Chapter 1477: White Dove Avenue
Around the crowded square.
A magician wearing a black top hat was performing a trick of conjuring white doves from his hat amidst the cheers of many children;
a young couple pushing a flower cart was smiling and greeting passersby. Butterflies were dancing on the cart full of bright bouquets, which also attracted a large number of young girls from the Lingxu Domain to watch.
A man wearing flashy clothes, with a handsome appearance that was shocking to the world, was chatting up a girl;
a beggar was squatting on the side of the street begging...
Plum 8's gaze swept over those figures one after another, and he couldn't help but "tsk."
The entire White Dove Square had at least several thousand people at this time, unprecedentedly lively. Many small vendors also seized this rare human traffic, selling various snacks and drinks around the square. Jian Changsheng and the five of them arrived at the outside of the square and couldn't even squeeze in...
"Not cool, guys, didn't you say it was a meeting? How did it turn into a market, hey!"
Jian Changsheng was confused in the crowded crowd.
"Since it's a public meeting, naturally they won't stop the public from watching... Everyone hasn't seen the Twilight Society much, and most of them are still afraid in their hearts, but with Lingxu-jun sitting in charge, they have confidence again... The bold ones in the Lingxu Domain probably all swarmed over," Sun Bumian shrugged.
Jian Changsheng was about to say something when his peripheral vision suddenly swept to the side.
He saw that on the other side of White Dove Square, a straight and spacious street had been cleared. There wasn't a single pedestrian on it, and there were many figures in uniforms standing on both sides, standing straight with fixed intervals, just like an honor guard, motionless.
"There's no one on that road, shall we enter from there?" Jian Changsheng was about to walk toward that street without a second thought.
The next second, Sun Bumian grabbed him.
"Are you crazy?" Sun Bumian couldn't help but speak.
"Didn't you see the words on the side? That road is the 'VIP Channel,' specifically for the Twilight Society coming to the meeting... By passing through that street, you can directly enter the center of the square and sit down to talk with the people of the Lingxu Domain."
Jian Changsheng was stunned, "Aren't we the Twilight Society?"
"This is the territory of the Lingxu Domain! See those people wearing uniforms of different colors? Those are the Six Great Knight Orders of the Yi God Path, all of them are experts! And most importantly, if you walk on that road, it means you will face Lingxu-jun directly... That is the strongest Nine Lords of humanity," Sun Bumian looked at him with a strange expression.
"If you want to go to your death, don't take me with you. I'll mix into the crowd and squeeze to the front row, and I can still join in the fun."
Jian Changsheng nodded thoughtfully.
He understood.
White Dove Avenue is the red carpet that attracts everyone's attention. Once you step on that road, it means you admit your identity as a "Twilight Society member," and you will immediately attract the attention of everyone here!
This also means that the person who steps on that road will be at the forefront of the entire Lingxu Domain. Once something happens later, he, whose identity is exposed, will have nowhere to escape.
But in fact, if you just want to join in the fun and attend the meeting, you can also mix in the crowd. The Lingxu Domain's move can be considered as giving Twilight Society members two options, "one bright and one dark," which can be chosen freely.
"Since that's the case, who would walk on that White Dove Avenue? Isn't that just purely sick in the head??" Jian Changsheng couldn't help but complain.
"..." Plum 8's mouth twitched, and he closed his eyes helplessly.
The next second, an exclamation rang out from the crowd!
"Look!! Someone is walking on White Dove Avenue!! It's a Twilight Society member!!"
Whoosh—
In an instant, the children watching the magician's performance stopped watching, the girls buying flowers stopped buying, and the girl who was being chatted up hesitated for a moment and chose to pull the handsome guy's hand to squeeze to the front row... The eyes of thousands of people in the entire square gathered on White Dove Avenue simultaneously!
He saw Heart 9, with his hands in his pockets and a sloppy look, walking on White Dove Avenue with his head held high and his chest out. His eyes, full of curiosity, looked around from time to time, and he even reached out to fiddle with the knight's armor, almost sticking the words "I am the Twilight Society" on his face!
Jian Changsheng: ...
Sun Bumian: ...
"I almost forgot about this treasure." Jian Changsheng was completely speechless.
"Let him go." Sun Bumian looked at Heart 9, who looked like a local hooligan, and sighed, "The first one to walk on White Dove Avenue is Heart 9... The positive image of our Twilight Society is completely ruined."
Heart 9 walked on White Dove Avenue righteously, even waving and interacting with the surrounding public from time to time, as if he had really become a big star. He passed through White Dove Avenue all the way and came to the central area of White Dove Square.
A large open space had been blocked off here. In the center was a towering tree, and under the tree were a chessboard and two cushions. This chessboard seemed to divide the entire venue into two distinct halves. As the branches swayed gently in the wind, the shadows of the trees brushed against the chessboard...
One side of the chessboard was already filled with figures in red uniforms, guarding the surroundings like guards. At the very front of the queue, a thin man was squinting and looking at Heart 9, who was walking from the other side, exuding a heart-palpitating aura.
Heart 9 knew them. They were one of the Six Great Knight Orders of the Yi God Path, the 【Crimson Knight Order】, and that thin man was the leader of the 【Crimson Knight Order】.
Facing the oppressive feeling of this Knight Order leader, Heart 9 had no fear at all. He sat down carelessly in the open space on the other side of the chessboard and even hooked his finger at him provocatively...
The Crimson leader snorted coldly. Although his body didn't move, the hostility in his eyes grew stronger.
"Old man... er, old man!"
"...What?"
"Old man, you can't walk on this road... Can we change to another road?"
On White Dove Avenue, an old lady leaning on a cane and trembling was moving forward slowly, stumbling with every step, as if she would fall to the ground the next moment... A Deep Blue Knight nearby was dumbfounded and immediately surrounded her, trying to persuade the old lady who had "walked the wrong way" to leave.
"Why can't I walk?" The old lady seemed to be a bit hard of hearing.
"Old man, this road is closed today... Where is your home? We will send someone to send you back."
"Hahaha... young man, you are really polite." A kind smile full of wrinkles appeared on the old lady's face. She patted the knight on the shoulder, "It's okay... old lady, I can find my way back myself."
The moment the old lady's palm touched the knight, the latter immediately stiffened in place as if struck by lightning.
The old lady continued to lean on her cane, walking forward under the confused pointing of the crowd...
At this time, the members of the Deep Blue Knight Order also noticed that something was wrong with this old lady. No one dared to step forward, just staring at her as she passed through the avenue and moved step by step to Heart 9's side... then, stumbled and sat down on the spot.
Feeling the aura emanating from this old lady, the face of that Crimson leader suddenly became incredibly solemn!
