Hearing this, Wu Tian flew into a rage.
But knowing that two fists were no match for eight hands, he could only suppress the resentment in his heart.
He was the Third Elder of the Desolate Hall; to think he would suffer such a humiliating insult upon arriving in Wine-Warming City.
This was undoubtedly a severe provocation to the Desolate Hall.
He needed to return to the sect and report this matter, to let these four know the consequences of offending the Desolate Hall.
Wu Tian stood up and coldly snorted, Hmph, since you refuse to appreciate my kindness, I will return to the Desolate Hall and report this matter truthfully to the Sect Master!
Hearing this, the Man in Black immediately turned cold and gloomy.
Get lost, get lost! Don't be an eyesore here and ruin the mood for us brothers to drink!
Toad directly threw a wine pot at him.
Bang!
The wine pot shattered all over the floor, and the wine and ceramic shards shot toward Wu Tian.
Get as far away from me as your mind can wander! Toad yelled angrily, his wide mouth stretched open.
Wu Tian waved his sleeve, blocking the shards and the wine.
He gave another cold snort and flicked his sleeves as he left.
At this moment, the anger in Wu Tian's heart was burning fiercely.
Watching Wu Tian's retreating back, Snail slowly spat out the words, Bad luck.
It seems this matter won't end peacefully, Yi Feng said calmly.
Boss, why don't we just go to their doorstep and wipe out the Desolate Hall? They are too arrogant, actually daring to act wildly in our territory! Toad said indignantly, eager to give it a try and practically bouncing on his feet.
Yeah, it would be better to just level this Desolate Hall with a single sword strike, saving us from these flies buzzing around all day, the Man in Black echoed.
Toad's eyes widened. It was as if the Man in Black's words had struck a chord in his heart, seemingly awakening some subconscious instinct.
Where? Where are the flies?!
Yi Feng waved his hand and said, If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. If people offend me, I will definitely pay them back. I doubt they can stir up any big waves anyway.
Hmm, Boss makes sense. Come, let's continue dancing, the Man in Black laughed heartily.
Following that, the decadent sounds of string and wind instruments began to play once more.
The singers and dancers also gracefully approached...
...
In stark contrast to the joyous atmosphere of Wine-Warming City, Wu Tian's expression was incredibly gloomy.
He returned to the Desolate Hall and arrived inside a massive, desolate grand hall.
In the deepest part of the hall floated a black shadow whose true face could not be seen.
The shadow was hazy, ethereal, and eerie.
Its pair of scarlet eyes was exceptionally bizarre, making one's hair stand on end just looking at them.
Third Elder, what was the result of your trip? A strange, muddy voice drilled into Wu Tian's mind.
Wu Tian hurriedly bowed in greeting and replied, Reporting to the Sect Master, they are unwilling to join the Desolate Hall. Not only are they unwilling, but they also took a tough stance, insulted me, and drove me out of Wine-Warming City!
Wu Tian was extremely furious, but in front of the Sect Master, he still had to remain cautious at all times.
This Venerable One divined the heavenly secrets. Wine-Warming City is a variable. And the ones who triggered this variable are those four brothers.
The eerie, muddy voice drilled into Wu Tian's mind once again.
Since they cannot be used by my Desolate Hall, then let them all be obliterated.
Understood.
Wu Tian answered respectfully, feeling incredibly delighted in his heart.
A shadow quietly descended and covered everything...
The shadow seemed to pass through space, spreading to the outside real world.
Across the major planets.
They were still shrouded in shadows that blotted out the sky and sun. The people here were destitute, and clouds of sorrow hung thick in the air.
Even though the Shadow Pass had been established relying on the Shadow Island, and countless experts had been cultivated through the Shadow Pass.
The entire world still remained in dim darkness, seemingly on the verge of a massive collapse at any moment.
This lingering, unresolved crisis made everyone feel as though they were being crushed by a giant boulder, making even breathing feel somewhat difficult.
Of course, the cultivators from all realms did not stop because of this.
They were all working hard to shelter the mortals, allowing them to survive normally.
But it was merely survival, with no quality of life to speak of.
Yet, they all knew very well in their hearts.
Under these circumstances, their current lingering existence could not last much longer, and it would inevitably collapse in the end.
On this day.
A light suddenly bloomed in the dark sky.
Just as people thought they had finally seen the dawn and were about to see the light of day again.
They were stunned to discover.
That hanging high up in the sky was actually a scarlet blood moon!
Under the reflection of the blood moon, the entire world was enveloped in a layer of scarlet light.
It was a bizarre and terrifying scarlet, and an ominous premonition welled up in everyone's hearts.
They couldn't help but feel that something in this world was quietly being absorbed by that blood moon.
But it was only a feeling; there was no substantial evidence.
However, within the blood moon that no one could see clearly, mysterious phantoms were manifesting out of thin air...
