Was it fate? But it wasn't Kun's fate?
Ya was slightly stunned, but he didn't say anything. People like him and Kun did not have any fate to speak of.
This time, the Elder Council's behavior was too strange. It was obvious that they had punished Kun. However, less than a month later, Kun was placed under house arrest in the ancestral land.
They said that they were going to convene an Elder Council to decide on an important matter.
What was so important that they needed to decide on? Could it be that they were going to remove Kun's authority as the supervisor? If that was the case, it would be something worthy of an Elder Council meeting.
With that in mind, Ya looked up at Kun. Kun's white robe fluttered as he walked into the snowy courtyard. He didn't look heavy at all.
Looking at the scene, Ya curled his lips into a grin. This guy …
If Kun was really going to be removed from his position as the supervisor, he would probably object to it, wouldn't he? Ya's eyes flashed with determination before he returned to his expressionless face. He followed Kun out of the courtyard on top of the snowy mountain.

"If you've seen the galaxy floating on the surface of the sea, it's not the stars that fell into the sea. It's just … a mermaid swimming across the sea, leaving a trail of crystal tears behind."
Putting down the instrument that resembled the ukulele from the old human civilization, Wu Mingzhu stopped singing.
Even so, his magnetic voice still reverberated above the surface of the sea, intoxicating people.
Wu Mingzhu was standing on top of the cliff. The sea breeze was blowing softly like a pair of gentle hands caressing his long blue hair.
On the surface of the sea below the cliff, a rumbling mist could be seen from afar. Inside the mist, a giant back or a strange, ferocious head would appear from time to time before vanishing into thin air.
What about the surface of the sea nearby? Based on the various characteristics of these marine beasts, these marine beasts were at least Class 3 and above Vicious Beasts.
However, as they swam below the cliff, there wasn't any ferocious aura from them. Instead, they looked intoxicated with a human-like feeling as if they were looking forward to something.
Even the mist in the distance, which was filled with a dangerous aura, didn't seem to sense it at all.
One had to know that beasts had better senses than humans, not to mention these Vicious Beasts that were all Class 3 and above.
Facing such a scene, Wu Mingzhu didn't feel that anything was wrong. He just looked at the mist in the distance, sighed softly, and sat on the edge of the cliff.
The sun had already set in the west. The beautiful sunset over the sea had already filled the sky gently. The rose-red light fell on Wu Mingzhu's face, making his handsome face look even more gentle. His pair of large and sparkling eyes looked even more melancholic.
"What an intoxicating youth." At this moment, a mature and sexy female voice appeared behind Wu Mingzhu.
Wu Mingzhu turned her head and her melancholic eyes were immediately filled with the light of deep affection.
He saw a beautiful woman walking on the path leading to the cliff. Her blonde hair glistened under the light of the setting sun. She had sexy red lips and deep and enchanting blue eyes. Even though she was wearing a uniform, the rigid uniform could not hide her natural and enchanting figure.
"Sma." Wu Mingzhu called out softly.
The woman called Sma by Wu Mingzhu gave a charming smile and sat down beside Wu Mingzhu. Then, she used her fingers that were painted with red nail polish to gently stroke Wu Mingzhu's face.
"The Mermaid Clan is truly enviable. You are clearly older than me, but you have the face of a young man. "No, you should be a young man." Sma laughed in a low voice, giving off an ambiguous feeling, but also a sense of alienation.
Wu Mingzhu curled his lips in dissatisfaction, lowered his head and said, "No, I'm already very mature. "Don't care, just care what my face looks like."
"Hehe. I don't care. Instead, I'm sighing with jealousy! You Merfolk are all so beautiful. Even if it's a man, it's hard to tell whether he's a man or a woman. "
"Let me take a good look at you, my dear little brother." As she spoke, Sma held up Wu Mingzhu's face with both hands.
However, Wu Mingzhu stubbornly turned to the side, stood up, and said loudly: "Sma, please, please don't treat me as some little brother. I'm not a child. I'm already eighty-seven years old. You should, should understand me … "
"Wow, our Wu Mingzhu is too powerful." Sma acted as if she hadn't heard Wu Mingzhu's words. Instead, she looked at the surface of the sea at the bottom of the cliff in shock, at the obedient, intoxicated beasts.
"That, that's nothing. The Mermaid Clan can do it. "Wu Mingzhu blushed slightly.
"No, this is a very powerful thing. Let there be more ferocious beasts in the fog. This is a great feat. "Sma's eyes were suddenly filled with gentleness, and then, she gently held onto Wu Mingzhu's hand.
Even Wu Mingzhu's earlobes turned red. Her hand, which was suddenly held by Sma, was covered in a thin layer of sweat.
"That fog is already filled with ferocious beasts. It's too dense. If there's not enough food, they'll devour each other. It's very cruel. "Wu Mingzhu said in a low voice, but she did not explicitly reject Sma's request.
"Well, they'll have good food soon, won't they?" Sma pulled Wu Mingzhu to her side.
Wu Mingzhu pursed her lips and did not say anything.
Sma glanced at Wu Mingzhu and did not say anything. She just sat quietly beside Wu Mingzhu.
"Do you really want them to hide in the fog and devour everyone?" Wu Mingzhu's eyes became melancholic again: "Thinking about it like that, it's still very cruel."
"There's nothing cruel about it. Think about what happened to your Mermaid Clan. The ocean should be yours … But in the end, if it wasn't for the arrival of the Purple Moon Era, you would have been extinct. "
"And even if you came to the Purple Moon Era, your bloodline was still stolen by those despicable humans, wasn't it?" The Shaman stroked his golden hair. Although his tone was calm, the meaning behind his words made people feel deep hatred.
Hearing this, Wu Mingzhu's expression suddenly changed. The melancholy and gentle expression turned into determination with hatred.
He stood up from the edge of the cliff, then turned to Sma and said, "Wait for me, Sma. I'll be back in a while. "
After saying this, Wu Mingzhu put down the musical instrument in her hand and jumped down from the high cliff.
Ten seconds later, he fell into the sea below the cliff where many Ferocious Beasts were swimming.
As soon as she fell into the sea, something strange happened. Wu Mingzhu's legs, which were originally no different from a human's, immediately had a layer of flesh membrane appear from the edge. This layer of flesh membrane quickly wrapped around Wu Mingzhu's legs. In just a moment, Wu Mingzhu's legs that were wrapped turned into a fishtail.
Then, dreamy blue scales appeared on the fish's tail one after another.
In addition, Dark Pearl's upper body had also undergone a mutation. Her originally thin body suddenly became strong, and her snow-white skin turned ashen.
Not only that, but even his face changed. His handsome face suddenly became angular, prominent eyebrows, high cheekbones, and a cracked mouth made him look a little ferocious. His long blue hair also turned into a strange form that looked like roots, like seaweed.
It was impossible to recognize that this scary humanoid creature in the sea was the charming young man on the surface of the sea.
This change took about half a minute. Strangely, during the whole process, not a single sea beast attacked him.
Instead, they surrounded him intimately and let out all kinds of whimpering sounds that sounded like they were acting coquettishly.
The Dark Pearl seemed to have become accustomed to all of this. He began to swim quickly towards the misty area. The group of ferocious sea beasts also followed the Dark Pearl and swam towards the misty area. For a moment, large waves appeared on the surface of the sea. It was a very spectacular sight.
Sma supported her chin with one hand as she sat on the edge of the cliff and watched the scene. She had an unknown smile on her face, and on her uniform, the pattern formed by the stars was exceptionally dazzling under the setting sun.
**
Not far from the cliff, there was a small floating island. "Is this really the right thing to do?"
The floating island was also the kind of strange floating island that could float on the surface of the sea, just like the deserted island that Tang Ling had discovered.
However, the deserted island was actually the carcass of a very powerful vicious beast of an unknown level.
However, this floating island was obviously just a normal island because other than being able to float, there was nothing strange about it.
At that moment, at the highest point of the island stood an old man.
The old man also had long blue hair, but it was very faint. Some of his hair had even faded and turned white.
Even though he was old, upon a closer look, the old man's facial features were still very handsome. If it were not for the beard that covered his face, he might have been even more handsome.
Facing the old man's question, the two people behind him were very firm.
One of them was an old woman. Just like the old man, even though she was old, she still looked beautiful. She said in a deep voice, "Perzhu, could it be that you still have a benevolent heart towards humans?"
"Could it be that from ancient times till now, our Mermaid Clan has not shed enough blood and tears because of this kindness?"
"Wu Mingzhu, it's not that I have any sympathy for humans. It's that I can't fully trust the Stardust Council. " The old man who was called Perzhu revealed a trace of melancholy in his eyes. His melancholy was exactly the same as Wu Mingzhu's.
It seemed like Perzhu and Wu Mingzhu had a very close blood relationship.
"After seeing the person behind the Stardust Council, what else do you have to doubt, Perzhu?!" the other old man behind Perzhu said.
Both of them had the same handsome face that even time could not completely destroy, but compared to Perzhu, this old man was a little stronger.
Perzhu did not refute the old man's words about the Stardust Council. He sighed and said, "But Wu Mingzhu seems to be completely obsessed with that woman from the Stardust Council.
If this incident reveals the merfolk and the conspiracy that we're involved in, the consequences will be unimaginable. "
"Perzhu, what has worn away your courage?! If we can seize this opportunity to destroy a large number of human elites or even all of them, what's the big deal? Furthermore, the current era is no longer the same as before. If the humans really want to do something, we, the Mermaid Race, don't need to be so afraid! "As he spoke, the strong old man stomped the trident in his hand heavily.
"Moreover, we've already formed an alliance with the Stardust Council."
"Yes, Perzhu. Did the blood and tears of our ancestors imprint a deep fear in your soul? We, the Mermaid Clan … "Baili Zhu also spoke at this moment.
"Enough." Perzhu waved his hand to stop the two of them from continuing. He turned around and said, "Wu Mingzhu and Caiwu Mingzhu are the most outstanding children of the merfolk. I will never allow them to get involved with other races. The tragedy from a hundred years ago still stings my heart! No matter what the Stardust Council does, Sma is a pure human! "
"Wu Mingzhu's matter is a problem, but now is not the time to offend the Stardust Council. We'll find someone to talk to Wu Mingzhu in private. "When Wu Mingzhu was mentioned, Bai Lizhu's tone was no longer as firm as before. Instead, she sounded a little worried.
"That's right, Perzhu. Wu Mingzhu's matter can be discussed at length and we can even negotiate with the Stardust Council. But this time, the Death Mist matter must be carried out! It's not just to sever the hope of mankind and bury their outstanding next generation. On top of that, the Death Mist has given birth to the Stamen of the Nine Lotus … "The strong elder paused for a moment before he looked at Perzhu with a serious gaze.
He then looked at Paerzhu with a very solemn gaze. "Do you still not understand the meaning of this? The Stamen of the Nine Lotus isn't the key. The key is that once the Stamen of the Nine Lotus grows, it means that the crack … will appear soon. "
"I understand." At the mention of the crack, Perzhu's expression turned solemn. He interrupted the old man.
He interrupted the elder and his eyes that looked at the mist were filled with a glimmer of hope.
**
May 2178 AD.
The planet that had just established a new order less than a hundred years ago was once again faced with war.
How long had it been since the last war? 20 years? Or more than 10 years? No one wanted to recall such a question.
It was not because of how cruel the question was, but because the last war seemed to have brought a different spark of hope to the people.
However, it was destroyed in the end, and one of the most important forces that destroyed it was the Stardust Council.
This time, it was the Stardust Council that instigated the war again.
"Give me a copy of the newspaper."
"No, there's only one left. I bought it first."
All over the world, it was not rare to see people fighting for the newspaper because all the major newspapers were the first to report the news.
In the Purple Moon era, the communication network was completely destroyed. Due to the existence of vicious beasts, it was impossible to rebuild a stable communication network like the one in the old civilization.
Therefore, the newspaper became the only way to understand the major news in this world.
Even so, the people at the bottom of society could not access the newspaper. Many people in the settlement might not even get to read a newspaper for the rest of their lives.
But what did that matter? Even a war could not move the numb people of the settlement, the Drifters, and the Drifter Squad, who were at the bottom of society.
Their lives were already worse than being in a war every day. War was always about those who had hope for a better life, even though most of them were just ordinary and pitiful people in this era.
The news in the newspaper was always shocking. The sensational headline was' The Beginning of the World War? The Poseidon Family and the Stardust Council Have Detonated the Fuse! '
'Can the world be spared from the clash of two major forces?'
Inevitably, people started to worry as if the high temperature season had arrived early. The anxiety was unbearable.
However, the people in the higher ranks were not worried at all.
They knew it was just a small war. Neither the Stardust Council nor the Poseidon Family would go all out.
As long as they achieved a certain strategic goal, they would stop! It was a given. Due to the involvement of various forces, it was impossible for a world war to break out.
"Instead of having the time to care about the war caused by the scheming and scheming, why don't you pay more attention to the situation in Ironblood City?" Van Persie cursed angrily after he put down the newspaper.
He had fully recovered from his wounds after receiving treatment at all costs. The last battle where he defended the city walls to the death had brought him unforgettable pain. Many of his brothers and comrades had died in that battle.
However, it had also brought him an opportunity.
He had been promoted from a captain to a deputy general under General Li Lie's command.
No one knew what methods Ironblood City had used, but the sudden riots that happened a while ago had temporarily calmed down.
The peace left Van Persie with nothing to do. Furthermore, his position as a deputy general was not a captain that fought on the frontlines, so he was more at ease.
That was why he had the time to curse in his office behind the city walls.
Squeak! It was at that moment that the door to Van Persie's office was pushed open. It was Li Lie standing behind the door.
Maybe because of the recent peace, Li Lie, the brave general, had nothing better to do, so he did not even put on his uniform.
However, not putting on his uniform was Li Lie's problem. As Li Lie's deputy general, Van Persie could not neglect his superior just because he did not put on his uniform.
He stood up immediately and performed a standard military salute.
"Yo, I heard you scolding outside the door." Li Lie walked into Van Persie's office and sat down casually.
"General, that's because …" Van Persie wanted to argue, but when he thought about the rules of the military camp, he shut his mouth.
In the military camp, many things only depended on the result and not the reason. Therefore, arguing was a useless and shameless act in the eyes of a soldier.
"Is it because you're too free?" Li Lie said with a faint smile.
Van Persie blushed a little as he said softly, "Defending Ironblood City is the true battle for the survival of mankind. I think most people in this world should have this kind of mood. But, they … "
"A lot of people don't understand the true meaning of justice! Most of the wars in this world are wars for benefits and justice. You can't convince everyone. "Li Lie picked up his teacup, blew at it, and took a sip.
Van Persie stood in front of Li Lie speechlessly.
"Go, since you're so free. Since you're so free, lead the Red Tigers and depart. " Li Lie did not seem to want to dwell on the meaning of war, so he suddenly changed the topic and assigned a mission to Van Persie.
Van Persie's eyes gleamed with excitement. He straightened his body and said loudly, "Yes, General. Do I have to lead the team out of Ironblood City for a mission? "
"No, not out of Ironblood City. Instead, we're going to the ocean beyond the Tommy Safety Line for a secret mission. "Li Lie put down his teacup.
"Huh? But … But the ocean has always been managed by the Poseidon family. Our Ironblood City can't interfere … "Li Lie was stunned when he said that. He remembered the news from the newspaper that the Poseidon family was going to war with the Stardust Council.
Judging from the lag of information in this era, the war might have already started.
"The Poseidon family is shouldering a huge mission. However, the downside is that they are still a family and not an army. It's only been a few years, yet there are already so many hidden dangers. "Li Lie sighed softly.
"Fortunately, the Poseidon family has someone like Cyril, but …" Li Lie squinted his eyes as if he thought of something, then he went silent.
Van Persie dared not say anything else. What Li Lie said had touched on some Level 1 secrets. It was not something that a little lieutenant general like him could ask.
Fortunately, Li Lie did not plan to reveal anything else. He looked up and said to Van Persie in a serious tone, "In short, we've received some secret intel. Iron-Blooded City must make a move now. Lead the team and depart immediately. The details of the mission will be explained to you in batches during your journey. "
"This is a variable mission?" Li Lie was slightly stunned. A variable mission meant that the objective of the mission could change at any time. There were many variables in the mission, so it was usually the hardest mission to complete.
"Hmm, this is indeed a variable mission. But remember, this mission has a constant focus, which is to protect the young warriors who are searching for resources during the resource season, especially Tang Ling! " Especially … especially Tang Ling! "Li Lie hesitated for a while before he purposely reminded Van Persie.
As a matter of fact, the core of the mission was to protect Liszt!
Van Persie was stunned as well. Iron-Blooded City was going to interfere with the young warriors' resource season? Why did this matter sound so strange?
