Chapter 362: Chapter 362: Moon Star, Dragon Temple, Faceless God Statue

”Is this place the Moon Star?”

Hearing the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon’s words, the Big Black Horse was also taken aback.

It turned out the Coffin Carriers’ lair was actually set up on the Moon Star.

”Yes, it’s truly unexpected!”

The Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon’s expression grew serious. As an ancient member of the Dragon Clan, he was naturally familiar with the Moon Star.

This huge star, hanging high in the sky, was the dwelling place of the Xuan Yin Moon Dragon Clan.

However, this place was off-limits to even the Ten Super Divine Dragons without an order from the Ancestor Dragon.

The reason for this was unknown to anyone.

A large number of Xuan Yin Moon Dragons lived on the Moon Star, with no other Dragon Clans present.

However, from ancient times to the present, most of the Dragon Clan had perished.

The Xuan Yin Moon Dragons on the Moon Star were no exception.

The Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon had not expected the Coffin Carriers to set up their lair on the Moon Star.

This was an extremely secret place.

Standing on the Moon Star, one could monitor the entire Cangnan Continent.

It was truly the best vantage point for surveillance.

The Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon looked at the Big Black Horse, his expression solemn, and said, ”Boss, this time, Master has sent us to find the Coffin Carriers’ lair. I suspect it won’t be that simple. I have a premonition that these Coffin Carriers also have extraordinary origins!”

”Second Brother, you’re right. We need to be extra cautious and not act rashly. We’ll investigate thoroughly before making any moves.”

The Big Black Horse also nodded solemnly.

When the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon joined the Dragon God Sect, he had voluntarily ranked himself second and referred to the Big Black Horse as ’Boss’. Thus, the monikers ’Boss’ and ’Second Brother’ were established from that time.

Over time, everyone became familiar with these address terms and used them out of habit.

”It seems the concealment restriction Master placed on us is still active. It looks like Master already considered this for us.”

The Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon silently sensed the space around his body and then said with a smile.

”Then let’s go.”

The Big Black Horse felt a wave of relief and said immediately.

The two of them followed closely behind the six Coffin Carriers, maintaining a certain distance.

After arriving on the Moon Star, the six Coffin Carriers seemed quite relaxed, chatting and laughing along the way, strolling as if not in a hurry.

They flew for about the time it would take to burn an incense stick.

After crossing a mountain range, they saw a large valley below.

In this valley, quite a few houses had been built. From a distance, they could also see many Human Cultivators in white robes.

This must be the Coffin Carriers’ lair. The Big Black Horse nodded to himself.

After arriving, the six Coffin Carriers removed their masks, revealing their true faces.

Among the six men, there was one old man and five middle-aged men.

”This time... our mission went rather smoothly. That Emperor Level Top Grade Dragon Cave has been completely sealed. The Dragon Vein Qi won’t leak out. We just need to wait another hundred years for the five seeds to break through their cultivation. It won’t be long before we obtain a vessel.”

”Elder, I’ve always had a doubt: what exactly is the use of us collecting so many vessels?”

A middle-aged man beside him asked.

The white-robed Elder immediately glared at the middle-aged man and said solemnly, ”This is a secret of our Coffin Carrying Clan. Only the Clan Leader knows. You don’t need to ask so much. In any case, the more vessels we collect, the more beneficial it is for our Coffin Carrying Clan.”

”Sigh...”

Having been rebuked by the white-robed Elder, the middle-aged man sighed, shook his head, and was the first to fly towards the houses ahead.

The white-robed Elder looked at the others and said with a wry smile, ”Don’t think I’m not telling the truth. Truly, regarding the matter of the vessels, I am not very clear either. Only the Clan Leader knows.”

”We understand, Elder.”

The others nodded with a smile and then dispersed.

I should go report to the Clan Leader. The white-robed Elder gazed at a distant black temple, and with a flash, his figure flew towards it.

On a distant boulder, the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon and the Big Black Horse inadvertently overheard the conversation between these people and the white-robed Elder. Both were utterly shocked.

The actions of this group of Coffin Carriers were bizarre, and their ambitions immense.

”Boss, what exactly is this ’vessel’ they’re talking about? What do you make of this?”

The Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon stroked his chin and said thoughtfully.

The Big Black Horse watched the Elder disappear towards the distant black temple. His brow furrowed as he said in a low voice, ”According to what these Coffin Carriers said, one vessel emerges from five Covert Dragon Coffins. It’s possible that the people in the five coffins are devouring each other until only one remains.”

”It’s simply too inconceivable! What use could there be in cultivating such a vessel?”

The Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon shook his head, finding it hard to understand.

”Let’s go. We’ll check things out up ahead.”

The Big Black Horse spoke, then quickly flew forward, the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon close behind.

Upon entering the valley, they were surprised to find many cultivators at the Eternal Realm—a good dozen of them. The one with the highest cultivation base among them, an old man, had already reached the Eighth Level of the Eternal Realm, two minor realms higher than the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon.

This place is even stronger than a Sky-Level Sect? the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon murmured to himself.

Thankfully, their Master had placed an invisibility restriction on them. Otherwise, if the two of them had just snuck onto the Moon Star like this, they likely would have been discovered the moment they arrived. Once discovered, a fierce battle would have been inevitable, and then any further investigation would have been impossible.

After witnessing the Coffin Carrier Clan’s formidable strength, the expressions on both their faces grew increasingly grim; not a trace of a smile remained.

”Let’s go check out that place.”

With a flicker, the Big Black Horse’s figure drifted towards a black ancient temple not far away.

The Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon followed closely.

The two of them suddenly stopped in front of the black ancient temple.

”Dragon Temple?”

Seeing the three large characters on the temple’s plaque, the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon’s spirit surged, and he almost couldn’t stop himself from tearing the plaque down.

The Big Black Horse gazed at the three large characters on the plaque and sent a voice transmission to the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon, ”This Coffin Carrier Clan actually worships at a Dragon Temple. Isn’t that too bizarre, Second Brother?”

”This place is very strange... Logically, the Coffin Carriers don’t even spare Dragon Vein Qi. How could they possibly worship a Divine Dragon?” the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon transmitted back, quite annoyed.

The Big Black Horse nodded, floated over, and stood outside a window. Peeking through a crack in the window, he looked inside.

This ancient temple wasn’t large. Inside, a divine statue was enshrined.

The statue was entirely pitch-black and had no facial features, like a No Face person. One hand was placed on its chest, forming a Hand Seal, while the other hand was raised, holding a Black Mirror.

Four Little Dragons were coiled around the statue’s limbs.

Below the statue stood two elders, both dressed in white.

One of them was the Coffin Carrier Elder who had gone to the Heavenly Moon Dynasty on a mission.

The other elder, his face gaunt, was nevertheless exceedingly vigorous. His cultivation base was extremely shocking, having reached the Ninth Level of the Eternal Realm.

So this is their Clan Leader. The Big Black Horse nodded to himself.

The Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon leaned in. After seeing the situation inside the ancient temple clearly, he couldn’t help but show his surprise and transmitted, ”Boss, this place is too bizarre! Even the god statue they worship is a Faceless God Statue!”
