Light Fortress Chapter 2024 - 63: Wielding the Light Sword to Banish Endless Dark Clouds (Part 2)

The place of her seclusion was personally guarded by the former Saint Heir Su Ye of the temple. After Gu Nanfeng raided the secret dungeon of Light City, Su Ye was dismissed from his position, but later reappeared in the public’s eye.

The reason why this "guilty person" could be reinstated was because he underwent the cleansing of the [Holy Book] personally conducted by Meng Xizhou.

Now, Su Ye has become one of the top three "leader tasks" in the temple. After arriving in the Southern Continent, he gained continuous battle merits and was granted the title of temple resident by Meng Xizhou.

This status is the same as that of the former Purple Rain Commander.

Only trusted death soldiers can hold this position.

Bai Xiu’s [Thunder Realm Walker] merged with the heavy rain of Xiyin City, yet only one person sensed something amiss, and that was Su Ye, stationed in front of the Light Hall. This "resident" stood with his sword planted like a stone sculpture before the hall, suddenly opened his eyes, and was about to draw his sword.

"Stand down."

A light and airy voice caused him to return to his stone sculpture state.

Thus, the [Thunder Realm Walker] passed through unimpeded. Bai Xiu, bringing Gu Xiaoman, stepped through the portal of fireflies in front of the hall and entered the Divine Domain, meeting with Meng Xizhou on the throne.

Gu Xiaoman turned around in surprise, unable to resist taking another look at Su Ye.

The Extraordinary Aura emanating from Su Ye made her feel "threatened." This was an extraordinarily powerful title, at least stronger than the Gray Dragon she had previously slain! Yet there seemed to be something missing in the eyes of this entitled one.

Su Ye’s eyes were a blazing gold!

Filled with light!

But completely lacking his own soul!

Gu Xiaoman was well aware of Master Bai Xiu’s strength.

In the current Five Continents, even counting the Traveler Tribe... as long as they have not merged with the fire seed, have not mastered the origin, all these people combined are absolutely no match for Master Bai Xiu!

With the ability of the [Thunder Realm Walker], traveling to any place of talent is as simple as drinking tea.

Ordinary titled individuals simply cannot react in time.

Yet this guy detected the aura of the "Thunder Domain."

Gu Xiaoman speculated that this guy most likely received the gift of the Light Fire.

She guessed correctly. If Su Ye only relied on his own strength, he would have no chance of sensing the arrival of the [Thunder Realm Walker].

He willingly stood with his sword in front of Meng Xizhou’s Light Hall as a "resident," offering up his hands of freedom, naturally gaining something, he earned Meng Xizhou’s trust and also gained the favor of the Light Fire.

Thus.

He transformed into the hanging sword before the Light Hall, and also into the statue guarding before the Light Hall.

"They’re here."

Meng Xizhou, sitting on the throne, opened softly, inviting the two guests to sit. A vast sun hovered above her head, much like the divine power Mr. Gu Changzhi displayed with the Golden Domain in past years, the temple was bathed everywhere in golden light, dazzling but not scorching.

Two strands of glory congealed into seats beneath Bai Xiu and Gu Xiaoman.

Bai Xiu remained standing.

But Gu Xiaoman, unceremoniously, leapt onto the seat with an air of nonchalance.

"Is this the future ’Lord of Wine’?"

Meng Xizhou smiled at Gu Xiaoman.

Sitting on the golden divine throne, Gu Xiaoman was wonderfully at ease. She had heard the name of Meng Xizhou many times from others. When people mentioned this Light Quasi-God’s Throne, they often referred to her as "Lady Divine," and in the same breath, another name would often be brought up.

Gu Nanfeng.

West Meng, East Gu, although the two had no formal engagement, they had become a romantic tale in the minds of many.

Almost every Night Watchman of the Gu family firmly believed that as soon as this war ended... their Young Master would grandly wed Miss Meng from the Light Temple, but the great cause must come before personal affairs.

"You flatter me, you flatter me, the Lord of Wine hasn’t even been written in destiny yet." Gu Xiaoman chuckled, "I’ve been under the care of Gu Nanfeng these years, should I thank you?"

"Thank me?" Meng Xizhou was momentarily stunned.

"Gu Nanfeng treats me very well, like an elder brother." Gu Xiaoman counted with her fingers and asked earnestly, "So should I call you Lord Divine or Sister-in-law?"

"..."

Meng Xizhou chuckled bitterly and shook her head.

Bai Xiu’s eyes were full of apology and helplessness.

This little one... grew up wild and rough, crawling through the mud, growing a bit older, inevitably exuding the aura of the wilderness.

"No need for formalities, treat me as family."

Meng Xizhou smiled and replied, which could be considered an answer to Gu Xiaoman’s question.

"Alright, sister-in-law!"

Gu Xiaoman nodded obediently, then went straight to the point, "Master Bai Xiu brought me here to resolve a certain confusion."

She got straight to the point and asked directly.

"I observe this Divine Domain, everywhere is filled with blazing Holy Light, is this not already taking shape? With your talent, four years should have been enough to melt the fire seed... I suppose your fire seed has now completed its initial melting, right?"

This time Meng Xizhou did not answer Gu Xiaoman’s question.

Meng Xizhou softly spoke, "Are you wondering why we haven’t attacked the Source Tower?"

"Exactly! This is precisely the puzzle in my heart!"

Gu Xiaoman’s eyes became sharp, "Mr. Bai Shu and Empress Lin Lei, the two of them together resist Qinglong, dragging the Sky Divine Throne into the mud... now we just need one more ’assistance’ to break this stalemate. This is something we cannot do, but you can."

Meng Xizhou remained calm, listening quietly.

"If I were you, I wouldn’t wait this long."

Gu Xiaoman said seriously, "As soon as I finished melting the fire seed, I would immediately strike the Source Tower."
