Chen Moxuan looked at the Asura Clan member before him, his eyes revealing an unwavering determination. "Take me to see your Asura King."
The Asura Clan member stared at Chen Moxuan in surprise, as if he couldn't believe his ears. "Do you dare to go?"
There was a hint of mockery and disbelief in his voice.
A cold smile curled at the corners of Chen Moxuan's mouth. "If you dare to take me, I dare to go."
The Asura Clan member was momentarily taken aback; he clearly hadn't expected such a reaction from Chen Moxuan. However, just for a moment, he regained his composure and nodded coldly.
"Fine, I'll take you."
With that, he turned and walked away, seemingly very familiar with the surroundings. Chen Moxuan followed closely behind, the two of them moving through the darkness like shadows.
As they ventured deeper, the environment around them grew increasingly terrifying. Within the abyss, it felt like they had entered an entirely different world. The air was thick with a suffocating sense of dread, as if countless malevolent spirits whispered in their ears, attempting to erode their will.
They soon arrived at a cliff face. Suddenly, the Asura Clan member leaped down without hesitation. Chen Moxuan showed no fear and jumped right after him without a second thought.
As they fell through the air, they spotted a cave below. To Chen Moxuan's surprise, the Asura Clan member waited for him, further piquing his curiosity about why this individual was so confident in being able to handle him.
He quickly caught up and entered the cave carved into the cliff. The stone walls were covered with strange symbols that emitted a faint green glow, resembling ghostly eyes flickering in the darkness.
The deeper they went, the more Chen Moxuan could sense a powerful and malevolent force stirring within. They navigated through narrow passages until they finally arrived at a vast cavern.
In this cavern, an unsettling aura pervaded the air, as if it were a gathering place for countless evil spirits. In the center of the cave stood a high stone platform upon which sat an Asura King cloaked in black robes.
The Asura King had a stern face, his eyes like lightning, emanating an aura that sent chills through the hearts of those who beheld him. He gazed coldly at Chen Moxuan, as if looking at a corpse.
Having heard of him but never seen him, today’s encounter confirmed the rumors; he was indeed formidable. At the very least, his courage was unmatched, far surpassing that old man Jing Zong.
His voice boomed like thunder, shaking the entire cave.
Chen Moxuan smiled slightly, unafraid of the Asura King. To him, nothing was more daunting than death itself, and since he felt he could not die, what was there to fear?
Seeing you has been quite enlightening. His voice was calm and confident. You don’t seem to be the true Asura King.
The Asura King’s eyes flashed with surprise and shock at these words.
How do you know?
I am aware of the sordid dealings between the Asura Clan and the Blood Emperor. The darkness and evil that intertwine should leave undeniable marks on the true Asura King. Chen Moxuan spoke slowly, his gaze sharp as if he could see into the depths of one’s soul.
From you, I see no such traces. Your aura, though powerful, is too pure; you do not resemble someone associated with the Blood Emperor.
The Asura King fell silent for a moment, as if weighing something in his mind. Finally, he let out a low sigh.
You are correct; I am not the current Asura King but rather the previous one. After my time, the Asura Clan underwent a tremendous upheaval—one that turned everything upside down from within and without.
A tremendous upheaval? Chen Moxuan raised an eyebrow, urging him to continue.
Yes, a tremendous upheaval. The Asura King's tone grew heavy. I once believed that handing over the Asura Clan to the next generation would be the best arrangement for our people. I was wrong; I overlooked the greed and ambition within human hearts.
As the Asura King, he reached some sort of agreement with the Blood Emperor, selling our honor and principles in exchange for power.
The Asura Clan is no longer what it once was.
Then why are you still here? Chen Moxuan asked, already guessing part of the answer in his mind.
I am imprisoned here as a symbol of the old era, viewed by the king as a thorn in his side. He fears that my existence might threaten his rule, so he locked me away in the deepest part of this cave, allowing endless darkness and solitude to consume me.
A glimmer of sorrow passed through the Asura King's eyes. I have never given up hope—hope that one day someone will unveil his true nature and restore honor to the Asura Clan.
It seems your hope has not been entirely extinguished. Chen Moxuan smiled faintly; he already had plans forming in his mind. Tell me how to expose this false king's true identity and help the Asura Clan reclaim its glory.
The Asura King gazed at Chen Moxuan, as if assessing his determination and capability. It required courage, wisdom, and an indomitable spirit. You must find the Heart's Eye!
That was the Shen Lan passed down through generations of our Asura Clan, capable of discerning all falsehoods from the truth. Only it could expose the collusion between the Asura King and the Blood Emperor, revealing the truth to the world.
"Heart's Eye," Chen Moxuan repeated, his eyes shining with unwavering resolve. "Alright, I will find it. For the glory of the Asura Clan, and to prove that true strength should never rely on betrayal and compromise."
Having left the dark and terrifying cave, Chen Moxuan's mind was clear. The internal division within the Asura Clan was far more severe than he had imagined. The conflict between the King and the Old King was not merely a struggle for power; it was a clash of ideals and beliefs.
The clan had split into two factions. The King, in collusion with the Blood Emperor, had gained control over the vast majority of their people. They were intoxicated by the allure of power, forgetting the former glory and pride of the Asura Clan.
The Old King, the imprisoned former Asura King, had only a handful of loyal followers left by his side. They upheld the traditions and beliefs of the Asura Clan, unwilling to sink into corruption alongside the King's evil forces. They knew that remaining on Asura Clan territory would only lead to danger and death.
Thus, they chose to flee, hoping to escape the control of the Asura Clan through this secret passage and seek refuge in Yun Miao Sheng Zhou.
Chen Moxuan speculated that the reason there were only a few people around the Old King was that most loyal members of the Asura Clan had already fled to Yun Miao Sheng Zhou. If he hadn't happened upon this situation by chance, it was likely that the Old King had already led most of their kin to safety.
Now, everything seemed to hinge on a powerful artifact in his hands. The Heart's Eye, this Shen Lan passed down through generations of the Asura Clan, was key to realizing all of this.
The only problem was that if he approached this matter solely as a human, he would undoubtedly fail. He needed an ally!
