Shatter the Heavens!
The sky was dark. Suddenly, a ray of indigo light tore through the darkness, and a huge green sword descended, fiercely stabbing into the territory. Then, countless storms, hailstones, tsunamis, earthquakes, and heavenly fires descended in an instant. The territory was in a mess, and everyone was in danger!
Countless white lights flew, and equipment and potions fell to the ground. This attack was earth-shattering!
In the blink of an eye, the dust had settled. My body was still surrounded by a golden light, but half of the city gate tower had already been split in half. Wang Junjie, Hong Lingwu and the others were holding onto a pillar to prevent themselves from falling.
I raised my sword and shouted with a smile, "Wang Junjie, remember this. The reason why I didn't lead Snow Moon to take down this territory today isn't because I'm afraid of Temple of the Moon, but because I don't want Hong Lingwu's good intentions to go to waste. You should learn to treasure it. You have a girl who loves you so much by your side. What else can you be dissatisfied with?
Do I have to wait until I lose everything before it's too late to regret? "
Wang Junjie's face turned purple. He was so angry that he couldn't say a word. Temple of the Moon was a huge guild, and they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Hong Lingwu bit her lips and walked forward. She said, "What do you mean?"
"Nothing."
I looked back at her and said, "Snow Moon has always minded its own business with other guilds, and Temple of the Moon is the same. Now that the Nation War has officially begun, no one wants the China server to be in a mess. So, as long as Temple of the Moon doesn't provoke us, Snow Moon won't cause trouble for you."
Hong Lingwu's eyes turned and she nodded. "I understand."
Wang Junjie didn't buy it and said angrily, "Stop talking about morality. White Cloud City isn't the only big guild in Snow Moon. Hmph, Snow Moon will suffer in the future."
I looked at him in disdain and said, "If you have the balls, then come and try. Wang Junjie, if you dare to lead troops to Snow Moon, I will wipe the name Temple of the Moon from White Cloud City!"
"Hmph!" Wang Junjie had a face full of hatred.
"Take care of yourself."
I warned Hong Lingwu and then turned to leave. After a few steps, I turned around and said to Seven-star Lamp, "Old Seven, your choice isn't wise at all. Suifeng, you have the freedom to return to Snow Moon. No one has the right to force you."
Seven Star Lamp and Dark Shadow Drifter were stunned for a moment. They looked like they were in a difficult position.
"Forget it. You guys stay in Temple of the Moon for now."
I turned around again and said to Solitary Grave, "Uncle, let's go. There's nothing left for us to do here."
Solitary Grave nodded. Hellfire said, "Scholar, why do I have a feeling that you can take over this territory by yourself? There's no need for you to be polite with Temple of the Moon."
I smiled but didn't say anything. It was true that I could deal a fatal blow to Temple of the Moon if I summoned the Fire Dragon, but it would be very difficult to take over the territory. Seven-star Lamp, Shadow Follower, and Han Xin wouldn't just stand by and watch. If they teamed up with me, it was very likely that I would be riding a tiger and unable to back down. It was only natural to leave a path of retreat for oneself.
Solitary Grave and Hellfire took their people to grind levels while I rode through the snowy mountains. An hour or so later, we arrived at the Glacier Mountain Range. After crossing the mountain range, I saw a couple of orange dots in the distance. It was where Ling Yue, Ling Xue, and the others were grinding.
Along the way, I saw quite a few White Cloud City players grinding here. There was a ten-man party every one or two miles, but they were usually in a state of chaos. Warsong level monsters slaughtered them all over the place.
Another five minutes or so later, Ling Yue and the others appeared in front of us after we crossed a small mountain ridge.
"Heh, Scholar is here!"
I pulled out my sword and killed a low-health Moss Undead in two hits.
"Scholar, has Temple of the Moon taken over the territory?" Ling Yue asked.
"Yeah, they did."
"It's fine. They're a big guild, so it's a bit strange that they don't have a territory. We can't force other guilds into a corner."
"Yeah, yeah …"
I nodded. Suddenly, I let out a cry of surprise. "Hmm?"
"What's wrong?" Ling Xue looked at me.
"I think I saw a red dot flash on the top left corner of the map …" I stared at the system map in disbelief.
Ling Xue smiled. "How is that possible? Why didn't I see a red dot?"
The girls also said, "Yeah, we didn't see it."
However, I could clearly feel that there was a red dot flashing in that direction. Was it a paranormal event?
No, it couldn't be.
"Hmm?
Scholar, look at your boots! "
Qin Yun let out a cry of surprise. Everyone looked over and saw that the Heavenly Forged War Boots were faintly glowing as if they sensed something.
Could it be...
"Ha, I get it!
There must be an unknown map over there! "
Ling Yue asked in puzzlement, "Why?"
"Because the Heavenly Forged War Boots sensed the aura of a similar equipment …" I also felt that it was a bit strange, but I couldn't help but believe it. I said, "It's about an hour's journey. Let's go take a look?"
The girls looked at each other and finally nodded. "Then, let's go!"
In this party, there were only five girls from Xue Yue Studio. Ling Yue, Ling Xue, Bing Cha, Qin Yun, Chrysanthemum Daohana, and me. There were six of us in total. We could be considered a peak six-man party.
Ling Yue and Ling Xue shared one mount, Bing Cha and Qin Yun shared the other, and I took Chrysanthemum Daohana with me. No one had any objections, so we set off. The three mounts flew through the Plains of Ice and Fire. Because our levels were high, we didn't attract too much of the monsters' firepower. It was very safe.
Gradually, we entered a fiery red leveling map. The ground looked like it was dyed in blood, and the hooves of the warhorses made squeaking noises when they stepped on the ground. Moreover, there were piles of ghastly white bones buried in the mud by the side of the road. It was a shocking sight to behold.
"Are all maps in the Outer Lands this dark?" Ling Xue asked.
"It's the same for the few we met," I replied.
Bing Cha pointed his spear to the right and said in shock, "Look, there's something there!"
"Oh?"
He urged his horse forward. It was a small col, and he saw four blood-red skeletons dragging a human out from the col. They swarmed over, and with a hissing sound, they actually tore the human into several pieces and ate them one by one.
"Fuck, what are these things!
Let's go! "
I urged my horse forward and put down Chrysanthemum Daohana. I said, "Xiangxiang, seal one, I'll imprison one, Ling 'er, and the rest of you, come with me. We'll kill them one by one!"
"Got it!"
These blood-red skeletons were Warsong Rank monsters, and they were very fierce. We couldn't beat them one on one unless we attacked them in groups.
"Keke!!"
The blood-red skeletons noticed our arrival and immediately gave up on their prey.
"Dragon Bind!"
"Soul Seal!"
"Rushing Thunder Slash!"
Three of them were taken care of in an instant. I tanked the last one while the rest of the girls attacked together. After Freezing Slash, Bing Cha used Thunderous Slash and Ling Yue used Waning Moon Arrows. Although this monster was Warsong Rank, it couldn't withstand the combined attacks of our experts. It was killed in two or three hits.
After that, we continued to kill the next one. It took us almost ten minutes to kill four monsters.
"Hehe, so much experience..." Chrysanthemum Daohana said with a smile.
I got off my horse and walked forward. The human NPC had been torn to pieces. It was a horrible sight. It looked like even Qin Yun couldn't save him.
Right at this moment, moaning sounds came from the col.
Someone's there!
I quickly turned around and saw a female NPC warrior!
She wore fiery red armor and held a longsword in her hand. Behind her were almost a hundred blood-soaked soldiers. It looked like they had been trapped here for a long time.
The female warrior was a general because there was a redbud magic emblem floating on her shoulder. That was the symbol of White Cloud City's military officers. Looking at her rank, she should be a commander.
Yes, she was at least four ranks higher than me. In her eyes, I was just a small fry.
[Bloody Moonlight – Jasmine] (White Cloud City's Blue Dragon Legion's Supreme Commander)
… …
She was an important person, and her position in White Cloud City's military was definitely not low. It looked like the wounded soldiers behind her were all soldiers of the Blue Dragon Legion. It was only because they had been ambushed here that they were in such a pitiful state.
"Ah!
It's the soldiers of White Cloud City! "Jasmine's eyes were filled with endless joy.
"Hehe, we have a quest!" Ling Xue laughed softly.
Thus, our group quickly walked over. I asked, "Lord, why is this place like this? What kind of attack did you suffer?"
A trace of murderous intent appeared in Jasmine's eyes. She said angrily, "There are some scheming bastards in the Judgement God Temple!
Princess Fei Ya calculated the situation here, but she underestimated their strength. "
"Judgement God Temple?"
"Yes."
The beautiful female general, Jasmine, sighed and said: "The veil has finally been lifted from the Outer Realms that have been hidden by the dense fog. This place has already been corroded by the power of darkness. Recently, an evil aura has been rising rapidly here. The Hero's Altar from the Primordial Era has now become the source of evil — — Divine Hall of Judgement.
Those schemers of the Army of Darkness actually want to destroy the entire Spirit of Grief Continent. "
I looked around but saw nothing. So I asked, "Where is the Judgement God Temple? Why can't I see a trace of it?"
Jasmine pointed at the valley in front of us and said, "It's in the valley, but you need a crystal to enter."
"Crystal?"
"Yes!"
Jasmine spread open her five fingers, and a sparkling and resplendent diamond appeared in the palm of her hand. It floated in midair and slowly rotated, reflecting a beautiful luster.
"Wow!
Such a big diamond. If I take this to the world auction, it will definitely sell for a lot of money! "I laughed on the inside.
Ling Xue and the other girls looked a bit dazed. Women always had poor resistance to glowing gems.
Commander Jasmine turned around and looked at the injured soldiers behind her. A trace of sorrow appeared in her eyes as she said, "A thousand of us came here as scouts. Now, there are only a hundred of us left. I'm afraid that we will be buried here forever."
I said, "How can that be?
We can use a magic formation to teleport back to the city, and bring a large group of people here. "
Jasmine shook her head with a bitter smile. "Our mages have become food for the bloody skeletons, and their magic scrolls have been torn to shreds. Those bloody skeletons have been spying on us all this time..."
I smiled. "That's easy. We can use a return scroll, right?"
"Ah?
You have one? "
"Of course."
I took out a return scroll, and the beautiful female general immediately let out a cheer of joy. It was as if she had grasped a life-saving straw.
Ling Xue and I exchanged a look. "Is it really necessary? It's just a scroll worth 1 gold..."
Maybe it was because people who hadn't been to the desert didn't know the value of water. In any case, Jasmine thought of a small return scroll as a priceless treasure.
"But there are more than a hundred of us..." Jasmine showed a troubled expression. "Also, the devils in the Temple of Judgment haven't been killed yet, so we have no reason to return!
How can the great Blue Dragon Army be looked down upon by the other armies of the empire! "
Here's my chance!
I immediately expressed my position. "My lady, we are willing to go to the Temple of Judgment and complete the quest in your place."
Jasmine showed a gratified expression and said with a smile, "Alright then. Be careful, brave warrior. The devils of the Warsong Race are very scary. Come back alive!"
"Mn."
Ding ~!
System Notice: Do you accept the quest [Temple of Judgment]?
Confirm!
System Notice: Congratulations, your party has accepted the quest [Temple of Judgment]!
(Current Quest Difficulty: 7500)
Description: Enter the Temple of Judgment and kill all the dark creatures in the temple. You must kill the final guardian of the temple, Chaos Adjudicator Raging Wind, and bring its head back to Princess Fei Ya. Your party will be rewarded handsomely. Please be careful, this quest may be too difficult for you.
… …
It was another super difficult quest with a Quest Difficulty of over 7000. It was hard to imagine. Our levels were already so high, so wasn't 7500 a little too scary?
No wonder the quest told us to be careful...
Now that the quest was accepted, it was time to use the pass.
"Lady Jasmine, we... we need six crystals to enter the Temple of Judgment." I was a bit embarrassed to ask.
Jasmine smiled. "No problem."
She quickly gave each of us a crystal, but said in a troubled tone, "All of our soldiers are injured. Can you give us more magic scrolls?"
I only had a dozen or so return scrolls on me, so I turned around and asked the girls in the workshop, "Did you bring more?"
Ling Xue said, "I have 6 …"
Ling Yue said, "I only brought 3 …"
Qin Yun said, "I brought 11."
Chrysanthemum Daohana said, "I have 7."
Bing Cha said sadly, "I forgot to bring them …"
I was speechless for a moment, so I said, "You guys wait here. I'm going back to the city for a bit. I'll be back soon."
"Okay, go quickly!"
So I took out a return scroll, crushed it, and used it to teleport back to White Cloud City. Then, I ran to the grocery store and bought 120 or so return scrolls in one go. It was fortunate that my bag space was big enough. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't have been able to do so.
I took out the Tracking Necklace, used it, and flew back to Ling Xue.
Jasmine was overjoyed when she took out a bunch of magic scrolls. After distributing the scrolls, the NPCs completed their quest and returned to the city.
We, on the other hand, had a huge challenge ahead of us.
I turned around and looked at the bloody valley. I smiled and said, "Temple of Judgment, we've come to Snow Moon!"
