Chapter 173: 184

The moon thralls had already started invading the Star & Moon Camp. Gu Zhaoyue knew that he had no other choice if he wanted to save the people in the camp.

Even if he destroyed the fruit right now, it was still impossible to stop the ceaseless tide of moon thralls. He could only choose to take the fruit away.

Only by letting the source of attraction appear in another place can the camp survive.

Gu Zhaoyue slowly approached the shadow in the center, his gaze not daring to leave that shadow for even an instant—Gu Nan’s prestige was too high in his mind, so he couldn't afford to be careless.

It took a long time for Gu Zhaoyue to finally circle behind the shadow and find an opportunity to make his move.

He punched the shadow clone with all his might, but the latter didn't even groan. It just turned into a ball of shadows and dissipated, while the fruit fell into Gu Zhaoyue's hand.

"This…"

Success came way too smoothly, almost making Gu Zhaoyue think that it was Gu Nan's trap. However, the fruit in his hand clearly exuded strong energy fluctuations.

"There’s no time. Even if it’s a trap, I still have to step into the trap!" Gu Zhaoyue gritted his teeth and began to fly away from the camp.

However, a scarlet branch whipped out and completely smashed all his plans.

Ghost Tree had arrived.

The red-robed old man slowly walked out under the night sky, the ancient tree behind him still as solid as ever. The terrifying ferocity he displayed made Gu Zhaoyue’s heart sink.

When he saw the fruit in Gu Zhaoyue's hand, his face turned even colder. "Where is Gu Nan?"

Gu Zhaoyue heard the other person's question, then looked down at the fruit in his hand. His heart was full of bitterness—this was truly terrible timing. No one would believe him right now if he said that he wasn’t on Gu Nan’s side.

But Gu Zhaoyue was nevertheless a cunning old man who had lived for thousands of years, and he reacted quickly.

Instead of handing over the fruit, he pointed in one direction and said, "He went that way. My Lord, please follow me. I left a tracking mark on him!"

"Oh?" Ghost Tree raised his eyebrows. Although his expression was still indifferent, his voice seemed to contain some interest.

A trace of satisfaction flashed through Gu Zhaoyue's eyes. Naturally, his words were all lies, but it was impossible for the other party to judge them as lies immediately, and as long as he led the way, then his goal would be achieved.

Right now, he single-heartedly wanted to protect the camp to prevent all his efforts from going to waste. He didn’t want innocent survivors in the camp to die because of Gu Nan's selfish desires.

‘In the end, I grew soft…’ Gu Zhaoyue felt a little helpless in his heart, but he didn't regret it at all.

‘If I truly lived like Gu Nan and lost even my most basic humanity, then what's the point of living anymore?’

“Oh?"

An “Oh?” similar to Ghost Tree’s came, but the direction was the exact opposite of where Gu Zhaoyue had pointed to—Gu Nan was standing there with his arms folded.

Gu Zhaoyue’s face paled, and in the next second, Gu Nan's figure suddenly appeared in front of him, stabbing him in the abdomen with a sword.

The power of shadows began to pour out crazily, and the darkness spread rapidly from the wound, covering most of Gu Zhaoyue's body in the blink of an eye.

"You don’t even have the right to be nourishment," this was Gu Nan's evaluation of Gu Zhaoyue—he was a Heroic Spirit and couldn’t even transform into a moon thrall. ‘What's the use of keeping him?’

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

The sound of Big Brother’s heavy footsteps could be heard, and when Lin Duo and the others arrived, they saw the scene of Gu Zhaoyue being stabbed in the abdomen by a sword.

"Elder Gu!" Lin Duo immediately exclaimed, but her cry couldn’t change anything. Gu Zhaoyue was instantly torn to pieces.

Gu Zhaoyue was a kind of naturally-formed Heroic Spirit; he was the guardian of the Sun Moon Enchanted Box. He was actually a pure energy body and didn’t have a physical body.

Therefore, he was very resistant to physical attacks, but he was particularly vulnerable to Gu Nan's blow that contained the law of shadows.

All his energy was eroded by the power of shadows, and he shattered into pieces all over the sky.

The black pieces kept hitting her face as Lin Duo stared in a daze. Her emotions finally broke out, "Mr. Gu Nan, why… why did you do this?!”

Gu Nan coldly swept a glance over her. He slowly stepped out, but the sun and moon twin Heroic Spirits immediately blocked his way.

Gu Nan revealed an odd smile. These twins, which he released with his own hands, were now blocking his way. This really was interesting.

Of course, he’d gotten used to all sorts of bizarre missions, so Gu Nan was already immune to such things.

‘These two little fellows are one of my side quests, so I should leave them alive—they can be crippled as long as they don't die.’

"Gu Nan, you created the king of moon thralls with the moon fruit. If one day the moon thralls rule the continent, you will be the main cause of that disaster!" The little moon spirit loli shouted coldly.

Gu Nan smiled wordlessly. He just reached out a hand to grab her head.

The moon spirit reacted extremely quickly, as if she’d known in advance. Her body suddenly blurred, which made Gu Nan’s attempt fail.

"Interesting." Gu Nan smiled. These two little guys weren’t too strong, but their abilities were very strange.

The sun spirit also walked up and looked at him coldly. "Friends and allies deserting, becoming the enemy of both humans and gods—your death won’t be pretty."

Gu Nan didn't speak anymore. His gaze swept calmly across everyone.

Lin Ke was confused, Lin Duo was puzzled and dazed, the sun and moon spirits were indifferent, while Tian Tian harbored a bone-deep hatred—all their emotions emerged in his mind one by one.

Gu Nan shook his head gently. They might never understand that their views were meaningless to Gu Nan.

At the same time, a red light suddenly lit up behind Gu Nan. A branch suddenly whipped down and hit Gu Nan's back.

This blow was silent and didn't cause much damage to Gu Nan, but it succeeded in catching his attention.

Ghost Tree slowly walked over and smiled. "The moon thrall calamity has spread all over the continent. I didn't expect there to be a day when we at Nighthawk can also save the world."

Gu Nan also smiled. He let go of the moon fruit that he always held in his palm, letting it fall to the ground.

"Then, save yourselves first."

Red light shone from under Gu Nan’s feet. Ghost Tree’s Heroic Spirit domain was complete, but behind him, the cries of moon thralls began to ring.

The moon thralls were coming.

Ghost Tree seemed to understand something and looked at Gu Nan in disbelief. He activated the power of his domain to the extreme, and the branches flying all over the sky seemed like a flurry of dancing demons.

When the first moon thrall appeared, Gu Nan used Blink to directly teleport to the other side, and his figure instantly disappeared from inside Ghost Tree’s domain.

His domain might be able to limit the power of laws and even sense Gu Nan’s Hidden Shadow, rendering it useless, but the skills from the Evil God Temple could ignore that domain.

"No!" Ghost Tree roared in anger but could only watch Gu Nan jump away several times, his figure disappearing completely. However, there were more and more moon thralls gathered in the surroundings now.

There were moon thralls as far as the eye could see, covering everything in sight.

Except for Gu Zhaoyue, Gu Nan didn't kill anyone here, because they could all become nourishment.

Bursts of bloodthirsty roars came. Along with Big Brother, the other six moon thrall kings all arrived. The curtains to the final play were about to be lifted.
