Chapter 2300: Shadow Demon
Que Zang's entire body turned frighteningly red. His eyes filled with murderous intent as if he was about to go berserk. The Mad Monk title wasn't just a decoration.
"Calm down," Yun Lintian reached out to pat Que Zang's shoulder.
"Who is it?" Que Zang uttered coldly as he stared at Yue Lan with red eyes.
His Senior Brother Mu Zang was like a biological brother to him. They grew up together from as early as he could remember. The two went from beggars to sheepherders and finally entered the Divine Temple to become monks. Que Zang couldn't accept the fact that his Senior Brother was gone.
"He sacrificed himself to seal the cracks on the Primal Chaos Wall," Yue Lan said softly.
Que Zang slumped back to his seat upon hearing this. "No way... Why?" he murmured in a daze.
"Three hundred thousand years ago, several cracks appeared on the Primal Chaos Wall, and many Shadow Demons poured into the Primal Chaos. Countless lives were lost that day. Your Senior Brother was on his way to visit the God of Order and happened to encounter a horde of Shadow Demons. He exterminated them and went straight to the wall," Yue Lan said gently. "While the God of Order and the others were on their way, your Senior Brother decided to use his life to block the enemy in an attempt to delay the Shadow Demon Generals from entering the Primal Chaos. When the God of Order and the War God arrived, he was on his last leg and used the sealing technique to patch the cracks."
"Senior Brother, he..." Que Zang's entire body trembled, and tears welled up in his eyes. He had zero doubt in the story as Mu Zang was the kindest person he had ever encountered in his life. He wouldn't hesitate to use his life to save others.
"Your Senior Brother is a hero," Yue Lan said softly. "Unfortunately, the God of Order was too rigid. He didn't allow anyone to release you even though your Senior Brother had sacrificed his life."
Que Zang didn't say anything. He was well aware of the God of Order's extremely strict personality. It was impossible for him to bend the rules. Otherwise, Ji Xiaoman wouldn't have been imprisoned for her crime that wasn't even a crime from the beginning.
On the side, Yun Lintian frowned deeply. The Shadow Demon, the Primal Chaos Wall-they were perfectly aligned with the story he heard inside the Moon Graveyard back in the God Tomb. What he saw that day would definitely happen here in the near future.
Yun Lintian frowned deeply. He couldn't understand why they had to risk their lives venturing into the unknown outside the wall. What could possibly attract them to leave the Primal Chaos unguarded?
"Who's staying behind?" Yun Lintian asked.
"As far as I know, the Scholar God should still be here as well as the God of Time," Yue Lan replied.
Yun Lintian nodded slowly. With the God of Time here, the Primal Chaos should be safe. After all, he was certain the God of Time was the actual strongest among the Primordial Gods in both worlds.
"The God of Order has left as well?" Que Zang raised his head and asked. His eyes brimmed with anger. If it weren't for the God of Order, his Senior Brother wouldn't have gone to visit him and lost his life on the way.
"I know you are furious, but it is unfair to blame him. And yes, the God of Order has left," Yue Lan tried to persuade Que Zang as she didn't want to see him die pointlessly.
"I see," Que Zang calmed down and drank a few mouthfuls of wine. No one knew what he was thinking at the moment.
Yun Lintian had no time to pay attention to Que Zang. He was thinking about the entire situation. Could his world be the same? Was there the Shadow Demon as well?
From the "prophecy" he saw in the God Tomb, it seemed the Shadow Demons would eventually break into this Primal Chaos. Wouldn't this mean the Primordial Gods failed to
stop them?
Several questions appeared in Yun Lintian's mind, and he had no answer.
Yun Lintian thought for a moment and looked at Yue Lan. "If you believe me, Senior, you must prepare for a war from now on."
