Chapter Twenty-Three: The Dark Sky Alliance (Ask for Recommendations, Collections)
Ling Yifan returned to the Ethereal Sect, but because he was concerned about his mother, he didn't go to see anyone, so he went directly back to the 'Lingxiao Cave'.
It is difficult to investigate the mother's affairs, and there are too few useful clues, and eighteen years have passed. It was not easy to find, only the waist card called 'Tianmeng' that my father had mentioned.
"Grandpa Kong, do you know what the power of the 'Heavenly Alliance' is in this world?" Ling Yifan thought of Kong Mochen, so he asked.
Kong Mochen pondered for a while and hesitated: "There is an organization on this continent called the 'Dark Sky Alliance', which is one of the three major forces on this continent.
Of the three continents on this continent, Lingyun Continent is adjacent to Central Continent, and Heavenly Demon Continent borders Central Continent. The number one force in Lingyun Continent is the 'Holy Sect', the number one force in the Heavenly Demon Continent is the Heavenly Demon Sect, and the 'Dark Heaven Alliance' is the number one force in Zhongzhou. And the Heavenly Demon Sect has always been ambitious and wants to unify the three continents.
And this 'Dark Sky Alliance' was established for this Heavenly Demon Sect, and it also monitors some hidden dark forces on the continent, and is considered a leader of the righteous path, and is very admired by the righteous people in the cultivation realm, and every monk in Zhongzhou is proud to be a member of the 'Dark Sky Alliance'.
It stands to reason that it shouldn't have been the Dark Sky Alliance' who captured your mother, maybe someone else. There are also many cult people on this continent who pretend to be members of the 'Dark Sky Alliance' in order to undermine the prestige of the 'Dark Sky Alliance'.
The 'Dark Sky Alliance' also often sends its disciples to investigate and suppress, but there are many monks on this continent, and there are always fish that slip through the net. I don't know if the mysterious person who kidnapped your mother really has something to do with the Dark Sky Alliance. ”
After listening to Kong Mochen's words, Ling Yifan's heart moved, and he took out a gray token engraved with the small word 'dark', which was obtained from the mysterious person who chased and killed him, "Grandpa Kong, do you know this thing, is this the token of the 'Dark Sky Alliance'?" Ling Yifan asked eagerly.
Looking at this gray token, Kong Mochen frowned and pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Although I haven't seen the token of the 'Dark Sky Alliance', I heard that the tokens of the 'Dark Sky Alliance' are all unified with the word 'Qian', but they will use different colors to distinguish the identity of the owner."
However, this token reminds me of an organization, which is mysterious and weird, and for so many years I only know that this organization is called the 'Dark Temple', which specializes in collecting the power of souls, especially mutated souls. The mysterious person who chased you in the first place was probably the minions of the 'Dark Temple', for the sake of your mutated soul, but now that there is a mysterious orb of existence, no one will find out that you are a mutated soul. At that time, I wanted to search for his soul, but the man had already been planted with a soul ban, and his soul was destroyed when touched, so I couldn't search for souls, so I didn't get any clues.
According to my guess, since you are a mutant soul, it is likely that your mother is also a mutant soul, and the person who captured your mother is likely to be the legendary mysterious 'Dark Temple'. I don't know much about this dark temple, only the 'Dark Sky Alliance' has been secretly tracking down the news of the 'Dark Temple', only there may be more detailed information there, if you want to track down, it seems that you have to go to the 'Dark Sky Alliance'.
However, the 'Dark Sky Alliance' is hundreds of millions of miles away, and even if you don't sleep and rush at full speed without any obstruction, you won't be able to reach it for a year or two. What's more, this cultivation realm is full of dangers, and with your current strength, it is already remarkable that you can reach Zhongzhou alive in ten or eight years. ”
After listening to Kong Mochen's words, Ling Yifan said secretly: "It seems that I have to leave the sect if I have a chance!" I couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "I don't know if my mother is alive or dead, even if I go to every corner of the continent, I will find you!"
"You don't have to worry too much, just by the 'Soul Realm' that can take away your mother, you can at least judge that your mother was still alive at the time!" Kong Mochen reassured.
Ling Yifan asked suspiciously, "By the way, what is the 'Living Spirit Realm'?"
"This 'Soul Realm' is actually the same as the Space Ring, but it can not only store items in it, but also store a living being, this 'Soul Realm' is extremely difficult to manufacture, and it can only be created by comprehending the forbidden technique to the fourth step, and the success rate is very low. Kong Mochen explained.
Ling Yifan was secretly relieved to learn that his mother might still be alive, and he had a plan in his heart. On the second day, I first met Shizun, and then found Yun Mengyao.
It has been nearly half a month since Ling Yifan left the sect, but it feels extremely long for this couple who have just fallen in love, as if several years have passed.
Seeing each other again, although the time of departure was short, both of them felt as if they were reunited after a long absence. The indescribable throbbing in her heart, Yun Mengyao has been worrying about Ling Yifan every day these days, this feeling was not felt at the beginning, after a long time, especially when the night is quiet, the thoughts will hit like a tide, making people uncontrollable.
Seeing Ling Yifan, Yun Mengyao said with concern: "Is your father's health okay?"
"It's okay, it's tough now. Ling Yifan replied.
The two seem to have endless topics, and they will talk for a long time about an inconsequential little thing, maybe only men and women in love can experience the joy in it!
After returning to the sect, Ling Yifan was no longer immersed in boring cultivation, and he and Yun Mengyao were in pairs, often walking together.
The two traveled all over the five peaks, chatting about the world, from various childhood to stepping into the sect. The two went to Tianchi Peak to watch the snow in Tianchi, looked up at the fire clouds in Huoyun Peak, and went to Chaoyang Peak to watch the sunrise together, to Luoxia Peak to enjoy the sunset, to the Ethereal Peak Edgeworth straight up to the clouds, and felt the heroism of looking down on the earth, the two of them are like a couple of fairy couples with deep affection!
"What is your desire to cultivate?" the two stood among the flowers in the Cangyun Mountain Range, and Yun Mengyao leaned against Ling Yifan and asked.
Ling Yifan was silent, the first time he hoped to enter the sect was to get ahead, to glorify the lintel, and to become an immortal who was high in the eyes of mortals, with great magical powers. But when you step into the sect, you find that in fact, the cultivation realm is not necessarily better than the mortal world, and here you are focused on talent and strength, this is a world where the strong are respected.
Thinking of all the things since he entered the sect, Ling Yifan said slowly with deep affection: "When I first entered the sect, I was to glorify the lintel, and I was still very simple at that time. Later, I found out that a person with extremely poor qualifications and no cultivation potential could not gain the approval of this cultivation realm, and there was no care and mercy here, only spitting and ridicule. Later, I cultivated to gain dignity. ”
Saying that, he lowered his head and looked at Yun Mengyao affectionately, "Now I am cultivating to prevent my beloved from being hurt again!"
Looking up and looking at each other, Yun Mengyao's heart was moved and warm, "Thank you!"
"Fool, thank you!" Ling Yifan said affectionately.
"Thank you for letting me experience the feeling of happiness, thank you for letting me taste the taste of love!I hope you will always do this to me, even if you are old, you will not change!" Yun Mengyao said leisurely.
Ling Yifan gently hugged Yun Mengyao, looked up at the sky, and said with a firm gaze: "I won't talk flatteringly, I won't tell you those vague promises. All I can say is, trust me, time will tell!"
Yun Mengyao nodded softly, "I believe in you!"
A wordless solemn promise, a word of trust without any reason, made the hearts of the two people tightly connected.
At dusk the next day, at Luoxia Peak, the two stood in the afterglow of Luoxia, Ling Yifan pondered for a long time and said to Yun Mengyao: "Mengyao, I'm leaving the Ethereal Sect. ”
When he said this, Ling Yifan's heart was full of unbearability and helplessness, on the one hand, he was in love, and on the other hand, his mother's life and death were uncertain.
He can't bear to be separated from the person he loves, and he has to find out the whereabouts of his mother, when will they see each other again. Whether he will encounter accidents on the road to find the truth is unknown, he doesn't dare to think about it, but he knows that he must not let down the beautiful woman in front of him, no matter what happens, he must come back safely.
Yun Mengyao was shocked in her heart, and said angrily: "No wonder you have been with me all day these days, it turns out that you have planned it a long time ago, why didn't you sue me earlier? Why don't you stay, isn't the Ethereal Sect good? Can you give me a reason!"
Ling Yifan said lovingly: "Meng Yao, I don't want to leave the Ethereal Sect, let alone leave you, I also hope to grow old with you here." But I have a blood feud, this time I went home and learned from my father that my mother was kidnapped by a mysterious monk more than 20 years ago, and now her whereabouts are unknown, and I don't know whether she is alive or dead, I have to leave the Ethereal Sect to find out the truth, otherwise my heart will be uneasy for the rest of my life. ”
Yun Mengyao heard Ling Yifan talk about her secret for the first time, she didn't expect Ling Yifan to have such a secret thing, she didn't blame Ling Yifan for leaving. Said with concern: "What is the identity of your enemy, can you do it yourself, it is better to ask the sect for help, I think the sect master will not refuse you." ”
Ling Yifan shook his head and said, "Meng Yao, I already owe a lot to the sect, and I want to solve my own affairs." I don't want others to be implicated, I don't know who the enemy is, but I will definitely find out, you don't have to worry about me!"
Yun Mengyao looked at the lover in front of her, "I am willing to face it with you, I am not an outsider, I will go with you." ”
Ling Yifan felt a burst of warmth and gratitude in his heart, this trip is unknown even to himself, this is a dangerous road, how can he let Yun Mengyao take risks with him, so he persuaded: "You stay in the sect with peace of mind, don't worry about me, I will take care of myself." When I find out the truth and take revenge, I will come back to reunite with you, and never be separated, I swear this is our first and last separation!"
Yun Mengyao looked at Ling Yifan with affection, and said reluctantly: "When will you come back, if you can't take revenge for the rest of your life, won't I never see you for the rest of my life! You can't ask me to wait here indefinitely, you really can't bear it!"
"No, there are less than eight years left before the Great Competition of the Thousand Sects, and I will come back to see you regardless of whether I take revenge or not. And I promised that the sect master would represent the sect in the competition then, and then we would see each other at the Thousand Sect Competition. At that time, if I take revenge, we will return to the sect together until we are old, and if I haven't taken revenge, then I will wronged you to travel the world with me. Ling Yifan said affectionately.
"Then if you sue the sect, the sect may not necessarily agree to your departure, if you know your situation, even if you don't agree, the sect will probably stand up for you. Yun Mengyao said.
"I just said that I want to go out to travel, and when I reach the mortal period, the sect will not stop my disciples from traveling, and tomorrow I will propose my thoughts to the master. Ling Yifan said.
"Okay then, I won't talk about your affairs to others, so when are you leaving?" Yun Mengyao asked reluctantly.
