Chapter 710: The Truth Behind the Fall of the Ning Dynasty in 710 [Part 2]

This name is not unfamiliar to Modi.

To be precise, in the entire Global Center, from eighty-year-old elders to three-year-old children, everyone knows who Xiang Lan is.

The only Crown Prince in the Daning Dynasty to enter the East Palace as a woman.

Ning Zhaozong spent all national civil and military officials to cultivate this heir.

The future emperor taught by both Imperial Tutor Han Yunsheng and Female Prime Minister Shen Mingshu.

Blood sister of Yan Wang Hejia, the top of the Four Directions Nobility...

Princess Yongning!

But hadn’t Princess Yongning died young, even before the arrival of the Battle of Ten Thousand Armies?

Modi couldn’t help but exclaim: "Tower Master, are you implying that the person who rescued Yuan Yiming is, is..."

Because the answer was too unbelievable, he couldn’t utter that name for quite a while.

"The Shadow Trailing Sword’s wounds, I’ve seen them before, there’s no mistake." Sky Tower Master said deeply, "These two wounds look like they are caused by ordinary sharp tools, but upon closer inspection, there’s a small cross at the tail of the wound."

Modi looked and indeed found it to be true.

"Because the Shadow Trailing Sword is actually twin swords; even a single sword separated from the pair would possess traits unique to the twin swords." Sky Tower Master continued, "It looks like one wound, but in truth, it’s two."

"Such a weapon is truly extraordinary." Modi marveled, "Shenzhou truly is vast and abundant in divine weapons."

Sky Tower Master did not deny this point: "And Xiang Lan is the owner of the Shadow Trailing Sword; who else could wield these twin swords?"

At that time the Jianghu was grand, and there were numerous tales of the Dragging Shadow Twin Swords.

But few had seen Princess Yongning draw her sword; hardly anyone knew she was the master of the Shadow Trailing Sword.

Modi wanted to ask "how do you know", but hesitated and kept silent eventually.

He paused, and said tactfully, "Tower Master, although the world is large and full of wonders, surely such a thing as the resurrection of Princess Yongning can’t happen."

Sky Tower Master frowned tightly, his gaze fixed on the wounds at the necks of the two bodies, and a drop of cold sweat even flowed down.

In the Global Center, the Extreme Path Organization grew stronger daily, and everyone said the Jidao Sect Leader could rival him, but Sky Tower Master didn’t actually pay it any mind.

Because Shenzhou’s luck is currently far inferior to the Global Center, and it’s being swallowed by the Global Center.

All the luck swallowed by the Global Center would return to the Sky Tower.

It is he whom everyone looks to.

What Jidao Sect Leader, what Four Major Families... Sky Tower Master never took them seriously.

But Princess Yongning Xiang Lan is different, she...

"Tower Master, even if Princess Yongning truly reincarnated and revived, how could her firefly-like power illuminate the whole world?" Modi said respectfully, "If she truly stands against us, then we will kill her!"

"What do you know?" Sky Tower Master said coldly, "She bears the luck of the entire Ning Dynasty! If it weren’t for her death, the Battle of Ten Thousand Armies would have never happened, and those people would never have set foot in Shenzhou!"

"!"

Hearing this, Modi’s heart was greatly shocked.

Luck is the good or bad fortune someone encounters in a short period, reflected in specific events.

Whereas fate is a broader concept, more long-term; it refers to the overall fortune of a person, family, or even a dynasty.

At their level, they all knew that while fate sounds ethereal, it indeed exists.

Moreover, fate in the world is conserved.

If some have good fate, others will have poor fate.

How vast must the fate of a dynasty be?

Is it something one person can bear?

"Hmph!" Sky Tower Master sneered, "With Xiang Lan’s death, Ning Dynasty’s fate came to an end; it will last no more than six years, and even if not destroyed by foreign enemies, other events will cause its fall."

Not man-made disasters, then endless natural calamities.

In fact, after Princess Yongning died, the Global Center already had a preliminary plan for establishment.

Because once she died, this portion of fate would inevitably transfer elsewhere.

The day Ning Dynasty falls is the day the Global Center is fully built.

This is the first time Modi heard such inside information, his expression changed: "So if Princess Yongning truly lives, then that portion of fate..."

"Exactly." Sky Tower Master took a deep breath, "This is not good news."

Modi pondered for a moment and said, "Tower Master, I still believe Princess Yongning definitely did not reincarnate."

Sky Tower Master raised his head to look at him.

"If she really lived, could the Five Great Families of Yunjing sit still?" Modi said softly, "There would surely be some signs."

"You’re right." Sky Tower Master narrowed his eyes, "But this matter must be investigated thoroughly, send He Xi to Shenzhou."

In myth, He Xi is the second angel on the left side of God, overseeing "wisdom."

Sky Tower Master bestowed this name because the recipient possessed great intelligence that could see through everything.

Modi was again shocked in disbelief: "Yes, Tower Master."

"But there’s one thing you’re right about, if it’s truly Princess Yongning, then she must be..." Sky Tower Master murmured, a strong murderous intent igniting in his eyes, "Killed!"

Princess Yongning must die.

At all costs.

A few days later, at Shenzhou University, in the lecture hall.

"Wanlan, where have you been these days?" a girl asked worriedly, "We heard that the International Strategic Studies Institute was under lockdown when we left the inspection center, are you alright?"

"I’m fine, it has nothing to do with us." Ye Wanlan smiled faintly, "I just consumed too much energy, so I rested for a few days, sorry for worrying you all."

"You should rest more," the girl said with lingering fear, "It’s thanks to Wanlan that we escaped from N-Zone alive; otherwise, I can’t even imagine what might have happened."

"The revolution is not yet successful; of course, our lives will remain safe." Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow, "I haven’t been here for the past few days, what class is today?"

"Let me see, today—" The girl slapped her forehead, "It’s theology class, I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time."

Ye Wanlan paused in thought.

Could it be...

"I heard that the dean of Shenzhou University Divinity School is a genius." The girl said excitedly, "And he’s an incredibly handsome guy too."

Ye Wanlan raised her hand and pinched her forehead.

In terms of looks, Ling Yunzhan this madman indeed has a good appearance.

But if you are fooled by his looks, it would lead to eternal damnation.

"I also want to see what our teacher looks like today." said the boy next to her, "It’s rare for the dean to teach a class!"

Ye Wanlan sighed: "Actually, you have already seen him..."

"Ding ding ding!"

The bell rang.

Ling Yunzhan strolled lazily into the classroom, hands in his pockets.
