This is the first time since the appearance of the Soul-Eating Beasts that a Soul-Eating Beast has not attacked humans.
No, it wasn't the first time. The first time was with the current city lord, Charles.
Jing Nan turned his gaze to Charles. According to Charles, when he was a child on the ground, he once encountered a colossal Soul-Devouring Beast. Just as the Soul-Devouring Beast was about to devour him, a light suddenly appeared above his head.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a person shrouded in a gray robe standing there. He couldn't see the person's face, but with every move he made, he could control the colossal soul-devouring beast to turn and leave.
Charles did not know the name of the figure, but regarded him as the god who saved him, and called him the Lord of Light and Shadow.
Later, Charles's father became the lord of the lighthouse, and Charles took the opportunity to establish the Light and Shadow Society, making people believe in the Lord of Light and Shadow.
As time went on, more and more people believed in the legend and joined the Light and Shadow Society, hoping to receive the protection and guidance of the Lord of Light and Shadow. Coupled with Charles's identity, the Light and Shadow Society grew stronger day by day.
However, Jingnan always believed that this was just a tactic Charles used to manipulate people's hearts.
After all, apart from him, no one else had ever seen a Lord of Light and Shadow, or anyone who could control Soul-Devouring Beasts.
In the eyes of the Lighthouse People, the Soul-Eating Beast is a demon.
Who has the power to control demons?
However, this incident made Jingnan doubt whether the Lord of Light and Shadow truly existed.
Otherwise, all of this seems far too bizarre.
"The Lord of Light and Shadow has appeared, does that mean we're saved?!"
"As long as we sacrifice those Earthlings to the Lord of Light and Shadow, we won't have to worry about the Soul-Devouring Beasts attacking us anymore!"
"Then, will we be able to go back to the surface?"
"..."
The staff in the communications room began to whisper among themselves after hearing Jingnan's words.
Excitement was evident on everyone's face.
However, Charles's face turned ashen.
His hand, hidden beneath his robe, gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.
He was the first person to come into contact with the Lord of Light and Shadow, and therefore always considered himself the chosen one of God.
This time, the Lord of Light and Shadow did not seek him out, but instead sought out his subordinates.
What enraged him even more was that he had absolutely no idea when the Lord of Light and Shadow had met with the Shadow.
Obviously, it can't be today.
"Bring Suiying back to me!"
Charles struggled to suppress the anger rising within him and tried to remain calm.
After all, besides his confidants, there were many staff members present at this time and place.
As the lord of the lighthouse, he must always remain composed and never lose his authority in front of his subordinates.
"Suiying said that the Lord of Light and Shadow instructed him to go to Xingxuan in Ningchuan City within ten days, and not to come back!"
Jingnan continued.
"These lowly commoners, having been in positions of power for so long, have forgotten who gave them their status!"
Charles said coldly.
