“Things inside the Shadowfen Depths must be quite dire, right?”
Sanaa continued, “Take us to the Shadowfen Depths. We can help you!”
“How do you know the situation in the Shadowfen Depths is dire?” Braxton Wood frowned. “Who exactly are you?”
“Do you recognize this?” Sanaa took out a palm-sized, semi-transparent object from her storage ring and held it up to him.
“Hmm?” Upon seeing the object, Braxton Wood’s pupils contracted again.
He immediately released his spiritual power to cover it.
After a moment, he withdrew his spiritual power and bowed to Sanaa. “I apologize for my rudeness. Please forgive me, miss.”
“Lead the way!” Sanaa put the object back into her storage ring and spoke.
“Please, miss!” Braxton Wood made a gesture of invitation.
He then led the two of them forward through the air, and the Human-Faced Resentful Spirit disappeared.
“Miss Sanaa, what was that thing you showed him?” Billy asked curiously.
“Don’t ask!” Sanaa interrupted him. “It’s not time for you to know yet.”
After about two quarters of an hour, the three finally emerged from the mist.
Braxton Wood continued to lead them through the air for about ten thousand miles before stopping. Billy looked around and saw a dark void.
What surprised Billy was a tombstone about a thousand meters ahead, floating in mid-air and standing several hundred meters tall.
Billy also noticed that the tombstone had many cracks on it.
Apart from that, there was nothing else!
He finally understood why Sanaa called Braxton Wood the Tomb Keeper.
“Miss Sanaa, is that the entrance to the Shadowfen Depths?” Billy pointed at the tombstone and asked.
“Yes!” Sanaa nodded.
“Elder Braxton!” At this moment, a group of eight or nine people flew over from not far away.
All of them were at the mid to late stages of the Mystic Kun Realm, with the strongest being an old woman at ninth-rank Mystic Kun Realm, the same level as Braxton Wood.
“These two are Miss Sanaa and Mr. Billy!” Braxton Wood introduced them.
“Greetings, Miss Sanaa and Mr. Billy!” The group bowed in greeting.
Everyone’s eyes lingered on Billy’s face for a moment, clearly having heard of his reputation.
“No need for formalities!” Miss Sanaa waved her hand and looked at Braxton Wood. “Can you tell us the specific situation inside?”
“I don’t know too many details,” Braxton Wood shook his head with a slightly serious expression. “I only know that strong members of the Nightshade Clan have awakened. I fought one of them and was severely injured in one move!”
“In my estimation, even if they haven’t reached Half-Step God Realm, they are very close!”
In martial arts, above the Kun Realm is the God Realm!
The God Realm is divided into three sub-levels: Entering God Realm, Breaking God Realm, Extinguishing God Realm!
The difference between God Realm and Kun Realm is like night and day!
A martial artist who breaks into Entering God Realm can be considered one of the gods, ruling over a region of stars!
“With the awakening of the Nightshade Clan, that tombstone might not hold for much longer!” Braxton Wood looked thoughtfully at the tombstone.
“They shouldn’t have awakened so quickly. Do you know who caused it?” Sanaa frowned slightly and asked.
“The Abyssal Clan somehow learned that there was a Heaven Book inside, so they sent their High Priest with people into the Shadowfen Depths to find it, inadvertently breaking the taboo,” Braxton Wood replied.
“How did they get in?” Billy asked.
“They captured one of our people!” Braxton Wood responded.
“I knew it was them!” Sanaa frowned again. “What’s the situation with the Demonic Ghost?”
“The seal there hasn’t been broken yet, so it’s safe for now,” Braxton Wood paused before adding, “But with the Nightshade Clan awakening, that seal might also be in danger.”
“Alright,” Sanaa nodded. “You stay here while Billy and I go inside to take a look!”
“Miss Sanaa, let me take some people in with you,” Braxton Wood hesitated before speaking. “It’s very unsafe inside right now!”
“No need!” Sanaa replied. “You stay here. If you see any Nightshade Clan members coming out, don’t hold back!”
“Alright,” Braxton Wood didn’t insist on going with them.
After a brief pause, he asked again, “Miss Sanaa, the Abyssal Clan will definitely send more people in. Should we stop them?”
“No need,” Sanaa said. “If they want to send themselves to their deaths, let them.”
“Understood,” Braxton Wood nodded.
After speaking, Braxton Wood raised his hand to form a seal and sent it towards the tombstone.
In the next moment, ripples appeared in the middle of the tombstone, followed by a vortex.
“Let’s go!” Sanaa said as she led Billy towards the vortex through the air.
“Elder Braxton, who is she?” After they left, a man asked Braxton Wood.
“I’m not sure either,” Braxton Wood replied thoughtfully. “But we can only rely on them to deal with this crisis with the Nightshade Clan!”
“If even they can’t handle it, then the eighth-tier star domain is in grave danger!”
“Elder Braxton, with the strength of the Nightshade Clan, relying only on Miss Sanaa and Mr. Billy might not be enough…” The man responded.
“Miss Sanaa has companions,” Braxton Wood paused before adding. “If I’m not mistaken, they should already be on their way. Let’s hope they succeed!”
“This mess was caused by the Abyssal Clan. They should…” Another man began.
“It’s about time anyway. Even without the Abyssal Clan’s interference, the Nightshade Clan’s awakening was imminent,” Braxton Wood replied.
After some thought, he instructed them, “Spread the word that not only has a Heaven Book been found inside Shadowfen Depths but also treasures from the Nightshade Clan!”
“Elder Braxton, what’s the purpose of this?” The man asked.
“The more people go in, the safer Miss Sanaa and Mr. Billy will be!” The old woman leading them answered for Braxton Wood.
“Understood!” The group nodded.
Meanwhile, Sanaa and Billy had already passed through the tombstone and entered Shadowfen Depths.
The environment inside was just as Billy had imagined-an entire void filled with gray mist, similar to Deadland he had visited recently.
In sight were several palace complexes, most of which had collapsed. There were ruins everywhere, overgrown with weeds-a desolate scene.
“Miss Sanaa, I think we’re being watched,” Billy said as he looked at Sanaa.
As soon as he entered this space, he sensed several presences around them.
“If they don’t make a move, ignore them,” Sanaa nodded slightly.
“Alright,” Billy replied before asking again. “Miss Sanaa, where are we going?”
“First, let’s get our hands on the Heaven Book,” Sanaa responded.
“The Heaven Book inside Shadowfen Depths is the fourth volume and also the last one in the eighth-tier star domain. The remaining four volumes are all in the ninth-tier star domain!”
After a brief pause, she asked, “By the way, have you fully comprehended those volumes of Heaven Book you have?”
“I’ve almost finished with the first three volumes. They’re all about body techniques,” Billy replied. “I haven’t had time to look at the one Miss Fairy gave me.”
“The one she gave you should be the fifth volume of Heaven Book. Check it out when you have time,” Sanaa said.
“Alright,” Billy responded.
About half an hour later, they landed on an open space…
