect!
