Chapter 259 The Hunting Season
"Young Prince, we'll trouble you to stay in Great Xia and guard the Heavenly Court and the boundary markers."
Of all of us, you are the strongest in combat and have a wide range of talents. You might even be able to provide some assistance to the Heavenly Court in weapon crafting.
As for us few scoundrels who only know how to fight, we'll leave us here.
After thinking it through, Ling Yunxiao looked at Wang Ye with a smile.
Wang Ye naturally understood Ling Yunxiao's meaning, but he was indeed very interested in the renowned Nine Provinces Cauldron, so he didn't refute it.
Seeing that Wang Ye had agreed, Ling Yunxiao turned to look at Lin Qiye.
"Seven Nights, go find An Qingyu and Old Wu! The Great Celestial Venerable just mentioned the [Nightfall] team, so their current combat strength should be enough to accompany you."
"Asgard and Takamagahara are now in your hands, along with Old Wu, and with the [Nightfall] buff, I hope you can destroy these two divine realms within a year."
Lin Qiye naturally wouldn't refuse, and he agreed very seriously.
"Nezha, you should stay in Heaven! Contribute your divine power together with everyone in Heaven."
"Alright."
Nezha, remembering that he was a member of the Heavenly Court, could only agree and gave up his idea of going out to fight the enemy.
"Captain, as for the other divine kingdoms, we'll leave them to the two of us. Let's set off!"
"It's impossible."
Wang smiled and nodded, "The best defense is offense, that's true!"
Immediately afterwards, Ling Yunxiao took out a considerable number of Karmic Fire Red Lotuses, put them into his spatial ring, and handed them to Lin Qiye.
"Seven Nights, before you make your move, be sure to place the Crimson Lotus on your weapons. Don't waste that power of reincarnation."
"Brother Ling, I know, don't worry."
Lin Qiye smiled and put the ring on his hand. Besides Wu Tongxuan of the Styx River, he also had Nyx and the legendary magician by his side. A year would be enough.
"Alright, let's go! Hunting season has arrived."
After smiling and waving goodbye to everyone, Ling Yunxiao walked with Wang Mian to the outside of the South Heavenly Gate.
Garuda King had been waiting at the door. When he saw Ling Yunxiao and Wang Mian come out, he lowered his wings and his eyes were filled with joy and loyalty.
"King Garuda, what have you been busy with during the year we were away? Why do you look so happy?"
"In response to Master, I was originally living in the mountains with the cubs of my clan until a few days ago when a squad of night watchmen from the neighborhood came to our door."
The Night's Watch has now entered into an equal pact with my grandson, and my mischievous descendant is now a registered local guardian beast.
Garuda King flew into the sky, speaking in a light and cheerful voice, clearly in a very good mood.
With Ling Yunxiao's protection and the status of a guardian beast, it is now a legitimate beast god of the Great Xia Dynasty. It no longer needs to worry about the Great Xia's air ban, nor about its descendants being hunted.
"King Garuda, do you know where the treasure of the Temple of the Gods is located?"
Wang Mian thought about what the Heavenly Court was doing and knew that it would be best if his group could bring back some more rare and precious materials.
"Within the Temple of the Gods of the Divine Kingdom, there are many altars that can absorb faith. It is said that they were built with the combined wealth of the entire nation. They must be some good things. Masters, you can dismantle those altars and take them back with you!"
Garuda King's words silenced both Wang Mian and Ling Yunxiao. They had been to the Temple of the Gods before, and they had gone there empty-handed and returned empty-handed. They had seen so many altars along the way, but they hadn't stopped for a moment.
As the two secretly regretted their extravagance, King Garuda had already led them outside the temple of the gods.
This time, Garuda King successfully hovered in front of the gate. The expressions of the two guards at the gate were clearly visible, but the light barrier that had blocked them had completely disappeared.
"Hehehe... Are we the only two who can't start ahead of schedule?"
Ling Yunxiao belatedly realized what was happening, and Wang Mian nodded helplessly in acknowledgment.
After all, only the two of them are variables, having traveled back in time. Of course, Lin Qiye, the protagonist, seems to be able to do whatever he wants without any restrictions.
"Yunxiao, have we forgotten about Wu Xiangnan?"
"Captain, you're overthinking it. Qi Ye and Squad 136 have an extraordinary bond. Even if I forgot to tell him, he will probably go to Cangnan to pick up Wu Xiangnan. It's just that the fate of Blue Rain in this life depends on how Wu Xiangnan and Lin Qi Ye ultimately choose."
Ling Yunxiao and Wang Mian chatted as they descended from the clouds, appearing directly in front of the guards of the Temple of Heaven.
Before the guards could even speak, Ling Yunxiao and Wang Mian had already drawn their swords.
Inside the Temple of the Gods, there were no ordinary people left. They had been here before and knew very well that only countless puppets remained. They contributed their faith to the altar like marionettes, and what difference was there between living and dying like this?
"Captain, leave the lives inside to me!"
Even knowing he was about to slaughter puppets, Wang Mian hesitated for a moment when he saw their devout and blank faces. Ling Yunxiao saw Wang Mian's hesitation, and even though Wang Mian had already drawn his sword, he still reached out and pressed down on Wang Mian's shoulder.
Then, before Wang Mian could speak, Ling Yunxiao took out the Judge's Pen and quickly wrote a line of small characters on the Book of Life and Death:
"Old friends return on the Bridge of Helplessness"
The red spider lilies bloomed at their feet, and a figure slowly emerged. As his figure became clearer, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and a chilling wind suddenly swept through the bright and beautiful temple.
The newcomer wore a dark red dragon robe, an imperial crown, and carried a ruyi scepter. He looked at all the people and gods in Sun City with compassion, and slowly walked up to Ling Yunxiao.
Ling Yunxiao looked at the unfamiliar face and couldn't help but feel puzzled. Who was this person? He was just looking for a quick and efficient henchman, so why did an Emperor-level being appear?
"Ten Kings of Hell, Wheel-Turning King, and the Master of the Book of Humanity greet you."
"King of the Wheel, you are too kind. It is truly astonishing that you would deign to come here! Shouldn't you be residing in the Underworld? Is there something here that attracts you?"
Ling Yunxiao disregarded whether speaking like this was impolite and couldn't resist his curiosity, so he asked the person about it.
"You are overthinking things, Your Excellency. I merely sensed the compassion in Your Excellency's heart and the desolation here. It just so happens that the Tenth Court's duty is to distinguish between good and evil and to send people into the cycle of reincarnation. So I came. If there are any innocent people here, I can also send them into the six realms of reincarnation."
However, due to their mental deficiencies, they can only be reborn as animals in their next life.
"That's wonderful, thank you for your hard work."
Ling Yunxiao smiled and bowed, stepping aside to let King Zhuanlun pass. He had no compassion whatsoever; it was simply too much of a waste of time for him to go and chop down so many people with his axe, and he also had to consider the king's feelings.
