SON OF THE RULER
Episode 153 "The Mystery of the Devil Assault Fifteen Years Ago"
After entering the city of fire lions, Tang Lian immediately went to look for the gifts she had promised Jia Li various shops, ranging from clothing stores to jewelry stores. Yet even Tang Lian still did not find a gift that she thought was suitable.
"Help... I'm already hungry, we should have lunch first and then continue the search for gifts afterwards..." Tang Lian said as she shook her head.
Long Xia Shi and Zhao Yu also just complied, while Lao Hu was still as usual sleeping lazily on Tang Lian's head.
Although Lao Hu looked lazy and asleep, he was actually racking his brain about how he told Tang Lin about his nemesis being alive. Lao Hu couldn't possibly leave Tang Lian now or he would lose his trust given Tang Lian and Tang Lin's unkind relationship.
Within us that fire lion as well, Tang Lian was treated with great respect by everyone, because no one did not know her here. In fact, it is not uncommon for people to give gifts as a sign of gratitude for liberating the small town from their previous leader.
Tang Lian wanted to reject him because some of the gifts were just useless items to her, but she was forced to accept them out of fear that the people from the small town would be disappointed in her.
After another hour had passed, Tang Lian had finally finished eating and returned looking for the gift she had promised Jia Li.
Meanwhile in the upper realms, a middle-aged man was kneeling before Tang Lin who was sitting on his throne.
"Your Majesty, we have found the fifty demon pillar hideout!!.." The middle-aged man reported.
"Have you confirmed that it's not a diversion anymore, General?.." Tang Lin asked with serious eyes.
"I'm sure Your Majesty, I've confirmed it with my own eyes.." Answer the man who turned out to be one of the many generals in the Tang Empire.
"Okay general, explain in more detail!!.." Tang Lin's words were getting serious.
"Your Majesty, as we know, after we repulsed one of the demon lords fifteen years ago, we see if they retreated towards the southeast, but in fact they retreated towards the south.." The general explained.
"Southern motion? Isn't that the direction of Yu's empire?.."
"Yes Your Majesty..."
"But initially they attacked from the southeast, then how could they suddenly exist in the south?.." Said Tang Lin who was feeling a little confused.
The general was also a little confused and speechless. After a while, the general spoke again, "Your Majesty, there have actually been many things that have plagued my mind during these fifteen years.."
"Hm?.. Tell me what is it?.."
"Hasn't this been clear before? Our empire has been infiltrated by demons and there were some traitors back then.." Said Tang Lin who felt if the matter had been resolved fifteen years ago.
"It's not that simple, Your Majesty, if our empire alone can be infiltrated by demons then what about the other empires? Coupled with the fact now that the leader of the assault, the fiftyth demon pillar, is known to have retreated there..." The general explained and sounded very suspicious.
"General what don't you mean is..." Tang Lin stopped his words.
"Right Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the Yu empire has been infinitely infiltrated before we form an alliance with them!.." Said the general blatantly saying his suspicion on the empire that had always seemed very friendly to them.
Tang Lin was silent and seemed to think for a moment, because what his general said made perfect sense. But what he was puzzling about was, how could he be fooled so easily? How did he not realize this all early?.
"Maybe I'm too old.." Inner Tang Lin then shook his head.
"General, before we go any further, I want you to re-investigate the demon pillar attack fifteen years ago, and also investigate Yu's empire secretly.." Said Tang Lin giving the order.
"Your Majesty.." The general accepted the order gladly, then he disappeared from before Tang Lin as if he had never been there.
After the general left, Tang Lin sighed while shaking his head, "Haaah... I hope what I think is not true. Otherwise, I wouldn't even look at our alliance that has formed with Yu's empire over these two hundred thousand years and level it with the ground!!.." Tang Lin muttered with a sharp look of eyes and clenched his fists firmly.
In the revelation of the matter of the sudden attack of demons fifteen years ago, made Tang Lin automatically remember how he parted with his son. Also because that is the main problem until now he is not okay with his son.
If only the demons had not disturbed his composure, then it would have been impossible for him to part with his son at this time, had the traitors been found earlier, then surely none of this will happen. Remembering that really made Tang Lin very upset.
And not only was that what was now troubling Tang Lin's mind, now he was also very confused and curious. As long as he and his wife Ling Yuan had worked together and successfully sealed the demon god in the past, the seal of the demon god was a sign that the demons had been defeated during the great war in the past.
And the demon god was the only one among the most powerful enemies Tang Lin had ever faced, because it was too strong Tang Lin could not even kill that demon god. Tang Lin had already destroyed his body many times but within five seconds his body had recovered as it was so that it left Tang Lin with no other choice but to seal it with the help of his wife's divine gold chain.
Since then Tang Lin had managed to create peace for the entire world up until this moment. Given that it made Tang Lin even more confused, had the demon god been free of his seal that the demons had suddenly invaded the upper realms after hundreds of thousands of years?.
Given that time had already passed for five hundred thousand years since then, Tang Lin felt that it was possible, but there is also another possibility considering that the chain used when sealing the demon god is a divine gold chain.
Tang Lin was a little regretful after thinking about it all, how not? Now due to a lack of information and he has lived too long, making many mysteries that are now popping up in his mind. He thought he had underestimated the demon nation so far that he relaxed his guard against the despicable creature.
"This world... Will it once again fall into the abyss of despair and darkness?.." Tang Lin muttered worriedly.
