Chapter 846 A Dangerous Game (2)

After Ace entered the Moon Secret Realm three days later.

In the grand hall with statues of the Above Mountain Palace, the Union Leader sat on his grand throne.

Standing below him was the Sun Lord, wearing a golden robe with a black sun crest, and there was a golden sword right in the middle of this black sun, and his face was covered behind a black mask.

But the Sun Lord wasn’t alone. There was another 6’5 feet height, slim, curvaceous figure, and she wore a silver robe, but the crest on it was of a purple moon with a silver sword in the middle. Her face was hidden behind a silver mask like the sun lord, but her exposed long white hair was like snow. Her status wasn’t any lower than the Sun Lord, for she was the Moon Lord of Moon Mountain!

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely silent and eerie as the Union Leader wore an ugly yet grave expression on his face and seemed to be deep in thought.

At this moment, a white figure suddenly materialized beside the Union Leader. It was the Sun and Moon Sword Custodian (SMSC)!

The two lords instantly kneeled down in greeting the moment they saw SMSC, “We greet Lord SMSC!”

“No need for this.” The SMSC said with a hint of exhaustion in his voice.

The Union Leader looked at SMSC and asked with a gloomy tone, “So?”

“There is no way to enter the Moon Secret Realm forcibly, as I told you before. The two realms were made by the Sun and Moon God personally, and no one can change the rules set up by them. Even God’s envoys only have a level higher status than me. They can’t do anything as well!” SMSC replied with a flustered tone.

“How about attacking the entrance?” The Union Leader persistently pressed.

“Heh, be my guest. If you can escape the killing array, you have my utmost respect.” SMSC sneeringly replied.

The Union Leader’s face clouded as he gritted his teeth, “So we can do nothing but wait for the boy to destroy the moon mountain as well? You know if he did that, what would befall the Union, right?”

“I know more than you. But it’s still not clear that he is the heretic and he can destroy the Moon Secret Realm. I don’t think the God envoy residing in the realm would let that happen after what happened in the Sun Secret Realm.” SMSC sighed helplessly.

“You’re still thinking that he’s not the heretic?” The Union Leader seemed indignant.

“I’m just hopeful. I can’t do anything besides that in this situation.” SMSC said matter-of-factly.

“Do I have permission to speak?” A respectful voice like morning bells rang. Everyone looked at the Moon Lord, who just interfered.

“Speak your mind Protector of Moon.” The SMSC kindly permitted.

“After hearing my lords’ conversation, are we facing the same kind of danger that happened to the sun mountain?” She questioned.

“There is a 50% chance we are and a 50% chance that we aren’t.”

She thought for a moment before questioning again, “If it’s not out of my boundary, may I know what will happen if Moon Mountain is destroyed as well?”

The Union Leader replied this time in a grave tone, “The Sun and Mountain are not just random mountains. They are the founding pillar of our union. Think of it them as the only anchors which are keeping the entire Union continent functional and protecting it from being exposed to mortals of ten continents.

“So, what would happen if both anchors were destroyed? You may have already discovered the wilting of the mortal domain and the decrease in Qi density. That was the result of broken balance and all the burden falling on the moon mountain.

“To support those protective formations, we need to cut off the formations on the mortal domain and many other unimportant formations to keep the union functional.

“Now tell me, if the moon mountain was destroyed as well, what would support all those protective formations?” He coldly questioned.

Both Sun and Moon Lords trembled at this moment since they were never told about this secret before. But now that the union was on the brink of destruction, there wasn’t the point of hiding these facts from them any longer. If anything, this will give the acute idea of just how grave the situation was and what was at stake.

“Is there really no way?” The Moon Lord asked as the calm in her voice was replaced by fright.

The hall fell into silence as neither the Union Leader nor the SMSC could not think of any solution despite their absolute authority. Both of them had never thought that such a day could come when they couldn’t do anything.

“I have a way!” π’ƒπ’†π’π’—π™šπ™‘.π™˜π™€π’Ž

An ethereal voice rang within the hall, startling everyone!

“Who!?!” The Union Leader was alarmed as a sense of dΓ©jΓ  vu overcame him.

The SMSC suddenly exclaimed, “The God Envoy?!”

“What? The same god envoy you told me about that day?” The Union Leader was astounded.

The voice rang again in affirmative, “I’m indeed, the envoy of Sun and Moon.”

“So, you finally decided to pay attention to us!” The Union Leader coldly spoke with a hint of anger.

“O’ Leader of Mortal Sky Union, I can’t interfere with the matters of the mortal sky. I’m only the thrall of the Sun and Moon who has only one duty, to protect the Moon Secret Realm.

“But now that the safety of the Moon Secret Realm and all the Mortal Sky Union is at stake, I can’t sit still.” The voice solemnly replied.

“So White really is the heretic?” SMSC questioned with a rueful voice.

“Indeed, he is the Heretic who wants to defy the will of the Sun and Moon and wants all the mortal sky to plunge into chaos!” The voice was filled with killing intent this time.

“So why don’t you just kill me or send him out!” The Union Leader quickly questioned.

“Like you all, I’m also bound by rules, and I can’t do anything to him as long as he has the Sun Chaser and Moon Seeker Token. Furthermore, he has an extremely powerful helper that I’m completely helpless against.

“I’ve already tried to overpower him with everything I had at my disposal, but he’s too strange and ready for anything and seemed to know where he needs to go and what to avoid.

“He has already passed two layers and claimed the holy gifts and treasures which will be automatically given to him once he passes a special trial just like the Sun and Moon God had created it.

“I can’t interfere, or I’ll be razed to dust. But this didn’t mean I could just sit there and wait for our impending doom. All I can do is now to slow him down as much as I can.

“In the meantime, I will help you open the moon secret realm ahead of time and also raise the entry-level restriction to 500-year-old and cultivation restriction to Quasi Law Awareness Realm Cultivator. But you can only send 100 Cultivators with these new restrictions so you have to choose wisely and I’ll also assist them.

“Because if we made any mistake, we are all but doomed once the heretic reaches the 9th layer!” The God’s envoy grimly stated.

“What do you need from us?” The SMSC solemnly questioned.

“To make the aforementioned changes in the Moon Secret Realm, you need to sacrifice the… Moon Guardian!”
