The news that the Eternal Moon Divine Tribe’s elder was coming to retrieve Yue’er made Shen Xiang and Shui Bingyan even more anxious. They moved at full speed.
"They must have realized that Yue’er left on her own and used some secret techniques to track her. Using such a秘法 might have consequences for them, otherwise they would have directly searched for Yue’er in the City of Unity instead of using this method," Shen Xiang analyzed. He guessed that the elder’s use of秘法 might weaken his power, which would be advantageous to them.
If the elder really was the Second Master of the Eternal Moon Divine Tribe, his strength would definitely be very powerful. Even Shui Bingyan might not be able to handle him, and in that case, saving Yue’er would only lead to her death instead.
Shen Xiang moved at full speed, reaching the area where Yue’er was within half a day.
"Big Brother Shen, we can stop now. The old man is already with Yue’er," Shui Bingyan said. Although she was straightforward, she knew that being discovered by them wasn’t good.
After stopping, Shen Xiang used the spatial field to envelop him and Shui Bingyan to avoid being discovered. Then he slowly moved towards the position where she was said to be.
The place was full of large black rocks, and within thousands of miles in radius, there were only these strange stones. Shen Xiang sensed a hint of star energy within those rocks and realized that the black rocks were fragments from falling stars.
"Yue’er stopped here and stayed," Shui Bingyan said.
Suddenly, Shen Xiang understood that the elder from the Eternal Moon Divine Tribe didn’t have the ability to track Yue’er. He just guessed that Yue’er would come here because there were countless star fragments, and this might be somehow related to her.
He could see that these giant rocks had existed for a long time, and even now there was still a trace of star energy within them. Clearly, these falling stars weren’t ordinary ones.
"Yue’er, you can’t be behaving badly now. Something serious has happened in the tribe, and everyone misses you a lot after being out for so long. You have to return now," Shen Xiang heard an old voice coming, which sounded very kind and not like someone who was plotting something.
Then Yue’er’s sweet childlike voice echoed, "I’m not going back now. I want to stay here for a while longer. Old man, tell them that I also miss them. When I’m in a better mood, I’ll naturally return on my own."
It was smart of Yue’er to not directly ask the elder about the Cycle Sacrifice. She knew that revealing it would definitely have a bad outcome, leading to her being caught back home, so she pretended not to know and tried to negotiate with him.
Seeing that Yue’er was determined not to go back, the elder wasn’t suspicious but instead felt a little angry. The Cycle Sacrifice was coming soon, and if they couldn’t kill Yue’er now, the living Yue’er could provide them with power. This was something they couldn’t allow.
"Yue’er, no matter what, you have to come back with me today!" The elder’s face darkened as he said firmly, "If you don’t obediently follow me back, then I’ll have to forcefully bring you back!"
Seeing the sky, although it was daytime and there was only a blue sky in the air, Yue’er seemed to be lost in thought. She suddenly meowed and said, "Wasn’t I like this before Every time at this time, wouldn’t I come here and not want to go back"
Listening to this, the elder was shocked. He stared at Yue’er sitting on a black stone as she continued, "It’s just like my sudden feeling. This sensation is very familiar, it feels like I’ve experienced this many times."
At this moment, Shen Xiang was very nervous. If Yue’er spoke these words, the elder would definitely take drastic action!
"Come back with me!" Shaking from shock, the elder shouted and waved his hand to send out a huge white net. As it was about to cover Yue’er, the black stone where she sat turned red and emitted a dazzling red light. At the same time, Yue’er disappeared.
Shen Xiang was astonished from far away because it was Yue’er who controlled the star energy and made this happen.
"Star Moon Blood Shield!" The elder exclaimed in shock. His net was empty, and Yue’er wasn’t caught. At this moment, Yue’er was sitting on another black stone.
With a calm tone, Yue’er said, "This is called Star Moon Blood Shield. It sounds familiar."
Seeing Yue’er’s memory gradually returning, Shen Xiang was secretly pleased. He could see that her memories were coming back.
"This sort of thing has happened again." The elder spoke coldly. It seemed that they had experienced this before, and Yue’er would always awaken some memories just before the Cycle Sacrifice.
Yue’er suddenly asked sarcastically, "How many days until the Cycle Sacrifice All these years, you’ve held this sacrifice so many times and yet only have a little power. You guys are too useless! I’ve died so many times for nothing!"
When Yue’er said this, the elder was initially surprised. However, after careful consideration, he realized that Yue’er hadn’t awakened any memories yet; she must have known about the Cycle Sacrifice from someone else!
"Who told you these things Since you already know about the Cycle Sacrifice, there’s no need for me to hide anything from you now." The elder took out a circular disc, which seemed like an extraordinary treasure. "The only ones who know about the Cycle Sacrifice are a few of us elders and the chief. I’m curious as to who told you!"
"The Divine Emperor of Ten Thousand Creatures told me. Do you believe that Wu Chang, after all these years, don’t your hearts have even a tiny bit of guilt"
"No. Your sacrifice grants us powerful strength, and soon we’ll all become divine emperors!" Waving his expressionless face, the elder named Wu Chang said, "But we’ll thank you. Without the Cycle Sacrifice, we would definitely be eliminated and unable to advance! Using your sacrifice to obtain powerful strength is a tradition in the Star Moon Divine Tribe."
Angry, Yue’er said, "The only beneficiaries are you guys! There’s no connection to the entire Star Moon Divine Tribe!"
"Who says there isn’t Without our strength, how could the Star Moon Divine Tribe stand on equal footing with the other three great divine tribes" Wu Chang snorted.
Yue’er’s eyes suddenly turned red and she shouted, "If you hadn’t killed me so many times, the strength I have now wouldn’t only allow taking a seat alongside the other three divine tribes. Even making them submit isn’t a problem!"
"It’s precisely because you’ll become powerful that we have to kill you. Your rise will only threaten our positions," Wu Chang said cruelly, and he threw the circular disc in his hand.

The elder’s eyes gleamed, and he said, "You don’t know how fortunate you are! We can only benefit from this sacrifice. There’s no connection to the entire Star Moon Divine Tribe."
Yue’er smiled bitterly, "But don’t forget that the Star Moon Divine Tribe is still here today because of me. Without my sacrifice, you would have been thrown out and unable to survive. You guys wouldn’t be here now."
Wu Chang’s expression turned dark, and he said, "You’re too optimistic. My strength alone could have carried me beyond the Star Moon Divine Tribe and made me a divine emperor long ago. Even if I didn’t have you, my strength would still protect the Star Moon Divine Tribe from falling apart when it’s threatened. Your sacrifice was only meant to strengthen our position and give us more power than the other three divine tribes."
Yue’er’s eyes flashed, and she said fiercely, "Then I’ll make you all suffer for it! If you hadn’t killed me so many times, I would have been even stronger than the Three Great Divine Tribes. I would have grabbed control long ago and made your positions less stable, forcing you all to suffer in the dark corners of power!"
The elder’s eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, "You’re wrong. The strength we gain from your sacrifice is used to protect the Star Moon Divine Tribe and maintain its position. If any of you dare to step out of line, I’ll be the one to punish them!
"You’re not strong enough! If you had known about the Cycle Sacrifice, you would have never tried to take control and fight. You would have stayed in the shadows, waiting for the opportunity to rise again. Your sacrifice was meant to make us stronger than before and take our positions away from the other three divine tribes. That’s why it was necessary to sacrifice you like this, even though we might lose a bit of strength in the process."
Both sides were locked in a fierce argument, as Yue’er’s determination to take her revenge and Wu Chang’s stubbornness created a tense atmosphere.
The elder shouted, "You’re just a sacrifice! Your life is meaningless compared to the protection of our tribe and its future. You have no right to make such demands!"
Yue’er retorted, "Yes, I’m just a sacrifice, but your gains are only temporary! If you don’t release me now and let me return to the Star Moon Divine Tribe, I’ll never forgive you. My legacy will be a reminder of your cruelty and the imbalance in power!"
Wu Chang clenched his fists, and said firmly, "You’re wrong! The power we gain from your sacrifice is used to protect the tribe. It’s necessary for our survival and development. We can’t change that!"
As the elder’s voice echoed, he said, "Whether you’re strong or weak doesn’t matter. The goal is to protect our tribe and its future. Your sacrifice was necessary, but we can’t release you now because it would disrupt our plans and threaten the tribe’s stability. You’ll have your revenge, but not now."
The argument continued as the elder tried to convince Yue’er that releasing her was against their plans. Meanwhile, Yue’er was determined to fight for her freedom and wanted revenge on the elder for his cruelty.
The tension in the air was palpable, and it seemed that the outcome of their struggle would define the future of the Star Moon Divine Tribe.riedly."Nothing, I’m going to look at a few more pieces!" After saying this, Shen Xiang moved somewhere else. However, it was not easy to perform the Chaos Divine Eye, and he was slightly wobbly as if...
