337 Blast of Ligh (1/2)
”Teacher, can you activate the Holy Tower?” Jiang Yan asked Wang Mingyuan.
Wang Mingyuan nodded slightly but didn't say a word. Instantly, the vehicle fell silent.
The Holy Tower was not actually a tower in the ordinary sense of the word. It was a divine statue that was over a hundred meters tall. It was snow-white like jade, as if a person had spread open his arms towards the heavens and was praying for something.
Legend had it that before Jing Daoxian stormed into the League building and started his massacre, the statue emitted infinite holy light that enveloped the entire Holy City. No matter how many powerful dimensional creatures there were, they were unable to tear through the holy light.
However, even though the statue remained white and clean, it didn't have any of its godly radiance. It was just a majestic statue.
In front of the statue, there were many military officers and inspectors. Among them were six eye-catching figures—four men and two women. If anyone knew them, they would be shocked to see all six appear at the same time.
These four men and two women were the heads of the six families right now. They were Senators from the Senate. When the six of them stood together, they had even more authority than the League President.
After all, the League President's bills had to be approved by the Senate.
”Sir, Wang Mingyuan is here.” Even the powerful Shen Yuchi had to be respectful in front of the six of them. He did not dare commit a faux pas.
One of the six—a noble, goddess-like lady—asked calmly, ”Is everything ready?”
”Everything is ready. Wang Mingyuan has already agreed to activate the Holy Tower,” Shen Yuchi said.
”Very good. We have been waiting for this day for too long. If Wang Mingyuan can really reactivate the Holy Tower, he would be the greatest contributor to the League. It's just a pity…” Another elegant middle-aged man said calmly, but he didn't finish his sentence.
”Based on the information obtained from him, it's indeed feasible. However, there are one or two key points that our researcher can't figure out. We need Wang Mingyuan to do it personally,” a secretary-looking person said.
”Then let him go,” the woman said calmly.
”Yes.” Shen Yuchi responded and got someone to bring Wang Mingyuan over.
When Wang Mingyuan walked past the six of them, the elegant man looked down at him superciliously and said, ”Wang Mingyuan, after the Holy Tower is reactivated, we will pardon all your crimes and give you the chance to redo things. You must seize this opportunity and not waste our kindness.”
”I will grab hold of the opportunity.” Wang Mingyuan wore shackles—a manifestation of a special Companion Beast. Even a Mythical creature would find it difficult to escape if it was bound by the shackles.
With the inspectors escorting them, Zhou Wen and company followed Wang Mingyuan to the statue.
”Are the four youths Wang Mingyuan's students?” the elegant middle-aged man asked as he looked at Zhou Wen and company.
”Yes, one of them is related to the An family,” Shen Yuchi said.
”In extraordinary times, even the Ans are no exception. To be able to sacrifice for the League is considered priceless. I believe the Ans can understand,” the elegant middle-aged man said ethereally as though he had determined Zhou Wen and company's fate.
Wang Mingyuan stopped in front of the Holy Tower. In front of him stood a stone cauldron which was in front of the statue. Everyone's attention was drawn to him. Even the six people standing at the top of the League couldn't help but stare at Wang Mingyuan, anticipating his actions.
Wang Mingyuan turned to look at the League official beside him and said, ”The sacrificial ceremony can begin. Let's go according to procedure. If anything goes wrong, it won't be my fault.”
