Chapter 1942: Chapter 1942: Go Be Someone Else’s Scapegoat
The locals have grown so accustomed to this way of life that they don’t find anything amiss, but for newcomers like them, even eating and sleeping are inconvenient because they can’t find the entrance to the Underground City.
“Sects are naturally built underground too. Take our Eternal Night Plane’s largest sect, the Eternal Night Sect, for instance—they’re located within the belly of the Lanqian Mountain Range.”
Yuu Rong didn’t even have to ask; the worker in the inn took the initiative to introduce the circumstances of this plane, and Yuu Rong immediately brightened his eyes, listening intently.
“That’s quite a grand feat indeed. I’ve never seen such a large sect, though, of course, I’ve indeed never seen any so far.”
As he said this, he even chuckled.
Being merely a shop assistant, his words carried little weight; how could he possibly have the chance to join the top-ranked Eternal Night Sect? He wouldn’t even be qualified to take on menial tasks there.
...“Is the Eternal Night Sect really that remarkable?”
Yuu Rong propped his chin with one hand, asking as though off-handedly.
“Isn’t it just?”
Mentioning the Eternal Night Sect, the shop assistant had plenty to say, chattering non-stop.
“The Eternal Night Sect is the largest sect in our Eternal Night Plane. Otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to name themselves after the plane, right? They have the capabilities to justify such grandeur.
I’ve heard—I mean, it’s just what I’ve heard—that the Eternal Night Sect has a treasure called Qe Mingmu. Whenever the sect presents this treasure, it can make the entire Eternal Night Sect be in a state of daylight.
That’s why, even deep within the Lanqian Mountain, they can still grow crops normally and do everything else, all thanks to this artifact.
And I’ve also heard that the Qe Mingmu of the Eternal Night Sect is an artifact that opens up a special space. Inside that space, there are many valuable things. When the disciples of the Eternal Night Sect enter this space, their cultivation progresses at a much faster rate.
It’s just too bad that ordinary people can’t enter that space. Only the disciples within their sect, or those from sects on good terms with the Eternal Night Sect, can go in.
If we could also enter, how wonderful it would be, alas.”
As he spoke, he sighed deeply, his face full of regret.
However, he didn’t genuinely contemplate entering the Qe Mingmu space, as he lacked the ability. Even if he entered, what good would it do him? He’d probably just end up becoming fodder for others.
He had heard that those who entered the Qe Mingmu space often died inside, unable to return.
“Where is the Eternal Night Sect located? How does one get there?” Yuu Rong asked him.
“The Eternal Night Sect is in the… Eh?”
The shop assistant was about to answer when he suddenly realized and looked at Yuu Rong in disbelief.
“Honored guest, are…are you planning to go to the Eternal Night Sect?”
In his inn, there had also been several sect disciples heading toward the Eternal Night Sect recently, hearing that the sect master was about to open the Qe Mingmu space. They were on their way to join the Eternal Night Sect and enter the space.
Could it be that this honored guest in front of him was also…?
But that didn’t add up either. Didn’t they say they came from Wulong Mountain? Why would they go to the Eternal Night Sect and enter the Qe Mingmu space?
“Answer when you’re asked a question.”
Yuu Rong’s gaze narrowed, his voice slightly cold as he spoke.
“Er, well… The Eternal Night Sect is to the southeast. It’s about half a month’s journey from here. Seeing as the three honored guests don’t have a horse carriage, it would probably take even longer.”
