For Long Yu, the real challenge has yet to begin.
According to the records in the library of the Alliance of Five Emperors, the Dark Moon Cataclysm in history usually lasts for a month, after which the Nine Dark Moons will move to a place far away from Shen Wu world. As the Nine Dark Moons move further and further away, the Cataclysm will become weaker and weaker until it finally ends.
After each Dark Moon Cataclysm ends, the entire Shen Wu world will be in ruins, at least 30% of the population will lose their lives!
Of course, if the Dark Moon Cataclysm can be prepared and dealt with, the death toll will decrease drastically. For example, the Northern Snow Empire right now should be able to control the death toll to below 5%.
The most severe Dark Moon Cataclysm in history caused the population of Shen Wu world to wither, more than half of the population died during the Cataclysm, it's not hard to imagine how terrifying it was.
Most importantly, the Dark Moon Cataclysm comes without any warning, and the gap between two Dark Moon Cataclysm can be anywhere from 100 to 1000 years, so it's impossible to predict.
Others in Shen Wu world don't know, but Long Yu does. This is because the orbit of the Nine Dark Moons around Shen Wu world isn't fixed, it's constantly changing, sometimes very far away, sometimes very close.
This also caused the Alliance of Five Emperors to be unable to make any preparations for the Dark Moon Cataclysm. However, with Long Yu's reminder, the Alliance of Five Emperors made a lot of preparations for the Dark Moon Cataclysm this time, so they should be able to reduce their losses by quite a bit.
The Dark Moon Cataclysm lasts for a month, and the truly powerful souls will only awaken in the latter half of the month. Only then will it be Long Yu's turn to make a move. As for the first half of the month, most of the awakened souls of King and Emperor realms will wreak havoc in Shen Wu world. Although they aren't particularly powerful, their numbers are uncountable, and there's no end to them!
Even Emperor realm cultivators have been surrounded and killed by countless awakened Emperor realm souls.
However, since Long Yu was in the Heavenly Mandate City, which was well prepared for defense, it was unlikely that he would encounter such a situation where he was besieged by the souls of the dead. Therefore, in the first half of the month, he planned to protect Bei Yuyao and his other friends in the Heavenly Mandate City.
Long Yu quietly followed behind Bei Yuyao and Dou Zicheng after he saw them. After a moment of careful observation, he discovered that both of them were at initial emperor realm. Their progress wasn't very fast, but it wasn't too slow either.
As an initial emperor realm cultivator, he should be able to survive the calamity of the Dark Moon for the first half of the month. However, there was no guarantee that no accidents would occur, so he had to be careful at all times.
Bei Yuyao and Dou Zicheng walked through the Heavenly Mandate City. As friends who had known each other for a long time, and Dou Zicheng was a good friend of Long Yu's father, Long Zaitian, they had a rich experience in cooperating with each other in combat.
Soon, the two of them encountered two awakened Ancient Souls of the Dead. It was a giant centipede and a giant python. The two phantoms of the Ancient Souls of the Dead appeared on the left and right of Bei Yuyao and Dou Zicheng respectively, attacking them from both sides!
Long Yu was not in a hurry to attack because these two Ancient Souls of the Dead were only at the late stage of the King Realm. They shouldn't be very strong in battle, so there was no need for him to attack so soon.
Bei Yuyao raised her hand, and the power of the Ice Divine Text poured out. She activated the mid-level magic of the Fifth and Sixth Heavens, and instantly froze the giant centipede!
As for Dou Zicheng, he comprehended the Wind Elemental Divine Text. With a wave of his hand, a tornado was born and condensed, and the other giant python was wrapped in it.
The two of them had rich experience in fighting together. In an instant, they suppressed the two Ancient Souls of the Dead. Then, the two of them used various killing moves and completely killed the two Ancient Souls of the Dead.
A translucent mist floated out of the dead Ancient Souls of the Dead and was directly absorbed by Bei Yuyao. Long Yu felt that Bei Yuyao's martial arts realm had become more solid and stable.
It seemed that the translucent mist was the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi inside the Ancient Souls of the Dead. When the Ancient Souls of the Dead died completely, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi that supported their existence dissipated and could be absorbed by the people nearby.
Long Yu looked to the other side and saw that the two Zhang brothers were fighting against different Ancient Souls of the Dead. However, two Late Emperor Realm Ancient Souls of the Dead suddenly appeared beside the younger Zhang brother!
"Twin Beast Souls!"
Long Yu looked over and saw through the two Late Emperor Realm Ancient Souls of the Dead.
They were two bird-type giant beasts that had died many years ago. The resurrected souls of these two bird-type giant beasts looked like two giant Heavenly Eagles, but their claws were very large and their strength was extremely terrifying.
The two Ancient Souls of the Dead were resurrected at the same time. They stretched out their translucent wings and swooped down directly toward the younger Zhang brother, wanting to tear him into pieces!
How could the younger Zhang brother resist the two resurrected Ancient Souls of the Dead alone?
"Watch out!"
Although the older Zhang brother had previously insisted on a life-and-death battle with the younger Zhang brother, now that his brother was in danger, the older Zhang brother still hurriedly cried out in alarm and flashed over!
The two of them fought against a Heavenly Eagle Soul of the Dead and temporarily stabilized the situation. Soon, some nearby city guards and martial arts practitioners of the Jianghu arrived and directly blasted away the two Twin Beast Souls.
The Heavenly Mandate City had a radius of hundreds of miles and was vast. More and more Ancient Souls of the Dead kept appearing in the Heavenly Mandate City. Fortunately, because they were prepared in advance, they were still at a level that they could handle until now.
"Not bad."
Long Yu watched the Zhang brothers shake hands and reconcile after this crisis and smiled. These two fellows could still be saved. If these two really disregarded their brotherhood for a woman, it would really make Long Yu extremely disappointed.
Competition was fine, but why make brothers kill each other?
There were many ways to compete fairly. They were not mortal enemies, so there was no need for a life-and-death battle!
In the Heavenly Mandate City, countless people were busy, and Ancient Souls of the Dead were constantly resurrected. They varied in strength from the early stage of the King Realm to the late stage of the Emperor Realm, and occasionally, there were even Imperial Soul of the Dead!
Although there were not many of them, every time a Imperial Soul of the Dead appeared, it could be said that the Heavenly Mandate City was under great pressure. After all, there were not many Imperial Realm cultivators in the Heavenly Mandate City. Now, only Yu Xiaoyin and Yu Linfeng were stationed in the Heavenly Mandate City.
Long Yu had been following behind Bei Yuyao and Dou Zicheng. After following them for a small part of the Heavenly Mandate City, he suddenly realized that the situation in the entire city seemed to be not quite right.
"The power of deduction!"
Long Yu frowned slightly and did not hesitate to activate the power of deduction in his body. Although he only vaguely felt that something was wrong, he did not know what exactly was wrong, so he tried to use the power of deduction.
The power of deduction continued to appear in his mind, and then countless clues related to his uneasiness were quickly strung together, and finally let him find some clues that something was wrong!
At this moment in the Heavenly Mandate City, although most people were seriously fighting against the Dark Moon Catastrophe, there were still a few people who were fishing in troubled waters!
This sort of thing could be considered normal. However, since Long Yu had sensed it, then the things that the other party had done would definitely be related to Long Yu.
When Long Yu continued to use the power of deduction, he finally discovered that there were many people from an unknown organization lying in ambush everywhere in the Heavenly Mandate City. After deduction, the target of this group of people was actually to harm the leaders of the Heavenly Mandate City, such as Bei Yuyao and Dou Zicheng!
The current Heavenly Mandate City was one of the four main cities of the Northern Snow Empire, and its importance was self-evident. The leaders and management of the city, such as the City Lord, were naturally extremely important.
"Someone actually wants to attack the City Lord Office … I want to see who is so bold!"
A murderous look flashed in Long Yu's eyes. Soon, following the results of the power of deduction, he tracked a black-robed man who was waiting for an opportunity in a small alley.
This alley was completely immersed in the shadows. If not for Long Yu's power of deduction, he would not have noticed it at all. But there really was a black-robed man in this alley!
Long Yu walked deep into the alley and saw the black-robed man. The black-robed man was originally waiting for something, but the moment he saw Long Yu, he stood up.
"What are you doing here? This is my territory. If there are ancient dead souls coming back, only I have the right to kill them … "
The black-robed man said viciously when he saw Long Yu appear.
From the looks of it, he was just an ordinary cultivator waiting in a small alley. However, Long Yu could see something different from the other party's eyes. It was something that made the black-robed man appear somewhat nervous.
This black-robed man was definitely going to do something big!
"Late-stage Emperor Realm."
The corner of Long Yu's mouth curled up slightly. "Tell me honestly, what are you waiting for by hiding here? I will count to three. If you don't answer honestly, you can go to hell. "
The black-robed man did not expect Long Yu to be so decisive. He looked at Long Yu in surprise and doubt, but he could not tell who Long Yu was at all. He could not even see Long Yu's martial arts realm.
This made him a little flustered. But just when Long Yu counted to two, a rhythmic thunder suddenly came from the center of Heavenly Mandate City.
One long, one short, one long, one short. It went on for three cycles.
"Hmm?"
Long Yu saw a flash of panic in the black-robed man's eyes when he heard this sound. He could not help but frown. The situation did not seem right!
In the next moment, it seemed that all the secret forces hiding in Heavenly Mandate City had finally acted at the same time. Under the detection of Long Yu's balanced control of the secret martial arts method, everything within a radius of a hundred miles was imprinted in Long Yu's mind.
"Assassination? What a good plan. I just don't know who sent you here to die! "
A murderous intent surged in Long Yu's eyes. Then, the black-robed man in front of him was instantly killed from inside. Until death, his face still had a look of disbelief and panic.
