Barrier of Light

Everyone in the Snow Forbidden City knows it.

Zhu Wang's greatest wish in his life is to become a "Grand Adjudicator", and everything he has done in the past twenty years has had this as his ultimate goal.

only.

For so many years, there has always been a person on the top of the mountain, holding him down steadily.

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

He finally became the Grand Judge of the Tribunal.

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

But after taking office, he united the Nagano ruling house with an iron-blooded approach and consolidated it into a monolith. In fact, Zhu Wang was able to sit in the political center of Nagano for twenty years because he was good at "communication." The alliance of forces ensures that he has a place in the parliament and can form a balance with "Mr. Tree".

No one likes an "unrestrained" title-winning strongman.

Under the three-house system, the big shots prefer to sit down and discuss the rules together.

So Mr. Shu is destined to travel around Dongzhou.

After Zhu Wang took office, he immediately mobilized his greatest strength to promote the proposal for the establishment of a grand adjudicator. This proposal was actually for his own consideration... If Zhou Jiren "returns triumphantly" from the Piyue City Fortress one day , then no matter whether the so-called [Old World Waterway] is truly discovered or not, its contribution and meritorious service to the human world are incomparable to itself.

In that case.

It is impossible for him to hold on to his position as 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 became the Grand Adjudicator today was not because the previous Grand Adjudicator resigned or died. It was only because of force majeure and emergencies that a "temporary" was chosen to take over and he was given the authority to rule. highest authority.

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

The adjudication office requires two grand adjudicators.

What if...Zhou Jiren doesn't come back?

So in addition to Zhu Wang, is it necessary to find another "temporary grand adjudicator"?

Of course, Zhu Wang's proposal took various situations into consideration for the parliament, and he strongly recommended his beloved disciple Han Dang.

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

But he is indeed the person closest to this position.

Before Bai Chen was banned, he had served as the "acting chief judge" of the prison. This was an encouragement and a signal... This case was a precedent, but Zhu Wang's proposal was 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 Piyue City continues to expand, and it is almost reaching the city wall. The rusty Fourth Army retreats again and again... It seems that Beizhou's patience is about to run out. If Her Majesty the Queen takes action to defeat the wonderful realm, and in At that time, there was no news from Zhou Jiren. Perhaps the Parliament would consider reshuffling the internal affairs of the adjudication office.

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

And Zhu Wang is the perfect choice.

As supportive feedback...the success rate of passing this proposal will be greatly improved.

It's just that no one knows.

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

That was his "favorite disciple" Han Dang, whose cultivation state has been getting worse and worse over the past year.

If you want to become a "banned account", I'm afraid it will take a long, long time.

…

…

"Crack!"

The bathroom mirror was smashed with a heavy punch.

Han Dang looked at himself torn apart in the mirror, covering his forehead with one hand. That soft and handsome face gradually became distorted and ferocious... [Tian Tong]'s spiritual seeds broke out again and again.

The more he wanted to fight.

Deeper and deeper into the quagmire.

In fact... the hypnosis of this spiritual seed is not that powerful.

When Luo Er applied hypnosis, he just hoped that Han Dang would regret his actions.

The most painful thing in the world is not being weak.

But "not strong enough".

If Han Dang is too weak and too far away from [Celestial Eye], then he will not be aware of the existence of this spiritual seed at all. He will obey the hypnotic sound of the seed and feel guilty and repent from the bottom of his heart. From then on The hypnotic seed dissipated on its own.

Just pretend... nothing happened.

Everything disappeared.

It just so happens that he has strength, but he is not strong enough.

Then I realized the hypnosis that guided "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 searched for Dongzhou's spiritual title, but the answers he received were all the same.

There is no way they can remove this seed.

The trouble should end it.

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

Or...the caster's strength is far higher than [Celestial Eye].

But where can I find such a person?

The broken mirror in the bathroom was restored piece by piece, glued together, and pieced back together into a complete mirror... The stinging pain in his mind subsided, and Han Dang stared at the face breathing heavily in the mirror, feeling surprisingly surprised. of peace.

Sometimes, he felt that fate was playing tricks on people.

The pain I experienced seemed to have been arranged by God long ago.

If [Tian Tong] hadn't disappeared in the Piyue City Fortress...then the constant mental torture over the past year would have probably made him lower his proud head and search for the only "bell-releaser" to relieve the hypnosis.

But... [Tian Tong] disappeared.

No one in this world knows where she is.

Can't find it even if I try to look for it.

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

Han Dang simply finished washing.

He rubbed his cheeks and regained his composure. He wiped his fingers across the mirror and wiped away all the fog. Now he looked at the mirror again and couldn't see the face on the opposite side. He had experienced something just a few minutes ago. A hellish mental torture.

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

The doorbell rang outside the door.

"...?"

Han Dang frowned slightly.

He knew that his reputation was very high in the court.

But the real reputation spread is not good.

Many people secretly call themselves "Smiling Tigers". They look down on themselves as people and disdain their company.

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

So on weekdays, almost no one comes to visit the residence.

Who could it be?

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

…

…

There were two figures, an old man and a young man, standing outside the door.

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 figure of the Bai Family Presbyterian Church is known to everyone in the Snow Forbidden City... But the Bai Family has a close relationship with the prison, so how could he find his way to his door?

Han Dang looked at another young figure.

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

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

The more "gentle" the smile is, the more people need to be on guard.

He stood in front of the door and didn't open it all the way, just half way.

Obviously, it was made clear that these two people were not welcome to enter.

Han Dang knew that he was a disciple of the Grand Adjudicator of the Adjudication Institute, and it was now a critical stage for the teacher to submit the proposal. He did not want to have any private dealings with the second elder of the Bai family...

The other party came to visit.

When he opened the door, he was showing courtesy.

Bai Zesheng seemed completely unaware of the warning movement of the half-open 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 line.

Han Dang nodded expressionlessly.

Even the "Smiling Tiger" can't always smile.

Like... right now.

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

"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 remove 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 extremely prestigious Bai Zesheng, he would simply ignore them.

"But... there is a condition."

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

…

…

Half an hour later.

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

He looked complicated.

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

Bai Zesheng sat in the room with his eyes closed to rest. The second elder's mood did not seem to be as calm as he appeared on the surface... He was clearly resting with his eyes closed, but he still tapped his knees gently with his fingers. This should be a sign of anxiety. reflect.

The young man next to the second elder had a truly "calm expression."

He held tea in both hands, smiled and said, "Senior Brother Han, what did the teacher say?"

"The teacher will be here soon..."

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

He has not entered the tribunal yet.

The title of teacher has already been used.

For some reason, he couldn't appreciate this young man much in his heart, even though he already knew... This was a genius with great potential and strong cultivation ability.

But, how could such a good thing happen in this world?

Treat yourself, and send another genius to join the teacher?

Han Dang knows very well... Pies in the sky will not fall for no reason, especially not from Bai Zesheng's hands. If this young man is really talented, why not send him to a prison where Bai is familiar?

After a while.

Zhu Wang rushed here.

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

"Zesheng."

Zhu Wang's name for the second elder was very gentle.

It was as if the two were best friends.

Bai Zesheng smiled slightly, stood up to greet him, and recounted the general story of the matter again...

After listening.

Zhu Wang pretended to show hesitation and said slowly: "Xu Yan... wants to become my disciple. It's not a problem, it's just..."

He thought it was a simple transaction.

The Bai family needs the reputation of "Grand Adjudicator", and this disciple may be a bit dull... In exchange, he can cure his favorite disciple's old illness. Now it seems that this is not the case.

Zhu Wang was pleasantly surprised when he first saw "Xu Yan".

This is an extraordinary person whose spiritual power has at least reached the "third stage"... At this age, it is simply a miracle for extraordinary people to reach the third stage of spiritual practice. It should be noted that the champion of the last rookie battle was only on the seventh level of the deep water zone. It’s just a realm.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.

He wanted to find out what kind of medicine Bai Zesheng was selling in the gourd.

"Where is Master Xu born?" Zhu Wang asked politely.

Xu Yan did not answer in person, but turned his head slightly and looked at Bai Zesheng.

"He came from a very remote place, in the tundra...without a father or a mother, and was alone." Bai Zesheng lowered his eyebrows and said, "After awakening, he cultivated to this point alone..."

After listening to this rhetoric.

Zhu Wang and Han Dang were silent.

Of course they don't take it seriously.

No power, practicing alone, reaching the third stage of extraordinary realm at the age of twenty?

Only a ghost can believe it!

Such a thing... Baixiu can't do it either!

"The real origin, but it doesn't matter," Zhu Wang chuckled softly, "Mr. Xu has some criminal records, is it inconvenient to explain? I can use the [authority] of the Grand Adjudicator to make changes, as long as this matter is not disclosed by [Deep Sea 】It is recorded that the circumstances are not particularly serious and can be operated."

Bai Zesheng shook his head.

"No criminal record, very innocent."

He said calmly: "You can check Xu Yan's files on the [Deep Sea] Network... He was born in the tundra and practiced alone. His life trajectory is recorded. Every year, every month, every day, there are Detailed records.”

The smile on Zhu Wang's face slowly disappeared.

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

"I do not understand."

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

"I didn't send it."

Bai Zesheng took a sip of tea and tried to control the trembling of his fingers.

He said softly: "Are you going to see... the big man who promised to treat the disease?"

…

…

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

Zhu Wang pushed open the door of the small courtyard.

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

Han Dang, who followed closely behind, noticed that... at the moment he entered the door, all the objects on his body that were connected to the [Deep Sea] lost their senses, and the signals were completely blocked.

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

A group of people arrived at the cabin.

I saw the boy in the darkness.

Zhu Wang's expression was hard to calm down. His breathing became rapid. He turned his head and looked at Bai Zesheng as if he were a madman. At this time... Bai Zesheng's hand shaking movements when drinking tea and a series of abnormal subtle reactions , were all explained.

The latter looked at me calmly and there was nothing I could do about it.

Han Dang narrowed his eyes.

Of course he noticed something strange about his 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 "Bacchus", he didn't dare to think about it.

The aroma of wine floated in every corner of the wooden house, as if it had a reassuring magic power. Mr. Jin, who was serving the Dionysian throne, silently stepped back, like a shadow, blending into the darkness and disappearing without a trace. trace.

And Han Dang looked back.

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

He was startled.

This is...what happened?

Soon, he realized something was wrong, and it was okay for Bai Zesheng and Xu Yan to disappear.

The teacher is a titled expert on the 12th level of the deep sea!

Han Dang immediately unfolded his [Mantra], and in the boundless darkness, after the [Mantra] unfolded, it seemed as if it encountered a huge wave of sea and was swallowed directly... The most desperate thing is that everything here is Everything that happened was silent.

Not even a single wave splashed.

Han Dang's pupils contracted.

He looked at the young man. The short distance of more than ten meters seemed to have turned into a chasm, and the not tall figure turned out to be like a mountain, rising and rising...

He wanted to crawl.

Want to bend your knees.

Want to kneel down.

I want to worship.

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

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

A "台" sound.

Han Dang fell back and sat down.

At this moment, the mental barrier that had been trapped for a year was shattered, and a jet-black hair was taken out from between the eyebrows. It was the hypnotic seed of [Tian Tong]. Without any obstacles, it was directly attracted by the young man in front of him. take out.

The moment he fell to the ground.

[Spiritual Realm] Released!

Han Dang put his hands on the ground with a confused expression, looking at the scene that returned to reality... Bai Zesheng and Xu Yan were always there, and the teacher did not leave. The young man in the darkness lowered his head and looked at the hair twisted between his two fingers. It was like seeing an interesting toy.

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

But with the destruction of Five Fingers.

The seeds are shattered into pieces and annihilated.

This year, Han Dang has been looking for his "bell-lifter."

He knew that extraordinary beings who had the ability to release the hypnotic seeds of [Celestial Eyes]... Looking across the five continents, they were all top-notch beings who were rare.

If you find it, it will take a lot of effort.

But... "untying the bell" today is extremely easy.

The whole process only took a few seconds.

Even after it was over, the person who answered the bell didn't change his expression and just thought it was all a farce...

Han Dang vaguely guessed the other party's identity.

He looked at the young man in the darkness, and his expression gradually turned pale... If it was really that kind of [existence], coming to Nagano in person, wouldn't it be too crazy?

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."

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