An exquisite airship gradually approached Cangnan City. The airship was very beautiful, with a conical flat and smooth curve like a fish swimming in the sky. It was very beautiful, with an eye-catching scale embroidered on the dark blue tarpaulin.
A group of Winged people warriors went up to greet the airship. After a short exchange, they brought the airship to the mountain peak, where the Tuoba family was located.
The airship stopped in the sky above the square outside the mansion. One by one, people in strange clothes jumped off the airship like dumplings. After landing, they knelt on one knee and coldly looked at the surrounding soldiers. They wore short black and white robes, and each of them carried a golden knight's sword. There was a cross between their eyebrows, as if it was branded with some kind of reflective material. It was very dazzling under the sun, and people didn't dare to look at it directly.
"Light Cast Warriors!" Some of the knowledgeable soldiers couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Light Cast Warriors, as the name implied, were humans who had been transformed by light energy. They were not like ordinary physical masters who gradually absorbed energy into their bodies. Instead, they were forcibly created by a kind of energy transformation device. Although their combat strength was not as good as physical masters, they were more powerful than ordinary physical warriors.
Humans who had been transformed by light energy were deeply influenced by the pure light energy. They had firm beliefs, knew no fear, and were not afraid of death. They would not be influenced by any negative emotions, and each of them was a humanoid fighting machine. It was not that they were irrational, but once they entered a state of battle, they would become extremely fanatical and would not hesitate to sacrifice themselves to defeat the enemy.
At present, there was only one source of Light Cast Warriors, and that was the Judicial Department, a subordinate organization of the Body Arts Association. The Judicial Department had a very long history, and could even be traced back to the beginning of the human race. The purpose of the Judicial Department was to deal with all kinds of evil heretics. Anything that threatened the existence of human civilization could be called evil heretics, including some evil cults.
A tall man with dazzling white skin and wearing a long robe jumped off the airship. His resolute face was carved with a knife and axe, and there was no expression. He stood quietly, as if he was waiting.
The last person to jump off the airship was an old man with white hair and beard. When he landed, he staggered and almost fell. He immediately scolded, "Do you have any civility? Why can't an old man like me jump down from dozens of meters? Can't you let the airship land?"
None of the Light Cast Warriors around him replied. They were motionless like statues.
A large group of people quickly gushed out from the direction of the estate, and the person in the lead was a tall, one-armed old man with thick bones and a stalwart figure. Although his face was covered in wrinkles, his eyes were muddy, and he was already old, his imposing aura was still extremely fierce.
This one-armed old man was the current Prince Jingnan of Higashimogami Province, the commander of the Sky Combat Army, Tuoba Sheng. Tuoba Sheng had already advanced into an advanced physical master more than a hundred years ago, and he cultivated the Tuoba family's heaven-class physical technique, Heavenly Net Energy. Apart from Saints, there were few in the entire human race who could compare with him in terms of combat strength. Unfortunately, time would erase all people and things. After entering his twilight years, his body gradually aged, his energy was constantly drained, and his spiritual energy was gradually exhausted. His actual combat strength might not even be comparable to an ordinary physical master.
Tuoba Sheng said from afar, "I'm really sorry. My son's injuries have relapsed and he neglected Brother Yun."
The old man looked at him from head to toe and said, "Old man, you've aged a lot."
Tuoba Sheng walked forward and propped up his smiling face. "I can't compare to Brother Yun's carefree life. I'm just a person with a hard life. Since Brother Yun is here this time, Little Three can be saved."
The old man's name was Yun Wei, and he came from the Yun family. He specialized in the art of medicine, and he had extremely deep research on life science and medicine. He was an expert in meridian acupuncture. All methods originated from the same source, and all methods originated from the same source. He entered the Dao through medicine, and was the best doctor in the human race.
Yun Wei's expression froze. "Is Little Three's injuries that serious?"
"Sigh, he's already on the verge of death. If it wasn't for the crystal marrow given by the Saint Master in the early years to extend his life, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to wait for Brother Yun's arrival."
Yun Wei frowned. Little Three was Tuoba Xiong, the next successor of Prince Jingnan. At the same time, he was also the only person who had cultivated Heavenly Net Energy to great success. Once he died, it was very likely that the heaven-class physical technique would be lost because no cultivation method in any book could compare to the cultivator's self-sacrifice experience, especially the heaven-class physical technique, which needed to be personally passed down from generation to generation.
Tuoba Sheng looked at the tall man with dazzling white skin and said, "This must be Director Xuan Song of the Judicial Department."
The tall man placed one hand on his chest and bowed slightly. "Yes, I am Xuan Song. Greetings to Prince Jingnan."
"I've heard of Director Xuan Song's name for a long time. Please don't be so courteous. You and I can be friends of the same generation."
Tuoba Sheng stepped aside. In order to encourage the human race to work hard, the physical technique world was not determined by merit or status, but by cultivation level. High-level physical masters were already considered peers.
Xuan Song nodded lightly and resumed his emotionless expression.
Tuoba Sheng squinted his eyes and looked at him for a while. He asked Yun Wei in a condensed voice, "Can't the Saint send anyone?
Why are the guys from the Judicial Department here too? "
Yun Wei replied with a condensed voice, "The Sound Saint is in a deep sleep, and those sea race bastards are closing in. The royal family can't even take care of themselves, and the war zones that the other three families are in charge of are also experiencing frequent changes. They can't spare any masters."
The Judicial Department was divided into three factions, all of which were the inheritors of ancient religions. One of them was a Taoist sect called the Celestial Master Sect. They had always had a single disciple, which meant that there was only one person. They were rarely seen.
Another was a Buddhist sect called the Compassionate Travel Court. There weren't many of them, but they traveled around the human race all year round to preach their teachings.
The last one was the Light Casting Sect. This sect was a group of fanatical believers of light energy. They believed that all life originated from light, and only light was the purest. All the filth in the world could only be purified by light energy.
The Light Casting Warriors had always been independent of the physical technique world. They didn't listen to anyone's orders. They were old-fashioned and cold, and very difficult to deal with. However, although they were difficult to deal with, their combat power was unparalleled. They weren't inferior to the ascetic monks of the Buddhist sect at all.
Tuoba Sheng thought for a moment and turned to the side to invite them. "Please follow me."
After passing through a long passageway and entering a heavily guarded underground fortress, Xuan Ye asked, "Old General, the two Tuoba brothers are both high-level physical masters, and they're in the prime of their lives. They're among the top masters of the human race. If they want to leave, unless a Saint personally intervenes, no one or anything can stop them. What kind of attack did they suffer?"
"Little Three fainted after he came back and hasn't woken up yet. We don't know what exactly happened."
Tuoba Sheng's expression was gloomy as he explained what had happened. The two brothers, Tuoba Xiong and Tuoba Ying, patrolled the frontlines all year round. After returning from the Heavenly Thunder Palace, they rushed to the frontlines again. Half a month ago, they were ambushed in a border town called Rock City. Other than Tuoba Xiong, who returned with serious injuries, Tuoba Ying, three beginner physical masters, and hundreds of Sky Combat Army were all killed. After that, the entire town was wiped off the map, and no valuable clues could be found.
