Chapter 145 Abdicate and give way to talents
"Seven Nights, you guys stay here and continue dealing with the human circle matters. Our team needs to go back to Great Xia."
If the blood moon here isn't dealt with properly, it will cause trouble sooner or later. Let's go back and ask the great Hou Yi to shoot another arrow at us.
As Ling Yunxiao spoke, he looked at Wang Mian. Now, his team, including himself, had six people in the circle. Naturally, they didn't have the Golden Phoenix or the Zhong Kui Ghost-Slaying Sword.
“We can take the light boat that Fish Gills gave us back. Don’t worry about the direction; I’ll give you directions. However, Yunxiao, you still need to inform Garuda King to come and meet us as soon as possible.”
Wang Mian didn't dare to delay either. After Leng Xuan took out the light boat, he prepared to say goodbye to Lin Qiye.
"See you in Great Xia..."
[Nightfall] The team waved to Ling Yunxiao and his companions, offering no further words to try and keep them. Naturally, no one was worried about their safety; after all, almost the entire team had become gods.
After the light boat sailed through the mist for a day, Garuda King flew above the group, and they jumped onto Garuda King's back.
"Return to Great Xia..."
"Master, don't you have something called a cell phone that can contact the Great Xia? Why are you rushing back now? The gods of the Great Xia are already waiting for you outside the mountain god temple!"
"..."
Garuda King's words silenced Ling Yunxiao and the others. Leng Xuan and Han Shaoyun, who had been struggling to control the light boat all day, exchanged bewildered glances. Everyone tacitly agreed that cell phones couldn't be used in the fog, completely forgetting that Ling Yunxiao possessed a communication phone that could ignore all obstacles.
Ling Yunxiao quickly dialed a number, and the call was answered almost immediately.
"Yunxiao! How's the situation in your Takamagahara human community going?"
"Fortunately, the memorial association president is there. She's a professional, so there shouldn't be any major problems."
"So why did you call back? Is something wrong? Or have you encountered any difficulties?"
"Commander Ye, please contact the great Hou Yi and the swordsman Zhou Ping, and have them simultaneously attack the skies above Takamagahara. There, a blood-red moon, even more terrifying than Ningchang County in Hainan, is lurking in the mist, and we don't know when it will erupt."
We don't know the exact location, so asking the two of them to take action is just doing our best and leaving the rest to fate.
"Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible. Are you going back to Great Xia now?"
“We’re not going back. We plan to go straight to the Temple of the Gods. It’s time for Shiva and Vishnu to pay the price for what they’ve done to Great Xia.”
"Yunxiao, thank you for your hard work. By the way, it was great that you brought the [Blue Rain] team back."
"Commander Ye, although they have been healed and resurrected, they have been corrupted by the Blood Moon in Takamagahara for fifty years. Even Susanoo has become a monster. It's hard to say whether their essence has changed."
"I only did my best to heal them, but if they retain their original intentions and still become followers of the Blood Moon, it would be somewhat unsafe for Great Xia to entrust them with the responsibilities of a special team."
"Don't worry! I'll get them to Dragon Vein Island..."
"No, Commander Ye, don't you understand what I'm saying? Sending them to Dragon Vein Island will destroy the foundation of Great Xia? Or will it destroy the dragon vein and the nation's destiny?"
Ling Yunxiao's voice suddenly rose, and Ye Fan remained silent for a moment without refuting him. Ling Yunxiao frowned and then took a deep breath.
"Commander Ye, I'm sorry, I know you believe in human nature and the Night Watch. But, I'm sorry, I believe even more in the terrifying whispers of the Kree. So, please leave the handling of the [Blue Rain] matter to Zuo Qing!"
"Yunxiao, since you have such strong suspicions about them, why did you still save them?"
Ye Fan was equally helpless. You were the one who saved him, and then you were the one who had Garuda King send him back. Now you're the one who's suspicious and wary? What are you trying to do? Are you worried about your family being idle? Are you trying to find something for them to do?
"Commander Ye, Captain Luanping and the others are heroes who died far from home for their country. It is my duty to rescue them. Besides, Wu Xiangnan is here, they should go home."
However, the Blood Moon did not disappear with the vanishing of Takamagahara, and things became more complicated. Even their original nature remains, but what unknown methods the Kyoukai have left in their bodies and souls are something we have no way of knowing.
"The enemy we've always faced has been one so powerful that we must proceed with extreme caution; I hope you won't forget that."
When Ling Yunxiao finished speaking, Ye Fan, who was usually good-tempered, even wanted to curse into the phone for half an hour, not a minute less.
Who wanders through the fog every day, fearless and undaunted? Who is a priest who always thinks of leading from the front? As the Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch, why should he be lectured by a brute for not being careful enough?
"I'm sorry, Commander, Yunxiao probably ate some mushrooms while eating just now. Please don't worry about it. It could also be because he was a little emotional after seeing that blood moon. Anyway, it's always better for us to be careful."
My personal opinion is that we shouldn't make it too obvious, lest we discourage the heroes. Therefore, entrusting this task to Zuo Qing is indeed the most suitable option!
Wang took the phone from Ling Yunxiao and spoke humbly.
Ye Fan blinked, thinking of Master and Lu Wuwei who had recently begun their seclusion. At this moment, he felt an urge to step down and hand over the command to Zuo Qing, while he found a secluded ancient temple with beautiful mountains and clear waters to try and break through to the Divine Realm. Wouldn't that be better?
“I will make all the arrangements. Be careful when you go to the Temple of the Gods. In the original mythological system, the Temple of the Gods was not actually that strong, at least not as strong as Olympus and Sun City. But you have all heard how arrogant the Temple of the Gods has been in the last ten years.”
Tell Ling Yunxiao not to act impulsively; better safe than sorry.
"Yes, Commander Ye, don't worry!"
Wang Mian hung up the phone with a smile, glanced at Ling Yunxiao who seemed unaffected, but ultimately said nothing to him. The group continued on their journey in silence.
Daxia, Headquarters.
Ye Fan sat alone in his office for a long time before finally making up his mind to hold an online meeting.
So once everyone had arrived, Ye Fan smiled and called Zuo Qing to his office, then unhesitatingly made him sit in his seat.
"Now, I have an announcement to make: I will step down and prepare to go into seclusion to attempt to break through to the Divine Realm. The position of Commander-in-Chief of the Great Xia Night Watch will be handed over to Zuo Qing. Does anyone object?"
"Don't hesitate! If you don't speak up now, you won't have another chance!"
In the video of the online meeting, everyone was unusually silent, and no one even dared to move.
At this moment, in Ye Fan's profile picture video, besides himself and a bewildered Zuo Qing, there was also Hou Yi with his bow fully drawn and Zhou Ping slowly raising his sword. No one knew who these two gods were going to attack. Judging from their poised expressions, they would likely unleash a terrifying attack capable of destroying the heavens and the earth in the next second.
At this moment, who would dare to stand up and gamble that the ancient bow and longsword might attack them directly because they objected?
