798 The War Between Humans and Demons and Monsters. (1/2)

”Fang Zhengzhi, do you really think that anyone would believe you?” Qian Ye's gaze was as chilly and sharp as a razor blade.

Meanwhile, Cang Yue looked like she was confused. She was stunned, but more importantly, she seemed lost.

The disciples around them chose to remain silent. No one said a word or looked at Fang Zhengzhi again as if that was a taboo.

”It isn't true that no one believes me, it's because no one dares to believe me. However…” Fang Zhengzhi took a break, because at this point in time, some of his questions had already been answered.

The only question that he had yet to figure out was the war mentioned by both Lin Mubai and Qian Ye, which took place over a decade ago.

He guessed that everything had started from that war, but the strange thing was, the war wasn't recorded in Great Xia Dynasty's history.

Fang Zhengzhi thought that this was peculiar.

After all, according to Qian Ye, Lin Mubai took part in that war as well. Even Ling Yun Tower seemed to have been involved. In that case, it must have been a devastating war.

If that was the case, why wasn't it recorded?

Although Fang Zhengzhi didn't witness the war, and neither did he know anything about it, he had a feeling that it was definitely extraordinary.

Wait!

A devasting war that took place in Flame Capital City a dozen years ago?!

Flame Capital City… A dozen years ago?

Was this the war that took place at Ten Mile Lake?!

Fang Zhengzhi's eyes lit up. The bloody war that took place at Ten Mile Lake a dozen years ago was the most famous war in Great Xia Dynasty's recent history. According to historical records, that was a war between Great Xia Dynasty and the Demon race, and it almost wiped out Great Xia Dynasty.

However, according to the records, it was the Western Liang's Yan Cloud Cavalry that saved Great Xia Dynasty. Yan Qianli and his brothers led tens of thousands of Yan Cloud Cavalry's soldiers to Flame Capital City and managed to fend off hundreds of thousands of Demon soldiers until they received help from other regions, which ensured the successful survival of Great Xia Dynasty.

Was this a coincidence?

Fang Zhengzhi didn't think so. Such a significant war couldn't possibly be covered up, so the only possibility was that part of the true story was concealed.

”However?” As Qian Ye said that, she placed her other hand behind her back secretly.

”Your majesty, was Yu Er the cause of the war that took place a dozen years ago?” Fang Zhengzhi turned towards Lin Mubai.

”How… How do you know that?” Lin Mubai trembled with disbelief.

”Am I right to say that this was the same war that took place at Ten Mile Lake a dozen years ago?” Fang Zhengzhi replied with another question.

”Yes…” Lin Mubai paused briefly, before he continued with a miserable expression, ”You're right. The war at Ten Mile Lake was much more complicated than what was recorded. However, as the emperor, I couldn't reveal everything to the dynasty.”

”Can you tell me about it?” Fang Zhengzhi asked.

”This was kept a secret in all the four Great Dynasties as well as the Holy Region. However, you are definitely qualified to know about it now!” Lin Mubai nodded and gazed towards the sky, falling deep into his thoughts. After a moment, he continued, ”To be honest, it was my incompetence which led to the war!”

”Father, why are you doubting your capabilities?” Ping Yang could sense that Lin Mubai seemed to have turned older all of a sudden.

”Cough… Ping Yang, let me finish the story first. It was my incompetence that turned Great Xia Dynasty into a battlefield! I was even selfish enough to forget the ancestors' instructions, and I… I took out the Heaven Dao Tablets.”

”Heaven Dao Tablets?” Ping Yang was startled to hear that. Meanwhile, Fang Zhengzhi's eyes lit up.

”Heaven Dao Tablet?”

”The war that took place over a dozen years ago was related to Heaven Dao Tablets?”

”That's right. Heaven Dao Tablets!” Lin Mubai nodded. He looked towards Qian Ye in a daze and continued, ”She really… Really looks like her… When I first met Yu Er, she was also wearing a golden dress, and she looked so elegant and pure. I decided to marry her the moment I saw her!”

Lin Mubai seemed to be recalling those memories, so he took a break before continuing, ”However, I only realized that she didn't just look elegant after I tried my best to know her. She was the living embodiment of elegance, because she was a Sage, a mighty and untouchable Sage. Furthermore, she was Ling Yun Tower's disciple, so I must treat her with respect. I couldn't possibly force her to do anything…”

”However, I was madly in love with her. I didn't give up even though she was a Sage, and a disciple of Ling Yun Tower!”

”The truth eventually proved that I made the right choice. Yu Er accepted my feelings and I got to marry her just as I wished. However, she had one condition. She would only spend two years by my side in Great Xia Dynasty.”

”She would leave after that!”

”However, for the sake of marrying her, I had no choice but to agree to her condition!”

”Those two years were the happiest time of my life. Not only was Yu Er by my side, but Great Xia Dynasty also became extremely prosperous thanks to her assistance.”

”However, two years ended in a flash…”

”Two years!! I am the ruler of the Great Xia Dynasty, but I could only enjoy Yu Er's company for two years? I wasn't willing to let her go, because I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her.”
