Jiang Xiao was an introverted child. He felt uncomfortable with so many people staring at him. He shyly hid behind Ning Yao: "I... I was just guessing..."

In view of his hidden identity as a Mahayana Demon Lord, everyone in Tianshui Sect felt that his guess was correct.

Jiang Xin encouraged him: "Little Junior Brother, don't be afraid. Be more confident. What you said is the truth."

Jiang Xiao was greatly encouraged and smiled, but when he caught the attention of others, he timidly hid behind Ning Yao again.

Ning Yao felt that he had made great progress as he was able to protect the Mahayana demons from wind and rain in this life.

He, who is also an introvert, mustered up the courage to say to everyone: "Please believe what my junior brother says."

Jiang Xin agreed vigorously: "Yeah!"

Yu Ye did feel something different about Jiang Xiao. He thought for a while and said, "If they didn't want to take advantage of someone's misfortune, then the timing of the demons' invasion of the Tiancheng Spirit Realm was just too coincidental."

Chu Linfeng raised his hand and asked, "Now it is because of the seal of Immortal Mingchen that separates the Tiancheng Spirit World and the Demon World, so we and the Demon World cannot find each other. A hundred thousand years ago, without this seal, the high-level cultivators in both spirit worlds could not find each other?"

This problem has been plaguing the current world of cultivation, and everyone has turned their attention to Yu Ye.

Yu Ye looked helpless: "I don't know the situation in the Demon Realm, but the Tiancheng Spirit Realm should not know about their existence. I once heard the Immortal Venerable say that after she breaks through the bottleneck, she wants to leave the Tiancheng Spirit Realm and go to the Star Realm to see if there are other spirit realms."

Chu Linfeng was surprised: "Has Immortal Master Mingchen never been to the Star Realm before?"

"The Immortal Master has been there, but he just looked around and came back. It seems that out of some concern, the Immortal Master would not leave the Tiancheng Spiritual Realm too far." Yu Ye said the second half of the sentence very slowly, with great uncertainty.

"The World Tree is in the Star Realm. Didn't the Immortal Lord encounter it at that time?" Lin Yan asked.

Yu Ye shook his head: "No, the Immortal Venerable said that the star realm near the Tiancheng Spirit Realm has nothing but starlight."

Lin Yan could understand this: "The World Tree is probably hiding, or it is usually very far away from us. The current world barrier has been reinforced by the Immortal Venerable. Although many cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage cannot break through this barrier to reach the Star Realm, they often stick to the barrier to observe the outside world closely, and have never discovered the existence of the World Tree. It's the same reason."

"Where does the starlight come from?" Chu Linfeng asked.

This stumped everyone, because they were so used to seeing this thing that no one had ever thought about it in this way.

Only Jiang Xin said softly: "It was left by the stars in the past."

"What about the stars?" Chu Linfeng asked again.

Jiang Xin: "Dead. After being sucked dry by the World Tree, the stars died, and only these starlights are left shining from the distant starry sky."

Everyone was stunned, including Yu Ye.

They have all seen the starry sky at night and have marveled at the brilliance and splendor of the stars.

But I didn't expect that this was just the afterglow of thousands of corpses.

As if they remembered the horror of the demon tree when the disaster struck, the Moon Clan’s fear was transmitted to Yu Ye through resonance. His figure rippled and began to dissipate.

A strong reluctance appeared on his pale face: "I...I'm leaving..."

Zhao Shi opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Yu Ye, who was only a few years older than him, forced a trace of steadiness on his face. He held back his sadness and asked, "At the beginning, Yuanyuan and I discussed naming you 'Xu', which means the rising sun. You know, the moon's light comes from the sun. Later, you encountered a disaster, and I don't know if your mother used this name..."

"She used it." It was a good name, but Zhao Shi didn't like it.

This name always reminds him of the days when he and Qiao Yuan suffered in the Qiao family.

"Later, my master named me Zhaoshi, which means the sun and the moon are shining, and the world is bright and clear."

"Zhao Shi..." Yu Ye repeated it several times in a low voice, his eyes filled with satisfaction, "What a good name. Your master must be a cultured person."

Ning Yao couldn't help but think of the last time when the Third Elder, a Confucian cultivator, despised Jiang Yichen for being uneducated and asked him to read more. Jiang Yichen retorted confidently, "Read? Read shit!"

Fortunately, his name was given by his master's wife, so he doesn't have to listen to his parents praising his master against their will.

The ripples on Yu Ye's body changed more and more frequently, and gradually, even his face became blurred. "Take good care of yourself." His voice was a little erratic, and he stared at Zhao Shi without blinking, full of reluctance.

Zhao Shi, who was not good at speaking, had a momentary blank in his brain.

Yu Ye's body dimmed and almost disappeared in the blink of an eye. Zhao Shi looked at Jiang Xin instinctively: "Junior sister, can you bring them back to life?"

Jiang Xin was embarrassed: "I have no way to revive them."

"Can we mold the moonlight here into a human being just like we molded the dog?" Chu Linfeng asked.

Jiang Xin shook her head: "It's different. Xiugou was created from nothing, but these Moon Clan members already have their own souls and cannot be created again."

"Can that end their pain?" Zhao Shi asked.

The Moon Clan blood in his body was resonating with these Moon Clan members, and he could feel their current state.

These Moon Clan members are both alive and dead, in the agony of death, tormented day and night.

They are moonlight, but there is no light in their lives.

The reason why the Moon Clan's secret realm behaved completely differently this time was because the Moon Clan members wandering here felt the same blood in his body and were happy that he had escaped.

They created that village in their collective subconscious, and even had a beautiful fantasy that they defeated the evil tree without any casualties.

They just want to survive.

The roars of countless Moon Tribe members exploded in Zhao Shi’s heart. Those Moon Tribe members who had been transformed into moonlight had lost their self-awareness. Only Yu Ye could temporarily restore his self through the kinship connection between him and Yu Ye.

Zhao Shi wanted to help them.

But he was too weak.

"Junior Sister..." His voice trembled slightly, and something crystal clear rolled out of his eyes, dripped down his cheek from under the mask, and fell right into Jiang Xin's little hand.

A huge sadness engulfed Jiang Xin, causing her eyes to turn red and she cried with her mouth pursed: "I really have no way to bring them back to life. My best effort is to take them away from here and let them have a good sleep."

"Can it alleviate their pain?" Zhao Shi asked.

Jiang Xin choked and nodded.

【Wow, I'm so useless.】

"Thank you." Zhao Shi quickly wiped away her tears and tried to coax Jiang Xin while suppressing his nasal tone, "Junior sister is the best."

[Really? ]

"Junior sister is the most powerful person I have ever met." Zhao Shi said again.

"Yes, Junior Sister is the most powerful." Lin Yan agreed.

The others reacted and started praising Jiang Xin.

Jiang Xin sniffed, and her confidence returned a little. She said to Yu Ye and the countless Moon Clan members surrounding them, "Then come with me and have a good sleep."

She picked up the moonstone from Zhaoshi's hand, held it high, and sang a tuneless lullaby in her heart while crying.

[Go to sleep, my dear baby~]

An invisible force surged into Jiang Xin's body and sank into the moonstone.

The moonstone trembled slightly, and the surrounding moonlight was attracted and rushed into the moonstone rapidly.

Yu Ye's body had become so transparent that it was almost invisible, but as he stared at Jiang Xin, he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity from this child.

This familiar feeling made him feel at ease, just like... when he was with the Immortal Lord. (End of this chapter)
