Chapter 467 Nan Shuang's Accident, Maple Leaves Reappear
On this day, above the sky outside the capital city, one figure after another stood suspended in mid-air.
Each figure exuded a profound and vast aura of rules, like stars suspended in the sky.
They were all Morning Star Wizards!
As far as the eye can see, the figures of people stretch out in an endless line.
Fifty... sixty... seventy... the number is even approaching the hundred mark!
Such a lineup of Morning Stars is truly astonishing.
At the very front stood two particularly eye-catching figures.
One of them was tall and burly, carrying a giant sword on his back.
Just standing there, it's as if a deep, boundless ocean stretches between heaven and earth, exuding a profound and majestic aura.
It was the mighty sea god.
The other person was dressed in a magnificent robe, with a handsome face and an elegant and composed demeanor, as if he were the most perfect embodiment of nobility in worldly legends.
It was none other than the wizard Sean.
Two level six Morning Star wizards stood at the forefront.
Following them were a large number of Level 5 Morning Star Wizards and Level 4 Morning Star Wizards.
Everyone waited quietly, without showing the slightest impatience or complaint.
The vast sky was unusually quiet, because everyone was waiting for the same person, the lord who now ruled the Western Yuan Forest Domain and personally crushed the civilization of gods.
Suddenly, both the Sea King and the Wizard of Sean looked up at the same time, their gazes falling into the depths of the Earth City.
"coming."
Sean spoke slowly.
next moment.
boom!
Deep within the magnificent and vast capital city, a black figure slowly rose into the air.
It was a young man, wearing a deep black lord's robe that fluttered without wind, the edges of which were engraved with ancient and noble golden patterns.
And between his brows, wisps of azure divine light faintly appeared.
The radiance was not dazzling, but it instinctively gave people a feeling of not daring to look directly at it, as if it contained some kind of will that transcended all living beings.
The visitor was none other than Lynn, who had been in seclusion for three months.
Three months have passed, and his aura remains at the level of a fifth-level Morning Star Wizard.
However, at this moment, no one present would truly regard him as an ordinary level 5 Morning Star Wizard.
Because everyone has seen that sword, seen that life-splitting sword that pierces through heaven and earth and cleaves life and death in the universe.
Therefore, the moment Lynn appeared, whether it was the Morning Star Wizards of the Western Forest Domain headquarters, the native Morning Stars of the Pano Plane, or the powerful outsiders from forces such as the Blood Blade Tavern and the Golden Shell Merchant Alliance, they all subconsciously concealed their auras, and many of them did not even dare to meet his gaze.
Sensing all this, Lynn couldn't help but smile inwardly.
After this interdimensional war, he finally secured his position as lord.
The doubts and dissent from within the Western Forest Domain have long since vanished. The native wizards of the Pano Plane have completely submitted, and the Morning Star wizards from the outside world have developed a deep sense of apprehension.
Those who have witnessed the Sword of Life firsthand have had that fear etched deep into their memories.
What they saw was not the Sword of Life at its strongest state.
If these people knew that he had almost killed the God of Water in his perfect state with that one sword strike, they probably wouldn't even have the courage to raise their heads right now.
Thinking of this, Lynn felt a slight sense of emotion.
This interdimensional war not only fulfilled the mandate of the Natural God Dynasty and protected the Pano plane, but also thoroughly established his authority as a lord.
From this day forward, no one will look down on the Lord of the Natural God Dynasty just because he is only a Level 5 Wizard.
Above the sky, Lynn's gaze slowly swept over the crowd before he spoke softly.
"Let's go."
"It's time to go to Sky City."
The words fell.
boom!
The void trembled suddenly, and Lynn's figure instantly transformed into a gray streak of light, like a sharp blade slicing through the sky, shooting straight towards the depths of the heavens.
Behind them, the Sea Emperor of Surging Waves bowed first.
"Yes, my lord!"
Immediately afterwards, Wizard Sean bowed his head in greeting.
Then, dozens of Morning Star Wizards spoke in unison, their voices converging like rolling thunder, resounding throughout the heavens and earth.
The next moment, bursts of light from the rules erupted one after another. Some transformed into blazing rainbows, some into thunder and lightning, some merged into the void, and some rode the storm.
A torrent of colorful rules swept across the sky in an instant.
Nearly a hundred Morning Star Wizards set off simultaneously, following the black-robed figure at the forefront, and pressed forward towards Sky City!
....................................
Meanwhile, in the Sky City deep within the heavens.
This perfect city, seemingly forged from crystal and white jade, floats quietly above layers of clouds.
The intense sunlight poured down from the sky, illuminating the entire city with a radiant glow, making it appear sacred and solemn, as if a legendary divine kingdom had descended to earth.
At this moment, the sky city was already brightly lit and decorated.
Inside and outside the city, the figures of wizards can be seen everywhere. One after another, figures dressed in white robes are busy going back and forth, making the entire city look magnificent and solemn.
Clearly, they are preparing a very high-profile welcoming ceremony.
The last time Sky City held a welcoming ceremony, the scene was already quite grand.
However, compared to this time, it is far inferior.
Outside the Sky City, a long, bright red carpet stretched out from the city gate, resembling a crimson bridge spanning the sea of clouds.
On both sides of the red carpet stood a large number of white-robed wizards, each with a solemn expression and upright posture, without making a sound.
Further away, one after another, flying boats that looked like they were carved from white jade cruised slowly, circling around the Sky City.
On the deck of the airship, the cannons were already prepared, ready to roar in unison as soon as the distinguished guests arrived.
At the heart of the welcoming ceremony, a line of Morning Star Wizards were already waiting.
Compared to ordinary wizards, these Morning Star wizards were undoubtedly the real main force in welcoming them.
However, unlike last time...
Bryce, the acting lord of Sky City who stood in the very center last time, can only step aside now and voluntarily give up the most prominent position.
The reason is simple: the person standing in the center at this moment is the true master of the Sky City.
He is also recognized as the strongest being in the entire Pano plane, the Great Sage Moonshadow Wizard.
The great sage was dressed in a pure white wizard's robe, with his long silver hair and beard hanging down naturally, making him look like a learned old professor.
That kind and gentle face almost perfectly matched the legendary image of the "great sage".
However, upon closer inspection, one can discover that his aura is not as perfect as it appears on the surface.
Beneath that calm aura lay a hint of weakness, clearly indicating that his injuries had not yet fully healed.
When Lynn visited Sky City as the lord of the Natural God Dynasty, Bryce explained that the Moonshadow Wizard had suffered heavy damage from the civilization of the gods and therefore could not appear in person.
In retrospect, those words weren't entirely false.
At least, the injuries on the Moonshadow Wizard's body are real.
Just then, the Moonshadow Wizard's old and deep eyes suddenly twitched slightly.
He looked up at the distant sea of clouds and slowly spoke:
"coming."
The sound wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
In an instant, the expressions of all the Morning Star Wizards present turned solemn.
Some people straightened their robes, some suppressed their breathing, and some straightened their bodies.
The slightly agitated crowd fell silent almost instantly.
Even Bryce, who was standing to the side, quickly adjusted his expression and suppressed all the strangeness on his face.
Outwardly, he remains the same composed and gentle acting lord of Sky City.
However, only he himself knew just how chaotic his mind was at that moment.
"There can't be any problem..."
Bryce lowered his eyes, trying to reassure himself.
"I did it very cleanly."
"No evidence was left behind."
"Even if that lord suspects me, he definitely can't produce anything substantial."
Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced at the Moonshadow Wizard beside him.
After sensing the real injuries on the great sage's body, he finally felt a little more at ease.
"Yes."
“Even Lord Yueying’s injuries are real.”
"My explanation is completely self-consistent."
"He can't touch me unless there's evidence."
Bryce kept repeating these words to himself, as if only in this way could he suppress the growing unease.
However, the more he tried to comfort himself, the more intense his anxiety and fear became.
The feeling was like the sea before a storm; the surface was calm, but beneath the surface, turbulent currents were already surging.
However, at that moment, from the depths of the distant sky, one figure after another suddenly broke through the air.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Waves of rules swept across the heavens and earth, sweeping across the sea of clouds without any concealment.
Those figures all released their own auras, like dazzling stars traversing the sky, their power of rules intertwining and colliding, creating a vast and oppressive force.
Looking around, one could see one Morning Star Wizard after another unleashing the full power of the rules!
At the very front, two terrifying level-six rule fluctuations pierced through the heavens and earth.
The two forces echoed and intertwined, like endless tides rising and falling, one wave higher than the next, pressing down on the entire Sky City.
"Ok?"
Above Sky City, many Morning Star Wizards frowned instantly.
Recklessly unleashing the power of rules and mental pressure is an extremely impolite act.
What's more, it's not just one or two Morning Star wizards who have arrived, but nearly a hundred Morning Star wizards at the same time!
Two of them were even Level 6 beings, releasing their auras without any restraint.
This is no longer a visit; it's blatant intimidation!
Although the two sides were still some distance apart, the young witches who were responsible for welcoming guests outside Sky City could no longer withstand the terrifying pressure.
Their strength was already limited, and now they were being suppressed from a distance by the auras of nearly a hundred Morning Star Wizards. Their faces turned pale, their breathing became rapid, and even standing became difficult.
It's obvious they're up to no good!
The faces of the many Morning Star Wizards in Sky City darkened, and they subconsciously looked at the Great Sage Moonshadow Wizard in the very center.
However, before the Moonshadow Wizard could speak...
A deafening roar suddenly came from the distant horizon.
boom!
A terrifying sword aura tore through the sky.
Accompanied by the roar of a giant whale, seemingly from ancient times, a vast ocean tide swept across the land.
At the same time, countless flower petals drifted down from the clouds.
Three figures broke away from the rear army and descended before Sky City.
Two of them were surprisingly unfamiliar Level 6 Morning Star Wizards.
A man carrying a giant sword, with a burly figure, stood there like a bottomless ocean.
The other person was dressed in a noble robe, with a handsome face and elegant demeanor, exuding aristocratic style in every gesture.
It was none other than the Sea King of Storms and the Wizard of Sean.
The third person was a figure that everyone in Sky City was very familiar with: Warren, the lord of Earth City!
At this moment, however, all three of them had unusually cold expressions.
After the Sea Emperor and Wizard Sean appeared, they stopped and stood in the void, one on the left and one on the right.
Instead, the Lord of Warren took a step forward.
He calmly looked at the Moonshadow Wizard, his voice not loud, but clearly carried throughout the entire Sky City.
"The Great Sage".
"The lord has given the order."
"There are suspected individuals within Sky City who are colluding with the civilization of the gods."
"Now that the gods have retreated and the Pano plane has been reclaimed, it is time to thoroughly investigate the matter of the spies."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Sky City fell into a deathly silence.
Lord Warren's tone was extremely calm, but precisely because of this, it seemed even colder.
These words struck the ears of the people in Sky City like a thunderclap.
Many Morning Star wizards immediately looked grim.
What does this mean? What does it mean that there's a spy in Sky City? And what's the significance of this whole commotion?
Nearly a hundred Morning Star Wizards came out in full force, with two Level 6 Morning Star Wizards personally overseeing the operation, their rule-based pressure sweeping across the sky.
Such a large-scale mobilization doesn't seem like an investigation into spies at all; it's clearly treating the entire Sky City as a suspect!
In an instant, the faces of everyone in Sky City darkened, and even Bryce's eyes showed a hint of anger.
Only the Moonshadow Wizard, standing in the very center, remained calm.
Those aged and deep eyes gazed slowly into the distance, without the slightest ripple. At the same time, the main army finally arrived.
One, two... ten... thirty... fifty...
As waves of rules descended upon the world, one Morning Star Wizard after another emerged from the depths of the sea of clouds.
They hovered behind the Lord of Warren, making no attempt to conceal their aura. The power of the rules intertwined, transforming into an overwhelming pressure that enveloped all directions.
Looking out, a dense array of figures stood in the sky, numbering nearly a hundred Morning Star Wizards!
With so many Morning Star Wizards unleashing their full power simultaneously, releasing their rule-based power and mental energy without reservation.
One aura followed another, one rule covered another.
Ultimately, it converged into a vast and boundless pressure, as if the entire sky were collapsing down, slowly pressing down on the Sky City!
The sense of oppression was almost suffocating.
This can be understood simply by looking down at the city in the sky.
Originally, the Sky City was suspended high above layers of clouds.
The thick, boundless clouds stretched for thousands of miles, never dissipating throughout the year, like a white continent supporting the entire sky city.
But now.
Under the overwhelming pressure of the rules unleashed by nearly a hundred Morning Star Wizards, the thick clouds were torn apart and scattered as if swept by a hurricane!
Vast expanses of the sea of clouds continued to collapse and dissipate.
The auspicious clouds that had been swirling around the Sky City had been almost completely swept away.
The entire Sky City floats alone high in the sky.
That feeling was as if all concealment had been lost, and I was completely exposed to everyone's gaze.
This scene stood in stark contrast to the grand celebration meticulously prepared by Sky City.
Where is even a trace of the celebratory atmosphere of a victory banquet?
This is clearly a confrontation to demand an explanation!
The target wasn't even one or two spies, but the entire Sky City!
Given this situation, it's no wonder that the wizards from Sky City all looked grim, their eyes blazing with anger.
Even Warren, the city lord of Pano, who belongs to the same plane as Sky City, and who used to always have a smile on his face when they met, now had a cold expression and icy eyes.
His demeanor suggested that a single wrong word would prompt him to lead nearly a hundred Morning Star wizards behind him to launch a fierce attack.
If it weren't for the Great Sage Moonshadow Wizard constantly suppressing the emotions of everyone in Sky City...
It seems that the two sides have completely broken off relations by now.
On the high platform, the Moonshadow Wizard slowly raised his head, his aged and profound gaze sweeping over the Storm Sea Emperor and the Wizard Sean.
After briefly lingering on the two level six Morning Star wizards, the message finally landed on Lord Warren.
The lord of the Sky City remained silent for a moment, then slowly spoke:
"Warren."
Where is that lord now?
Is there any misunderstanding in this matter?
The voice was calm, yet carried a hint of solemnity.
However, Lord Warren showed no sign of softening his stance when facing his old friend; his expression remained calm and indifferent.
"My lord has something urgent to attend to."
"We are fully responsible for the affairs here."
At this point, he slightly raised his eyes and met the gaze of the Moonshadow Wizard.
"The Great Sage".
"This matter concerns the very survival of the Pano plane."
"It also concerns the inheritance of wizarding civilization in this world."
Please don't make a mistake.
The voice wasn't loud, but it caused the expressions of everyone from Sky City to change simultaneously.
Don't make a mistake for yourself!
This is practically an ultimatum!
Many Morning Star Wizards turned ashen-faced, and even the Moon Shadow Wizards' brows furrowed slowly.
Beside him, Bryce also wore an angry expression, as if he shared the same hatred as everyone else.
However, no one knew that his mind was in complete turmoil at that moment.
He secretly observed the expression on his teacher, the Moonshadow Wizard's face.
Seeing the other person's increasingly serious expression, he couldn't help but feel more and more anxious.
Damn!
What exactly is that lord trying to do?!
Without any evidence, without any interrogation, and without even showing their faces, they directly dispatched nearly a hundred Morning Star Wizards to surround Sky City!
This is absolutely insane!
Thinking of this, Bryce finally couldn't hold back any longer, took a step forward, and shouted sharply:
"What does this mean, my lord?!"
"Are you going to attack Sky City without any evidence?!"
The sound echoed in all directions.
However, it would have been better if he hadn't said those words.
As soon as he said it, the Morning Star wizards from various factions behind Lord Warren seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world.
The next moment, a burst of laughter resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
"Hahahaha!"
"evidence?"
"Who does he think he is, to ask the lord for evidence?"
"In my opinion, why bother with all this trouble! Lord, just kill that old man with one sword, and we'll take care of the rest!"
"it's so funny!"
"The Lord of the Natural God Dynasty personally ordered the arrest; do I need to explain this to you?"
"The lord's words are the greatest evidence!"
"If you didn't have something to hide, why would you be in such a hurry?"
"Why is it that instead of the Lord besieging the Earth Capital, he has chosen to besiege your Sky City?"
"Don't you know what you've done?"
"Hahaha! You still dare to stand up and cry foul!"
Voices continued to come, including those from the arrogant Morning Star wizards of the Bloodblade Tavern.
They are lawless people by nature.
Now standing behind him are Lynn, the Sea King, the wizard Sean, and nearly a hundred Morning Star wizards.
They naturally became even more unrestrained in their speech.
In an instant, the sky was filled with mocking laughter and sneers, the rolling sound waves echoing between the clouds, making the faces of the people in Sky City even more unsightly.
A barrage of insults and mockery erupted, especially from Bryce, whose face had turned a deep, ghastly shade of liver.
However, contrary to his almost out-of-control appearance, the great sage Moonshadow Wizard became increasingly calm.
Those harsh taunts did not anger him; instead, they made him even calmer.
There is no other reason.
The word "lord" alone is enough.
"call……"
The Moonshadow Wizard slowly exhaled.
As he had once told Bryce, the most foolish choice when faced with the will of a lord of a natural kingdom is to fight.
Therefore, he made the most rational decision.
"Warren, everything is in your hands now."
As those words fell.
The layers upon layers of intertwined defensive formations surrounding Sky City began to dissipate one after another.
It was as if the clouds had parted to reveal the sun, or as if they had voluntarily let down their last defenses.
This scene plunged the hearts of many Morning Star Wizards in Sky City into despair.
Many people looked on in despair, and Bryce was particularly shaken at that moment, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"teacher……"
He opened his mouth, but ultimately couldn't say anything.
"I apologize, Great Sage."
Lord Warren nodded slightly, but his expression remained indifferent, showing no sign of softening.
The next moment, he stepped out and led the many Morning Star Wizards behind him toward the interior of Sky City.
The massive crowd surged into the city like a torrent.
The entire Sky City was plunged into a tense atmosphere, as if a storm was brewing.
....................................
However, despite Lynn's absence, Sky City did not experience any major disturbances.
It could even be said that the whole process went surprisingly smoothly.
Ultimately, the Great Sage Moonshadow Wizard chose to cooperate.
On the other hand, Lynn's departure at this crucial moment was not due to any deliberate attempt to avoid anything.
But there are truly more important things to do.
At this moment, he arrived at the highest point of the Pano plane with only the wizard Ald.
The two pierced through the thick atmosphere, breaking free from the gravitational pull and rules of the plane, and once again stepped into the cold and vast cosmic space.
The starry sky was deep and the stars were silent.
Wizard Ald stood at the back, holding the star chart in his hands, constantly adjusting the coordinates and correcting the spatial parameters.
Lynn, dressed in a black robe that fluttered in the wind, stood amidst the cosmic starry sky, appearing even more mysterious and unpredictable.
His gaze remained fixed on a certain direction deep within the starry sky.
Not long ago, he received an urgent message from the Ring of Life.
The contents of the message made him slightly alarmed.
The plane guarded by the Unbreakable Emperor Nanshuang has lost contact, completely and utterly lost contact.
A plane personally overseen by a Morning Star Realm expert has encountered a problem.
In fact, it's not just Nanshuang's side.
The area that Tianbenliu Donghui is in charge of doesn't seem to be going well either.
As for Wanlichun and Bei Niao, some ominous news also began to circulate.
Suddenly, the dimensional battlefield guarded by the four lords of the Natural God Dynasty was hit by a series of setbacks.
"But... if that's really the case, why bring me to the cosmos?"
Lynn frowned slightly.
"I am only a level five lord after all."
"Just guarding your own plane is enough to fulfill your duty."
"Even if those people run into trouble, I'm afraid there's not much I can do to help..."
He was quite puzzled, but the Ring of Life was adamant in its stance.
Not only did they demand that he leave the Pano plane immediately, but they also specifically asked him to bring the corrected star chart coordinates to the cosmos.
The whole process was shrouded in mystery, as if it concealed some deeper secret.
So Lynn and the wizard Old could only wait quietly.
Time passed slowly, and the coordinates on the horoscope had been checked repeatedly.
The universe and starry sky remain silent.
However, at that moment, Lynn's expression suddenly changed slightly, and an unusual heat came from his palm.
"Ok?"
He looked down and saw that the source of the heat was none other than the Spirit of the Azure Sky.
The once quiet and still turquoise crystals were now slightly warm, and the temperature was still rising.
Lynn's eyes suddenly narrowed.
Swish!
next moment.
He held the Azure Sky Spirit in his palm, and feeling the burning sensation from his hand, Lynn's doubts only deepened.
"This is……"
"what happened?"
However, just as he was carefully observing the Spirit of the Azure Sky.
Suddenly, Lynn was slightly taken aback.
Because through that crystal-clear, bluish-green crystal.
He could vaguely see a maple leaf, deep within the Azure Sky Spirit, slowly drifting down from the endless void. (End of Chapter)
