Chapter 954: The Corrupt Spring

Those quick to seize the moment had already arrived at the entrance of the passage.

Yue Jianqiu's face was ashen, and he coldly shouted, "Go and hold the passage entrance. Whoever dares to enter, kill without mercy!"

At the command, experts from the Yue family immediately led a charge toward the passage entrance.

But by this time, a large number of martial artists had already entered the passage. It was too late to stop them.

"All unrelated persons, retreat at once! Anyone who dares to trespass into the Bright Sun and Luminous Moon Realm will be killed without mercy!" warned the Yue family expert.

Yet the scene had now spiraled completely out of control. How could those martial artists be willing to let such an opportunity slip away?

The stream of people still surged toward the entrance, growing larger and larger.

"Kill!"

Seeing that the warnings were ineffective, the Yue family experts began to get serious, resorting to bloody suppression.

However, among those martial artists, there were also many Dao Profound realm experts, and with their large numbers, the Yue family experts simply could not kill them all.

Seeing this, Yue Jianqiu's face darkened, and he snorted coldly, "Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit!"

As he spoke, Yue Jianqiu struck a palm toward the crowd.

"Boom!"

With a seemingly casual palm strike, Yue Jianqiu directly blasted a large number of martial artists to death.

When the Divine King is enraged, corpses float for a thousand miles!

Under this palm strike, those martial artists finally knew fear and gradually dared not rush toward the passage entrance.

They stayed at a distance, looking enviously at the martial artists who had already charged into the passage.

"Since the birth of the Bright Sun and Bright Moon Realm, no one has ever opened another passage to enter it. Today I have truly broadened my horizons! Fine work, Divine Martial Hall—I, Yue Jianqiu, will remember this!" Yue Jianqiu said coldly.

Today's events were a great humiliation for the Yue family; how could Yue Jianqiu not hold a grudge?

Moreover, a martial artist wielding a divine artifact had entered the Bright Sun and Bright Moon Realm, adding many variables.

"Patriarch, what should we do now?" Yue Jianfeng couldn't help asking.

That Han Tong was very strong and possessed a divine artifact like the Luminous Mirror of Annihilation; if they encountered him, he would be no match.

Yue Jianqiu said in a deep voice, "You enter first. Later, I will send Elder Yue Lingyu into the Bright Sun and Bright Moon Realm to assist you. If you encounter that Han Tong, kill him without mercy!"

Yue Jianfeng's expression changed; he hadn't expected the patriarch to make such a firm decision this time.

Yue Lingyu was an elder of the Yue family, also Yue Jianfeng's aunt, and another Divine King of the Yue family.

Sending her into the Bright Sun and Bright Moon Realm showed the determination to eliminate Han Tong.

…

Inside the Bright Sun and Bright Moon Realm, birds sang and flowers bloomed, an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.

But the people of the Yue family knew that this place actually concealed many dangers.

"Brother Yuan, what's wrong?" Yue Mengli noticed Ye Yuan frowning and couldn't help asking.

Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Nothing. I just feel that something is off here."

"Off? The Yue and Zhou families have entered the Bright Sun and Bright Moon Realm countless times and never found anything wrong!" Yue Mengli said doubtfully.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Maybe I'm overthinking it."

At this moment, Yue Jianfeng said to everyone, "Now everyone disperse and seek your own fortunes! But this time, as you can see, the situation is different, so be careful. If you see anyone outside the Yue and Zhou families, if within your ability, you must kill them! The dignity of the Yue family must not be defiled by these people, understand?"

"Understood!" A thunderous response rang out.

These thousand or so martial artists all had deep ties with the Yue family, so naturally they stood on the Yue family's side.

After everyone dispersed, Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli also headed deeper into the secret realm to seek their own fortunes.

In the Bright Sun and Bright Moon Realm, the so-called fortune was the Eye-Washing Spirit Spring. If a martial artist found a Eye-Washing Spirit Spring, they could jump into the spring eye, and the spring water would cleanse their marrow and refine their essence.

Of course, the most important function of this spirit spring was eye-washing, which could evolve a martial artist's pupil power, thereby creating an acquired Bright Sun Flame Heart Pupil or Moonlight Celestial Eye.

"This Bright Sun and Bright Moon Realm is open to both your families. I've always been curious why the martial artists of Bright Moon City all obtain the power of the Moonlight Celestial Eye," Ye Yuan asked curiously on the way.

"It is said that this is because of the moon of Bright Moon City! Martial artists who have lived in Bright Moon City for a long time carry the aura of the Moonlight Celestial Eye. When they enter the Bright Sun and Bright Moon Realm and obtain the Eye-Washing Spirit Spring, they naturally gain the power of the Moonlight Celestial Eye," Yue Jianfeng said.

The others dispersed, but Yue Jianfeng followed Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli to protect them.

"I see! This must be the work of a Divine Path powerhouse. Truly unfathomable!" Ye Yuan exclaimed.

"Haha, I found the Eye-Washing Spirit Spring!" Just then, an excited voice came from not far away.

The three looked toward the sound and saw a martial artist who had found a wellhead-sized spring eye, extremely excited.

With a "plop," the martial artist jumped directly into the spring eye.

"Ah!"

A miserable scream rang out. That martial artist had not washed his eyes in the spirit spring; instead, the spring seemed to have boiled over, steaming hot.

All three had excellent eyesight. They watched as the martial artist struggled a few times, then fell silent.

That martial artist had been directly dissolved by the spring water, not even a trace left.

This scene was enough to make one's hair stand on end.

"Fool! Can't even tell a spirit spring from a腐泉, and yet you dare to break into the Bright Sun and Luminous Moon Realm!" Yue Jianfeng sneered.

"A腐泉?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.

"Within this Bright Sun and Luminous Moon Realm, there are two types of springs. One is the Eye-Washing Spirit Spring, which greatly benefits martial artists; the other is this腐泉, which is extremely corrosive. Even a Daoxuan realm expert who enters it will die without a doubt! That man just now was not from the Zhou or Yue families; he must have entered through that passage. Only the permanent residents of Bright Moon City know these secrets." Yue Jianfeng said.

Ye Yuan sighed deeply upon hearing this. The Yue and Zhou families had operated here for countless years, and clearly there were many secrets unknown to the outside world.

Ye Yuan approached the腐泉 and saw the water surface perfectly calm, as if nothing had happened.

"Ye Yuan, let's go. Even the Eye-Washing Spirit Springs vary in quality. The truly good ones are deeper in the secret realm. People like Han Tong must have headed deeper. We shouldn't waste time." Yue Jianfeng urged, seeing Ye Yuan's interest in the腐泉.

However, Ye Yuan seemed not to hear and kept staring at the腐泉.

Yue Jianfeng was about to speak again when Yue Mengli made a shushing gesture and whispered, "Don't disturb Brother Yuan. Let him look. Maybe he's found something."

Yue Jianfeng had no choice but to desist, though inwardly he was scornful. What was there to study in a deadly腐泉?

As Ye Yuan was watching, he suddenly leaped and jumped into the腐泉.

Seeing this, both Yue Jianfeng and Yue Mengli's expressions changed drastically!
