"Back then you were just a child. No one knew those secrets except those present. Everyone was put on a gag order. How did you find out?"
“Someone you wouldn’t expect,” Asha’s expression was complicated.
"Archangel, Raphael."
As the archangel who guarded the holy city for many years, no one knew the events of that year better than him.
As she tried to investigate Lü Cheng's identity, the archangel appeared, completely unconcerned about her background or that she was Wen Tai's adopted daughter.
He simply recounted everything from that year in a calm tone.
The goal was to get her to tell Lü Cheng everything herself.
Raphael's meaning was straightforward: the Holy City was not wrong, and Su Meng was not wrong either, as she wanted to save her husband.
The one who was wrong was Wen Tai, and the one who was wrong was Lü Chengze, who defied the Holy City's judgment.
Raphael didn't care what others thought, he didn't care, but that's just how he believed it.
That's why he let Su Meng leave the Holy City back then.
"A believer who has lost her way due to impulse needs time to calm down. God's light will eventually guide her to the holy temple."
These were Raphael's exact words, and she even had to admit that the archangel was serious.
Because of Su Meng's unique nature, she is like an extremely sharp sword; whoever holds the hilt can wield this deadly weapon!
Even today, the highest authority over Su Meng's weapon remains in the hands of the Holy City!
Why does the Holy City proclaim Su Meng as God's most loyal believer? This is not a joke, but because of the Holy City's special divine oath!
The vow Su Meng once made still exists to this day, and the backlash for breaking the vow would obliterate her soul. But after Su Meng went mad back then, she lived a good life!
Raphael and the other archangels firmly believed that the oath would not be wrong, so they thought Su Meng was not wrong!
Because if they think Su Meng is wrong, it's like questioning God!
Even the archangels wouldn't dare to have such thoughts, so they stubbornly shifted all the blame to the already deceased Wen Tai and the missing Lü Chengze.
But in fact?
Let's talk about those old stories later.
Lu Cheng interrupted the inexplicable standoff between Salang and Asha'ruya.
Strange, how did Asha Ruya know that Ye Chang was Salang?
She doesn't seem to know about these things yet, does she?
Moreover, Asha's talkativeness increased after meeting him.
It seems there are more secrets hidden in these old stories, but he's not interested in them now; he has more important things to do.
"And you, stop hiding." Lü Cheng looked towards another corner.
“They’ve been by my side ever since I arrived in the ancient capital. It’s not appropriate for them to keep hiding any longer, is it?”
Upon hearing this, both Asharuya and Lingxi were stunned.
Anyone else?
"I'm sorry to interrupt your reunion, Young Master Lü Cheng." A middle-aged man with silver-gray hair slowly emerged from the shadows.
"Xi Zhe?" Ling Xi was startled.
Xi Zhe has arrived, but where is Su Lu?
"Is there something you need?" Lu Cheng asked.
Xi Zhe, a forbidden spell mage under Su Lu.
“This city is about to be destroyed. I need to follow Mr. Su Lu’s instructions and bring you back safely,” Xi Zhe said calmly.
"Aren't you going to help?" Asha'ruya asked.
Xi Zhe is not only Su Lu's subordinate, but also a light-type forbidden spell mage of the Asian Magic Association. Moreover, he is not as crazy as Su Lu.
“I can’t help it,” Xizhe said.
Even though he was a forbidden spellcaster, he couldn't stop the movement of the Abyss of Evil; that thing was a true natural disaster.
“Young Master Lü Cheng, my spatial magic is ready. If you have any friends you wish to take with you, you can bring them over now,” Xi Zhe said.
“There’s no need. I don’t plan to leave.” Lü Cheng looked at Sha Yuan outside the city.
His shadowy soldiers just reported that the Supreme Magic Association rejected his request, and Asha's Ruya also passed on the information she knew to Han Ji. Now, those people are preparing to carry out their original plan.
Charge towards the Abyss of Evil!
“I’m sorry, Young Master Lü Cheng, it’s very dangerous here right now, I have to take you away,” Xi Zhe said.
"Are you planning to force me?" Lu Cheng asked.
“If necessary.” Xi Zhe’s expression remained unchanged.
"..."
"Wait a moment." Lu Cheng looked at the high-ranking mages who were collectively moving out of the sky.
"I have something I want to experiment with. Even if I have to leave, I'll have to wait until after I've finished my experiment."
"Is there any danger?" Xi Zhe asked.
“I haven’t lived enough yet,” Lü Cheng said.
Xi Zhe paused for a moment, then said, "After the golden barrier shatters, I will take you away whether you like it or not."
He could easily kill the eight fallen kings outside, but that would be meaningless. The Abyss of Evil is approaching, and the destruction of the ancient capital is inevitable.
Moreover, his actions will trigger many troublesome diplomatic issues.
"..."
Xi Zhe left, or perhaps he simply went into hiding, but at least he didn't openly step forward.
“There’s one more.” Lü Cheng looked around.
He could sense that someone was following him; ever since he arrived in the ancient capital, someone had been secretly following him.
Xi Zhe was one of them. Because they were too close and there was no deliberate concealment, he could sense Xi Zhe's location, but he couldn't find the location of the other one.
The spatial sensing is too chaotic!
The opponent is also a space-based being, and their control over space surpasses that of Xi Zhe!
A forbidden spell based on space?!
A spatial forbidden spell stronger than Xi Zhe's, and it's coming to the ancient capital at this time, could it be Sariel?
"There's one more?" Ling Xi's expression changed slightly, then she laughed.
"Su Meng!"
"You're already here, are you still going to hide?"
"..."
In the silent street, no one responded to Lingxi's loud laughter.
"She looks like an idiot," Lu Cheng remarked.
“A little,” Asha Riyah agreed.
It's embarrassing when no one listens to you when you speak.
"What do you plan to do?" Asha'ruya asked.
"Of course, it's to show off the heroic figure of the savior." Lu Cheng clenched his right fist and slammed it into the void in front of him. The space shattered, and a spatial gate exuding a deep and dark aura opened.
"Brother Dao, are you ready?"
"..."
On the other side of the portal, Dao Long, dressed in an ancient dark purple wizard's robe, twitched slightly at the corner of his eye.
Where's the sophistication I was promised?
Could you please use a different form of address?
"Ahem, Dark Archmage, are you ready?" Lu Cheng asked in a serious tone.
"Of course." Daolong slowly stepped out of the spatial gate.
The terrifying dark energy surrounding him shocked even Salang, a high-level shadow mage.
Another forbidden spell?
Xi Zhe, hidden in the shadows, also looked somewhat solemn.
This is no longer an aura that should belong to the Shadow element.
Forbidden technique! Dark forbidden technique!
Mr. Su Lu, it seems your nephew has come into contact with some dangerous entities...
