Chapter 1572 – The Path of Starlight [Night Curtain]
”The power of the Gate of Truth is not something you can resist.” Mother West immediately shook her head, “Lin Qiye, you can’t vouch for him.”
”Then add me.”
A voice came out from behind the crowd as Zhou Ping carried a black box and slowly walked over to Lin Qiye and An Qingyu.
”They are my students, I will be responsible for them.” Zhou Ping spoke seriously.
”And me.” A figure leapt down from the top of a side palace, carrying a gilded red stick, and landed steadily next to Lin Qiye, “Jade Emperor elder, others are afraid of you, but I’m not afraid of …… this Lin Qiye brat, I’m going to make sure of it!”
Sun Wukong raised his head to look up at the Jade Emperor in the air, the corner of his mouth hooked into a smile.
”Don’t forget, there’s also this king.” Gilgamesh’s voice leisurely sounded from behind Lin Qiye.
At the same time, a wisp of smoke haze dispersed from Lin Qiye’s shadow, and a black shadow with a wide hood quietly stood at Lin Qiye’s side ……
After a short silence, the pale figure cloaked in a gray cloak, also slowly walked to Lin Qiye’s side, and
”If there is an accident, I can undo it.” Wang Mian and Lin Qiye exchanged glances, “I can understand your mood …… If I were in your position, I would also make this choice.”
A ray of lightning crossed over, and in an instant, the dead silhouettes with black cloaks also came to Lin Qiye’s side.
Wang Mian, Wu Old Dog, and Lin Qiye, all captains of special squads, they were also the people on this field who could truly appreciate Lin Qiye’s mood.
Zhou Ping, Sun Wukong, Gilgamesh, No. 27, Wang Mian, [Psychic] …… At this moment, the backs of those three crimson cloaked figures were no longer empty.
This is Lin Qiye, it is the [Night Curtain] squad, the bottom line that has been accumulated over the past few years.
Seeing this scene, Zuo Qing sighed helplessly …… It is no exaggeration to say that if these people really go out, even if the Heavenly Court comes hard, they may not be able to stop them.
An Qingyu and Jiang Er looked at the scene in front of them in a daze, and a warm feeling rose in their hearts, just at this moment, Lin Qiye, who was standing at the very front, suddenly opened his mouth:
”Lieutenant An.”
An Qingyu froze, “In.”
”Go home.”
Lin Qiye took a step and walked straight towards the Southern Heavenly Gate, Cao Yuan followed closely behind, and after a moment of hesitation, An Qingyu still clenched her teeth and followed their pace.
As they gradually approached, the Great Summer Gods and other human ceilings that stopped outside the Southern Heavenly Gate were at a loss for what to do for a moment, glaring at each other, and the Jade Emperor gazed at the scene in silence, not knowing what he was thinking.
Lin Qiye walked towards Zuo Qing at the very front while reaching his hand into his pocket and took out a black box.
As his fingertips picked open the lid, a shimmering medallion was exposed to the air.
Three individual “Star Sea” medals, three collective “Star Sea” medals, four individual “Star” medals, seven collective “Star” medals, and several “Star” medals. Four individual “Star” medals, seven collective “Star” medals, and several “Starburst” medals were held in Lin Qiye’s hands as if they were sparkling diamonds full of supreme honor.
From the very beginning of the wind and snow of Han Shaoyun, to the Cangnan Catastrophe, to the Battle of Fengdu, to supporting Gusu, the Altar of the God of the Underworld, searching for Anta County from afar, the “Human Circle” breaking, guarding the new recruits, killing Suzaku’s man, the crisis in Shangjing, guarding the Zhenguo Divine Monument to the death, searching for the “Ark of the Covenant,” destroying Asgard, and the Battle of Chennangguan… …
Countless pasts and honors, as Lin Qiye flipped his wrist, tinkled and fell on the stone path in the rain, like a brilliant path paved with stars.
At the very front of this path of merit, the figure with the crimson cloak slowly spoke:
”Great Xia’s fifth special squad [Night Curtain] …… please make way!”
This is the road paved by starlight and glory that [Night Curtain] has exchanged from blood and fire with several years of time and countless escapes from death, and it is also the …… road home that Lin Qiye has opened up for Jiang’er.
The low voice echoed in front of the silent Southern Heavenly Gate, the crowd looked at the eyes as firm as iron, have been moved by it.
As the last “Star Ocean” medal fell, standing at the forefront of the Zuo Qing, helplessly sighed, sideways back two steps.
He is the commander in chief of the Night’s Watch, what this road means to the [Night Shade], he is more than clear …… Lin Qiye has already made it this far, if he stops here, I’m afraid that his conscience will no longer be at peace.
Zuo Qing’s retreat was also a signal to the other ceilings and the Great Summer Gods, and as Lin Qiye and the others approached, they made way for a path that went
until outside the Southern Heavenly Gate.
During this process, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West didn’t open their mouths either, just in silence, letting them leave.
At that moment, An Qingyu, who was walking at the very back, suddenly stopped his steps outside the Southern Heavenly Gate.
He turned back, looked at the gods of Heaven, and spoke calmly:
”I know what you guys are worried about, from the moment I took the initiative to touch the Gate of Truth, I knew that the original seal would be ineffective against me …… I think that the Heavenly Court should have a method that can destroy my divine soul, right?
After I have sent her off on her last journey, I will go back to the Heavenly Court to die.
I, An Qingyu, am not a traitor.”
After saying the last sentence, An Qingyu stepped onto Lin Qiye’s somersault cloud and disappeared into the sky with a whistling sound.
Outside the Southern Heavenly Gate, many figures fell into silence.
I don’t know how long it took before Zuo Qing bitterly shook his head, sighing helplessly while bending down to pick up the medallion that had fallen on the ground, wiping the water stains with his own cloak and placing it back into his pocket.
Vaguely, his muttering voice could be heard, coming out from the rain:
”This group of little guys …… walking is quite handsome, still not have to ask me to help you wipe your ass, really ……”
On the somersault cloud.
”You really think about it?” Lin Qiye piloted the somersault cloud while frowning at An Qingyu.
”Uh-huh.” After coming out of the Heavenly Court, An Qingyu’s entire body was much more relaxed as he nodded, “I’m the Gate of Truth and the key to awakening the [Key to the Gate], only if I die will Daxia really be safe.
Moreover, don’t you see what I look like now?”
An Qingyu touched his gray eyeballs, “I …… can no longer be considered a human, that seal naturally can’t completely seal me, instead of that, it’s better to make everything simpler.”
”Perhaps, there is another way?” Lin Qiye asked again.
”I don’t know …… but I’m running out of time.” An Qingyu looked at Lin Qiye’s eyes, “Seven Nights, you will respect my choice, right?”
Lin Qiye opened his mouth and paused for a long time before speaking with a complicated expression:
”I know, I won’t stop you.”
Although An Qingyu didn’t say it, Lin Qiye knew very well in his heart that this reason might indeed be an important factor in making him make this decision, but it wasn’t all …… There was also a part of the reason that was Jiang Er.
If it wasn’t for Jiang Er, An Qingyu might not have chosen to seal …… He did this in order to fulfill the agreement with her about a long, long time from now.
But now, everything was lost.
”By the way, what exactly did you see behind the Gate of Truth?”
