Chapter 415 - No Tracks, No Trails (1/2)

Gu Hongzi was still in shock. Little did he know that Zhong Yue could only break the seals away because Xin Huo that told him what to do.

Despite the Xiao Mang grand ancestor being a strong demon god, he was still no match to Xin Huo in terms of depth and breadth of knowledge. Clearing the seals he had placed was no more difficult than clearing Lord Bai's seals.

Zhong Yue turned into the image of Feng Wuji and strode down. The sides of the tunnel were also engraved with many seals, but these seals were not meant for the intruders. The whole mountain body was a consolidated seal that blockaded every path to prevent the moon god from escaping!

The Xiao Mang grand ancestor had indeed poured incredible efforts to devour and claim the powers of this yet-to-form innate god!

"Senior Martial Brother Gu Hongzi, there is one thing I need to tell you: The Xiao Mang grand ancestor's mortal body underground is strong ... really strong."

Zhong Yue transmitted his voice to Gu Hongzi and said, "We cannot let our guards down, we have to leave immediately after taking that lady away. Otherwise, if the Xiao Mang grand ancestor's spirit awakens and casts his mortal body, we will never be able to leave here anymore!"

However, Gu Hongzi answered calmly, "There is no need for that. Just a godly spirit, without his people worshipping him, how strong can he be? My Yuan Shen has also coalesced with a godly spirit, as long as he doesn't have his people worshipping him, I have no fear of him."

"This Xiao Mang grand ancestor is the one who dug the moon and stole the moon core."

Zhong Yue warned, "The moon spirit is on the brink of turning into an innate god, but he has imprisoned her beside his mortal body. This time, what I'm going to steal is this moon god."

Gu Hongzi's heart skipped a beat, and a cold chill traveled down his spine. Dug the moon, stole the moon core and imprisoned the moon god; such means were nothing the true gods could have done, let alone him!

Zhong Yue then said, "The Xiao Mang grand ancestor isn't dead yet, he is utilizing the innate god's essence to nourish and preserve his mortal body. The innate gods have endless time to live. Their lives end when the heaven and earth end. He is using the moon god's essence to preserve his mortal body from dying. While his spirit is in the moon, taking the moon god's place and receive the worship of the livings. I'm guessing that he is trying to reverse his life form from the postnatal to innate, turning himself into an innate demon god!"

Gu Hongzi sucked in a deep breath of cold air, and he nodded heavily. He then suddenly sighed and said, "Junior Martial Brother Zhong, are you always so … so…"

He mulled and said, "Do you always court disaster? I thought that I was daring enough already. But after traveling with you these few days, even I feel frightened for my life."

Zhong Yue laughed and replied, "It is not that dangerous. After all, we came prepared, while the Xiao Mang Celestial Race was unaware of anything at all. Our chance of success is high. We know that we are here for the moon god, but the Xiao Mang grand ancestor will never expect this at all. Thus, if we immediately run after stealing her, there is a higher chance we will succeed."

Gu Hongzi shook his head. He had fought with Shi Buyi, abused Zhu Yushan right outside of the Feng Gu City with utter disregard and even chased him all the way to the West Barren. He already thought that those feats were audacious enough. Yet, this Junior Martial Brother Zhong was even more daring to think about snatching the moon god away from the Xiao Mang grand ancestor's!

But what was most important was that Zhong Yue was not acting rashly; everything had been well-planned out by him beforehand.

Back then, Zhong Yue had always acted on his own will, and Gu Hongzi would often have to clean up the messes he made, clearing the tracks and trails he had left behind. But now, Zhong Yue had matured enough to clean up the aftermath of the messes he made while executing his absurd plans that not even Gu Hongzi could even think of.

Junior Martial Brother Zhong has grown up. He does not fail the expectations that the old man had of him.

Gu Hongzi thought of Feng Shang, and his heart turned bitter, Old man, you've left us way too early, you missed the chance to witness Junior Martial Brother Zhong's success. But that's fine by you, isn't it? It is enough to witness this from the heavens…

Zhong Yue was oblivious to Gu Hongzi's thoughts, he was still waking forward, and moments later, lights shone right at their faces. They had walked into a spacious room, the huge moon core was hovering in mid-air, and it was emanating the bright silvery lights that billowed like water waves!

The crystalline moon core was pure, and some of the silver rays were flowing inside of the moon core, revolving around a beautiful lady whose eyes were tightly closed and her status unknown.

If she were to be described by words, 'beautiful' could barely do her justice. Those other ladies out there in the world: Qiu Jin'er, Jun Sixie, Tian Mo Concubine, Demon Queen and every other lady, although breathtakingly beautiful in their own right, always had at least one or two tiny flaws.

But this young lady in the moon core was flawless as if the whole world had sacrificed everything to ensure her perfection.

The image that the world had of the moon spirit had always been that of a consummately beautiful woman. Over time, as they continued to worship the moon with this image in mind, the moon spirit became endowed with what the world considered to be perfection — flawless and unblemished.

Zhong Yue had seen her once and was awed before. But even when looking at her for the second time, he still couldn't help but feel amazed. No specific could describe the lady's appearance, not even the part of her beauty that is only skin-deep.

While in this spacious room, there wasn't only the moon core and the young lady; there was also the gigantic Pan Ao heads biting at the moon core as they siphoned away from the moon god's essence!

They were the heads of the Xiao Mang grand ancestor's mortal body!

HIs mortal body here was left in this spacious room to slowly refine the moon god!

Gu Hongzi was stunned as he looked at it, they had finally reached the place that the moon spirit was imprisoned in.

All of a sudden, Zhong Yue's heart stiffened up. There was a Xiao Mang Qi Practitioner in this place, a white-haired elder that sat above the moon core, siphoning the moon essences to refine his moon spirit Yuan Shen!

Gu Hongzi then noticed the elder, and he was shocked, A magnate!

The elder startled as he also noticed Zhong Yue, he then asked, "My high priest, how are you so free to come?"

"Am I not allowed to?", Zhong Yue smiled.
