The misted Xu Le floated in the center of the secondary hall. He was quite happy to see Meris driving Dorn away.
“Although I personally don’t mind fighting with masters, such a fight is basically meaningless.
I come to do business, not to fight, Lord Meris."
Looking at Xu Le who had solidified his body again, Melis seemed to have given up the idea of continuing the attack.
"Don't you understand yet?"
"Understand what?"
"Strength is the best proof of identity. The reason you are able to stay here and talk to me intact is because you are strong enough."
Melis's words made Xu Le somewhat dazed.
"Yes, strength is the best proof of identity. Everything else is false."
Meris walked up to Xu Le and took off his red cloak, revealing his firm muscles and beautiful figure.
Seeing Meris's look, Xu Le still raised his eyebrows slightly.
Meris hooked his finger at Xu Le:
"Do you want to? Of course."
"Haha, no need for that. I like men."
"...Hahahaha, interesting, interesting words. Although your goal is to kill Dawn, your personality is really hard to hate."
Seeing Meris sitting in front of him in a cool outfit, Xu Le narrowed his eyes and then began to talk about the main reason for coming here today:
"I came here because I have something I want to ask Lord Meris."
"In exchange for the information of the Son of Gu Yinduo? You are worth more than that, Xu Le."
“Information about the Son of Gu Yinduo is rare. Even for me, I only have the previous two pieces of information. It’s troublesome to get more information.
So... I'm going to ask Lord Meris to verify something.
This matter is very important. I think that even in the Red Moon Temple, only people of Lord Meris’ level can know something about it.”
Hearing Xu Le say this, Meris's expression became playful and curious.
"Only people of my level know this? That should be the secret of the Red Moon Temple.
Are you sure you want to ask? There are many things that cannot be told to outsiders, unless... you become one of us. "
"I just asked that. It's up to Lord Meris to decide whether to answer this kind of question or not."
Xu Le had already made up his mind that if Meris was unwilling to answer, he would turn around and leave and would never stay here any longer.
It's a pity that Meris's connection is broken, but he is no longer a soft persimmon that can be easily bullied.
Even in the Red Moon Temple, he can leave when he wants to and stay when he wants to.
Meris pinched his body and moved closer to Xu Le:
"Then... ask."
"I want to know about the previous master of the Red Moon Temple."
Meris: …
The atmosphere in the hall turned cold after Xu Le asked this question.
The smile on Meris's face froze because of this.
However, she did not do anything out of line, such as kicking Xu Le out.
She just stared at Xu Le quietly, as if she wanted to see through everything about Xu Le.
"The previous Palace Master has been dead for more than ten years. How did you know him, and why do you want to ask him?"
"Dead?" Xu Le was a little surprised.
Is the person Meris was talking about the same person he was asking about
"Yes, such a guy, with such crazy ideas, would not be allowed to exist even in our Red Moon Temple.
Such a person will only bring disaster to the world, so he must die."
"The sorrowful Cangming?"
"Heh, it seems you have really heard of his story. Where did you hear the legend about Cangming?"
Xu Le shook his head slightly:
“No, there are too few stories about him. It is because I want to know his story that I came to ask Lord Meris for confirmation.
This kind of thing... can you tell me in detail? It's about the previous Palace Master, Cangming."
Meris did not answer Xu Le immediately, she just walked around Xu Le in circles.
From time to time, he would touch Xu Le with his fingers, teasing him to the utmost.
Although Xu Le also had some feelings, the Soul-Eating Tree would always absorb all of his lustful energy.
So at this moment, Xu Le seemed to be able to remain calm.
“I said before that only those within our Red Moon Temple, and they must be top talents, are qualified to know this information.
Even my daughter Dawn doesn’t know this…”
Xu Le didn't say anything, he felt that Meris might not have finished speaking.
"You really don't like women? The taste of women is very interesting..."
"There is no necessary connection between this and the matter we are negotiating, right?"
"Hahahaha, okay, okay, if it was in the past, I naturally wouldn't be able to tell you this kind of thing, but now the Red Moon Temple does need talents and sufficient strength.
I don't know how you knew about Cangming... Did you pick up the books and ideas he left behind, or was you infected by his violent thoughts
In short, he is an extremely dangerous guy, and the Red Moon Temple spent a lot of effort to kill him. "
"What did Cang Ming do back then?"
Melis's eyes revealed reminiscence:
"Cang Ming is a very thoughtful leader. As the master and leader of the Red Moon Temple, Cang Ming has always been a qualified leader.
At the beginning, he was really committed to leading us to seek light, so the entire Red Moon Temple believed in him.
Cangming’s order is the direction of our Red Moon Temple.
This situation lasted until Cangming proposed a special plan, and everything collapsed from that time on."
When Xu Le heard Melis mention a special plan, what Chi Xiao had said before immediately flashed through his mind.
God Seduction Plan
Use a real god to lure the arrival of one or more true Sons of Gu Yinduo.
When Chi Xiao told Xu Le about this plan, his first reaction was madness.
Bold and crazy.
Let’s not talk about the process and results of this plan, but just thinking about it is not something that ordinary people can do.
It now seems that Cang Ming's madness is not new.
More than a decade ago, when he was still the master of the Red Moon Temple, he might have had similar ideas and even proposed a similar crazy plan.
"What kind of plan did Cangming come up with at that time?"
"At that time, Cang Ming proposed a plan called God Slavery."
Gods enslave, gods seduce
Wow, it’s indeed just one person’s idea.
"Does he want to enslave the gods?"
"You are right, he wants to enslave the gods."
Xu Le was silent, while Meris continued to speak.
“As you know, the Red Moon Temple takes the Red Moon itself as the basic belief, and then absorbs the Red Moon’s spiritual energy to develop the belief and one’s own potential.
Although we at the Red Moon Temple have developed many forbidden techniques in the process of developing our power, the foundation of everything is still the Red Moon."
"What is Cangming's plan? Enslaving the Red Moon God?"
"Yes, you are right again. Cangming's idea is different from that of relying on Hongyue. He proposed that humans themselves are the basis and humans are the masters of this world.
There is nothing wrong with this idea itself, but the mistake is that most of the power of the Red Moon Temple depends on the spiritual energy of the Red Moon itself.
He wanted to enslave the three great gods, and directly attacked some angels and guardians.
This matter was not discussed with us.
His madness and ignorance brought disaster to the Red Moon Temple.
At that time, an unprecedented internal struggle broke out in the Red Moon Temple, resulting in countless casualties, and a large number of people from the Cangming faction were purged.
In the end, Cangming died at the hands of the Immortal Veiled God - Man Yue."
Listening to Meris's narration, Xu Le pinched his chin.
I have to say that Cang Ming is quite thoughtful.
The idea of putting people first is indeed in line with the philosophy of Xiao and Chi Xiao.
Although those people have some selfish motives, their ideas are based on human beings, and human beings are the masters of the world.
In fact, even Xu Le himself agrees with this idea.
Humans should indeed be the masters of this world.
It's just that he is rather timid. Even if he has such an idea, he probably won't put it into action, let alone come up with a complete plan and then push for its implementation.
From Meris's words, Xu Le roughly understood what had happened.
There are definitely omissions and inconsistencies, but generally speaking, there are three points where Cangming failed.
The first and most important point is that his personal strength is insufficient.
Logically speaking, as the master of the Red Moon Temple, Cangming should have a powerful strength of more than level 8.
This can be seen from the plan to lure the gods proposed by Chi Xiao. This person should be quite confident.
But his strength was probably not enough at that time, and he was eventually defeated by Man Yue? Maybe that's the case.
Second, the plan was launched ahead of time without adequate preparation.
Logically speaking, such a thorough plan should be fully prepared.
Third, it is energy separation.
Chi Xiao had mentioned this before, all members of Xiao were doing energy separation.
Their final form is to combine the Ancient Sound Multi-psychic energy with the Red Moon psychic energy to form a psychic form that is not restricted by either party and is sufficiently stable.
According to what Chi Xiao said before, it is very likely that some people have already succeeded in balancing spiritual energy.
A large number of these people should be those hiding in the Red Moon Temple.
This is also the reason why Chi Xiao said before that many people are not ready yet and need time to balance their own strength.
"The past of your Red Moon Temple is really exaggerated."
“The past of the Red Moon Temple is not exaggerated. The Temple has always been committed to the peaceful development of mankind and the pursuit of light.
The oppression and victimization that you feel are actually done by the Red Moon Temple in order to balance the power of this world.
Just like you Zion, Zion is developing technology, which looks good.
But no one knows what the end of technology is, the abyss or light. Even you Zion people probably don’t know.
What's more, do you think it's really a good idea for an ordinary person to control the power that can destroy a city
For example, your Li Wen from Zion is just an ordinary person. "
Xu Le was silent for a moment. As for ordinary people possessing the power to destroy cities, the nuclear bombs in his previous life had already demonstrated the pros and cons.
Is it really good? He doesn't know whether it is good or not.
In a sense, nuclear bombs have indeed brought peace to the world, but they have also plunged the world into constant crisis.
"I don't know if it's good or not."
“No, in fact, you know very well how many disadvantages there are for an ordinary person to master extremely powerful power.
First of all, the personal will of ordinary people cannot be compared with that of extraordinary people. Perhaps there are indeed humans with strong will.
But most of the time, the willpower of ordinary people is definitely not as strong as that of extraordinary people.
Compared to extraordinary people who can control their own mental energy, ordinary people are more easily affected by mental energy fluctuations.
Compared with extraordinary people, they do not have sufficient self-protection ability and need protection from others.
This is an even greater flaw.
A person who possesses destructive power but cannot protect himself can easily be coerced by others.
It would be fine if he could really sacrifice everything and disregard danger, but if he is a selfish person, it would be a disaster for the entire city and even human society. Do you think I am right
Xu Le."
Xu Le continued to remain silent. Every person he met in this world seemed to have his own set of reasons.
If you listen carefully, it seems that everyone's argument makes some sense.
This is not a nesting doll, but the ideas of the people Xu Le met do have their merits.
This is also the reason why they each fight.
"Lord Meris has confused me. The purpose of my coming here today is not to listen to your teachings."
“You have such strength at such a young age, I dare not teach you.
If you can keep developing, it will be a matter of time before you surpass me.”
“Lord Meris, you are too kind. You are a truly strong man.
Anyway, you answered my questions today, which is very important to me, thank you very much. "
"It seems that you really have contact with him."
Xu Le narrowed his eyes. Although he questioned Cang Ming several times, Meris never thought that Cang Ming was not dead or had escaped.
How could she be so sure that Cangming was dead
"Lord Meris, do you think Cangming must be dead?"
"You want to ask why I didn't ask about your Cangming's whereabouts?"
“Yeah, why not, even if you witnessed his death with your own eyes, there are still many abilities in the warlock system to avoid death.
Among the forbidden techniques, the life-substitution technique has the ability to avoid death. In addition, there are some other special techniques.
Why are you so sure that Cangming is dead? What if he is not dead?"
“Of course I am sure that Cang Ming was defeated by Man Yue.
But the one who ultimately decides Cang Ming is Red Moon itself."
