Chapter 1290: Chapter 119: Soul Magic_5
Xuan Yue stood up, carefully pondering Elder Tian Luo’s words. Only now did she finally grasp the terrifying scope of the millennium catastrophe. From her youth, she had never been interested in the ecclesiastical affairs of the church. Even when Prophet Pu Lin mentioned she and Ah Dai were to be the saviors of the continent, she didn’t take it too seriously. But at this moment, she had a sudden revelation that her and Ah Dai’s lives were not so simple, and perhaps it was indeed the will of the heavens that they were destined to save the humans of the continent. What awaited them, just as Prophet Pu Lin had foretold, was obstacle upon obstacle. Could she and Ah Dai truly succeed in traversing them all?
The four elders and Di Ya personally escorted them to the entrance of the parlor. Elder Tian Luo said, "As we part, I give you a piece of advice: go with the flow and enhance your cultivation. The will of the heavens cannot be defied, and what is to come cannot be stopped by anyone. You can only continuously improve yourselves so that when calamity strikes, you will possess the strength to resist. Never be complacent; the path ahead of you is long. Xuan Re, should you meet His Holiness the Pope, send our regards from the four old souls, and tell him we still think of him. We’ve grown old and likely won’t have the chance to see him again."
Xuan Yue looked at the four mysterious elders before her, her heart surging with emotions. They not only knew Prophet Pu Lin, but were also acquainted with her grandfather—the Pope. It seemed that in the past, they surely were influential figures who had made their mark on the continent. She couldn’t help but ask, "Elder, how did you recognize us as the ones Prophet Pu Lin spoke of? Is it simply because I hold the position of a sacrificer?"
Elder Tian Luo smiled softly and said, "The union of kindness and malice, the unification of light and darkness, led by the Phoenix’s Blood through countless barriers, bound by the Dragon’s Blood, love eternal. When you were attacked by our Soul Speech, the Dragon’s Blood and Phoenix’s Blood revealed your identities. Now you understand, don’t you?"
Xuan Yue then came to a sudden realization and slightly bowed saying, "Elders, please take care. We must leave now, and should there be an opportunity in the future, we will seek your guidance on Soul Magic."
Ah Dai, feeling respect for the four powerful individuals who could defeat him, bowed alongside Xuan Yue. As they turned to leave, they heard Di Ya’s call, "Wait a moment." Di Ya stepped out from behind the elders, approaching Xuan Yue with a slightly blushing face. She took out a short sword from within her robes and handed it to Xuan Yue, her voice soft and low, "This Dagger was given to me by my teacher. You’re a Magician, use it to protect yourself." With her beautiful eyes expressing emotion, the ruler of nearly ten million Yajin Tribe members revealed an unmistakably coy charm on her face.
Xuan Yue unconsciously accepted the Dagger, not yet grasping Di Ya’s intentions, and with a smile said, "Sister, thank you. If there’s a chance in the future, we’ll surely come back to see you." She didn’t view herself as a woman, and simply saw Di Ya’s gesture as a friendly gift. Ah Dai, standing beside her, secretly rejoiced for "Xuan Re". The Clan Leader of the Yajin Tribe was indeed a suitable match for his brother.
Under the watchful gaze of Di Ya and the four elders, Ah Dai and the others vanished into the night. In Di Ya’s eyes shimmered a misty look, as Xuan Yue’s handsome figure lingered in her mind, the first person ever to enter her heart. Elder Tian Luo, seeing Di Ya’s demeanor, trembled slightly with realization. With his experience, he naturally understood that Di Ya had mistaken Xuan Yue’s identity. But he did not clarify, believing in fate, thinking that the Sky God ordained these events in the profoundness of destiny. With a silent sigh, he thought, let it be natural. With that in mind, he said, "Clan Leader, with matters concluded here, we shall take our leave." After speaking, the four elders bowed slightly to Di Ya and headed towards their dwelling within the hidden recesses of the Clan Leader’s Mansion.
Di Ya came back to her senses and turned to enter her chamber, her agitated spirit gradually calming. She whispered, "Elder brothers, you may come out now."
Lian Dan and Zhu Yuan emerged with gentle smiles, gazing at their younger sister. Di Ya, watched by her elder brothers, felt unsettled, with blush rising on her cheeks once more, she complained, "Elder brothers, why do you look at me like that?" Her coyness made her even more enchanting, and both Lian Dan and Zhu Yuan were momentarily captivated.
Lian Dan laughed heartily and said, "We’re observing what our little sister looks like upon finding love! Well, little sister, you’ve got good taste indeed, that young man named Xuan Re is certainly a good match for you. Such a young Mage, I’ve never even heard of it before. If you and he were to come together, with the formidable power of the church as support, the Yajin Tribe wouldn’t have to worry at all."
Di Ya’s face turned beat red, her head lowered as she muttered, "Big brother, you’re annoying, why do you tease me like that? I, I haven’t..."
