Chapter 1514: The Blood Moon Rises

Upon hearing this, Wu Tian was furious.

But he knew that two fists were no match for eight hands, so he could only suppress the hatred in his heart.

He was, after all, the Third Elder of the Desolate Hall. Coming to Warm Wine City, he had suffered such an unprecedented humiliation.

This was undoubtedly a serious provocation to the Desolate Hall.

He would return to the sect and report this matter, making sure these four individuals understood the consequences of offending the Desolate Hall.

Wu Tian stood up and snorted coldly, "Hmph, you don’t know what’s good for you. I will return to the Desolate Hall and report this matter truthfully to the Sect Master!"

Upon hearing this, the black-clad man’s expression turned icy.

"Get out, get out! Don’t stand here ruining our mood, disturbing our brothers’ drinking!"

The toad directly hurled a wine jug at him.

"Bang!"

The wine jug shattered into pieces, and the wine and shards shot toward Wu Tian.

"Get as far away from me as your thoughts can take you!" the toad roared, his mouth wide open.

Wu Tian waved his sleeve, blocking the shards and wine.

He snorted once more and left in a huff.

At this moment, the fury in Wu Tian’s heart was burning fiercely.

Watching Wu Tian’s retreating figure, the snail slowly spat out, "What bad luck."

"It seems this matter won’t be resolved peacefully," Yi Feng said indifferently.

"Boss, why don’t we just go and wipe out the Desolate Hall? They’re too arrogant, daring to cause trouble on our turf!" the toad said indignantly, eager to leap into action.

"Yeah, let’s just cut down the Desolate Hall with a single sword strike. That’ll save us from these buzzing flies," the black-clad man added.

The toad’s eyes widened, as if the black-clad man’s words had struck a chord, awakening some deep-seated instinct.

"Where? Where are the flies?!"

Yi Feng waved his hand and said, "If others don’t provoke us, we won’t provoke them. But if they do, we’ll strike back. I doubt they can stir up much trouble."

"Hmm, the boss makes sense. Come on, let’s keep dancing," the black-clad man laughed heartily.

Soon after, the seductive sounds of pipes and strings filled the air once more.

The singing and dancing girls swayed gracefully as they approached...

...

In stark contrast to the joyful atmosphere of Warm Wine City, Wu Tian’s expression was dark and gloomy.

He returned to the Desolate Hall, entering a vast and desolate great hall.

Deep within the hall, a shadowy figure floated, its true form indistinct.

The shadow was hazy, ethereal, and eerie.

Its pair of crimson eyes was particularly sinister, sending shivers down one’s spine.

"Third Elder, how did your mission go?" A strange, murky voice echoed in Wu Tian’s mind.

Wu Tian quickly bowed and replied, "Reporting to the Sect Master, they refused to join the Desolate Hall. Not only that, they were arrogant, insulted us, and drove me out of Warm Wine City!"

Wu Tian was furious, but in front of the Sect Master, he had to remain cautious at all times.

"This venerable one has divined the heavens. Warm Wine City is a variable, and the source of this variable lies with those four brothers."

The strange, murky voice once again echoed in Wu Tian’s mind.

"Since they cannot be of use to our Desolate Hall, let them be eradicated."

"As you command."

Wu Tian responded respectfully, feeling a surge of satisfaction.

A shadow quietly descended...

The shadow seemed to traverse space, spreading into the outside world.

Across various planets.

The skies were still shrouded in darkness, and the people lived in misery, with despair hanging heavy in the air.

Although the Shadow Pass had been established with the help of Shadow Island, and countless experts had been trained there, the entire world remained shrouded in darkness, as if on the brink of collapse.

This unresolved crisis weighed heavily on everyone, making even breathing feel difficult.

Of course, cultivators from all walks of life did not stop because of this.

They worked hard to protect the mortals, allowing them to survive.

But it was merely survival, with no quality of life.

Yet they all knew.

In such circumstances, this lingering existence couldn’t last much longer. Eventually, everything would collapse.

On this day.

Light suddenly broke through the dark sky.

Just as people thought they were finally seeing the dawn, about to witness the return of daylight, they were stunned to discover.

Hanging in the sky was a crimson blood moon!

Under the glow of the blood moon, the entire world was bathed in a layer of crimson light.

It was an eerie and unsettling crimson, and an ominous premonition rose in everyone’s hearts.

They felt as though something in this world was being quietly absorbed by the blood moon.

But it was just a feeling, with no tangible evidence.

However, within the blood moon, invisible to all, mysterious shadows began to materialize out of thin air...
