Chapter 514 Hidden
"Miss Su!"

Although the clan leader and elders had never met Su Muyao, they had seen her portrait in Yue Wuhen's study, so they could recognize her at a glance.

Even though Su Muyao looks somewhat different from the portrait, the bell she's holding, and the fact that she was able to enter this place, tells everyone who knows her identity.

……

Soon, Su Muyao and Wen Nanxi were taken to the main hall of the Moon Clan by the Moon Clan patriarch and others to discuss matters.

After thinking for a moment, Su Muyao decided to tell the Moon Clan Chief the truth about Yue Wuhen's situation.

She was prepared for the wrath of the Moon Clan.

But she should bear the responsibility that is hers to bear. Perhaps the Moon Clan still has a way to quickly condense Yue Wuhen's soul.

Strangely, the Moon Clan Chief and several important elders remained calm and showed little shock.

Su Muyao's expression changed, and she even wondered if everyone was indifferent to Yue Wuhen's life or death.
Seeing Su Muyao's unpleasant expression, the clan leader explained, "Miss Su, we were actually prepared for this a long time ago."

Su Muyao was shocked and asked incredulously, "Mental preparation?"

The clan leader said, "That's right. Back then, when the High Priest took Wuhen to the Star Gazing Mountain on the Azure Beast Continent, he discovered some things."

“He told us when he came back that he was facing a life-or-death ordeal, which was related to his wife and also closely related to the survival of the beast world.”

"Since it is related to the survival of the beast world, his life and death cannot be interfered with."

"And Miss Su, your engagement with Wuhen was arranged by the High Priest and your grandfather."

"We realized then that perhaps his existence was meant to save you."

"Because pure witch blood possesses this ability."

The Grand Elder nodded and said, "That's true. We are also heartbroken, but there's nothing we can do. Our Moon Clan was once a branch of the Witch Clan. The Witch Clan possesses supernatural abilities, which are a gift from heaven. This divinely bestowed power is meant to enable us to protect the Beast World."

This is their duty and mission, and every member of the Wu Clan beastmen understands this.

Hearing these words, Su Muyao felt increasingly heavy-hearted and distressed.

If Yue Wuhen existed, and Yue Wuhen became his beast husband just to save her, how unfair that would be to him.

Su Muyao felt a heavy weight in her chest, as if she couldn't breathe. "This is so unfair to him."

The clan chief spoke up: "Miss Su, the Witch Clan never considers fairness when making decisions. Just like 100,000 years ago, when the Witch Clan sacrificed themselves, they were willing to sacrifice themselves as long as they could protect the Beast World."

"The same applies to us."

If one day they are needed to sacrifice their lives to protect the beast world, they will not hesitate to do so.

This is also the kind of education they received from childhood.

The Second Elder added, "Miss Su, actually the High Priest didn't tell Yue Wuhen about these things at first."

"Only the Grand Elder and a few others know about this; most of the other elders are unaware of it."

"Wuhen didn't know about this. He only knew that he had a marriage contract and that he would marry into the Su family at a certain time."

"You should know what happened next."

Su Muyao nodded and said, "Yes, I know."

Yue Wuhen was practically invisible in the Su family mansion, spending most of his time in seclusion cultivating.

Later, when she returned to the Beast Emperor City from the Beiluo tribe and needed the Moon Clan beastmen to remove the Gu worms from the Empress, she met Yue Wuhen again and learned many things.

It turns out that back then, Yue Wuhen already knew about the existence of evil spirits.

Moreover, because his grandfather had given him some instructions, Yue Wuhen could not interfere.

So he simply went into seclusion to cultivate.

There was also the brocade pouch he gave her. In the pouch, she saw a glimpse of her grandfather's light, which told her that she must treat Yue Wuhen and the Yue Clan beastmen kindly.

So did Grandfather know from the beginning that Yue Wuhen would sacrifice herself for her?
She still remembered what he said at the time. "When I met Mr. Su, he touched my bones and then took my master to a stargazing mountain. I fell asleep that night."

"When I woke up, Mr. Su looked at me and sighed. I don't know why. Mr. Su was talking to my master in private and didn't let me hear it."

There were many things I didn't understand at the time, but now, looking back, I can finally understand what happened.

Perhaps my grandfather observed something on the Star Gazing Mountain and saw something in the future, which is why he sighed at Yue Wuhen?

Su Muyao looked at the clan leader and the others and asked, "Clan leader, Yue Wuhen, can he come back to life?"

This is what Su Muyao is most worried about.

The clan chief shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

"The high priest did not say."

"But the high priest must have his reasons for doing these things."

Seeing Su Muyao's reddened eyes, the Grand Elder said, "Miss Su, there's no need to worry. I think Wuhen was willing to sacrifice himself to save you."

"You may not know this, but his study has always had a portrait of you hanging on it."

Su Muyao was somewhat surprised, and at the same time, she felt even more guilty. She should have known these things sooner, and she should have been even kinder to him.

"Does the Moon Clan have any way to help Yue Wuhen gather his soul back more quickly?"

The clan chief and elders all shook their heads; they had no way to address this.

"Perhaps only the return of the High Priest can provide a solution."

Su Muyao asked, "Where is the High Priest of the Moon Clan now?"

The clan chief explained, "The high priest has been searching for the Temple of Wushan, but we don't know where it is now."

"But the High Priest said something when he came back before, saying that he found clues to the Temple of Wushan in the Great Wilderness Mountain region of the Azure Beast Continent. We don't know if he has found it or not."

The Great Wilderness Mountain?

If that's the case, she'll also go to the Great Wilderness Mountain to look for it.

"Chieftain, elders, may I ask if the Witch Clan was truly wiped out 100,000 years ago?"

The clan chief nodded and said, "That's right. Only our branch of bloodline survived, but we can't use the word 'witch,' so we used the name 'Moon Clan.' Otherwise, this branch might not have survived either."

"Moreover, in the earliest days, the witch blood in our bodies was hidden by our ancestors so that it would not be detected or discovered."

"You may find it strange, but that's the truth. There must be a very strong force that doesn't allow the Witch Clan to survive."

"That power triggered the cataclysmic disaster 100,000 years ago. At that time, the entire Wu Clan mobilized to stop that power."

"At the same time, a secret method was used to seal the divinely bestowed bloodline power of the Wu clan into the Wu clan's magical artifact. Only when a true divinely bestowed person appears among the descendants of my Moon Clan can they obtain the bloodline power left behind by the ancestors of the Wu clan."

"It is said that the Wushan Temple was also built in a unique place, and it also sealed something away."

As if remembering something, the clan chief looked at Su Muyao and asked, "When you came from the mountains of southern Xinjiang, were you attacked?"

Su Muyao shook her head and said, "At the beginning of the attack, it was this bell that saved us. The vines seemed to be afraid of it and dared not come near us."

The clan chief sighed and said, "Only pure witch blood can seal those things. Now, 100,000 years have passed, and the sealing power has weakened."

Su Muyao's expression changed. "Does the clan leader mean that there's something wrong with those vines and plants?"

"I can sense a mysterious power and aura in the surrounding mountains and forests."

The clan leader knew that Su Muyao was closely related to the survival of the Beast World, so he did not hide certain things from her.

"Indeed, there are reasons why our Moon Clan chose to settle in this place."

"It's to suppress what's underground."
