Obviously, everyone was stunned by the strange appearance of the village, and even Chu Yan rubbed her eyes cutely to confirm whether what she was seeing was real. As soon as this group of people stepped into the village, paper money began to float in the air.
Not even Elder Roushui knew what was going on, seeming never to have encountered such a situation in her decades of demon extermination.
"Hello! Is anyone here?"
Chu Yan looked sowhat fearful, rely shouting at the village entrance, but there was no response at all. The only answer she got was the paper money fluttering in the sky.
Jian Wuchen stepped forward, waiting. The nearest city was dozens of kiloters away, truly in the middle of nowhere. Due to the chaos of the Chu Country’s governnt, many people had chosen to live in seclusion, preferring a peaceful life.
But this village before us was not so secluded dwelling. The paper money floating down like flower petals slowly landed on the ground.
Long Yan did not reach out but rely bent down slightly, looking at the paper money on the ground. It seed like the kind you could buy endlessly with only a little silver, even the edges were neatly trimd as if matching a single design.
Long Yan stepped into the village, but after two steps, he froze. Standing motionless in the center, it was as if he recalled sothing, deeply exhaling a breath. His usually composed expression was masked with panic, frightening everyone, for Long Yan was normally the most stable among them.
Now, even Long Yan showed such an expression, making everyone tense up instinctively while Long Yan remained standing among the paper money, utterly dumbfounded and silent, his back slightly trembling as if enduring sothing.
"Elder Roushui, co here for a mont."
Elder Roushui was startled. Long Yan’s normally sunny voice was now dry, like an old man nearing death. So, Elder Roushui stood motionless, stunned.
"Elder Roushui."
It wasn’t until Long Yan called again that Elder Roushui snapped back to reality, walking over as if waking from a dream. She looked at the crimson spot in Long Yan’s hand; it was strange, seeming to be the center part of the paper money. Normal paper money was designed like coins around the edges, leaving the center empty, but the piece in Long Yan’s hand was different from anything Elder Roushui had seen.
Outside it’s the sa, but in the middle, a star shape had been cut out, and the star was red, this crimson particularly vivid, drawing one’s gaze irresistibly towards the center of the paper money. Elder Roushui felt a sudden chill.
"Is this not—?"
Elder Roushui’s expression was a bit ugly; she had never seen such a thing, only knew of it from books in Shu Mountain. She never thought she would see it in person today.
Not waiting for Elder Roushui to speak again, Long Yan nodded.
"That’s right, your thoughts are correct; it’s the Three-Day Moon Array."
Upon hearing these words from Long Yan, Elder Roushui felt her legs weaken, nearly collapsing to the ground, her eyes blood-red. But it wasn’t from anger; like Long Yan, she was shocked by this thing.
Everyone still stood at the village entrance, seeing Long Yan support Elder Roushui, preventing her from falling. Many disciples from the Water Vein rushed over, afraid Elder Roushui had suffered sothing terrible, but she gently waved her hand, indicating she was fine.
Many Shu Mountain disciples continued wide-eyed, oblivious to what had transpired, only knowing the village seed far from simple, scaring even a Shu Mountain elder into nearly sitting down, proving it’s no ordinary place.
"Disciples of Shu Mountain, hear my command!"
Elder Roushui shouted suddenly after calming her mind, startling the still bewildered Shu Mountain disciples, who subconsciously stood tall, seemingly knowing what Elder Roushui intended.
In daily life, Elder Roushui was gentle like her na, never scolded or hit her disciples, who diligently studied. Many wished to follow Elder Roushui, despite her being a woman; she beca a formidable force within Shu Mountain, impossible to ignore.
"Disciples, do you rember what you said when you joined Shu Mountain?"
Elder Roushui’s voice gradually softened, having brought along elite mbers from her Water Vein faction, naturally also Shu Mountain’s elite, absent of strife over fa and profit, creating a tranquil environnt.
Elder Roushui’s gaze swept across the disciples before her; she had been at Shu Mountain for only three or four decades, a brief ti in a cultivator’s view. Since her arrival, she achieved legendary status in the Holy Domain.
"We, Shu Mountain disciples, take demon extermination as our duty."
Though many years had passed, this phrase remained exceptionally clear; Long Yan seed to understand what Elder Roushui intended, suffocating him with fear. Tianshan Sect mbers remained confused at the village entrance, clueless about the Shu Mountain disciples’ intentions.
"Indeed... indeed."
With two affirmations, even Elder Roushui’s calm face showed signs of pride, rightfully proud of having such disciples.
Even the Tianshan Sect group outside the village realized its uniqueness and danger.
"Young Hero Long Yan."
Elder Roushui softly summoned Long Yan, her voice gentle yet decisive, bowing deeply to him.
This startled Long Yan, hastily helping Elder Roushui up.
"Elder, what are you doing? Don’t just stand there; help your master up."
"Young Hero Long."
Jian Han restrained his inner excitent, recognizing their master’s temperant from years of companionship; this ti seed a genuine life-and-death situation, but Shu Mountain needed Long Yan’s assistance.
"Shu Mountain entrusts this to you."
Then, all Shu Mountain disciples bowed deeply to Long Yan, leaving him completely bewildered.
What is this group intending to do?
"We have decided that the support from Shu Mountain is too late; we intend to destroy the Three-Day Moon Array!"
