Chapter 125: People who Never Learn
"It was not us, but you who saved them all. I have heard from the elders and disciples about you. If it weren''t for you, we might have all died." Elder Mo replied with a sweep of his hand rejecting Aizen''s praise, he felt unworthy.
Aizen did not answer and only smiled. All the cultivators of the main reinforcements force immediatelynded around the number of survivors.
"Ancestor, Sect Leader, forgive me for this ipetence old Mo. If it weren''t for the help of Master Aizen and his group, we probably wouldn''t all be able to stand here." Elder Mo immediately saluted and was followed by Elder Su and disciples from the Heavenly Soul Sect.
The other elders and cultivators also paid their respects to their respective sects. Then all of them tell and report what they experienced, starting from the initial incident at the hidden realm gate to the rescue of Aizen and his nine girls.
Aizen, Ana, and Axel just wait for everyone to hear the reports of the stories of the thirty elders who have survived until they are all over and can return to their main problem now.
"So, you are named Aizen. I represent all the cultivators present, to thank you for your contribution. We greatly appreciate your contribution." Zhang Zhenya, as Ancestor and the oldest with the highest cultivation, represented everyone.
"That''s not a problem, senior. We were hunting down the creature that caused havoc a while ago." Aizen nodded once while answering in a polite tone.
"Before we move on to our discussions and questions, I need to confirm something first. Do you mind?"
Zhang Zhenya was somewhat careful not to show too much power and strength in the face of Aizen as the man and nine girls before him were probably the cause of the super bright sh of light that blinded everyone just a moment ago.
"Sure."
"Are the eight girls who are standing behind you, cultivators who have be fairy tales in thest hundred years? The goddess of light and her seven fairies?" Zhang Zhenya stroked his beard after rethinking it from memory.
Although the golden-haired and blue-eyed girl was a little different from his memory, he had a strong impulse that she was the same person as the woman who had been in the story for a hundred years.
Her mysterious power and always apanied by seven girls as her fairies have made their names so famous in the world of cultivation.
They became known since Axel appeared on Zavier with her superior body, and became famous when she and her seven fairies defeated a giant monster with the power of Sovereign Spirit Realm, and it was all done so easily.
She and her seven fairies managed to save the big city from distress with various kinds of attacks of bright and dazzling lights to kill giant monsters.
Therefore, the eight girls who are led by a woman with golden hair like the Goddess of Heaven have been touted as the Goddess of light and the other seven girls are seven fairies who faithfully serve as servants.
Even though at that time the eight girls were all wearing veils, Zhang Zhenya knew very well because he was present at the scene when the giant monster had just been ughtered and disappeared into thin air, along with Axel and the seven fairies who had disappeared without a trace.
At that time, Axel and the seven fairies only returned to [Axel Goddess] but all the residents and cultivators thought that the Goddess had returned to heaven after handling the tragedy that destroyed a city as a result of the monster''s rampage.
The question from Zhang Zhenya really shocked the other cultivators, more than ten thousand people both men and women were slightly gaping while looking at Axel. They remember the same thing and try topare her with the pictures in the exaggerated story by the rescued townspeople.
They do have some simrities from the pictures in the very popr fairy tale book, even the other seven girls too. But obviously, the real one is much prettier than the man-made image. It''s just that, in the picture, they all have golden eyes, not a variety of colors in each person.
"What would happen if we were the people you mentioned, and what if we weren''t? Would that change anything about all of you towards us?" This time it was Axel who answered in a pleasant and soothing voice.
"No, I''m just curious. Maybe other people are curious too." Zhang Zhenya shook his head then continued his sentence after a short pause.
"I who have the strength in 5th Nirvana Spirit Realm will still have some difficulties when facing a giant monster with the power of Sovereign Spirit Realm, but you can kill it casually right after I happened toe to the rescue."
"No, we didn''t kill the monster casually. A city is still being destroyed because the monster was angry and attacked blindly." Axel also shook his head slightly, she indirectly acknowledged and confirmed that she is the same person in the story.
"Hmm... So, you are the same person. No wonder I could not detect your cultivation level at all, just like a hundred years ago when you suddenly disappeared from the world. Right now, you number ten, not eight girls, and are now led by a man. I see... May I know about you, Aizen, and the ck-haired girl beside you? "
Zhang Zhenya tried to find out how he would handle the current situation. He still needed to know their position, especially the man who was leading the group.
"He is my master, Master Aizen and the ck-haired girl beside him is my sister. I will not tolerate any rudeness in our current coincidence visit." Axel smiled but a dangerous aura emanated from her.
Once again everyone is shocked there, but six young girls feel the most shocked as they gape after knowing Axel is the Goddess in the story and Aizen is her master, the real master, and not just a nickname.
"I think it''s enough about you to find out about our identity. Now back about you and the problem that will befall all of you and how to deal with it." Aizen immediately spoke up to destroy the silence of everyone who was shocked.
"What do you mean, Master Aizen?" Zhang Zhenya changed the way he addressed Aizen much more politely.
The golden-haired girl who was nicknamed the goddess could not measure her strength, so this man who became her master was definitely much stronger than her. Not only Zhang Zhenya thought so, but all cultivators too.
"Do you know the secret behind the hidden realm? The ce you always use for showing off your sect strength, hunting for treasure or legacy, and training the younger generation to experience the mysterious world? Is that what happened? I don''t think it''s that simple."
Even saying so, Aizen smiled amiably as if he were greeting an old friend.
"We have indeed made it a ce to hunt for treasure and legacy, as well as other things. But, since the first tragedy, we have made it a new ce to be explored with high risk. The Vanguard team also means an experimental team for the dangerous level of contamination energy for advanced team exploration." Zhang Zhenya did not hesitate to admit it.
"I see... So it''s like that. Out of thousands of people whether it''s from the most talented young generation of your sect, or not. Only twelve of them managed toe out alive and how about your preparation for that high-risk ce?" It is as if Aizen is scolding and advising his subordinates who made mistakes.
"Look at the elders who are now no more than a quarter of the original number. Where is the prevention of the worst thing? Even your reinforcements arrived sote, did you not expect things to be very bad at all? Not one bit?" He continued the question as he brushed his hand then directed it to the group of elders who had survived.
"More than one hundred and twenty elders of average strength in the Sky Spirit Realm and being guided and led by dozens of elders at the peak of the Sky Spirit Realm. Mu Dong as a representative in that squad. That has been far more than enough in the past hundreds of years." Zhang Jianhong replied unhappily that as if he was being med, he was the Sect Leader who led everything in the alliance.
"Sigh... You didn''t learn from the first tragedy, did you? Then what about the current tragedy? What do you think? Tens of thousands of people have died, just because you underestimated that contamination energy, that dark energy you mentioned..." Aizen sighed in disappointment while shaking his head slightly.
"...Look at the survivors, didn''t they cry in agony because they lost their family? Lost a ce called home, friends, or maybe they lost their way because of this."
Hearing Aizen''sst sentence, there is a girl who haspletely lost her way after all of her family has died and she is nning to kill herself to end it. She immediately looked at Aizen with her eyes still teary, as some hope arose.
"Why are you ming us, huh? Isn''t it because you weren''t good at handling that cursed monster? That monster came because of you, right? So if you weren''t around, maybe none of this would have happened because that monster wouldn''te here in the first ce!" A man in a red gold robe replied with a high tone and angry usations.
