The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3630 The Remnant Soul of the Ruins

Major powers?

Are they the forces to which the various gods belong?

If that's the case, then the Moon Reflection Sect is really no match for them.

Lin Chen already knew about the chaotic history of the Sixth District. In the early days, various celestial forces entered the Sixth District, fighting each other for territory and driving out the original forces. That period was the time when the fighting in the Sixth District was the most intense and the deadliest.

Although the Moon Reflection Sect lives aloof from the world, this is only its attitude towards the outside world. It does not mean that such a powerful sect as the Moon Reflection Sect does not control the land of the Great Mask.

How can we collect cultivation resources if we don't control a large area?

Hiding in the Yingyue Mountains and drinking the wind, huh?

It's obvious that the Moon Reflection Sect is blocking our way.

"The Yingyue Sect was unwilling to hand over its actual controlled territory, so a battle ensued. No one knows exactly how long the battle lasted, but the final result was that the once powerful Yingyue Sect was destroyed."

Lin Chen was filled with disappointment. Creation God, you're so unreliable!

Why are you making Modir carry your heart treasure chest around everywhere? You might as well tell him to just bury your heart somewhere, and then he can retrieve it himself after he escapes. Wouldn't that be much better?
Lin Chen feigned surprise and asked, "Dozens of saints, with such formidable strength, were all wiped out?"

The shop assistant laughed and said, "Sages are powerful, but there are different levels among them. Even if sages fight, people will die. Two will die today, three will die tomorrow, but how long can dozens of sages last?"

"The Moon Reflection Sect was at its peak tens of thousands of years ago. In such a chaotic place as the Sixth District, it's quite normal for it to have disappeared over such a long period of time..."

Lin Chen asked unwillingly, "Since those forces attacked the Yingyue Sect for its territory, did they not take over the sect after they destroyed it and establish their own power here? Who manages the Yingyue Mountain Range now?"

The shop assistant answered fluently, "It belongs to the territory of the Earth Dragon Society. They control the entire Yingyue Mountain Range and even a large area outside it."

Lin Chen feigned concern and asked, "If we enter the Moon Reflection Mountain Range, will we run into the Earth Dragon Society? Will they not allow us to enter the Moon Reflection Mountain Range?"

The shop assistant chuckled, "They do indeed treat the Moon Reflection Mountains as a garden where they produce various medicinal herbs, minerals, and monster products. However, quite a few people still venture in to take risks. The Moon Reflection Mountains are so vast; just don't get discovered by their people."

Ning Hesheng asked, "What if we get discovered?"

The shop assistant chuckled: "If you get caught, you'll be severely punished. Not only will all your loot be confiscated, but your own belongings will also be taken. Of course, you might also be killed, since there are no rules here."

"If you are strong enough, you can openly seek out what you want. As long as they can't afford to offend you, they will pretend not to see it."

Ning Hesheng chuckled and said, "You're quite pragmatic, aren't you? Bullying the weak and fearing the strong, huh?"

The shop assistant lowered his voice: "Although the Earth Dragon Society occupies this large area, its strength is only so-so. Only the leader is a saint, and the other subordinates are all quasi-saints or lower in strength."

Ning Hesheng's eyes lit up: "A sage can seize such a large territory?"

The shop assistant laughed and said, "This is just a small area. The Yingyue Mountains are only tens of thousands of miles long. Compared to the entire Sixth District, it is just a tiny place, a mere drop in the ocean."

Ning Hesheng turned to look at Lin Chen, his eyes gleaming with eager anticipation.

Clearly, upon hearing that the Earth Dragon Society only had one sage, Ning Hesheng had an idea: either to take his place or to rob the society.

Lin Chen asked, "How strong is the leader of the Earth Dragon Society?"

The shop assistant shook his head and said, "How would I know? Everyone only knows that he is a saint, but outsiders don't know his specific strength."

Lin Chen nodded and then turned the topic back to the Yingyue Sect: "Was the Yingyue Sect completely wiped out, or did too many people die, reduce its strength, and move elsewhere?" The shopkeeper shook his head: "I don't know. After all, for us, the Yingyue Sect is already a legendary sect."

Lin Chen asked, "Do you know the exact location of the Moon Reflection Sect?"

The shop assistant shook his head, indicating he didn't know.

Lin Chen didn't make things difficult for him and let him go.

Ning Hesheng asked, "What exactly are you looking for?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "An old man asked me to help him find something, and I agreed. I should at least give it a try."

Lin Chen hasn't told Ning Hesheng about the creation of the God of Creation yet, anyway, it doesn't matter whether he knows about it or not.

Seeing that Lin Chen wouldn't elaborate, Ning Hesheng stopped asking and instead leaned his head closer.

"The Earth Dragon Society has one Saint, but we have four. Shall we pull off a heist?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Do you want to seize the territory, or the resources he has?"

Ning Hesheng chuckled: "Only children make choices, adults want it all! This place is far from those big powers, making it quite suitable as our initial development base. Once we control the Earth Dragon Society, we can expand outwards, swallow up the surrounding smaller powers, and integrate them together. Then we can become big landowners, sitting back and collecting rent every day, making a fortune."

Lin Chen nodded: "It's not impossible, but let's go to the ruins of the Yingyue Sect first and see if we can find anything."

"Let's eat first. We can ask around in the city later. The Moon Reflection Sect was a major sect before. Even if it was destroyed, there's no way no one would be interested in its ruins."

After finishing their meal, the two of them went around the city, trying different methods to inquire about the Yingyue Sect.

I asked many people, and most of them vaguely remembered the legend of the Moon Reflection Sect, but couldn't explain why, while a few had no recollection at all.

It wasn't until Lin Chen asked an extremely old member of the Xuan Turtle Clan that his words made Lin Chen's eyes suddenly light up.

"I know the location of the Yingyue Sect ruins, but you'd better not go. It would be such a pity to die so young..."

Lin Chen feigned surprise and asked, "Wasn't the Yingyue Sect destroyed?"

The old man sighed and said, "Yes, the Yingyue Sect is destroyed, but we don't know if there are any mysterious formations in its ruins. In any case, many adventurers who went to the ruins hoping to find something good ended up dying there silently. It is said that the remnant souls of powerful members of the Yingyue Sect reside here and will appear at certain special times."

"Because the Moon Reflection Sect was destroyed, the remnant souls of its powerful members harbored resentment and took their anger out on all the adventurers who came to the ruins, regarding them as their former enemies..."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "Does everyone who goes to explore the ruins die?"

"Not really."

The old man replied, "Some people die, while others are unharmed. There's no pattern to it. If you don't want to die, it's best not to go. Otherwise, how will you know if you're the one who will die?"

Haunted?

Remnant formation?

Some died, and some didn't?

There's something fishy!

Could this have anything to do with Modir?
