With one hand behind his back and the other out, Wei Guangming unleashed a beam of colorful light from his palm, directly knocking Dugu Qiubai off the jade platform.
The solitary sword intent that permeated the entire Dengtian Pavilion vanished without a trace, like a phantom.
After Dugu Qiubai was defeated, no one in the hall dared to step forward and challenge him again.
Ye Ruoyi's eyes flickered, and she said softly, "Half an hour has passed. Since no one is going to challenge it, this silver Heavenly Secret Token belongs to Wei Guangming."
She handed the Heavenly Secret Token to Wei Guangming and then said, "Please go down and wait until the owner of the Golden Heavenly Secret Token is identified, then we can come up together to ask questions."
Unexpectedly, after receiving the Heavenly Secret Token, Wei Guangming surprisingly asked:
"May I ask the Celestial Immortal, may I ask my question in public?"
Wei Guangming's words shocked the entire audience once again.
He actually wants to ask a question in front of everyone?
In the past, many experts spent a lot of money to ask the Celestial Master questions in public, which was a last resort.
Chapter 156 Discussion
Because they were asking about either earth-shattering secrets or their own private matters, things they didn't want others to know.
If they could, they would definitely prefer to ask questions privately.
But Wei Guangming, despite having obtained the Silver Heavenly Secret Token, insisted on asking questions in public.
However, this was good news for the martial arts practitioners in the Ascension Pavilion, meaning they could hear a secret story for free.
Many people who had originally planned to leave returned to their seats, their faces full of curiosity.
Wei Guangming, the former High Priest of Light who disappeared fifteen years ago, suddenly reappears to seek divination from the Celestial Mystery Immortal. This matter is definitely not simple.
Ye Ruoyi was the first person to encounter this situation. She looked at Su Chen in surprise, not knowing what to do.
Su Chen waved his hand and said with a smile:
"As long as you have the Silver Heavenly Secret Token, you can ask me for a divination, and there are no restrictions on the location."
"Since you want to ask a question in public, you can say it now."
Upon hearing this, Wei Guangming's eyes lit up, but he quickly regained his serious expression and said in a deep voice:
"Fifteen years ago, when I was using my celestial divination techniques, I accidentally discovered a clue about the 'Eternal Night Cataclysm'."
"At the time, I didn't know that Haotian was going to launch the Eternal Night Calamity; I only thought that Hades was behind it."
"According to the divination, an extremely terrifying dark force descended from the sky and entered Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty."
“This strange phenomenon perfectly matches the description in one of the heavenly books of our Haotian Dao Sect: ‘The eternal night is coming, and the son of the King of the Underworld will appear in the human world.’”
"So I immediately used the Heavenly Mystery Technique again to narrow down the scope to the Chang'an district shrouded in darkness, in an attempt to find out the source of this dark power."
"As expected, this time the simulation revealed an anomaly."
"In that dark neighborhood, there was a mansion, the home of Lin Guangyuan, the General of Xuanwei of the Tang Dynasty."
"In this mansion, there is a child who is different from others. He has the talent of being 'born with knowledge' and his aura is strange. He is not from this world at all."
"I dare to guess that this child is the source of the dark power that fell from the sky, and is the son of Hades who was prophesied in the heavenly book to bring eternal night."
"In order to stop the eternal night catastrophe and to uphold justice and light in the world, I used some means to wipe out Lin Guangyuan's family."
"In the end, it was calculated that all of Lin Guangyuan's family of more than 100 people died, and only the child from another world who was 'born with knowledge' survived."
"After that, I was punished for this incident and imprisoned in the secluded chamber."
"For the past fifteen years, I have often thought about this matter and always felt that it was fate that prevented me from successfully eliminating the son of Hades."
"After all, this is a once-in-ten-thousand-years eternal night catastrophe, how could I possibly resolve it so easily?"
"Although more than a hundred members of Lin Guangyuan's family died unjustly, I believe I did the right thing and have no regrets."
"But just recently, the Celestial Immortal clearly stated that the Eternal Night Calamity was initiated by Haotian."
"This puzzles me."
"If the Eternal Night Cataclysm was truly initiated by Haotian, then what was that dark power I sensed fifteen years ago?"
"I am willing to use my life's accumulated experience in the 'Heavenly Revelation Cultivation Method' as the divination fee to ask the Celestial Mystery Immortal to answer my questions."
Wei Guangming's expression was very sincere.
This relates to his lifelong beliefs.
His question caused a great uproar in the hall.
Everyone finally understood why Wei Guangming had disappeared for fifteen years, and also why he had suddenly reappeared today.
No one expected that Wei Guangming was connected to the case of the Lin Guangyuan family being murdered fifteen years ago.
Regarding this major case of the execution of the entire family, martial arts practitioners from other countries were completely baffled, but the martial arts masters of the Tang Dynasty knew the truth perfectly well.
After all, Lin Guangyuan was a powerful general of the Tang Dynasty, holding military power and having made outstanding military achievements.
The sudden murder of such a renowned general and his entire family naturally sparked much discussion among the people.
Especially given the lack of a reasonable explanation from the imperial court, speculation about this family massacre has continued unabated.
Many people believe that the extermination of Lin Guangyuan's family had little to do with the crimes listed by the imperial court, but was more likely due to him offending some important figures in the court.
But no one expected that the real murderer who caused the tragic deaths of Lin Guangyuan's family was actually Wei Guangming, the High Priest of Light of the Xiling Temple, who was thousands of miles away.
After hearing what Wei Guangming said next, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.
Fifteen years ago, dark forces descended, and in the Lin Guangyuan mansion shrouded in darkness, there was a child from another world who was born with a lot of knowledge.
All of this is too bizarre, and it is clearly related to the secrets of the Eternal Night Cataclysm.
Thinking about this, everyone had the same question as Wei Guangming.
Since Haotian is the mastermind behind the Eternal Night Cataclysm, is this dark force related to Haotian? And what is the connection between that child who is born knowing so much and Haotian?
Everyone's eyes turned to Bai Yutai, waiting for Su Chen's answer.
Su Chen was not surprised by the question raised by Wei Guangming, and immediately brought up the system to take a look.
Shortly after, the system responded:
"We successfully told Wei Guangming's fortune."
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained the talent template [Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul]".
Su Chen was stunned for a moment, not expecting to receive such a reward.
Although he understood that with Wei Guangming's luck, the reward he received must have been extraordinary, this reward still surprised him somewhat.
It's important to know that the [Six-Winged Angel] martial soul is considered top-tier in the entire Douluo Continent.
Its innate full soul power is not level 10, but level 20, which shows its strength.
But this world has no spirit beasts, nor spirit rings.
Unless he can acquire more spirit rings, the [Six-Winged Angel] spirit will be somewhat useless.
Nevertheless, Su Chen was still very satisfied with the reward.
After all, the martial spirit phenomenon of the [Six-Winged Angel] was extremely shocking.
If this talent template can be fused with his Ancient Sacred Body, Su Chen wouldn't mind giving it a try.
But now was not the time to think about these things, so Su Chen could only suppress his curiosity and look at Wei Guangming seriously.
Wei Guangming and all the martial arts masters present were extremely tense and dared not even breathe.
Before answering your question, let me tell you something.
"You believe that you destroyed Lin Guangyuan's mansion to stop the Eternal Night Catastrophe, and therefore have a clear conscience, but in reality you are very wrong."
"The dark force that descended from the sky fifteen years ago had nothing to do with Lin Guangyuan's residence."
"The true place where the dark forces descended was not Lin Guangyuan's residence, but the residence of Grand Secretary Zeng Jing, which was only separated from it by a wall."
"In other words, your second deduction was completely wrong, which led to the innocent deaths of more than a hundred people in Lin Guangyuan's household."
On the white jade platform, Su Chen spoke slowly, immediately shocking everyone present.
Wei Guangming, in particular, almost popped his eyes out.
For fifteen years, as the High Priest of Light and the number one person in Momoyama, he has been imprisoned in a dark and gloomy chamber!
Chapter 157 took it away.
But he never regretted it.
Because he always believed that even if it meant sacrificing the lives of a hundred members of the Lin family, it would be worth it as long as the son of the Underworld King could be eliminated.
Although he eventually figured out that the person from another world who was born with a lot of knowledge hadn't died, he only felt that there was a loophole in the plan, rather than that the plan itself was flawed.
But Su Chen's words completely broke him down.
The Lin family had nothing to do with the dark forces that descended that night. They did not die to stop the Eternal Night Catastrophe, but because of his mistake.
This made his belief, which he had held for fifteen years, begin to waver. Had he really done something wrong back then?
Wei Guangming stared at Su Chen in disbelief.
He couldn't understand why something went wrong. The child was clearly from another world, and the Lin family was indeed within the range of the dark forces.
How could there be such a coincidence in this world?
The martial arts masters in the hall also looked puzzled, feeling that there were many unknown secrets hidden behind the massacre of that family years ago.
For a moment, everyone stared intently at Bai Yutai, waiting for Su Chen to continue.
Without further ado, Su Chen opened his folding fan and said loudly:
"You might find it strange that two rare things happened at the same time; it seems too coincidental."
"Actually, just as you thought, this is not a coincidence."
"All of this was originally part of Haotian's plan."
"The dark power you sensed is not from the son of Hades, but from Haotian."
