Chapter 339: Realm of the Red Eyed Moon (2/2)
”Should we accept her?”
”She doesn't seem quite as strong as those three. Would she even last in the secret realm?”
”But Princess Ling Xue was saved because of her, we should at least hear her out.”
”Don't forget, she took on four Glaive Guards. That requires a certain level of strength.”
They talked and talked before looking towards the ancestor.
”Lord Ancestor, what do you think?” they asked.
He was silent, sitting calmly in front of them all and after a moment, he sighed.
”I have been in the Human Continent for over a thousand years, split apart from my home here. Throughout that time, I had come across and made dealings with the Tao Feng. The one who leads them is a fearsome man who had seen through my diguise but let me go.”
”His cause is noble but his methods... they are sinful, heinous. I have no doubt that his disciples are the same. All of you know, you can tell that they are here with other intentions. Is she the same?”
He looked at Ming Yue and everyone looked as well. Suddenly, their eyes turned into a mix of red and black, and their gaze seemed to pierce her.
She beared with it, knowing that the outcome would be different.
After several moments, their eyes returned to their normal colors as they looked amongst each other.
”Then we shall help her”, they spoke in unison.
”Ling Xue, please bring our guest to a room and explain to her about the true situation”, said the ancestor.
”Yes, ancestor!”
She bowed and took Ming Yue away, quickly bringing her to one fo the rooms in the upper levels.
”What do you mean by true situation?” asked Ming Yue.
”I only told you of the process as it should be, that both keys are needed to open the secret realm. In truth the realm was already open and has been for the past month”, Ling Xue explained, ”This occurred after the Heaven's Wrath nearly came down with another calamity.”
”Suddenly, the secret realm opened and our keys had become obsolete. That is why I could bring it out of the clan grounds. However, the Mu Clan must've believed that they still had a purpose, hence the ambush on me.”
”Is that so?” Ming Yue thought back to the Glaive Guards, finding their fervor and enthusiasm a bit strange.
”Can you tell me more about the secret realm then?” she asked.
”The secret realm... It is known as the Realm of the Red Eyed Moon for the only thing in the skies was a crimson moon shaped like an eye. For everyone, their first entrance would begin by the eerie feeling that something was watching them. However, that moon is also the sole reason for the realm. By cultivating under its presence, our individual bloodline powers would grow to their greatest potential. It is extremely beneficial for out bodies and is one of the reasons why our two clans are one of the strongest.”
”Then how do you enter?”
Ling Xue took out a small map of the mountain range and pointed at a place between the two clans.
”This is the Yao Clan in the East and the Mu Clan in the West, the entrance to the realm is here in the center of it. You could just enter on your own but it is risky. If you are from neither clans, the Red Eyed Moon will bear its power upon you. Should you withstand it, you may come and go as you please. But if not, you will be sent out with your very soul damaged.”
”Then if I want to find the Tao Feng...”
”You must enter then. They are already inside, fighting for the third key. All three of them have managed to pass the test. If you are worrying about your two pets, they will not be tested on.”
Ming Yue thought carefully, forming a plan.
”Then I will go, I have to go.”
Trying to kill all three of them inside would be too difficult but if it was only one, she could do it. If things went right, she might be able to obtain the information she needed.
