Chapter 121: Choice
The high priest looked at them deeply, but did not speak. Luo Banxia pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Although our skills are not as good as others, but no matter what, our friends still have to be saved, how can you be willing to let people go?"
The High Priest smiled, the wrinkles on his face were entangled, and he said in a gentle tone, "It's very simple, just let the goddess come to see me. 」
"What?" Luo Banxia and Yun'e were both taken aback, Luo Banxia's thoughts were racing, and a figure appeared in his mind, and he said word by word: "The goddess you are talking about, but ......."
"That's right, the girl you're walking with. The High Priest's voice was faint, but there was an undeniable majesty in it.
Yun E's eyebrows furrowed, and she blurted out, "How can she be a goddess, and her abilities don't match the legend of the goddess." 」
"Being able to absorb the power of thunder and lightning, and being able to see the sun under the layers of dark clouds in Mirror Mountain, this is not what a goddess can be. The high priest seemed to anticipate this reaction and patiently explained, "What you don't know is that some of the powers of the goddess are innate, and some of them need to be stimulated, and I can tell you with great certainty that the woman who is with you is the goddess. 」
Luo Banxia recovered from his surprise and said, "You want to see the goddess, but I don't know what you want to see her?" As friends of Wan Ning, the two of them naturally need to understand the purpose of the high priest.
The high priest suddenly sighed lowly, with a rare lonely expression on his face, "The thunderstorm in the Mirror Mountain is coming, and only the goddess can save us." 」
"Hasn't the goddess always lived in the Heavenly Fire Altar? We've heard people say that decades ago, the goddess herself helped to relieve the thunder disease. Luo Banxia continued to ask.
"As you know, that was decades ago...... "The High Priest said slowly, "there is always birth, old age, sickness and death, and no matter how powerful a person is, he cannot resist the passage of time. The goddess had already flaited three months ago, and that friend of yours must have suddenly gained divine power three months ago. 」
Luo Banxia and Yun'e glanced at each other, and they already believed a little in their hearts.
"It was because of the death of the previous goddess that the power of the goddess in your friend's body was stimulated, and she also gained those strange abilities. For the past few months, we have been looking for traces of the new goddess, and it is only recently that we have been able to find you through these channels until the recent incidents of divine doctors saving people in Cloud Thunder City. 」
"Then you can explain your intentions openly, why do you want to do these sneak attacks and plunder?" Yun'e's voice is still cold, and in front of outsiders, she always looks like she is rejecting people thousands of miles away.
The high priest laughed, "It's not that I'm afraid that you won't come, if it weren't for the urgency of time, the old man wouldn't have made such a decision. 」
Luo Banxia pondered for a long time before he said slowly, "Then judging from the current situation, it is impossible for you to let Mu Yan go?"
"That's right. I know what you're worried about, but rest assured, we won't hurt the goddess in the slightest. So please go back and convey the old man's meaning to the goddess, and I will give her a day to let her come to see me. The High Priest's eyes glistened, and there was no room for change in his tone.
"What if we don't come?" Yun'e said coldly.
The High Priest also snorted coldly, "If you don't come, then this friend of yours now will die. The matter is urgent, this is also a helpless move, I hope the two of you can think twice. And ......" the high priest's momentum surged, "In this mirror mountain, there is no one I can't find, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I can capture you, it just takes a little more time." 」
"You're ......!" Yun'e's face was ugly, and she wanted to have a seizure.
Luo Banxia grabbed her and whispered in her ear, "Don't be impulsive, we are not his opponents, go back first and then think about it in the long run." 」
With Luo Banxia's persuasion, Yun'e also calmed down a little. At that moment, he nodded to Luo Banxia, and with a bang, the Guiying Sword rose out of thin air, and with a flash of white light, Yun'e's figure disappeared into the night.
Luo Banxia hugged his fist towards the high priest, and also raised the sword to return to the dust. The Great Sacrifice
Si smiled and quietly watched in the direction the two of them left, and did not stop him.
After a long time, the messengers of the left and right altars slowly approached, and the messengers of the left altar whispered to the high priest, "High priest, shall we just let them go?"
The high priest waved his hand, his face returned to the expression of Gujing Wubo, and said slowly, "Let them go. The two of them are profound, and if they are determined to leave, no one here can stop them. 」
The night was dark, and there were no stars or moons. The night in Cloud Thunder City is still generally quiet and peaceful, but I don't know what kind of undercurrent is flowing under this surface tranquility.
In an inconspicuous inn on the southern edge of the city, Wan Ning was anxiously pacing back and forth, Luo Banxia and Yun'e had been out for a few hours, but there was still no sign of returning. A few times, Wan Ning even wanted to rush to the Heavenly Fire Altar by herself to see what the situation was like now. But in the end, she still remembered Luo Banxia's words and waited obediently in the inn.
There was a sound of breaking the sky, the window fanned lightly a few times, and as soon as Wan Ning's eyes broke, Luo Banxia and Yun'e appeared in the house together. Seeing the two returning, Wan Ning was first overjoyed, and then she couldn't help but be stunned again when she didn't see Mu Yan's figure, and hurriedly asked, "How is it, have you been rescued?"
Luo Banxia shook his head and said slowly, "I'm sorry, the Heavenly Fire Altar is strong, we are not opponents, this rescue was not successful. 」
Wan Ning was like being hit by five thunderbolts, and sat down on the chair, her face gloomy. Luo Banxia comforted: "But don't worry, the information we have received so far is that Mu Yan is still safe for the time being, and there is no need to worry about his life. After a pause, he added, "And we visited the Heavenly Fire Altar at night this time, and we also got a piece of news about you......
Wan Ning was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously, "About me?"
"Yes. Luo Banxia said slowly, "I think it's necessary to tell you, as for how to choose, it's up to you to decide. 」
Luo Banxia and Yun'e had serious faces, and Wan Ning also sensed that this matter should be extraordinary, and immediately said, "I'll listen, you can say it. 」
Luo Banxia's voice was faint, and he recounted the information he learned tonight to Wan Ning. In the end, Luo Banxia said softly: "That's the situation, the high priest said that you are a goddess, I hope you can go and talk to him, as long as you are willing to go, he will let Mu Yan go. 」
Listening to Luo Banxia's narration, Wan Ning felt shocked and inexplicable at first, but gradually she was immersed in her thoughts, calmed down and didn't say a word, her face was full of mixed feelings, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
It turns out that this is how I got a series of abilities, and I really didn't expect this familiar and unfamiliar word to fall on my head one day.
Everyone didn't speak, and the scene fell into calm for a while, and after a while, Wan Ning suddenly whispered, "I'll go to the Heavenly Fire Altar with you tomorrow morning. 」
"Have you thought about it, there are many masters in the Heavenly Fire Altar, and the high priest is even more boundless, we are not its opponents, if they want to have any evil intentions, it is estimated that it will be difficult for us to protect you. 」
In fact, Wan Ning would make this decision Luo Banxia was not surprised at all, on the way back, he had already done a fierce ideological struggle in his heart, whether he should tell Wan Ning about tonight's events. He knew that Wan Ning would not sit idly by, and he and Yun'e had no chance of winning against the high priest, this was likely to be a fatal situation. But in the end, Luo Banxia still chose to tell the truth, no matter what choice was made, it was Wanning's right.
Even if Wan Ning really chooses to disappear and not be found by the Heavenly Fire Altar, Luo Banxia and Yun'e will find ways to continue to save Mu Yan.
"I've made a decision. Wan Ning said firmly, "No matter what the situation, I will save him. And I'd like to see what the high priest will say to me. 」
Luo Banxia and Yun E nodded together, since Wan Ning decided to go to the Heavenly Fire Altar, then whether it was the Sword Mountain or the Sea of Fire, they had to break into him like that.
The three of them discussed some more details, and then went back to their rooms to rest. Early the next morning, between the two streamers, the three of them came to the mountain gate of the Heavenly Fire Altar.
The Heavenly Fire Altar is still so majestic and magnificent, the Heavenly Gate made of white jade, and the steps made of Lei Jing all exude a faint glow in the early morning. Today's guards at the mountain gate are no longer the two priests last night, but the other six people, at this time, seeing Luo Banxia and the other three approaching, a priest immediately stepped forward and raised his hand to stop him, and at the same time said lightly: "The Heavenly Fire Altar is heavy, please report your name if you come." 」
Wan Ning bowed to everyone and made her intention clear: "I am Wan Ning, I have been invited by the high priest to come here, and I am tired of the Lord to help me report it. 」
When the man heard the three words of the high priest, a respectful look immediately appeared in his eyes, and he didn't say anything, but walked away quickly, obviously someone had already explained it beforehand. After waiting for about half an hour, the priest hurried back and whispered softly to Evening Lemon, "Girl, please come with me. At the same time, he made a gesture of please, and his attitude was much better than before.
Luo Banxia and Yun'e hurriedly followed, the priest glanced at the two of them, stretched out his hand to stop the two, and said, "The high priest has an order, only let Miss Wanning go alone, and the other idle people please wait here." 」
Luo Banxia's brows were furrowed, and the momentum on his body increased, and he wanted to attack. In the Heavenly Fire Altar, the other party's territory, Wan Ning is a weak woman with no combat effectiveness, and the danger can be imagined. The surrounding priests saw Luo Banxia's intentions, and they also lit up with purple-red electric light, seeing that a big battle was about to break out.
Wan Ning hurriedly grabbed Luo Banxia, smiled slightly and said, "Brother Luo, it's okay, I'll go alone, you and Sister Yun'e will wait for me here for a while." 」
Luo Banxia said categorically, "No, it's too dangerous here, I have to ensure your safety. 」
"Brother Luo, I know your intentions, but I'm really okay alone, you just believe me once, okay......" Wan Ning's eyes already had a look of begging.
Looking at Wan Ning's appearance, Luo Banxia hesitated and didn't speak for a while. Yun'e stepped forward and whispered to Luo Banxia, "Since Wan Ning has already made a decision, we just need to respect her. 」
Luo Banxia sighed and slowly closed his eyes, which was considered a tacit acquiescence. Wan Ling smiled, like a hundred flowers blooming in spring, and said to the priest who led the way, "Let's go. 」
The priest was behind Wan Ning, and the two of them walked towards the top of Lei Jing's steps together, Luo Banxia and Yun E waited quietly in front of the mountain gate, until Wan Ning's figure disappeared from sight, Luo Banxia shook his head and let out a wry smile helplessly.
