Chapter 294: This Lord is Coming Soon!
Tonight, Liang Qiu Yu and Bai Gu Fei hurried to my house. After gathering a group of people, they didn't discuss much before leaving in a rush. Fu Song went along, and I also sent Wang Yi away to find Dr. Zhang.
Xue Er was not around, and aside from Pei Zi and the others, we couldn't contact the higher-ups of the Azure Dragon. I regretted not sending some people from the Spirit Department to protect them when we were in the Flower Mountain maze.
Have I really overestimated them? How many days have passed since we came out, and they still haven't returned? Could something really have happened!?
Thinking about this made my heart sink; I suddenly recalled when I met up with my dad! Even those powerful individuals fell inside, let alone Pei Zi and the others!
Feeling uneasy, I quickly ran over to Lime and expressed my concerns. After hearing me out, Lime furrowed his brow slightly.
"How about we go back to Flower Mountain? So many days have passed without food, and the tomb is so dangerous; I'm worried they might not be able to hold on." Moreover, after the last incident, the first level was completely submerged, and they would need to find another way out.
Just as Lime nodded in agreement, my phone rang. To my surprise, it was Xianxian. I immediately answered without waiting for him to speak and asked directly, "Have you dealt with Black Blade yet?"
"Hey, don't you think our League of Shadows has been too quiet lately? A few Stray Cats and Dogs dare to cause trouble for us!" Xianxian said indignantly.
"Stray Cats and Dogs?" I twitched my mouth and couldn't help but retort, "I remember some people seem to have come from that so-called Stray Cats and Dogs organization!"
"Cough cough..." On the other end, Xianxian pretended to cough twice and feigned ignorance, saying, "Oh really? Who do you mean by certain people?"
Although he asked this way, he clearly didn't give me time to respond and continued, "I heard your dad left; why didn't you go with him?"
"I was just about to tell you that I was getting ready to find the Azure Dragon with Lime. You know how big the Golden Eagle Sect is; their numbers must be several times ours. Not to mention that guy Lan Hao, who has an unknown background; even my dad plans to take them all down."
"So, as the leader of the 'Dragons,' it is absolutely impossible for the Azure Dragon to reap the benefits without putting in effort, right?" Xianxian continued.
"Yes, the disappearance of the Golden Eagle Sect ultimately benefited them the most. Why should they not contribute?" Just thinking about this made me angry. The Azure Dragon, also known as the Demon Clan—oh no, I should say the Moon Pearl Pavilion Clan now—clearly had the absolute power to change everything. Even though their strength has weakened now, they still hold many clues in their hands, such as how to open the Divine Tree Gate and the Underground Map. If only they were willing to share even a little with us, Xue Er would not have died, and Pei Zi and the others would not have fallen into danger!
Over the past two thousand years, how many innocent lives have been lost due to that elusive lie? They clearly know the truth, yet not a single person has stepped forward to clarify it—silence! Only silence remains! I even began to doubt who spread that lie a thousand years ago...
"Pei Zi and the others haven't come out yet, have they? Could it be... you guys?!" Xianxian suddenly thought of a possibility, her tone filled with astonishment.
I nodded. No wonder she was my iron buddy who had survived countless dangers; she really understood me. "That's right, we are preparing to go back again!" I had already memorized all the routes in the Underworld. This time, if we went in again, it would definitely not be as chaotic as before.
"Sigh." Xianxian sighed, possibly contemplating something. After a while, she said, "Give me twenty minutes; this Lord will be there soon!"
"You?"
Before I could finish my sentence, Xianxian exclaimed, "How could I miss such an important moment!"
Hehe! I really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This unfortunate kid was clearly busy but still wanted to join us on Flower Mountain. I wouldn't praise him for being so loyal because I was sure that a big part of his reason was that he didn't want to deal with all those tedious matters, so he used this excuse to come along with us.
True to her word, in twenty minutes, Xianxian rushed over in a convertible, dressed in casual clothes and wearing large sunglasses—fashionable and trendy. Anyone who didn't know might think she was heading off on vacation! In reality, she looked just like a Tomb Raider!
"Let's go! What are we waiting for?" Xianxian elegantly took off her sunglasses and raised an eyebrow with a flirtatious expression.
I shrugged helplessly. During the time waiting for Pei Zi and Xianxian, I had prepared quite a lot of good supplies—food, clothing, and other necessities were all abundant.
Now the only concern was that everyone must not get separated because most of the supplies were with me. If everyone scattered, it wouldn't matter how much we had; it would all be useless.
Once again, it was a tense and busy journey. Looking out the window at the fleeting buildings and plants made my eyes blur and my mind feel chaotic. Whenever I thought of Flower Mountain, an image would flash in my mind: a beam of light descending from the sky into a dark tomb, where the only thing visible in the light was a coffin. Inside that coffin, the two skeletons embracing each other were so dazzling... so heart-wrenching and moving.
If there is anything that makes me feel heartbroken and touched besides those skeletons embracing each other, it is undoubtedly Xue Er's sacrifice!
Curiosity killed the cat.
Curiosity is what allows lies to persist and sacrifices to continue.
But what happens after we know the outcome?
What can we do? We are powerless; even though we know everything, we still lack the ability to change anything. We can only watch helplessly as those poor souls remain trapped in lies and desires.
What they seek in faith is nothing but an illusory thing. When will this "war" come to an end? When will the lies be dismantled?
As long as the Divine Sign exists, as long as humanity exists, there will always be conflict! Right now, it's just some petty squabbles, but once humanity returns to its original state, the consequences will truly be unpredictable!
Everyone possesses immeasurable potential power. Can this planet withstand one devastating blow after another?
Money and power have lost all meaning for me. What I want most now is to spend my days carefree at home, browsing the internet and watching dramas—without grand ideals or heavy burdens—just occasionally getting a glimpse of that world is enough for me...
Yet, despite not wanting to get involved again or care about the struggles within the Moon Pearl Pavilion Clan, I ultimately found myself back on this path...
