This is not random speculation. Xu Jianwen being able to obtain the Secret Skill to suppress the Tributor, acquiring the power of the Liao Clan Leader, is not surprising either.
Yu Xiu was taken aback and murmured:
"No wonder the Clan Leaders have always been so mysterious, never appearing outside, even during grand ceremonies, they’re always wearing thick ceremonial robes to cover their bodies. Moreover, their stature isn’t as large as the Liao people...
I thought it was because the Clan Leader was aged... but, can the Liao people accept foreign rule?"
Tuoba Weizhi said indifferently:
"For nearly a thousand years, the Clan Leader of the Liao people has always been an outsider. They’ve grown accustod to it. Besides, they only recognize the Divine, whoever is acknowledged by the Divine is the Clan Leader."
Well, this is the result of a thousand-year brainwashing...
Hmm, it can be understood as a unique cultural custom...
Zhao Douan took a deep breath and fixed his burning gaze on the Priestess:
"What is the na of the current Clan Leader? And do you know a person nad Xu Jianwen?"
Tuoba Weizhi said:
"The current Clan Leader’s na is Song Zhi. He arrived more than a decade ago. As for Xu Jianwen, I’ve heard of this na, seemingly a Prince of Yu Country who once instigated a rebellion? But other details are unclear."
Song Zhi... Song Zhi...
Zhao Douan felt the na was familiar, he recalled carefully, then suddenly widened his eyes!
Back then at Hu Ting, Mo Chou had told him about Xu Jianwen’s story, ntioning that Xu Jianwen had a very good relationship with the Crown Prince’s Horse Washer, Song Zhi.
Later, Song Zhi resigned and wandered the world, never seen again...
"Could it be... that Song Zhi ca to the Liao Clan at that ti? Beca Xu Jianwen’s special troop?"
"Indeed, this also explains why Xu Jianwen and the Master Gu Huo’s treasure vault contained many treasures from the Qi Country era... most likely, they flowed out from the Liao Clan..."
Zhao Douan felt enlightened!
Many doubts were resolved.
Yet, simultaneously, new mysteries erged: How could Song Zhi, a re Crown Prince’s Horse Washer, be appointed by the late Emperor to such an important position?
Or perhaps, his position as Clan Leader wasn’t obtained in a ’proper’ way?
Zhao Douan couldn’t help but marvel at the secrets hidden behind the Xuann Coup from three years ago.
However, these mysteries clearly couldn’t be answered by Tuoba Weizhi.
And they weren’t urgent matters for now.
After sorting his thoughts, Zhao Douan turned again to the Priestess, posing a crucial question:
"Did you ever reveal to anyone about being the key and waiting for ?"
Tuoba Weizhi, clever as snow, understood his aning and respectfully replied:
"This servant has never disclosed it. The Clan Leaders of various generations only knew I was the La Garden Priestess, in charge of the Divine altar for the Divine."
Zhao Douan quietly sighed with relief, nodded and said:
"Very well. My ti is limited, other doubts can be asked later. I’ll just ask you one last thing, have you seen the image recorded inside the temple?"
Tuoba Weizhi nodded, "I’ve seen it."
Zhao Douan: "Then regarding your identity..."
Tuoba Weizhi raised her head, her gaze calm as she t his eyes, earnestly said:
"Regardless of who this servant originally was, after hundreds of years, everything has vanished. This servant only knows that when I opened my eyes, I saw the first master, and now the second one."
Tsk... Old Xu, you’re really a master at training people... Zhao Douan marveled.
At this mont, Yu Xiu suddenly spoke urgently:
"Not good, the Great La Ba seems to be returning! We must leave!"
Zhao Douan hastily looked up!
In the distant sky, rolling red clouds were rapidly rushing towards here!
A terrifying aura gradually approached, just looking at it made one’s heart beat wildly.
"Tuoba, can you make this thing sleep?" Zhao Douan quickly turned to the Priestess.
The latter replied in sha:
"This servant is useless. If the Clan Leader isn’t present, there’s still a chance. But with the Clan Leader here, this servant’s influence on the Divine isn’t significant."
Indeed... Old Xu could never have trusted you with controlling the Laba God back in the day... Rather, one aspect was training you as the guardian of the La Garden, and the other was appointing successive Clan Leaders... damn, you’ve quite understood the separation of church and state, Old Xu...
Zhao Douan internally ridiculed, then said solemnly:
"Jin Jian! Open the door!"
"Oh!"
The girl priest holding the Magic Wand was startled, then vigorously drew a circle in the air with the wand.
An illusion moon erged... the teleportation gate opened...
"Let’s go! Leave here first!"
Zhao Douan resolutely said, then as he was about to enter the gate, he thought about it, raised his hand to seize two Jade Balls into his hand, and with the other hand, he grasped Tuoba Weizhi.
Jin Jian looked eagerly at the temple and said:
"The treasure of the forr dynasty..."
Yu Xiu’s head hurt, even in a life-and-death crisis, you still think about this?
Tuoba Weizhi glanced at her and said:
"Many treasures were moved away hundreds of years ago, and the rest have been gradually depleted."
Jin Jian felt struck by lightning, her little face turned pale, dejectedly stepped into the illusion moon.
Pei Niannu also disappeared inch by inch, returning to Zhao Douan’s body.
In the blink of an eye, everyone vanished, and the moon shrank into a small point.
At that instant when they disappeared, thousands of divine servants in La Garden seed to lose their target, lifting their heads in confusion.
Upon seeing the red clouds surging across the sky, in a flash, it engulfed the entire sky.
...
"Boom!"
So ti earlier, just as Song Zhi struck another punch, using the great Divine power to repel the Old Heavenly Master, a strong sense of unease suddenly rose in his heart.
He abruptly turned his head, looking towards the direction of La Garden, his heart wrenched... as if about to lose sothing precious.
Song Zhi was stunned.
Imdiately realized, these emotions ca from the Great La Ba.
