Another groan was heard. It sounded so familiar to Xuanyue. She looked towards the darkness in a daze and asked, "Brother Dumb, are you there?"
Dumb gradually woke up. He felt dizzy and uncomfortable. When he heard Xuanyue's voice, he said instinctively, "Brother, it's me. Where are we?"
Xuanyue sighed and said, "I'm afraid we're being held captive."
Dumby's consciousness gradually recovered, and he recalled everything that had happened earlier. Back then, when the four elders of the Gold Tribe had shouted the word "Confrontation," the four of them had simultaneously felt as if their brains had been struck by a huge hammer. The pain had stimulated all the nerves in their bodies, and their spiritual power had been shaken to an unprecedented degree. They could no longer control their bodies, let alone launch an attack. They could only rely on their willpower to barely resist. After that, the four elders of the Yakin people bombarded their mental strength with every word they shouted. They were already in a passive state and couldn't put up any effective resistance. Oliveira's spiritual power was the weakest among the four of them. Even though he had the protection of the Wind God's Staff, his own spiritual power was still slightly weaker. Thus, he still fainted when the four Great Elders uttered the first word. Kino had reached the level of a Magic Shooter, but he could only hold on until the second word. If Dumb didn't rely on the Blood of the Dragon God and Hades Sword, he wouldn't have been able to hold on until the sixth word. Dumb's newly built confidence was completely destroyed by the four Grand Elder in the previous battle. He said dispiritedly, "We can't even hold on for a few words. Brother, do you know what method they used to control us?"
Xuanyue sighed and said, "If I'm not wrong, it should be the forbidden Soul Magic. It seems like these so-called lost ultimate skills still exist on the continent, just like Soul Magic! "
Dumb was confused and asked, "Soul Magic? What's that? "
Xuanyue explained, "As the name suggests, Soul Magic directly attacks the opponent's soul. No matter how strong you are, once your soul is lost, you can only be trampled upon. Those four old fellows may not be better than us, but their use of mental power has already reached the point of perfection. Through the vibration of the sound, it resonates with our spiritual domain, and then uses its sharp spiritual power to destroy our willpower. Make us unconscious and lose all ability to resist. I could feel that their spiritual power could instantly transform into various forms and attack through various channels. How could we resist the combined power of the four of them? However, this kind of magic was very dangerous. Once they couldn't control the opponent's soul, they would suffer a strong backlash. If it was serious, their mental strength would completely disappear and they would become an idiot. I thought that when I fainted, they wouldn't be able to hold on much longer. Big brother, can you still use dou qi now? "
After listening to Xuanyue's explanation, Dumb's heart sank to the bottom. He had worked so hard for so many years, but he didn't expect to be defeated without even having a chance to use his skills. He tried to activate the golden body in his Dantian, but as soon as he thought about it, the pain spread from his brain to his whole body. He cried out in pain and his body kept spasming.
Xuanyue didn't need to ask to know that Dumb was going through the same thing as her. She couldn't help but feel a little hopeless. Falling into such a hopeless situation, it would be hard to turn around. "Big brother, don't try anymore. Our spiritual power seems to have been sealed by them. Other than simple thinking and talking, we have lost control of our bodies. This kind of spiritual seal can't be broken unless the caster personally explains it. "
The pain gradually lessened. Dumb panted heavily, "Don't tell me, don't tell me they can't deal with it? Then wouldn't the Yakin people be invincible in the world? What's the use of my painstaking training? "
Xuanyue shook her head and said, "They may not be invincible, but it's not impossible to deal with them. If Grandpa was there that day, they wouldn't have had any chance at all. Grandpa's spiritual power is as deep as the ocean, it's not something they can shake. Even if it's us, we might not lose. The main reason for our failure that day was because we weren't prepared, and we had never seen this kind of spiritual magic attack. We were led by the nose as soon as we arrived, and it shocked our souls. Although those four old fellows have great control over their spiritual power, their bodies are very weak because they have been training in the spiritual realm for a long time. As long as we can attack them once, I'm afraid their souls will return to the underworld.
Dumb sighed and said, "But, do we really have a way to attack them?"
Xuanyue said firmly, "We do. As long as we are prepared in advance, we can immediately seal our eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body when they attack, then we won't be affected by the spiritual power. The sixth sense can't be sealed, but with our spiritual power cultivation, we should be able to defend the remaining spiritual attack. Relying on our instincts, we definitely have a chance to win. "
Dumb's eyes lit up, then dimmed in an instant. He smiled bitterly and said, "It's too late to say anything now. We have been completely subdued, and all laws are useless. We can only wait to be trampled on."
Xuanyue sighed and was about to say something, but two moans came from outside the room. Xuanyue knew that it must be Oliveira and Kino waking up. Sure enough, Oliveira's weak voice sounded, "Where, where is this? My head hurts! "
Xuanyue said, "This is the cell that imprisoned us. Brother Villa, don't try to use force, it'll be very miserable."
Kino's voice sounded, "Ah! We, we are locked up? Why is this happening? My head hurts too. Those old fellows are so powerful! I don't even know what happened before I fainted. "
Xuanyue explained about soul magic to them. After listening to Xuanyue's explanation, the stone cell fell into silence. After a while, Oliveira said helplessly, "Then are we going to be locked up here forever? Since they have already captured us, why didn't they kill us? Do they have some other purpose? Mu, is the leader of the Tiya clan not willing to kill us off so easily, so he wants to humiliate us first? "
Xuanyue said, "The human body needs to be controlled with spiritual power. Once spiritual power is sealed, we can't do anything. All of our attacks and defensive equipment are based on mind power. Even big brother Dumby's battle aura can't be used without mind power. Now we can only wait and see what the Yakin people are going to do to us. Since they haven't killed us, it means we still have a chance. As long as we are alive, there is hope. Don't give up and wait for your chance. "Just as she said this, footsteps came from outside the stone cell. The four of them tensed up. Xuanyue said in a low voice, "Lie down and pretend to faint. Let's see what they are going to do to us. "With that, she quickly lay down on the withered grass and closed her eyes. Although they were in a desperate situation, she could still maintain her calm. This was the benefit of practicing Holy Light Magic.
"Creak." An ear-piercing sound rang out. A thick stone door opened on the right side of the sealed stone cell. Dim light shone in from outside. With the help of the dim light, Dumb squinted his eyes and saw Xuanyue not far from him. Oliveira and Kino were on the other side. A total of five people walked in. Seeing the four tall and slightly hunched figures, Dumb was shocked. It was the four Grand Elder and the leader of the Yakin people, Tiya. Tiya held an oil lamp in her hand. This was where the dim light came from.
Grand Elder Tian Luo looked at the four people lying on the ground and smiled. "I know you are awake. Get up. We should talk."
The four of them didn't move and maintained their original positions. Tian Luo used his wooden staff to support his aged body. "Your spiritual energy has been sealed by us. I can clearly feel all of your spiritual fluctuations. Get up. I mean you no harm."
Xuanyue was the first to sit up. She was surprised to find that she could somewhat control her body. Since the other party could feel her spiritual fluctuations, there was no point in continuing to pretend. Her beautiful eyes were filled with hatred as she stared at the four Grand Elder. "Kill us if you want, but don't think of humiliating us."
Elder Tenra glanced at Tiya. "I know you all have powerful forces behind you, but we are not afraid. No one will know that you are imprisoned by the Yakin people." He stared at them with a burning gaze. After a pause, he continued. "We have already figured out the whole story. This conflict was completely caused by a misunderstanding. Therefore, I am not going to make things difficult for you. Please do not be nervous. "
Hearing his words, Dumby was stunned and said, "Does that mean you're willing to let us go?" He was a little confused. Why would the Yakin people let them go when they had the upper hand? Were they not afraid of revenge?
Elder Tenra said, "Yes, we are willing to let you go. But there are some things that must be made clear. Chief. "He called out to Tiya.
Tia's delicate body trembled. She took a few steps forward with the oil lamp in her hand and walked to Elder Tian Luo's side. Under the dim light of the oil lamp, her beautiful face seemed to be covered in a layer of haziness. She bowed slightly toward Dumby and the others and said calmly, "I was too rash earlier. Please forgive me."
Dumb and the others were all stunned. The Yakin people's refusal filled them with confusion. Dumb was a simple person. Seeing that the other party had apologized, he murmured, "We were also in the wrong. We shouldn't have destroyed the gate of Andis City."
Elder Tenra smiled. "Since the misunderstanding has been cleared up, there is no longer any hatred between us. As for what happened at the east gate, we sealed off your spirit power and you suffered a lot. Let's just forget about it. "He brushed off everything with a few words. Among the four of them, Xuan Yue was the calmest. She clearly understood that the reason why this elder of the Quasi-Gold Tribe was so amiable was because he had something to ask the four of them for help. Thus, she said coldly, "In that case, you should remove our restrictions first." Based on the analysis of soul magic, once the Inhibition was removed, the Yakin people would not be able to control the four of them. If that was the case, they would have the upper hand again.
Elder Tenra's gaze seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. He stared at Xuanyue. His old voice sounded in her mind. "Little girl, don't worry. If I'm not wrong, your name should be Xuanyue. Your friends don't know about your disguise, do they? You should have a close relationship with that young man named Dumb. "
Xuanyue was shocked. She cried out involuntarily, "How did you know?"
Elder Tian Luo said sternly, "I will remove the restraints on your bodies. However, before I remove the restraints, I have to tell you something. Two years ago, I received a letter from the Puyan people's prophet, Prín. He mentioned a lot in the letter, especially about the savior. I can roughly guess your identity. This is also why I didn't make things difficult for you. The prophet, Prín, and the four of us have been friends for many years. I have absolute faith in his divination. So, I don't want you to be hostile to the Yakin people. Not only are we not your enemies, but we should be allies on the same side as you. "
Dumb was shocked. He said, "Do you know the prophet, Prín?" Among all the people he knew, the prophet, Prín, was one of the people he respected the most. Every time he thought of the prophet, who was willing to use his own life as the price for divination for his people, Dumb would feel sincere respect. Once he heard that the four Grand Elder knew the prophet, Prín, the hidden hostility in his heart suddenly weakened a lot.
Xuanyue had already given in when the Grand Elder said that she was a girl. Since the day Dumb rejected her, she had decided that unless Dumb changed his mind, she would never let him know her identity. She said indifferently, "So you are a friend of the prophet, Prín. It seems that there is really a misunderstanding. My sister, Xuanyue, and Brother Dumb were once taught by the prophet, Prín. Don't worry, we will no longer be enemies with the Yakin people. I am willing to swear in the name of the gods. "
The Grand Elder naturally understood that Xuanyue was unwilling to reveal her true identity. He smiled and said, "That would be best. But there is no need to swear. I trust you. Alright, relax your whole body and guard your spirits with your thoughts. I will now explain the spiritual seal to you. " As he said that, he and the other three elders closed their eyes at the same time. Their right hands drew a complicated trajectory in the air and formed a handprint in front of their chests. "Unravel —" "Unravel —" "Unravel —" The four old and low voices sounded. In the ears of Dumb and the other three, it was as shocking as the morning bell and evening drum. The four of them trembled at the same time. A clear airflow wandered in their minds like they were enlightened. The illusion and blurriness in their minds gradually disappeared under the effect of the airflow. They found that they had regained control of their bodies. Dumb's body was the strongest. He straightened his back and stood up from the ground. He tried to activate the second golden body in his Dantian. A white light penetrated his body. His power had been restored.
Xuanyue, Oliveira, and Kino also stood up. The spiritual seal had just been lifted, so they were still very tired. The Grand Elder said, "I'm sorry to have you here. Please come with us." As he said that, the four Grand Elder and Tiya turned and walked out of the stone house together. Xuanyue used her spiritual power to tell Oliveira and Kino not to be impulsive because of what had happened before. They should wait and see what the four elders had to say before making any plans.
Dumby and Mystic Moon looked at each other. They both felt as if they had been given a new lease on life. Taking a deep breath, they followed behind the four elders. As they walked, Dumb asked Xuanyue through telepathy, "Brother, do you think what the four elders said is true? Do they really know the prophet Prín? "
Xuanyue nodded gently. "It should be true. Otherwise, they would not have mentioned the prophet Prín and pointed out that you are the savior. Only the prophet Prín, my sister, and the people of the Holy Hall know about this. Since they are so polite, it seems that they have something to ask of us. Let's go and see what they want to do. For the sake of the prophet Prín, let's forget about what happened before. " She was not a fussy person. Moreover, the Grand Elder already knew that she was in disguise. In order to keep this secret, she could not have a conflict with the other party now.
Dumb did not want to be enemies with others. After listening to Xuanyue's words, he smiled and nodded. He said through telepathy, "Okay, I will listen to you. Anyway, my power has been restored, and I will not give them a chance to use soul magic to attack again. " At the same time, he had already used the Genuine Qi to condense around the acupuncture point between his eyebrows where the spiritual force was located. Even if the four Grand Elder made a move again, he was confident that he could withstand it. In a short time, he was sure that the four elders could no longer use their spiritual force to hurt the four of them.
The group walked along the long passageway. After the time it took to brew a pot of tea, a set of stone steps appeared in front of them. Tia was at the front. She led the group to the top of the stone steps, opened the thick stone door, and let everyone out. It was nighttime in the outside world, and the fresh air hit Dumby's face. Dumby felt an unprecedented sense of comfort. It felt good to regain freedom!
There was no expression on Tiya's pretty face. As she led the way, she said calmly, "This is my mansion. Let's talk in the living room."
The Patriarch's Mansion was just an ordinary courtyard without many decorations. There were only a few tall ancient trees in the courtyard. The night breeze gently moved, making a rustling sound. The uneven and dancing shadows of the trees swayed slightly under the moonlight, giving people a sense of tranquility. Every ten meters or so, there was a guard of the Yakin people. Although they were on duty at night, they were all full of energy. Dumb could clearly feel that they were not weak from their aura. Xuanyue tightened her grip on the Angel's Staff in her hand. In the short time since coming out of the stone prison, she found that her magic power had been restored to about eighty percent. Her heart was at ease. With the guarantee of strength, she was much more at ease.
Tiya led the crowd to the Patriarch's Mansion's hall. The hall was decorated in an antique style. There was a landscape painting of clouds and mist hanging on the wall facing the door. Below the painting were two large rattan chairs, and in the middle of the chairs was a tea table with a copper incense burner. On the two sides of the main seat, there were eight rattan chairs arranged neatly. Every two rattan chairs had a small wooden table. This was the place where the Yakin people discussed matters. Tiya walked to the main seat at the front and put the oil lamp next to the incense burner. She gestured to Dumb and the four elders. "Please sit."
The four elders sat on the right side. Dumb and the others sat opposite them. Tiya sat in the main seat. She clapped her hands lightly, and two maids walked in from the back of the hall with trays. They were clearly prepared. They placed a teacup next to each of them. After seven days in a coma, Dumb and the others were already hungry and thirsty. They didn't stand on ceremony. They picked up the teacup in their hands and opened the lid. A fragrant smell wafted into their nostrils. The familiar smell surprised Dumb. It was the amber dew they had drunk in the Golden Jade Building.
Tiya said, "This is the amber dew produced by the Golden Jade Building. It has the effect of nourishing vitality. I'm sorry for the inconvenience of the past few days. Please feel free to use it. It will be good for your bodies. "
After drinking a cup of Amber Dew and being nourished by the warm steam, Dumby and the others immediately felt much more comfortable. It was Kino's first time drinking something so delicious. He couldn't help but show a look of surprise in his eyes. He looked like he wanted more.
Xuanyue put down the teacup in her hand and looked at Elder Tenra. "You can tell me if there's anything else."
Elder Tenra nodded slightly and winked at Tiya. Tiya took a deep breath. When she learned the identity of Dumb and the others from Elder Tenra, she was very surprised. Even now, she still couldn't calm down. She bowed slightly and said, "I apologize again. I was too capricious before. Please forgive me."
Xuanyue said, "It's all in the past. For the sake of the Puyan people Prín, we won't hold it against you. Besides, you're already being merciful by not killing us. "
Tiya looked at Xuanyue with a strange look in her eyes. Elder Tenra didn't tell her that Xuanyue was a woman. Until now, she still thought of Xuanyue as the handsome priest of the Holy Hall. The strength that Xuan Yue had displayed when she was fighting against the four elders had left a deep impression in Tia's heart. She was especially impressed by Xuan Yue's determination to resist until the very end. She smiled and said, "I invited all of you here because I have something to discuss with you. I'm sure you know that the Yakin people have only been rising for a short time. A thousand years ago, my ancestors were nobles of the Tenjin Empire. Later, they came to the land of the Yakin people for various reasons. After generations of hard work, the Yakin people finally reached the scale that they are today. I heard from Elder Tenra that the continent will soon face a catastrophe that will affect the entire human race. This shocked me. As part of the human race, we Yakin people are very willing to do our part to save the world from this catastrophe. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, we will support you unreservedly. I hope you can accept it. That's all I have to say. "
Xuanyue frowned slightly. Although Tiya said it lightly, she could tell from her words that things weren't that simple. She asked, "This is unconditional help?"
Tiya nodded and said, "Yes, it is unconditional help. We know a little about the Puyan people, and I sympathize with their tragic experience. I have discussed it with the four elders, and we will support you just like the Puyan people. The Tianyuan Continent is the home of the human race. As long as there is a trace of bravery, no one is willing to see it be baptized by a catastrophe. Not only do I hope that the Yakin people can reproduce smoothly, but I also hope that the human race can maintain its prosperity and stability. Please accept our sincerity. "
Dumb looked at Tiya's sincere gaze, and his heart was stirred. Although he had never thought of himself as a savior, he felt his blood boiling at this moment. "Chief Tiya, Prín the Prophet once said that the millennial catastrophe of the continent is unavoidable. Since you are so sincere, how can we not accept it? Although we are weak, if something really happens, we will definitely give it our all. "
Elder Tenra said, "Dumb, our intentions are very clear. We hope that you can remember that the Yakin people will always be your allies. That is enough. Do not belittle yourselves. With the combined strength of the four of you, it is enough to fight against anyone. That day, the four of us won by a narrow margin. If you had persisted for another moment, we would have been the ones to collapse. You are still young, and there is still a lot of room for growth. In the future, if you have time, you must pay more attention to the spiritual level of training. I know that the four of you have the four great powers, the Holy Hall, Tiangang School, the Continental Union of Magicians, and the Sky Gold Magicians Union, behind you. I want to remind you that when you encounter a problem that you cannot solve yourself, the powers behind you will be the greatest help. You must be good at using them, so that you can gather a powerful force to help the human race survive the catastrophe. Alright, that is all I have to say. You have already wasted a lot of time with the Yakin people. You can leave now, no one will stop you. "
Xuanyue stood up and carefully pondered over the words of Elder Tenra. It was only now that she finally felt the horror of the Millennium Catastrophe. Since young, she had never been interested in the political affairs of the Holy Hall. Even when Prín the Prophet said that she and Dumb would be the saviors of the mainland, she did not pay much attention to it. But at this moment, she suddenly understood that her and Dumb's lives were not that simple. Perhaps it was really fate for them to save the humans of the mainland. What awaited them was just like the gatha that Prín the Prophet had said. There would be layers of barriers. Could she and Dumb really cross over successfully?
The four Elders and Tiya personally sent them to the door. Elder Tenra said, "Before we part, I will leave you with a word of advice. Let nature take its course and improve your cultivation. Heaven's will cannot be defied. No one can stop what is going to happen. You can only continue to improve yourself. When the catastrophe comes, only then will you have the ability to fight back. Do not be complacent. The road you have to walk is still very far away. Xuanri, if you meet Lord Pope, please send our regards to him. Tell him that the four souls still miss him. We are old. I'm afraid we won't have the chance to visit him in the future. "
Xuanyue looked at the four mysterious elders in front of her. Her heart was in turmoil. Not only did they know Prín the Prophet, they were even familiar with her grandfather, Pope. It seemed that in the past, they must have been powerful figures on the mainland. She could not help but ask, "Elders, how did you recognize that we are the people that Prín the Prophet had mentioned? Could it be just because of my identity as a priest? "
Elder Tenra smiled faintly and said, "The combination of good and evil, the unity of light and darkness. With the blood of the Phoenix as the guide, we passed through layers upon layers of barriers. With the blood of the Dragon God as the knot, love is eternal. When you were attacked by our Soul Incantation, the blood of the Dragon God and the Phoenix exposed your identity. Now you should understand. "
Xuanyue was suddenly enlightened. She bowed slightly and said, "Take care, Elders. We will take our leave first. If there is a chance in the future, I will ask you for guidance on Soul Magic."
Dumb respected the four experts in front of him who could defeat him. He bowed together with Xuanyue. Just as they turned to leave, they heard Tiya's call. "Wait a minute." Tiya flashed out from behind the four Elders. She walked in front of Xuanyue. Her pretty face was slightly red. She took out a dagger from her bosom and handed it to Xuanyue. She lowered her head and said in a low voice, "This dagger was given to me by my teacher. You are a sorcerer. Use it to defend yourself. " Her beautiful eyes moved. The ruler of the Yakin people, who controlled nearly ten million clansmen, actually showed infinite shyness on her face.
Xuanyue took the dagger subconsciously. She had not yet understood Tiya's meaning. She smiled and said, "Sister, thank you. If there is a chance in the future, we will definitely come back to see you. "She did not see herself as a woman. She only saw Tiya's action as a gift between friends. Dumb was secretly happy for "Xuanri". This leader of the Yakin people was completely worthy of his brother.
Under the gazes of Tiya and the four Elders, Dumb and the others disappeared into the night. Tiya's eyes flickered with a misty look. She could not forget Xuanyue's handsome face for a long time. In her entire life, Xuanyue was the first person who had entered her heart. Elder Tenra looked at Tiya and his heart trembled. As someone who was experienced, he naturally understood that Tiya had misunderstood Xuanyue's identity. However, he did not explain. He believed in fate. He believed that the gods were in charge of everything. He sighed and let nature take its course. Thinking of this, he said, "Lord Leader, now that the matter has been settled, we will go back first." With that, the Fourth Elder bowed slightly to Tiya and turned to walk towards his own residence. They had been living in a secret corner of the Leader's Residence.
Tiya came back to her senses and walked into her room. She gradually calmed down and said in a low voice, "Brothers, you can come out now."
Lian Dan and Zhu Yuan walked out and stared at their little sister with a smile. Tiya was a little disturbed by their stares. Her pretty face blushed again and she said angrily, "Brothers, why are you looking at me like that?" She looked even more charming in her shyness. Lian Dan and Zhu Yuan were a little stunned.
Lian Dan laughed and said, "We are looking at what our little sister who has found love will become! Well, little sister, you have a good taste. That young man named Xuanri is definitely a good match for you. I have never heard of such a young magus before. If you marry him, with such a powerful force as the Holy Hall as your backing, the Yakin people won't have to worry about anything anymore. "
Tiya's pretty face blushed. She lowered her head and murmured, "Eldest brother, you are so annoying. Why are you making fun of me? I, I didn't …"
