Translator: Mercurial_ Editor: DarkGem
One hour, two hours, three hours, four hours, nine hours—no one could say how long the situation would continue. All of the spectators forgot everything else and kept waiting with their hearts in their throats, bodies shaking
Gradually, the night left and the morning came, followed by afternoon. Finally, one Hall clansman couldn't help but cry out in surprise, which was a great disturbance in the tense atmosphere.
"He succeeded. Heaven, Yunmu succeeded!"
Increasingly more and more of Hall clansmen began to join in the cheering. It was because at that instant, Li Yunmu was finally able to dispel the death aura which had invaded his hand from Widowed Nakht's body after preserving for a full day and night. His fight had lasted twenty-eight hours.
While dispelling it, Li Yunmu had also dispersed a large amount of death aura, which was certainly a sign of success.
And sure enough, that step had settled his victory. After the majority of the initial amount of the death aura had been dispersed, in another hour, the remaining amount was also exterminated by the enormous amount of vitality. Finally, after a long time, a sign of liveliness appeared in the elderly woman who possessed the unique position of Widowed Nakht in the Hall Clan.
By the time Li Yunmu stopped Plant Essence Innate Healing Reversal, the trees in the surrounding several kilometers had completely wilted. Deathly stillness prevailed in the circle around him. Although Widowed Nakht had been successfully saved, the surroundings of the clan's stronghold had turned into a death zone.
The tribesmen would have to change move away and build a new stronghold. Fortunately, there was no lack of jungle in Hall Mountain Island. Thus, it didn't bother the Hall clansmen much; at least, their Widowed Nakht had returned after the price had been paid.
"They're saying that you are very capable and the most mystical person they have met. Now, you can also be considered the most intimate friend of the Hall Clan," Night translated the cheers of the Hall clansmen.
"I request you to inform them that this Yunmu is very willing to become a friend of Hall Clan. I hope this friendship can exist for eternity."
When Li Yunmu heard Night's words, he promptly put on an act and paid his respects to the Hall Clan as their friend. His actions immediately caused the majority of Hall Clan to look at him in a favorable light. They were extremely impressed by this modest youngster with etiquette. His actions successfully pulling them in closer.
"You're not bad, you should know that you are one of the few foreigners accepted by the Hall Clan. You have obtained their interest and friendship which hadn't happened in the past several hundred years."
Night was still covered in the black gown and black mask, revealing only her deep eyes. But Li Yunmu could feel that underneath the expressionless mask, she had smiled for the first time. He found it really beautiful, even if he had only seen the slight change in her eyes.
"You… Are you also from the Hall Clan?"
Li Yunmu was in a good mood. Although he was tired, he couldn't help but ask the question which was constantly on his mind.
"Yes. I am a Hall clansman. The blood that flows in my body might not be, but I have no doubt about it," Night replied in a determined voice.
Her reply baffled Li Yunmu.
For the next two days, he remained in Hall Mountain Island as a guest. The aboriginals used their best delicacies and enthusiastically entertained him.
Although the death aura had been completely eliminated from the body of Widowed Nakht, she had become very weak and was still unconscious due to having suffered under it for a long period of time.
However, Night said that as long as ancient god's evil spirit didn't seize her life, Widowed Nakht wouldn't die.
After two days, Li Yunmu's condition was restored. He then decided to return back to Blue Moon Island. On the trip, he had obtained a great harvest. First, there were the four source manuscripts promised by the Hall Clan. Second, he had also received an accessory which was a miniature skull of a mythical beast.
He was told that it was the beast mount of the fire god worshiped by the Hall Clan since ancient times. Its name was Karl Werther, and it looked like a lion and a sinister demon combined into one. Every Hall clansman carried it with them, and all those who possess it were considered as members of the Hall Clan.
Naturally, it was just a beast skull of ordinary grade and not a high grade one like that of Night. From then on, Li Yunmu knew that Night's status was extremely high in the Hall Clan. The beast skull which he had obtained only represented that he was comparable to an ordinary member, but even so, this treatment was already breaking the rules of a clan which didn't accept any outsiders.
Moreover, Night had told him that Hall clansmen weren't as few in number as he'd seen. The Origin World was vast and there were Hall clansmen in other places. Thus, his greatest harvest weren't the source manuscripts, but rather the friendship of Hall clansmen whom he hadn't even met yet.
On top of that, Li Yunmu had also obtained a weapon used by the Hall clansmen—a wooden pike.
Based on appearance, it was an extremely ordinary pike which seemed quite unsightly and blunt.
However, after gaining understanding about it in the past days, Li Yunmu knew that the material used to create it was actually very famous in the Origin World and possessed a grand reputation.
The pike's wood came from Primitive Trees which were trees that were more than ten thousand years old. In the whole world, there were very few ten thousand year old trees, and each of them was extraordinary.
And Li Yunmu's new pike was created from the wood of Primitive Trees. It was said that couldn't be damaged even by deities.
The wooden pike from the Hal Clan was very mysterious. By using the blood of some monsters together with tree juice, some crisscrossing patterns had been drawn upon the wood which caused the pike to have some mysterious power which not even the gods and ghosts possessed.
And that power was precisely what had attracted Li Yunmu. It interested him from where such an extraordinary power which approached the divine layer had come and how it was born.
