Rustle! Following the rustling of the grass vines, a fiery-red squirrel entered the cave as fast as lightning. Seeing the squirrel, the gloomy crowd loosened their grip on their swords as the nervousness on their faces disappeared.
Someone said with a laugh, "Night, sister-in-law has sent you another message."
Guang Han couldn't hear the relationship between Ling Ye and Ling Ye clearly, but he could not hide it from his brothers who were together with Ling Ye day and night.
The people in the dark had long known about their relationship, but neither of them dared to reveal it to the public. After dozens of years of being together, their relationship was as close as brothers, and they developed an extraordinary tacit understanding.
Hearing his brothers joking, Ling Ye didn't mind. He happily reached out his hand, and said softly: "Huo'er, how did you come to find this place!"
The squirrel had a keen sense of smell, and even if it did not open the shell of the nut, he could tell by his sense of smell whether there was a fruit in it. However, a shrewd squirrel was rare, and this one called Little Flame was extremely intelligent.
Due to Little Flame's small size, it could enter and exit the Serene Hall at will. It was also because of the fact that it frequently went in and out of the Serene Hall that most of the people in the darkness recognized it.
Huo'er agilely jumped onto Ling Ye's palm. She squeaked as she scratched at his palm with her little claws. Ling Ye laughed. Seeing that Little Flame was wearing a letter on its body, he stopped smiling and tore off the letter and then placed Little Flame on his shoulder.
He opened the letter and closed his eyes to read it carefully. After reading it, his expression changed and he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Everyone turned their heads to look at him. Seeing that Ling Ye's face was extremely serious and was staring at the letter without blinking, he could not help but ask: "Ye, what's wrong? Has something happened? "
"But did sister-in-law get bullied?"
Under the chorus of everyone's questions, Ling Ye finally regained his senses. The palm he used to hold the letter in his hands trembled slightly, narrowed his eyes, and said faintly: "Holy King ? Holy King wants to get rid of us ? "
"What?" These words were like a bomb that had exploded in the middle of people. All the Youan Crew stood up at the same time, staring at Ling Ye with eyes as wide as bells and asked in disbelief, "Ye, you ? What did you just say? What is the Holy King going to do to us? "
"Holy King, get rid of all of us!" Ling Ye clenched his fists tightly and threw the letter at everyone. Youan Crew rushed forward and took the letter.
Zi Yue wrote in a very detailed manner, detailing everything that had happened today, as well as why the Holy King wanted to get rid of the darkness and what methods she planned to use to do so.
After everyone saw this, they were all dumbfounded. All of them were dumbstruck as they stood there motionlessly.
"This... Impossible, we are loyal to the Holy King, and have done so many things for him, how could the Holy King ? Why would they want to kill us?! "
A young Youan Crew sat on the ground like a deflated balloon, tears flowing down her face as she spoke.
"Moon ?" She won't lie to me, the letter has already made it very clear that the Holy King no longer needs us, our existence will only become the Holy King's greatest weakness, and also the greatest threat to the Holy King. Right now, rumors are rising everywhere in the Divine Pool, if Holy King wants to protect the throne, protect his reputation and position in the Divine Pool, he can only kill us to keep us from being discovered, so that no one can ever find out about us. " Ling Ye muttered.
"No, no!" A big sized man rushed out of the crowd and rushed towards Ling Ye, grabbing onto Ling Ye's clothes, forcefully lifting him up, he roared out loud: "We were all raised by the Holy King, just like how children of the Holy King, how could the Holy King kill us all? This letter must be fake, someone must be trying to sow discord ? " While he was talking, he looked around at the people around him and shouted, "Why don't you all talk for a bit!"
No one said anything. The surrounding people all lowered their heads. Their expressions were dejected, sad, and silent. No one was willing to believe that the contents of the letter was true, but just as Ling Ye had said, Zi Yue would not lie to them, and even more so, would not sow discord between them.
"All of you talk ?" The big sized man loosened his grip on Ling Ye's clothes and slid down to the ground softly, then punched the ground with his fists and cried.
As soon as he cried, sobs arose from the surroundings. They were not afraid of death, and for the sake of the Holy King, they could sacrifice their lives at any time. All this time, the Holy King had been their spiritual pillar, and was also the source of their energy, but now, the person who wanted to kill them and scheme against them was the Holy King. That feeling of being abandoned, that feeling of being deceived, and that feeling of humiliation of being betrayed, was even worse than killing them ten or a hundred times.
"Don't cry! What's the use of crying! "
One of the Youan Crew bellowed angrily, he walked to Ling Ye and said: "Ye, you are our leader, whatever you ask of us, we will do, we will do, this time, we will listen to you, tell us, what should we do now?"
Hearing his words, the sobbing people all stopped. They raised their heads and looked at Ling Ye.
"If you want to die, it's easy. You don't need the Holy King's scheme to kill us." Ling Ye patted the sword at his ribs, and said solemnly: "We can end it ourselves!" As he spoke, he raised his head to look at the crowd.
This time, no one responded to him. He ended it on his own? Was there a more humiliating way of dying than this in the world? Even if he died tragically on the battlefield, being dismembered into countless pieces and dying without a burial ground, it was still thousands of times better than silently humiliating himself to death.
"Ye, what did you promise us back then? You said, as long as we do our best for the Holy King, there would be a day when we will live a normal life, live under the sun, and get married and have children. You want us all to commit suicide? "Are you worthy of our brothers?"
"Is that what I mean?" Ling Ye became anxious, he bent down and grabbed the letter on the ground, then raised it high up in the air and bellowed: "This is Holy King's will! Holy King wants to get rid of all of us, including me, do you think I am willing? "
A single sentence rendered everyone speechless. Many people leaned against the walls of the cave and slowly slid down to the ground, crying in low voices.
"Forget it!" At that time, all of us brothers made a vow, not to be born on the same day, but to die on the same day. This time, Holy King will help us fulfil our vow. "
While speaking, one of the Youan Crew s suddenly pulled out his sword, placed it across her neck, looked at the people, and said loudly: "Brothers, we are leaving first!" As he spoke, he was about to erase his sword.
Seeing that, all the surrounding people rushed forward, some of them knocked the sword out of his hand, while others pressed him to the ground, and everyone shouted: "Jian Jiu, are you crazy?!"
"Crazy, I'm crazy, we don't even have a name, even a name was given to us by the Holy King, now the Holy King doesn't need us, we have become a burden to the Holy King, where can we go?"
"?" Everyone was speechless.
"If we want to live, if we want to live a normal life, there's only one way we can go!" Seeing that the bedding in front of him was done, and everyone's state of mind fell into despair and collapse, Ling Ye slowly spoke of his hope.
His words caused everyone's spirits to rise. Everyone looked up at him and asked in unison, "Ye, what is the road you're talking about?"
"Think of a way to escape the Divine Pool!" Ling Ye squinted his eyes and said word by word.
People drew in their breath, and then they shuddered, and the hope that had just sprouted in their hearts was shattered. Some people laughed and lamented, "Flee? Where can we escape to? Where in the world are we supposed to be? In order to comply with the orders given by the Holy King, who knows how many infants we have captured in the various countries and how many we have killed, our hands are already stained with the blood of the people of the world. If we leave the protection of the Divine Pool and the Holy King, where can we go?
"Yeah, even if we escape with our Divine Pool, in the end, there's only death!"
"Not necessarily. There's a place we can go to!" Ling Ye said slowly.
"Where?"
"Feng Country!"
"Feng Country?"
"That's right!" Feng King is a Spirit Cultivator of Dark, she can definitely tolerate us! "
"But don't forget Ye, back then, we also had infants who kidnapped Feng Country, and commoners who killed Feng Country as well ?"
At that time, we were only following the orders given by the Holy King. To put it bluntly, we were just tools in the hands of the Holy King, the real culprits to capture and kill the Feng Country infants were the Holy King s! Ling Ye said resolutely.
If it was the past, his words were outrageous and unforgivable, even the Youan Crew that was like his brother would fall out with him because of his words. But now, no one blamed him anymore, they all nodded, thinking that Ling Ye's words were reasonable.
Someone stood out and said, "But ?" Would Feng King believe our words? I'm afraid that if we escape to the Feng Country, we would still be killed by the people of Wind! "

Ling Ye suddenly laughed, and changed the topic, asking: "Do you all still remember the mission that I went to the Chuan Country alone?"
"Of course I do. Didn't we fail that mission? "
"Yes!" Even I was unable to escape and was captured alive in the King Chuan Palace! "
"Huh?" Everyone widened their eyes as they looked at him in disbelief. With Ling Ye's Soul Martial Arts, how could he be captured alive? Furthermore, he was captured, so how did he manage to recover his Divine Pool? It can't be that the People of Chuan Country released him again, right?
