Barrier of Light

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

According to what Jia Wei said.

Today, the Grand Elder will be waiting for the tester in the second half of the Red Lake.

This so-called "second half" should be something only you can reach——

He stepped onto the red lake and took a look around.

The other six finalists only took more than a hundred steps before they began to walk unsteadily, walking on thin ice.

These people have never truly believed in the light. The power of spiritual belief contained in the red lake water has repelled these "non-believers", so every step they take becomes more and more difficult.

Seeing this, Song Ci strengthened his previous thoughts.

He is different from these people.

He is the [Apostle of Light], and he is the spokesperson personally selected by the God of Light. If even he cannot see the "light", then who can walk through the Red Lake?

He walked slowly and steadily.

With every step he took, Song Ci could feel the welcome extended to him by the water of the red lake.

The bright waves of light guide the way to the end.

Soon, he was standing in the middle of the lake, where Jia Wei had been sitting cross-legged for a long time. In front of him was the heavy fog shrouding the middle of the lake——

ironnically.

He, the [Apostle of Light], stood at the dividing line in the center of the lake and looked forward, but could not see anything.

The fog in his heart was so big that it almost drowned his vision.

The reason is simple. Although he is an [Apostle of Light], his heart is not in the light.

There was never a moment in his life when he truly believed in the God of Light.

…

…

"Song Ci is indeed the fastest one."

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

Song Ci had finished walking halfway, and these people had just started walking, with only about one-tenth of the progress.

And one person has fallen into the water.

"Soon."

Gu Nanfeng looked at this scene, his expression did not change, he just said these two words softly.

"Soon?"

Luo Yu was confused. He didn't understand what the young master meant by "almost".

But he noticed one detail.

After seeing Song Ci enter the middle of the lake, the young master accidentally touched the hilt of the wooden sword.

Countless people were watching this Red Lake trial. The first person to fall into the water was the oldest transcendent from the upper city... He just walked out for more than a hundred steps and suddenly fell into the lake, as if he suddenly fell into the ice. cave.

Jia Wei sat by the lake.

The moment the transcendent man from the city stumbled, he had already stood up.

He disappeared in an instant and reappeared at the place where he fell into the lake. He grabbed the upper-city transcendent by the back collar with one hand.

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

Jia Wei's voice contained no emotion.

This extremely fast speed made everyone in an uproar.

Even Gu Nanfeng narrowed his eyes. Everyone knew that the title of the Holy Judge of Guangming City was [Barrier], so in everyone's stereotype, this great knight wearing heavy armor should be able to walk. It was very slow, and it was indeed the case when Red Lake first appeared.

But now, the speed shown by Jia Wei is almost "teleportation".

"So fast?"

Luo Yu clicked his tongue.

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

"I want to go out."

Gu Nanfeng calmly transmitted the message: "You and Zhong Fan keep an eye on the Gu family mission, and the night watchmen will also keep an eye on them... Remember, this is an order."

…

…

"Gu Nanfeng has taken action."

Su Ye, who was at the back of the crowd, was always staring at the Gu family delegation. He immediately sent an order through his spiritual link: "Everyone, keep an eye on the Gu family delegation, and the night watchmen... as soon as there is any disturbance, Report it to me immediately. If you encounter strong resistance, you can use force when necessary to stop it first."

The order came out and Su Ye also started to take action.

Gu Nanfeng was very fast.

He was walking among the crowd, and sighs came from behind him. Without even thinking about it, he knew that it was the second drowned person selected by Red Lake who had appeared...

But he didn't care.

He came here today not at all to watch the final selection of these people.

He knew that there was a spirit locked on him, and the source of that spirit was Su Ye. Once he left the Gu family mission, he would be watched by Su Ye no matter where he went.

Seeing Gu Nanfeng leaving the temple.

Su Ye followed closely behind. He had no intention of "mental communication" at all. He just followed the young master of the Gu family. He knew that Gu Nanfeng was very fast, but Guangming City was not big. As long as his mental If there is nothing lost, there is no need to be nervous.

Take ten thousand steps back.

What if the spirit is lost?

He knew Gu Nanfeng's end point.

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

Su Ye is very patient.

He was not in a hurry, and was even 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 came to the Gu family mission and was about to chat for a few words, said with some confusion, "And the young master... where are the others?"

After finishing speaking, Zhong Fan suddenly fell silent.

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

"sit down."

Luo Yu put his iron hand on the boy's shoulder, gritted his teeth and said: "Take the Gu family envoys and night watchers and stay in the Red Lake honestly. This is the young master's order."

"Young Master Gu chooses to take action now?"

Zhong Fan couldn't help but look back. 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 looked helpless.

He couldn't tell because the young master even hid it from him.

"Young Master...you have your own arrangements."

Luo Yu could only speak like this.

He looked towards the red lake and met that cold gaze.

Jia Wei was sitting very close to the Gu family delegation, so he saw Gu Nanfeng leave the table.

Today's Red Lake trial is coming to an end. Except for Song Ci, the six finalists are all walking very slowly. Five of them have fallen into the water, and the last one has persisted for a long time unexpectedly.

The last person was almost reaching the center of the lake.

Having seen Song Ci's performance, it is difficult to describe the performance of these finalists with the word "wonderful".

The formerly lively and noisy Red Lake is now much deserted.

As the sky gets darker and the twilight envelopes, the afterglow of dusk gradually drags down the motivation that supports these people to watch. Part of them wants to witness "Song Ci" walking to the end of the Red Lake, and the other part of them wants to see the real thing next to Sunset Mountain. of "sunset".

Many people came to watch this final selection trial.

But so far, it seems that the excitement that everyone expected has not happened.

The last chosen one was finally unable to hold on before the center of the lake, and fell down tremblingly... As long as you are not a believer in the light, then on this red lake, even if you do nothing, you still need to consume mental energy.

The man fell straight down, but did not make the expected thud sound.

Jia Wei teleported several miles away, just like bringing back the previous testers...bringing this last person back to the shore of the Red Lake.

At this moment, Red Lake's "Final Selection Trial" is actually over.

Because of the existence of heavy fog in the middle of the lake.

[Celestial Eye] cannot capture the second half of the scene.

What everyone is waiting for can only be the final result.

After Jia Wei rescued all six finalists, he was ready to leave the lakeside... The first half of the trial that required his supervision was over, and now he could return to the foggy border in the middle of the lake and return to a state of retreat.

But he didn't go back.

He stood by the lake, looked meaningfully at the vacant seats of the Gu family delegation, and then walked in the direction of the crowd.

The onlookers on the banks of the Red Lake looked dazed and subconsciously pushed to both sides to make way for them.

That's the direction away from the temple.

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

He would never leave this place unless it was a vital emergency.

This is also the origin of the edict [Red Lake Garrison].

Now that the final election in Red Lake is coming to an end, is there something that requires the Holy Inquisitor to come in person?

Just when everyone was confused and gave way...another figure that was originally very inconspicuous stood out among the crowd.

Because everyone got out of the way.

But he didn't let it go.

Wearing a cloak and a black shirt, he just stood in the crowd. If these people had not retreated, he would have been just a spectator on the shore of the Red Lake today, just like the thousands of spectators.

But those people retreated.

He was the only one left on the entire lakeside.

"Click... click..."

Jia Wei's pace was very slow and heavy, and he crushed many stones along the way.

He gave the crowd ample time to react, and also gave the alternative who never backed away enough time to retreat, but in the end the situation did not change at all.

The crowd was like a sea wave, splitting into two sides.

The road to get out of the way was covered with dense stones.

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

"boom--"

Grand flames of light burned in the silhouette on the lakeside at dusk. The great knight wearing Mingguang armor pulled out his spear and began to charge faster. His Mingguang armor burst out with bright light. Just one person exploded with a force comparable to that of thousands of armies. The majestic momentum of the horse made the onlookers who retreated one after another stunned by this scene. They never imagined that the Holy Inquisitor would just draw his gun and attack.

The bright flames shot straight for hundreds of meters.

The quiet lakeside was ignited by the brilliant spear-point fire, but the deafening sound of explosions was not triggered.

This shot is quick.

No one in the room could clearly see the trajectory of the light-breaking spear——

Six years ago, this shot was enough to break the defense of the Suzaku Divine Envoy.

Six years have passed.

Jia Wei became more powerful, and this shot became more powerful.

But unfortunately, the shot did not hit the person Jia Wei wanted to stab.

The scorching light dissipated.

The figure wearing a black cloak appeared.

He stepped on the spear with his toes.

The spear was pressed down slightly.

The explosive power contained in the tip of the spear was suppressed by Qiao Jin and could not be released.

By the Red Lake, there was silence.

The ambassadors, loose cultivators from the Five Continents, the temple elders, the Holy Inquisitors, the heavy-armored attendants, and those who had resigned from power in Sunset Mountain all stared at this scene in shock.

Especially the elders of the temple, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

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

That's why it feels like a dream.

"I heard that someone in Guangming City has inherited the [Barrier] title left by Mr. Gu Changzhi back then. When I saw it today, I was very disappointed..."

A soft voice echoed over the temple.

At dusk, there are only a few crows chirping in the Red Lake.

Gu Shen, who was stepping on the spear of light, looked down at Jia Wei, who was wearing bright light armor.

He asked word by word and expressionlessly.

"Do you deserve to be called [Barrier]?"
