Volume 12 Chapter 80 : Inspection

Deli Temple, a temple entirely made of stone, from tables to beds, every piece of furniture was crafted from stone.

Those stones had been in existence for thousands of years, yet they were meticulously maintained, without a single crack, shining brightly.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

"The prophecy has come true." In the inner court of the temple, devoid of excessive decoration, a few elder spirits sat around a large stone table, their expressions serious.

"What should we do? The enemies appearing now, the demon clan, are not weak. Moreover, there are traitors among the spirits. I really wonder if it was the right decision to seal the prophecy and not let it spread." Representing the lightning element, Elder Raykon sighed, his plump face jiggling along.

"Regardless of right or wrong, the event has already occurred. The Great Spirit Elder must have foreseen such a future, so he only said half of it, then probably got angered to death." Elder Woodkin shook his head helplessly, feeling pained and regretful for the traitors.

"So, can we really handle the invaders?" Enchanto asked. He was a skinny old man, who had once troubled Lin Xiang.

"Were still unclear about the enemy's strength, which makes it difficult to judge."

"Yes, this time the enemies are not simple. According to the news from the palace, it seems that bugs are in the greatest numbers. Theyve taken down Margado, disregarding the interference of the traitors. They definitely have some strength, and those bugs are surely just cannon fodder." Representing the fire element, the chief of the fire sect stroked his beard, looking at the candles on the stone table, contemplating something.

"Indeed, the specific situation will have to wait until we make contact with the enemy."

"Do you have any ideas or plans?"

"The invasion of the demonic creatures must have a reason. Once we find this reason, perhaps we can resolve the issue more effectively."

After a long discussion, they still could not come up with a conclusion. It was too late for them to go save the other cities, and they did not know the exact location of the demon clan. Finally, the chief of the fire sect said, "Well, then, we old folks will go for a walk outside the city. It's been too long since we've had some exercise. It's not good for our bodies, and we don't even know what it's like outside anymore. Let's just hope that this time, it won't be our final exercise. I hope we can continue to see the outside world in the future."

"Good. You're really something, Philip." Philip had watched the Spirit King grow up from a young age, a brotherly figure. He always seemed to know what the spirit king needed.

Philip smiled and called a guard over, "Go fetch them."

"Yes." The guard left and quickly brought back five handsome young men. They were the shining stars of Spirit Country, adored by female spirits, and they were also young imperial guards with great potential.

Green, gray, black, red, red. Judging from their hair, it was not hard to tell what elemental attributes those five spirits had.

"It's an immense honor to meet you, Your Majesty," the black-haired spirit bowed deeply, taking the lead before the other imperial guards paid their respects.

The other four imperial guards could only follow suit, bowing and paying their respects. "We pay our respects to Your Majesty."

"No need for such formalities. I believe you've all heard from Philip?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. We completely understand. We will bow and dedicate ourselves to you, Your Majesty." Once again, it was the black-haired spirit who spoke first, while the other imperial guards subtly revealed expressions of disdain, but they concealed it well.

"Well, your mission this time is quite dangerous, as exploring the city might lead you into enemy ambushes. So, you must be extremely cautious in all matters."

"Of course, Your Majesty. We will be very cautious. Although we are still weak, we are all striving towards becoming pillars of the country. We will definitely not let Your Majesty down." This time, the green-haired spirit spoke before the black-haired one.

They all wanted to leave a good impression on the Spirit King.

"Well, you are all promising individuals. As you grow, you will surely contribute to Spirit Country. I look forward to that. In the process of exploring the city, if you encounter survivors, organize them and take them to a safe place. Also, I hope you can find the whereabouts of the demonic creatures. We can't just stay put and wait for them to attack, so we need to take the initiative!"

"Ah! Your Majesty truly lives up to his name. We promise to complete the mission." After the black-haired spirit finished speaking, he smiled awkwardly, "Um, Your Majesty, could I make an unusual request?"

"Oh? What is it?"
