Bulwark of Light

Chapter 403

Everyone in Snow Forbidden City knows about it.

Zhu Wang's greatest wish in life is to become the "Grand Adjudicator", and everything he has done in the past 20 years has been based on this ultimate goal.

just.

For so many years, there has always been a person on the top of the mountain who has firmly held him down.

But just a year ago, he fulfilled his greatest "wish".

He finally became the Grand Adjudicator of the Tribunal.

Although... it's only "temporary".

But after he took office, Nagano’s ruling was consolidated by him with iron and blood, and he condensed it into a monolith. In fact, Zhu Wang was able to sit in the political center of Nagano for 20 years because he was good at "communication" and was a big force in Nagano. Combine vertically and horizontally to ensure that he has a place in the parliament and can form a balanced trend with "Mr. Tree".

No one likes an "unfettered" titled powerhouse.

Under the system of the three institutes, big shots prefer to sit down and agree on rules together.

So Mr. Shu is destined to travel to Dongzhou.

And after Zhu Wang took office, he immediately mobilized his greatest strength to push for the addition proposal of the Grand Adjudicator. This proposal was actually for his own consideration... If Zhou Jiren "returned triumphantly" from the fortress of Phiyue City one day , then whether or not the so-called [Old World Waterway] is actually discovered, its contribution and feats to the human world are beyond comparison.

In that case.

It is impossible for him to keep the position of Grand Adjudicator.

Therefore, he needs the parliament to add a grand adjudicator!
But this is not an easy task.

First of all... the reason why he was able to become the current Grand Adjudicator was not because the previous Grand Adjudicator resigned or died, but because of force majeure and unexpected circumstances, he chose a "temporary" to take over and endowed him with the adjudication the highest authority.

But if the proposal is passed, it means that the parliament agrees with Zhu Wang's proposal.

The adjudication office needs two grand adjudicators.

What if...Zhou Jiren didn't come back?
So besides Zhu Wang, is it necessary to find another "temporary adjudicator"?
Of course, in Zhu Wang's proposal, he considered all kinds of situations for the council, and he strongly recommended his lover Han Dang.

Han Dang, who is only one step away from the "title", does not have the strength to sit on the position of Grand Adjudicator.

But he is indeed the closest person to this position.

Bai Chen had already served as the "acting chief judge" of the prison before he was given the title. This is an encouragement, but also a signal... This case is considered a precedent, but Zhu Wang's proposal is too purposeful. Strongly, Parliament did not give an answer.

Everyone is waiting for news from Zhou Jiren.

A year has passed.

The Wonderful Realm of Phi Yue City keeps expanding, and it is about to reach the city wall. The Rusty-Bone Fourth Legion retreats again and again... It seems that Beizhou's patience is about to run out. At that time, there was no news about Zhou Jiren, maybe the council would consider reshuffle the inside of the tribunal.

At that time, the Tribunal will need a strong "leader".

And Zhu Wang is the perfect candidate.

As a feedback of support... the success rate of this proposal will be greatly improved.

Just no one knows.

Under Zhu Wang's seemingly "perfect" proposal, there is actually a big problem.

That is his "beloved apprentice" Han Dang, whose cultivation status has been getting worse and worse over the past year.

To become a "title", I am afraid it will take a long, long time.

……

……

"Crack!"

The bathroom mirror was smashed with a heavy blow.

Han Dang looked at himself torn apart in the mirror, and covered his forehead with one hand. The feminine and handsome face gradually became distorted and hideous... The spiritual seeds of [Tiantong] broke out again and again.

The more he wants to fight.

The deeper the quagmire.

Actually... the hypnosis of this spiritual seed is not that powerful.

When Luo Er was applying hypnosis, he just hoped that Han Dang would feel remorse for his actions.

The most painful thing in this world is not weakness.

It's "not strong enough".

If Han Dang is too weak and too far away from [Tian Tong], then he will not be aware of the existence of this spiritual seed at all, he will obey the hypnotic sound of the seed, feel guilty and repent from the bottom of his heart, and then The hypnotic seed dissipated by itself.

Just act like... nothing happened.

Everything vanished.

However, he has strength, but his strength is not strong enough.

So I realized the hypnosis that guides "guilt", and I kept fighting and failing.

This is the real source of pain.

this year.

Han Dang's spirit was tortured to the point of collapse... He tried many methods, and even found the title of Dongzhou's spiritual department, but the answers he got were all the same.

They have no way to undo this seed.

The trouble should end it.

Or, [Tian Tong] will come in person to relieve the hypnosis.

Or... the power of the caster is far higher than [Sky Eye].

Where can I find such a person?

The broken mirror in the bathroom was restored one by one, glued together, and pieced back together into a complete mirror... The tingling pain in his mind receded, and Han Dang stared at the panting face in the mirror, feeling surprised calm.

Sometimes, he feels that fate has tricked people.

The pain I have experienced seems to have been arranged by God early on.

If it wasn't for 【Sky Eye】disappearing in the fortress of Phi Yue City...then this year's uninterrupted mental torture might have made him lower his haughty head to find the only "bell-breaker" to break the hypnosis.

But...【Sky Eye】disappeared.

In this world, no one knows where she is.

I couldn't find it even though I was looking for it.

So no matter how painful Han Dang was, he could only endure it!

Han Dang simply finished washing.

He rubbed his cheeks and regained his composure. He wiped his five fingers across the mirror, wiping away all the mist. Now, when he looked in the mirror again, he couldn't see the face on the opposite side. A hellish mental torture.

He came out of the bathroom calmly and put on a bathrobe.

The doorbell rang outside the door.

"...?"

Han Dang frowned slightly.

He knew that his reputation was great in the tribunal.

But the reputation that really spreads outside is not good.

Many people secretly call themselves "smiling tiger".

Looking around the entire Forbidden Snow City, he couldn't find a single true friend.

So on weekdays, almost no one will visit the residence.

Who is it?
At this juncture... Han Dang took a deep breath. After he opened the door, he saw an unexpected face.

……

……

There were two figures standing outside the door, one old and one young.

The old man was the second elder of the Bai family, and it was Han Dang's "unexpected" face.

Bai Zesheng.

The second-in-command of the Bai Clan's Presbyterian Church is a heavyweight figure, everyone in the Forbidden Snow City knows everyone... But the Bai Clan is closely related to the prison, how could he find his door?

Han Dang looked at another young figure again.

This is a thin and tall "young man" who looks very young, about 20 years old, maybe younger, with a smile on his face... Based on Han Dang's many years of experience in knowing people, this guy's smile Give him a sense of déjà vu.

Many years ago, before he gained power, he laughed like this.

The more "gentle" you smile, the more guarded you need to be.

He stood in front of the door and didn't fully open the door, only half opened.

Obviously, this is to make it clear that these two people are not welcome to enter.

Han Dang knew that he was a disciple of the chief adjudicator of the adjudication office, and now it was a critical stage for the teacher to submit his proposal, so he didn't want to have any private contacts with the second elder of the Bai family...

The other party came to visit.

When he opened the door, it was out of courtesy.

Bai Zesheng didn't seem to notice the guarding action of half-opening the door. He stood in front of the door with a smile, looked at Han Dang, and said softly, "Brother Han, long time no see."

The same opening statement.

Han Dang nodded expressionlessly.

Even the "smiling tiger" can't squeeze out a smile all the time.

Like... now.

He is very tired now and doesn't want to talk too much nonsense.

"You two... I still have something to do..."

But the next moment, Han Dang's voice was interrupted by Bai Zesheng.

The second elder said straight to the point: "I have a way to release the hypnotic seeds of [Tian Tong]."

Han Dang was stunned.

He looked deeply at the old man in front of him.

If the person who said these words was not the highly prestigious Bai Zesheng, he would have simply ignored him.

"But... there is a condition."

Bai Zesheng looked at the young man with a happy face beside him, "Mr. Zhu Wang needs to accept a disciple."

……

……

After half an hour.

Han Dang hung up the communication with his teacher Zhu Wang.

He looks complicated.

Looking back at his own room, he saw the two guests who were regarded as "VIP".

Sitting in the room, Bai Zesheng closed his eyes and rested his mind. The second elder's mood seemed not as calm as it appeared on the surface... He was obviously resting with his eyes closed, but he still tapped his knees lightly with his fingers. This should be a kind of anxiety. reflect.

And the young man next to the second elder has a real "calm look".

Holding tea in both hands, he smiled and said, "Senior brother Han, what did the teacher say?"

"The teacher will be here soon..."

Han Dang sat down and looked at this young man named "Xu Yan", feeling slightly displeased.

Haven't entered the tribunal yet.

The teacher's title has already been used.

For some reason, for this young man, he couldn't feel much appreciation in his heart, even though he already knew... This is a genius with good potential and strong cultivation ability.

But, how could there be such a good thing in this world?
Treat yourself, and send another genius to the teacher's door by the way?

Han Dang is very clear... the sky will not drop pies for no reason, especially not from Bai Zesheng's hands. If this young man is really talented, why not send him to the prison where Bai's acquaintance?

After a moment.

Zhu Wang rushed here.

Even though Han Dang had told him the general situation in advance, when he actually saw Bai Zesheng and this strange young man, he was still a little surprised... "Xu Yan" attracted most of his attention.

"Zesheng."

Zhu Wang's address to the second elder was very gentle.

It was as if the two were best friends.

Bai Zesheng smiled slightly, got up to greet him, and recounted the general history of the matter...

After listening.

Zhu Wang pretended to show a hesitant expression, and said slowly: "Xu Yan... it's not a problem if you want to worship me, it's just..."

He thought it was an easy deal.

The Bai clan needs his reputation as a "Grand Adjudicator", and this disciple may be a little dull... In exchange, he can cure the old illness of his favorite disciple, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Seeing "Xu Yan" for the first time, Zhu Wang felt a surprise.

This is an extraordinary person whose mental power has reached at least the "third stage"... At this age, it is a miracle that extraordinary practice has reached the third stage. It should be noted that the champion of the last rookie battle was only the seventh floor of the deep water area the boundaries.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

He wanted to find out what kind of medicine was sold in Bai Zesheng's gourd.

"Where did Mr. Xu come from?" Zhu Wang asked politely.

Xu Yan didn't answer in person, but turned his head slightly to look at Bai Zesheng.

"He came from a very remote place, in the tundra...without father or mother, he is lonely." Bai Zesheng said with a low eyebrow, "After awakening, he has cultivated so far alone..."

After listening to this speech.

Both Zhu Wang and Han Dang were silent.

Of course they don't take it seriously.

No power, practice alone, and reach the third stage of transcendence at the age of 20?
Ghosts believe it!

Such a thing... even Bai Xiu can't do it!
"The real story, but it doesn't matter," Zhu Wang smiled softly, "Mr. Xu has some criminal records, so it's not convenient to explain it? I can use the [authority] of the chief adjudicator to modify it, as long as this matter has not been [Deep Sea] 】Recorded, the circumstances are not particularly serious, and can be operated.”

Bai Zesheng shook his head.

"There is no criminal record, very innocent."

He said calmly: "You can check Xu Yan's files on the [Deep Sea] network... Born in the tundra, he practiced alone, his life trajectory is all recorded, every year, every month, every day, there are records. Detailed records."

The smile on Zhu Wang's face slowly disappeared.

He looked at Bai Zesheng meaningfully, and then at Xu Yan.

"I don't know."

Zhu Wang looked at Bai Zesheng calmly, "If there is such a genius, why did you send it to my door?"

"I didn't send it."

Bai Zesheng took a sip of tea, trying to control the trembling of his fingers.

He said softly: "Do you want to go and see... the big man who promised to treat the disease?"

……

……

A group of people went to the most remote courtyard in the Forbidden Snow City.

Zhu Wang pushed open the door of the small courtyard.

He smelled the faint scent of wine, and realized something, his expression changed slightly.

And Han Dang, who followed closely, noticed that... the moment he entered the door, all the objects on his body that were connected to [Deep Sea] lost their induction, and the signal was completely blocked.

Xu Yan and Bai Zesheng then entered and closed the door.

A group of people came to the wooden house.

I saw the boy in the dark.

Zhu Wang's expression was difficult to calm down, his breathing became rapid, he turned his head, and looked at Bai Zesheng like he was looking at a madman. , have been explained.

And the latter is a look that I can't help but cast calmly.

Han Dang narrowed his eyes.

Of course he noticed the strangeness of the teacher.

But he hasn't realized yet... Who is that boy sitting in the darkness?

After all, this "truth" is crazy.

Even if he had heard of the name "Dionysus", he didn't dare to think about it.

The aroma of wine wafted in every corner of the wooden house, as if possessing a reassuring magic power. Mr. Jin, who was serving the God of Dionysus, retreated silently, like a shadow, blending into the darkness and disappearing without a trace trace.

And Han Dang turned back again.

He found that his "teacher", Bai Zesheng, and that young man Xu Yan had all disappeared.

He was startled.

This is... what happened?
Soon, he realized that something was wrong, it was fine if Bai Zesheng and Xu Yan disappeared.

The teacher is a titled expert on the [-]th floor of the deep sea!
Han Dang immediately spread out his [Mantra], and in the boundless darkness, after the [Mantra] was unfolded, it seemed to be swallowed by a huge ocean wave... The most desperate thing is that all the words here Everything that happened was silent.

Not even a single wave splashed.

Han Dang's pupils shrank.

He looked at the young man, and the short distance of ten meters seemed to be a moat, and that figure, which was not tall, was like a mountain, still rising and rising...

He wants to crawl.

Want to bend your knees.

Want to kneel.

Want to worship.

The young man stretched out his hand, and there were two jade-like fingers in the darkness, like carvings of gods.

Just like that, it was pressed between Han Dang's eyebrows.

There was a sound of "珰".

Han Dang sat back and walked away.

At this moment, the heart barrier that had been locked up for a year was directly shattered, and a pitch-black strand of hair was pulled out from between the eyebrows. It was the hypnotic seed of [Sky Eyes]. take out.

The moment he fell to the ground.

【Spiritual Realm】Release!
Han Dang rested his hands on the ground, with a dazed expression, watching the scene of returning to reality... Bai Zesheng and Xu Yan were always there, and the teacher did not leave. The young man in the darkness looked down at the hair twisted between his two fingers, It seems to have seen an interesting plaything.

[Tian Tong]'s hypnotic seeds struggled desperately in his palm.

But with the collapse of the five fingers.

The seed is fragmented and annihilated.

Over the past year, Han Dang has been looking for his "bell-breaker".

He knew that the superhumans who had the ability to undo the hypnotic seeds of [Tiantong]... Looking across the five continents, they were all rare top existences.

If you find it, you must spend a lot of effort.

But... today's "unlocking the bell" is extremely easy.

The whole process only took a few seconds.

Even after it was over, the person who untied the bell didn't change his face, only thinking that it was all a farce...

Han Dang vaguely guessed the other party's identity.

He looked at the young man in the darkness, his expression gradually turned pale... If it really is that kind of [existence], it would be too crazy to come to Nagano in person, right?
Han Dang raised his head and looked at the teacher.

He found that the teacher's expression was no better than his own.

"Zhu Wang."

Dionysus's voice was extremely gentle, with an irresistible warmth, "Xu Yan is a good disciple, you won't regret accepting him."
