When he saw the large door, Xu Changchuan was overjoyed. This was one of the entrances to the Moonwatching Clan, and also the main gate of the Moon Clan.
As long as he passed through this gate, he could reclaim everything that belonged to him. But this door was not so easy to get through.
"Young master, are you the one?"
As soon as Long Chen and the others arrived, a Heavenly Venerable shouted in surprise, arriving before the others arrived.
"Uncle Yun, is that you?"
Xu Changchuan was both surprised and delighted to see the man. This man was also a Heavenly Venerable who had cared for him since childhood, and a peer of the same generation as him.
"Great, don't go in. It's full of traps inside." The Heavenly Venerable expert known as Uncle Yun stepped forward and spoke before everyone.
"Just as I thought."
Xu Changchuan's heart tightened. Just as he expected, a trap had probably already been set up inside.
"Come with me quickly, I'll take you to a safe place." Uncle Yun grabbed Xu Changchuan's arm, and his face suddenly changed drastically.
"Uncle Yun, ..."
The moment Uncle Yun grabbed him, a terrifying power instantly enveloped him. At that moment, he saw the smile at the corner of Uncle Yun's mouth, and finally understood that Uncle Yun had also been bribed.
"Die!"
Uncle Yun sneered, and a violent surge of power surged into Xu Changchuan's body, determined to burst him apart.
"Pfft"
But just then, the cold wooden staff pierced through his back, and the body of the Celestial Venerable expert exploded with a thunderous crash.
"I knew you had a problem. If you truly wanted to save someone, you would have informed the clan leader long ago. Why wait here for a rabbit?" Long Chen sneered.
Uncle Yun appeared so suddenly that Long Chen was momentarily stunned, but then sensed the intense fluctuations of power within him, sensing danger and immediately notifying Uncle Huai to act.
Everything happened too suddenly. Fortunately, Long Chen reacted quickly, or Xu Changchuan would have been killed by someone he trusted.
"So vicious!"
Xu Changchuan was both shocked and furious. He hadn't expected Uncle Yun to betray him, and the Heavenly Venerable beside him was also stunned. He still hadn't processed what was going on.
"Charge in,"
Long Chen ordered.
"Brother Long, you mustn't!"
Xu Changchuan was shocked. Traps had already been set outside—wasn't this already a den of dragons and tigers? If he went in, he would never come back.
Long Chen ignored Xu Changchuan's opinion. Xia Chen had already piloted the flying boat, passing straight through the black gate.
As the flying boat passed through the gate, the dark world instantly brightened, a bright moon hung high in the sky, its gentle divine radiance illuminating every corner.
It was the first time Long Chen and the others saw the moon's brilliance—it was like the sun, able to illuminate an entire world. Moreover, the light in this world was so soft, as if they had entered a tranquil sacred place.
However, within this sacred land, a fierce killing intent shattered her peace.
"Anyone who dares to trespass into the Moonwatching Clan will be wiped out completely, not a single one spared." A Heavenly Venerable roared in anger.
Countless fierce auras surged, and at once, more than a dozen Heavenly Venerables appeared, along with countless Earth Venerables. The piercing alarms echoed through the world, deafening.
"Everyone, stop! I'm Xu Changchuan."
Xu Changchuan shouted, but amid the piercing alarm, even he couldn't hear his own shout. At that moment, he understood the enemy was fully prepared.
They didn't give him a chance to call for help at all. The alarm sounded as a kind of spatial restriction. It must have been that the moment Uncle Yun discovered them, he sent a signal inside and activated the restriction.
"Rumble...
Countless attacks converged and charged straight at Long Chen and the others. Clearly, these people knew who they were and gave them no chance to speak.
In this way, even if they later realize they killed the wrong person, it can still be called manslaughter. Even if responsibility is pursued, everyone will share the blame. Even if the clan leader candidate is killed, it won't really matter.
Attacked by so many people at once, Xu Changchuan had only one thought: it's over. Even the Heavenly Venerable beside him closed his eyes. No one could withstand such an attack.
"Boom boom boom...
At that moment, the earth exploded, endless tree roots breaking through the earth, intertwining in the void to form wooden walls.
The tree roots were densely packed, layered and instantly set up hundreds of defenses—Uncle Huai had made his move.
With a series of explosions, countless tree roots shattered into dust, and the wooden walls shattered one after another, unable to withstand the attacks of so many powerful beings.
Soon, a terrifying shockwave reached the flying boat. Uncle Huai shouted sharply, swinging his wooden staff fiercely. With a thunderous explosion, all attacks were shattered by his strike.
Amidst the flying runes, Uncle Huai stood before everyone like a god, blocking that deadly strike.
Uncle Huai is a powerful member of the Undying Clan. Offense isn't his strong suit, but defense is their specialty.
He set up wooden walls, unleashing endless power. By the time their attacks reached Long Chen and the others, they were already at the end of their strength.
Uncle Huai defended and attacked with ease, easily blocking the attacks of the Moonwatching Clan's powerhouses. Xu Changchuan nearly shouted in excitement at the sight.
At this moment, the Celestial Venerables on the other side were also stunned. They had previously seen the footage sent by Uncle Yun, and had only seen a Celestial Venerable and a group of young people. How could such a terrifying existence have been provoked?
"Friends of the Undying Clan, what brings you to the Moonwatching Clan? If you don't make things clear, I'm afraid I won't let you go. At
that moment, a voice filled with authority rang out, endless echoes echoing through heaven and earth. As the void twisted, a man as tall as an iron tower appeared.
As soon as that person appeared, the terrifying pressure made it hard for Long Chen and the others to breathe. Though both were Heavenly Venerable experts, his aura was far stronger than others'.
"Patriarch, I finally get to see you." Seeing that towering man, Xu Changchuan was so moved that tears streamed down his face, choking back tears as he rushed out.
"Changchuan, what's going on?" The tower-like man saw Xu Changchuan and a look of shock appeared on his face.
"Clan leader, you must stand up for Changchuan. Someone in the family is framing him, trying to kill him and prevent him from competing for the position of clan successor." Xu Changchuan shouted excitedly.
When Xu Changchuan said this, many of the Moonwatching Clan experts present changed their expressions, their eyes filled with terror.
The patriarch of the Moonwatching Clan's face darkened, murderous intent surging in his eyes as he swept his gaze over the crowd. They immediately lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.
At that moment, the chief of the Moonwatching Clan still didn't understand what was going on? He clenched his fists in anger, but instead of losing his temper, he looked at Uncle Huai, cupped his fists, and said,
"Thank you to the friends of the Undying Clan for escorting my child. The Moonwatching Clan will surely reward you handsomely."
"You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank me, thank my master. He was the one who made me take action."
Uncle Huai said calmly, then retreated behind Long Chen, who looked at the leader of the Moonwatching Clan.
"Human?"
When he saw Long Chen and the others, the leader of the Moonwatching Clan immediately frowned, a look of displeasure on his face, clearly disliking the human race. This made Long Chen's heart tighten slightly. Could the benefits be wasted?
