Light Fortress-Chapter 1506 - 215: The Great Existence

Qingzhong Cemetery, at sunset and twilight.

"Everyone, Lord Divine has already closed the Inner Ling, declining to meet anyone else."

The guardian of the Bai Family addressed the group of young people before him politely.

Especially the one dressed in white.

"...This is the Family Head’s intention."

The guardian paused and added gently, "Please do not make things difficult."

Bai Xiu, Shen Li, Gong Zi, Mu Nan, who usually were frequent guests at the Spring Temple, were now gathered at the cemetery. They stood here the entire day, from sunrise to near sunset. With their status, there was no place in all of Changye they couldn’t go, yet they couldn’t step into the Inner Ling of this cemetery.

They didn’t intend to force their way in, merely stating their purpose to the guardian, then stood still.

The entire cemetery, all of Changye, was under Mr. Bai Shu’s control.

Their first step into the cemetery had already been seen.

The Inner Ling showed no response, which was already the Divine Throne’s attitude. Bai Shu did not want to see anyone here, including Bai Xiu.

"Let’s go."

Shen Li tugged at Bai Xiu’s clothes, softly saying, "Little Xiuzi... stop standing here."

"Lord Divine, I do not understand your intention."

Bai Xiu remained unmoved, standing at the foot of Inner Ling Mountain, with thick mist before him. This was the place where he first encountered Gu Shen. But now, the figure he once saw distantly on the mountain had vanished into smoke.

He insisted on standing at the foot of the mountain, speaking across the Inner Ling to the Battle God Throne.

"The Source Tower grants the Lord of Wine, let go."

"The Storm Church’s poison harms life, destroys Sangzhou Cave, endure."

"Bai Xiu understands that the big picture takes precedence, and that these emotions can be ignored."

"But now that Gu Shen is dead, such things... in your eyes, are they also matters that can be endured? Those who complete the fire seed truly obliterate their humanity and extinguish their emotion?"

These words caused the guardian of the Bai Family to change his expression drastically. To speak to the Divine Throne in such a manner outside the mausoleum, and in front of everyone, was a great disrespect!

"..."

At the Skytop of Qingzhong, the Divine Radiance and the breeze surged together, not changing a bit due to Bai Xiu’s outraged questioning.

The guardian, seeing the Divine Radiance as usual, felt slightly relieved.

The Divine Throne was indifferent.

He quickly muttered in a low voice, "Bai Xiu... what are you doing, do you know what you are saying? Leave immediately!"

"Whoosh!"

At that moment, a figure swiftly approached from outside the cemetery; it was Bai Xiaochi, the current Bai Family Master. Bai Xiaochi arrived before Outer Tomb Mountain, seeing several people gathered, sighed lightly at heart, and after landing, he positioned himself between the guardian and Bai Xiu. The guardian’s anger subsided by thirty percent upon seeing the Family Head, and he retreated to stand at the edge of the cemetery mist.

Upon landing, Bai Xiaochi first performed a full-sleeve bow of Changye. Typically, he would merely bend slightly, but today his bow was nearly to the ground.

Then Bai Xiaochi softly spoke, "Lord Divine... Bai Xiu is young and impetuous, lacking in manners. If there was any offense, please forgive him."

The Divine Radiance roiled at the Skytop.

Still indifferent, still unconcerned, only now the breeze sweeping through the cemetery fluttered twice like the wave of a sleeve.

The meaning was clear.

Go on.

Bai Xiaochi led the young people away, not forgetting to bow as they left the cemetery.

Upon leaving the cemetery, his gentle expression faded, as he looked at Bai Xiu, frowning, "Why did you do something so reckless?"

"I acted from the heart."

Bai Xiu’s expression remained unchanged, even now he did not regret his earlier actions, looking up at the Family Head, he calmly said, "My heart is troubled, my chest full of anger, should I keep it bottled up? Besides, about the Southern Continent... if I don’t ask the Divine Throne, who else can I ask?"

Bai Xiaochi was left speechless by these words.

After a long while, he sighed with lowered eyebrows, "Lord Divine naturally knows everything... but you shouldn’t act like this in the future, it’s not right."

"Heh."

Bai Xiu gave a light chuckle, a hint of teasing in his laughter.

"I came this time to tell you all... this matter is not over."

Bai Xiaochi took out a paper document from his sleeve, and also transmitted an image to everyone through spiritual power.

"Changye has decided to launch an investigation. We believe Gu Shen’s death was not by accident or coincidence... But since Sangzhou Cave has been destroyed, this case has almost no evidence, and the possibility of finding the truth is very slim."

After a slight pause.

Bai Xiaochi continued, "So even if we launch an investigation, there may not be any results."

"I will personally lead the ’investigation team.’"

Bai Xiaochi looked at the group, calmly saying, "The investigation into this matter will continue until the truth is uncovered. The three schools and five families’ highest leaders will provide unlimited resource support... by the way, this is under the guidance of Lord Divine."

This is the guidance of the Divine Throne? Bai Xiu glanced toward the Divine Radiance of the cemetery, his expression complex.

Shen Li was the first to speak.

"Is there a need for more people? I want to join the investigation team."

Little Iron Man’s mission was already completed, he had safely delivered the Divine Infant to the East Continent, and the neutral organization has taken over the follow-up; now he suddenly found himself "idle."

He carried the netherworld fire of the Netherworld King and had just become an Angel Envoy, but in a blink of an eye became "all alone."

Another Angel Envoy, Mu Wanqiu, returned directly to the North Continent after the Sangzhou Cave mission, and due to the disappearance of the authority leader, neither of them could establish spiritual contact... in fact, there wasn’t much to discuss between the two.
