Chapter 1659 Dragon Shadows In The Moonlight


    The former headquarters of me Holy Land was now a famous and notable ruins.


    ording to legend, it used to be the headquarters of the me Holy Land during ancient times.


    It was a ce surrounded by beautiful mountains and abundant in spiritual energy. Thendscape was


    breath-taking, making it and genuinely blessed by the gods.


    However, the glorious me Holy Land was destroyed overnight and turned into a vast, scorching


    desert.


    It took Earth Hermit a dozen days to reach the zing barrennd.


    When he did, he got all the members of the me Holy Land out of his oldpass.


    "Is this ce where the old me Holy Land used to be located?"


    Austin murmured, looking at the boundless desert.


    The horizon extended like ocean waves––nothing could be seen at the end of those numerous sand


    dunes.


    The area was arid, and no living thing could be spotted anywhere near. Only a bleak, silent air could be


    heard from the entire ce.


    ''Is this ce the original headquarters of the me Holy Land, which used to be one of the four holy


    Austin asked himself silently, shocked by what weed his sight.


    ''The other three holynds still exist and are continuously flourishing in the East Maind as top sects.


    But there are only over three hundred members in the me Holy Land, and its base was even wiped


    out by others.


    How could a notable sect end up like this?


    This is just so sad, '' Austin sighed inwardly.


    "It''s dragon shadows!" Earth Hermit eximed, looking up at the sky in the distance.


    His eyes suddenly lit up in utter delight.


    The curious members of the me Holy Land traced the direction of his gaze, and shadows of a white


    dragon came into their view.


    They flew into the starry sky from the horizon, dancing freely as they pped their gigantic wings.


    "There is more than one dragon shadow!"


    Earth Hermit eximed in thrill.


    He was right––white dragon shadows soared into the sky from different directions and danced.


    "Oh, jeez! The legend is true!"


    Everyone stared at the dragon shadows,pletely speechless.


    "What''s that?"


    Austin, who also gazed at the shadows, asked curiously.


    Since he wasn''t a native of the East Maind, there were many things he didn''t know about this ce.


    "There is a legend in our East Maind: amidst the moonlight and starry night sky, many dragon


    shadows show up at the headquarters of the me Holy Land.


    It is said that the appearance of dragon shadows indicates that there is a treasure left here from the


    me Holy Land.


    Many cultivators tried their luck and came here to look for it.


    They looked everywhere in this endless desert.


    However, they found nothing as no sign of the treasure materialized.


    When they realized that their efforts and long journeys had been in vain, they stopped frequenting this


    area.


    But now, look! We just saw dragon shadows. That''s something!"


    Earth Hermit enthusiastically exined to Austin.


    "I see,"


    Austin responded, his deep-set eyes falling on the dragon shadows on the horizon.


    "Come on. Let''s go and take a look on that side,"


    Earth Hermit proposed, flying towards the dancing dragon shadows.


    The members of the me Holy Land followed him in an instant.


    It was known that temperatures in the desert varied greatly from day tonight. And at this point, the cold


    breeze started blowing from all directions, making all of them feel unbearable cold.


    The white dragon shadows appeared bleak at a distance, and seemed like they would disappear at any


    time.


    Earth Hermit, who noticed this, moved exceedingly fast, dashing below a dragon shadow within


    seconds.


    Austin, who was trailing behind, suddenly activated his Dragon Lightness. His movements turned so


    rapid in a blink of an eye, leaving a series of light dots behind every step he took.


    The four stewards stared dumbfound at Austin, their mouths agape in surprise.

    They found that Austin was only slightly slower than them.


    "It''s gone!"


    Just as all of them arrived at the ce where they spotted the dragon shadow, it was nowhere to be


    seen.


    "Let''s go look for the other dragon shadows!" Earth Hermit shouted with full expectation.


    He then dashed towards another dragon shadow nearby.


    However, just like a while ago, it instantly vanished before they could even reach the ce.


    This upsetting event duplicated further and happened to the rest of the dragon shadows.


    ''What''s this?


    Can these dragon shadows think like humans? Are they capable ofprehending things around


    them?


    They move as if they are trying to avoid us.''


    Everyone was overwhelmed with bewilderment and shock. It was not enough that they saw dragon


    shadows in person, but to realize that they were actually capable of thinking rationally was beyond any


    of their expectations.


    "Something bizarre is going on in thisnd,"


    Earth Hermit murmured, scanning the red desert with his sharp eyes.


    ''Did he also realize those strange, odd urrences? He must have figured out whatever was going on


    with the dragon shadows, ''


    Austin wondered as he read the look on Earth Hermit''s face.


    He began to deeply know Earth Hermit when he followed him to Purple Immortal''s tomb, unscathed


    and still very much alive.


    Since then, he recognized Earth Hermit''s pure intellect and power.


    Earth Hermit took out his oldpass and walked around while ncing at it from time to time,


    obviously checking the directions.


    Austin stayed close to him curiously.


    The silver needle inside thepass irked and rotated quickly as if it had sensed something.


    "Did you discover the location of the treasure, old man?


    If you did, don''t forget to take me with you. Don''t seek for it alone,"


    Austin uttered, hoping he could do something out of this endeavor.


    Earth Hermit just rolled his eyes at him in response.


    Ignoring Austin, he continued to strut with thepass in his hand.


    The rest of them also followed the two of them, wondering what they were doing.


    "Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"


    Suddenly, the sound of clothes billowing in the wind prated their ears, causing them to instantly


    stop in their tracks.


    As they searched for the source of that sound, they saw three figures stumbling towards them.


    "It''s the three elders!" someone suddenly gushed.


    Four stewards and disciples from the me Holy Land came dashing at them with untold excitement


    and joy written all over their faces.


    "There you are!"


    the three elders eximed in chorus.


    They nced at the disciples, with thrill and glee visible in their eyes.


    "Good! That''s good. I''m d that you made it out alive,"


    Elder Brendan said in a trembling voice, almost crying in sheer joy, knowing that hisrades were


    safe and sound.


    The three elders caught sight of Earth Hermit, who was murmuring with a brooding expression while


    holding thepass in his hands.


    His mere presence and the fact that he was with their disciples caught the three elders by great


    surprise.


    "Why are you here, Earth Hermit?" Elder Brenden asked, gaping at the old man.


    "Well, about that... Earth Hermit helped us flee from that ce,"


    Steward Nn exined abruptly, sensing the building tension.


    "What? Earth Hermit saved you?"


    Steward Nn''s exnation left the three elders more confused.


    But as soon as their eyes fell on Austin, they finally understood why Earth Hermit would havee to


    their crew''s aid.


    They knew he had rescued their folks for Austin''s sake.


    Words on the ground were that Earth Hermit and Austin worked together to take Purple Immortal''s


    coffin, so the young man was probably the only reason why the former helped their men out.
