Blue Star, North Leaf Province, Red City City, Maple Leaf Town, Old Bai's Tavern!
A blue-haired girl was fiddling with her phone, looking quite annoyed.
"Damn it, this guy has been missing for twelve days, where did he go?"
Her name is Lan Yue, a member of the Light Revival Sect, and the No. 2 Black Robe at the White Moonlight Bar that day.
Although she hated the Light Revival Sect to the core and wished she could grind its bones to dust and exterminate it completely.
However, she had relatives in the hands of the Light Revival Sect, and even if she was unwilling, she had to complete the Light Revival Sect's mission.
If the mission fails, the Light Revival Sect will not harm her, but her family will inevitably suffer.
Her original mission was to track Ling Yi, but a week ago, her mission was changed to kidnapping or killing Ling Yi.
Although she strongly disliked this task, she had no choice.
Just then, two young men dressed in flashy clothes walked towards her.
Lan Yue was very beautiful, and because she possessed water-based superpowers, her temperament was extraordinary, which naturally attracted the attention of some people in the tavern.
However, most people only glance at it from afar, enjoy the visual spectacle, and at most think about it briefly.
But as I said before, there are always some fools in this world who are oblivious to their own mortality.
Lan Yue, who was already in a bad mood, felt even worse when she saw the two young men approaching.
Feeling disgusted, before the two could even get close, Lan Yue used her special ability, flicking her finger and sending two wisps of cold air landing on the two unfortunate souls.
" Awakened? Awakened?"
The two unlucky guys felt the surrounding air temperature drop suddenly, and their bodies began to stiffen. They exhaled cold air, and in the blink of an eye, a layer of Bing Shuang formed on their bodies.
Lan Yue didn't intend to kill them, but those two bursts of cold energy were not something an ordinary person could withstand.
I estimate that he'll fall seriously ill after returning home.
"Get out!" Lan Yue said coldly.
The two young men didn't dare to say another word and ran out of the tavern, trembling.
The entire tavern fell silent; no one dared to look at Lan Yue anymore.
Although the Guardian Army has long had regulations that Awakened cannot attack ordinary people, this kind of brain-dead person who is courting death is a different story.
Just then, Lan Yue received a message on her phone with a red cesium double snake icon.
This kind of information usually only appears when a major event occurs in the Light Revival Sect, or when the top leadership makes adjustments.
After reading the information above, Lan Yue jumped to her feet and exclaimed, "Holy crap, how is this possible?"
After saying that, he ignored the reactions of those around him and ran out of the tavern without even paying the bill.
Lan Yue had just returned to her car when her phone rang.
"Sis, you've received the news too, right?" A slightly immature young voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What exactly happened?"
"I contacted Smoker, and he said it's true. Those old guys should arrive in Maple Leaf Town Maple Leaf Town by tomorrow night at the latest. I'm heading there now, and I expect to arrive this afternoon."
Okay, I'll contact you then.
After hanging up the phone, Lan Yue looked towards Maple Leaf Mountain, her eyes filled with astonishment.
She pondered for a moment, seemed to have made a decision, gritted her teeth, then started the car and drove towards Maple Leaf Mountain.
At the foot of Maple Leaf Mountain, in Ling Yi's home.
A green Teleport Gate appeared out of thin air, and Ling Yi walked out of it while hiccuping from drinking.
He took out his phone and checked the time.
"Oh, the coordinate anchor point has... hiccup, there's an error. Hmm, adjusting it forward by 0.2 ticks will fix it."
Logically, Ling Yi should have returned to the moment before he left, but unexpectedly, twelve days had passed. However, since this was his first time traversing across latitudes, some error was normal.
It won't happen again next time.
As soon as Ling Yi finished speaking, his phone started ringing with a series of notification sounds.
In the blink of an eye, the number of messages had increased to 99+. Before Ling Yi could even check the message content, Thor Zhuo Wanling called.
"Damn it, you finally answered the phone! Where have you been? Don't you know the entrance trials for the Awakened School are about to begin?"
"It hasn't even started yet. I went out for a bit, what's the big deal?"
"Don't you know how hard it is to get this spot? I was the one who submitted your name. If it goes to waste, the principal will skin me alive!"
"Hmm, and then?"
"..."
Zhuo Wanling was speechless. "And then? Aren't you going to give me a reasonable explanation?"
So all that worrying he'd had these past few days was for nothing?
Doesn't that nonchalant tone show any consideration for other people's feelings?
"Don't go out too much these next few days. I'll come pick you up the Acquired."
"Alright, I have a call coming in. That's all."
The caller was Shen Qingyi. In the past, Ling Yi probably wouldn't have answered the call.
But this trip to the Beast Emperor World made Ling Yi realize a truth.
He's capable of protecting Shen Qingyi, so why complicate a simple matter?
For Ling Yi, Shen Qingyi was more than family; she was like an older sister to him.
"Sister!"
" Ling Yi, are you alright? I've been sending you messages these past few days but you haven't replied, and your phone is out of service. Did something happen?" Shen Qingyi's voice sounded noticeably tired.
This made Ling Yi feel even more guilty.
"Sorry!"
"Why should I apologize? Everyone has their own choices, and I should respect that."
"I bought a big house in Maple Leaf Town, sister. I miss your braised pork."
"Okay, I'll go tomorrow morning!"
After hanging up the phone, Ling Yi grinned foolishly. He planned to get some life-saving equipment for Shen Qingyi tonight, so he wouldn't have to worry about Shen Qingyi safety while he was at the Awakened School.
After hanging up the phone, Ling Yi suddenly shivered, and then felt the air in the room begin to drop Rapid Speed.
Moreover, the temperature drops extremely quickly. If there were a thermometer in the room, you would find that the temperature dropped from 18 degrees Celsius to below -100 degrees Celsius in the blink of an eye.
Ling Yi was promptly frozen into an ice sculpture.
At this moment, an ice flower fell from the sky, and as it reached mid-air, the number of ice flowers suddenly increased. Amidst the swirling snowflakes, a beautiful figure appeared out of thin air.
This special effect is awesome.
Lan Yue looked at Ling Yi, her Guangzhi filled with incomprehension, disdain, disbelief, and indescribable...
"No way, he's dead? No way, I was just curious and testing him out, no!" Lan Yue's face showed some fear.
She quickly activated her supernatural ability, and the temperature in the room began to rise slowly. Ling Yi, who was originally Freeze, gradually recovered from his Freeze state.
However, his body was stiff, his breathing had stopped, and his heart had stopped beating; he appeared to be completely cold.
"Hey, I was just curious and testing you out, don't actually die!"
Lan Yue shook Ling Yi's shoulders, her voice trembling with tears.
Seeing that Ling Yi wasn't responding, Lan Yue panicked. She quickly carried Ling Yi Ling Yi to the bedroom, helping him move his arms and performing CPR by pressing on his chest...
After working for a full half hour, seeing that Ling Yi really didn't move, Lan Yue sat in the corner of the bedroom with a look of despair, buried her head in her knees, and sobbed.
At this moment, Ling Yi sat up from the bed and looked at Lan Yue expressionlessly.
Ling Yi knew Lan Yue; he knew it from the very first day Ling Yi Lan Yue investigated him.
However, Ling Yi ignored it at the time. In Ling Yi's view, this was just a small player in the Light Revival Sect. The Big Fish hadn't come out yet. He could investigate if he wanted, or follow if he wanted.
They'll make their move eventually anyway, then we can wipe them all out in one fell swoop.
However, Lan Yue's actions completely baffled Ling Yi.
Shouldn't you have Light Revival Sect to kill me? Why are you more heartbroken than I am about to die?
Out of curiosity, Ling Yi had just thoroughly investigated Lan Yue and the Light Revival Sect.
However, the results of the investigation surprised Ling Yi somewhat.
The Light Revival Sect is actually Shadow by the Beast Emperor Universe.
However, this is understandable. After all, it's a life-or-death battle between two worlds, so it's understandable to engage in some underhanded tactics.
Ling Yi didn't believe that Blue Star hadn't taken similar actions.
What truly angered Ling Yi were those traitors.
The followers of the Light Revival Sect are spread all over the world, and its leader is a powerful figure from the Beast Emperor Civilization who possesses the ability to Transformation.
Below the leader are twelve Deacon Elder, and below each Deacon Elder are twenty-four Divine General, and below each Divine General are thirty-six Divine Envoy.
Each Divine Envoy has anywhere from a hundred to over a thousand followers.
Tragically, apart from the leader who was from the Beast Emperor Civilization, everyone else was a human from Blue Star.
In other words... a traitor.
Furthermore, they were all Awakened.
In other words, there are millions of Awakened within the Light Revival Sect.
How many Awakened are there on the entire Blue Star? Only a little over 80 million.
That's truly a sad statistic.
Lan Yue is one of the Thirty-Six Divine Envoy.
Although most of these followers are coerced, some are controlled by drugs, and some have relatives or friends controlled, no matter the reason, millions of traitors is an extremely terrible and tragic number.
Among them, twelve elders and twenty-four Divine General voluntarily joined the Light Revival Sect and willingly became traitors.
Ling Yi didn't know how to describe his current feelings. He wasn't angry, nor was he disappointed; he just felt a bit annoyed.
Now, the leader of the Light Revival Sect has become Ling Yi.
To be precise, it was the Beast Emperor Civilization that handed over the Light Revival Sect to Ling Yi.
On one hand, it was to show goodwill, and on the other hand, it was to let Ling Yi know their attitude.
"Don't cry, I'll have your family released later!"
Lan Yue was startled when she heard Ling Yi's voice. When she looked up, she saw Ling Yi staring at her.
You're not dead?
What do you think?
"So what you just said was true?"
"Okay, you can go now!"
This Lan Yue is truly pitiful; she awakened her water-based superpowers at the age of sixteen.
Moreover, its Fusion rate reached an astonishing 70%, making it extremely powerful.
The body can not only transform into Element, but also switch between different states.
Water, ice, fog, air... He is called the Ice Emperor. Well, calling him the Water Emperor, Fog Emperor, or Air Emperor doesn't sound very good. Ice Emperor sounds more sophisticated.
Although everyone knew she hated the Light Revival Sect, she was still appointed as Divine Envoy, and her strength certainly qualified her for it, even though Lan Yue herself never acknowledged the identity of Divine Envoy.
Not long after Lan Yue awakened, her family was kidnapped by the Light Revival Sect, and from then on, Lan Yue became a worker for the Light Revival Sect.
Seeing the distrustful look in Lan Yue's eyes, Ling Yi picked up his phone and called the leader of the Light Revival Sect —well, the former leader—on speakerphone.
" Batelai, I am Ling Yi!"
"Lord Ling Yi!" Batelai's tone on the other end of the phone was extremely respectful.
"You can come here yourself. Tell everyone else to go back home. I can't be bothered with these traitors."
"Yes, Lord Ling Yi!"
"Also, release Lan Yue's family!"
After a pause, Ling Yi asked curiously, "Your name is Batelai, what's your relationship with Bartley?"
"Sir, Bartley is my brother..."
