Bulwark of Light

Chapter 981 The Wind Stops (Ask for a Monthly Ticket!)
"got windy?"

"Is there?"

Su Ye pushed the wheelchair, Yao Jin looked back to the direction where the secret prison came from, the enchantment and mechanism had been opened, and only a dark and deep place could be seen there.

Yao Jin deliberately didn't close it again.

He was waiting for Gu Nanfeng's arrival...but the wind he was expecting did not appear.

A very weak wind came from the direction of the end of the secret prison, Yao Jin's eyes were a little confused, he didn't understand why there was wind there.

But soon he understood.

This is the wind caused by someone running. The [Heavy Armored Servant] in the secret prison seldom moves around, and the sound of these footsteps makes him feel very flustered.

What's going on inside?
A few seconds later, a [Heavy Armored Servant] ran over in a panic. This [Heavy Armored Servant] was startled when he saw Su Ye Shengzi.

This is a secret prison, not a temple.

[Heavy Armored Servant] The direct superior is Yao Jin, not Su Ye.

So he thought for a second, and turned his eyes back to Yao Jin. The [Heavy Armored Attendant] stood still silently, and anxiously sent out a wisp of divine thought, telling him all about the situation in the secret prison.

"..."

Yao Jin sat in the wheelchair silently, and he sighed softly after hearing the news.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the secret prison was silent and terrifying.

"Ok?"

Su Ye noticed the abnormality of this [Heavy Armored Servant], but he was more interested in Yao Jin's sudden silence. There must have been a spiritual communication between the two just now.

Since I deliberately avoided myself.

Then there is nothing to ask.

Just look at what's going on inside.

Su Ye quickened his pace.

The [Heavy Armored Servant] wanted to stop him, but Yao Jin stopped him with his eyes. This last section of the secret prison road was long and short. Su Ye walked quickly in the darkness, with lights and flames continuously burning on both sides, shining in the dark darkness secret path.

There were also bursts of uneasiness in his heart.

finally.

The heavy door of the last secret cell opened.

Two black and silver sealed prisons are next to each other, one of the prison cells is tightly closed, and the other one has its door open...

Su Ye stared blankly at the cell in the unblocked state.

It was faintly visible there, a withered and decayed figure sitting on the ground, no longer breathing.

The bright red blood flowed out along the ground.

The whole world seemed to be engulfed in darkness.

……

……

Jia Wei, who was sitting in the Red Lake for meditation, suddenly opened his eyes.

He has been waiting for news from the secret prison today.

Now, he waited.

But it was not "someone invaded", but... the second elder, Yuan Yang, committed suicide in the Black Silver Prison.

Yuan Yang has a high status in the temple.

He is the junior brother of the Great Elder. He has served the Divine Throne in Guangming City for more than [-] years. He has experienced more than half a century of changes. Although he is old, he is still in a high position.

he died.

The entire Bright City will shake!
The person in charge of guarding Yuan Yang is Yao Jin. According to the original plan...Yuan Yang entered the secret prison to perform a "bitter trick" to gain Meng Xizhou's trust, and try to get the whereabouts of the [Holy Book] as much as possible. If it fails, there shouldn't be any damage.

But it's only been a few days, and he died? !

The news of Yuan Yang's death spread out of the secret prison, and spread to all directions in the entire Guangming City in an instant.

Every elder in the temple, the Holy Inquisitor, knew the news...

Including the Great Elder.

……

……

This heart-washing pool trial has come to the most important moment.

Song Ci finally entered the "Dream of Brightness".

The Great Elder led the catastrophes at the bottom of the Xinxin Pool, ready to condense his figure, and try Song Ci's depth in this dream of nothingness.

But at the moment when his mind was concentrated.

[Deep Sea] passed on what happened in the secret prison to his heart lake.

this moment.

The Great Elder's mind suddenly trembled.

He could no longer concentrate, and he withdrew from the barrier, looking in the direction of the secret prison.

"Yuan Yang... is dead?"

the other side.

Song Ci, who was standing on the Bright Golden Bridge, was ready to fight against the shadow in the black mist... But suddenly, a gust of wind blew past, and the jet-black shadow shrouded in mist instantly dissipated completely.

"What's going on, ominous...disappeared?"

Song Ci was a little confused.

His expression was extremely dignified, he did not act rashly, and still stayed in this dream to prevent ominous attacks at any time.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement.

Song Ci didn't dare to move on until he was sure that the uneasy "calamity breath" had completely disappeared. He never expected that this trial dream was extremely simple. He walked along the golden bridge all the way and soon reached the finish line.

At the end of the golden bridge, there is nothing.

This dream of Xinxinchi is not a complete "dream of light".

Because this place is not the real Red Lake.

This is just a simple, man-made red lake... The so-called "heart-washing pool test" is to determine whether the mind of an extraordinary person is pure or not.

The "Xinxin Pool Trial" ended, and Song Ci opened his eyes, looking at the Transcendents who got up and moved around.

He was very slow to complete the Heartwashing Pool trial.

When I looked up, many people had already left this place.

Those who passed the "trial" went to receive the Dream of Tinder together with the Holy Inquisitors who were waiting to serve.

"Young Master Yi."

Song Ci stretched out his hand to stop the nearest Transcendent.

Seeing that Song Ci had woken up, Mr. Yi of the Red Portugal Group wanted to leave quickly, but it was still a step too late.

People of this level can't be beaten, and they can't afford to offend them.

When he was shouted, he could only respond obediently.

Mr. Yi quickly put on a smiling face and said, "Brother Song."

"In your dream, did you see anything strange?" Song Ci frowned, looked at the water in Xixin Pool, and asked earnestly.

"Strange thing?" Mr. Yi hesitated, shook his head and said, "I saw a golden bridge, and when I reached the end, it was considered as the completion of the trial."

Yes... this is the prelude to the dream of light.

Song Ci continued to ask: "After stepping on the golden bridge, didn't you see any strange figures?"

This statement came out.

Mr. Yi's face was a bit strange: "Shadow? You must not have encountered the 'disaster' that the Great Elder said, right?"

"..."

Song Ci stopped talking.

He was sitting alone in front of the heart washing pool. At the beginning of this dream, he thought that these disasters came from himself, but now, it seems that this is not the case.

Once the catastrophe of a transcendent erupts, there is no room for turning around.

Judging from the situation just now, when encountering the "black shadow", there must be a battle.

But in the end, the disaster happened to come, nothing happened, and it dissipated.

"It looks like the 'disaster' contained in the heart washing pool."

He recalled what the Great Elder said earlier, but he still couldn't figure out one thing, if there was a calamity in the Xixin Pool that locked him, why did it suddenly dissipate?

Once this disaster is locked, will it retreat by itself?
"Why do I feel that this 'disaster' seems to be controlled by humans?"

Song Ci narrowed his eyes.

He remembered Gu Shen's reminder that the temple has been looking for [undead] for the past few years, and this time in the heart-washing pool test, the elder will probably attack him.

So... the disaster just now was probably controlled by the Great Elder?

With this in mind, Song Ci began to look for the Great Elder's trace.

Looked around to no avail.

He found a Holy Inquisitor and cut straight to the point: "I want to see the great elder of the temple."

"Sorry, Mr. Song, the Great Elder has already left."

The Holy Inquisitor replied very coldly. Because Song Ci soaked in the Xinxin Pond earlier, the Holy Inquisitors here did not want to talk to him. Now that the trial is over, no one is even willing to take the initiative to take him to receive the Dream of Tinder .

But Song Ci didn't care about the "dream of tinder".

He came to participate in the fire trial in Xizhou to see what tricks the temple was playing.

"Leaving, shouldn't he preside over the whole process of such an important ceremony as the Xinxin Pool Trial? Do you elders have any basic morals? Why can't you find someone at a critical moment?"

Song Ci frowned and asked, "When did he leave?"

"..."

Naturally, there was no response to this inquiry.

The holy judge just stared at Song Ci coldly.

The news of the Second Elder's death has spread inside the temple...

Many people are immersed in grief, but the news has not yet been made public.

Everybody knows.

The First Elder and the Second Elder have a very good relationship. They are brothers who have known each other for most of their lives. After so many years of ups and downs, they crusade against Hades and the Red Emperor together.

Now Elder Yuan Yang is dead.

How could the Great Elder continue to preside over the heart-washing trial?

Song Ci looked at the angry gaze cast on him by the Holy Inquisitor, confused. Finally, an elder came and took him away in person to collect the Dream of Tinder, and this trial was considered to be over.

……

……

The wind stopped.

The silent world became noisy instead.

The deep alley of the secret prison is rarely visited on weekdays.

Today, there are many more figures.

The extremely lively "Sacred Code Parade" is still being held in Guangming City. Those congregants don't know what happened. Some interested people found that several blocks around here were blocked, and a large number of [Heavy Armored Servants] appeared. The deep alley leading to the entrance of the secret prison is even more impenetrable at the moment.

The elders who have a place in the temple have all come here.

They stood silently in the barrier of holy light, looking at the entrance of the dark secret prison, waiting for the final conclusion.

And outside the crowd, in the darkness where the light cannot shine.

There is a faint residual wind, sweeping the fallen leaves and swirling on the ground.

Gu Nanfeng silently watched this scene.

He looked back with a complicated expression, looking at the palm on his shoulder.

Behind him is a deeper darkness.

There was still a figure standing there.

When Gu Nanfeng stretched out his hand, the person standing in the darkness further behind also stretched out his hand, pressing firmly on his shoulder steadily.

"If you choose to break into the secret prison by force, you may have a chance to meet Meng Xizhou...but you will definitely not be able to bring him out."

In the dark shadows, a face of an evil spirit slowly emerged.

The evil ghost's face is very ferocious, but his tone is extremely gentle: "Look at how many people have ushered in the secret prison in the past few minutes?"

There was a slight pause.

The evil ghost smiled and said: "Yao Jin has been waiting for you, as long as you take a step forward...you will be forever."

"..."

Gu Nanfeng could only remain silent.

Because the devil was right.

"I thought you saw his intentions." The evil ghost continued.

"I know he's waiting for me."

Gu Nanfeng said softly: "But I still want to give it a try... I can take hostages."

"You want to kidnap Su Ye and Yao Jin? It's useless, you can't leave the secret prison even if you hold them hostage."

The evil ghost shook his head and said, "Because they are shadows themselves, even if they stand under the light, they still can't change this fact. The meaning of the existence of shadows is that one day they can contribute to the light."

Gu Nanfeng turned his head to look at the dark and eerie ghost mask.

"You... why did you help me?"

He asked seriously, word by word, "Who are you?"
