Just when Lu Yi complied with Lu Ying's request and communicated in the direction of Jinghai.
Far away on the other side of the world, the Main Empire is like a scorching sun.
Along the vast mountains in the southwest and heading south, the human footprints will gradually become sparse and disappear.
Further inward, continuing into the precipitous mountains, you will find a small basin surrounded by countless cliffs.

Next to a lake in the middle of the basin, there stands a huge fortress made entirely of huge rocks.
Simply judging from the size of this fortress.
As long as anyone comes to take a look, he will instinctively have a feeling of "fortress" in his heart.
This is the Main area branch of the Libra Association
It is also the foundation of the Monroe family in Main.
...Jonesberg
……
Like the Twilight Island, the headquarters of the Libra Association, the busy-looking crowd in Johannesburg also wore the uniform silver uniforms of the Libra Association.
Although everything seems to be business as usual.
But in everyone's eyes, you can faintly see some fear.
A sense of impending disaster is looming over this huge fortress.
At this moment, in the central hall in the center of the entire fortress.
Hundreds of ability users looked solemnly, all looking at the thin, white-haired old man on the Zhongyang high platform.
The old man is ‘Marion Monroe’, the general person in charge of the Libra Association in the Main region and one of the twelve Libra envoys.
In the solemn silence of everyone, Marion Monroe on the high platform looked relaxed and content.
The calm smile on his face almost never changes.
"What's wrong?"
Slightly gentle eyes glanced around
Marion Monroe's smile remains unchanged.
"We just had a small misunderstanding with the headquarters."
"You guys... don't have to show such a scary look, right?"
As Marion opened her mouth.
The crowd around seemed a little more lively.
Immediately afterwards, someone loudly said:
"Lord Marion, this is not friction at all!"
"This is despicable persecution and purge!"
"Lu Yi of Zhuxia is using the stolen power... to dig the foundation of the Libra Association!"
I don’t know whose shouting ended.
Marion's smile on the high platform remained unchanged and she shook her head while sighing.
‘Lu Yi is the successor personally designated by Speaker Alifang.’
"There is no doubt about this..."
As he said this, without waiting for anyone to speak again, he glanced around and said:
"Although he killed my grandson Batowan on Twilight Island."
"But this is just a grudge between me and Lu Yi. It is a matter between the Monroe family and Lu Yi."
"For the noble mission of guarding the Earth Star."
"When Lu Yi comes tomorrow... I hope everyone will exercise restraint!"
As Marion's words fell.
It was like a pot was exploding all around, and almost everyone had a flash of anger in their eyes.
But Marion on the high platform did not give them a chance to continue talking.
He grabbed the small mallet next to him and knocked it gently, then said with a smile:
"Okay! The meeting is over!"
"Remember what I said and be sure to exercise restraint!"
"..."
Perhaps Marion's prestige in Johannesburg is too strong.
When he announced the adjournment of the meeting, many ability users around him had anger in their eyes, but did not say anything more.
After countless people filed out in neat queues.
There were only a few people left in the entire central hall.
At this time, not far away, in the shadow where the sun could not shine... a young man in a wheelchair slowly moved out.
The face that is similar to Batowan has a gloomy look that is almost dripping with water.
"Grandpa, I thought you held this meeting... to organize a war with Lu Yi."
With a cold tone, he looked directly at Marion, who also lost his smile.
The young man continued to say coldly:
"But I didn't hear your determination to resist."
"Lu Yi is a headstrong person. I'm afraid he will take action when he comes tomorrow!"
"If we mobilize everyone to build a defense line now, we... may not need to be afraid of him!"
"..."
"Determination to resist?"
Moving his eyes slightly, Marion looked at the young man in the wheelchair.
Then he sighed and said:
"Adam...I didn't want to resist."
"There is no need to resist."
After saying this, Marion moved lightly and came behind Adam like an ordinary old man.
While pushing the wheelchair forward, he said in a deeply tired tone:
"Adam...I know what you are thinking and what you are doing."
"But..."
A hint of regret flashed in his eyes.
Marion continued;
"We cannot resist Lu Yi of Zhuxia."
"Tomorrow he will come and I will die."
"But the Monroe family will not perish."
At this point, the moving wheelchair stopped with a creak.
Adam sat on it and squeezed the brake at hand.
The look in Marion's eyes behind her was full of incomprehensible disbelief.
In his mouth, he almost trembled and said:
"Grandpa!"
"The Main Region has one-third of the strength of the Libra Association!"
"Your allies are spread throughout all regions of Earth Star!"
"Even if Lu Yi really comes... we can still compete with him!"
Amid Adam's disbelieving voice, the expression on Marion's face did not change.
Just stared at him quietly and said:
"It's different, Adam."
"Times...have changed."
His eyes swept over Adam's empty trouser legs without leaving any trace.
Marion sighed deeply and said:
"If we are ahead of the wave, with our strength... we can indeed fight against each other."
"But now..."
The indifference and sadness in his eyes did not diminish at all, Marion just looked at Adam and said:
"There are some things you will understand later."
"Now, accept it all calmly."
"Before tomorrow morning... I will send someone to take you to the imperial capital."
"..."
"What!
”
His pale face suddenly shook, and Adam stared at his grandfather, who he used to regard as a god, and was about to refute.
But Marion looked at him and shook his head.
"After arriving in the imperial capital, you will understand everything."
……
……
Send away your grandson who seems to want to talk to you again.
Marion stood alone in the central hall, wearing an extremely slim-fitting Libra Club uniform, with her spine straight.
In front of him was an ancient mural that was said to have no origin.
On the peeling walls, except for the refreshing blue.
There is only a brilliant red sun rising.
I have been looking directly at the mural in front of me for who knows how long.
Finally, a gentle sigh came from Marion's ears.
"What a pity!"
"Alifon misjudged the wrong person this time."
"..."
With this sigh sounded.
Marion was shocked and started to worship the mural in front of him with a humble expression.
"My Lord!"
"..."
"Heh."
Facing Marion, he worshiped with humility and piety.
The voice that spoke before chuckled and continued:
"Marion, at sunrise tomorrow... you will meet the end of your life."
