Chapter 1580: Chapter 1580: Quiet Forest’s Mastermind
Flower vines wriggled at the feet of the city wall, the majority of their bodies were hidden in the soil .
It seemed that this city’s defenders only numbered so little . However, when all the Flower Demons squeezed out from the soil, it would surely deal a heavy blow to the enemies .
Ning Family Dynasty’s army was approaching closer and closer . The defenders could already feel the killing intent blowing past them, the breaths, roars, savage . . . . . .
Those which flew in the sky, those which ran on the earth, the dust rumbled and noises blasted .
Eventually, the enemy army was only one plain away from Wanxiang City .
This plain could not sustain the stampede of an army . The army would sweep across within ten minutes and nothing would be left on the plain .
Tiny sweat droplets began seeping out of the heads of those defenders . The strength of the enemy far surpassed their imagination . They could not help but started to fear, their faces pale and grim .
Shen Mo and Xia Zhixian stood on the city wall and stared at the approaching enemies .
Suddenly, Xia Zhixian frowned and turned her gaze to the piece of land between Wanxiang City and the army .
“What’s going on? Why is she there?” asked Xia Zhixian .
“Ning Maner?” Shen Mo also saw that figure and changed his expression .
Raging wind blew across the plain . The grass leaves were swept into the air . Ning Maner silently stood between the city and the army . That tiny figure looked like a pure white feather within the black tsunami . . . . . .
“Bring her back,” Shen Mo asked Holy Guard Chief Yi Wu .
Yi Wu shook his head, “Too late . ”
The army approached . Just as everyone thought the army would ignore her and continue marching towards the city, the army suddenly stopped .
At the front most of Ning Family Dynasty’s army, a running Blood Life Beast came to a stop .
After that Blood Life Beast stopped, the entire army followed . It looked as if a moving scene was paused .
An old man with black and white mixed hair stood on that Blood Life Beast’s back . His wrinkles were deep, and that pair of pale purple eyes were focused on the woman standing alone before the army .
The old man maintained a hand raising gesture . The entire army stopped because of that gesture .
“You left your home for a long time and have grown up . You look more like your mother,” Ning Tianyou looked at Ning Maner and smiled .
“Grandfather,” Ning Maner lowered her head, scared of keeping eye contact with Ning Tianyou .
She agreed to let He Cang bring her out in the past, she never returned after leaving . She also knew they would find her eventually . Messiah Tree’s secret would be exposed one day . However, she never expected them to show up here at this moment, with an entire army in tow .
“Come,” Ning Tianyou waved towards her, as if not showing any anger .
Ning Maner took a glance at the densely packed army behind Ning Tianyou .
All of them were especially respectful towards Ning Tian you, there was even nobody standing next to him . This meant Ning Tianyou already reached a high position in Ning Family Dynasty and even became a leader .
Ning Maner remembered that when she was still in Ning Zhuan clan, the clan was still falling . However, this clan rapidly expanded over the past few years and obtained the past glories . The clan master was no longer Ning Zhuang and became her grandfather Ning Tianyou .
Ning Maner walked towards Ning Tianyou and stopped before that Blood Life Beast .
At that moment, Ning Maner’s cousins walked over as if to protect her, but seemed more likely to prevent her from escaping again and surrounded her .
“Grandfather, let this army retreat . I will follow you back . I will use my power to nurture more experts for Ning Family Dynasty,” said Ning Maner .
Ning Tianyou looked down at Ning Maner from Blood Life Beast’s back and slowly spoke, “Escorting you back is the main mission this time, but a treasure vault-like city is right in front . If I order retreat, I will disappoint these soldiers who crossed over such a long distance . ”
Ning Maner was startled for a moment and turned pale . She hurriedly pleaded, “No! They are my families and friends . ”
“I am your only family!” said Ning Tianyou .
“I inherited Messiah Tree’s power . When I become a little stronger, I can provide far more resources than New Moon Land . If grandfather let go of this city, I will do my best . . . . . . High class Immortal rank, peak Immortal rank, even Undying rank . I can achieve those,” Ning Maner’s emotion fluctuated violently .
She had to persuade Ning Tianyou . She was unwilling to see her grandfather becoming the enemy who killed her families and friends . She was unwilling to see Wanxiang City in ruin like that .
Deaths, sacrifices, she had seen enough corpses . . . . . .
“I know that long ago,” said Ning Tianyou .
“Long ago?” Ning Maner was unable to comprehend Ning Tianyou’s meaning .
“Yes, long ago . Have you never wondered who threw you in Quiet Forest to let Messiah Tree pass down its power to you?” said Ning Tianyou peacefully .
Ning Maner was stunned .
She remembered she lived in Wupan City when she was very young . However, those memories were blurry, she could not remember them well . Her real memories started in Quiet Forest .
She . . . . . . She really did not know how she was in Quiet Forest .
“I have a son who was really idealistic, he loved a woman who was disliked by the entire family . The things they had done were never acknowledged by the family . They wandered everywhere, abolished the clan kins without mercy, completely unrestricted by the world . . . . . . ”
“He was my most rebellious son, and also the most irritating son . He never listened to me . However, he did something I had to be proud of . ”
“He and your mother pursued a life of just the two of them . They gave birth to you under Messiah Tree in Quiet Forest . The miraculous thing was, you who was born under Messiah Tree was acknowledged and blessed by Messiah Tree, and even inherited a portion of Messiah Tree’s power . ”
“He and your mother brought you back to me and proudly told me that you are the luckiest daughter in this world . Because you possess a blessing from a god . ”
“Quiet Forest, that was the land of gods forgotten by the six races . I could not believe they actually really entered Quiet Forest and saw Messiah Tree . They told me that Messiah Tree spread its nurturing ability to many life forms . Actually, there were not many powerful creatures around it to protect it . It was a tree of god which completely offered all of its power . ”
Ning Maner stood there, her eyes focused on Ning Tianyou who was slowly narrating the past . For some reason, the current Ning Tianyou gave her a dangerous feeling, as if he was someone else .
She did not know if she never saw her grandfather’s true personality or he completely changed over these years . In any case, he was like a stranger now!
Ning Tianyou looked at Ning Maner’s rather naive expression and grinned, “Do you still not understand?”
Ning Maner shook her head . She could not understand what Ning Tianyou wanted to say .
“Fine,” Ning Tianyou continued his narration, “When my irritating son told me this news and showed you to me, I have thought up a grand plan . ”
“As expected, my son never listened to me again . He has never listened to me before . I have no other choice but to let Wupan Royalty to handle him . ”
“He’s rebellious, stubborn and tenacious . However, as a father, I had to admit he was a strong individual worthy of respect! We sent out all our experts and even Wupan Royalty had to send out a few experts to take him down . In order to subdue him alone, our clan suffered a great loss . Our overall strength fell greatly in Wupan Continent . . . . . . ”
Speaking up to this point, Ning Tianyou stopped and stared at Ning Maner .
Ning Maner was completely shocked, her eyes filled with disbelief!
She had always assumed the other clans were the culprits harming her parents . She never thought it was her grandfather, Ning Tianyou, who truly harmed her parents!
“You are still too naive . A naive person cannot survive in this world . I took you to Messiah Tree again . Messiah Tree treated you like its own granddaughter and carefully nurtured you . It even granted you its Messiah Seed to let you inherit its power . ”
“Unfortunately, Messiah Tree is also too naive . It never imagined you are the fatal chess piece Wupan Royalty and I arranged to be at its side . . . . . . ”
Ning Maner felt a chill . The chill seeped through her skin, invaded her body and touched her soul!
She could not believe that all of that was planned by her grandfather!
In that case . . . . . .
Ning Maner looked at this stranger-like Ning Tianyou .
“Then, Quiet Forest’s slaughter . . . . . . ”
“I’m just a guide . In fact, a special existence like you brought destruction to Quiet Forest!” said Ning Tianyou .
Guide . . . . . .
The nightmare in Quiet Forest would occasionally appear in Ning Maner’s dream .
After personally witnessing that slaughter, she could clearly remember it even after so many years .
However, that heart-tearing slaughter was actually orchestrated by the person before her, and he was her blood-related grandfather!
Her family killed the three which nurtured her from young, as well as countless companions and guardians in Quiet Forest .
Treant, snake, fairy, lion man, wind eagle . . . . . . They desperately protected her life, but the person they protected was actually the cause of the destruction of Quiet Forest .
The culprit was herself . From the moment of her birth, the seed of disaster had been planted for the entire Quiet Forest . . . . . .
This sudden information shocked Ning Maner and caused her mind to break in an instant!
