Late at night.The moonlight poured like mercury on the secluded streets, like a white veil on the ground.The sound of wheels turning broke the silence.A luxurious carriage slowly approached from a distance.The coachman sat firmly on the seat, and from time to time waved his whip to drive away the horses pulling the cart.Inside the carriage.Lin Ze and Evie sat opposite each other.The lamps hanging in the corner of the carriage emit a bright but not dazzling light, illuminating the spacious carriage as bright as day."
I'm sorry, Your Excellency Lin Ze, Your Highness Ai Lei has official business to do during the day and can't spare herself, so I can only grieve you to go to the meeting at night."
Evie said apologetically."
It's okay."
Lin Ze waved his hand and casually asked another question."
But what I'm curious about is why Her Highness Elle set the meeting place in the suburbs, isn't it more convenient to be in the royal city?"
After leaving the Royal Central Academy and getting into the carriage, Evie told Lin Ze the location of the meeting, a hidden farm on the outskirts of Wangcheng.This made Lin Ze quite puzzled.If the second princess Elle wants to see him, whether it is the academy or the palace, or even choosing a location in the royal city, it is undoubtedly much more convenient than the suburban farm.Why bother to travel so far at night?
Hearing this, Evie hesitated, and finally replied truthfully: "The situation in the royal city is complicated, there are many eyes and ears, and Her Royal Highness Elle doesn't want unrelated people to know about this meeting!"
”Lin Ze was slightly stunned, and his eyes flashed.What is there to hide from a simple meeting?
Especially at the moment when the empire is advancing the cooperative relationship with the Federation, it is above board for the second princess to invite him to meet a student of the Federation.Unless......
This meeting involves some kind of covert dealing!
Lin Ze's heart was slightly clear.Evie also seemed to guess that Lin Ze had already guessed, and after being silent for a few seconds, she suddenly asked, "Does Your Excellency Lin Ze know about the Blood Crystal Sect?"
”Lin Ze recalled, and he had never heard of a similar name in his memory, so he shook his head."
I don't know, it's a certain sect of your Beast Spirit Empire?""
That's right."
Evie nodded, a mixture of disgust and jealousy on her face."
The Blood Crystal Cult is the largest cult in the Empire, dedicated to overthrowing the rule of the Empire, their members are cruel and ruthless, and they have caused chaos and bloodshed throughout the Empire all year round, causing a lot of losses to the Empire, and are deeply hated by the people of the Empire!"
It's a cult again!
Lin Ze smiled dumbly.It seems that any civilized country with a unified power is the same, and similar evil sects will be born in the country.The Federation has the Red Moon Society, and the Empire has the Blood Crystal Cult.The difference is that the Red Moon Society of the Federation is committed to the pursuit of power, and will not hesitate to throw themselves into the darkness in order to gain power.The Blood Crystal Cult, on the other hand, is here to overthrow the Empire.Of course.Evie said that it was to overthrow the rule of the empire, but Lin Ze was more inclined to overthrow the aristocracy - although within the empire, there was not much difference between the two - with the aristocracy's long-term monopoly on the bloodline of spirit beasts, if no one jumped out to resist, it would be a miracle!
The Blood Crystal Sect is estimated to be a sect composed of people who are not willing to be monopolized by the nobles by the bloodline of spirit beasts and want to break this situation!
As for what Evie said about the cruelty and ruthlessness of the members of the Blood Crystal Sect, it was just a family statement.What cult is not labeled as such?
Unless Lin Ze has seen it with his own eyes—such as the Red Moon Society—he always has reservations....Com, of course.These were just Lin Ze's guesses, and perhaps the Blood Crystal Sect was not as he guessed.Many thoughts instantly turned through his mind, but Lin Ze remained silent on the surface, and continued to listen to Evie say: "Just five days ago, we received information that the two priests of the Blood Crystal Sect secretly infiltrated the royal city, accompanied by twelve priests, this is a very terrifying lineup!"
”Under Evie's narration, Lin Ze had a general understanding of the Blood Crystal Sect's hierarchy.The supreme leader of the Blood Crystal Sect is an existence named Pope, and he is a saint-level powerhouse!
The Pope is the priest, and there are a total of five priests in the entire Blood Crystal Sect.Each of them is a top powerhouse at the top of the king level.Further down are the priests, although the level of strength is not as good as that of the priests, but they have also reached the level of kings.When he heard this, Lin Ze couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.This Blood Crystal Sect is much more powerful than the Red Moon Society!
At most, there are only a few legendary beast masters at the top of the Red Moon Society, and they are the kind of strength that can't even rank in the middle among the many legendary beast masters.So it has been suppressed by the Federation all the year round like a rat crossing the street.On the other hand, the Blood Crystal Sect has many king-level powerhouses, not to mention, the supreme leader is still a saint-level powerhouse!
It's no wonder that Evie, a direct member of the noble family, still has a rather jealous tone when mentioning the Blood Crystal Sect.It's just that what makes Lin Ze a little puzzled is that when the bloodline of the spirit beast is monopolized by the nobles and the path to the peak of power is completely cut off, where did the Blood Crystal Sect come from so many top powerhouses?
Lin Ze then asked the question in his heart, but Evie said vaguely.Behind this is most likely the secrets of the empire, and Lin Ze gave up the idea of in-depth research when he saw this, in short.Two top powerhouses whose strength is comparable to that of the great nobles, and twelve powerhouses whose strength has reached the realm of beast spirit envoys, this kind of lineup is enough to make people extremely fearful in any place!
According to the Blood Crystal Sect's practices described by Evie before, once these people have bad intentions in the royal city, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
So, the purpose of Her Highness Elle's meeting with me this time has something to do with this matter?"
Lin Ze asked calmly.Although it was a question, there was eight points of certainty in his tone.If it weren't for that, how could Evie mention the matter of the Blood Crystal Sect to him for no reason.Sure enough.Seeing Evie bow her head slightly, she said in a condensed voice: "That's true......"
The words stopped abruptly halfway, and the faces of the two people in the carriage changed suddenly.Outside the carriage.Over the streets.The gloomy night was dyed with a fierce blood color at some point.The originally bright moonlight had turned into a dull and dull glow of blood, exuding a palpitating aura.Above the blood-colored night sky, the surging energy was rapidly converging, and in the blink of an eye, it swelled dramatically to a terrifying level.And at the moment when Lin Ze and Evie noticed this terrifying energy at the same time, they changed color.This energy suddenly turned into a blood-colored pillar of light, falling from the sky like a railgun, and hitting the carriage with a bang!
Before even the screams could be made, the horses, and the beasts were wiped out in an instant!
The upper half of the carriage shattered into countless tiny particles that were imperceptible to the naked eye in an instant!
Seeing that the blood-colored pillar of light was about to hit Lin Ze and Evie in the carriage, at the last moment, a faint light mask suddenly appeared on Lin Ze's body, and spread out at an astonishing speed, protecting him and Evie inside.The next second.The blood-colored pillar of light hits the light mask blatantly!
Rumble!
The boundless wave of qi centered on the hit point and swept in all directions at great speed.Looking down from the sky, it looks like a circle expands dramatically.Under the terrifying power of the blood-colored pillar of light, the light mask only lasted less than a second before it suddenly dissipated.The blood-colored pillar of light immediately flooded the remaining half of the carriage!
