Bulwark of Light

Chapter 998 Stepping on the Red Lake (First update!)

Starlight fell on the streets and alleys of Guangming City.

The parade crowd looked up at this rare starry night. Su Ye's forehead was covered with sweat. He skimmed over the eaves of Guangming City and ran towards the "secret prison" at the fastest speed.

The moment the conversation between the two in Chengnan ended, Gu Nanfeng disappeared without a trace.

When he arrived at the secret prison, Lan Qie had cut a narrow gap in the [Holy Light Barrier]... The heavy armor servant at the entrance of the secret prison had already been knocked down.

The two heavy doors of the secret prison were smashed to pieces.

Su Ye stood silently in front of the secret prison, he knew that there was no need to continue checking here...

After a while, he came to a dark alley.

The wind blew with a fishy smell.

A thin body was lying on the wheelchair, the skirt was torn, and the flesh and blood under the skirt was also shredded.

Yao Jin is dead.

On both sides of the stone walls in the alley, the hot blood has been blown cold by the wind.

Su Ye's back also felt a chill.

He has no sympathy or compassion for this "colleague" who grew up with him since childhood.

But what really scares him...

It was the extreme speed displayed by Gu Nanfeng!

In Xizhou Realm, he met several transcendents with [Lanqie] ability, and he knew that the speed buff brought by this ability is very good... But he never imagined that Gu Nanfeng's speed would be so fast as his own many.

"You are late, and more than one step late."

A leisurely and lazy voice sounded at the end of the alley.

Someone has been waiting here for a long time.

Su Ye suddenly raised his head, staring at the end of the darkness with a gloomy expression.

There was a wind blowing there, bringing scattered fallen leaves and flapping against the wall of the dry alley, and a man with a wooden knife in his arms slowly walked out of the darkness.

Su Ye was sure that there was no one at the end of the alley.

But when the wind came, the man also came.

Gu Nanfeng said lightly: "Don't worry, I'm not here to kill you... I just hope you don't return to the Red Lake so quickly. If you are willing to chat with me here for a while, then I won't use the knife. "

Su Ye gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Have you thought about the consequences when you were robbed in Guangming City?"

"Consequences? Do you mean the anger of the God of Light? This is indeed a very serious consequence..."

Gu Nanfeng thought for a while and asked, "But if he doesn't want me to rescue Meng Xizhou, then how can I rescue her?"

Su Ye was stunned.

"Everything that happens in God's Domain is acquiesced by God Throne."

Gu Nanfeng said calmly: "If he doesn't want to, I can't. The worst consequence in my mind is nothing more than failure to rob the prison... But looking at it now, he doesn't seem to care about the secret prison."

"Besides, he doesn't seem to care about Yao Jin either."

Gu Nanfeng glanced at the lonely blood-stained wheelchair at the entrance of the alley.

Holding the wooden knife, he asked with a smile, "Maybe...he doesn't care about you?"

The chill in Su Ye's heart was even worse.

The secret prison has been robbed, and Meng Xizhou has probably gone to the Red Lake now, which is why Gu Nanfeng stopped him here...

There was such a commotion in the secret prison that neither Jia Wei nor the Great Elder had any news.

Obviously, there was an accident on the Red Lake side.

He turned around and wanted to leave, but the long wind carrying the broken leaves swept through the streets, and Gu Nanfeng, holding a wooden knife, appeared in front of Su Ye.

A fiery golden awn ignited in Su Ye's eyes.

He expanded the domain and flew quickly.

But no matter where he goes, there will always be a gust of wind, and the ghost will linger, starting one step slower than him, and arriving one step faster.

Wherever he landed, Gu Nanfeng would land there.

Wherever he went, Gu Nanfeng would stop him there.

……

……

On the surface of the Red Lake, there is sparkling light, and the stars are shining on the zenith.

Gu Shen stood on the surface of the lake where the stars were turbulent, stretched out his finger, and pointed to the thick fog deep in the dark night of the Red Lake.

"I want to go there and have a look."

Of course, this sentence was said to Batu.

Now in the temple, only Batu is left who can speak.

"What happened in Guangming City tonight should be worth the sum of the past few years..."

Gu Shen said seriously: "Before so many people gather in the Temple of Light, isn't the Master of the God of Light planning to show up? Everyone should want to see the real 'Brightness'. If the Lord of God is safe, even if he does not show up, say It should be possible to say a few words and convey a few strands of will, right?"

At this time, this scene is quite "familiar".

Standing by the Red Lake, the Gu family mission, the night watchmen, and the extraordinary people from Dongzhou all looked in a daze.

During the period when Mr. Gu Changzhi was asleep.

Dongzhou has also been criticized like this... What Gu Shen is saying now is what Dongzhou often heard back then.

"..."

Batu's forehead kept dripping with cold sweat. In just a few minutes, it seemed as long as a century. He sent countless messages to the First Elder and Su Ye, but he didn't get a single reply.

The current image of Red Lake can be seen all over the world.

He has never experienced this kind of occasion, and he has no way to control it.

After thinking about it, he could only give a vague response: "Sorry, you can't go."

"why?"

Gu Shen wasn't angry or in a hurry, he just stood on the surface of the Red Lake and said with a light smile, "I remember the temple said earlier that standing on the surface of the Red Lake is the approval of the will of light. .I can now stand on the Red Lake, which means that the "Bright Faith" has recognized me. Is it because I killed Jia Wei that I can't step on the lake?"

of course!
The veins on Batu's forehead bulged.

If he didn't have the recording of [Deep Sea], if he could beat him, he would want to tear Gu Shen to pieces right now.

But there are not so many ifs in the real world.

"of course not……"

Batu gritted his teeth and said: "The end of the Red Lake is the place where Lord Guangming's seat cleans up. If you want to step on the lake, you must follow the rules. You have never passed the 'Trial of Xixin Pool' and the 'Dream of Fire Seed' in Xizhou. ...According to this rule, you are not allowed to step into the Red Lake."

There was a pause.

"The previous battle was an exception."

Batu said: "Now the grievances between you and Master Jia Wei have been settled, and this battle is over! Gu Shen, according to the rules of the temple, if you are not invited by the will of Lord Guangming, you must not enter the Queen of the Red Lake." Halfway, disturb the purity of Lord God!"

After saying this, the tight string in Batu's heart loosened a little.

He knew that Gu Shen wanted to go, but he couldn't stop him...

But there are thousands of pairs of eyes staring at this moment, so he moved out of the rules of the Temple of Light.

Reasonable.

If Gu Shen wanted to force his way into the Red Lake, he would have violated the rules first, and the "justice" represented by these tens of thousands of eyes would be on the side of Guangming City.

"I see."

Gu Shen nodded and continued to ask: "So, as long as you comply with the rules of the temple, you can step on the lake, right?"

"……certainly."

Batu frowned and responded subconsciously.

There is nothing wrong with this response.

But in the next second, at the end of the Red Lake crowd, there was a very soft and soft voice.

"In that case..."

"I should be able to set foot on this red lake, right?"

The crowd turned around in amazement, the starlight lingered and fell into the dust, and all of them fell on a woman.

The man's expression was still tired and dusty, and his body was stained with some dark, damp and muddy breath.

But it doesn't hinder her, as soon as she appears, it is the gathering of all the radiance in this world.

"Master Goddess!"

A holy inquisitor exclaimed and hurriedly bowed and knelt down.

"Master Goddess!"

Exclamations sounded one after another, and the holy inquisitors behind the Red Lake saluted one after another. They always thought that the Goddess was at the end of the Red Lake, serving the God of Light...

After all, there are only a few people in the temple who know the real whereabouts of the secret prison and Meng Xizhou.

In the eyes of the outside world, the same is true.

After Meng Xizhou appeared, the crowd slammed out of the way.

The faces of the Gu family mission and the night watchmen were surprised at first, and then joyful... Luo Yu and Zhong Fan looked at each other, sweating from the bottom of their hearts, and finally relaxed at this moment.

The young lord has succeeded in robbing the prison!
Batu looked at the place where the bright starlight fell, his mind went blank, and finally he could only force out a greeting: "Master Goddess...why are you here?"

After finishing speaking, Batu regretted it.

This greeting is actually pretty bad.

The Goddess has been imprisoned in a secret prison, a secret known only to the higher-ups of the temple...Of course Batu also knows it.

Seeing Meng Xizhou, he understood why Su Ye didn't reply to his message.

Obviously the secret prison has been lost, neither Yao Jin nor Su Ye have made a mistake.

What Batu is most worried about now is that what the Temple of Light did to the goddess will be revealed tonight.

But fortunately.

Meng Xizhou just said four words lightly.

"Quiet and thoughtful."

These four words are the last face she left to this city of light, this temple.

Batu's eyes were complicated, he saluted slowly, and said, "You... want to step on the lake too?"

Meng Xizhou moved forward slowly and came to the shore of the Red Lake.

She glanced at Gu Shen and nodded her head slightly to express her gratitude. Gu Nanfeng rescued her from the secret prison, and she already knew what happened before and after this "robbing the prison".

Gu Shen just smiled lightly.

it is more than words.

He met the Goddess of Light once. At that time, his spiritual realm was still weak, and just looking at each other, the Pluto Fire Seed almost escaped his control.

But now, it is different.

Gu Shen re-examined the goddess of light in front of him. After being imprisoned in a deep prison for six years, the light aura on Meng Xizhou's body was much weaker——

Obviously, the divine favor on her body disappeared.

"When I was six years old, I passed the 'Trial of Heartwashing Pool'. When I was 15 years old, I successfully smelted the 'Dream of Fire Seed'."

Meng Xizhou's voice echoed by the Red Lake.

This sentence is for Batu, and it is also for everyone.

The temple can list countless rules that people who set foot on the Red Lake need to have.

But Meng Xizhou complied with every one of them.

Because she is a goddess appointed by the throne, she is born to be incomparably compatible with "brightness". If she is not qualified to set foot on this red lake, then who else has it?

"Now... I want to set foot on this red lake."

Meng Xizhou spoke very seriously. Her tone was not asking for opinions, but a statement: "I want to see Lord God."

"..."

Batu really wanted to refuse, but he couldn't think of a reason to continue to refuse.

Moreover, he had no time to refuse.

Because after Meng Xizhou finished speaking, he took steps and set foot on the surface of the Red Lake.

"Buzz!"

The moment her toes touched the lake water, the lake water, which seemed dull and dull under the starry night, instantly brightened up. Thousands of lights rushed out from the bottom of the lake and swept into her snow-white skin. A divine garment woven with bright ribbons, the entire Red Lake became brighter because of her appearance.

Her complexion was no longer pale, and her eyes became solemn and sacred.

Even without God.

She is still the darling of the light.
