Hearing Zhang Chenglong's words, the elder frowned in confusion.
The ancestor said that if he meets Zhang Mengyue's descendants, he will not forgive them.
If he kills Zhang Chenglong, he will only feel satisfied. Why would he regret it?
He frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Hehe, I came with the Mark of the Moon."
Zhang Chenglong chuckled. Between his brows, a crescent moon materialized. It was holy, pure, and flawless.
Instantly, the entire palace shook. Rays of light shot into the sky and broke through the clouds.
After that, the sun and the moon appeared. Holy light shone down, making Zhang Chenglong look like a Moon God who had descended to the mortal world, transcending all living beings.
In the next second, the phenomenon disappeared. Only the crescent moon remained between Zhang Chenglong's brows.
This stunned the elder. Other than shock in his eyes, there was excitement.
The mark can be faked, but the Sun and Moon cannot be faked. Only with the Mark of the Moon can it be activated!
In other words, the treasure that has been missing for 30,000 years is inside Zhang Chenglong's body!
"Now you understand why I said you will regret it."
Zhang Chenglong softly grinned. The crescent moon between his brows was soft, bright, and holy.
"The Mark of the Moon was stolen by Zhang Mengyue."
The elder stared at Zhang Chenglong. There was anger, joy, and helplessness.
"She did steal it. But I think she had her reasons." Zhang Chenglong erased the mark.
"What reasons?" The elder didn't believe him.
"Based on what you said, she is the saintess of the Moon Hall and the next Leader."
Zhang Chenglong said softly, "If she didn't have her reasons, why would she steal the Mark of the Moon? That makes no sense. "
"That's right. To control the Mark of the Moon, one only needs to wait patiently. There is no need to steal."
Ling Xian nodded, agreeing with Zhang Chenglong.
This silenced the elder. He had nothing to say.
"Plus, the purpose of my trip is to return the Mark of the Moon."
Zhang Chenglong's expression was serious as he said in a low voice, "This is her last wish. This proves that she had her reasons for stealing the Mark of the Moon. Or else why would she ask her descendants to return it?"
Hearing this, the elder was startled. Then, he became excited.
The Mark of the Moon was not only a treasure, it was also the spiritual symbol of the Moon Hall. Everyone from the Moon Hall wants to find this treasure.
Unfortunately, after more than 30,000 years, not to mention finding it, there wasn't even a single clue.
At this moment, hearing that Zhang Chenglong wanted to return the Mark of the Moon, how could the elder not be excited?
He asked in a trembling voice, "Is this true?"
"I don't dare to go against the Old Ancestor's wishes."
"The reason why it has been delayed for more than thirty thousand years is because the ancestor set up a restriction."
"My Zhang Clan only has a single descendant. Every time the next generation is born, the Moon Mark will automatically enter the body, but it will not appear."
"Only when I break through to realm six will the moon mark appear, and only then will I know the ancestor's last wish."
"Speaking of which, it's a little shameful. In the past thirty thousand years, our Zhang family has never produced a sixth realm cultivator. Thus, no one has ever known of Yue Hen and the ancestor's final wishes."
"I only broke through to the sixth realm not too long ago. After learning of the Patriarch's final wishes, I immediately came here."
Zhang Chenglong's expression was solemn, without a trace of falsehood.
Moreover, his action of revealing the moon mark had already proven his attitude.
Therefore, Ling Xian smiled and the way he looked at Zhang Chenglong softened.
Perhaps his talent and cultivation were lacking, but his character was very good.
The elder smiled as well. At the same time, he was a little ashamed.
The Moon Mark was a legendary treasure. In the entire Planet of Bei Dou, it was one of the best. Who wouldn't want it?
Yet Zhang Mengyue left behind a final wish and Zhang Chenglong was willing to return it. Naturally, this made the elder feel ashamed.
"I have gauged the heart of a gentleman with my own yardstick."
The elder's face was burning hot and there was no longer any anger.
Before, he didn't dare to make a move against Zhang Chenglong because of Ling Xian's prowess. But now, he really wasn't going to make a move.
Though it had dragged on for more than thirty thousand years, it had proven that Zhang Mengyue had her reasons and was understandable.
"Not bad, you didn't embarrass your ancestor."
Ling Xian looked at Zhang Chenglong softly like he was looking at a younger generation.
There was nothing wrong with this. He was the apprentice of the Immortal of Alchemy, the same generation as the Immortal of Alchemy's sons. Zhang Chenglong, on the other hand, was the Immortal of Alchemy's 62nd generation great-great-grandson.
"Hehe, you are flattering me."
Zhang Chenglong scratched his head in embarrassment, thinking that the ancestor Ling Xian was talking about was Zhang Mengyue.
He didn't know that he was talking about the Immortal of Alchemy, Liao Cang Qiong, the almighty being who shocked history!
"Don't call me elder, call me …"
Ling Xian was troubled. Calling him elder was too distant and calling him elder brother was inappropriate.
After all, he was the apprentice of the Immortal of Alchemy. If Zhang Chenglong called him elder brother, wouldn't that mess up the seniority?
However, he couldn't think of any other way to address him. Ignoring the seniority, he said, "If you don't mind, then call me elder brother."
Hearing this, Zhang Chenglong was surprised and ecstatic. Ling Xian was a powerhouse of the seventh level. How could he dislike him?
Therefore, he chuckled, "Then I won't be polite, elder brother."
"Okay, I will give you a gift later."
Ling Xian grinned, "Now, let's finish what happened with the Mark of the Moon."
"Okay."
Zhang Chenglong was full of smiles and shifted his gaze towards the elder, "Supreme Headmaster, why don't you take out the Mark of the Moon."
"Can't you take it out yourself?" The elder was startled.
"I cannot. My ancestor said that other than controlling the Mark of the Moon, nobody can take it out."
Zhang Chenglong shook his head, "Even if you kill me, you won't get the Mark of the Moon."
Hearing this, the elder's expression turned serious. He formed a hand seal with both hands.
However, the moment it formed, he let go of his hands and muttered to himself, "It should be done like this. No, no, it should be done like this."
Hearing this, Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled. He didn't think the elder would forget how to cast a spell.
"I have embarrassed myself before you. After I lost the Mark of the Moon, I never had the chance to use it again. Therefore, I didn't study it seriously."
The elder smiled awkwardly. After thinking about it, he finally formed the correct hand seal.
Instantly, the Mark of the Moon appeared between Zhang Chenglong's brows. It was showing signs of breaking out of his body. But in the end, it calmed down.
This startled the elder. Zhang Chenglong was a little startled as well. He didn't think the Mark of the Moon could not leave his body.
"Could it be that I didn't train well enough?"
The elder frowned. Then, he used all his strength to summon the Mark of the Moon out of his body.
However, there wasn't even a sign that it was going to break out of his body.
"What is going on? Could it be that the technique lost its effect? "
The elder's brows were tightly locked together. Unwilling to give up, he continued to summon the Mark of the Moon. But the result was the same. In the end, the Mark of the Moon no longer appeared.
Not only was the elder confused, but Zhang Chenglong was confused as well.
Only Ling Xian had guessed the reason.
The Mark of the Moon has been inside the Zhang Clan for more than 30,000 years. If the Zhang Clan had normal blood, then it wouldn't be a big deal. But the Zhang Clan had the blood of a real immortal!
It was the most miraculous blood in the world.
No matter who it was, even if it was a normal person, after becoming an immortal, their blood would become extremely powerful and would benefit their descendants.
This was why the descendants of a real immortal Clan could look down on those of the same level.
Perhaps the Zhang Clan had no intention of letting the Mark of the Moon recognize them as its owner. But the power of the immortal Bloodline and the long time they've been here will make the Mark of the Moon recognize them as its owner!
