Chapter 258: Catching Up
Luo Ning transformed into the form of a demon hunter, waved his wings to the red-faced man's ear, and whispered in an extremely polite tone: "Contemptible people are good at soul searching! This is one of the masterpieces of contemptible people!"
The red-faced man saw a flash of blue light in front of him, and a half-meter-sized soul body suddenly appeared. The red-faced man could vaguely see that the blurred face that was extremely distorted by pain turned out to be the famous Demon Armor Star Zeppelin!!
"Mr. Zeppelin?!!" The red-faced man suddenly changed his face when he saw the painful appearance of Zeppelin's soul. After struggling for a moment, he sighed softly and said listlessly: "You came to the Star Hall Headquarters just to kill people or seize treasures! Then it is not difficult to guess the two issues you are most concerned about! Don't worry, several Star Hall Heavenly Kings are not in the headquarters at the moment, and the only ones who remain are intermediate members who have just been qualified to enter the headquarters. And with your skills, the various magic mechanisms inside can't stop you at all!"
Luo Ning raised his eyebrows and said with interest: "You are a smart person, you actually guessed my first question." That's right, I was just about to ask you how many masters are left in the Star Hall Headquarters!"
The red-faced man continued: "You have to promise me a condition for this second question before I can answer it truthfully. Otherwise, you will never get what you want without my help!"
The more Luo Ning listened, the more interesting he became: "You haven't heard me talk about your own problem, and you actually put forward the conditions first? Hehe, aren't you afraid that I will turn my face and deny people after getting the answer, and violate the agreement with you?"
The red-faced man gave him a blank look: "I have been guarding the outer layer of the Star Hall Headquarters for more than thirty years, what kind of young man has never seen it! People like you often become arrogant because of their superior strength. As long as you feel that your strength is far superior to mine, you will never be embarrassed by me for no reason. In your heart, a mortal like me is just an ant that can be pinched to death at any time!"
Luo Ning restrained his smile and shook his head, "You are wrong this time! I just think that everyone in the Star Hall and I have their own positions. No matter how much I hate what you do, as long as you don't get in my way, I don't want to get out of my way. So just ask, and if your conditions don't get in the way of my purpose, I'm willing to make a deal with you!"
The red-faced man breathed a sigh of relief and calmly said his request: "I beg you, if those mid-level members in the Star Hall Headquarters who are not strong do not take the initiative to attack you, please let them go! In exchange, I am willing to tell you the only secret to obtaining a certain treasure!"
Luo Ning frowned and looked at the red-faced man with interest. This guy doesn't seem to have anything special except that he has more meat on his face than himself. But......
"Why do you want to do such a thankless job?! Even if they survive, no one will know that it is thanks to you, and no one will thank you?!"
"I hope to save a little hope for the Star Temple!" the red-faced man said bluntly.
"It's been more than forty years since I joined the Star Temple! In the past forty years, I have felt that the Star Gods and those Heavenly Kings have become more and more dangerous, and many times I even think that they are taking the lives and souls of all the middle and low-level members to carry out an unknown conspiracy and gamble! I only hope that the Star Temple will continue forever!!"
Luo Ning said coldly: "Maybe you still don't know what kind of cruel and terrible atrocities the Star Temple has done in history! As long as the Star Temple still exists, thousands of innocent people on the Lost Continent will be shrouded in the cloud of death!"
The red-faced man's face was expressionless, but his gaze was firm and sharp, like two blades: "Maybe you haven't noticed: the Star Temple is an ancient organization with a history of more than a thousand years! Since his establishment, for more than 800 years, the Star Temple has been located in the shadows, living in seclusion in the mortal realm of the world!"
In those days, we didn't have any conspiracy, nor did we have any malice, we just simply believed in the star gods, but we were used as a tool to divert contradictions by the king of the human kingdom more than once! Our forbearance was exchanged for countless sacrifices! Our resistance was exchanged for the infamy of demons and murderers! This is unfair!!"
Luo Ning took a deep breath, and the records about the Star Hall in dozens of historical classics flashed in his mind, and suddenly found that in all the chapters about the Star Temple, without exception, there was no reference to the root cause of the Star Palace's chaos!!
Power, wealth, or twisted desires, no one knows why they are enemies of the human kingdom, only the world: the Star Temple is a heinous, demonic and mysterious organization!!
Luo Ning shook his head, trying to drive the distracting thoughts that made him shake out of his mind. At this time, Fanya suddenly asked, "But how can we explain the massacre in Jinshui City? I saw thousands of corpses lying in the streets and alleys with my own eyes! If you are innocent, then what about them?
The red-faced man didn't avoid Fanya's gaze, and replied word by word, "That's wrong!!Everything that the Star God and several Heavenly Kings are planning is wrong!!And that's why I used that secret to make a deal with you!!"
Luo Ning was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
The red-faced man's lips were in production, obviously giving rise to a lot of anger: "When I first joined the Star Palace, the Star Hall was not as shaky as it is now. At that time, several Heavenly Kings also taught us to do our own things well, to believe in the Star God wholeheartedly, to exercise our strength and will, and to guard our own avenue!"
"Dao, hmph, is your Heavenly King from Dongxian Island?"
"There is indeed a Heavenly King from Dongxian Island. At first, I didn't understand the meaning of the Great Dao, and even thought it was some kind of secret art. It wasn't until the Heavenly King later said: "Where your heart desires, is the Great Dao!" The wish in your heart is the end of everything you have to do for it! And the Great Dao of all the people in our Star Hall is to protect the Divine Stone under the World Tree, and prevent the enemy of the Star God, the Outer Heaven Demon, from invading the Lost Continent!!"
But he soon noticed a hint of something unusual. The moment each undead creature fell, a thin gray line would stretch out from the poison cloud like lightning. At this moment, another undead creature fell into the poisonous cloud, and this time the purple-robed man could see clearly: the blurred gray line was clearly a slender tongue!!
"Anne, hmph, she's just a wild seed, she doesn't deserve to be treated like this! Over the years, if I hadn't hoped that this little slut would have become my political bargaining chip, I would have sent him to meet her slut mother! She was so bold to deceive me?!! dared to betray me, and since the matter had come to this, I would not only kill her, but also let her daughter die a tragic death with hatred!!"
