Chapter 163 Past Events
“The Vast Expanse Sword, Northess!” You Ge suddenly stands up, and the wine cup in his hand explodes into countless pieces with a “bang”. “The great enemy of the Temple, the glorious remnants. Two hundred years ago, their bodies were stained with Lombar’s blood. Of course I know!”
“Please relax, my princess. I’m talking about the past.” Mu Yu Ling Lan said calmly.
You Ge slowly sits down and stays silent for a while before saying, “Sorry, I’ve lost my composure. Please continue.” Mu Yu Ling Lan drank all the red wine in her glass and told her everything that happened back then.
Twenty years ago …
In the Diocese of the Temple in the southern region of the Northern Wilderness Continent, a Holy Light Purification Squad accidentally discovered a large insecticide family and immediately carried out a siege.
“I heard from my family’s elders that I was just born. The Southern Diocese sent people to the Golden Triangle for help. My father rejected their request on the grounds that there were children born in the family who could not be slaughtered. It is said that many Templars were sacrificed in the Southern Temple at that time, and a regional archbishop was killed.” You Ge interrupted.
Mu Yulan nodded and continued her narrative.
The Rain Prayer Priest said that the situation back then was extremely tragic, and the Southern Temple had lost sixteen Holy Light purification squads. The Bug Transformation Clan retreated as they fought. In the end, they fled to Tieshan Town and hid.
A few days later, the Southern Temple gathered a large number of psionic forces at the border of Silver City 13, requesting to enter Iron Mountain Town to search for the remnants of the insecticides. However, they did not receive the permission of the Rain Prayer Priest, so they did not dare to rashly enter the parish of Notre Dame.
At that time, the loss of the Southern Temple was extremely heavy, and a regional archbishop had fallen. The newly appointed regional archbishop personally ran to the Rain Prayer Temple and requested that the Rain Prayer Sacrifice be allowed to pass through. He said that he could ignore the other insecticides, but this family was the remnant of the Temple of Glory, Northess. If they could not be exterminated, they would be a great threat to the Temple in the future.
Back then, the Rain Prayer Sacrifice was extremely troublesome. If it was allowed, it would violate the teachings of Notre Dame. If it was not allowed, it would be difficult to reconcile the contradictions of the Temple. Just as she was in a dilemma, Leylin Morton, the head of the Leylin Clan, stepped forward and demanded to go to Tieshan Town to capture the “criminal”.
However, the Rain Prayer Sacrificial Priest immediately rejected his request. These so-called “criminals” did not commit crimes, and those who served the Rain God could not do anything that went against their hearts. As for Leylin Morton, he immediately stated that this was a private action of the Leylin Clan. It had nothing to do with Silver City No. 13 or the Divine Hall of Prayer for Rain. He left immediately after he finished speaking.
The next morning, Leylin Morton gathered his family’s private forces and drove into Iron Mountain Town to search for “criminals”. On the afternoon of the third day, Leylin Morton returned unexpectedly, bringing back the corpses of more than 70 insecticides.
Strangely, the newly appointed regional archbishop looked at the truckload of corpses, but he was somewhat dissatisfied. He looked like he wanted to say something, but in the end, he left.
At this point, Mu Yu Ling Lan pointed out a few doubts.
Firstly, the Lei Ling Clan was ranked at the end of the eight great clans of Silver City No. 13. No matter how powerful their private soldiers were, they could not be a match for the Northess Clan. The Temple had lost sixteen teams and a Saint-ranked regional archbishop, and the Lei Ling Clan’s small strength was simply impossible to defeat.
Second, even though his goal had been achieved, the newly appointed regional archbishop was still unsatisfied.
Thirdly, the Lei Ling Clan was originally only the end of the eight great clans. Ever since that incident, the clan’s momentum had soared. Now, it had climbed to the position of the second clan in Silver City No. 13.
The Rain Prayer Priest had suspected that the Lei Ling Clan had a private deal with the Bug Transformation Clan, but she still couldn’t find any evidence. She originally wanted to investigate this matter, but not long after, the patriarchs of three of the other seven families made it clear to her, “Let bygones be bygones. Don’t bring it up again, so as not to affect internal unity.” In order to avoid internal conflicts in Silver City 13, the Rain Prayer Sacrificial Priest did not investigate any further.
Today, the Lei Ling Clan and the three clans that had raised objections back then had become the four great clans of Silver City No. 13, while the rest of the clans were slowly declining and gradually withdrawing from the inner circle.
“Leylin Morton is an old fox. He never does anything that doesn’t benefit him.” Mu Yu Ling Lan poured a glass of wine and gently sipped. She moistened her throat and said, “Now, let’s hypothesize.”
“The Northess family will bring him considerable benefits, so he took the risk. And his benefits are the development of the family.”
“If there is a powerful Origin Energy expert behind them, then everything is possible.”
“Together with what happened to the princess three years ago, the truth will emerge.” Mu Yu Ling Lan concluded.
You Ge pondered for a long time before nodding his head and saying, “The Origin Energy behind them must have come from Northess. According to ancient records in the Temple, 700 years ago, a glorious Great Prophet appeared in the Northess Clan. They possessed the bloodline of an Origin Energy Cultivator.” You Ge looks up at Mu Yu Ling Lan and says, “I have to tell grandfather, otherwise it will cause the world to be in turmoil in the future.”
“If you say so, there is no need to wait until the future. The world will be in turmoil now.” Mu Yu Ling Lan asked solemnly, “Do you want to provoke a conflict between Notre Dame and the Temple?”
“You don’t understand, Northas is too dangerous!” You Ge stands up and says excitedly.
“Please think calmly. No matter how dangerous it is, they will be exterminated. Otherwise, the Archbishop of the region wouldn’t have left so easily.” Mu Yu Ling Lan gently advised, “Perhaps they only have this one Origin Energy practitioner left. Besides, the four great clans of Silver City 13 are all old foxes. Can they let him out to stir up trouble? Let’s take a step back and say, even if they released a portion of Northess back then, after so many years, can they still find him?”
“Looks like this matter is going to be shelved.” You Ge sighs and returns to the sofa.
“Let’s make a long-term plan. It’s not too late to make a decision after investigating the situation clearly.” Mu Yu Ling Lan shook her glass and continued, “It is in the interest of the Divine Hall of Prayer for Rain to secretly weaken the four great clans of Silver City No. 13.”
“Why is your gaze still on the Rain Prayer Temple? Your future should be in the Moon Prayer Temple.” You Ge said.
“That’s my home” Mu Yu Ling Lan looked up at the crystal chandelier above the hall and said leisurely.
However, this faint sadness was quickly destroyed …
You Ge stands up and pretends to be panicked as he approaches Mu Yu Ling Lan and says, “Beautiful girl ~ ~ I’m in love with you ~ What should I do ~ What should I do ~”
“Let’s go take a shower first and calm down.” Mu Yu Ling Lan suggested seriously.
“Together?” “I’m going back. Thank you for your hospitality.” “You are rejecting a Lombar’s friendship and goodwill.”
Mu Yu Ling Lan took a step back and asked casually, “Can I eat as a meal?”
‘”Of course I can” You Ge laughed wickedly and said in a long voice.
Just as the two women started to fight, in the guild assembly hall of Ares Temple, the iron slag was pacing back and forth, looking somewhat impatient and uncalm. He looked at his watch. It was eleven forty-five in the evening, half an hour before he left.
After a few minutes, Qin Ke’er reported, “All the supplies have been loaded.”
“Where’s my car?” Iron Slag asked.
“The red comet has been transported into the cabin. Please rest assured.” Qin Ke’er replied.
“It’s all done. Why can’t we take off?” Tie Zha asked.
“Wait for the approval of the route.” Qin Ke’er explained.
“How troublesome.” Tie Zha sighed and casually pulled a chair and sat down. Qin Ke’er brought him a cup of hot water and placed it on the conference table beside her. She seemed to see through his impatience and stood there quietly without disturbing him.
Time ticked by, and the time to set off was getting closer and closer. Tie Zha’s mood gradually relaxed. He is really afraid of seeing You Ge. He doesn’t know how to face this former friend. In his opinion, they were already settled. He sent her home, and she gave him a Harley. They bid him farewell. This was the best outcome. They were originally people from different worlds, with different positions, different ideas, and different pursuits. Most importantly, their beliefs were different.
She was the princess of the temple, the symbol of the temple, the temple itself, the great enemy of glory. As long as he killed her, he would be able to severely injure the Temple. If one day, she was close, he didn’t know if he could withstand the temptation.
Unknowingly, his soul had already merged with the glorious sacred flame. The glorious past was his past, the glorious glory was his glory, and the glorious sorrow was his sorrow. He was no longer the teenager from Tieshan Town, living without knowing anything about the world. Right now, he was already a brilliant fire seed, carrying the vicissitudes of a hundred years and the last hope.
The surging vitality in his body seemed to be silently recounting the boundless mission, reminding him to move forward, reminding him to work hard …
“Guild Leader, you can set off now.”
Qin Ke’er’s soft voice sounded in her ears. He raised his head blankly. He didn’t know when his teammates had already stood in line and were ready to leave. He stood up straight and looked forward. His gaze suddenly narrowed as he shouted in a deep voice, “Let’s go!”
A moment later, a group of cadets in waterproof uniforms walked into the arena and chased after the aircraft. They remained silent, their footsteps swift, without a moment’s delay.
The leader was Guild Leader Tie Zha, who wore large sunglasses. On his left was Logistics Officer Qin Ke’er and ace mech pilot Mu Qianhe. On his right was Deputy Guild Leader Wang Hu and Assistant Logistics Officer Bai Xiaoyun. Next was Porcupine, Match, Tuoba San, two Intermediate Mech pilots and twelve Marine soldiers.
In front of them was a small aircraft that had put down the stairs. Silently, Iron Slag walked forward quickly. Soon, he arrived under the aircraft and walked step by step up the folding ladder made of alloy.
Fifteen minutes later, the flying machine soared into the air and flew towards the distant central continent.
At the same time, on the command tower on the apron, two student council assistants were watching the aircraft leave.
Looking at the little red dot disappearing into the horizon, the assistant president sighed deeply and said. “Alright, this is the end of the matter.”
‘”Mm ~ I have to celebrate tonight ~” suggested the assistant vice president.
“How do you celebrate?” “Let’s go to your house for a drink.” “Don’t …” “Go to my house and drink ~” “Don’t … your sister is so serious. She looks scary.” ‘”Then let’s go to your house ~” “No” “Then let’s go to my house ~” “No” “Why don’t we go to your house ~” “No” “Why don’t we go to my house ~”
As they talked softly, they walked out of the command tower and gradually disappeared into the night …
