"This must be due to the bloodline of a True Immortal."
"Although Master's wife has placed a seal, how tyrannical is Master's bloodline? Even if Moon Scar is unwilling, she can still force him to recognize her as his master, not to mention that she has been here for more than thirty thousand years. "
"Under the subtle influence, Yue Hen must have recognized the bloodline of Master's descendant as his master. I'm afraid even Master's wife didn't expect this."
Ling Xian thought to himself. After a moment of silence, he spoke of his guess.
Of course, he didn't mention the True Immortal Bloodline. He only said that the Moon Scar had acknowledged the Zhang Clan over the years.
This caused the old man to feel as if he was struck by lightning, and he fell into a daze.
The Moon Scar was the treasure of the Moon Hall, and he had finally regained it after losing it with great difficulty. Yet, it acknowledged an outsider as its master. How could he accept this?
This was like a son who had been raised by one's own father, but now acknowledged someone else as his father. No one would be able to accept this!
"Impossible, absolutely impossible."
The old man was in a daze and murmured, "This can't be true. Even the Moon Hall Master can only control the Moon Mark. It's impossible for him to make it recognize him as its master. How can an outsider do it?"
As he spoke, he activated the technique again, attempting to activate the Moon Mark.
In the end, it was like a clay ox entering the sea, without any ripples.
"No, impossible!" The old man roared, almost going mad.
Zhang Chenglong couldn't bear it, but there was nothing he could do.
Not to mention taking out the moon mark, even if he were to commit suicide, he would not let the moon mark leave his body.
"Calm down. Madness won't solve the problem."
Ling Xian frowned slightly. His voice was not loud, but it was like thunder, silencing the elder.
He smiled bitterly and said, "I lost my composure."
"I understand. Anyone would be like you."
Ling Xian consoled, "But since this has already happened, there is nothing you can do even if you go crazy."
"Is it really a foregone conclusion …" The old man's heart was filled with bitterness. He was truly unwilling to accept it.
"From the looks of it, it is indeed a foregone conclusion."
"You've seen Zhang Mengyue's and his attitude. If he wanted to monopolize the moon scar, he wouldn't have paid a visit."
"It can only be said that fate makes a fool out of us. We can't blame anyone."
Ling Xian softly sighed.
"I don't blame anyone, but I want to take out the moon mark, not for myself, but for the Moon Hall to rise."
The old man shook his head and said, "You have seen the decline of the Moon Hall. Only the Moon Scar can restore the Moon Hall to its former glory."
"It can't be taken out. The method to control the moon mark has already lost its effect. No one can deny that."
Ling Xian sighed, "Even riding the dragon cannot take out the Mark of the Moon. Even if one day it can be taken out and the connection is severed, nobody can control it."
"I can't even cut off the connection …" the old man muttered in a low voice. He looked even older, like a candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any time.
"Of course not." Ling Xian softly sighed.
The True Immortal Bloodline was incomparably domineering. Even if Zhang Chenglong cut off the connection, the Moon Scar would not recognize a new master. Even if they were both of the True Immortal Bloodline, it would still be impossible.
"It's all for naught again."
The old man let out a long sigh. He was somewhat unwilling and helpless.
Zhang Chenglong couldn't bear to see this and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I really didn't know this would happen, and there was nothing I could do."
"I don't blame you, and I don't blame you for forming the group first. I can only say that fate makes fools of people."
The old man brandished his hand and bitterly smiled, "Or maybe, the fate between the Moon Hall and the Moon Scar is over."
Hearing this, Zhang Chenglong felt even more guilty. He shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian, "Brother, you are capable and knowledgeable. Do you have a solution?"
"I don't have a way to take out the Mark of the Moon. But I do have a way to make everyone happy." Ling Xian grinned.
"Please tell me." Zhang Chenglong's eyes brightened. The old man's eyes were shining as well.
"You took out the Mark of the Moon to help the Moon Hall rise, not for yourself, right?" Ling Xian looked at the old man.
"That's right. If I do it for myself, then I will die a horrible death!" The old man's expression was serious as he swore an oath.
"There's no need for that. I was just confirming. I didn't mean to disbelieve you."
Ling Xian laughed. At least this proved that the old man really had no selfish motives.
"My heart is open and I am not afraid of God's Trial."
The old man's expression was serious, "Please guide me."
"What do you think about riding the dragon? There is no need to worry about me. Give me your honest opinion. "Ling Xian grinned.
"In all fairness, he is a good seedling for cultivation," said Ye Futian.
"Not only his personality, but his talent is also not bad. He can be considered a Heaven's Favorite."
The old man checked out Zhang Chenglong and saw through his bone age, cultivation level, and talent.
"You are flattering me."
Zhang Chenglong smiled embarrassedly. Before he consumed the medicinal Dan from the Mount Meru, his talent was very low. But now, it could be considered extraordinary. Or else he wouldn't have been able to break through to the sixth level.
"I am not exaggerating." The old man shook his head. His comments were sincere and he wasn't afraid of Ling Xian.
"Then let me ask another question. How does he compare to the best pupil of the Moon Hall?" Ling Xian smiled.
"Of course he is better."
"The Moon Hall has fallen. Even my direct pupil is equivalent to an inner pupil of a first-rate force."
"Not only is his talent better, but his cultivation level is also at the sixth level. Even I and the elders cannot compare to him."
The old man exhaled a long sigh. He suddenly froze and realized what Ling Xian was planning.
"If that's the case, then why don't you take Cheng Long in?"
"His ancestor was the saintess of the Moon Hall. It is only natural for him to return to the Hall. His personality has also been proven, so there is no need to worry about him harming the Hall."
"Most importantly, he has the Mark of the Moon."
Ling Xian continued to smile, "This is the best solution right now. Since I cannot take out the Mark of the Moon, then I might as well take Cheng Long in. This is killing two birds with one stone."
Hearing this, the old man's eyes brightened.
Zhang Chenglong's talent and personality were all very good. Plus with the Mark of the Moon, he was the hope of the Moon Hall!
Therefore, the old man was excited. But remembering the Hall's current situation, his eyes dimmed.
"Your suggestion is good, but … he may not agree."
Hearing this, Ling Xian shook his head and looked at Zhang Chenglong, "Are you willing to join the Hall of the Moon and swear to never betray us?"
"I will listen to you."
Zhang Chenglong chuckled, "If you want me to join, then I will."
"This is your ancestor's responsibility."
"Though your ancestor had his reasons, it is an undeniable fact that he stole the Mark of the Moon. The loss of the Mark of the Moon indirectly led to the decline of the Hall."
"I believe that the spirits of your ancestors in heaven also wish for you to join the Moon Palace and contribute your efforts."
Ling Xian wiped off his smile, "Of course, the decision is up to you. If you don't want to, nobody can force you."
Hearing this, Zhang Chenglong silenced. For the first time, he looked at the word "responsibility".
After some time, he grinned brightly, "You are right. This is my responsibility. I should shoulder this responsibility."
"Very good. You are after all … the descendant of the Heaven's Favorite."
Ling Xian almost blurted it out. The way he looked at Zhang Chenglong softened.
No matter what a man is like, as long as he is responsible and honest, then he is good.
Therefore, Ling Xian was very satisfied with Zhang Chenglong and completely approved of him.
