"Then, then there's really no room for discussion. What should we do?" Tian Yin glanced at Li Xiang and forced herself to calm down.
"Anyway, only the Chanlu Temple Dojo and the Holy Cloth Church are related to me. We can't afford to offend them, so why can't we just hide? At most, you can leave with us today. I can arrange for you to stay in City 0126. There are many of my friends there. No matter how long the Feng family and the Yue family's hands are, they can't reach all of us. "
Li Xiang said indifferently. He knew that City 0126 was now completely under the control of Wang Haisheng and Scarlet Moon. It was originally a very chaotic, rundown, and resource-poor numbered city. It did not even have a large family force. Even if it rose now, other forces would not invade for the time being.
That was their territory.
"This … Father, what do you think?" Tian Yin couldn't make a decision on such a big matter. She turned to look at her father who was coughing.
The man had a difficult expression on his face. However, he looked at his family. His wife was defenseless, and his two young daughters were still in the martial arts center. He was also seriously injured. If the two great families really wanted to deal with the martial arts center, he would undoubtedly die.
"You are so hesitant because of the Chanlu Temple Array Base, right?" Hestria, who had been teasing Tom, suddenly said.
Only then did everyone remember that there was a maid here.
Chanlu Temple Tianhu (Tian Yin's father's name) trembled and looked at Hestria very warily. This was his biggest secret!
"Your injury was not caused by fighting, but by nourishing the array base." Hestria did not stop and continued, "When I saw the torii outside the door, at first I thought it was just a decoration, but when I saw your injury when you kept coughing, I understood. This is the ancient secret technique [Sacrifice], right?"
"You, who are you! How do you know our ancient secret technique! " Chanlu Temple Tianhu looked at Hestria as if he was facing a great enemy. He didn't even tell his wife and daughter this secret. He had always said that his injury was caused by the star vortex.
He didn't expect to be directly exposed by Hestria here.
Seeing Chanlu Temple Tianhu's reaction, Li Xiang knew that Hestria was right.
He was silent and did not speak, waiting for the next words. Hestria wasn't a brainless person. She must have her reasons for doing so.
"Me? Your ancient martial arts are not a secret in our circle. Besides, your [Sacrifice] should have been completed by Lulu Kiana. I am very familiar with her aura. "Hestria pursed her lips and chuckled. She then looked at Li Xiang.
Lulu Kiana was the creator of [Purify Filth]. She was also the first guild leader of the Holy Server Church. She was a Level 1 Magician player.
From Hestria's tone, it was obvious that she knew this player. But even though she knew that Li Xiang wanted to learn this, she never mentioned it. This blonde maid's bad taste was really strange sometimes.
"Your circle? Don't tell me you're … "Chanlu Temple's Tianhu swallowed his saliva. His wife and daughter did not know the reason for his reaction, but he had a terrifying guess …
"Yes, I'm a player. The Ancient Martial Arts Secret Technique was not a secret in the players' circle, not to mention the extremely special Ancient Martial Arts Formation [Sacrifice]. By the way, I'm also very familiar with Lulu Kiana, so you can't hide it from me. " Hestria smiled. "She's not dead. She's already a Level 2 player. Now her full name is Lulu Kiana Psy."
She then looked at Li Xiang again.
This was one shocking piece of news after another.
Psy was ranked twenty-third in the Greek alphabet. Obviously, she was also one of the twenty-four members of the Rose Maids.
The youngest among them was Osna Omega, who sealed the Heart of Disaster for Li Xiang last time.
"What? My lord, you just said that the guild leader is not dead? Is that true? " Snow, who had been silent, could not sit still anymore. She gathered her courage and asked, "Then, then why didn't she come to help the church? The church can't hold on much longer."
"Because her life no longer belongs to her. It belongs to our great master. Lulu was sent to the Great Wall of Disaster to train for a year. The deadline will only expire in the second half of next year. During this period, she is not allowed to leave without permission," Hestria said calmly. "Who asked her to violate our master's taboo?"
Master?! A Level 2 player was exiled to the Great Wall of Disaster just because she annoyed her master!
Tianhu and the others suddenly looked at Li Xiang with strange expressions.
He was with Hestria, who was wearing a maid's outfit. She had always followed his lead.
"Ah, don't think too much. How can I be the master of a group of players? Hestria is my teacher." Li Xiang did not want to dwell on it too much. He quickly changed the topic. "Let's talk about the formation base and the [Sacrifice]. What's going on?"
"Ah, we have to start from when we were in District 2 of the Subcontinent. I'm ashamed to say that we, the Chanlu Temple, were originally from District 1 of the Subcontinent. Back then, during the Blue Planet era, the Chanlu Temple was passed down as one of the Seven Branches of Ancient Martial Arts. However, it gradually withered. In my generation, we no longer had the glory of the past. We were forced to live in the Sakura Shrine in District 2 of the Subcontinent. But we didn't expect … "
"The Sakura Shrine was a formation point used to suppress the disasters!"
"Hundreds of years ago, during the bloody war between humans and the disasters, although our ancestors drove them out, many of them still remained in the seven continents. These disasters fell into a deep slumber. Humans, who could no longer fight, could only suppress them temporarily. In the long run, it became like this," Hestria explained. "By the way, don't ask such a childish question as why we didn't kill them all. You'll know when you have the chance to become players. Otherwise, you'll only get yourself killed."
"That's right! Lady Hestria is right. In short, the Sakura Shrine was about to disappear as a suppression point. We could only rely on the ancient martial arts of the Chanlu Temple to continue. Your grandfather died because of the [Sacrifice]. He used his own flesh and blood to prolong the suppression. "
"Grandfather …" The silent Chanlu Temple Haitang remembered the old man who used to laugh and make candy for her when she was young. She didn't know when the old man disappeared, and she didn't laugh anymore.
"And when it came to me … I was really ashamed. My ancient martial arts skills weren't good enough. Even the [Sacrifice] was useless. That was why I asked Luo-sama, who happened to pass by, to carve a magic formation base in my body and then fix it on the torii to continue the suppression." Chanlu Temple Tianhu sighed.
"Because every time the torii migrates, it has to be rebuilt. Every time it's removed, the person who sacrificed it will suffer a terrible injury. With your body's condition, it would be difficult for you to endure a second time. If you forcefully leave and destroy the formation base, not only will you die, but the torii and suppression will also lose their effect, "Hestria added.
Chanlu Temple Tianhu nodded helplessly. This was also one of the reasons why he didn't leave and would never give up on the dojo.
"But, but Father! You don't have to sacrifice your life for these things, do you? Whether it's the torii, the suppression, or the formation base, if you give up, wouldn't everything be fine? "
Thinking of the old man, Haitang suddenly spoke. A trace of confusion and anger appeared on her cold face.
On what basis?
Why did they have to sacrifice their family members to protect a family like the Feng Family?
"Haitang! What nonsense are you saying! "
