"Sister Manxing." The girl called out the other person's name with joy, "Why are you here?" ”

"I was notified, so I came." The puppet girl looked at Kanna, "You are the 'god' of Hakujin Mountain, how did you send Anya over just now?" ”

"Where there is snow, there is me." Kanna replied, "I can bring her in here, but I can't completely hide my presence. She raised her hand and pointed to the empty air, "Get ready for that." ”

In response to the Snow Maiden's words, the air was rolled up in a dark whirlpool, as if it could swallow everything.

A black mist poured down from the whirlpool, forming a thick, deep puddle of mud on the ground. Then the mud slowly rose and solidified, forming a pitch-black figure as tall as three Anya, slightly bowed and without facial features.

"You're back, Anya, with a wild youkai." The humanoid trembled slightly, and let out a low, resonant voice, "Did you leave this time and find what you wanted?" ”

"Not quite found yet, Faceless Elder." The maiden saluted respectfully, "But I have seen the direction, and I will try to go there." She turned her head to look at the two people beside her, "With them." ”

"The three of you." The faceless humanoid turned its head, squirmed its massive body, and slowly leaned towards the trio.

Anya tilted her head a little nervously and looked at the other person's pitch-black "face". Kanna and Mantianxing didn't care, and they didn't even bother to raise their heads.

"Since this is what you want to do, it's up to you to bear the consequences of the change." The black figure said in a deep voice, still unable to hear the emotion, "The rest of the elders are in the council hall, you guys go over." ”

He walked past Anya and instead of going to the council hall, he walked away at the city gate in the opposite direction.

"Faceless Elder...... Actually, he's a good guy. Anya said softly, "He rarely shows his feelings, but apart from Mr. Ahsan from Lily of the Valley Village, he has also said it...... Let me get out of here and see what the world really is. ”

"In other words, the other elders, I'm afraid they don't have this one to get along with." Man Tianxing said calmly, "What are you going to do?" Divide and pull together, or break each one? ”

Anya looked at the road ahead and swallowed a little nervously.

"Among the remaining eleven elders, Elder Lan and Elder White Lotus will most likely be on my side. Elder Mu Yi, Elder Zhu Fu, and Elder Xi should not want to see the war happen. As for the others...... I don't know. "However, since they are waiting in the council hall, I must choose to face it—according to the ancient convention, if the 'Demon King' gives up his rights and obligations, he cannot take it back again. ”

"Let's go, then." Shen Wu said lightly, "Let me see if the current elders are still the same as when the alliance was first established. ”

Under Anya's leadership, the three of them walked into the council hall without any hindrance. The hall used to discuss important decisions of the Alliance is circular in shape, with a diameter of about three hundred feet. The hall has only one floor, and the vaulted roof of the hall is covered with colorful glazed tiles, and when viewed from different angles, it seems that you can see the majestic posture of various monsters. The walls of the temple are carved with the totems of the nine ethnic groups that helped build the alliance, as well as the statues of the first generation of elders.

Anya raised her hand, grabbed the ring on the door of the main hall, and knocked on the door three times. The next moment, the door slowly opened inward, revealing a brightly lit inner hall and the eleven elders seated in the hall.

The invisible pressure came to her face, as if a giant hand grabbed Anya's heart, and with a little force, she could end the girl's life.

She knew that this was a demonstration by the elders against her, but the difference in power between the two sides was too far. A wave of dizziness and palpitations hit her brain, making her knees go limp, and she involuntarily knelt to the ground—

A warm hand held her just right. At the same time, the god silently walked in front of the girl, and the white snowflakes rolled up from her, like a barrier, and all the pressure on the girl was wiped out.

“…… Thank you. ”

Anya took two deep breaths, supported herself with her regained wrists, and then took a step to the side, looking at the elders who surrounded her.

As a result of leaving Kanna's protection, some of the pressure hit again, but she didn't back down.

"Thank you for waiting here for my return." The preset secret technique in the council hall amplified the girl's voice so that the entire hall could hear it clearly, "I want to tell you what I have seen and heard in my empire, and I would like to know your opinion on this. ”

No one objected, no one even said a word more. But this is nothing more than the calm before the storm. Anya understands that the elders cannot deprive her of her "power", but they can question her abilities. Therefore, the statement she makes next will largely determine the fate of herself and the two people around her.

She settled down, starting with the "prophecy" she saw in the Mirror Lake, and told most of what she had seen and heard in the Empire. These include several attacks from youkai, the current state of the Pale Hand and the possible goals of the leaders, Bo Yan's appointment of them, and the results and inferences of their investigations. Of course, she shied away from the role the league played here – and now was not the time to tear her face.

"That's what I saw. I hope that we can all work together to save the Alliance, and the continent, from the turmoil and war that may come. With this sentence as a conclusion, the girl closed her lips and waited for the question to come.

The first person to question was that the whole person was a burning flame, and his temper was as violent as fire, "Let's not mention the adverse effects that you may bring to the alliance if you run to the empire without permission." He stood up, and the whole hall trembled with a voice, "You have ever thought about it, but you are just a mortal, and you don't know anything about martial arts or magic, if you die in the wilderness, what is the value?" ”

"Because I trusted my chosen companions, and they guaranteed my safe return." The girl turned her head and looked at the flame of life, and her tone was neither humble nor arrogant, "This should not be a reason for you to criticize me, on the contrary, it proves that I have enough ability, right?" ”

The flame snorted coldly, unable to hear whether he was satisfied or not, but he didn't say anything after all. There was a slight silence in the hall for a few seconds, and then another elder took over.
