Chapter 518: Chapter 128 Valley of Destruction_2
Na Yan shook her head helplessly, patting Xuan Ye on the shoulder, and said, "I hope everything goes smoothly tomorrow." After speaking, she also returned to her own simple tent.
Ballon and Xuan Ye looked at each other, "Xuan Ye, your father-in-law is really getting old, he no longer has the sharpness he used to have. This time, let’s show off our skills. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a worthwhile opponent. Be careful tomorrow, don’t make me protect you, haha!" Feeling the deep friendship contained in Ballon’s tone, Xuan Ye smiled and said, "Who will protect who by then is still unknown, right? And don’t forget to help build some merit for your son. I can then talk to the Pope about his marriage to Yue Yue. I hope that girl Yue Yue can settle down sooner rather than later."
Ballon laughed heartily and said, "Ah, you’re good at everything, but you spoil your daughter too much. If it were me, I would never let her leave the church that easily."
With a helpless look, Xuan Ye said, "I’m already playing the role of a strict father pretty well. if Yue Yue were your daughter, I guess you’d be even more troubled. Can you blame me for her leaving the church this time? That was the Pope’s idea. Really, I wonder what his father is thinking. He seems to favor that silly Ah Dai."
Ballon’s face darkened, and he said, "Regardless, we must settle the marriage issue between your son and Yue Yue after we return this time. We can’t delay it anymore. If your lovely daughter and that boy named Ah Dai gets into some trouble, where will you hide your face?" Balloon worked tirelessly for his son’s happiness.
A hint of anger flashed in Xuan Ye’s eyes, "What nonsense are you talking about? Yue Yue may be naughty, but she still knows propriety. If she really messes up, even without your words, I’d personally execute her."
Regretting what he just said, Ballon quickly tried to appease Xuan Ye’s anger by saying, "Alright, don’t be angry. I misspoke earlier. Ah - I’m so worried about my son! Rest assured, when Yue Yue marries into our Ba Family, my son will treat her well. Then we will be not only brothers but also in-laws."
Xuan Ye’s look softened a bit, he glared at Ballon and said, "Ah, if only you could say some nice things. It would be nice if you brought your sister-in-law this time, I’d like to see if you’d still dare to be arrogant."
Hearing Xuan Ye mention his wife, Ballon immediately had a happy look on his face and murmured, "I wanted to bring her here too! But it’s too dangerous, how could I feel at ease? I can’t wait to get back to the church. Holding my wife feels the best." Xuan Ye laughed at his infatuated look, and images of Nasha’s beautiful figure appeared in his mind. He said, "Lower your voice, don’t let your subordinates hear you. If they knew our lofty Deputy Judge was like this, they would probably die laughing."
Ballon punched Xuan Ye in the shoulder and laughed, "Alright, enough with the jokes. Let’s go to bed too. We have a big battle waiting for us tomorrow." Saying this, he yawned and turned to leave.
Early the next morning, before dawn, the Winged Tribe had already sent four members of the Blue Feather Wingmen to guide the church members. After packing up, everyone returned to their ceremonial robes, Chief Judge Xuan Yuan, Deputy Judge Balloon, Red Robe Priest Na Yan, Xuan Ye, six White Priest Robes, four Holy Judges, twenty Judges of Light, as well as two hundred Judges of various levels, and a thousand Sacred Knights under the guidance of the Blue Feather Wingmen, they entered the territory of the Winged Tribe. Although the forest’s path was full of thorns and extremely difficult to walk, all the people from the church are highly skilled, that even an ordinary Sacred Knight wouldn’t think much of the rugged forest path, a group of more than a thousand people advanced at an astonishing speed. When they arrived at the Winged Forest, the dawn light had just appeared. Today there are a few clouds in the sky, and only a hint of dawn can be seen in the far-east horizon.
The Wing King had already assembled his troops, a hundred blue feathers, and five hundred red feathers, a total of six hundred winged tribes were floating on the treetops waiting for the arrival of Xuan Ye and others. As soon as they saw the church’s troop appear, the Wing King personally led two Silver Wing Elders to welcome them. After exchanging greetings, Xuan Ye introduced the people from the church to the Wing King one by one.
The Wing King looked at the sky and said, "While it’s still early, let’s set out immediately. The home of the Half-Beast is to the southeast, it will take approximately two hours to reach there at full speed from here. I will send out our best flyers to constantly keep an eye on their movements. If they make any moves, we will discover it in time." After speaking, he gestured to his subordinates. Instantly, more than ten Blue Feather Wingmen flew high into the sky, to scout the path ahead. All the winged tribesmen were on the move, flying low above the treetops, spread out in an array. Xuan Ye noticed that besides the long sword on the backs of these Blue and Red Feather Wingmen, there was also a short spear. He wondered what it was for. But this was a secret of the Winged Tribe, so he didn’t ask.
Na Yan carefully looked around, and said to Xuan Ye, "We must set off as soon as possible. Wing King, may we trouble you to lead the way."
The Wing King smiled slightly and said, "Don’t be so formal, Bishop Na Yan. Our coopertative fight benefits both sides, doesn’t it?" After saying this, he flew up and landed at the very front of the Winged Tribe, slowly leading them towards the southeast. Xuan Yuan waved his hand, and the people from the church advanced along with the Winged Tribe members from the forest.
