Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 307 Crescent City

Let reading always be a chapter faster than others.

Two days later, after everything was ready, the group officially headed to Crescent City. In addition to Han Kexin and her group of five, Zhu Yihu, Kaiming, and Feifei, who had come to join them, also accompanied them. This operation could be described as a full-scale mobilization.

Han Kexin led the group to a teleportation array leading to Crescent City. The so-called teleportation array was actually a huge crystal coffin. Perhaps to prevent humans from entering Crescent City, all the teleportation arrays leading to Crescent City were inside the coffin. This is also why all the legends about vampires begin in the coffin.

However, the crystal coffin in front of everyone was much larger than the one in the secret chamber of the Church of Saint Teresa. It could teleport five people at a time, after all, this was one of the main passages between the two worlds.

According to Han Kexin, these teleportation arrays located in the coffins were created by Nuwa herself in ancient times. The reason for creating these channels was twofold: firstly, to prevent the demon race from invading the human world on a large scale, and secondly, to allow the Blood Witch Clan to replenish their numbers in Crescent City at any time in order to deal with the demon race in Buzhou Realm.

There are nine main passages in this world, located in various corners of the world. As for the number of secondary passages, no one can say for sure, because many secondary passages were lost in the ancient battles between the demon race and the blood witch race and were not recorded. The one in the Church of Saint Virtue is an example.

After staring at the crystal coffin for a long time, Han Kexin turned her head and glanced at Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi, saying, "Before we go over there, there are some things I need to tell you. After you cross over from here, you will reach Crescent City. Crescent City is actually quite similar to here, the only difference being that there is no ultraviolet radiation there, so you don't need to be too nervous."

Han Kexin paused for a moment and then continued, "Because your bloodline is different from ours, you will be easily identified by other Blood Witch Clan members once you get there. Be careful and try not to get into conflicts with them. But you don't need to worry, because we will take care of them."

Upon hearing her words, Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi nodded simultaneously. Then, Zhou Bin walked to the crystal coffin, extended his right hand, and channeled a certain amount of spiritual power into the side of the crystal coffin. As a result, the lid of the huge crystal coffin in front of him slid open slowly to one side automatically.

"Zhu Yihu, take Zhou Bin, Qin Xiaochuan, and Kaiming first, and I'll take the rest of you in the second batch." Han Kexin arranged the order in which everyone went in, and then Zhu Yihu was the first to crawl into the crystal coffin.

Although Qin Xiaochuan had a strong aversion to crawling into the coffin, he had no other choice at the moment and had to follow Zhou Bin inside, lying down next to him. Han Kexin closed the coffin lid for them.

Zhu Yihu first placed one hand on the activation point of the teleportation array, and then silently recited a spell. The teleportation array in the crystal coffin immediately lit up with streaks of blue light, just like Qin Xiaochuan had encountered in the Land of Witches. The blue light grew brighter and brighter until it completely engulfed his vision, and then a feeling of weightlessness washed over him.

After a brief period of dizziness, when Qin Xiaochuan regained his senses, he looked around and found himself in a room entirely made of jade, covered with blue teleportation arrays. Just as he was surveying the room, a strong blue light flashed again. When the light faded, Han Kexin and the others were already in front of him.

After leaving the room, they went directly to Crescent City. As Han Kexin said, Crescent City was almost the same as the human world. The difference was that Crescent City did not have tall buildings or a constant flow of vehicles. This was easy to understand because Crescent City was sparsely populated, and there was no need to build such tall buildings. Therefore, the entire city was full of one- or two-story Gothic buildings.

As for transportation, it is obviously superfluous, because the Blood Witch Clan naturally has wings and can fly. In addition, the area of ​​Crescent City is not very large. An adult Blood Witch can fly around Crescent City in just two hours. As for the world outside Crescent City, even if there were transportation, it would be unusable.

Time here seems to be different from that in Huaxu Village, because when everyone came from Huaxu Village it was still morning, but it is now night in Crescent City. The entire Crescent City is lit up with a dark red neon light, of course, these lights exist purely as decorations.

In the eyes of the Blood Witch Clan, silver represents nobility, black represents safety, and red represents beauty and allure. This is probably related to their lifestyle. Because of this, silver wings represent the supreme power of the Blood Witch King.

After hearing Han Kexin's introduction, Qin Xiaochuan realized that the time system in Crescent City was completely different from that in Huaxu City, and was basically the opposite. That is to say, when it was daytime in the human world, it was nighttime in Crescent City. Since there was no ultraviolet radiation in Crescent City, the blood witches living in Crescent City, like humans, were active during the day and rested at night, and did not need to be nocturnal.

The Blood Witch Clan frequently needs to consume blood to replenish their energy, and the blood they require is obtained from the Unbounded Realm outside Crescent City. Outside Crescent City are vast forests inhabited by all sorts of monsters.

The Blood Witch Clan can only obtain fresh blood by hunting demonic beasts, which were the demonic races driven in by Nuwa and the Witch Clan in ancient times. The Blood Witch Clan's mission is to guard those ancient primordial demonic beasts.

Since the Blood Witch Clan is a branch of the Witch Clan and was established by Nuwa herself, they have shared a common belief since their birth: the Goddess Nuwa. The five high priests are there to assist the Blood Witch King in managing Crescent Moon City, in accordance with the will of the Goddess Nuwa.

Their initial location was near the edge of Crescent City, in a place called the Land of New Life. In the Land of New Life, there was a huge stone statue of Nuwa. The so-called Land of New Life was a huge stone array centered on the stone statue of Nuwa, consisting of a cemetery and nine teleportation arrays leading to various parts of the world.

A legend has been passed down among the Blood Witch Clan since ancient times: if a member of the Blood Witch Clan dies, the clan members will cremate him and bury him in the cemetery of the Land of Rebirth. The soul of the deceased will then return to Huaxu through the magic array in the Land of Rebirth and be reborn as a normal human.

Leaving the teleportation array, the group walked along the stone path in the newly formed land and soon arrived at the Nuwa statue in the center. Qin Xiaochuan then noticed that several people, men and women, were kneeling at the foot of the statue, all lying motionless on the ground. Some of them did not utter a word, like still sculptures, which looked very eerie. Others were muttering incantations. Qin Xiaochuan vaguely heard the words "May you be free from all evil for a thousand years and ten thousand calamities." Qin Xiaochuan felt that these words sounded familiar, but he could not remember where he had heard them before.

When she saw these people, Han Kexin simply glanced at them and walked past them without saying a word, as if such a thing was perfectly normal in Crescent City.

As Qin Xiaochuan walked past them, he couldn't help but slow his pace and steal a glance at them out of the corner of his eye. He noticed that they were all wearing black cloaks, and one of them was a woman in her twenties. He could just see her profile. She had her hands on the ground with the backs of her hands, her face pressed against her hands, her eyes closed, and her expression was extremely devout, as if she were praying.

After walking quite a distance, Qin Xiaochuan quietly asked Han Kexin what those people were doing.

Han Kexin's expression remained indifferent, but instead of directly answering his question, she countered with, "What can a desperate person do?"

People who are desperate for reality can only place their hopes on some ethereal god, Qin Xiaochuan thought. Han Kexin's answer had confirmed his inner thoughts; those people were indeed praying.

"It looks so desolate. I wonder what drove them to despair," he couldn't help but sigh.

Upon hearing this, Han Kexin gave him a cold look and asked, "Do you think they're pitiful?"

Although Qin Xiaochuan knew this was a very disrespectful attitude, he couldn't help but nod.

Just then, the group arrived at the entrance to the Land of Rebirth. Han Kexin pondered for a moment before saying indifferently, "Perhaps you'll soon realize they're lucky."

Why?

Han Kexin did not answer him, because after leaving the Land of Rebirth, they encountered three members of the Blood Witch Clan. They immediately sensed that Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi were not one of them, so they all cast wary glances at the group.

Han Kexin did not react to this, but the three people opposite her immediately looked away and automatically stepped aside after seeing Han Kexin.

"They seem to be afraid of you," Qin Xiaochuan asked Han Kexin after the three of them left.

"Blood Witches can clearly sense each other's generation. Those three are all fourth-generation Blood Witches. When they encounter two second-generation Blood Witches and two third-generation Blood Witches, they will naturally back down," Han Kexin said casually.

"Speaking of which, how many second-generation Blood Witches are there in Crescent City right now?"

"Besides the five high priests, it's just me and Xiaoying," Han Kexin said proudly.

"So second-generation blood witches are that rare, then I understand." Qin Xiaochuan nodded.
