Chapter 405 A Barren Wasteland



At the foot of Tian Shen Mountain, there was only desolation.

Not far away, there are houses built of piled stones.

But there was no one there. Seeing this, Liu Yue's heart tightened.

They rushed into the cave.

Jun Feiran frowned upon seeing this scene, if he remembered correctly.

Back then, the clan leader supported Fei Yan, and there were quite a few people who followed him.

And they are all elites!

Moreover, the lifespan of a Ghost Clan cultivator is at least several hundred years, although more than three hundred years have passed.

But they shouldn't all have died out! Besides, it was a clan; even if things had gone badly, they should have left some descendants.

But when Jun Feiran released his divine sense, he found that, apart from wild beasts, there was no sign of life in the surrounding area.

Jun Feiran quickly followed.

The huge cave was desolate.

Liuyue walked to a rock wall and parted the vines that were covering it.

A sharp pebble cut her palm, and blood dripped out.

"Little girl."

Jun Feiran's heart tightened.

Ke Jun Liuyue acted as if she hadn't seen anything and desperately tried to pry away the vines and stones on top.

Finally, the rock face itself was revealed, with scratches from the stone.

Jun Feiran walked closer and saw that it was the shape of a rabbit, drawn with very simple lines, and looked very childish.

It's clear that the person who drew this rabbit is very young.

A thought suddenly flashed through Jun Feiran's mind, and he looked at Jun Liuyue in shock.

“This is my drawing, and it’s still here, which proves that… everything that happened wasn’t fake. But what about Grandpa Clan Chief?”

Tears involuntarily streamed down my face.

She wasn't someone who liked to cry. Even when she was bullied by the people of the temple, called a bastard, and hurled all sorts of nasty insults at them, she never cried.

Because she knew that she needed to become stronger, and that her grandfather, the clan chief, was still waiting for her.

But she's back, and what about Grandpa Chief...?

"Grandpa, I'm back. Where are you? Didn't you say you were going to wait for me to come back and save you?" Liu Yue wiped away the wet tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve.

Blood dripped from his finger, drop by drop.

The rabbit was stained with bright red blood.

Liu Yue did not notice a strange light flashing across the stone.

"Girl."

From above, the old man's kind voice rang out, "You're all grown up now, and you still like to cry? Aren't you ashamed?"

Liu Yue stepped back, and a phantom figure appeared in mid-air—it was her grandfather, the clan chief.

The vague outline in my memory appeared clearly before my eyes.

"Grandpa Chief, where are you? Little A-Yue is back."

Seeing the phantom in mid-air, tears almost burst out.

She imagined rushing into her grandfather's arms, just like when she was a child.

She cried uncontrollably, expressing her grievances.

Back then, she would do this whenever she fell.

The clan elder comforted her patiently, saying, "Our little A-Yue is so brave."

The warm embrace of my memory has turned into a phantom; all that remains before me is a cold, hard wall.

"Our little A-Yue is really amazing, she's already at the Profound Emperor Realm. She must have suffered a lot." The clan leader's eyes were full of heartache.

Others might only think she's powerful and arrogant, but in the clan leader's eyes, she'll always be that little girl who cries when she falls down.

Along the way, at such a young age, he has already cultivated to the Xuan Emperor Realm. The hardships he has endured are unimaginable to the clan leader, who feels nothing but heartache.

If that incident hadn't happened back then.

This little girl was destined to grow up carefree, just like any other child, but she was born burdened with the grudges between two clans.

This life is destined to be anything but easy.

"Grandpa knew it all along, our little A-Yue is the most amazing child."

"Grandpa Clan Chief, you still haven't told me why you're like this? Where is your true form? What should I do?" Liu Yue said anxiously.

"Many things happened after you left the Ghost Realm."

The clan chief sighed, "I left behind this wisp of divine consciousness to wait for you. Three hundred years... I thought I would never see you again. If I never saw you again, that would be fine too. But I never expected... you would come back."

"Tell me, what exactly happened?" Liu Yue's tears had dried, and she raised her hand to wipe them away, looking firmly at the clan leader.

I had already guessed what was going on.

But she dared not think any further.

"Back then, after Emperor Qing brought you back to the temple, the people from the temple took you with them..."

A group of men in black wearing ghost masks appeared and forcibly entered the forbidden area.

They plundered indiscriminately, destroying all the hard work that the demon people had put into building over so many years, and even taking the children.

Jun Feiyan, the clan leader, and some high-ranking ghosts had no choice but to fight back and relocate the weaker ghosts.

These people were not only brutal, but also extremely powerful! Jun Feiyan, who was already weak, was no match for them at all.

During her battle with the man in black named Mo Que, Jun Feiyan was defeated and died by Mo Que's sword.

When the clan leader saw this, it was too late to save Jun Feiyan.

In her final moments, Jun Feiyan forcibly mobilized her profound energy and pulled Mo Que into a self-destruction.

The clan leader understood Jun Feiyan's intention; she wanted to buy time.

The clan chief had no choice but to transfer these people with heavy heart and seal the ghost clan people in a forbidden area.

After being sealed, these demons were in a state of suspended animation, no longer breathing, and thus escaped death.

The elder then led the man in black to another location.

After leaving behind a wisp of his divine consciousness, he perished together with the man in black.
