Chapter 778 Misfortune of the bleeding moon (2)

Accounts suggest it was running for its life and heavily injured when it stumbled onto the two, however, even heavily injured it had been at the core formation stage, and Wen Yu a peak foundation establishment cultivator at the time, had to sacrifice her life to injure it further, creating a loud commotion in the process alerting Luo Shen who quickly came to their aid. But ultimately it was too late, his wife suffered fatal injuries and had kept herself from passing on by sheer will waiting for their daughter to be rescued, and when Luo Shen arrived, she shuffled off her mortal coil not long after.

Scarred by the events, Luo Shen never left Luo Xue's side, obsessed with keeping herself from all dangers, which led him to use all resources he had to hire her a saber instructor using the contacts of the royal blacksmith when he saw she showed interest for the bladed. That interest blossomed into talent that even garnered praise from the instructor who was famous for guiding the noble scions of the kingdom.

After 15 years, she reached the peak of the foundation establishment realm already her body had already developed saber qi. In admiration of her talents, the instructor offered to refer her to some of the large families who had the resources to help her flourish, but Luo Shen refused, having an intimate understanding of how the noble families operated during his time at the palace.

No matter how much talent she showed, without sufficient background, she would be suppressed and exploited when she got into those families.

The instructor left when he saw he had nothing left to teach her, meanwhile, Luo Shen since the death of his wife, to ensure his daughter's safety and realizing his inability to do it forever, decided to use the one thing he was good at to ensure her safety. For fifteen years, he poured everything he had into crafting her the perfect saber. He knew his talents well, and he had no illusions that he would craft her a weapon with a spirit, but because of intense determination and sacrifice, the heavens saw pity on him.

The saber he created, though it did not have a spirit, had the potential to awaken one, given the right conditions, but even without its spirit awakened, the potential was more than enough for Luo Shen who had exhausted all he had into creating it including damaging his soul in the process which in turn affected his lifespan, a fact he hid from his daughter, the truth known only by him and the blade, that he named guardian crescent moon in the hopes it would always guard and light her path in the darkest of nights hiding its edge beneath the starry skies.

He spent the remainder of his life keeping Luo Xue company making sure they made as many memories as possible before his time was up with the most pleasant one being seeing Luo Xue break through to the core formation realm easing some of his worries. It wasn't long before he passed away asking Luo Xue to live as she wished, if she wanted to leave the village and see the wider world she could but he was insistent on her being wary of the noble families of the Gentle Rock Kingdom, who, unlike the name, were anything but gentle.

After his passing, Luo Xu spent the next decade in the village mourning him, as she polished her heart whilst also bonding with her saber as she had done from the moment it was handed to her. Even though its spirit had not awakened, there was a familial established bond between the two as they continuously affected each other. Luo Xue reaching the core formation realm as fast as she did was in part due to the saber.

However, as if misfortune was hell-bent on pursuing the family, another tragedy struck the Luo family.New novel chapters are published on

After informing that elder, the Zhang family quickly dispatched a few of their clansmen to seize the saber from Luo Xue only to find she was not there. Despite her naivety, her father's warning must have rang in her mind sometime later, hence her departure.

The Zhang unwilling to give up on the blade, struck a deal with the royal family and they fabricated a tale with their support that vilified Luo Xue's father claiming he had stolen a precious saber from them whilst he worked as a blacksmith for the royal family and it only came to light thanks to the Instructor.

They framed Luo Xue too saying she refused to listen to reason and killed a few of their retainers who had been sent to her to explain the situation in good faith. Painted as a villain, the whole kingdom turned on her, and it wasn't long before she was found. Three months was how long it had taken and in those three months, she had experienced the depravity of the human heart.

The charade didn't stop there because when she was apprehended, a few days later she was beheaded with that saber. The saber meant to protect was the one that doomed her. Her death and anguish become a trigger for the awakening of the saber's spirit, which in retaliation for her death, immediately after awakening, slaughtered every single person present, those involved in the execution and those witnessing it.

It did not matter whether they had been involved or not, every single person within a kilometer radius of the place where Luo Xue was executed, died by being beheaded.

The saber had been pure white just like the moon, but from that day it transformed into a moon that cried in blood which was the form that its spirit took, a lady with white hair garbed with white and sorrow, crying tears of blood.

The Zhang family from root to stem were slaughtered, which continued to the royal family where every single person in the palace was slaughtered, except one, the royal blacksmith.

Six palace realm cultivators, over ten thousand core formation and foundation establishment experts, and countless qi refinement cultivators numbering in the hundreds of thousands were slaughtered by her in two weeks drenching the execution ground, the zhang household, and the royal palace in blood.

After the bloodbath, she left for the village where Luo Xue lived with her body in hand, buried her next to her father's grave, and stood vigil for them, where she remained until the other noble families afraid to confront her, forwarded the case of her slaughter to the Order who apprehended her afterward.
