Chapter 1406 - 1402

Hearing from the Little Paperman’s mouth that these scarlet clouds were indeed related to Yun Ran, a ’just as expected’ expression flashed across Xuan Chu’s face.

But what followed was a deeper anxiety.

Even the Little Paperman couldn’t sense Yun Ran’s location, making him think that the little bits of information he previously deduced might be true.

"What trouble did you encounter in that Dream Realm? I even went to the mountain where Yun Ran left, and the place has completely changed, with no trace of the Array!"

At this moment, Xuan Chu was truly anxious, but seeing the Little Paperman’s unhurried demeanor, he deeply understood the saying ’the Emperor isn’t worried, but the eunuch is’.

The Little Paperman’s shoulders suddenly slumped, and a hint of confusion flashed in its eyes. In truth, it didn’t know what actually happened back then.

It merely followed its master’s arrangement, transforming the cave with a natural Purification Array into Moonlight City, and as time passed, a thousand years had gone by.

"After the master left back then, he never returned, not even the Dragon King sent back any news.

Er Dan fell into a deep slumber five hundred years ago, Ma San, who helped me establish Moonlight City, died, and Mo Zhi is nowhere to be found.

Now, Moonlight City is held up by me alone. Over the years, many have coveted Moonlight City, and I have suffered many injuries..."

The Little Paperman simply recounted what it had been through over the years.

But hearing these words, Xuan Chu felt a discomfort in his heart, his eyes couldn’t help but redden.

"You’ve had a hard time all these years."

The Little Paperman didn’t feel the hardship; it was not human, so whether it was getting injured or enduring a thousand years of solitude, it wasn’t troubled.

The only thing that made the Little Paperman a bit angry was those people who didn’t think of striving for themselves but always tried to take by force.

"I don’t dare let people know that I can live forever, so every hundred years, I have to feign death and then reassert control over Ming Hall’s power.

Every time at this phase, someone would cause trouble, it’s really tiring, you kill one batch, and another pops up!"

Speaking of these, the Little Paperman got particularly angry.

Especially each time after feigning death, when it took a new identity to regain power, there were always old acquaintances who betrayed.

Those people thought that with the old person gone, there was no one left to maintain order.

There were even those he had trusted, who under the guise of righteousness and loyalty, stirred up trouble right after the feigned death.

Though the Little Paperman didn’t have many human emotions, being betrayed by those it trusted still saddened it.

Over a thousand years, it had witnessed too much human ugliness, and naturally, the Little Paperman now seemed to have completely changed.

"When Moonlight City was first built, I searched for you, but unfortunately, I couldn’t find you no matter what. It was at that time I knew, to find you, I had to wait for time to circle back a thousand years later.

So, from then on, I left your portrait behind in Ming Hall, just thinking, in case I couldn’t live to see a thousand years later, at least I could leave a clue for you."

Talking about the possibility of not living that long, the Little Paperman was very candid, as if how long it lived didn’t matter at all.

The more the Little Paperman spoke, the more Xuan Chu felt that the Little Paperman really had a tough time over the years, much more so than his mere anxious wait of a month.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot to say, just a few days ago, I suddenly discovered that history had changed, every person and thing from back then is different!"

Xuan Chu’s brain was still working well, and amidst his emotions, he didn’t forget his purpose for coming to the City Lord Mansion.

The Little Paperman, however, was not surprised at all.

"Since the owner of Moonlight City has changed, of course, the rest of history can too."

The former Moonlight City was established by the Murong Family, although later it might have been taken over, it didn’t change the fact that the first City Lord was Xin Murong.

The current City Lord of Moonlight City bears the surname Ma, and for the past thousand years, with the Little Paperman observing in the shadows, there has been no change of ownership.

Suddenly informed of so much news, Xuan Chu also needed time to digest it.

The Little Paperman didn’t disturb him, just sitting quietly nearby waiting, having waited through a thousand years, it didn’t mind waiting for this little bit more news.

The scarlet clouds at the horizon were spreading more and more, and the deepest shades of scarlet even tinged with a hint of black.

The Sound Transmission Talisman in the Little Paperman’s hand suddenly and unexpectedly lit up.

A young voice came from the other end: "Master, we caught someone who fell from the sky, wearing mysterious garments, and the person has fainted..."

In these years, many spies had been sent out by Ming Hall.

Especially during the occurrence of scarlet clouds every hundred years, all suspects, better to catch wrongly than to let one go.

This was the first time someone caught a person who fell from the sky and was dressed peculiarly.

The Little Paperman’s first reaction was, could there be others intruding into this Space Crack World?

After all, they had entered this way initially.

Not to mention, with the appearance of the scarlet clouds, the world’s defenses seemed to be weakening, making a new rift seem possible.

"Bring the person back first!"

After saying this, the talisman paper spontaneously combusted.

The Little Paperman looked over at Xuan Chu, naturally catching a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Xuan Chu had only merged with this altered history of Moonlight City a few days ago, so naturally, he wasn’t aware of the changes over the millennium.

The Little Paperman hurriedly explained to Xuan Chu about the occurrences: "Over the years, the barrier of this world is weakening, I don’t even know the reason.

During this time, I have joined forces with some of the Xuan Sect forces to investigate what caused these changes, but the result has been fruitless."

Back then, Er Dan led a team to explore a very dangerous abyss and ended up falling into a deep sleep, and still hasn’t awakened.

Mo Zhi too, she became a Ghost Cultivator, going to places others couldn’t.

But ultimately, Mo Zhi didn’t bring Yun Ran back, nor did she uncover any useful information; instead, she vanished without a trace.

Speaking of these, the Little Paperman felt exhausted.
