The sun was shining brightly.
Yu Yuan sat on the silver-white ground with his back against a craggy rock. Heat rose from his body as he faced the scorching sun directly.
The medicinal power of a Blood Origin Pill turned into a trickle that nourished his flesh and replenished his vitality.
The wounds inside his body caused by Fan Li's sneak attack were being healed.
The sword beams that destroyed the soft power Fan Li had applied returned to his arms and bones.
The sword beams were like strange imprints that were imprinted on his bones. They were vast, mighty, and ancient, waiting for him to comprehend them.
It had been a while since he parted with Fan Li.
Borrowing the power of the Blood Origin Pill and the Nine Lights Heavenly Wheel, he focused on healing his wounds.
Not far away, Zhao Yafu, Yuan Ting, and the others were cultivating under the shade of a rock.
This time, they didn't choose to go to any of the nearby sinkholes. Instead, they chose to go to the wilderness.
The reason they did this was because they were worried that a conflict would break out at a certain sinkhole.
Yuan Ting was worried that the people of Nether Moon City might be looking for them at those sinkholes.
"Tap tap!"
Suddenly, footsteps approached.
Zhao Yafu was alerted. She quietly stood up and looked in a direction.
It wasn't long before Han Hui and the others from Cold Moon City showed up, looking dispirited.
Earlier, when Yu Yuan came out of the sinkhole, the two groups went their separate ways and acted alone.
Under Yu Yuan's invitation, they temporarily stopped exploring the moon fragment in the sinkhole and came to the wilderness to recover their spirit energy and consider their next move.
Han Hui led the people of Cold Moon City to the next sinkhole to search for more secrets.
But now, they had come to the surface.
"Sister Han, why are you here?" Zhao Yafu waved her hand. Looking at their sorry state, she said, "What's wrong? Did you run into someone? "
"We had a conflict with the people of Waning Moon City in another sinkhole." Han Hui was very worried. "We found the mural first. After we poured spirit energy into it, a strange formation appeared. That formation should be some kind of large protective formation. We were about to copy it when Waning Moon City attacked us. "
Yuan Ting walked over and said, "Is anyone okay?"
"Waning Moon City doesn't dare to break the rules. They only injured a few of us and told us to scram." Han Hui sighed softly. "Since we're in a disadvantageous situation, I have no choice but to lead them out like cowards. Those who were obedient did as they were told. They were injured, and I didn't want them to encounter any accidents in the pit, so I had no choice but to come up. "
"Sister Hui, we know that you're not afraid of them," Yu Feifei said.
Zhao Yafu also said, "It's very wise for you to be in charge of Cold Moon City."
Yuan Ting nodded. "Your existence has saved them from more harm."
The people of Dark Moon City, who were in the same boat, comforted them and told them not to be dispirited. They just needed to stay alive.
"Our luck has always been pretty good. Unfortunately, we do not possess sufficient strength to claim the spoils of war." Han Hui was silent for a few seconds. Then, she suddenly made a serious suggestion. "Little Sister Zhao, Big Brother Yuan, I think we can form an alliance in the forbidden land. Our two cities are the weakest. Individually, we are no match for the other teams. "
"However, if we can form an alliance, we'll have a much better chance of winning."
"For example, if our two teams are together at the mural, we should be able to win if a conflict really breaks out between us and Waning Moon City."
"What's even more likely is that after those people from Waning Moon City find out that we've formed an alliance, they won't even pay attention to the mural!"
"If we're divided, we'll be weak. If we work together, we'll be strong. What do you think?"
After suffering two losses, Han Hui truly believed that they couldn't continue like this. Otherwise, they would end up with nothing every time. Wouldn't she be so angry that she would vomit blood every time?
"Work together, form an alliance …"
Yuan Ting was tempted. He couldn't help but look at Zhao Yafu. "What do you think?"
Zhao Yafu's cultivation base and strength were the strongest among them. He had seen it with his own eyes. That was why he asked for Zhao Yafu's opinion on this matter.
Zhao Yafu turned her head and looked in the direction where Yu Yuan was cultivating. "Let's wait for Big Brother Yu to wake up and ask him."
"You still need his approval on this matter?" Han Hui was very confused. "He's a little strange. He was able to make a breakthrough in his cultivation while falling into the pit. But … "
She wanted to say that even so, Yu Yuan was only at the early stage of the Spirit Nurturing Realm.
"I'll listen to him," Zhao Yafu said.
"Cough cough." Yuan Ting said awkwardly, "We're together. Also, when we came to participate in the trial, the patriarch of the Yuan Family told me to discuss important matters with Brother Yu."
"Oh, alright. We'll talk about it when he wakes up." Han Hui said helplessly, "But I really think that it's best for us to work together."
"Let's talk about it later," Zhao Yafu said.
"Oh."
… …
Somewhere in the forbidden area, there was a spacious and bright cave with a huge mural on the wall.
The mural seemed to be carved with a sharp blade.
On the mural, there were streams and rivers. In the dusky sky, there were sparse clouds floating.
The entire mural gave people a strange feeling of desolation, darkness, and loneliness.
After expelling Han Hui and the others, the trial takers from Waning Moon City had taken over this cave. There were a dozen or so youths. Their clothes were of different colors and styles. They clearly came from different families.
They were either sitting quietly or standing, all of them observing the mural.
The cave was completely silent.
Time passed bit by bit.
No one knew how much time had passed. It could be an instant, or it could be a lifetime.
Someone suddenly fell to the ground from a standing position.
WHOOSH!
Bright red blood spurted out of his mouth and flew into the stream in the mural.
Blood began to flow in the stream in the mural.
Then, more youths fell to the ground one after another.
Even more blood poured into the river in the mural, causing the river to give off an incomparably eerie and terrifying feeling.
Then, the clouds in the mural suddenly seemed to come alive.
WHOOSH!
One of the clouds floated out of the mural. It was gray and misty, like a ghost, and drilled into the forehead of a girl who had fallen to the ground.
The girl had already been drained of all her blood and turned into a shriveled corpse.
But all of a sudden, she slowly sat up.
She sat on the ground and stared blankly at the mural in front of her.
The girl's eyes were a strange dark green, like fireflies in the middle of the night. Looking at them made people's hearts palpitate.
The girl finally stood up and continued to stare at the mural.
WHOOSH!
In the mural, a stream of blood suddenly flew out and was swallowed by the young girl.
The blood was not bright red. Instead, it was dark green, just like her eyes.
Her shriveled body quickly became plump and emitted a faint luster, as if it had been filled with air. Unexpectedly, it was even more beautiful and bewitching than before.
Suddenly, she seemed to have sensed something and frowned slightly.
Peng!
Far away from the cave, the pearls that corresponded to the mirage water curtain silently turned into dust.
The girl waved her hand and pulled it.
Gray clouds flew out of the mural and entered the bodies of the youths who had fallen to the ground.
At the same time, streams of green blood also shot out and merged with the youths.
Then, seven youths came back to life one after another.
The seven young men and women seemed to be her followers and guards. They spread out and silently stood behind her.
WHOOSH!
A wisp of green flame flew out of the girl's fingertip and fell on the dead youths who hadn't stood up yet.
The shriveled corpses that had lost their blood were instantly ignited.
Before long, they were burned to ashes, leaving no trace behind.
At first, the girl's eyes were empty and lifeless.
However, as she did these things one step at a time, her eyes gradually became more and more lively.
She looked at the mural in the cave with some nostalgia and disgust.
In the mural, the streams were still there, but not a single cloud was left.
She suddenly walked out of the cave.
Like puppets, the other seven followed her in silence.
