Chapter 257: The Night Clan Cemetery:
The Source World contest ended recently, and Mu Lingsha returned from reincarnation.
Even so, rumors were already spreading that Mu Lingsha had suffered an accident during the Source World contest, leading to a split personality.
Because of these rumors, the other Night Clan members became impatient.
To target Mu Lingsha specifically, they proposed holding an annual competition soon.
As long as Mu Lingsha revealed any irregularities during the annual competition, other factions of the Night Clan's cultivators could use this as an excuse to strip her of qualification as the Night Clan's successor.
Within the Night Clan, this qualification meant high status, but also granted powerful resources.
Due to this, many Night Clan members secretly coveted Mu Lingsha's position.
After learning about the annual competition, both Mu Lingsha and Mu Tao speculated that it was targeting Mu Lingsha.
"Younger Sister, how is your situation? Can you handle this annual competition?" Mu Tao turned his gaze to Mu Lingsha and asked with a serious expression.
Mu Lingsha pondered for a moment before shaking her head, "It's difficult. The only person who can set up such a plan against me so quickly is Mu Yan, that woman with extraordinary intelligence. If she is truly targeting me, I won't win this competition."
Mu Tao's expression darkened. Hesitating, he said, "Then let's postpone this annual competition. We can openly admit there's a slight problem with your condition. Such a minor problem shouldn't strip you of your identity as the Night Clan's successor."
Mu Lingsha strongly disagreed, "This isn't a minor issue. My soul has problems that could affect me from receiving the Night God's inheritance. So, even if we postpone the annual competition, I cannot avoid it. Instead of avoiding it, why not face it head-on?"
Seeing Mu Lingsha's confident demeanor, Mu Tao's expression changed: "Younger sister, do you already have a plan?"
Mu Lingsha smiled. "Yes, Big Brother. There is still more than a month left until the annual competition. During this time, I want to enter the Night Clan Cemetery again."
At the mention of the Night Clan Cemetery, Mu Tao's expression became extremely solemn.
Frowning and contemplating for a moment, he slowly said, "The Night Clan Cemetery is a place containing many secrets of our clan. Even for us, middle-stage Heavenly God Realm cultivators, it's best to enter the cemetery separately. The last time you went in, you didn't inherit anything. I don't think you'll gain much in so little time."
Mu Lingsha's smile became more obvious. "That's not necessarily true, Big Brother. Trust me, I'm confident I can make huge progress in the Night Clan Cemetery. By the time of the annual competition, getting it will be a piece of cake."
Seeing Mu Lingsha's resolute attitude, Mu Tao hesitated for a long time before nodding. "Alright, I'll immediately help you enter the Night Clan Cemetery for this reason."
The Night Clan Cemetery, located on a dark star, was the core place where various Night Clan secrets were passed down.
Entering it wasn't as simple as it seemed.
In most cases, another Night Clan direct member needed to guard the entrance, a special rule that persisted over time.
Apparently, the Night Clan's ancestor set up this rule to improve relations among the clan members.
Unfortunately, with the increasing Night Clan population, even direct disciples were divided into multiple factions.
This rule, which required at least two individuals to enter the Night Clan Cemetery, had been passed down for a long time but deviated from its original purpose.
-The Night Clan Cemetery.
It's located on the Dark Star.
The entire cemetery was enveloped in a layer of dark Qi, like a blanket of darkness.
Even from a distance, one could clearly sense the eerie aura emanating from the cemetery.
The eerie atmosphere of the cemetery wasn't solely due to the buried legacies of various Night Clan members.
It also serves as the final resting place for many formidable Night Clan experts.
Although their physical bodies and souls have fallen, their will remain, lingering within the cemetery and creating a place like a dead land.
Every year, Night Clan cultivators who entered the cemetery faced death.
This dangerous Night Clan Cemetery had become a forbidden area in the eyes of many Night Clan cultivators.
They would only enter if necessary.
Although one could obtain powerful Night Clan secret techniques, cultivators weren't willing to enter this area.
...
Soon, Mu Tao and Mu Lingsha arrived at the Night Clan Cemetery entrance.
Seeing the eerie atmosphere in front of the Night Clan Cemetery, Mu Tao couldn't help but say: "Younger Sister, don't go too deep into the cemetery. If you encounter danger, retreat immediately."
Mu Lingsha nodded: "Big Brother, this isn't my first time entering the cemetery. You can rest assured; I know my limits."
After a brief exchange, Mu Tao activated the cemetery.
The layer of dark fog was lifted, and Mu Lingsha's figure, like a little bird, flew directly into the Night Clan Cemetery in front of him.
With a worried look on his face, Mu Tao watched Mu Lingsha enter inside.
He then sat down cross-legged on the ground.
Following that, he channeled his Qi to completely maintain the previously opened passage, keeping the Night Clan Cemetery entrance from closing.
