Chapter 337 Holy Tower
Although they knew that going to the Holy City might be dangerous, Zhou Wen and the other three ultimately chose to go to the Holy City.
Zhou Wen didn't know why Hui Haifeng and the other three chose to go, but although Zhou Wen had not been with Wang Mingyuan for a long time, Wang Mingyuan had indeed helped him a lot and even saved his life.
This might be the last time Zhou Wen sees Wang Mingyuan, so he wants to go and see him no matter what.
Both the princess and Qin Wufu tried to persuade them, but no one was willing to give up the chance to see Wang Mingyuan for the last time, and they resolutely boarded the plane sent by the Federation to pick them up.
Qin Wufu sent his personal guards to accompany Zhou Wen, but was rejected by Zhou Wen because even if he brought two top epic masters, it would be useless in the territory of the Supervisory Bureau.
The federal inspectors were very polite to them, without their usual arrogant attitude. They tried their best to meet their needs along the way. After arriving in the Holy City, they politely invited them to stay in a guesthouse under the jurisdiction of the Inspectorate.
They originally thought that the Supervisory Bureau might turn against them when they arrived at its territory, but that did not happen. The Supervisory Bureau still provided them with good food and drink, as if they were afraid of neglecting them.
"When can we see the teacher?" Zhong Ziya asked an inspector impatiently.
"It depends on the arrangements from above. I'm just an ordinary inspector, and I'm just following orders from above." The inspector said with a smile.
They originally thought that they would be able to see Wang Mingyuan soon, but it was not until the third day that the inspector asked them to get ready and go to see Wang Mingyuan.
Zhou Wen and his three companions passed through layers of checkpoints and entered a secret base in the holy city. In a heavily guarded room, they met Wang Mingyuan.
Wang Mingyuan seemed to be in good condition. He was not subjected to inhumane torture as they had imagined. There were no injuries on his body and he still had that gentle smile on his face.
But Zhou Wen always felt that Wang Mingyuan was still a little different, yet somewhat familiar, but he couldn't put it into words. The feeling was very subtle.
"You are all here." Wang Mingyuan looked at the four people and said with a smile.
"Teacher, are you okay?" Zhong Ziya asked worriedly.
Wang Mingyuan shook his head slightly and asked with a smile: "Remember I asked you a question before?"
The four of them were slightly startled. Zhou Wen immediately remembered Wang Mingyuan's question about pain and death. He asked doubtfully, "Is it about the choice between death and pain?"
Wang Mingyuan nodded and said, "Yes, I asked you before, and you all gave your answers. Later, you all asked me what I would choose. At that time, I hadn't decided what to do, but now I have an answer."
The four of them looked at Wang Mingyuan with some confusion, wondering why he still cared about that issue at this time.
However, they all understood Wang Mingyuan's character and knew that he was not a person who would speak without purpose. Raising that question now might have some deeper meaning.
Zhou Wen was also thinking secretly, wanting to know if Wang Mingyuan was hinting at something to them.
But Zhou Wen thought about every word Wang Mingyuan said at the time, and compared it with every word he said now, and really couldn't think of any hidden meaning or deep meaning.
In another room separated by a wall, the Director of the Supervisory Bureau, Shen Yuchi, Qiao Siyuan and other key personnel of the Supervisory Bureau were watching the conversation between Wang Mingyuan and Zhou Wen through the one-way transparent glass.
"Commander, Wang Mingyuan is from the Wang family in Luoyang. He doesn't want to meet so many relatives of the Wang family, including his blood brothers, but he wants to meet his four students. I think there is something wrong with this?" Qiao Siyuan said.
"This is the headquarters of our Supervisory Bureau. Are you afraid that he can fly away? No matter who he wants to meet, as long as Wang Mingyuan can help us after he meets him, it's fine." said a director of the Supervisory Bureau.
Qiao Siyuan frowned slightly. What he hated most were those guys who spent their days loitering in the office, not only doing nothing but also causing trouble for them.
"Listen to what they say, and when you send them out later, interrogate the four of them separately to find out what questions Wang Mingyuan asked them." Shen Yuchi said.
"Yes, Director." Qiao Siyuan replied.
In the next room, Wang Mingyuan glanced at Zhou Wen and the other three, then smiled and said to them, "My answer is that, like Jiang Yan, I will choose the second path."
After saying this, without waiting for Zhou Wen and the other four to react, Wang Mingyuan stood up and said to the mirrored wall, "Alright, I've said everything I wanted to say. Now you can do what you want to do. But I have one condition: I need the four of them to come with me."
Zhou Wen and the other three were all shocked. It was obvious that Wang Mingyuan was not talking to them. They didn't know what the situation was, nor did they know what Wang Mingyuan was trying to do.
"Commander, Wang Mingyuan cannot be trusted. He wants to bring Zhou Wen and the other four with him. He must have some ulterior motive. We cannot agree to it." Qiao Siyuan said.
"There are only four students. Even if we let him take them, what kind of trouble can they cause?" The previous director and Qiao Siyuan were rivals and always contradicted him.
Shen Yuchi frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said into the microphone: "Wang Mingyuan, you are asking for too much."
"As the only one who can open the Holy Tower, my request should not be too much, right?" Wang Mingyuan said with a smile, as if he was sure that Shen Yuchi would agree to his request.
Shen Yuchi's gaze passed through the glass and met Wang Mingyuan's. After a moment, he said coldly, "This is your last request. If I hear you make any more requests, I will kill one of your students."
"Deal." Wang Mingyuan nodded slightly.
Zhou Wen frowned slightly, unsure of what Wang Mingyuan meant. Jiang Yan muttered to himself, "Hasn't the Holy Tower been closed for a long time? Can the mentor open a closed Holy Tower?"
When Zhou Wen heard Jiang Yan's words, he was about to ask something, but the inspector came over and took Wang Mingyuan, Zhou Wen and the others out.
Soon, they were escorted into a car. The interior of the car seemed to have a special design so that they could neither hear nor feel any movement outside. They couldn't even tell whether the car was moving.
"Teacher, what is going on?" Although there were inspectors watching them, Zhong Ziya couldn't help but look at Wang Mingyuan and ask.
"I have already told you the answer. Now I just want you to accompany me for the last time." Wang Mingyuan said calmly, but his eyes were a little complicated.
Jiang Yan said, "As far as I know, the Holy Tower should be the defense hub of the entire Holy City. It is also the hub between the Holy City and the Holy Land. Originally, the Six Hero Families could use the connection between the Holy Tower and the six major temples in the Holy Land to borrow the power of the six major temples to form a defense network. The strength of the defense network can even block attacks from mythical creatures. But Jing Daoxian used some unknown method to shut down the Holy Tower, causing the Holy City's defense network to disappear. This is how they were able to rush into the Federal Building and kill people. Although the Federation has been researching, no one has been able to reopen the Holy Tower to this day."
The fifth update will be a little late, sorry.
