Wei Xin stiffened up and lay down straight.
"Quick, save him... He doesn't seem to be one of ours..."
"Ah... Hurry, hurry, hurry..."
A few members of the Dark Moon Clan jumped out from all around, and upon seeing Wei Xin lying on the ground, they were almost scared to death themselves.
Damn it... They were bored today and decided to release a demonic beast to play a game of tag—if you catch me, you can eat me.
But as they played, the demonic beast couldn't take it anymore, turning the game into the beast running away and the Dark Moon Clan chasing it. If they caught it, they would "hehehe" it...
The so-called "hehehe" meant slaughtering the beast and sending it to the Ouyang Family to eat, laughing as they did so.
But just as they were enjoying the chase, this scene suddenly appeared.
The Dark Moon Clan members were genuinely scared to death. Damn it... Forget about a demonic beast eating other palace disciples, even if it just injured them, it would be a disaster.
After all, the demonic beast was brought into the Dark Moon Palace by the arrangement of the Saint...If today, due to their playful negligence, the Saint's arrangement was compromised, wouldn't the Great Sage be furious on the spot?
By then, wouldn't the Great Sage punish everyone by forbidding them from dying ever again?
Moreover, the Great Sage's punishment was one thing, but if the Saint found out about this, he would definitely be furious!
The Dark Moon Clan members rushed up desperately. Fortunately, the demonic beast had eaten quite a few of them earlier and didn't seem to have much appetite now, so it just watched Wei Xin lying on the ground without further attacking.
The Dark Moon Clan quickly took down the demonic beast and confirmed that Wei Xin lying on the ground was not in any life-threatening danger.
However, this junior brother seemed to be a bit too timid... Such a small scare and he lost control of his bowels?
He really needed to work on his mental fortitude!
The Dark Moon Clan didn't bother dealing with the demonic beast's corpse and hurriedly got Wei Xin up from the ground, then carried him to a room to rest.
Wei Xin didn't know how long he had been unconscious, but when he woke up again, it was already evening.
Wei Xin looked at the eerie room with a face full of terror, and at that moment, he had only one thought... Could this be the underworld?
Soon, Wei Xin realized that he seemed to still be alive.
After checking his body and finding no missing parts, Wei Xin finally calmed down a bit.
But thinking about that demonic beast, Wei Xin was still filled with fear.
It wasn't that he was timid, but that demonic beast was just too outrageous, okay?
Wei Xin's cultivation talent was quite average, only at the Third Grade even now, and he had little combat experience after spending so many years at the meteorite iron mine.
Wei Xin didn't know what grade the demonic beast was, but he knew that if it wanted to kill him, one bite would probably be enough.
But wasn't he in the Dark Moon Palace?
Why would there be such a terrifying demonic beast in the Dark Moon Palace?
Just as Wei Xin was filled with questions, the door was pushed open.
"Oh, junior brother... You're awake..." A group of senior brothers from the Dark Moon Clan rushed in from outside.
Regardless of whether Wei Xin was happy or not, they grabbed him and checked him thoroughly from head to toe.
After confirming that Wei Xin had no issues, they finally relaxed.
"Junior brother, today's incident was just a small accident. The demonic beast accidentally got out, and we've already killed it, so you don't need to worry at all. Once you've rested, we'll send you back to your palace."
"Huh? Senior brothers... I'm from the Dark Moon Palace... Senior Brother Xinghe specifically arranged for me to become a disciple here, so I ask for your guidance in the future." Wei Xin quickly explained that he was personally arranged by Senior Brother Xinghe to join the Dark Moon Palace.
But as soon as Wei Xin finished speaking, the whole room went into chaos.
"What? You were arranged by the Saint?"
"That must be a mistake... How could the Saint arrange for someone so timid..."
"Yeah, yeah... How can someone so timid stay in the Dark Moon Palace?"
"Junior brother... You're too timid for the Dark Moon Palace, maybe you should choose another palace..."
The Dark Moon Clan members were all talking over each other, and hearing this, Wei Xin got angry.
What do you mean choose another palace?
Do you know that I, Wei Xin, have been lying low for fifteen years to enter the Dark Moon Palace... Now that I have the chance to join the most mysterious Dark Moon Palace, you tell me to go somewhere else?
I'm telling you... I won't change a bit.
Looking at the senior brothers of the Dark Moon Palace, Wei Xin swore to the heavens... He was arranged by Senior Brother Xinghe to join, and he would never leave the Dark Moon Palace... He would never betray Senior Brother Xinghe's expectations, he would live as a Dark Moon Palace person and die as a Dark Moon Palace ghost... He would never leave the Dark Moon Palace in this lifetime...
After Wei Xin finished speaking, he thought the senior brothers of the Dark Moon Palace would at least be moved...
But after he finished, he noticed that the expressions of the Dark Moon Clan members had changed a bit.
When they first heard he was joining the Dark Moon Palace, they all had disdainful expressions...
After he finished speaking, although there was still disdain, most of it started turning into excitement—what was going on?
Soon, Wei Xin understood why the senior brothers of the Dark Moon Clan were excited.
After he said he would never leave the Dark Moon Palace, the senior brothers of the Dark Moon Palace cheered.
Finally, our Dark Moon Palace has its own disciple!
And it's a junior brother with such a small courage, isn't that worth getting excited about?
Isn't it hard for our Dark Moon Clan?
Since entering the Grand Sky Sect, we've been pursuing all kinds of joyful deaths, but after trying various ways to die, we gradually found it wasn't as fun as before.
The Dark Moon Clan gathered to research why dying wasn't as joyful as before?
The reason was simple... Death also needs an audience.
If we only focus on dying ourselves, isn't that boring?
After realizing this, the Dark Moon Clan started frantically inviting disciples from other palaces to watch their death performances.
At first, it was fine, as disciples from other palaces couldn't refuse, since the Dark Moon Clan senior brothers often helped everyone out.
So everyone accepted the invitations to witness the Dark Moon Clan's bizarre ways of dying.
But damn it, any normal person wouldn't want to watch a group of people perform a thousand different ways to die every day, right?
Gradually, the disciples from other palaces couldn't take it anymore...
Facing invitations from the Dark Moon Palace, everyone started refusing with various excuses.
Helpless, the senior brothers of the Dark Moon Palace had to go to other palaces to perform their deaths.
But after only a few days of performing, the heads of the other palaces couldn't stand it anymore... They went to the Great Sage together, begging the Dark Moon Clan to spare the other normal disciples...
Look at how your performances have mentally scarred our disciples!
In the end, the Great Sage had no choice but to order the Dark Moon Clan not to perform their deaths in other palaces.
But to satisfy everyone, the Great Sage asked the Great Elder to find a batch of new disciples for the Dark Moon Palace...
But these new disciples only lasted a day in the Dark Moon Palace before they completely broke down.
The senior brothers of the Dark Moon Palace were restrained when performing in other palaces... In the Dark Moon Palace, they truly let themselves go, and damn it, watching them die like that every day, who could withstand it?
By the second day, all the disciples had left the Dark Moon Palace...
The members of the Dark Moon Palace were heartbroken, without anyone to watch their death performances, they had no will to live.
Fortunately, the Saint suddenly invited people from the Barbarian Tribe, and their arrival brought new joy to the Dark Moon Clan.
The Dark Moon Clan rushed to the Barbarian Tribe to perform their death methods.
At first, the Barbarian Tribe was indeed shocked by the unique and passionate performances of the Dark Moon Palace... But after the shock, they fell into ecstasy.
Especially the Barbarian King, Dou Ding.
Previously, when the Barbarian Tribe was cultivating demonic beasts, they had thought about whether they could use live sacrifices to stimulate the deepest ferocity of the beasts.
Before, they didn't have the opportunity, but now they did.
So after the initial shock, the Barbarian Tribe begged the Dark Moon Palace senior brothers for sacrifices...
At first, the Dark Moon Palace was extremely happy to hear this and kept meeting the Barbarian Tribe's requests, but over time, the Dark Moon Clan found the requests becoming more and more perverse.
"Senior brother... My demonic beast only likes to eat liver, could you take out yours to feed it?"
"Senior brother... The demonic beast doesn't seem to like drinking the blood of your Dark Moon Clan, so could you drain it first and then dry it to feed?"
Do these sound like things normal humans would say?
The Dark Moon Clan said, even we, a bunch of weirdos, think your requests are perverse, okay?
We perform death for you to make you happy, but the Dark Moon Clan gradually realized that the Barbarian Tribe didn't appreciate their deaths at all, they only had eyes for their demonic beasts...
So there was no fun in the death performances at all.
Just when the Dark Moon Clan lamented that not only was death joyless, but life was also becoming joyless, Wei Xin appeared.
The Dark Moon Clan thanked the Saint for his great kindness!
The Saint truly favored the Dark Moon Clan!
The Saint knew the Dark Moon Clan was bored in the Dark Moon Palace, knew that the Barbarian Tribe had no fun at all, and without a word, sent Wei Xin to them.
Look at this junior brother, so delicate and tender, and most importantly, he's timid.
A single demonic beast scared Wei Xin into fainting, with such a small courage, wouldn't he be the perfect audience for our death performances?
No, no... The Dark Moon Clan mainly wanted to help Wei Xin improve his courage, not to satisfy themselves!
"Senior brothers, I'm fine now, and I've delayed enough time. Could you please take me to see the Great Sage..." Wei Xin, completely unaware of the kind of people he was facing, sincerely requested.
But before Wei Xin could finish, Senior Brother Anzhen spoke up: "Junior Brother Wei Xin, there's no rush to see the Great Sage. You're new here and just encountered a demonic beast today. To prevent you from not knowing how to handle such situations in the future, we'll give you a good lesson on demonic beasts today."
Wei Xin wanted to say there was no hurry, that he could listen after seeing the Great Sage.
But before Wei Xin could speak, the door opened, and a Dark Moon Clan senior brother led a demonic beast in excitedly. Then Wei Xin saw the senior brother laugh and pat the demonic beast beside him, and the beast didn't hesitate—chomp... the senior brother was left with only two legs standing on the ground...
Wei Xin felt a warmth in his pants... and fainted again...
