Chapter 107: Chapter 26 Tilu Temple_1
Last to be checked was Ah Dai, who nervously approached, suddenly he was hit by an unusually immense pressure that nearly impeded his breathing. It seemed like it was going to crush him. The twenty Tilu warriors around him stirred slightly. Yet, just when Ah Dai thought that his Sword of Hades might be discovered, his chest’s Sword of Hades suddenly sent out a violent wave of energy. An extremely cold energy enveloped his whole body instantly, the surrounding pressure disappeared all at once. A stone on top of the temple door suddenly began to smoke, with a crunching sound. This startled Ah Dai, he thought the temple had detected the weapon on him, and quickly reached towards the chest. Although he had only attempted to practice the technique of Nether Flash once, he felt as though he could manage to wield this technique.
The Tilu warriors around him did not move anymore and remained in the same spot, holding their axes. Ah Dai swiftly entered the Tilu Temple and breathed a sigh of relief. His innerwear drenched in cold sweat, he was alarmed thinking why on earth had he intended to use the Sword of Hades. If the Sword of Hades was unsheathed, the Ultimate Evil Power would have been unleashed, probably killing all twenty Tilu warriors around him. Perhaps, that inexplicable pressure was pushing him to use the Sword of Hades. Letting go of his chest, Ah Dai took a deep breath to settle his restlessness, and quickly caught up with Xuan Yue.
Inside the temple, there was a long, narrow corridor with a torch placed every ten meters on each side. As the glow of the torches was not bright, the corridor seemed quite dark. Everyone was very careful, they scrutinized their surroundings as they walked. Everyone felt as if they were under scrutiny, as if the temple contained some special type of energy.
Xuan Yue turned her head back to see Ah Dai catching up and quietly asked, "Why are you so slow?"
Ah Dai shook his head, responding, "It’s nothing, let’s hurry up. Yue Yue, don’t you think this place is quite mysterious?"
Xuan Yue nodded, feeling the Phoenix’s Blood on her chest heating up. She whispered, "This temple seems to contain a unique, huge energy."
Yan Ju seemed to notice Ah Dai and Xuan Yue’s conversation, he glared at them, and Ah Dai immediately fell silent, refraining from speaking further.
Following a few turns inside the temple with Yan Ju and Yan Li, they walked into a sudden open and broad space. After moving forward for several meters, the surroundings suddenly became extremely spacious, with torches disappearing from both sides. Yan Ju and Yan Li stopped in their tracks. In a respectful tone Yan Li said, "Clan Leader, we have brought them here."
Suddenly, a rustling sound was heard, and the surroundings suddenly lit up, dozens of giant torches were lit at the same time. It appeared to be a hall of several hundred square meters. There were hundreds of Tilu warriors standing on both sides of the hall, similar to the warriors outside, they all held large long-handled axes. In front, there was a ten meter high platform with two people standing on it. One was a tall Pu Yan, who appeared to be around sixty years old. His tall figure was covered under a gray robe, with his brown hair draped over his back. His gleaming eyes made Ah Dai and the others feel very uncomfortable. The person next to him was cloaked in a black robe, making it impossible to see his face, yet looked like a magician, giving an eerie vibe.
The elder in the gray robe gestured, and Yan Ju and Yan Li retreated to the side, bowing their heads with an utmost respectful expression.
"Foreigners, greetings, and welcome to the Tilu Temple of our Pu Yan tribe. I am Yan Fei, the clan leader of the Pu Yan Tribe, and here is the Prophet Pu Lin of our tribe. What happened to my son Yan Shi is something no one would want to see, he is still in a stupor. Earlier Yan Li had lost his cool and attempted to harm you, on his behalf I apologize. Now, please detail the process of your encounter with my son and leave nothing out." The expression on Yan Fei’s face was very solemn, apparently saddened by his son’s plight.
Listening Yan Fei speaking so politely, Moon Scar breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward, and said, "Honourable Pu Yan Clan leader, greetings. We are all mercenaries who were planning to complete a mercenary task at the Tian Yuan Clan, and passed by the Noble Domain on our way,..." Moon Scar was very good at expressing and described in detail about how they encountered Yan Shi and everything that followed afterward.
After listening to Moon Scar’s account, Yan Fei fell into deep contemplation. After a while, he turned towards the man in the black robe and said, "Prophet Pu Lin, what is your opinion on this matter."
The solemn and aged voice echoed throughout the hall, "Clan Leader, with my abilities, I can only sense some image of future, but cannot judge all things. I have checked the bodies of Yan Shi and Yun Er. We can be sure that these foreigners are not the killers of Yun Er. Can’t you see that they are all innocent? Remember I had once predicted that Yan Shi would face a crisis in his 26th year. Although this crisis did cause great harm to Yan Shi, his life is not in danger. At the time of the crisis, it would also be the beginning of his rebirth. He will meet a benefactor in his life. That benefactor would be the one who could bring a weapon into the temple. As long as that benefactor is here, Yan Shi will be safe. However, if the murderer kills Yan Shi before he regains consciousness, then Yan Shi will forever be in Hell, unable to reincarnate."
