Chapter 10: The Night of Yaoguang

Liu Yiyan suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have asked this question. He saw that Gao Xueye was very calm, but he knew that she had not been calm for a long time......

"My parents died under the repression......"

After Gao Xueye finished speaking, Liu Yiyan was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Then why do you still work for the government?"

Gao Xue Ye was silent for a while before she spoke, "Have you heard of the Yaoguang Night 15 years ago?"

"The natural disaster?"

"I almost forgot, in your mind, it was a natural disaster......

"So, it's not?" Liu Yiyan was a little curious again.

"Fifteen years ago, at that time, the system of the Boundary Administration of Country C was not perfect enough, and the level of military science and technology was far inferior to now. A group of Xiuzhen mercenaries from the West, nearly two hundred, quietly infiltrated the territory of country C......"

"Magician?" Liu Yiyan interjected, he had heard of the cultivation world in the West, and it was called a magician in Western countries.

"And knights!" added Gao Xueye.

"How can there be a knight?!" Liu Yiyan said in surprise, "Isn't a knight subordinate to the royal legions of Western countries?

Gao Xueye glanced at Liu Yiyan meaningfully, and sighed: "The world is not what you think, Liu Yiyan, you must know that no matter how weak Country C was at that time, it was also one of the top five powers on the earth, how could there be a mercenary who walked in as if no one was around......"

"Inner ghost ......" Liu Yiyan exclaimed, "So it's not a real mercenary, but a ...... under the banner of mercenaries."

I don't want to talk about it later, but I also know that this is simply a rebellion that should be coordinated with the outside world.

"But this mercenary army just marched to Yunhai City in the great northwest, and was learned by the underground intelligence organization of the government of country C, and the upper echelons of country C were very shocked, and immediately ordered to do two things, one is to gather troops and recruit aspiring cultivators from all over the country, and the other is to immediately investigate who the inner ghost is......"

"And then?" Liu Yiyan heard his interest, but found that Gao Xueye had stopped.

"The army was assembled quickly, but the inner ghost couldn't find any clues for a while...... At the same time, we who were part of the results of the Kingdom of Heaven Project at that time, although we were all in our teens, and even the most were just eleven years old, were also sent to the front line to test the results......"

Liu Yiyan held his breath, he never thought that there were still living people in the night of Yaoguang!!

On the night of Yaoguang, the government has always claimed that it is a natural disaster, because even if it is five or six hundred kilometers away, there are still people who can feel a strong earthquake, so the country declares that it is a major earthquake, but because that night, colorful light flashed over Yunhai City, and Yunhai City is also known as Yaochi City, so that night is also known as Yaoguang Night.

However, how could the earthquake have such a strong light, experts did not give a reasonable explanation, and pulled out a bunch of reasons for what was wrong, and ordinary people bluffed it.

After the "natural disaster", Wanning County in Yunhai City became a ruin, and the government blocked Wanning County and several surrounding villages on the grounds of preventing aftershocks and epidemics, preventing people from entering and leaving, and completely isolating Wanning County......

"What the hell is going on?" asked Liu Yiyan, feeling a hint of unease.

"The army has rebelled...... Gao Xue took a deep breath, but said these words weakly.

"They suddenly turned their guns and slaughtered our Xiuzhen Legion!!" Gao Xue Ye turned his head and said this sentence word by word to Liu Yiyan.

Liu Yiyan cried when he saw Gao Xueye...... Two lines of tears suddenly flowed down her seemingly calm face.

He silently opened the storage compartment, took out a piece of paper, and handed it to Gao Xueye, but saw that the tears on Gao Xueye's face had condensed into ice, and then shattered into fine powder in an instant, falling without a trace, as if it had never appeared. He had no choice but to wipe the cold sweat from his hands silently, and then threw it into the storage compartment.

"Of the 1,392 companions, plus me, there were 1,393 people, and in the end, after a scuffle, only 319 survived...... All the other cultivators, including the mercenaries and the rebellious army, were all killed in battle, and not a single ......one was left behind."

Liu Yiyan was even more shocked! In the case that the other party was a royal legion, plus the army rebelled, their group actually won!!

"490 people chose to burn their lives...... The visible flame of life lit up the entire sky...... So much so that after the war ended, these people didn't even leave dust......" Gao Xueye explained Liu Yiyan's confusion.

Burning out life, a technique that can ignite one's own life force in exchange for a huge amount of power in a short period of time, requires a fairly high understanding of life force to be used, and once the life force is ignited, it cannot be extinguished, and can only be wiped out in great pain, so it has long been included in the list of SSS-level forbidden techniques by the World Boundary Administration.

Under the battle of this intensity, Wanning County has long been a scorched earth, except for the 319 children of the Heavenly Kingdom Project who survived, there is no longer a living person, and there is not a single building that is still intact. The power of the 490 life-burned cultivators was no less than that of a nuclear bomb, allowing the earth to tremble hundreds of kilometers away.

"When I stood on the scorched ground and saw the debris all around me, I finally understood something......

"What's the matter?"

"It is indeed this country that caused the tragedy when we were children, but it is actually this rotten world that causes such a tragedy in this world! I want to change it, I want to use all my strength, I am willing to use all my life! As long as I can alleviate the tragedy of this world...... Even a little bit!" Gao Xue Ye said.

"It's hard to understand...... But I think you're right. Liu Yiyan replied, "Then did you find the inner ghost in the end?"

"Found it...... But what's the use?" Gao Xueye smiled bitterly, "The main culprit is the top of the army, and he actually leaked the plan of the Kingdom of Heaven because of a little petty profit! The governments of the Western countries united to interrupt and destroy the plan of the kingdom of heaven, so they dominated all this! For the sake of such a petty profit, he betrayed the country and sold so many lives!!"

Gao Xueye couldn't hide her emotions calmly anymore, and finally roared.

"I'm sorry...... I shouldn't have asked so much......" Liu Yiyan looked at Gao Xueye, who could no longer control his emotions, and said a little ashamed.

"It'......s nothing," Gao Xueye regained her composure, "You are very smart, but you will always be smart and mistaken by cleverness one day, I hope what I said will give you some new feelings, and you will know what you should do when you encounter a choice in the future." ”
