Su Yan, who had a quiet and gentle temperament, had a worried look in the depths of her clear eyes.
Standing in front of a group of trial takers from the Su Clan, she looked like a green tulip, elegant, dignified, and charming.
Despite her young age, she already had the bearing of a noble family. She was bound to become a dazzling figure in the empire in the future.
Whenever he faced her, Yu Yuan couldn't help but think of another person with whom he had many emotional entanglements in his previous life.
Because of their similar appearances, even though he didn't like her identity as a member of the Su Clan, he still found it hard to view her as an enemy.
At this moment, seeing the panic and worry on Su Yan's face, Yu Yuan felt a pang in his heart.
"Outsiders? Outsiders have entered the forbidden area? "
Yuan Ting's face instantly turned pale, and his shoulders trembled as he spoke.
He wasn't the only one.
The other trial takers from Dark Moon City, such as Zhao Yafu and Yu Feifei, also looked very uneasy.
They had all heard some old stories from their seniors before they came.
The trial in the forbidden area of the Fallen Moons was held by the empire.
During the trial, no one was allowed to enter.
The entrance to the forbidden area was also guarded by powerful experts to prevent any accidents.
However, in the history of the forbidden area of the Fallen Moons, outsiders had indeed sneaked into the forbidden area.
Every time, the participants of the trial in the forbidden area would be brutally murdered!
If they had discovered the intruders in time and retreated early, the massacre would have been under control, and there would have been many survivors.
However, if they had discovered the intruders too late, or if the intruders were too powerful, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
According to the legends, a powerful expert from the Red Sun Empire had secretly hidden somewhere in the forbidden area. Soon after the trial began, he suddenly showed up and slaughtered all the trial takers in that area.
After that, he swaggered off.
His name was Zhou Cangmin, who was now the state preceptor of the Red Sun Empire and at the Soul Wander stage.
Zhou Cangmin, the butcher, was regarded as the most powerful enemy of the Silver Moon Empire. All of the cultivators in the empire wanted to kill him one day.
After all, the trial takers were young elites from the five major clans and seven cities.
Unfortunately, they were all killed in one fell swoop!
Back then, Zhou Cangmin had only just entered the Yin Soul stage. After killing all of the trial takers, he had used a secret treasure to escape from the encirclement of the powerful experts of the empire.
Before he left, he left behind a sentence.
I travel alone for thousands of miles, there is no need to send me off.
To this day, this sentence was regarded as a great humiliation by the Empire.
After so many years, Zhou Cangmin had already become the Scarlet Sun Empire's Imperial Preceptor, with a middle-stage Soul Traversing Realm cultivation!
Moreover, he had won the favor of the Primal Yang Sect. The Primal Yang Sect had made it very clear that the spirit incantations Zhou Cangmin cultivated were of the same origin as the Primal Yang Sect.
The Primal Yang Sect had reserved an elder seat for him. When he succeeded in condensing his Sun Spirit, he could return to the sect at any time.
As for the Primal Yang Sect, it was one of the three great sects of the Tianyuan Continent. It was the peak cultivation sect in Haoran!
Because of this, all the practitioners in the Silver Moon Empire could do nothing to Zhou Cangmin, even though they saw him as their mortal enemy.
— He was still living a carefree life.
With his talent, his relationship with the Primal Yang Sect, and his current cultivation base, he could have left the Scarlet Sun Empire long ago and gone to the Primal Yang Sect to cultivate.
It was only because the emperor of the Scarlet Sun Empire had done him a favor that he was willing to stay in the Scarlet Sun Empire.
After learning that outsiders had infiltrated the Silver Moon Empire, all the trial takers thought of Zhou Cangmin's massacre back then. Who wouldn't be on tenterhooks?
"Are you sure that the people of the Li Family and the Su Family didn't kill each other, but were killed by outsiders?" Yu Yuan's expression was cold as he seriously sought confirmation.
Su Yan nodded slightly. "I'm absolutely sure."
"Good." Yu Yuan chose to believe her at the first moment. "I'll lead the way. Let's go back to see Li Yu."
Then, without another word, he decisively turned around and returned the way he had come.
Su Yan looked at his back, then looked at the other people in Dark Moon City who were still in great fear. A strange feeling suddenly rose in her heart.
After learning that a great calamity had occurred, the calmness, calmness, and clarity that Yu Yuan displayed were far too different from ordinary people.
Was this really the young master of the Yu Family who had been muddle-headed for the past seventeen years?
…
"Hmm? Why are you back?"
The Li Family clansmen first saw Yu Yuan, then saw Su Yan leading the Su Family clansmen. "Miss Su Yan! The Su Family clansmen! "
He cried out involuntarily.
The acupoints all over Li Yu's body seemed to shine brightly in an instant.
In just a moment, he stood up, and everything returned to normal.
The white mist of spiritual Qi that surrounded him also suddenly dissipated.
"What's the matter?"
He raised his head and looked at Su Yan, his eyes filled with curiosity.
Even if he didn't want to investigate this young lady of the Su Family, there were too many people who had told him about her.
After all, she was one of the few people in the empire who could be mentioned in the same breath as him.
"Two people from your Li Family have gone missing. I've seen them. They're dead."
Su Yan's first words caused the expressions of all the Li Family clansmen to change.
Li Yu frowned slightly and said, "Did an outsider come in?"
In Dark Moon City, Yu Yuan couldn't help but praise inwardly. None of the five people who were recognized as the strongest in the empire's younger generation were mediocre.
Li Yu usually didn't speak. He was cold and indifferent, but his mind was clearly very sharp.
Just from Su Yan's words, he immediately determined that an outsider had broken in and attacked his family members.
"Yes, an outsider came in. People from your Li Family and my Su Family have died." Su Yan didn't explain in detail. She knew that Li Yu wouldn't misunderstand. When dealing with smart people, there wouldn't be low-level verbal problems. "The situation isn't clear. We'd better stick together."
Li Yu nodded. "Yu Yuan, you guys stay here too. Don't go too far for now."
"Okay." Yu Yuan agreed.
"How about this? All of you stay here for now." Li Yu took on the heavy responsibility. "I'll go outside and wander around. If I run into other teams, tell them to come find you and meet up with you."
"Brother Yu! If an outsider really did come in, you'll be their primary target! "The Li Family members grew anxious.
"I know." Li Yu's expression didn't change. "Someone has to go out and spread the news. Don't worry. I'll find a Mirage Pearl and communicate with my aunt and the people outside. Since we know that an outsider has come, then the most important thing is to let them know. "
"That's right." Su Yan agreed. "An outsider who dares to break in is definitely strong enough to crush everyone in the trial. We won't be a match for them alone. Only when the empire knows and responds immediately can we escape safely. "
"You guys stay here." Li Yu climbed up alone.
Only he knew about the existence of the Mirage Pearls and knew a secret method to find them and contact his aunt and the old general outside with the help of a Mirage Pearl.
If they really ran into an outsider, as the strongest, he might have a chance of survival if he focused on escaping.
Others would only expose his whereabouts, and he would only be a burden.
"He's still responsible."
Yu Yuan commented softly as he watched Li Yu's back gradually turn cold and felt the heavy and depressed hearts of everyone at the bottom of the pit.
The Li Family clansmen all glared at him.
Knowing that a powerful enemy had invaded, Li Yu dared to take the risk alone to seek a chance of survival for everyone. Was this just being responsible?
If he wasn't careful, Li Yu might be in a desperate situation where he would be chased and killed by the outsiders.
He was the true future of the empire!
"Yu Yuan, I hope that we can put aside our prejudices and work together to get through this calamity." Su Yan bowed to him seriously and said sincerely, "Let's talk about the conflicts between clans later. Let's find a way to survive first."
Yu Yuan chuckled and nodded, "I know what to do."
"Good." Su Yan was relieved.
Many members of the Li Family and the Su Family were confused by their conversation.
Li Yu was the same.
Why did Su Yan and Li Yu only talk to Yu Yuan?
Wasn't Yuan Ting the leader of Dark Moon City? Wasn't Zhao Yafu the person with the highest cultivation base?
What was strange was that Yuan Ting and Zhao Yafu didn't object to this, nor did they feel neglected.
It seemed that they had tacitly agreed in their hearts.
They tacitly agreed that Yu Yuan was the real decision-maker of Dark Moon City.
