316. Falling into darkness

The news that Elder Leyton wanted Master Mundi's family had just come, and Mundi's family immediately began to prepare to move to his secret residence.

However, pieces of secret information were sent from unknown places and placed in front of Elder Leyton's desk. It was the movements of Mundi's family!

Based on this information, Elder Leyton sent troops everywhere and actually captured Master Mundi's other two sons and two wives! And the four of them were thrown into prison for treason and awaited punishment.

Elder Leyton once again sent an ultimatum to Master Mundi, asking him to go to Tekav City in person immediately to explain the matter in person.

As soon as this incident came out, almost everyone in Cerea looked at Elder Leyton with hatred, and even many of his troops defected.

Ji-Adi-Master Mundi is a highly respected and generous man with the air of an elder. Even after joining Jedi Order, he still did not forget the people of Cerea. When faced with many crises, he ran around and even risked his life, ultimately protecting the safety of Cerea.

He hopes that Cerea can follow tradition and maintain his simple lifestyle. He hopes that industrial pollution will not destroy the beautiful scenery of the planet. Regardless of whether this concept is still accepted by others, every Cerean citizen is still proud of Master Mundi.

But Lydon has fallen into madness at this time, and his fanaticism for power has made him unable to listen to any advice! Under the guidance of Das-Malthael, he has completely believed that base-Adi-Master Mundi is the last obstacle on his way to the peak of power!

He even had a dream, in which he dreamed that Master Mundi's head was brought to him by his men, and then a gleaming golden transport ship descended from the sky, the hatch opened, and countless tanks were placed majestically, waiting for his review.

Yes! Master Mundi! He is the idol and belief of the Cerea people! Such a person shouldn't be alive! Only dead idols are good idols! Kill Mundi, and then after those ignorant people see themselves destroying Elder Dor like a torrent, they can only offer their loyalty to themselves!

Master Mundi, who was meditating, was furious when he heard the news. His first thought was to rush into Tekav City and kill Lydon! Save your wife and children!

But he immediately suppressed his emotional fluctuations. He immediately contacted his other wives and children and asked them to come over and join him. Afterwards, he used the communication to notify Elder Leyton, telling him that he was willing to come to Tekav City, and the two would talk face to face.

However, just when he thought he had arranged everything, a strong premonition of crisis suddenly came. Master Mundi followed the Force's instructions and walked out of the secluded woods, but only saw a large group of gang members and the bounty Hunter rushing toward him viciously!

Master Mundi, who was worried about his family, could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He pulled out Lightsaber and rushed forward!

At the same time, Coruscant and Jedi Temple were in the towers.

Master Yoda, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. He stood up from his seat, looked into the distance, and then said in a deep voice, "Prepare the spaceship, immediately."

"What happened? Master Yoda." Master Windu asked.

"Cerea, Master Mundi." Master Yoda said as he walked, "I must go in person."

The shuttle quickly passed through the hyperspace channel, spanning a distance of thousands of light years, and arrived at Cerea. Looking through the porthole, you can see the blue sea and lush land on this planet. This is really an extremely beautiful planet.

But Master Yoda had no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery. He just drove the shuttle to accelerate. The spacecraft entered the atmosphere like a meteor, and then flew directly towards the castle!

The shuttle landed, and Master Yoda jumped in before the door was fully opened. He saw a large crowd of people gathered outside a house in the castle, including Cerean and people from other planets, but they were all pointing in the middle and talking.

Master Yoda sighed, and he raised his hand and waved lightly. The crowd around him seemed to feel a refreshing breeze blowing by, and they involuntarily made way for a passage.

At the door of the house, there were more than a dozen corpses lying around, and in the middle there was a large and rough corpse of Chevin - a race that was somewhat similar to the elephants on earth.

And Ji-Adi-Master Mundi was sitting on his knees in front of the house, with Lightsaber in front of him.

Even though he felt the arrival of Master Yoda, Master Mundi still didn't say a word. He just knelt and sat there, motionless, like a piece of Rock.

Master Yoda sighed and walked forward slowly, "Master Mundi. It shouldn't be like this, what you did. You deviated from your true heart, your the Force. Anger, sadness, pain, I feel it. You will be tempted by Dark Side."

"His name is Yifent-Meng, a gang leader under Jabba." Master Mundi answered the question incorrectly, "He sent his men to kidnap my wife and children, and even To kill me. I am not afraid of death, Master Yoda, but I am afraid of losing my wife and children again, because Sylvn has been assassinated by them, by this Chevin!"

"The temptation is everywhere, Dark Side. It makes you afraid of losing the feelings of your loved ones. You did well, you used to. But now..." Master Yoda shook his head and sighed again.

"I still have two wives and two sons in the hands of Elder Leyton. I want to save them. Even if my career in Jedi Order is ruined, I will not hesitate to save them." Master Mundi said, "I feel your arrival, Master Yoda. I want to say goodbye to you..."

"Go back to Jedi Temple, now. I will rescue your wife and children." Master Yoda said decisively.

"But I..."

Master Yoda raised his hand, and a peaceful the Force enveloped Master Mundi, as if all the darkness in his body was washed away. Master Mundi seemed to be in pain at first, but he endured it forcefully, and then his brows relaxed.

He bowed deeply to Master Yoda and said, "Yes, Master Yoda. I will return to Jedi Temple, spend my life exploring the essence of the Force, and never set foot in this galaxy again."

Master Yoda nodded, he thought for a while, and suddenly asked Master Mundi's back, "Yifent-Meng is the murderer, who said that?"

Master Mundi stopped, thought for a moment, and then said, "I was attacked when I was outside the woods. It was one of the bounty Hunter who said."

"Well... a hired bounty Hunter knows such a confidential thing..." Master Yoda pondered.
