Chapter 507 Wall

Song Ci knew that the person he had to deal with was not Jia Wei.

According to Jia Wei.

Today, the Grand Elder would be waiting for the trialists in the latter half of Honghu Lake.

This so-called "latter half" should only be reachable by him—

He stepped onto Honghu Lake and glanced around.

The other six finalists had only taken a hundred steps before their steps became unsteady, as if walking on thin ice.

These people had never truly believed in the light. The spiritual power of faith contained in the water of Honghu Lake rejected these "non-believers," so with each step, the difficulty increased.

Seeing this, Song Ci was even more convinced of his previous idea.

He was different from these people.

He was the Guang Ming Shi Tu (Apostle of Light), personally chosen by the Guang Ming (Light) God to be his spokesperson. If even he could not see the "light," who else could complete this Honghu Lake?

He walked slowly and steadily.

With each step, Song Ci could feel the Honghu Lake water welcoming him.

Bright waves of light guided the way to the end.

Soon, he stood in the center of the lake, where Jia Wei had been sitting for a long time. Ahead was the mist shrouding the lake center—

Ironically.

This Guang Ming Shi Tu (Apostle of Light) stood at the dividing line of the lake center and looked ahead, but could see nothing.

The fog in his heart was so thick that it almost obscured his vision.

The reason was simple: although he was the Guang Ming Shi Tu (Apostle of Light), his heart was not with the light.

In his life, he had never truly believed in the God of Light.

……

……

"Song Ci is indeed the fastest."

Luo Yu sighed softly, "The others are too slow… I'm afraid none of them will reach the center of the lake."

Song Ci had completed half the journey, while these people had only just started, with only about one-tenth of the progress.

And one person had already fallen into the water.

"Soon."

Gu Nanfeng watched this scene, his expression unchanged, and only uttered these two words softly.

"Soon?"

Luo Yu was at a loss. He didn't understand what the young master meant by "soon."

But he noticed a detail.

After seeing Song Ci enter the center of the lake, the young master inadvertently touched the hilt of his wooden knife.

Countless people were watching this Honghu Lake trial. The first to fall into the water was the oldest transcendent from the Upper City… He had only taken a hundred steps before suddenly falling into the lake, as if plunging into an ice cave.

Jia Wei sat on the shore of the lake.

At the moment when the transcendent from the Upper City lost his footing, he had already stood up.

In an instant, he disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already at the place where the person had fallen into the water. He grabbed the back of the transcendent's collar with one hand.

"Mr. Frey, your 'trial' is over."

Jia Wei's voice was devoid of emotion.

This extremely fast speed caused an uproar among everyone.

Even Gu Nanfeng narrowed his eyes. Everyone knew that the Guang Ming Bi Lei (Light Barrier) of the Light City's High Inquisitor was the title. So, in everyone's stereotype, this great knight wearing heavy armor should walk very slowly. When he first appeared in Honghu Lake, he did indeed do so.

But now, the speed Jia Wei showed was almost "teleportation."

"So fast?"

Luo Yu clicked his tongue.

He subconsciously looked at the young master, who slowly stood up at this moment.

"I'm going out."

Gu Nanfeng said calmly, "You and Zhong Fan take good care of the Gu family mission, and keep an eye on those Night Watchers… Remember, this is an order."

……

……

"Gu Nanfeng has acted."

Su Ye, who was at the very back of the crowd, had been staring at the Gu family mission. He immediately issued an order in the mental link, "Everyone keep a close watch on the Gu family mission, and keep an eye on those Night Watchers… Report to me immediately if there is any disturbance. If you encounter strong resistance, you can use force if necessary and stop them first."

After the order was issued, Su Ye also began to act.

Gu Nanfeng's speed was very fast.

He walked through the crowd, and behind him came a series of sighs. Without thinking, he knew that the second person to fall into the Honghu Lake had appeared…

But he didn't care.

He had not come here today to watch these people's final selection.

He knew that a spirit was locking onto him. The source of that spirit was Su Ye. Once he left the Gu family mission, Su Ye would stare at him no matter where he went.

Seeing Gu Nanfeng leave the temple.

Su Ye followed closely behind. He had no intention of "mental communication." He just followed behind the young master of the Gu family. He knew that Gu Nanfeng's speed was very fast, but this Light City was not big. As long as his spirit was not lost, there was no need to be nervous.

To take a step back.

What if the spirit was lost?

He knew Gu Nanfeng's destination.

So, the two of them walked through the streets and alleys, leaving the temple and walking in the grand festival of Light City. Gu Nanfeng seemed to be just a tourist. The route he took had no purpose at all.

Su Ye was very patient.

He wasn't in a hurry, and was even very interested in playing such a game with the young master of the Gu family.

……

……

"Lord Luo Yu, why are you sweating so much?"

Zhong Fan, who had come to chat with the Gu family mission, asked with some confusion, "And young master… Where is he?"

After he finished speaking, Zhong Fan suddenly fell silent.

He probably guessed something and was about to turn around and leave immediately.

"Sit down."

Luo Yu pressed his iron hand on the young man's shoulder and gritted his teeth, "Stay in Honghu Lake with the Gu family mission and the Night Watchers honestly. This is the young master's order."

"Young Master Gu chose to act now?"

Zhong Fan couldn't help but turn his head. Of course, he couldn't see anything.

Zhong Fan took a deep breath and asked anxiously, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing beforehand?"

Luo Yu's expression was somewhat helpless.

He couldn't say that it was because the young master was even hiding it from him.

"The young master… has his own arrangements."

Luo Yu could only say that.

He looked at Honghu Lake and met that cold gaze.

Jia Wei was sitting very close to the Gu family mission, so he also saw Gu Nanfeng's departure.

Today's Honghu Lake trial was coming to an end. Apart from Song Ci, the six finalists were all walking very slowly. Now, five of them had fallen into the water, and the last one had unexpectedly persisted for a long time.

The last person was about to reach the center of the lake.

Having seen Song Ci walking on flat ground, the performance of these finalists was really hard to describe with the word "wonderful."

The originally lively and noisy Honghu Lake was much quieter now.

As the sky gradually darkened, the twilight enveloped the lake, and the afterglow of the dusk gradually trailed. The motivation to support these people to watch was partly to witness "Song Ci" reaching the end of Honghu Lake, and the other part was to see the real "sunset" next to Sunset Mountain.

Many people had come to watch the Honghu Lake trial.

But so far, it didn't seem like the excitement that everyone had expected had happened.

The last finalist finally couldn't hold on before reaching the center of the lake and fell down tremblingly… As long as they weren't believers of the light, they would need to consume spiritual power on this Honghu Lake, even if they did nothing.

The man fell straight down, but there was no expected splash.

Jia Wei teleported out several miles and, like bringing back the previous trialists… brought the last person back to the shore of Honghu Lake.

At this moment, the "final selection trial" of Honghu Lake had actually ended.

Because of the existence of the mist in the center of the lake.

The Tian Yan (Heavenly Eye) couldn't capture the scene in the latter half.

All that everyone could wait for was a final result.

After Jia Wei rescued all six finalists, he prepared to leave the shore of the lake… The first half of the trial that he needed to supervise had ended. Now, he could return to the boundary of the mist in the center of the lake and return to his meditation state.

But he didn't go back.

He stood on the shore of the lake, looked meaningfully at the empty seat of the Gu family mission, and then walked towards the crowd.

The onlookers on the shore of Honghu Lake looked blank and subconsciously squeezed to both sides to make way.

That was the direction to leave the temple.

They didn't know what the High Inquisitor was going to do, but it was said that Jia Wei had been meditating in Honghu Lake for a long time.

If it wasn't for an extremely important and urgent matter, he would never leave this place.

This was also the origin of the title Honghu Lake Guardian.

Now that the Honghu Lake final selection was coming to an end, was there something that required the High Inquisitor to personally take action?

Just as everyone was confused and making way… another figure who was originally inconspicuous stood out from the crowd.

Because everyone had made way.

But he didn't make way.

He was wearing a cloak and black shirt, standing in the crowd. If these people hadn't retreated, he would have been just another spectator on the shore of Honghu Lake today, like thousands of other spectators.

But those people retreated.

Only he was left on the entire shore of the lake.

"Ka-cha… Ka-cha…"

Jia Wei's footsteps were slow and heavy, crushing many stones along the way.

He gave the crowd plenty of time to react, and also gave the alternative who hadn't retreated enough time to retreat, but in the end, the situation didn't change in the slightest.

The crowd was like a tide, divided into two sides.

The road that was made was covered with dense stones.

And a figure in a black shirt blocking the middle of the road.

"Boom—"

The grand flames of light burned in the silhouette of the twilight lake. The great knight wearing bright light armor drew his spear and began to charge and accelerate. His bright light armor bloomed with dazzling light, and he alone burst out with a magnificent momentum comparable to thousands of troops. Those spectators who had retreated in succession were stunned by this scene. They never expected that the High Inquisitor would attack with his spear.

The bright flames shot straight for hundreds of meters.

The deafening explosion sound did not trigger in the tranquil lake.

This spear was very fast.

No one in the field could see the trajectory of this light-breaking spear—

Six years ago, this spear was enough to shatter the defense of the Vermilion Bird Envoy.

Six years had passed.

Jia Wei had become even stronger, and this spear had become even sharper.

But unfortunately, this spear did not hit the person Jia Wei wanted to hit.

The scorching light dissipated.

The figure wearing the black cloak appeared.

His toe was on the spear.

The spear pressed down slightly.

The explosive force contained in the tip of the spear was suppressed by a skillful force, and could not be released.

The shore of Honghu Lake was silent.

The various missions, the loose cultivators of the five continents, the temple elders, the High Inquisitors, the heavy armor guards, and those who had been dismissed from Sunset Mountain were all staring blankly at this scene.

Especially those temple elders, their eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets.

Because they knew too well the horror of Jia Wei's spear.

That was why they felt like they were in a dream.

"I heard that someone in Light City has inherited the title Bi Lei (Barrier) left by Mr. Gu Changzhi back then. Seeing it today, I am very disappointed…"

A light voice echoed in the sky above the temple.

Twilight, Honghu Lake, only a few crows were cawing.

Gu Shen, standing on the light-breaking spear, looked down at Jia Wei, who was wearing bright light armor.

He asked word by word, expressionless.

"Are you worthy to be called Bi Lei (Barrier)?"
