Chapter 338: The Yao Clan (1/2)

The clansmen spun even quicker, his eyes glancing about wildly as he pointed his guandao which ever way he looked. All he could see was darkness, a fog so thick he could barely see himself.

”Damn it! Eye of Verity!”

As he shouted out, his third eye glowed as a white ring emerged from within it. The ring expanded and began to illuminate the area. It's light spread out and began to disperse the black fog, destroying it.

Even then, all he saw was and endless field of fog. No matter where he went, it was nothing but that.

Then his third eye spotted something, a flicker of light, what seemed to be a crack in the fog. Relief washed over him as he ran towards it only for that flickering light to shoot forward and pierce his third eye and destroy it.

It was the Pearlstone Dagger, empowered by Ming Yue. It flew three times its normal speed, too quick for the clansmen to react.*

”Agh, ugh..”

He could not even utter words before collapsing to the ground, dying without knowing who killed him.

Then the black fog dispersed completely, revealing Ming Yue standing in front of him. She walked forward and ripped the dagger out, cleaning it with her sleeve before putting it away.

Hei Yue suddenly came up to her, asking for a compliment or reward to which she gave.

While scratching his chin, Ling Xue emerged from her hiding spot, just behind a few rocks, and looked at Ming Yue.

Her aura retracted but her jade flute was still readied in her hands.

”Who are you? Why did you help me?” she asked.

Ming Yue looked at her.

”Do you not remember me? Maple Root City...”

”You?!”

Ling Xue's eyes widened, her aura began to rise up as she placed the flute on her mouth.

Although it has been some years, she could not forget Ming Yue and her friend, Xuan Yin. Those two had ruined her ancestor's plans. And now, she was here!

”Wait, I just saved you, do you think I would do that just to kill you?”

Ming Yue put her hand forward, stopping Ling Xue from moving.

The woman stared at her, before putting her flute away.

”Then tell me, why are you here? Is it about the secret realm between us and the Mu Clan?”

”Not exactly, I'm looking for someone, three people to be exact”, Ming Yue explained.

”The Tao Feng, is it?

She nodded, ”Yes, those three, I need information from them.”

”Mm, let's go to the Yao Clan first, there is a lot to talk about.”

Ling Xue started walking, leading Ming Yue and the others back to the Yao Clan territory. Before going, she went to all of the Mu Clansmen and gouged out their third eye, placing them inside a small bag and putting it away.

”Those three that you speak of, they came to the clan days ago. In their words, they said that they were here to help us take control over the secret realm. However, many of us can tell that they have something else planned. The seniors all beleive that they are searching for one of the treasures in there.”

With what Ling Xue revealed, Ming Yue began to ponder what exactly these Tao Feng disciples were looking for.

”Do you have any idea what it could be?” she asked.
