Black Myth: The Legend of Tianpeng Seeking Demons

"The Moon Palace?" Zhu Feifei and Chang Juan exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

Could this really be the legendary Moon Palace?

Zhu Feifei composed herself, stepped forward, and cupped her hands, saying, "This... senior, we did not mean to trespass. We were just trying to escape the monsters and accidentally wandered into this place. Please forgive us."

As he spoke, he secretly sized up the old man before him. The old man had white hair but a youthful face, an air of otherworldly wisdom, and held a whisk in his hand, exuding the demeanor of a reclusive sage. However, Zhu Feifei sensed a subtle but palpable pressure emanating from him, which made him secretly wary.

Chang Juan stepped forward and said, "Senior, we are researchers from the lunar base. We did not mean to offend you. Please enlighten us and let us leave."

The old man didn't answer Zhu Feifei and Chang Juan's questions immediately. Instead, he stroked his beard and slowly said, "Lunar base? I haven't heard that name in a long time..."

"Senior, you...you've been living here all this time?" Zhu Feifei asked tentatively.

"I am the guardian of the Moon Palace, so naturally I have always lived here," the old man said calmly. "But what about you? Why are you here?"

"We..." Zhu Feifei was about to explain when she was interrupted by the Ringling Spirit Xiaobai.

"Idiot, don't waste your breath on him! This old man is no ordinary person, strike first!" The voice of the Ringwraith White echoed in his mind.

"Strike first, win later?" Zhu Feifei was taken aback. "Xiaobai, are you sure?"

"I'm sure! I can sense a powerful energy fluctuation emanating from this old man, and he doesn't seem to have any goodwill towards us!" said Little White Ringwraith. "Don't forget, this is a lunar base, not some gathering place for benevolent people!"

“Okay…” Zhu Feifei hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to follow the advice of the Ringwraith Xiaobai.

He took a deep breath, pushed the power of the nine-bead bracelet to its limit, and then suddenly swung the prop in his hand... uh, wait, where's the prop shovel?

Zhu Feifei then remembered that her prop shovel seemed to have been left in the meteorite crater during the previous battle.

"Damn it! What am I going to do now?" Zhu Feifei thought to himself, "This is bad. Without a weapon, how am I going to fight this old man?"

"You idiot, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and do it!" Little White Ringwraith urged.

"I...I don't have any weapons!" Zhu Feifei said.

"No weapons? You still have your fists!" said Little White Ringwraith. "Use your fists to beat him up!"

"Fist?" Zhu Feifei looked at his fist, then at the venerable old man in front of him, and really had no confidence.

"Don't hesitate any longer, or it'll be too late!" said Little White Ringwraith. "Go, you idiot!"

"Okay... fine!" Zhu Feifei gritted her teeth and decided to go all out.

He roared and charged at the old man, then punched him hard in the face.

"Hmph, a mere trick!" The old man sneered. He lightly waved his whisk, and an invisible force instantly blocked Zhu Feifei's fist.

"Huh?" Zhu Feifei felt as if her fist had hit cotton, soft and powerless.

“Young man, you’re too impulsive,” the old man said calmly. “This is the forbidden area of ​​the Moon Palace, not a place for you to run wild.”

"Enough nonsense! I don't care if it's a forbidden area or not, today I, Old Pig... am determined to get out!" Zhu Feifei said, charging towards the old man again.

"Since you're so stubborn, don't blame me for being impolite!" A cold glint flashed in the old man's eyes. He waved his whisk, and a beam of white light shot towards Zhu Feifei.

"Watch out!" Chang Juan exclaimed in alarm upon seeing this, trying to warn Zhu Feifei, but it was too late.

Zhu Feifei only felt a flash of white light before her eyes, and then she knew nothing more.

"Zhu Feifei!" Chang Juan saw Zhu Feifei fall to the ground and rushed over.

"What...what did you do to him?" Chang Juan asked angrily, looking at the old man.

"Don't worry, he's just unconscious," the old man said calmly. "I didn't hurt him."

"You..." Chang Juan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the old man.

"Young lady, who are you? Why are you here?" the old man asked, looking at Chang Juan.

“I…I am Chang Juan, a researcher at the lunar base,” Chang Juan said. “We stumbled into this place while trying to escape the monsters.”

"A monster?" The old man frowned. "What monster?"

Chang Juan briefly recounted what had happened to the old man.

After listening, the old man remained silent for a moment, then said, "I see. It seems that something has changed at the lunar base."

"A mutation?" Chang Juan asked疑惑地问道, "What mutation?"

"This is a long story..." the old man sighed. "Young lady, do you know what this lunar base was originally used for?"

"Isn't it for scientific research?" Chang Juan said.

"Scientific research? Heh..." The old man sneered, "That's just a facade. In reality, the lunar base is used for suppression..."

"Suppress what?" Chang Juan pressed.

“Suppress...the Moon Demon!” the old man said.

"Moon Demon?!" Chang Juan and the Ringwraith Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

“That’s right, the Moon Demon.” The old man nodded. “Legend has it that a powerful demon lives on the moon, possessing the power to destroy the world. To prevent them from harming humanity, our ancestors built this base on the moon and suppressed them here.”

“Then…then those monsters from earlier…” Chang Juan seemed to have thought of something, and her face turned pale.

“That’s right, those monsters are the Moon Demon’s minions,” the old man said. “It seems the seal has loosened, and the Moon Demon is about to reappear in the world!”

"What...what should I do?" Chang Juan panicked immediately. She never expected to encounter such a thing.

"Don't panic, young lady," the old man said. "Since I am the guardian of this place, I naturally have a way to deal with them."

"Then... what do you plan to do?" Chang Juan asked.

"I need your help." The old man looked at Chang Juan and said, "Young lady, would you be willing to lend me a hand and fight against the Moon Demon together?"

“I…” Chang Juan hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to answer.

“Young lady, this is a matter of life and death for humanity, you cannot stand idly by!” the old man said.

“Okay…” Chang Juan finally nodded. “I’m willing to help you.”

"Good, very good!" The old man nodded in satisfaction. "Young lady, please help this young man up first, and we will go to the sealed land together."

“Okay.” Chang Juan agreed, then walked over to Zhu Feifei and helped him up.

"You idiot, wake up, wake up!" The voice of the Ringwraith White echoed in Zhu Feifei's mind.

"Hmm..." Zhu Feifei slowly opened her eyes and found herself being supported by Chang Juan.

"You're awake? How are you feeling?" Chang Juan asked with concern.

"I...I'm fine." Zhu Feifei shook her head, feeling a little dizzy.

"What just happened? Why did I faint?" he asked.

“You were knocked unconscious by that old man,” Chang Juan said. “But don’t worry, he meant no harm.”

"No malice? Then why did he knock me unconscious?" Zhu Feifei asked, puzzled.

"This is a long story..." Chang Juan said, "Let's leave here first and talk about it later."

“Okay.” Zhu Feifei nodded, then followed Chang Juan and the old man into the depths of the space.

The three arrived at the depths of the space, where they saw a huge altar covered with various runes, emitting a faint light.

"This is the sealed place," the old man said. "The Moon Demon is sealed beneath this altar."

"Then how can we strengthen the seal?" Chang Juan asked.

“We need…” The old man was about to explain when his expression suddenly changed. He turned around abruptly and looked at the entrance to the space.

"Oh no, they're here!" the old man exclaimed.

Zhu Feifei and Chang Juan followed the old man's gaze and saw a group of dark figures pouring in from the entrance of the space. They were the monsters that had attacked them earlier!

"How could this be? How did they find their way here?" Chang Juan exclaimed.

"It seems the seal's power is weakening; they've already broken through its limitations," the old man said. "We must reinforce the seal as soon as possible, or the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get started!" Zhu Feifei said.

“Alright!” The old man nodded, then walked to the altar and began chanting incantations.

As the old man chanted his incantation, the runes on the altar began to flash with dazzling light, and a powerful energy wave emanated from the altar.

"Young lady, please lend me a hand!" the old man said to Chang Juan.

Chang Juan nodded, then walked to the old man's side and channeled her inner energy into the altar.

Zhu Feifei stared at the incredible scene before him, filled with curiosity. He didn't know what the old man and Chang Juan were doing, but he could sense a powerful force brewing within them.

"Roar!!!"

Just then, the monsters rushed in front of them.

"You two, stop them!" the old man said to Zhu Feifei and Chang Juan.

"Okay!" Zhu Feifei agreed, then waved her nine-bead bracelet and charged towards the monsters.

"Golden Light Demon-Slaying Slash!"

Golden blades of light burst forth from the nine-bead bracelet, slashing towards the monsters.

"Roar!!!"

The monsters were struck by the golden light, letting out screams as their bodies were cleaved away.

However, these monsters were not killed; they quickly stood up again and continued to pounce on Zhu Feifei and the others.

"These monsters are so troublesome!" Zhu Feifei thought to herself as she fought.

"You idiot, stop focusing on fighting and think of something!" The voice of the Ringwraith White echoed in his mind.

"Think of a way? What can I do?" Zhu Feifei said, "These monsters are thick-skinned and tough, they're practically invincible!"

“Don’t you still have the ‘Invincible Vajra Divine Skill’? You can try combining the Invincible Vajra Divine Skill with the Golden Light Demon-Slaying Slash!” said Little White Ring Spirit.

"Combining the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill with the Golden Light Demon-Slaying Slash?" Zhu Feifei was stunned. "This...can this really work?"

"We'll see if we try!" said Little White Ringwraith. "Anyway, there's no other way now!"

"Alright, let's give it a shot!" Zhu Feifei gritted her teeth and decided to give it a try.

He took a deep breath and simultaneously pushed both the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill and the Golden Light Demon-Slaying Slash to their limits.

Instantly, a faint golden light appeared on his body, and the nine-bead bracelet also emitted a dazzling golden light.

He suddenly swung the nine-bead bracelet in his hand, and a golden blade of light, even larger than before, burst forth from the bracelet and slashed towards the monsters.

"boom!!!"

The golden blade of light struck the monster, producing a deafening roar that shook the entire space violently.

The monsters were struck by the golden blades of light, and immediately let out a series of shrill screams. Their bodies were cleaved in two, turning into a cloud of black mist and dissipating into the air.

"Holy crap! That's amazing?!" Zhu Feifei was stunned by the incredible scene before her.

He never expected that the combination of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill and the Golden Light Demon-Slaying Slash could unleash such powerful force!

"Hehe, you idiot, now you know how powerful you are, right?" Little White Ringwraith laughed smugly.

"Xiaobai, you're amazing!" Zhu Feifei exclaimed excitedly. "With this new move, I'm no longer afraid of these monsters!"

"Hmph, don't be too happy yet. These monsters are just small fry. The real power is yet to come!" said Little White Ringwraith.

"The truly powerful?" Zhu Feifei was taken aback. "Could there be something even more powerful than these monsters?"

“Of course!” said Little White Ringwraith. “Don’t forget, this is the Moon Demon’s sealed place. The Moon Demon is not so easy to deal with!”

"Moon Demon..." Zhu Feifei's heart tightened upon hearing this name.

He knew that his mission this time would probably not be easy.
