Chapter 238 I support you!
"Silly girl."
Zetian touched Lian Ling's head lovingly, his eyes gentle but firm.
Seeing the joy in Lian Ling's clear eyes, Ze Tian's heart seemed to melt and become soft.
He sighed softly, a smile on his face: "Let's go back!"
"Yeah." Lian Ling nodded obediently with a happy smile on her face.
The two returned to the City Lord's Mansion together. Murong Li was still lazily leaning on the couch, seemingly unconcerned about the situation outside the city where the enemy was at the gates.
"How is it?" Seeing the two people coming back, Murong Li raised his eyes lazily and asked lightly.
"Brother Li, it was Princess Mantuo from the demon world who came. She fought with Brother Zetian and then left." Lian Ling replied disapprovingly.
She didn't know the status and importance of the Demon Princess in the Demon World, so she didn't take this matter to heart.
"What?"
Murong Li jumped up from the couch and stared at Ze Tian in disbelief.
"It's over, it's over! Rumor has it that the Demon Lord dotes on this only princess. Now that the princess has come forward, this battle is unavoidable."
"Then let's fight! Who's afraid of who?"
The lotus spirit transformed itself into a human being for thousands of years and has been lawless in the secret realm of lotus. It has never known how to write the word "fear".
"Ancestors."
Murong Li looked at Lian Ling's fearless face and knew what she was thinking. This person was protected too well by Lian Bai and has no idea of the sufferings of the world.
"Do you know that once the gods and demons go to war, it won't just be rivers of blood. The sky will be dark and the sun and moon will not shine."
Lian Ling was so scared that her eyes widened, she covered her mouth and looked at Zetian.
"Brother Zetian?"
"Ling'er, he is right. Gods and demons have the ability to reach the sky and the earth, and move mountains and seas. If a war breaks out, it will definitely be a terrible catastrophe."
"ah……"
Lian Ling let out a cry of surprise and couldn't help shivering.
"I thought...I thought it was just a minor incident."
She had been in the Lotus Secret Realm since she was born and had never seen war so terrible.
Murong Li and Ze Tian both fell silent. They both knew clearly in their hearts that this war was inevitable.
Although they possessed great strength, they still felt somewhat overwhelmed when faced with such a large demon army.
More importantly, they do not want to see scenes of devastating loss of lives, which makes them feel even more heavy-hearted.
After Ze Tian pacified Lian Ling, he hurried back to the God Realm to mobilize troops.
However, when he arrived at the temple, he encountered an unexpected obstacle. The temple elder stopped him and questioned him seriously.
"Zetian, the existence of our temple is to protect the peace of the God Realm. Youyun City is the defense line set up by the God Realm, and there are already many soldiers stationed there. Why do we need to dispatch personnel from the temple?"
Ze Tian looked at the sanctimonious appearance of the temple elders and felt a surge of anger in his heart.
But he knew very well that he could not act impulsively at this moment and he had to remain calm and rational in order to solve the problem. So he took a deep breath and explained patiently.
"Elder, this time the demons have come out in full force to attack Youyun City, and the defenders in the city have suffered heavy casualties. If the Temple does not send reinforcements, Youyun City will surely fall. Once Youyun City falls, the Temple will be the first to be attacked by the demons. Therefore, we need to unite as one and resist the foreign enemies together."
However, Ze Tian's words did not impress the temple elders. He sneered.
"Hmph! Zetian, don't exaggerate. Although Youyun City has suffered heavy losses, it still has a large number of troops. Moreover, they have the support of the people in the city. However, our temple has limited manpower and cannot be dispatched easily. Otherwise, if the temple is attacked, who will protect the divine world?"
Zetian was trembling all over, but he tried his best to control his emotions and continued.
"Elder, Youyun City is the first line of defense of the God Realm. If it is breached, the entire God Realm will be in crisis. We should put the overall situation first, put aside personal grudges, and unite to fight against the demons. Only in this way can we defend our homeland and protect the people."
However, the temple elder remained unmoved and insisted on his own opinion.
"Humph, if that kid Murong Li can't even defend the small Youyun City, then let him die to atone for his sins!"
The elder snorted coldly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, and he didn't care about Murong Li's life or death.
"The Temple will definitely not send a single soldier to Youyun City. Let Murong Li figure it out on his own."
The elder's words were full of indifference and ruthlessness, and then he turned away.
Looking at the elder's gradually disappearing back, Zetian felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife, and a deep sadness surged in his heart.
He couldn't help but ask himself: When did the once sacred and solemn temple become so corrupt and become a tool for a group of people to pursue fame and fortune and engage in intrigue?
Zetian clenched his hands into fists, but it was of no use. In the end, he could only hang his head helplessly and set out on the journey back to Youyun City in frustration.
When Ze Tian returned to Youyun City, Murong Li could see his frustration and disappointment at a glance.
Murong Li couldn't help but sneer, his tone full of sarcasm and disdain.
"Have you hit a wall? I told you long ago that those old guys all want to sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor. You are still unwilling to abandon a temple that has long been decayed?"
Murong Li's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Ze Tian's heart.
Zetian sat in the chair with a lonely look on his face, his face gloomy, and his eyes revealed unspeakable sadness and disappointment.
"Brother Li, please stop hitting Brother Zetian. He's already sad enough."
Lian Ling couldn't help but defend Ze Tian when she saw his distraught look.
Her eyes were full of concern and sympathy, as if she could understand the pain deep in Zetian's heart.
"Oh, little girl like you, you actually started to protect him so quickly?"
Murong Li looked at Lian Ling's protective look and felt both amused and helpless. At the same time, a trace of envy welled up in his heart.
After all, Zetian has such a confidante who protects him wholeheartedly.
But I was born with a stunning appearance, but I am alone and there is no one who understands me.
Ze Tian lowered his eyes silently. After a moment's silence, he suddenly raised his head with an extremely determined light flashing in his eyes.
His voice was deep and powerful: "Ali, when I became a god, I made a vow to protect all living things. No matter how rough and difficult the road ahead is, I will stick to my beliefs and do what I should do."
Murong Li knew his character well, so he rolled his eyes and said nothing. Lian Ling, however, looked at Ze Tian with starry eyes and admiration.
"Brother Zetian, I support you!"
