Under the comfort of Huang Shuhan, many clansmen of the Ice Phoenix Clan can also be regarded as rekindling hope, although the curse of the cold winter cannot be lifted for the time being, but it marks the direction of progress, and the Oracle Realm has also become the final goal of all their clansmen.

"Shuhan, the matter in the Fire Domain is basically over, what are our plans next?" asked Huang Yu.

"This time we go south, in addition to our experience, we must also find the master, she has been helping the clansmen to find the lost artifact, we must go to help her", Huang Shuhan said.

"Then do you have a clear goal by now?" Shi Xuan asked.

"Our Divine Phoenix Clan has a specific contact method, we will look for the master, even if we can't find her for the time being, we have to personally find other lost artifacts, this matter is imminent, we have to do it", Huang Shuhan has been under a lot of pressure since he knew that the Oracle Realm was the only hope to save the family.

"Shuhan, no matter where you go, if you need our help, you must remember to inform me, you are never fighting alone", Shi Xuan said solemnly to Huang Shuhan.

"Thank you, Shi Xuan, I know you also have a lot of important things to do, but I can't help you. When my family's task is completed, I will have time to come and help you", Huang Shuhan said to Shi Xuan.

"Shuhan, it's not more polite, we don't need this between us. We are all people who are bound by fate, we are burdened, let's fight for the ideals in our hearts, do what you want to do, control your own destiny, and don't worry about me", Shi Xuan said.

"You are the same, I know that you have always been a person who dares to act, and never flinching in case of trouble, but we are not by your side, you must learn to protect yourself, don't be alone, and you must also remember that in a distant foreign land, there are still people who are worried about you?"

Huang Shuhan and her clansmen went to other parts of the mainland to join their master, and Shi Xuan also had to return to Tianhua Sect, he had been running away all these years, and he hadn't gone back for a long time, and the sect was his second home, and he had inseparable emotions for him.

Shi Xuan watched Huang Shuhan and his party leave in Huangchao Mountain, their elegant ice phoenix body soared above the sky, leaving a trace of cold air in the air, Shi Xuan was most afraid of separation, the world was impermanent and did not know when the next time they met, their mutual concern for each other also became the driving force for their respective efforts to move forward.

The swaying figure of the ice phoenix has flown away, Shi Xuan can't forget it for a long time, but he also has his own things to do, Shi Xuan restrained his emotions and flew towards the red sky towards the north.

The war in the south has ended, and the matter of Hongyan Ridge and Canghai has also come to an end, and for the Tianhua Sect, the Moon Worship Sect is their biggest threat at present.

Between the two overlords on the southwest continent, the conflict has already reached the top of the competition over the years, and it is almost impossible to alleviate it, as an ancient sect that believes in the evil gods of the world, they will inevitably be rejected by this world.

In the age of the Tide of Darkness, the God of the Starry Sky was the real culprit, he was the first evil god to unleash the Tide of Darkness, although his invasion failed, but he eventually attracted the more terrible Ten Thousand Saints Demon King, causing unimaginable disasters to the world.

As traitors to the human race, the Moon Worship Sect turned their backs on the people of the continent and turned to the evil evil gods of the world, in a vain attempt to guide the evil gods to reign in the world again, and their wolf ambitions were spurned by the whole world.

Shi Xuan did not choose to take the previous shortcut when he returned to the north this time, but chose to detour from the western region, and his purpose was also very simple, that is, to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the western region under the rule of the Moon Worship Sect.

The Moon Worship Sect has governed the huge western territory with religion for many years, and many empires in these places all believe in the god of the starry sky, and they are firmly controlled by the Moon Worship Sect.

Shi Xuan flew over the mountains of the Fire Domain, avoiding the raids of countless spirit beasts, and headed towards the most mysterious region of the Southwest Continent, where there is a vast territory, and the Star Picking Mountain is located there, unlike the countless sects in other regions, the western region is outstanding, and under the rule of the Moon Worship Sect, all other sects are excluded, and the original sects in these places are either generalized by them and become subordinate, or they are secretly wiped out.

This vast western region has become the territory of the Moon Worship Sect, which undoubtedly gives them a huge space for development, and Shi Xuan also wants to take this opportunity to carry out a good reconnaissance of the Moon Worship Sect.

Shi Xuan came to some ordinary countries in the west, and among these child empires, Shi Xuan also confirmed the previous rumors, these child empires from the monarch to the common people all believe in the god of the starry sky, and there are many temples in these places, all of which are specially set up starry sky temples, and countless people come to worship and pray for the protection of the gods every day.

Shi Xuan passed through many temples and found the sculpture of the god of the starry sky enshrined, Shi Xuan also truly realized the horror of faith, and the prestige of the god was enough to make countless people fall for it.

Shi Xuan also discovered that the people under the rule of the Moon Worship Sect were very repulsive to foreign spirit masters, as well as other believers, and outsiders could often only disguise themselves as their followers, so as not to be regarded as heretics by them, and once someone dared to disobey the gods, they would inevitably be hunted down and killed by these people.

Walking in these areas, Shi Xuan has also discovered the activities of the disciples of the Moon Worship Sect many times, they are like high-ranking managers, supervising the people of the jurisdiction area at any time, once they find that someone is blasphemous, they will suppress it strongly, the means are extremely cruel, Shi Xuan witnessed a large-scale execution in a town.

In the imperial city, on a bazaar, countless people gathered on both sides of the street, and countless prisoner carts on the street were pressed by the disciples of the Moon Worship Sect to parade through the streets, at least hundreds of people, these people were regarded as heretics by the disciples of the Moon Worship Sect, thinking that they had blasphemed the god of the starry sky, and wanted to parade them through the streets, and finally beheaded them in the bazaar, killing chickens and monkeys.

Shi Xuan saw the countless people around him, frantically throwing rotten vegetable leaves and stones at these prisoners, and frantically insulting these blasphemers, all of whom had been brainwashed by the people of the Moon Worship Sect and became the most pious servants.

These disciples of the Moon Worship Sect are god-like beings in these places, and as long as they are targeted, life is better than death.

Shi Xuan looked at all this with great anger, these so-called blasphemers were ruthlessly slaughtered by the Moon Worship Sect just because they refused to believe in the God of the Starry Sky.

In the square of the bazaar, under the cheers of countless believers, hundreds of infidels were beheaded here, and the bloody slaughter made those who dared to dare to resist the Lunatic Sect tremble.

After the massacre, the heads of these heretics were hung on the flagpole as a warning, and the disciples of the Lunatic Sect impassionedly propagated the prestige of the starry sky gods, spread their teachings, and did all kinds of evil to demagogue.

Shi Xuan was here, but he was powerless to make a move, these places were the core of their rule, even if Shi Xuan was extremely strong at the moment, it would be difficult to escape from their ruthless pursuit.

After witnessing these atrocities with his own eyes, Shi Xuan wanted to get closer to the Star Picking Mountain, and prepared to investigate the Star Picking Mountain, which was the source of the trouble.

Shi Xuan got closer and closer to the Star Picking Mountain Range, and closer to the ruling core of the Moon Worship Sect, and these places became their pious servants.

Xingxing Mountain is a super mountain range with extremely high terrain in the southwest continent, the endless mountains are towering, the clouds are rarely seen on the high mountains, the blue sky is infinitely close to the pure starry sky, the stars are shining on these mountains, and the power of the starry sky has reached the pinnacle.

The Moon Worship Sect chose to establish a sect here because it was able to access the most powerful star spirit power here.

Xingxing Mountain has become a holy place for countless believers, and countless people come to pay homage to the holy place every year, and many of their followers even cross the country as mortals to come to Xingxing Mountain to pay homage to the gods, and they believe that Xingxing Mountain is the closest place to the gods.

After Shi Xuan arrived at these places, he really discovered the strangeness of these regions, the power of the star spirit was extremely rich, the entire area was shrouded in starlight, and there was unimaginable power in the mysterious starry sky.

Countless temples had been established in many towns in these places, all dedicated to the gods of the starry sky, and although Shi Xuan did not know the function of these temples, he also knew that he would have to find a way to destroy their faith in the future, and he vaguely felt that there seemed to be a unique power exuding here, which he had never come into contact with until that time.

These forces are constantly converging towards the Star Picking Mountain, it is the power of faith from all the people in the world, but Shi Xuan does not know at all at this moment, although he vaguely perceives a trace of breath, but with his strength and knowledge, he cannot know the effect of this force.

Unlike other forces on the continent, the Moon Worship Sect has gone extremely deep in the study of the power of faith, since the moment the Star God was born, he has opened up a unique path of cultivation, and the rise of the Moon Worship Sect has a huge relationship with the power of faith.

In the vicinity of the vast Star-Picking Mountain Range, Shi Xuan saw countless pilgrims, these believers from distant regions, who devoutly climbed the mountain range to make a pilgrimage under the starry sky, praying for the blessings of the starry sky.

Shi Xuan blended in the crowd, followed their footsteps and also entered the grand star-picking mountain, after night, Shi Xuan came to a cliff alone, standing there looking up at the starry sky, the terrain here is extremely high, the stars are shining in the sky, in this mountain range, the power of the stars has reached the peak, although Shi Xuan has not practiced the power of the stars, but he has dealt with the Moon Worship Sect many times, and has seen the terrible power of the stars, and its power is not weaker than any kind of spiritual power in this world.

Shi Xuan sat on the cliff, feeling the quiet sky here, in the depths of the distant Star Mountain, he saw a very strange aura that gathered towards the sky, and finally merged into the sea of stars, and this strange energy was completely consistent with the energy he felt in the temple of the god of the starry sky, Shi Xuan realized this energy at this moment, perhaps the key to the rise of the Moon Worship Sect.

The place where the energy emanates is the place where the sect of the Moon Worship Sect is located, it is the holy land of the Moon Worship Sect, Shi Xuan does not dare to approach it easily at present, there are a large number of disciples of the Moon Worship Sect, once he is surrounded by enemies, he will not be able to escape.

"This power comes from the temple of the Starry Sky Evil God, maybe it has something to do with those believers, no wonder everywhere they go over the years, they will let their disciples spread the teachings and absorb the believers extensively, it seems that it is for this strange energy", Shi Xuan looked at the energy gathered in the distance, worried.

Shi Xuan had also released his soul power to probe this power many times, but he found that he was repelled by this unique energy, and it was difficult for him to find out the origin of this power.

"Maybe it's because I'm not a believer," Shi Xuan said to himself.

The next day, on the Star Mountain, a large number of believers gathered, and the place they were going to was a holy altar, where there was a unique altar specially established by the Moon Worship Sect, with a statue of the god of the starry sky dozens of feet high.

Every year, they hold a grand sacrifice ceremony to worship the god of the starry sky, and a large number of devotees gather here to carry out the sacrifice ceremony.

Shi Xuan also mixed in, wanting to explore their sacrificial ceremony, this place was already very close to the Holy Land of the Moon Worship Sect, Shi Xuan had already changed into civilian clothes and blended in the crowd, so as not to be noticed by the disciples of the Moon Worship Sect.

The peak on which the altar is located is second only to the main peak of the Lunatic Cult, and it is an altar specially prepared for pilgrims who come from afar, and its purpose is also to collect vast power of faith and sacrifices.

Shi Xuan didn't know what their sacrifices were, he had seen the sacrifice ceremony of the Beicang priest, which required the slaughter of countless cattle and a large-scale sacrifice, he originally thought that the same was true for the Moon Worship Sect, but three days later, Shi Xuan's face changed abruptly, he found the activities of the disciples of the Moon Worship Sect next to the main peak where the altar was located, these disciples of the Moon Worship Sect escorted a large group of handsome men and girls, most of them were between eight or nine years old to teens, at least hundreds of people were imprisoned in cages by them and sent to the main peak where the altar was located.

Shi Xuan originally didn't know the purpose of these people, until he asked an old man who had come to the pilgrimage many times, and had seen the pilgrimage process in the past, Shi Xuan learned from his mouth that these people were all holy sons and holy daughters with special qualities, and they were sacrifices chosen by the gods.

Shi Xuan was completely shocked all of a sudden, he remembered the whereabouts of the Moon Worship Sect during the turmoil of the Danyang Empire. At that time, they discovered the Moon Worship Sect and secretly arrested these children many times, but they didn't know the role of them in capturing these children, and now Shi Xuan suddenly understood.

"Oh my God, they actually used living people to carry out the sacrifice ceremony?" Shi Xuan was shocked all of a sudden.

"Child, don't you talk nonsense, if you let the disciples of the Moon Worship Sect hear it, you will be unlucky?" The old man who was questioned by Shi Xuan carefully reminded Shi Xuan to pay attention to his words.

"Uncle, why do you believe in the god of the starry sky they say?" Shi Xuan was puzzled and asked.

"The god of the starry sky is an omnipotent god, and our people are blessed by him, but we have seen the gods descend on the earth with our own eyes, slay demons for us, and bless us with good weather," the uncle said to Shi Xuan.

"Have you ever seen a god?" Shi Xuan asked suspiciously.

"Many years ago, our hometown was haunted and many people died, until the disciples of the Moon Worship Sect came and promoted the legend of the starry sky god for us, and let us worship him, saying that the gods can help us kill demons and bless us with good weather and rain, at first we didn't believe it, until we saw the gods in the starry sky and killed the sneaky people who were doing it, we didn't believe it", the uncle said.

"I see, thank you uncle for solving my doubts?" Shi Xuan understood the trick of the Moon Worship Sect in his heart, by deliberately creating some accidents caused by ghosts and gods, and then killing those remnant souls, winning the trust of the people, and then spreading the teachings, he captured the trust of hundreds of people at once.

In order to get more believers, how many people have been killed over the years, Shi Xuan can't imagine, in order to win trust, they do not hesitate to use the evil remnant soul of the ancient demon to kill innocent people, and successfully gain trust by killing this remnant soul, this trick is really vicious, these countless ignorant people, but they still have the greatest executioner of the starry sky god, and they have become faithful believers, sending infinite faith power to the evil god, helping to abuse.

This huge altar will carry out a huge sacrifice ceremony every month, each time it needs to be consumed, many men and women with special lives as sacrifices, and no one knows how many sacrifices have died over the years.

There were still two or three days before this sacrificial ceremony, but countless pilgrims had already gathered on the holy mountain, they had arrived early, prayed sincerely, and Shi Xuan felt endless sorrow for these people.

Even under the mountainside, Shi Xuan and they can see it from afar, the statue of the towering god of the starry sky, the god of the starry sky looks down on the common people, but does not give it to the common people, he is high, but he eats people without spitting out bones, relying on the little starry sky spiritual power he gave, he easily obtained countless servants of the entire Moon Worship Sect to serve him, these betrayers, in order to satisfy the will of the god of the starry sky, became his executioners, slaughtering their own compatriots, and exchanging power from demons.

On this holy mountain, there are a large number of disciples of the Moon Worship Sect on duty every day, and they monitor these believers at all times, and once they find blasphemers, they will be killed strongly, killing chickens and monkeys.

Shi Xuan looked at the many men and women in the prisoner car, these people were all found by them from a foreign land, they had long lost the ability to resist, they were all lambs to be slaughtered, no one could save their lives, Shi Xuan wanted to rescue several times, but in the end they all held back, there are disciples of the Moon Worship Sect everywhere, he probably can't even go down the mountain if he does this, let alone bring so many people.

The countless people around him are also devout believers, but they think that Shi Xuan will be a heretic, and he will not be able to escape when the time comes.

At this moment, Shi Xuan's sense of powerlessness haunted his heart, with the improvement of his strength, he had more scruples, and he was full of awe of the power above this world, the strength of the Moon Worship Sect was undoubted, he was a monk of the Spirit Realm who wanted to pull out his teeth in the tiger's mouth, it was unrealistic, and finally he had to choose forbearance, this time his purpose was only to explore the secret conspiracy of the Moon Worship Sect over the years.

In the evening of the last day, the sacrificial ceremony was about to begin, and at this time, several elders of the Moon Worship Sect on the holy mountain came one after another, they came to prevent hostile forces from making trouble, and they also came to show the strength of the Moon Worship Sect and promote the divine power of the Star Sky God.

Shi Xuan was also mixed in with the crowd, he wanted to witness the whole process of this sacrificial ceremony with his own eyes, and be fully prepared to deal with them in the future.

The crowd crowded towards the top of the mountain, where the square was crowded with people, all of whom were devout believers, and Shi Xuan struggled to squeeze to the front.

At this moment, the altar was surrounded by disciples of the Moon Worship Sect, they blocked the devout believers and prevented them from colliding with the altar, and there was no shortage of powerful elders in the Moon Worship Sect at the scene, Shi Xuan restrained his soul aura early to prevent it from being discovered by the strong.

On the altar, many priests of the Moon Worship Sect are nervously arranging spiritual materials, ready to start the sacrificial ceremony at any time, and many young men and girls who were escorted from the prisoner car are also tied to the many stone pillars of the altar at this moment, they are all delicious sacrifices of the gods, and they are waiting for the arrival of doom with dull eyes at the moment.

Many disciples of the Moon Worship Sect were on guard against the surprise attacks of hostile forces at any time, and they were firmly watching every move of the crowd, and Shi Xuan had to retreat and hide in the crowd again to avoid being detected clues.

As night approached, the sacrificial square was lit up with lights, illuminating the mountains, and countless devotees stood in the square, and many of the slower devotees could only pray below the mountainside, and the front was occupied by the devotees.

After that, Shi Xuan saw two familiar figures descending here, this person was dressed in red, demonic and impermanent, in her strange eyes, the blood moon was rising, her body was light, as if the moonlight possessed her body, and her divine power was overflowing, it was Yan Tianhan and Elder Su Yuehua.

Shi Xuan was very jealous of this person, and she retreated to the crowd behind her again, so as not to be detected by her, after all, there were several encounters between them, and with her strength, she could easily sense Shi Xuan's breath, but fortunately, there were many people now, and the breath was confused, and it was not easy to find out.

"Smoke and cold, Elder Su, are you here too?" an elder stood up to greet him.

"Recently, the head of the sect has been very concerned about this matter, and we don't dare to slack off, and recently the Tianhua Sect has been ghostly, and we also have to strengthen our vigilance to prevent them from making trouble," Su Yuehua said.

"It's okay, with you coming, even if those bastards from Tianhua Sect and Divine Sword Valley come, they will definitely not dare to show their heads, this sacrificial ceremony will definitely be held successfully", said the elder who presided over the sacrifice.
