Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 424 – The First Princess

Hongyue glanced at the crowd and let out a sigh. She muttered. "It's not fun anymore."

Hearing this, Yun Lintian chuckled and said. "I'm not surprised about this at all. You have ruined the essence of the game since the moment you decided to give werewolves the ability to detect their own kind."

Hongyue's brows raised slightly and said. "I want to make werewolves advantage and kill more of villagers. Why is it wrong?"

Yun Lintian shook his head. "You probably heard about this werewolf game from somewhere else and never played it by yourself before. Am I correct?" Seeing Hongyue was silent, Yun Lintian said further. "The true essence of this game is relying heavily on the secret of the role. You have to let everyone figure out the opposite party's role by gathering the clue bit by bit. That will make the game more interesting."

"What you did is not only destroy the charm of the game but also make everything easier. For example, I have attached something to Li Qiang, a werewolf, and let him find other werewolves. After that, I can secretly follow him and deal with all the werewolves he met. Don't you think it's too easy?"

Hongyue pursed her lips and said annoyingly. "That's because your strength is ridiculously strong."

Yun Lintian spread his arms with an innocent look on his face. "Since you know this, you shouldn't do this in the first place. I thought you let me win the game."

Hongyue snorted and waved her hand. "Don't play this game anymore. We will move to the next stage right away."

Hearing this, the werewolves immediately let out a sigh of relief. They didn't have to wait for their deaths anymore.

"Since you appeared before, you have never told us what's the reward is. Why should we participate in this stupid game of yours?" Yun Lintian asked directly. He looked around briefly and said. "Did anyone encounter a treasure in this place?"

The crowd glanced at each other and shook their head one by one. Before coming here, they had learned that there were countless treasures in this place, but they didn't find a single trace of them until now.

Yun Lintian turned to Hongyue and said. "You must hide them somewhere, right?"

Hongyue gave a fierce glare at Yun Lintian and said. "Of course, I have a lot of treasures here." Following that, she waved her hand, and several stacks of precious magical plants and materials appeared before everyone.

This massive amount of treasures immediately blinded everyone and invoked their inner greed. As long as they got a single stack of them, their strength would undoubtedly increase by leaps and bounds.

"As long as you pass the next stage, these will be your rewards." Hongyue crossed her arms and nodded her head in satisfaction upon seeing the greed in these people's eyes. 

Sure enough, people die for wealth, and birds die for food. They had instantly forgotten the earlier horrible experience when they saw the treasures. 

Yun Lintian looked at these stacks of treasures and sneered. "Are you kidding me? These things didn't worth much at all compared to what you have done to us."

Hongyue frowned slightly and said in dissatisfaction. "What do you want, then?"

Yun Lintian smiled faintly as if he had waited for this sentence for a long time. "Simple. I want everyone to have the right to leave this place as they want. Of course, on the premise that they could pass the next stage."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this. They secretly gave Yun Lintian a thumb up in their hearts. Not everyone loves treasures. If it was possible, they would choose their life over a treasure.

Hongyue went silent for a moment and said. "Very well. I agree with it. But…" A playful smile appeared on her face as she said further. "But the next stage will be ten times more difficult. I hope everyone can pass it. Hehe."

The expression of the crowd changed drastically. They subconsciously looked at Yun Lintian, hoping he could say something about this. 

However, what surprised them was that Yun Lintian actually nodded his head. "Sure."

The smile on Hongyue's face grew wider when she heard this. She quickly waved her hand, and Wang Jue's corpse, along with the lynching pole, immediately disappeared from the spot. 

She then glanced at the crowd and said. "Follow me." Afterward, the pagoda's gate slowly opened, and Hongyue gradually disappeared into the pagoda.

The crowd glanced at each other, did not know whether to follow.

"Go. Do we look like we have a choice?" Yun Lintian chuckled and quickly followed Hongyue into the pagoda.

Lin Xinyao said nothing and followed suit with Yang Mengli, Hua Wanru, and her fellow sisters.

Seeing this, the crowd did not hesitate anymore and swiftly walked into the pagoda.

When Yun Lintian stepped into the pagoda, he appeared in a spacious hall with several doors on both sides. The interior was decorated with an ancient stone mixing with countless precious jades that Yun Lintian didn't know. 

There was an exquisite throne at the innermost of the hall, with a moon symbol carved on the wall behind it. Yun Lintian could feel a majestic aura exude from it, making him want to kneel down. 

Plop!

Some people among the crowd could not stand its aura and directly knelt down on the ground. Their entire bodies were drenched in cold sweats, and they could not raise their heads no matter how hard they tried. 

While others were suffocating by the majestic aura, Lin Xinyao did not seem to be affected at all. On the contrary, she felt the aura was extremely familiar, but she still could not pinpoint out. 

Of course, she had thought about her mother's origin, but the information she had was too small to connect the dot between this place and the Divine Moon Clan.

At this moment, Hongyue walked toward the throne and sat down comfortably. She swept her gaze over the crowd and said with a smile. "Welcome to the Moon Palace. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Hongyue, the first princess of the Divine Moon Clan."

Hearing this, Yun Lintian and Lin Xinyao involuntarily glanced at each other in shock.
