Light Barrier

Chapter 969

In the long afternoon, the breeze blows across the West Sea.

"Xiaowu, Yao Jin has returned to the city. This operation-"

Mu Xin spoke in a heavy voice and pushed open the door of the small courtyard.

The sound stopped suddenly.

Mu Xin stared blankly at the scene in the yard.

The shadow of the tree shattered and fell on Utuo's body.

The green leaves of the potted plants are swaying, and the sea breeze brings coolness... It is very clean here, clean in every sense of the word.

There is no blood.

There are no traces of battle.

There was no breath.

...

...@@@@

"Great Elder, I'm here to apologize."

Yao Jin was sitting in a wheelchair, speaking in a complicated voice through the screen.

"I already know about the Gu family mission."

At the end of the screen, there was darkness.

The sound of surging liquid can be vaguely heard.

The corners of this old-fashioned attic are filled with mechanical components. A large number of green and silver pipes are densely arranged. This is where the sound of liquid gushing comes from... It seems that countless water flows through the pipes and is sent to the world behind the screen, to the temple. Almost no one in the movie knew what was behind the screen.

"You lost the bet, that's normal."

After a long silence, the great elder spoke: "Many people in the temple have lost bets, including me. One failure doesn't mean anything."

Yao Jin raised his head in surprise.

He stared at the darkness at the end of the screen and whispered: "Gu Nanfeng made a rude request..."

He explained the details of this operation in detail.

The great elder is very patient.

"You made a mistake and I'm here to apologize. It's not rude."

After hearing this, he smiled and asked, "You seem to be very angry because Gu Nanfeng called you a 'house dog' raised by the temple?"

Yao Jin was silent.

"In other words, the reason for your anger is...that is indeed the case."

There was no emotion in the Great Elder's tone.

He spoke slowly, with neither contempt nor sarcasm: "You have been guarding the secret cell in the temple for nearly ten years. When you were young, I threw you to Xihaidu to practice with Mu Xin... After you became an adult, you were still young. When you had time to stand under the light, you lost your legs due to the temple's poor decision-making. From then on, you could only spend a long and dark life in this wheelchair. Gu Nanfeng was not wrong when he called you a 'house dog' , after all, you have been chained to Xizhou since you were born, and you have never even left your home."

"...Great Elder, I am not angry because of this."

Yao Jin closed his eyes and his breathing was somewhat disordered.

He silently clasped his fingers together and said calmly: "As long as he can serve the light, no matter what the price, Yao Jin will not hesitate. A pair of broken legs is nothing."

He looked toward the end of the attic.

"I survived because you picked me up... If it weren't for your cultivation, Yao Jin would have died long ago."

The man in the wheelchair lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "I didn't take Gu Nanfeng's words to heart, but I can't accept this 'failure'."

"You shouldn't have let Uto show up."

The Great Elder said softly: "Since we have brought him back, the best way is to hide him completely... As long as Wutuo doesn't show up, who knows where he is?"

The great elder said gently: "What is flowing here... is the blood of the 'undead'. One side is input, and the other side is output."

Immortal? !

Yao Jin knew that with this legendary strange physique, the initial manifestation of the 【Immortal】 was no different from ordinary mortals. Many of them would not even realize that they had awakened...

But as long as they experience life and death, the 【Immortal】 will transform!

Their vitality and energy are far more vigorous than other extraordinary beings. Every time they are pulled back from the "death line", they will achieve major breakthroughs in mental and physical strength.

The temple has been looking for 【the undead】. As long as people with this kind of physique appear across the five continents, they will be found by the Holy Judge...

No one knows what the purpose of Guangming City’s search for the 【Undead】 is.

But now Yao Jin knows.

The Great Elder's body is in a state of decay. It is said that he is the earliest follower of the God of Light, has the most favors from the gods, and is the most powerful.

In a sense.

He is the most suitable "winner" for the bright fire.

But it's a pity that he is so old that he can't even lift a finger, let alone smelt fire.

"This body suffered heavy damage during the battle with Hades..."

The Great Elder murmured: "I have been infected with a 'disaster' that cannot be resolved in my life. If it were not for the Lord God's intervention, I would have died long ago. If I want to survive, I need the blood of the 【Undead】, a steady stream of blood. "

"I drain the old blood out of my body."

"Then this light capsule draws in the new blood of the undead."

"In this way, a large amount of disaster will leave the body with the old blood... But Pluto's attack has a 'karma lock'. If I don't find a new owner for this old blood, the disaster will come back to me. .”

"So... these old blood will be sent into the bodies of those undead."

The Great Elder spoke slowly, "Over the years, the temple has secretly collected more than a dozen 【immortals】. Now they are all dead, and my life is coming to an end."

"The undead, are all dead?"

Yao Jin was shocked by the secret told by the great elder.

In his impression, all the undead are top geniuses, including Fisher from Beizhou, Song Ci from Dongzhou, and Meng Xiao, the son of the former Bright Blessing!

Every time you die, you become stronger!

He couldn't help but ask: "Did these people... die of the ominous death of 'Pluto'?"

"Yes, not quite."

The great elder said: "The undead are not as powerful as you think. Everything has a balance, and everything has gains and losses. Although their vitality is tenacious, it also has limits. As long as that limit is broken, the undead will also die... They It's like an epiphyllum that suddenly appears in the dark night, but after it blooms, it will soon wither. No immortal lives forever."

"and."

"Many immortals... remain mortal throughout their lives."

The Great Elder said: "They don't encounter 'death', they are just ordinary people. The few undead people that the temple gave me blood transfusions had very weak resistance. They only had to transfuse blood back and forth a few times before they died of overwhelming weight." "

"..."

Yao Jin was a little absent-minded and murmured: "No wonder you rarely show up outside."

"In the battle with Hades, the Temple of Light suffered heavy losses... It is impossible for the outside world to know about this kind of thing."

The great elder sighed and said: "If I die early, who will take over the temple? Is it Yuan Yang?"

Over the years, every time he appeared, it was at a critical moment when he had to show up.

A large amount of 【Undead Blood】 was poured into the body.

He was able to leave the light cabin and move freely for a short period of time.

And now.

It's time for him to appear again... The Gu family delegation is about to arrive in Guangming City. As the grand elder of the temple, he will personally greet them and preside over the next "Fire Successor Trial".
