Frigid winds howled across the boundless wilderness.
At some point in time, snow had started to fall, causing the temperature in the forbidden area to plummet.
Dense and violent spiritual Qi poured into the forbidden area from the depths of the forbidden area, which the Silver Moon Empire had deemed as a trial ground.
Great changes had occurred in the Fallen Moon Forbidden Area.
The chaos of spiritual energy that was supposed to happen two months after the trial was brought forward.
As for the vast majority of people, they were still kept in the dark.
"Great changes are coming."
Li Yu from the Li Clan clenched a purple crystal ball in his right hand as he stared at the specks of green light within it.
A trial taker from Waning Moon City was lying at his feet.
Just like Zhu Huan and Lou Ling, that trial taker had also been possessed by a deviant soul, which had attempted to kill him.
In the end, he had emerged victorious.
Even the outsider souls and discarnate souls were imprisoned in the purple crystal ball.
"Unfortunately, I haven't reached the Subtle realm yet," Li Yu said regretfully. "I still can't fully unleash the power of the Soul-sacrificing Orb."
The purple crystal ball in his hand was called the Soul-sacrificing Orb, and it was a powerful spiritual tool that could both attack and defend.
The Soul-sacrificing Orb could refine souls, and it was effective against Yin Gods and Soul Wanderers.
Because of this, the Soul-sacrificing Orb had been able to see through the soul of the trial taker as soon as it got close to Li Yu.
As the strongest young man in the empire and the only Profound Breakthrough realm cultivator in the forbidden area, Li Yu had single-handedly killed that man.
The deviant soul had tried to escape, but it had been imprisoned by the Soul-sacrificing Orb, unable to break free.
If Li Yu had reached the Subtle realm, he might have been able to infuse his soul awareness into the Soul-sacrificing Orb and obtain the memories of the deviant soul from the specks of green light.
"Since I can't fully unleash the power of the Soul-sacrificing Orb, I can only …"
He could only watch as the specks of green light were refined by the Soul-sacrificing Orb and turned into wisps of soul power that fused into the Soul-sacrificing Orb.
"I have to return now."
Li Yu sighed softly as he suddenly sped up and dashed across the wilderness like a bolt of lightning.
Behind him, surging and raging spiritual energy came from the depths of the forbidden land, whistling like a frigid wind.
The violent spiritual aura was bound to drown this last paradise in a very short period of time.
It wouldn't be long before this area that the Silver Moon Empire had opened up as a training ground would fall into a state of spiritual energy turbulence.
At that time, even with or without the mirage water screen, no one would be able to see through the mysteries inside.
The cultivators from the five great clans and seven cities participating in the trial would have a hard time surviving if their cultivation base was low. It would be best for them to leave as soon as possible.
"I hope that after I leave, my clansmen won't encounter any similar invaders."
When Li Yu returned, he was secretly worried.
If he didn't have the Soul Sacrifice Orb, the trial taker from Waning Moon City might not have been able to win in the end.
Without him, wouldn't the Li Clan suffer heavy casualties if they encountered such intruders in the depths of the pit?
…
The female general of the Empire, Li Yuchan, faced the harsh astral winds and entered the depths of the forbidden grounds.
Her face was pale. It was obvious that she had exhausted too much of her soul power.
Clusters of green ghostfire floated in the air five kilometers behind her.
The ghostfire were like green eyes and swaying lanterns in the air, chasing after her.
The soul blades she released were restrained by the clusters of green ghostfire and the sudden cold of the world.
On the other hand, the green ghostfire seemed to grow stronger and stronger.
It was already impossible for her to return to the Empire. She could only take the risk and enter the most terrifying place to have a chance of survival.
"Waning Moon City's Feng Xin has been possessed by a foreign entity, and it's not from the Scarlet Sun Empire."
At her cultivation level, she naturally knew who her opponent was. She also determined that the person who possessed Feng Xin and fought with her wasn't an enemy of the Empire.
"Recently, the days have become shorter and shorter, and the nights are too long."
She looked at the night sky and felt that the days would pass in a moment. The night with the cold moon hanging high in the sky seemed to last forever.
Every time Feng Xin, or the Abomination that possessed Feng Xin, attacked her, it was always at night.
During the day, Feng Xin's aura was still there, but it followed her from a distance and didn't attack her madly.
"What kind of foreign entity is it? She was still growing stronger. With each passing day, she would become a little stronger. The Empire should've sensed something was wrong. Why hasn't anyone entered? "
Li Yuchan had many questions in her heart, but she still couldn't find an answer.
Finally, one day, she stepped into the forbidden land of Fallen Moon in another area. Strangely, she found that the pressure and shadow that enveloped her from Feng Xin seemed to have disappeared.
Feng Xin didn't seem to continue the pursuit.
However, she was exhausted and didn't have the strength to look back.
"I only hope that the other trial takers didn't encounter such an opponent. Otherwise, they'll probably be wiped out," Li Yuchan thought bitterly.
She didn't know that the strongest Feng Xin was taking care of her.
The seven people guarding her were ordered by her to deal with the juniors participating in the trial.
How could a mere Golden Hall realm junior be worthy of her personal attack?
… …
One figure after another walked out of the pit and stood in the open field or in the stone caves that were slightly below.
The Li Family, the Su Family, the Lin Family, and the trial takers of Cold Moon City no longer guarded the hole and walked out.
The reason for this was because Zhan Tianxiang had said Yu Yuan's guess.
The invaders wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop!
If it was before, no one would believe Yu Yuan's guess at all.
But it was different now.
Yan Lu, Su Yan, Zhan Tianxiang, and Lin Zhuyun chose to believe Yu Yuan's guess. They believed that the strange souls were driving them to gather and then kill them all in one fell swoop.
Under such circumstances, if they continued to stay in the hole, wouldn't they be letting the invaders catch them like turtles in a jar?
"Yu Yuan knew this, but he led the people of Dark Moon City up here without warning us. What is his intention?" Li Yuan of the Li Family complained to Zhan Tianxiang and Han Hui after leading his clansmen up here, "He's planning to sacrifice us so that he can escape with the people of Dark Moon City when he's no match for them?"
Han Hui didn't answer.
Zhan Tianxiang coughed and said, "Yu Yuan is worried that no one will believe his words."
He knew that Li Yuan's accusation was the truth.
Yu Yuan had planned to sacrifice the others and take the opportunity to escape.
If he hadn't shamelessly followed, he probably wouldn't have known the truth.
"You seem to be very dissatisfied with me."
After consuming a Spirit Recovery Pill, Yu Yuan's mind had recovered to its peak condition, and her heavenly soul had become even more refined. She walked out of the crater and said, "If you're dissatisfied, so be it. We've decided to withdraw from the trial. Also, we won't continue to wait here. We'll leave immediately. "
Behind him, everyone from Dark Moon City was ready to go.
"Withdraw?" Li Yuan was stunned.
"If we don't leave, are we going to wait for death here?" Yu Yuan looked at him like he was looking at an idiot. "The invaders have been here for so long, and Li Yu has been gone for so long, but the empire hasn't done anything. What does this mean? "
"What does it mean?" Li Yuan said.
"It means that something must have happened to the people who were spying on us." Yu Yuan sneered. "And the various eyes hidden in the forbidden area are definitely all broken. If that's not the case, then it's even worse. "
"Maybe the guards and generals at the entrance of the forbidden area are all dead."
