Chapter 420: Xinyue Continent

As soon as Suofeiya arrived at Zhaozebao, she felt a sense of pressure.

Not only she, but Ximeng and the others also felt this faint, lingering coercion.

Judging by Ximeng's many years of experience, this coercion should have come from a Magic Beast with a high-level bloodline.

Yet, when they were slowly descending from the sky, they had not discovered any abnormalities.

Therefore, they subconsciously assumed that Luoning had secretly ambushed a Magic Beast to deal with them.

Consequently, Suofeiya took the initiative to introduce their strength, so that Luoning would dispel such thoughts.

After all, they had come to this continent to seek aid, not to make enemies, especially as newcomers.

Luoning was stunned for a moment, then immediately felt relieved; he had not expected his defense to be seen by others as hostility.

"I think you may have misunderstood."

He explained openly: "This is my Magic Beast living in the castle, not intentionally targeting you all."

"Kaierluosi, come out and say hello to everyone."

Following Luoning's call, the sound of a dragon's roar echoed from the rear.

Kaierluosi flapped its wings, circled in the air, and then landed heavily beside Luoning.

The massive gust of wind made Suofeiya and the others squint their eyes, and their heartbeats skipped a beat the moment they saw the dragon.

They had only thought that what was lurking in the dark was a high-level bloodline Magic Beast, but they had not expected it to be a dragon!

Even on the Xinyue Continent, becoming the master of a dragon was still an extremely difficult thing.

How did this person in front of them, who was much younger than all of them, manage to do it?

Suofeiya withdrew her gaze, re-examined Luoning, and said with a hint of apology:

"It seems I misunderstood you. Please forgive me; after all, we are new here, and although our squad is not lacking in strength, being cautious is never a mistake."

After the two sides cleared the air, the atmosphere returned to a relaxed state, and Luoning invited them into the hall.

"Ancient books say that Along time ago, a world-shaking battle occurred on the Xinyue Continent; for example, in the Flame Canyon, the human Flame Expeditionary Army sacrificed their entire force to kill the Shadow Lord Elliott."

Since Luoning could recount this history, Suofeiya subconsciously assumed that such ancient books truly existed.

"There is indeed such an event!"

She had not experienced this distant event either, but she had learned of it from historical records.

"That battle was an epic campaign where the Radiant Sun challenged the Legendary. The two heroes Ruidar and Nikulas led tens of thousands of fearless soldiers to create a miracle!"

Luoning's heart skipped a beat; he looked at Aierlong, and the latter was indeed shocked as well.

At this point, their origins were finally truly and firmly confirmed.

"I wonder, what was the war on the Xinyue Continent like after the Flame Expeditionary Army was wiped out?"

Suofeiya sighed: "That was a war that lasted for hundreds of years..."

Through her narration, Luoning gained a general understanding of what happened a thousand years ago.

Simply put, more than a thousand years ago, the Star Continent, which is now the Aoerlante Continent, had communication and exchanges with the Xinyue Continent.

But the appearance of the Demon God, the King of Nightmares, triggered a war that lasted for hundreds of years.

This war dragged all of humanity into it.

In order to crusade against the Demon King, all the Transcendental joined in, and the battle casualties were such that not even one in a hundred survived!

And in this war, the Great Sage Aerian and the Storm Demon King Bagedana fought on the west coast of the Xinyue Continent, with the battle's reach affecting a vast sea area.

Although the Great Sage Aerian eventually killed the Storm Demon King, the latter's remains fell to the seabed, and the special Nightmare Qi polluted the vast sea area, not only forming a region of intense storms but also inflicting mental torture on those who passed through, resulting in severe, incurable injuries at best, and death on the spot at worst.

To cross it, one would need a Legendary-level Magician to provide escort the entire way.

But in that battle, all the Legendary-level ones perished.

Since then, the Star Continent and the Xinyue Continent have completely lost contact.

Given this information, Luoning had a reasonable guess: it was that war that caused the generational gap in this world, leading to it being so backward.

Coupled with the fact that the people here have no habit of recording history, let alone a thousand years, it would likely take only two or three generations for such a divine war to be forgotten.

"Did you have a Legendary powerhouse escorting you when you came this time?"

Suofeiya shook her head, "No, we only used a Magic Orb created by a Sage. But even so, four companions still perished in the Storm Sea."

The Storm Sea is truly terrifying; even the protection of a Sage cannot ensure a safe passage.

"What exactly did you come here for, risking your lives?" Luoning asked, puzzled.

And since they had a Magic Orb made by a Sage, why didn't the Sage send them off?

"The Demon God's subordinates have made a comeback, and now we have barely formed a stalemate with them; the Sages cannot leave for long. Plus, we received intelligence that the Storm Lord Ceres found a way to restrain the power of the Storm Sea and sent a batch of minions over."

"So, in order not to let them destroy this land of hope, we had no choice but to risk our lives and try to force our way across the Storm Sea; as long as one person survives to arrive and deliver the intelligence so that you can be prepared, that is enough."

Suofeiya began to reveal the purpose of their trip, "Additionally, we also hope that the Sages and Legendaries here can go to the Xinyue Continent as soon as possible to help us put an end to the war between humans and the Demon God that has lasted for nearly two thousand years."

Delivering information and seeking reinforcements—this was the purpose of Suofeiya and her group.

The idea was good, but reality was cruel.

Luoning shook his head secretly, "As far as I know, there are no Legendaries on the Aoerlante Continent, which you call the Star Continent, let alone Sages; I am afraid I will have to disappoint you."

The most powerful Magician is likely the Amethyst Count Beiluola Xierwa, a Level 9 Great Archmage.

The expressions of Suofeiya and the others dimmed.

Although this Lord in front of them was young, his strength was very high, and his status was likely not ordinary either.

If even such a person said there were no Legendaries or Sages here, then there probably really weren't any.

Then, not only had they failed to find reinforcements on this trip, but they couldn't even return to the Xinyue Continent!

After all, the Magic Orb could only be used once; without it, they would definitely have no path to survival if they crossed the Storm Sea again.

"Also, there is one thing I must tell you."

Suofeiya and the others emerged from their respective feelings of loss, "Please speak."

"Perhaps the minions of the Demon God you spoke of have already arrived on this land and begun their actions."

Luoning recounted what he had seen and heard during this battle, primarily the matter of Aosen, Balindun, and the others being transformed into the Witch Soul Clan.

Upon hearing this, the five, including Suofeiya, were stunned and shocked.

It was clear that the Mofisite mentioned by Luoning was indeed a servant of Anying Lord Saluonasi.

Aini Lu reminded him with concern: "If the Witch Soul Clan is given time, they expand very rapidly. Your Highness, we should find the King of the Aoduyin Kingdom and persuade him to conduct a nationwide search."

"His Majesty the King has already issued such an order."

Luoning said: "But the Aoduyin Kingdom is vast; if Mofisite truly hides and does not show himself, it will be very difficult for us to find him."

At least up until now, no place has reported any abnormalities.

Suofeiya's delicate brows were tightly locked. "You are right, but besides the minions of the Shadow Lord, the minions of the Storm Lord Ceres and the Flame Lord Phoenix should have also arrived. We still need to inform the supreme ruler here, so that he may be on guard while we seek his cooperation."

Having said this, she looked at Luoning, her expression seemingly asking if he could help with an introduction.

Luoning could certainly help.

It was just that he would rather have this group help him instead of assisting His Majesty Bruno. (End of chapter)
