Chapter 942: Attraction (1/2)

The description of the Moonstar battle technique was very detailed, and Mu Nichang was intrigued.

Doro’s eyes were fervent as well. “Elder, is this real?”

Elder Meiya replied, “There are multiple records about Gu Yue, and Moonstar was truly a battle technique that intimidated an era. However, I’m not sure if these ruins are actually related to Gu Yue.”

Mu Nichang’s expression grew grim. “Who released the information about Gu Yue’s ruins?”

Elder Meiya shook her head. “I don’t know.”

“Master, do you think that this is fake?” Doro asked.

Mu Nichang’s eyes gleamed. “We still have to go even if it is fake. This news must have already spread throughout the entire Outerverse, and countless experts will head over there. Even if it’s fake, we’ll just have been tricked. Nobody has the ability to defeat all of the Outerverse’s experts.”

Elder Meiya agreed. “That’s right, you have to go. If you can obtain Moonstar, then Evenground Palace’s position would drastically improve.”

Mu Nichang glanced at Elder Meiya. The Palace Master was not as optimistic as the elder. Even if the Moonstar battle technique was actually in those ruins, she might not be the one to ultimately obtain the technique. After all, there was still Lu Yin. Mu Nichang simply wanted to go and take a look to see if there were any other battle techniques within the ruins.

Gu Yue was a legendary figure whose power level had exceeded a million. Obtaining any of his belongings would greatly improve Mu Nichang’s strength.

“Let’s go. Other people are most likely already on their way.” Mu Nichang stood up.

…

The head of the Suna Weave’s Moke Sword Sect, Ke Yun, stood up and tore through the void to enter his spacecraft. He was also heading towards Gu Yue’s ruins. People at his level were not stupid, and most of them were aware that this information was most likely false. However, they would make this trip even if everything was fake—they would bring forth their full effort for a chance to obtain anything related to Gu Yue, even if those chances were miniscule.

…

Gui Wuzong from the Shadowsword Sect, an elder from the Umbral Butterfly Tribe, Qiong Shanhai and Zhu Jie of Millions City: anyone who was confident in their strength made their way towards the ruins.

He didn’t believe that someone could find that place through sheer coincidence. Moreover, he had even dispatched five Hunters to stand guard over the ruins, and one of them should have been able to inform Zi Tianchuan even if an Enlighter had stumbled across that place. However, he had not received any news, which meant that the intruder had been well prepared.

Zi Tianchuan suddenly thought of something. He immediately went to his secret room and stared at the ground in front of the room. Although no one else would be able to detect anything different, he could see that someone had recently entered the hidden room.

Zi Tianchuan clenched his fists, and many people flashed through his mind. Then, he finally switched on his gadget. “Zi Fang, come to the ancestral home.”

Zi Fang soon arrived, and he forced himself to be calm when he saw the fury in Zi Tianchuan’s eyes. He bowed. “Father, you called?”

Zi Tianchuan glared at Zi Fang with rage in his eyes. “Why did you go into the secret room?”

Zi Fang asked, “What secret room?”

Zi Tianchuan was furious, and he shattered a table. ”How dare you lie to me! Why did you go into the secret room? Who asked you to go in there, and who did you tell? Answer me!”

Zi Fang intended to deny everything to the very end, but Zi Tianchuan’s next words left the younger man terrified. “If you refuse to admit it, then I’ll strike your name from the family records. Don’t think that you will definitely become the Zi family patriarch just because you are my only son.”

Zi Fang’s body turned cold. “Father, why are you accusing me?”

Zi Fang lowered his head and considered many things.

Zi Tianchuan sighed. “That secret room contains the greatest secret of our Zi family. If anyone else knows about it, it could create terrible trouble for our family.”

“Gods' Origin isn’t the Neohuman Alliance,” Zi Fang refuted softly.

Zi Tianchuan furiously retorted, “‘But they are still a major force that can compete with the Hall of Honor! The Hall of Honor controls both the Innerverse and Outerverse. Thus, telling the Hall of Honor would be the same as making the Zi family their enemy.”

“I didn’t tell the Hall of Honor. I only told Lu Yin,” Zi Fang immediately defended himself, but his heart fell the moment he finished speaking.

Zi Tianchuan closed his eyes. “So it really was Lu Yin.”

Zi Fang’s face went pale. He had not wanted to say anything, but Zi Tianchuan had threatened him with preventing him from becoming the next patriarch. Zi Fang’s only hope now was Lu Yin. However, the Zi family heir no longer knew how he would be able to face Lu Yin.

Zi Tianchuan felt exhausted. “Aside from Lu Yin, who else could force you to listen to them? What did he promise you?”

Zi Fang stayed quiet.
