Chapter 1044: Chapter 635: Epoch Cataclysm (Part 2)

“Alas… Master Turtle has already been extremely benevolent…” Duomu drooped his eyelids, feeling conflicted.

The warmth and cold of human feelings are like drinking water; only the drinker knows if it’s hot or cold.

No concept of time exists in the mountains, as the cold passes, the years go unnoticed.

The villagers were forcibly sent down the mountain, leaving the mountain increasingly lonely.

Having witnessed the humanitarian disasters at the foot of the mountain many times, one becomes gradually numb.

This period was rather leisurely; Lu Yuan and the Undying Giant Turtle had grown somewhat, and with no outsiders on the mountain, the two were allowed to play there.

And the Mo Sect housed many exotic beasts, each occupying its own territory.

The Undying Giant Turtle, with its loud voice, had continuously failed in fights, never winning a single battle, and could only act as Lu Yuan’s lackey, bellowing behind him.

Lu Yuan, though small, had emerged victorious in repeated battles and discovered, ironically, that his presence was conspicuously low!

Such a powerful existence should have been noticed long ago, yet it was as if no one paid attention… even Duomu, his owner, often forgot him.

Moreover, most anomalies had their blood drawn or fur plucked to provide some material.

The Mo Sect raised so many animals naturally for the materials.

Even the turtle shells shed by the Undying Giant Turtle were collected.

Yet, Lu Yuan had never been bled nor plucked, which was indeed a strange matter…

…

The carefree days of punching the Little Phoenix and kicking the Little Cyan Dragon lasted who knows how long before variables arose again.

The weather on the Pangu Continent became increasingly unfavorable, and torrential rains that were rare once in a century became commonplace. The sun too appeared increasingly slanted, as if about to fall below the horizon at any moment.

It was another gloomy and rainy day, the sky seemed to burst open as torrential rain poured down violently.

Duomu returned to his quarters, his face filled with fear and sadness: “Yesterday, a junior brother disappeared. There were signs of struggle in his room, but not much, suggesting he barely resisted before being killed.”

“His soul and body have both dissipated, a sign of being blood sacrificed…”

“What should I do when encountering such an enemy?”

Lu Yuan was shocked to the core!

After the villagers fled Kunlun Mountain, now it was the disciples who vanished, truly terrifying.

The Mo Sect possessed various investigation methods, even highly powerful divination tools.

Yet, nowadays, unable to even find the culprit, everyone was understandably on edge.

And the disciples left at the Mo Sect, though few, were all elites, with the Great Spirit Rhythmer being the minimum standard, often carrying a trace of bloodline power, with divine weapons in their hands.

Of course, the effect of blood-sacrificing a Great Spirit Rhythmer would naturally be better, able to fight ten thousand with ease.

“Wagaga!” The Undying Giant Turtle shouted, seeming to sense its owner’s troubles, signaling him to cheer up.

“Haha, you surely are spirited.”

“Which demon, ignorant of the situation, dares come here searching for food!” Duomu invigorated himself, grasping the Immortal Slaying Sword, loudly encouraging himself, “I have agreed with the junior brothers; this month, we must slay the demons to avenge the fallen junior brother!”

“Wagaga!” The Undying Giant Turtle shouted again, with Lu Yuan following suit in barking.

…

The difficulty of tracing the mastermind far exceeded imagination.

Days later, Duomu returned home, his frustrated expression clearly showed nothing had been identified by them, the junior brothers.

“Another junior brother disappeared…” Duomu was so sad he could barely speak, “He said he was going to relieve himself, then suddenly shouted.”

“When we rushed in, we found only a splash of blood.”

“The blood was bright red, the soul dissipated, like he was eaten alive. The whole process took less than a second.”

“The eldest brother’s face was grim, he seemed to have vaguely guessed something but dared not say. He feared saying it would disarray us all…”

“Forget it, I shouldn’t be telling you all this…”

Duomu sat on the threshold, staring blankly at the sky, seemingly recalling the past; when he had just ascended the mountain, he was only a child.

The once peaceful life was gone, leaving only mutual suspicion and fear.

“I… lost my parents as a child, my tribe was wiped out by foreign enemies, it was the masters who adopted me. I cannot leave the Mo Sect…”

He firmed his resolve and brought a wooden bucket inside.

“Now that things have come to this, let’s have a meal first.”

The Undying Giant Turtle was the first to eat, with Lu Yuan joining in.

It was a purple sticky unknown substance, smelling initially like foul excrement, but tasting surprisingly fragrant in the mouth!

Lu Yuan ate more and more excitedly, even getting into a scuffle with the Undying Giant Turtle over it!

Watching the two pets fight, a faint smile appeared on Duomu’s weary face, it was one of the few smiles he had in recent days.

…

…

In the following days, there were finally no more disappearances, and the weather was rare good.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the unparalleled villain had left Floating Mountain…

The junior brothers gathered, discussing what should be done in the future.

“If he dares to come again, I have prepared a Demon Suppression Talisman, surely ensuring he leaves without a trace!”

“I have arranged array marks nearby, and the bell will ring at the approach of strangers.”

The eldest brother of the Mo Sect was a golden-haired Tiger Man, standing a majestic 10 meters tall, sitting with his legs astride on a stone.

He was the son of an Innate Myth, having come here to learn forging techniques for over three hundred years.

“What about the masters?”

“They are still collectively studying the Epoch’s great disaster, instructing us not to disturb them rashly.”
