Chapter 1319 - Darkness Heart
A few hundred meters ahead, members of the nether clan and the ghost clan slipped through the dark at speed. They were too focused on their own goal to notice the four trailing behind them.
"Follow them," Liu Wuxie whispered.
A'Lei and A'Li crept after the two clans in silence. They crouched low and forced themselves to slow down. They slipped into an ancient forest where the air grew heavy and the scenery ahead turned murky as if they were trudging through tar.
Vanya quietly called on the laws of light, and a pale glow opened a small circle of visibility around them.
"The Grand Dark Canyon," Liu Wuxie whispered. He tapped A'Lei on the shoulder.
A'Lei halted on the spot in response.
A vast canyon yawned in front of them. Crowds from the nether clan and the ghost clan surrounded the rim, joined by figures from the undead clan and the faceless clan. Not a single human was present.
There wasn't even a sign of the abyssal race, which made the gathering feel even stranger. Every face they saw carried the same mark—shadow-stained features, especially those from the nether clan and the ghost clan.
"You three stay put. Don't wander," Liu Wuxie said quietly. He pushed off of A'Lei's shoulder and sprang up to a thick tree farther ahead, landing with the easy balance of a hunting cat.
From that perch, he surveyed the canyon.
The gorge churned with movement and pressure. Nearly a thousand members of the nether clan had assembled, along with hundreds from the ghost clan, a few dozen from the undead clan, and dozens from the faceless clan.
"What's in that canyon? How come it attracted so many members from the nether clan to come here?" Liu Wuxie muttered.
