Bulwark of Light

Chapter 976 There Is No Light In The Outside World

"My lord, these people have followed your orders... to live in Guangming City."

The backyard of the residence of the Gu family mission.

Zhong Fan was puzzled and asked: "It's just that I have one thing that I don't quite understand. Since I chose to summon the night watchmen, is it necessary to arrange them so scatteredly?"

"Have."

There was no need for Gu Nanfeng to answer, Luo Yu said: "The matter of robbing the prison has been determined before... Only the young master can do this. No matter how many night watchmen come from the Gu family, it will be in vain."

"Not bad." Zhong Fan nodded.

He also agrees with this.

The speed of the young master Nanfeng is the first-class existence in Wuzhou today.

If you want to rob a secret prison, the more people you have, the more trouble you will have.

Luo Yu said slowly: "The reason why these night watchmen were rushed from all over Xizhou to Guangming City... is because they don't really need to do anything. They just need to come, and it has already played a role."

Zhong Fan came to his senses: "The purpose of this arrangement is to let the temple split up its staff?"

"At the time of the holy book of light, a large number of holy inquisitors need to maintain order, and countless eyes from all over the five continents fall here."

Luo Yu said: "If the Holy Inquisitor wants to forcibly control and take them in, my Gu family can even come forward and admit that these extraordinary people are night watchmen who are loyal to the Gu family. At worst, I will return to Dongzhou this time and bring them with me. As long as these people are quiet If they stay in the city and do not do anything against the law, Guangming City will have no reason to deal with them...It is a sharp arrow if they are not fired."

Zhong Fan thought for a moment, then asked, "What should Yao Jin do if he should not?"

Yao Jin had just visited the mansion in person and sent out this blueprint.

He should know too.

The real robbery, in fact, only the young master can do it.

"Yao Jin shouldn't, it's not important."

Gu Nanfeng, who had been silent all this time, spoke at this moment: "This is for Su Ye to see."

Zhong Fan was startled for a second.

"After the Gu family mission arrived in Guangming City, I sent people to the temple to give gifts, and it took a few days to visit them one by one."

Gu Nanfeng said gently: "Su Ye, like Yao Jin, is a shadow cultivated secretly by the temple. Characters like them may be submerged in darkness for the rest of their lives... When they find an opportunity, they must desperately climb up. Now Yao Jin Since he is highly valued by the temple, Su Ye certainly won't just watch him gain power like this."

He looked at Zhong Fan and asked, "If you were Yao Jin, after making mistakes one after another...would you tell Su Ye about sending out the 'Secret Prison Blueprint'?"

"will not."

Zhong Fan shook his head and murmured: "So Su Ye doesn't know Yao Jin's layout for the 'Secret Prison' at all."

"Actually, it doesn't matter if I tell you."

Gu Nanfeng said softly: "Since the Gu family has decided to summon the night watchmen who have been ignorant for many years, the Holy Inquisitor must watch carefully, even if these people do nothing... As Luo Yu just said, there are only unresolved issues. Arrows will make people vigilant."

Yao Jin sent the blueprint of the secret prison, which is a conspiracy.

He let the night watchmen enter the city of light, which is also a conspiracy.

"And, there is one more thing."

Gu Nanfeng asked: "Aren't you curious about the whereabouts of the second elder of the temple?"

"About Yuan Yang, there have been various rumors in the past two days."

Luo Yu rubbed his chin: "Some people say that Yuan Yang is out on a mission, while others say that he is recovering from an illness."

"all fake."

Gu Nanfeng said: "This second elder of the temple, although his cultivation talent is average, but he has been with the God of Light for a long time, how could he be sick at this time? As for going out to perform tasks, it is even more nonsense... Yuan Yang is in charge of the temple He is the only one who is absent from the Canon of Light, so what task is more important than his post?"

"so?"

"Secret prison, or secret prison."

Gu Nanfeng said: "This kind of thing can only be conjecture, there is no evidence. But I guess Yuan Yang is also in the secret prison at the moment, which is why Yao Jin is reused."

Luo Yu frowned and asked, "Did Yuan Yang commit some heinous mistake? How could he be thrown into a secret prison?"

"The case files of Togase Shozo point to the temple."

Gu Nanfeng said: "If the dark thread that Shen Li pulled out was exposed by Yuan Yang...then he did touch the law of the temple."

Luo Yu suddenly realized: "In this way, it will make sense!"

He looked at the young master with reverence in his eyes.

"No, this is not the whole truth..." Gu Nanfeng murmured: "I remember she once told me that in the Temple of Light, there are very few people who really treat her well, and the second elder Yuanyang is one of them." one."

There was a brief silence in the courtyard.

Both Luo Yu and Zhong Fan knew that the "she" mentioned by the young master was referring to that girl Meng.

During this brief silence, Luo Yu thought of the meaning Gu Nanfeng was referring to.

His pupils shrank slightly, and he said in disbelief: "You mean, Yuan Yang entered the secret prison to win Miss Meng's trust?"

"I don't know why the temple locked the goddess in a secret prison."

"Is it just because you regret the marriage?"

"I'm afraid...it's not that simple."

Gu Nanfeng gritted his teeth, and said: "In the past 20 years, Meng Xizhou has received unique 'divine favor'. She was born to be close to the light, and the god seat bestowed countless glory and light on the Meng family. If you regret the marriage, why send her directly to the secret prison? Take ten thousand steps back, if you really want to deal with her, why not deprive her of the title of 'goddess'?"

If you don't strip your name, there is still an opportunity for mediation in this matter.

Nowadays, countless people outside are speculating about the whereabouts of the Goddess of Light.

The temple even released the news that "the goddess serves the sick bed of the throne".

"This matter...is really incomprehensible."

Luo Yu rubbed the center of his brows, and murmured: "I'm afraid the young master will only know the answer when you meet that Meng girl and ask yourself."

Gu Nanfeng let out a faint breath.

"If Yuan Yang's entry into the secret prison is actually just acting, then Yao Jin's superiority will be explained."

"Just, what should Su Ye think?"

He looked up at Luo Yu, then at Zhong Fan.

"As the Holy Son, Su Ye must be on guard against Yao Jin taking his place... He can't let Yao Jin stand in the light all the time." Luo Yu said solemnly: "Jia Wei sits in the Red Lake, and Yao Jin monopolizes the power of the secret prison." He is the only one who has the final say on the execution progress of Yuan Yang's mission, Su Ye cannot allow this kind of thing to happen."

"Yes."

Zhong Fan also responded: "So Su Ye...may enter the secret prison?"

"Not possible, but certain—"

Gu Nanfeng paused and said: "Su Ye will definitely remove Yao Jin's power as the Holy Inquisitor first, and then visit the secret prison in person!"

The power of the secret prison is bestowed by the temple, which Su Ye cannot take away.

"Su Ye will visit Yuan Yang in person, and find a chance to release Yuan Yang..."

Luo Yu suddenly understood something, and he murmured in shock: "Young master, you are not planning to go to prison at this time, are you?"

……

……

"Xizhou..."

"Xizhou..."

In the deepest part of the dark and dark secret prison, the iron cage painted with black and silver separated the two of them.

Although there is only a wall, it seems like there is a moat.

Meng Xizhou sat facing the stone wall. She has maintained this posture for a long, long, long time.

As a goddess of light, being locked in a place where she cannot see the slightest light... This is really absurd and ironic.

now.

In the black and silver secret prison next door, Yuan Yang's hoarse call came.

Yao Jin deliberately did not block the transmission of voices between the two cages... Just as he told Meng Xizhou, Yuan Yang's task is to extract the unfinished information from the goddess.

Yao Jin, the head of the secret prison, is very good at manipulating people's hearts even though he is young.

In front of Meng Xizhou and Yuan Yang, he tore the last layer of "window-shielding paper" between the master and apprentice.

How can the darkness of this secret prison compare to the heart of the soul?

After shouting several times, Meng Xizhou opened his eyes.

She looked disappointedly at the dark black and silver secret wall beside her, and said in a self-deprecating tone: "Master, I never expected to meet you on such an occasion."

"..."

Yuan Yang was silent for several seconds.

He sat leaning against the black and silver secret wall, his expression was very depressed, and his voice was hoarse: "Master, I'm sorry."

It's not that he hasn't thought about pleading for mercy these years.

only……

Anything goes.

However, the matter of the goddess was not discussed.

The great elder told him that if Meng Xizhou did not reveal the whereabouts of the [Holy Book], it would be a betrayal of the light, and the city of light would never allow such a traitor to become a goddess and inherit the fire.

"If it weren't for what Yao Jin said, I might really believe you."

Meng Xizhou said softly: "After all, you are my master, you have saved me and the Meng family... and these years, I have had delusions that maybe you would like to come to see me in the secret prison, even if you are not Rescuing me out is just a brief meeting, and Xizhou is satisfied from the bottom of his heart."

"The Meng family...has been doing well in recent years."

Yuan Yang's voice was a little weak, and he said with a smile: "How can I have the face to see you? Yao Jin is right. Originally, entering the secret prison this time was only my task. If I cheated out the whereabouts of the 'Holy Book', it would be considered a successful task." .”

"I have begged the Great Elder many times in the past few years, and I can't count them. I know that there is no room for maneuver..."

"I struggled for a long time."

"In the end I made a decision."

"I thought, even if I lose this old face and use the method of 'deception', I still have to settle your matter...so I came here."

Yuan Yang leaned against the wall and said softly: "Did you know that the selection of the 'Successor of the Fire Seed' has already begun outside."

After piercing that layer of window paper.

Yuan Yang had nothing to hide.

He frankly admitted his reason for coming: "Xiao Meng, you are the real successor of Tinder, you should go to the outside world, you should go to see the light."

This voice echoed in the black and silver secret prison and lingered for a long time.

Unfortunately.

Meng Xizhou just shook his head.

"If I have to tell the whereabouts of the 'Holy Book' to get out of this secret prison, then I would rather not go out."

She lowered her eyebrows and smiled, and asked, "In the outside world...where is there light?"
