"..."
Yao Jin, looking sowhat tired, silently gazed at the sight of the Red Lake below the mountain.
A few weeks ago, he thought he was in control of everything.
The wind and grass, all within his grasp.
But now he increasingly felt that he was foolish, completely unable to understand the actions and purpose of the so-called "behind-the-scenes manipulator."
He didn’t understand.
Why did this manipulator, having successfully evaded the temple’s pursuit, intentionally expose himself in the open?
Why did he dare to stand before Jia Wei?
Why?
"You earlier said that this person is the Netherworld King’s Apostle? There shouldn’t be such a foolish Netherworld King’s Apostle in this world."
Batu coldly began: "90% of the temple’s Holy Judges, Heavy Armor Guards, are at the lakeside of Red Lake... I have already mobilized the Cloud Ship, and the remaining elite of the temple will block the surroundings of Light City. I do hope he is the so-called ’Netherworld King’s Apostle,’ for Light City hasn’t killed a wretched soul for a long ti."
"No matter who this person is, he’s dood. Of course... I would rather see him die under the gun of Lord Jia Wei!"
Yao Jin just quietly listened.
"If possible, it’s still better to attack together."
He suddenly asked, "Where is Su Ye Saint?"
Batu paused for a mont, furrowing his brows.
If he rembered correctly, earlier Gu Nanfeng had left the temple, and Su Ye had gone out together with him.
Wait, Su Ye left the temple?
He tried to establish a Spiritual Link with Su Ye, but the result showed failure; logically, the spiritual network of Deep Sea should be unobstructed in Light City.
Yao Jin asked again, "What about the Great Elder?"
Batu was silent once more. If he rembered correctly, the Great Elder should be in the latter part of Red Lake.
That is the temple’s most important secret forbidden area, shrouded by ntal fog all year round, with spiritual power unable to reach; even he couldn’t make contact with the Great Elder.
The sound of a wheelchair turning ca from beside, clattering down the mountain.
"What are you going to do?!"
Batu stared, grabbing Yao Jin’s wheelchair.
"I want to leave Sunset Mountain."
Yao Jin turned back, calmly saying, "Not doing anything else, just going to take a look at the Secret Dungeon."
"Are you crazy?"
Batu angrily said, "Leaving Sunset Mountain is an order from the Great Elder... you are no longer the ’Secret Prison Controller.’"
"Fourth Elder Yin Zhuo and Seventh Elder Long Qi may have already fallen in the Ice Sea. The temple’s Fifth Elder and Sixth Elder are currently still outside preaching."
Yao Jin spoke very slowly, but Batu could not refute: "If you can find a more suitable ’defender’ than , I can stay on Sunset Mountain... I’m not interested in this battle at Red Lake; I just want to ensure the ’Secret Dungeon’ is safe, although my strength is not considered strong in the temple, at least I know every switch inside the Secret Dungeon."
Batu was silent.
Since that mysterious cloaked person appeared, chaos erupted at Red Lake.
He was already having a hard ti commanding the Holy Judges and Heavy Armor Guards, let alone diverting his attention to manage the Secret Dungeon.
"I will go to close the Secret Dungeon, completely locking the entrances and exits, ensuring no one can enter or leave. After doing this, I will return to Sunset Mountain..."
Yao Jin earnestly said, "If you disagree, I will not leave; I will stay here until the chaos ends. Of course, I will report everything that happens here truthfully, and if there is a lapse in the Secret Dungeon, you will also bear the corresponding responsibility."
After a long silence,
Batu gritted his teeth and said, "Make it quick."
...
...
Red Lake lakeside, now the temple’s Holy Judges have taken control of the situation.
The spectators, even those from famous missions, wanted to catch a glimpse of these two from up close.
Out of the smoke and dust, a tall figure clad in Bright Armor gradually stood up.
Jia Wei was ablaze with a fierce light fire.
But... these light fires did not burn through the armor, nor did they cause him harm.
He reached out with his steel hand, patting his shoulder, the strong winds at the Red Lake lakeside blowing the remaining sparks on the armor away, extinguishing them.
Seeing this fla,
He had already guessed the identity of the other.
"Gu Shen..."
His voice was sowhat hoarse, saying, "You are not dead."
This na, echoed above the lakeside of the Red Lake.
Most people’s eyes blurred because of it.
Even though six years had passed...
This na had once resounded across the entire Five Continents, known by everyone.
Until the collapse of Sang Province Cave.
This dazzling genius, who single-handedly propelled the rging of the two continents, East Continent and North Continent, was subrged in the dark tides of the Ice Sea; the Gu Family announced Gu Shen’s death, Changye initiated an investigation team working day and night... East Continent found no cause for Gu Shen’s death, but everyone accepted this tragic fact.
The most radiant star among the younger generation had already fallen.
"Yes, I am still alive."
Gazes fell upon that skeletal figure enveloped in dust and light fire.
The person slowly extended a hand, gently brushing their cheek.
The Ghost Veil was removed.
Gu Shen stood before all the spectators at the lakeside of the Red Lake.
He smiled and said, "Thanks to you, I not only survived but also beca stronger."
He brought two fingers together, casually tearing open.
Countless iron scales flew out from his sleeve.
In the Skytop, a brilliant silver light shone.
The Holy Light barrier enveloping the entire lakeside of the Red Lake was torn apart by a single sword from the Iron Throne; Gu Shen raised his head, and at this mont, he stood before the eyes of millions from the deep water area, Five Continents, and Four Seas.
