837: Episode 39, Five Emperors of Qin City, Chapter 267, The Wise Light Tower Master (Part 1) 837: Episode 39, Five Emperors of Qin City, Chapter 267, The Wise Light Tower Master (Part 1) The six Tower Masters of Faran approached Ye Yinzhu after he had killed Sloan and retrieved the Soul Bead.
The Light Tower Master, Aubrey, said to Ye Yinzhu, “Zither Emperor, thank you for helping us kill the traitor of Faran, but I think it’s time to resolve the issues between us.”
Ye Yinzhu’s response was just six simple words, “If you want to fight, then let’s fight.”
“No, Zither Emperor, I think you’ve misunderstood,” said the Light Tower Master, Aubrey with a slight smile, looking at Ye Yinzhu gently.
“I just want to talk to you.”
Ye Yinzhu coldly swept a glance over the remnants and the new forces of Faran and said indifferently, “What is there left to talk about?”
Aubrey spoke earnestly, “I deeply regret everything that has happened before.
I only learned the truth of the matter after the rescue of Marina, along with the other Tower Masters.
The reason Faran attacked Qin City was largely due to being misled by Sloan.
However, Sloan was after all from Faran, and now that he’s dead by your hand, there must be an explanation.
Therefore, I hope we can talk calmly.
I think, even if Faran were to continue the attack on Qin City, allowing you a chance to regroup would not be disadvantageous to Qin City, would it?”
Before Ye Yinzhu could speak, Aubrey turned slowly and nodded towards the other five Tower Masters.
Led by them, Faran’s Twelve Legions began to slowly withdraw, gradually fading into the distance.
In front of Ye Yinzhu, only Light Tower Master Aubrey and his disciple, the Saintess of Light, Marina, remained.
“I hope this proves our sincerity,” said Aubrey, with a constant smile on his face, his gaze calm and peaceful.
It was hard to discern any emotion from his clear and deep eyes.
Just then, a phantom-like figure swiftly arrived behind Ye Yinzhu.
Seeing Ye Yinzhu confronting Master and disciple Aubrey, she was obviously startled and quickly closed in on Ye Yinzhu.
Strangely, Ye Yinzhu showed no reaction, as if he didn’t sense her approach at all.
“Yin Zhu, are you alright?” As soon as Sura made contact with Ye Yinzhu, her hands instinctively pressed on his back, transferring a pure stream of Douqi into his body.
Feeling the warmth of his wife’s palm, Ye Yinzhu’s tense spirit finally relaxed a little, pulling Sura to his side.
“I’m alright.
Sloan is dead,” he said while pointing to Sloan’s body on the ground.
The moment the words fell, Ye Yinzhu felt Sura’s body tremble violently, her gaze immediately falling upon the mangled corpse on the ground.
To Sura, the name Sloan bore too much significance in her life.
Once, this man had led her out of misery and away from the Landias Palace.
Once, he had taught her Douqi, granting her great strength.
Yet, it was also this man who had once deprived her of her life.
Even Sura herself was unsure what she should feel towards Sloan.
After a short silence, Sura’s face paled slightly as she whispered, “Yin Zhu, may I bury him?
A teacher for a day is a father for life.
No matter how he treated me in the past, he was after all my teacher.
Without him, perhaps we would never have met, or maybe I would have died long ago in Landias.”
Death extinguishes a person like a blown-out candle, ending all troubles.
Ye Yinzhu understood Sura’s feelings at that moment and nodded, saying, “Go ahead.
Don’t worry, with us here, everything will be alright.”
Sura looked up at Light Tower Master Aubrey and the Saintess of Light, Marina, across from her and bowed slowly, showing her respect.
After all, she too had once been a part of Faran.
Aubrey smiled faintly and spoke, “I heard you two were married, I haven’t had the chance to congratulate you yet.
Sura, you’ve found a good husband.”
“Thank you, Master Aubrey,” Sura said, nodding slightly toward Aubrey, then went to Sloan’s side.
Without concern for the filth of his corpse, she picked up her former teacher from the ground.
“Sura, let me go with you,” Marina said as she walked up to Sura’s side.
Watching Marina’s kind smile, Sura nodded and walked with her toward the outside of Qin City.
She chose not to bury Sloan inside the Burna Mountain Range, considering the hostile stance between them and the various things Sloan had done in the past; she couldn’t let his body defile Qin City.
Sura set her sights on a small grove not far from the outside of the city.
It was a quiet place with a peaceful environment.
Sloan was dead.
With his betrayal of Faran and the killing of his master, these two grave crimes made it impossible for him to be buried back in Faran.
The grove was the only option.
With Marina acpanying Sura, Ye Yinzhu wasn’t particularly worried.
Given Sura’s strength at the moment, coupled with the assassin’s belief in the Sigh of God, Marina was unlikely to harm him.
At this time, on Faran’s side, only Tower Master Aubrey stood alone in front of Ye Yinzhu.
The gentle Tower Master said, “Zither Emperor, may I have a talk with you now?”
Ye Yinzhu’s gold and silver magic-patterned wings slowly retracted.
From various indications, it seemed that the Tower Master had no ill intentions.
Still, Zi, Glacis, and Ming stood behind him.
Aubrey was more powerful than Sloan, so they had to be cautious.
“What would you like to talk about?” Ye Yinzhu asked casually, “After today’s battle, Qin City and Faran have bee mortal enemies.
Are you trying to convince me to submit to Faran?”
“No, of course not.
Zither Emperor, I think there has been a misunderstanding,” replied Tower Master Aubrey.
Just as Aubrey was about to speak, Ye Yinzhu interjected, “Master Aubrey, please just call me by my name, Ye Yinzhu.”
Aubrey nodded.
“Very well.
I’ve already heard about your situation from Marina.
Since you are the closest disciple of Master Phil Jackson, we are not strangers, and it’s legitimate to talk as equals.
First of all, I would like to express my regret to Qin City for the events of today.
Despite the efforts of myself and a few other Tower Masters using a great deal of Array power, we were unable to prevent the outbreak of this war.
I am deeply regretful about the damage caused to Qin City and sincerely apologize to it.”
As he spoke, Tower Master Aubrey, the absolute top-ranked Light Mage and Holy Sorcerer on the Ryuzakinus Continent, actually bowed slowly towards Ye Yinzhu and in the direction of Qin City, the light in his eyes extremely clear, with no pretense at all.
“Master Aubrey, what do you mean by this?” Ye Yinzhu, somewhat shocked, quickly processed Aubrey’s actions.
In the previous battle, although Qin City suffered losses, the number of wounded was many, but the death toll was far lower than Faran’s.
The six fully-formed Knight Groups of Faran that participated in the fight sustained injuries close to one-third, especially the two Cavalry Corps, which suffered more than two-thirds casualties and deaths.
Yet the Tower Master in front of him did not mention Faran’s losses at all; instead, he apologized to Qin City.
Not to mention anything else, just considering Faran’s status on the Ryuzakinus Continent, the fact that this leader of the Seven Tower Lords was acting in such a manner was something nobody expected.
It was also the first time in history since Faran’s establishment that a high-ranking master personally apologized.
With a sigh, Aubrey said, “Just like you said earlier, the battle has sown deep animosity between Faran and Qin City.
The loss of each other’s warriors is something we cannot easily let go of.
However, I did not want to see this situation.
This time, we came in person in the hope of stopping this war, of preventing the situation where we view each other with enmity.
It’s just that Sloan’s wastage of a great deal of our time on the Demon God Seal on Marina disrupted our original plan.”
Feeling Aubrey’s sincere emotions, Ye Yinzhu sneered inwardly, “Master Aubrey, you don’t have to beat around the bush, just speak plainly.”
Aubrey sighed again and asked, “Ye Yinzhu, do you know the purpose of Faran’s existence?”
Ye Yinzhu answered, “I don’t know about Faran’s purpose, but I know that you have always proclaimed yourselves as the guardian gods of the Ryuzakinus Continent, that you protect this continent and block the Abyssal Plane’s impact at the Faran Seal.”
Aubrey was taken aback for a moment.
Even though Ye Yinzhu’s response was brief, it hit the nail on the head.
Aubrey did not expect Ye Yinzhu to have such a deep understanding of Faran.
However, he soon realized that Ye Yinzhu had once studied with Phil Jackson, so some knowledge about Faran was to be expected.
“It’s not self-proclaimed.
Faran has always performed this role.
Every year, excellent Mages join Faran, and these Mages stay because they are touched by the spirit of Faran, contributing their efforts with many other Mages to strengthen the seal on the Abyssal Plane.
The great war ten thousand years ago already proved how powerful our enemies are.
If the seal is broken, we may face extinction; at that point, not only will humans be destroyed, but all races on the Ryuzakinus Continent will fall.”
Ye Yinzhu spoke, “In your heart, Master Aubrey, Faran may be the greatest, most passionate sacred place.
But in my heart, that is not the case.
I was born in the Eastern Dragon Empire.
You mentioned the great war ten thousand years ago that severely damaged all races.
But who were the main participants in that battle?
It was our ancestors, the Eastern Dragon Empire.
Under the leadership of the Divine Dragon Ancestor, they bore the brunt of the enemy’s pressure.
It was our Divine Dragon Ancestor of the Eastern Dragon who used their life to seal the gateway from the Abyssal Plane to the human world.
However, after Faran was established, what did Faran and the humans of West Dragon do?
You repaid kindness with enmity, taking advantage of our weakened Eastern Dragon, you destroyed our nation.
Do you think this is also an expression of Faran’s passion?” (To be continued.
