At this moment, Ding Lang realized that he was saved!
In this dangerous area, he was extremely lucky to be able to meet a big shot from the Temple of Emptiness.
As long as he revealed his identity, the other party would not leave him in the lurch.
In this way, he would have a chance to escape unscathed and successfully leave the Unknown Land.
Therefore, he took the initiative to reveal his identity with such a respectful attitude.
However, the Fifth Palace Master did not realize what surprise and turn of events he was facing. He only felt that it was a little strange.
"You're Ding Lang? A citizen of Yuexing Hall and a city patrol guard?
Then why are you here? And in such a sorry state? "
The Fifth Palace Master looked down at Ding Lang and raised a series of questions with a frown.
Although he did not answer Ding Lang's questions and did not introduce himself, Ding Lang was not stupid.
He was even more certain that the other party was an important person from Kongming Temple.
Therefore, he stopped probing and asking about the other party's identity. He went with the flow and explained, "My Lord, this is a long story …"
Ding Lang had already thought of an excuse and was prepared to tell the other party about his miserable experience.
However, the Fifth Palace Master raised his eyebrows and said with a cold expression, "Then make it short!"
"Uh … Yes, my Lord!" Ding Lang was stunned and could only choose to use short words to explain the cause and process.
"A hundred years ago, I went to the Unknown Land to search for treasures and was captured by the Beast Clan.
They took me to Li City and made me a slave. I worked day and night in a refiner's workshop … …
Until yesterday, when the hundred years were up, the Beast Clan let me go. "
After listening to Ding Lang's story, the entire hall fell silent.
Not only was the Fifth Palace Master looking at him with a strange expression, even the surrounding guards had different expressions and complicated looks in their eyes.
For a moment, Ding Lang was at a loss and did not know what had gone wrong.
In the end, it was the Fifth Palace Master who spoke first and broke the silence.
"In front of me, you dare to make up nonsense and say such ridiculous things. Do you want to die?"
The twenty guards and the four guard captains were also holding back their laughter. They looked at Ding Lang with a look of schadenfreude.
Obviously, no one believed Ding Lang's words.
And Ding Lang's focus was entirely on the two words' This Emperor '.
In the entire Kongming Temple, there were only five God Emperor level experts, and all of them were temple masters.
According to the rumors, the five Palace Masters had different appearances and temperaments.
The cultured and refined black-robed man in front of him was most likely the youngest Fifth Palace Master!
Of course, Ding Lang guessed the identity of the other party, yet he didn't dare expose it. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed as he said, "My Lord, calm your anger. Everything this subordinate said is true, and I absolutely don't dare deceive you in the slightest!"
The Fifth Palace Master furrowed his brows and observed Ding Lang for a moment.
Through Ding Lang's expression and aura fluctuations, the Fifth Palace Master was certain that Ding Lang was not lying.
However, he was still skeptical and asked, "Those ignorant ferocious beasts and divine beasts didn't kill you after capturing you. Instead, they brought you back as a slave?
Also, what do you mean by Li City?
Don't tell me that those savage beasts actually know how to build a capital city?
Oh right, didn't you just say that after they capture you, they will make you a slave in the armament workshop?
Hahahaha … A bunch of wild beasts know how to refine armaments? You really have an imagination! "
Infected by the Fifth Palace Master's laughter, the 20-odd guards also laughed out loud.
Ding Lang was very helpless. He only wanted to say in his heart, "What do I have to do to make you believe me?"
However, the actual situation didn't allow him to say that.
He could only think quickly, racking his brains to think of all kinds of words, and try his best to describe what he saw and heard in Li City in detail.
The Fifth Palace Master still had a mocking smile on his face, and he was skeptical of Ding Lang's words.
However, Ding Lang was not moved at all, nor did he show any fear. He continued to tell his story as he pleased.
As time passed, he talked endlessly for half a day, and actually restored the general appearance of Li City.
The Fifth Palace Master and the 20-odd guards also had a corresponding image in their minds.
Everyone gradually accepted this absurd fact, and even began to think, "Are the ferocious beasts and divine beasts really going to awaken?"
If that so-called 'Li City' really existed, the Beast Clan would have already started to build houses and palaces, learn to set up arrays and refine armaments. What were they trying to do?
Were they trying to strengthen themselves and fight against the Kongming Temple, or even invade the Kongming Temple's territory?
Thinking of this, the Fifth Palace Master also felt a sense of danger in the depths of his heart.
In the end, when Ding Lang mentioned the two leaders of the Beast Clan, the two God Emperor level divine beasts and the ferocious beasts, and described their appearances … the Fifth Palace Master gradually believed him.
Firstly, the Fifth Palace Master could tell that Ding Lang's expression and state didn't seem to be lying.
Secondly, Ding Lang, in his agitated state, had said at least a thousand words to describe the situation in Li City and to support his previous words.
After the Fifth Palace Master's summary and analysis, he actually couldn't find any loopholes or contradictions.
This also proved that Ding Lang was indeed not lying.
As for the third point, the key was the two God Emperor level ferocious beasts.
This was one of the Kongming Temple's secrets.
As early as tens of thousands of years ago, there were indeed a few Palace Masters who led many elite experts into the Unknown Lands. They encountered all kinds of dangers and suffered losses to the extent that they were almost completely wiped out.
Later on, a few Palace Masters did indeed encounter God Emperor level ferocious beasts.
However, they were very cautious. They only sensed the aura of the two Emperor-level ferocious beasts from afar and quickly retreated without meeting them.
Otherwise, if both sides met and fought, the consequences would be unpredictable.
Although those Palace Masters brought back rich cultivation resources and treasures of heaven and earth, which laid the foundation for the Kongming Temple to expand its power, it was an embarrassing matter.
After all, it wasn't something to be proud of, so it wasn't announced to the public.
In the following tens of thousands of years, even if some rumors were passed down from the Kongming Temple, they only said that there were God Emperor level ferocious beasts in the Unknown Lands, but never two.
Since Ding Lang dared to say that there were two God Emperor level ferocious beasts, and one was a ferocious beast and the other was a divine beast, and he could even describe their appearances, it proved that he had indeed seen them!
The Fifth Palace Master had no choice but to believe it.
The mocking expression on the Fifth Palace Master's face disappeared, and gradually became serious and thoughtful.
The twenty odd guards also realized that what Ding Lang said was true, and their expressions became solemn.
Seeing that the Fifth Palace Master was deep in thought, Ding Lang finally calmed down and stopped chattering.
He quieted down and silently waited for the Fifth Palace Master to make a decision.
After a moment, the Fifth Palace Master said, "Ding Lang, you stay on this Emperor's ship. This is a serious matter, and this Emperor needs to report it to the First Palace Master before he can make a decision.
Before this Emperor completes his task, you are not allowed to leave without permission, understand? "
