Capítulo 1335: Chapter 1336: The Long-Awaited Arrival of the Huashan Sect Disciples
“Okay! Maybe I’m just ignorant, inexperienced, and emotionally simple.”
Tan Jingwen had no reason to object, because indeed, such a situation could occur.
After a brief exchange, the two went to join the main group.
After resting, Lin Yifan also set off with everyone else to search for treasures.
A short while later, a disciple from a major Sect arrived at this small town.
Upon discovering people in the town, they imdiately landed and asked about the situation.
They first approached Du Yuze, because he was the first person they saw.
Coming closer, they turned on their flashlight and Su Xinming was shocked, exclaiming, “Brother Du! Why are you here?”
“Isn’t it natural for to be here? Did you think I was gone?” Du Yuze retorted.
Seeing Su Xinming’s figure, he knew which major Sect this disciple belonged to—it was indeed the Huashan Sect, one of the eight major Sects.
The Huashan Sect was not among the Nine Great Sects besieging Lin Yifan, so they might not have malicious intent towards him, and he could lower his guard.
“I didn’t an that, just curious why you’re in this remote area.” Su Xinming explained.
“I was wandering and ended up here, is there a problem?”
Du Yuze believed that the Huashan Sect disciples weren’t in the small town to search for treasures but were headed towards the forbidden area of the Moon Worship Sect in the Great Dark Forest; they just happened to pass through here and saw people, so they landed to ask around and gather information.
Indeed, he guessed correctly; the Huashan Sect disciples were headed for the Moon Worship Sect’s forbidden area because they heard that all nine Sects had gone there in pursuit of the Peerless Treasure; they didn’t want to miss out on the treasure, so they hurried over.
“No problem, just one question I wonder if Brother Du could answer?”
“What is it?”
“Have you seen any other Sect disciples pass through here?” Su Xinming inquired.
“Yes! A few hours ago, it seed disciples from nine major Sects went towards a forest, not sure what they’re up to,” Du Yuze answered vaguely.
“Aren’t you curious about what they’re doing?”
“Curious, yes!”
“Then why didn’t you follow them?” Su Xinming pressed, really wanting to know the reason.
Because normally, seeing such a massive turnout, one would be extrely curious and unable to resist checking it out.
“I couldn’t help it; I only have a few people with , couldn’t go,” Du Yuze replied with a forlorn expression.
“A few people? Where are your junior brothers and sisters?”
Su Xinming was shocked, never expecting such an outco.
dicinal Saint Valley is a major Sect, with nurous disciples and many masters. How could they be down to so few people?
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help recalling the eerie event he encountered not long after arriving—when a large number of Diancang Sect disciples perished unexpectedly. At that ti, he suspected it was the work of a Spirit Beast. He wondered if the disciples of dicinal Saint Valley faced the sa calamity as the Diancang Sect disciples.
“We’ve long since parted ways; now I’m with my junior brother Lin and junior sister Xiaofang,” Du Yuze replied.
“Parted ways? So you’re saying your junior brothers and sisters aren’t dead?”
“When we first ca in, most were still around; now, I’m not sure,” Du Yuze replied.
“Whew, you gave a scare. I thought your dicinal Saint Valley disciples had also t a grim fate and were wiped out.”
Su Xinming sighed in relief.
In this dark Secret Realm, he had encountered too many bizarre occurrences, and they still felt terrifying whenever he recalled them.
“So, brother Su seems to have encountered sothing strange?”
“To be honest, ever since entering this Northeast Secret Realm, I’ve encountered so many sinister things. Now, every ti I hear of a Sect’s demise, I can’t help but shiver.” Su Xinming answered with terror on his face.
“What strange things has brother Su encountered? Tell about them.”
Du Yuze was very intrigued and really curious about the recent occurrences.
“Do you know that the Diancang Sect disciples have all perished?”
“All perished? I didn’t know!”
Du Yuze was startled. He thought Su Xinming would ntion other strange events, not an incident he had already been involved in.
“Do you know that the leaders of two dium-sized Sects died in a small forest? And the strange part is, there was also a Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Peak, a two-headed snake with its Spirit Beast Crystal Core removed, and what’s more bizarre, it was You Jun and Fu Haowei who stole the Spirit Beast Crystal Core?”
“I didn’t know, so what?”
Du Yuze was really eager to understand why it was so frightening.
These two incidents, he had been part of, and didn’t find them very scary.
“Don’t you find these events very bizarre?” Su Xinming rejoined.
“Indeed strange, but everything has a reason. These people didn’t die without cause; otherwise, we wouldn’t still be standing here,” Du Yuze replied.
“What you say makes sense, but these bizarre events are like enigmatic ancient mysteries, elusive and growing more terrifying the more you ponder them.”
Seeing Su Xinming’s expression and deanor, Du Yuze couldn’t help but laugh privately. If these are ‘ancient mysteries,’ then the ‘strange happenings’ in the Great Dark Forest are ‘eternal puzzles,’ aren’t they?
“Brother Su, relax. There aren’t that many bizarre things in this world, nor are there that many demons and monsters. It’s just the mind playing tricks; if you don’t think that way, things won’t happen that way,” Du Yuze reassured.
Su Xinming was a decent person, so he didn’t want him to go down the wrong path and be tornted by fear.
“I understand the reasoning, but I can’t help thinking that way.”
“Alright, in that case, there’s nothing more I can do.”
Du Yuze could only help to this extent; overcoming the Heart Demon required personal effort.
Su Xinming didn’t want to dwell on this matter further. He had shared what needed sharing, and whether or not Du Yuze would stay vigilant was up to him.
Afterward, he generously invited Du Yuze, “Brother Du, would you like to join us in exploring that great forest?”
“You’re already so scared, yet dare to go to such a terrifying place?”
Du Yuze was a bit surprised, wondering what Su Xinming was thinking; maybe what he said earlier was just to fool him?
“Brother Du knows that place is dangerous?”
“I don’t know, but from afar, it’s pitch dark, like you can’t see your hand in front of your face, and it feels terrifying, not knowing what’s inside,” Du Yuze replied.
“Alright, to be frank, that Great Dark Forest is the forbidden area of the Moon Worship Sect, with the Peerless Treasure inside. If you want to grab so treasures, join us.”
Su Xinming kindly shared the valuable tip he acquired, seeming very generous.
In fact, he had a purpose in doing so: to bring Du Yuze aboard.
