Bulwark of Light

Chapter 971
"ended?"

As soon as Gu Shen entered the courtyard, he saw Song Ci staring at him.

He smiled and said, "It's over."

"We agreed to kill people together, why didn't you call me?"

Song Ci said angrily, "When I opened my eyes, I realized that you were gone."

"I never promised you to kill people together."

Gu Shen said helplessly, "Are you in a hurry in Guangming City?"

"The fire trial is too boring, and there is no competition." Song Ci put his hands behind his head and yawned: "It would be great if I could find someone to fight with."

"If there is a competition... who will fight you? Who can beat you?"

Gu Shen sighed and said: "The list of primary candidates has been released, and the next step is the test of the heart washing pool. I heard that the elder of the temple will personally preside over the next 'fire trial' from today, so you have to be careful."

"Be careful of what?"

Song Ci grinned and said, "Do these fellows from the Temple of God dare to do anything to me?"

"Over the years, the temple has been recruiting [undead]."

Gu Shen looked dignified, and said: "Even if you have reached the culmination of cultivation, this is after all the land shrouded by the God of Light. What kind of means they have is yet to be known."

Song Ci gradually restrained his smile.

Regarding the news about the temple's collection of undead, he actually knew about it a long time ago.

"You mean...they could really attack me?"

"There is a saying that is very appropriate here. If it wasn't that I couldn't beat you, I would have beaten you a long time ago."

Gu Shenyu said earnestly: "In the early years you were in Dongzhou, even if you were not in a miraculous place like Nagano, it would be difficult for the holy inquisitors they sent to take you away...only through the guidance of the dream of light, It keeps attracting you to go westward. But it’s different now, you have personally come to Xizhou, which is their territory. If they want to do something to the [undead], then this is the right time.”

"Fun, interesting."

Although Song Ci said so, there was no contempt in his eyes.

He murmured, "I've always been curious about what the temple is planning to do so frantically looking for [undead]..."

"When you see that great elder, you must be cautious and be careful."

Gu Shen warned: "It is said that he has followed the God of Light for many years, and his strength has been raised to the extreme. Even if you have practiced in God of War, you can't be careless."

"Don't worry."

Song Ci nodded, and said solemnly: "He dared to attack me, I will directly demolish the temple!"

……

……

It wasn't long before the Gu family mission settled down for a rest.

A guest came to the door alone, it was Yao Jin who had accompanied the great elder to apologize.

Luo Yu put it aside on the grounds that the young master was busy, Yao Jin was not in a hurry or annoyed, and just waited in front of the gate of the mansion until evening, the old sunset set, the new sun rose, and the celebration parade on the far street Never resting, he sat quietly in the wheelchair, as if he was a grain of sand outside the house in this scripture of bliss.

Luo Yu pushed the door for the second time, saw that this guy was still there, and said neatly: "Master Yao, don't wait, the young master doesn't want to see you."

"Yao violated the mission earlier and made a mistake first."

Yao Jin said in a soft voice: "Even though the Great Elder has made an apology, some mistakes... still have to be borne by me."

Luo Yu was unmoved, and asked calmly: "Didn't you understand what the young master said earlier?"

Pause slightly.

"You... what qualifications do you have to apologize to the young master?"

Luo Yu didn't have much patience, and said coldly: "The Gu family mission is busy with business, so I don't have time to talk to you. Master Yao please do it yourself. If you really like to wait, you can find a remote alley and wait slowly. Don't stand in the way at this door!"

"Meng Xizhou."

Yao Jin raised his head and spit out these three words.

Luo Yu paused when he was about to close the door. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the sick and weak young man in front of him.

"My Goddess, who has not been heard from for six years... Gu Nanfeng insisted on going west this time, is it because of her?"

Yao Jin said slowly: "Don't you want to know the whereabouts of Goddess?"

Luo Yu's eyes were full of coldness.

As Gu Nanfeng's deputy, he naturally knew some inside information about this matter.

It is impossible for Meng Xizhou to serve the God Throne in the Red Lake!

After thinking about it...the only possibility is to be locked in the secret prison, and the person in charge of the secret prison is the person in front of you.

"What do you want to say?"

"There are some things where suspicion alone is not enough."

Yao Jin said seriously: "Master Gu came to Guangming City, and the next step is to find the whereabouts of the Goddess. If you let me come to the door today and chat a few words...the mission of the Gu family doesn't have to waste all that time, I will tell your family Young master, where has the goddess been all these years, and what have she done?"

"Bang!" Luo Yu closed the door heavily.

Yao Jin kept his eyes on his nose, his nose and his heart. After he finished speaking, he continued to wait patiently.

Not long after, there was the sound of heavy footsteps, and the door of the mansion was opened again.

"Enter."

Luo Yu remained expressionless and only uttered one word.

Yao Jin smiled slightly, pushed the wheelchair, and followed behind Luo Yu. After the door of the mansion was closed, the hustle and bustle of the outside world was cut off. The night watchmen of the Gu family mission all looked indifferently, watching him...

Yao Jin is very familiar with these gazes.

Many years ago, every time he passed the long corridor of the secret prison, someone looked at him like this.

Only later...

The gaze disappeared.

Those who were trapped in the secret prison all cast fearful eyes.

After that, no one dared to look at him.

Wherever he passed, there was silence.

"Young Master Gu, we meet again."

The mansion arranged by the temple for the Gu family mission is very large. The overall layout of Guangming City and Snow Forbidden City are very similar. They are all old alleys and houses. Even if the technology of the human world is further developed by [Deep Sea], these ancient historical buildings have also been restored. Saved, Luo Yu led the way ahead, Yao Jin got his wish and met Gu Nanfeng.

There are several banyan trees and a stone table in the courtyard.

There is only a stone bench beside the table, and there is only a pot of tea on the table.

The prepared tea and stools are naturally reserved for the young master.

Gu Nanfeng cut to the chase: "Where is Meng Xizhou?"

"Young Master Gu, don't be so anxious."

Yao Jin pushed the wheelchair and sat across from Gu Nanfeng without any notice. He smiled and said, "I have been handicapped for many years, and I usually use a wheelchair when I travel, so there is no need to move a stool for me. It's just that I have been running around all day, dripping water. I haven't entered yet, can I ask for a sip of tea?"

"The face is really big."

Luo Yu asked angrily: "Inviting you into the mansion, do you really treat yourself as a guest?"

"Lord Luo Yu, this is not appropriate."

Yao Jin counterattacked calmly: "This is Xizhou after all, you must have forgotten that the house where the Gu family mission is stationed...was arranged by the temple."

Luo Yu's expression was not very good-looking.

He is not good at talking, but he knows Yao Jin's irony.

Yao Jin didn't mention a word, but sent back his sentence "Inviting you into the mansion, do you really treat yourself as a guest?"

"As a member of the temple, there are official duties in the body, and it is right not to let a drop of water enter before it is completed."

Gu Nanfeng said indifferently: "Master Yao has such a heavy burden, and he came to my house when he took the time, he didn't come here for personal matters...I'm afraid I don't have time to drink this tea."

He raised his hand.

Luo Yu understood and took the tea away.

"..."

Yao Jin's lips twitched slightly, and he still smiled politely: "Young Master Gu is quite considerate, and I am so grateful."

"The Gu family first entered Xizhou, and prepared some small gifts, which they are going to send to all the adults."

Gu Nanfeng's tone remained unchanged, and he said, "I'm leaving the mansion soon, Master Yao Jin should hurry up."

He was not interested in what else Yao Jin had to say.

"Presumably among these many 'small gifts', there is also a Goddess?"

Yao Jin said gently: "Young master Gu, congratulations, this gift can be saved...because the goddess is still in the secret prison."

This statement came out.

The temperature in the garden is much cooler.

Yao Jin narrowed his eyes, his mental power was extremely outstanding, from the moment he saw Gu Nanfeng, he felt that the person in front of him seemed to be composed of countless strands of flowing wind... At this moment, the fine leaves of the big banyan tree were churning When he got up, the originally silent courtyard suddenly gushed in a myriad of cold winds.

These winds are not gentle.

He noticed that Gu Nanfeng had a wooden knife on his waist.

"In the past six years, the goddess seldom ate or drank water in the secret prison, and sat cross-legged facing the dry wall every day."

Yao Jin continued: "I am the only one who can see her... But there is one fact that makes people feel emotional. After being confined in darkness for six years, Goddess still misses you. Every time I open my mouth, I will ask you about your situation." There are some things she doesn't want to talk about, but once the Gu family is used as a bargaining chip, there will be a place for mediation."

boom!
The cold wind between the sky and the earth suddenly blew!
Gu Nanfeng became the eye of the storm that was swept by countless gusts of wind!
"Clap-clack-"

Yao Jin's sleeves were rattling, and he was crushed by countless storms in an instant, his sleeves were torn, and several bloody mouths appeared on his cheeks.

Yao Jin could smell his own blood.

But he is still smiling.

The strong wind almost completely flooded the courtyard where only the two of them were alone.

Two sharp blades protruded from the base of the alloy wheelchair, piercing firmly into the ground.

Yao Jin struggled to hold on to the wheelchair, stabilized his figure, and said with a smile, "Master Nanfeng, do you want to see the goddess?"

"Do you know that it only takes one knife to kill you?"

Gu Nanfeng's voice was extremely calm and indifferent amidst countless howling winds.

"Yao Jin knows that his life is as cheap as an ant."

The sickly man in the wheelchair chuckled and said, "If Young Master Gu is not used to it, he can kill him with a knife. But there is one thing, Yao Jin wants to remind the young master... this is Guangming City."

The word Guangming City seems to be a piece of solid iron in this violent wind.

Yao Jin stared at the man in front of him.

He knew very well that in this God's Domain... Gu Nanfeng would not do stupid things to kill himself.

What is his identity?
But a humble shadow.

And Gu Nanfeng is the head of the five great families, the Patriarch of the Nagano Gu Clan, and the future leader of Dongzhou!
This is also the reason why he dared to come to the Gu family mission alone.

Now that he has stood under the light, he no longer fears death in the dark.

His life is very cheap, but it is also very valuable.
