In December of the year 568 of the Altino calendar, the temple of Shet Mountain

On the western border of the Free City, in the mountains surrounded by the primeval forests of Wulian, the Sheters, who had been banished by the entire Wind Continent, established their villages and temples.

Although this golden temple with no concept of art is built in a very tacky way, it is indeed a place where many Shet people place their faith and hope. It's just that this gorgeous temple is shrouded in a layer of blood today, and a group of foreign armed soldiers broke into the village like wolves and tigers, killed people when they saw them, and also attacked the most noble temple of the Shet people.

Dozens of corpses of the Shet, men, women, and children, lay on the ground outside the temple, leaving traces on the golden pillars with a bleak blood. The killer of these killings was not the soldiers who were still killing people in the village and setting fires, but the man who had already entered the temple, a man with a pair of pitch-black batwing wings.

He searched through the chaos of the temple, searching for the purpose of his trip. After spending a while, I found the golden figure, and just as I reached out to take it, a young girl's voice came from behind me.

"There is an old proverb: Don't steal food from the bowl of the Shet. It means not to compete with beggars for food, that is, to advise people not to kill them all...... Young man, you don't seem like a fool, how can you do this?"

To be able to appear silently under his own vigilance, this must be the top master in the world, plus that childish female voice, he already knows the identity of the person who came.

"Teacher Mei Lin, it is my honor to be able to meet you here. ”

As if convinced that there was no need for the other party to make a sneak attack, he turned around without warning, and saluted deeply to the petite figure at the entrance of the temple. Judging from the size and age of both parties, this salute looks very strange, but both of them have a natural expression.

"The politeness of a young man is good, but why do you pretend to be a Chireth thing and come out to deceive?"

In response to this accusation, he bowed down with great humility and saluted.

"I don't mean to fake, it's just that once you need to fly faster, the magic wings born from the demon body are this shape and color, and you don't have to choose. The Black Bat Wing is not Chires' patent, as for swagger...... Teacher Mei Lin said seriously, some humans like to pretend to be demons, and some demons like to pretend to be humans, this is just a personal hobby, not a fraud. ”

"Oh......"

Mei Lin's eyes flashed with a hint of sternness, and she looked at this young man in a blue shirt with a beautiful face but a little evil spirit. Since Kigru recruited relatives to fight, he can be said to be the one who has changed the most among all at that time, and the sincerity and respect he showed in such a low bow just now surprised her a little, but listening to his words now, it is obviously not a sign of unilateral and complete obedience.

There is another thing that Mei Lin cares about very much, this young man's body, in addition to the evil spirit, also has an indescribable temperament, which is strange, but it seems to be very familiar, which makes Mei Lin feel quite strange.

While Mei Lin stared at the juniors opposite, thinking slightly, Hua Tianxie also noticed a few things. The killing outside the temple had stopped, and although the air still smelled of fire and blood, it had faded considerably, and it was clear that all the Elteno soldiers he had brought with him had stopped moving.

Of course, these beast soldiers who originally belonged to the Shi Family Legion could not have repented of their sins and cried bitterly and stopped, but were cleaned up by Mei Lin who came all the way, but with such a large number of deaths, there was no reason why they couldn't feel it, what the hell was this......

Using a little Tianxin consciousness induction, Hua Tianyi has already understood its reason. In order not to alarm the enemy masters, when she shot all the way at high speed, she just used the strong wind to seal the Eltino soldiers who came into contact with her, but this was not just a simple seal, but at the same time to stop their movements, but also cut off their hearts, so that the soldiers who were blocked would die after a while, but before Merlin arrived at the temple, the enemies in the temple would still feel the heartbeat and vitality of the soldiers, and would not be aware of the fact that the entire army was wiped out.

"I see, I deserve to be an old man, I am really taught. ”

Thinking of this, Hua Tianye bowed his hand to Mei Lin and paid respect. It seems that he deliberately differs from the arrogant image in the past, and now he behaves like the most exemplary Confucian in the White Deer Cave, not only every action is in line with the way of a gentleman, but even the smile has become a polite smile.

Such a change made Mei Lin a little confused, but as long as she remembered that he let go of killing the Shet before, that attitude of not caring about human life, made Mei Lin confident that she couldn't treat him as a good person.

"It's very Confucian's posture, but unfortunately it doesn't have the ethics that Confucianism should have, it seems that after Lu You is gone, Bailu Cave has become a nest for hypocrites to gather. ”

"Being commented on by Teacher Mei Lin is really the fault of the juniors, but I must make a little defense for this crime. I enjoy the feeling of killing, especially the feeling of a blazing fire of life, cold and extinguished because of me, the change from life to death, which makes me feel extremely happy, but when facing someone worthy of respect, I use etiquette to express my respect and respect, even if one day I take off the teacher's head with my own hands, I still respect you the same...... I am the murderer, I am the salute, every moment is the real me, I am doing my thing wholeheartedly, there is no hypocrisy, how can Teacher Mei Lin say that I am a hypocrite?"

The smile on Hua Tianxie's face was still gentle and polite, but it gave people a heavier sense of evil, especially when he spread his hands as he spoke, and the sharp aura hidden in the smile made Mei Lin frown and feel the dangerous message.

"You're right, I'm wrong, you're not a hypocrite, you've become a true madman......"

When Mei Lin said this coldly, Hua Tianxie was not angry, just like the most elegant gentleman, and when he nodded his head, he smiled and said "thank you".

And Mei Lin, who witnessed this reaction, knew that no matter what the young junior's cultivation was now, he was an extremely difficult type of Heavenly Rank Martial Artist to deal with. Not hating the past, not clinging to the present, being loyal to one's heart, and following the "true self", such people are the most in line with the cultivation principles of the Heavenly Rank Force, and they are often the strongest Heavenly Rank martial artists.

Suddenly, a trace of inexplicable fluctuations caused the two of them to ripple in their heavenly consciousness, and then, the golden statue that was placed in the messy object suddenly burst into golden light. The astonishing brightness was as bright as the scorching sun in an instant, forcing the two of them to face each other, and then it turned into a pillar of light, piercing through the roof of the temple and shooting into the sky without damaging anything.

In the verdant primeval forest, a holy golden light shot out from the temple, straight into the clouds, the brilliant golden light, even hundreds of miles away, can still clearly see this scene, if it were not for the chaos in the village of the Shet, they would have knelt down to worship the miracle as they had done in the past few days.

The dazzling golden light lasted for a while before it gradually disappeared, and the two people in the temple had already regained their sight, staring at the light of the golden statue to disappear, each thinking of something.

Merlin said: "I was a little curious about why you would know about the golden statue here, because Gengoro and I assured me that he was the only one who saw the Sheter pick up the golden statue in the Arangbat Mountain, and absolutely no one else knew. Now, I get it......"

Shi Chong had already taken over the Chiba family's intelligence system on the Wind Continent, and if the Shete Mountain side emitted towering pillars of light like this for several days in a row, he would not be able to receive the news before there was a ghost. As long as there is a little analysis, with Dorgon's vision and knowledge, he naturally knows what the golden light represents, so it is no wonder that Hua Tianevil will appear here.

"Teacher Merlin is like a god! But I have just solved another doubt. Originally, when we estimated the manpower, we didn't take you into account, but expected to meet the witch of your new Dark Wizard Research Institute, because it stands to reason that you should be busy dissipating the vitality of heaven and earth, and you won't have time to appear here, so you can't think of ......it."

Hua Tianxi's eyes looked at the golden statue, and then at the sky outside the temple. Compared with the corners of the eaves covered in gold leaf, the blue sky was as clear as the ocean, but Hua Tianyi guessed that thousands of miles away, the sky on the other side of the free city must be disordered, because according to the information he obtained, these golden statues could reflect the fluctuations of the vitality of heaven and earth.

In other words, it must have been somewhere on this continent where the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi flowed violently, which made the golden statue react and resonate. And at present, on the Continent of Winds, the source that is most likely to cause the violent fluctuations of heaven and earth's vitality, excluding Shangri-La, is Jerusalem.

"What did Marshal Gongjin do? It seems that you have caused a lot of trouble, teacher! It's really nerve-wracking, although we are colleagues, but sometimes some of his actions are also against our interests......

Hua Tianxie's speculation was that Gong Jin, who was in Jerusalem, must have done something to make the Demon Guild, which was still beyond the struggle between the two sides, change its position, give up the work of adjusting the vitality of heaven and earth, and send out people.

In fact, it is exactly what it is. Led by Cangyue Grass, the three magic arrays that run diagonally through the free city have all felt that the heavens and the earth have changed color in recent days, and the heaven and earth vitality, which was already in a state of chaos, has not calmed down after these days of guidance, but has been running more violently, impacting each other, making the group of magic masters who have worked hard to support the magic circle exhausted, and they don't know when they will be freed.

The appearance of this situation was not reasonable at all, and Xiaocao quickly found the reason. There is a force emanating from the ground in Jerusalem that is constantly affecting the Heaven and Earth Vitality, and as long as this force does not stop working, the chaos of the Heaven and Earth Vitality will not be calmed down at all, but will only gradually deteriorate.

Starting from the location of the three magic arrays, due to the continuous absorption of too much heaven and earth vitality, the earthquake has begun to appear, the sky has also turned a strange purple red, the clouds are like blood, and the air is full of choking sulfur smell;

The changes in heaven and earth are caused by the drastic changes in energy, and the situation will deteriorate to such an extent that the pressure on the many magicians who directly bear this energy can be imagined. Three days ago, Mei Lin and Fenghua cut off contact with Xiaocao respectively, and no matter what kind of heart-to-heart communication they used, they couldn't contact Xiaocao.

Merlin was calm on the outside, but she was really nervous on the inside. She believed that this daughter-like disciple had the ability to protect herself, but if she had to take care of the rest of the subordinates who followed her, it would be very difficult, this child had never learned to break the wrist of a strong man and sacrifice the means of his subordinates to continue his own life, otherwise he would not have evolved like that in Kigru, if she was still obsessed with protecting the safety of everyone this time, the situation would be very dangerous.

(Why are young children like this now?, whether it is a natural spirit or an out-of-body demonic soul, it is all in addition to its own advantages, there are fatal shortcomings, this kind of life-saving technique should be used in an emergency, not for them to play handsome all day long...... ）

Annoyed and worried, Mei Lin couldn't continue to sit in the magic array, and it happened that Gengoro sent a message again, asking her to dispatch manpower on her behalf, and Mei Lin came to Shet Mountain in person to seize the golden statue.

"Zhou Gongjin, that iron-masked boy, I don't know what I'm thinking about in my head, I sometimes feel that this kid seems to want to destroy the world more than the demons......"

Mei Lin spread her hands and sighed with a wry smile: "Anyway, no matter how the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is channeled, it can't be calmed down, and if you don't do this job, everyone will break up, I'd better come out early, solve the situation here first, okay, give me the golden statue!"

"Yes, as you say, teacher. ”

As soon as Hua Tianxie raised his hand, the invisible suction force sucked the golden statue, and without waiting for the golden statue to enter his palm, as soon as he sent it flatly, the golden statue flew slowly towards Mei Lin and reached her palm.

"Uh......"

Don't be surprised, it must be fake, Mei Lin certainly thinks that Hua Tianxie will not swear to resist, but he is actually obedient to this point, which is really dumbfounded. Besides, as soon as she investigated the skill, she knew in her heart that there was neither darkness nor poison on this golden statue, and Hua Tianxie was indeed very honest in handing over the golden statue to herself.

"If Teacher Mei Lin doesn't have anything to order, the junior will leave. Hua Tianxie slammed to the ground, and then turned to leave.

“...... Wait, did you kid just give up, with your old style, it doesn't seem like you would back down so easily!"

With the current situation, this sentence is really strange to ask, but Mei Lin can't help but care about one thing, that is, the indescribable familiar temperament between Hua Tian's evil eyebrows has always made her feel very uneasy, especially when he was about to turn around, her heart was filled with a sad feeling, this is a rare miracle in two thousand years, and she can't just ignore it.

"Isn't it reasonable to do this with the difference in strength between me and Teacher Mei Lin? I am confident in my martial arts, but I think that I am far from being your opponent, Teacher, instead of being beaten half to death, and then offering a golden statue with both hands, why don't you just jump out of that embarrassing process? and ......"

Hua Tianxie turned around, the smile on his face was still so gentle, but the familiar expression made Mei Lin suddenly have a face in her mind, an old man who was once familiar but no longer alive.

“...... I am different from someone, I will not waste my years for something that I should not be attached to, if it is time to give up, I will know how to give up. ”

In the past, Hua Tianxie had a deep love for Princess Leia of Reyns, and insisted on this relationship, this passage came out of his mouth, which sounded really ironic, but Merlin didn't care about this, her body shook violently, and she trembled for what she thought.

"You...... Amakusa ......"

"In the first battle of the Imperial City of Zhongdu, before Amakusa Makisada decided to destroy himself, he transferred the experience of his life to my brain, that is to say, ......"

Hua Tianxie smiled and tapped his head, and said: "Here, with all his memories and experiences, to a certain extent, Amakusa Makizhen entrusted his soul to me, alas, this can also be said to be the reincarnation of one more life!"

Mei Lin looked at Hua Tianxie in a daze, wanting to speak, but she couldn't find the right words to say. She knew what the temperament she had been feeling from Hua Tianxie before, and there had never been a moment when she felt so guilty about people, but even if she wanted to say something, the person who could accept her compliments was no longer in the world, and what remained in front of her eyes was just a virtual body.

"Actually, I feel full of trouble, even if it is a heavy gift, it is forced to be stuffed like this, completely ignoring my personal wishes, that guy has been living a confused life for 2,000 years, and I have spent a lot of effort to adapt to those experiences in order not to become a road idiot......!

Hua Tianyi knocked his head and muttered: "That indecisive clumsy guy didn't leave a last word, nor did he ask me to convey anything for him, maybe he didn't want to cause any trouble to the people who are still alive, but if he sorted out his mood, I think this is the only thing he has to say......"

Since the end of the Kyushu War, Mei Lin had this feeling of wet eyes for the first time, and at this moment, she heard the voice in her ears, overlapping with the voice in her memory, and the young man who bent down to herself with his back to a shining golden light was undoubtedly the Wenxiu young man who was wearing a brand-new demon military uniform more than two thousand years ago, and saluted and reported to him with an uneasy but excited expression.

"Thank you, Your Highness Princess, for the privilege of serving you with no regrets in your life...... I can't protect you anymore, please forgive ......"

As if seeing the familiar old man, with his usual clumsy expression, smiling apologetically, after a deep bow, slowly disappeared from the air, and when Merlin was able to calm down a little, there was only silence around him, and occasionally a few birdsongs came from afar, and there was no one in the temple except her.

"Stupid, this fool...... It's still like this until ...... death."

The childish and lovely voice choked softly, and one after another crystal tears fell on the golden statue, which seemed to be the tears of the gods......
