Chapter 322: Luoyue Canyon

Chapter 322: Moonlight Gorge

The vast blue sky, without a single cloud in sight.

The morning radiance spilled freely across the earth, illuminating the main city of the Eight Guild Alliance.

With a roar that echoed through the heavens, the ancient sky was stirred by waves of turbulence, as a black lizard, its massive wings spread wide, soared from the Gate of Seven Blood Eyes, its fury tearing through the mountains.

At first, the creature’s body was only a hundred zhang, but in an instant, as it surged into the sky, its form expanded visibly, growing to an awe-inspiring six thousand zhang.

As it grew larger and larger, its wingspan stretched beyond the mortal realm, casting an shadow that obscured the sun.

The terrifying aura radiating from its body caused the winds and clouds to shift, as a storm began to gather.

Yet in its distance, one could discern countless structures upon its back, their eaves and towers teeming with figures.

Among them, Xu Qing stood out.

This black lizard was one of the Three Great Wings of the Seven Blood Eyes. The figures above were all disciples who had participated in the blood-killing mission of the Seven Blood Eyes.

Not all of them had come for friendship; many were drawn by the generous rewards of the task.

Such was the rule of the Seven Blood Eyes—both benefit and harm, but in the chaos of the martial world, the benefits outweighed the harms.

At this moment, two figures stood atop the highest tower of the Six Peak Fortress, gazing toward the horizon.

They were the patriarch of the Seven Blood Eyes and his ancestor, Blood Lian Zi.

Both men stood against the wind, their robes whispering softly, their eyes cold with killing intent, their murderous aura crystallizing into shards of ice.

Soon, the Six Peak Mountain would erupt in a thunderous crash, and the massive fortress would descend from the heavens, its presence heralding the arrival of war.

The colossal peak radiated a weight of pressure that made all who witnessed it feel the might of its martial prowess.

The Six Peak disciples had all taken action, whether out of loyalty to their ancestor or for the promise of reward.

Other factions, such as the Yunjian Sect, Xuanyou Sect, and Hunter Gate, had also mobilized, their ancestors leading the charge.

Four sects had risen into the sky, their forbidden artifacts activated in unison, their power gathering like a tempest.

In the Yunjian Sect, nine massive bronze swords were hurled into the air, their masters radiating lethal intent.

The Hunter Gate summoned a grotesque eye, seven to eight thousand zhang in size, its pupil a void that contained countless hunters.

The Xuanyou Sect erected a towering tombstone, its blood-charmed runes exuding an ancient, timeless aura.

Above it stood Xuanxia Shitian, surrounded by her disciples.

After the four sects had ascended, the sky rolled with chaos, and the Alliance Monarch’s colossal face loomed, shrouding the heavens.

His eyes, deep and boundless, gazed toward the distant fall.

“A search has confirmed that the Smoking Incense has been verified in four locations within the Imperial Capital’s secret points. Thus, the Alliance strikes today, with each sect targeting a different location to eliminate the Smoking Incense’s cultivators and avenge our fallen comrades!”

“The Alliance’s forbidden techniques are now fully unleashed. The Alliance will coordinate all efforts accordingly.”

“This battle has been reported to the Sword Judgment Court, which deems it of utmost importance. They will monitor the entire engagement, and should the Night Cuckoo’s master appear, he shall not escape the inferno!”

“Moreover, the Court possesses methods to counteract the light within the box.”

“Then, let us charge!”

With the Monarch’s command, the world thundered, and the four sects surged forth, their forms dissolving into the void through celestial arrays.

The Seven Blood Eyes chose the location where the Sacred Jun Zi’s traces had been discovered, with Blood Lian Zi, in his elder status, suppressing the Yunjian Sect to take personal charge of this mission.

The death of the Six Ancestor had its mastermind in the Smoking Incense and his master, but Sacred Jun Zi and his son had also played a role. Thus, the Seven Blood Eyes aimed to eliminate both.

The traces of Sacred Jun Zi were found in the Lesser Sect of the Imperial Capital.

After the Alliance destroyed the dam of the Lesser Sect, the Celestial Sect remained silent, tacitly accepting the loss and downsizing the incident.

The Lesser Sect, the largest branch of the Celestial Sect, had suffered greatly, its disciples reduced to fewer than ten thousand.

Now, under the blazing sun, its disciples were engrossed in their practices when the lizard’s roar and the sudden arrival of black clouds threw the sect into chaos.

Before the disciples could react, the lizard loomed close, its storm sweeping across the land, while the Six Peak Fortress floated in the sky, radiating an aura of dread.

At that moment, the massive bronze mirrors in the Bone Clan’s ancestral hall rotated, their surfaces aligning with the Moonlight Plain.

With a thunderous crash, the seven bloodshot eyes within the mirrors opened, locking onto the Moonlight Gorge.

In an instant, the gorge erupted in crimson light.

Amid the Lesser Sect’s shock and screams, the high-ranking elders sensed something amiss as the bloodlight spread, affecting over a thousand disciples.

The aura within the bloodlight was unmistakable, and as it touched them, their faces twisted, revealing their true forms.

Many were ordinary disciples, yet seven or eight golden-core cultivators were among them, and even the clan’s chief elder had transformed into a stranger’s visage.

This sight left the entire Lesser Sect in disarray, its monarch darkened with fury.

Today’s events were unexpected to others, but he had foreseen them.

Because his identity was closely tied to the Taici Sect, he was the least likely to betray them, so before this, he had already received a warning from the Taici Sect about the infiltration of the Black Incense Sect by many members of the Lesser Sect.

At this moment, as everything unfolded, the master of the Lesser Sect looked displeased and immediately issued a decree.

"All disciples, kill and eliminate those who exude black gas! These people are all members of the Black Incense Sect!"

"No need for you to take action," almost as the master of the Lesser Sect spoke, the roar of Blood-Forged Child echoed through his sleeve, and the forbidden power of the Seven Blood Eyes erupted anew, sealing the four directions.

In the next instant, under the master's command, the seven sons of the Seven Blood Eyes transformed into long thunderbolts, rushing directly toward the Lesser Sect.

They did not attack the ordinary disciples of the Lesser Sect, but only those who exuded black gas.

Xu Qing's eyes had already locked onto a common disciple below the Lesser Sect.

Under the illumination of the Seven Blood Eyes' forbidden light, the man's appearance changed, restoring his original form.

A handsome face radiating the aura of a golden core cultivator. It was Saint Jun Zi.

Saint Jun Zi's expression changed drastically, clearly indicating that he had been found by the Seven Blood Eyes so quickly, which left him stunned and amazed.

But the cultivation level he had previously seen with Xu Qing was no longer the same.

On Saint Jun Zi's body, the golden core's fluctuation was evident, as if his original golden crow had been sealed, yet its power reversed, shifting from draining his vitality to being dominated by his will. It became his own golden crow's eyes.

In the moment he saw Saint Jun Zi, Xu Qing's eyes had no one else.

With the master's command, Xu Qing's murderous intent surged, and he suddenly charged forward, directly toward the Lesser Sect, toward Saint Jun Zi.

This time, he would kill this man.

Half-dead revival.

I can see everyone's comments in the background; any of them can be seen, hem hem.

Thank you for your concern.

Today, I felt as if I were dying from stomach pain. I didn't know how to walk into the hospital alone.

All I remembered was collapsing at the hospital lobby, half-unconscious. In a daze, the receptionist asked me what was wrong, and I said I felt like I was dying.

Then I lost consciousness.

When I awoke, I was in the emergency ICU, surrounded by various devices.

The doctors and nurses said I had come just in time, as my white blood cell count had reached nearly 17,000, and my clothes were soaked in sweat.

In the end, I was not hospitalized, given three IV bags, and returned home at 7 PM, with instructions to observe for a few days.

If there was no improvement, I would immediately return to the hospital, as the doctor explained I had severe gastritis with intense inflammation.

The doctors and nurses scolded me, saying I shouldn't eat takeout and junk food. I had eaten super-spicy mala pot the night before...

But I feel much better now, just a bit weak. Today I could only write one chapter.

It was also a gain, as I walked into the hospital alone, underwent a medical examination alone, lay there alone, and walked out alone. The October wind blew against my face, and I suddenly understood what Xu Qing had felt.
