947: Goddess statue, darkness avoids

Inside a large hall.

Xie Weilou sat cross-legged. He immediately took out the ten thousand souls banner and performed a Soul search on the two Creation Realm Soul Bodies.

Half an incense stick later.

Xie Weilou finished the Soul search and obtained some important information.

First, the Black Scale Tribe was indeed a faction supported by the Marquis Zhenyu.

Second, the Marquis Zhenyu was currently at the Desolate Temple, instructing the Black Scale Tribe members to continuously capture Yao Beasts. He seemed to be planning a Blood Sacrifice to release the Demon Ape suppressed inside the Desolate Temple.

This time, the Black Scale Tribe came to the Shuofeng Tribe to borrow the Dark Goddess Statue, not to analyze the so-called Dark Power, but to help the Marquis Zhenyu release the Demon Ape.

The Dark Goddess Statue is incredibly mysterious; it can make the darkness avoid it and suppress a certain power within the Desolate Temple, making it easier to release the Demon Ape.

However, borrowing the Dark Goddess Statue was just to make the process more convenient.

Even without the Goddess Statue, as long as the Black Scale Tribe captures enough Yao Beasts and performs a Blood Sacrifice, the Marquis Zhenyu still has hope of releasing the Demon Ape inside the Desolate Temple.

Third, why the Black Scale Tribe was able to control the Dark Power.

This was related to the Marquis Zhenyu!

The Marquis Zhenyu had once given the Black Scale Tribe members a Medicinal Pill to consume. That Medicinal Pill was refined by him and contained a type of power inherent to him, a power related to the Demon God Power.

Ever since the Black Scale Tribe members consumed the Medicinal Pill, a trace of Demon God Power was born within their bodies.

They could rely on the Demon God Power to devour the power of Yao Beasts, continuously strengthening that trace of Demon God Power.

Moreover, the Demon God Power was extremely peculiar and compatible; it could merge with the Dark Power, thereby helping them master a portion of the Dark Power.

This is why the Black Scale Tribe members were generally fearless of the darkness.

Xie Weilou looked thoughtful: “Demon God Power can devour Dark Power? The demon god stone from Zhongzhou Academy must have been stolen by Xiao Ruyi, and this Desolate Region even has her statue... It seems there is some connection here.”

“...”

Xie Weilou put away the ten thousand souls banner. Next time he saw Xiao Ruyi, he would have to pry open her skull to see what good stuff was inside.

——————

Evening time.

The sun slowly set, a chilling wind raged, and faint black light appeared. In the Desolate Region, numerous wild beasts fled, roared, and trembled in fear.

Once the sun sets, darkness invades and envelops the Desolate Region.

Shuofeng Tribe.

Inside the blockhouse.

All the tribe members gathered at the Altar, devoutly bowing to the Dark Goddess Statue, praying for the Dark Goddess's protection.

The Shuofeng Tribe had no Human Emperor Statue, only a single Dark Goddess Statue, which was their sole Divine Artifact for resisting the darkness.

Xie Weilou was among the crowd, and seeing everyone devoutly bowing to the statue, he found it very peculiar.

If he were asked to bow and kneel devoutly before this statue, he couldn't do it; he felt he would be lowering himself beneath Xiao Ruyi.

However, he also wanted to see how this statue helped the Shuofeng Tribe resist the darkness!

After everyone finished bowing, they sat down on the Altar, quietly awaiting the arrival of darkness, not daring to make a sound.

Time passed minute by minute.

The sky completely darkened, terrifying chilling winds swept through, and in the Desolate Region, black mist, like a million Dark Creatures, aggressively invaded, enveloping and swallowing the entire Desolate Region, accompanied by constant roaring sounds.

The Shuofeng Plain was completely shrouded in darkness, and the Vicious Beasts on the grassland continuously fled, crawled, and trembled in fear.

On the Altar.

The people of the Shuofeng Tribe also trembled slightly. They could feel that the darkness was devouring the Shuofeng Plain and rapidly approaching the blockhouse.

“...”

Xie Weilou sat calmly in a corner, releasing his Divine Soul to investigate the darkness.

Under the Divine Soul's investigation, what he sensed was still the terrifying black mist, which had already consumed the Shuofeng Plain.

That black mist seemed to possess a Soul, rushing frantically toward the Shuofeng Tribe, intent on devouring everything.

Just as the black mist approached the blockhouse, a black light emerged from the Goddess Statue on the Altar.

The black mist that had just approached immediately stopped, changed direction, and rushed towards the other areas of the Shuofeng Plain.

This black mist truly seemed to fear this statue... “Interesting!”

A smile appeared on Xie Weilou's face.

If a mere statue has such an effect, if he brought Xiao Ruyi here, could she walk unimpeded through the gray areas of the entire Desolate Region?

The Shuofeng Leader was also investigating the dark mist. Seeing the mist rush into the distance, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said: “Protected by the Dark Goddess, the black mist has rushed towards other areas! Our Shuofeng Tribe has escaped another calamity!”

“Thank the Dark Goddess!”

The members of the Shuofeng Tribe placed their hands on their chests and bowed to the Goddess Statue.

The Shuofeng Leader looked at the crowd: “The darkness still hasn't eroded this blockhouse this time, but everyone must still not be careless. We need to wait here for a while longer.”

“Understood!”

The members of the Shuofeng Tribe immediately responded.

Xie Weilou stood up and said to the Shuofeng Leader: “I'm going to the Black Scale Tribe.”

A dark and windy night is a night for murder; with the darkness sweeping through tonight, it's the perfect time for a slaughter!

Hearing this, the Shuofeng Leader immediately said: “The darkness still covers the Desolate Region. Traveling now is extremely dangerous. Why not go after dawn?”

Since the darkness began its invasion, people in the Desolate Region rarely dared to travel at night.

Xie Weilou smiled faintly: “No matter! If I dare to say such a thing, I naturally have the confidence.”

The Shuofeng Leader pondered: “It's still too risky. I'll go with you.”

In his view, although the Black Scale Tribe was extraordinary, compared to the darkness, they were completely insignificant. What was truly terrifying was the darkness; once they left the blockhouse, they would encounter darkness and find it hard to avoid.

Xie Weilou said: “I can go by myself. You just guard the Shuofeng Tribe.”

The Shuofeng Leader stood up and said in a deep voice: “Let's go together! My Shuofeng Tribe has the Goddess Statue, so the darkness won't approach any further. If I go with you, perhaps I can be of some help.”

If something happened to this young man, he wouldn't be able to explain himself to the Marquis of Eight Desolations.

Xie Weilou gave a wry smile: “Fine!”

Anyway, it wasn't a big deal, and as for the so-called darkness, it posed no threat to him.

The Shuofeng Leader immediately instructed a few Elders on some matters, then said to Xie Weilou: “I'll take you through a shortcut. If we don't encounter any overly terrifying killing intent, we can reach the Black Scale Tribe in half an hour.”

“Mm.”

Xie Weilou nodded.

The Shuofeng Leader didn't hesitate and immediately led Xie Weilou away.

As soon as the two stepped out of the blockhouse, they sensed chilling winds assaulting them from all directions. The world was completely dark. Apart from this blockhouse, the rest of the Shuofeng Plain was entirely shrouded in darkness, making one's hair stand on end.

“...”

The Shuofeng Leader took a deep breath and rushed toward a certain direction, leading Xie Weilou.

However, just three thousand meters out, terrifying black mist swept in from all directions, roaring incessantly like Primordial Savage Beasts, intent on devouring them completely.

“This is bad...”

The Shuofeng Leader's expression changed. This dark mist was even more terrifying than last night's.

“Scram!”

Xie Weilou took a step forward, slowly uttering a single word, and the Dark Divine Fire erupted with terrifying ferocity.

Boom!

As the might of the Divine Fire erupted, the sweeping darkness immediately weakened by ninety percent, like a mouse seeing a cat, and frantically fled into the distance...
