Chapter 2158 Mortis Murder Case (Part )

2159. The Mortis Murder Case (Part )

Led by his son, Tang Xiao came to a cave in Mortis.

The cave was bottomless and emitted an ominous green light. At his son's signal, Tang Xiao walked ahead and walked down the winding staircase.

Tang Xiao clearly felt that his son was very anxious in the cave. He seemed very uncomfortable and suffered pain and hurt with every step he took.

But his son seemed not to care. He just followed Tang Xiao with his hands behind his back.

After walking down for hundreds of meters, they finally came to a green sea of ​​fire. This was the literal meaning of a green sea of ​​fire, because the flames in it were green, but Tang Xiao could not feel any temperature.

Above this sea of ​​fire, there was a platform floating, and on the platform was a trapezoidal altar. This altar was made up of several triangles, with a dazzling green flame dancing in the center.

The son was obviously very afraid of the flames. He pushed Tang Xiao and said anxiously, "Go! It's here! In the middle of the altar. If you walk over, you will see the dagger."

"I... go over there?" Tang Xiao pointed at the green sea of ​​fire. If he wanted to get to the platform, he had to step over the flames. However, the environment here made it obvious that if he tried to take shortcuts like jumping over, he would definitely suffer a catastrophic disaster.

"These flames are ineffective against people like you. These flames will only hurt us," said the son.

"But if even you can't resist it..." Tang Xiao still seemed a little hesitant.

"Stop talking nonsense! Get over here! I'll make sure nothing happens to you!" the son said impatiently.

Tang Xiao finally made up his mind and stepped over the flame. Although he knew nothing would happen, he was still very nervous at that moment. After all, in the original story, it was Obi-Wan Kenobi who stepped over the flame, but now he was on the dark side. He didn't know if the green flame would react to the dark side of the Force.

But the facts proved that he was worrying too much. The green flames passed over Tang Xiao like a cool breeze. He stepped over the flames and stood in front of the altar.

As if sensing his arrival, the triangles that made up the altar began to move on their own and reassemble. The dazzling green flame in the center of the altar slowly rose, then gradually changed, and finally became a dagger about half a meter long!

The Mortis Dagger! The only weapon known to be able to kill Taito!

The origin of this dagger is unknown, and even in the setting, the origin of this dagger is not introduced. Therefore, this dagger is likely to be older than the "father", perhaps tracing back to the god of creation.

This dagger is also one of the means used by the 'father' to intimidate his daughter and son. Because among the three Taiyi here, only the 'father' can pass through the green flames and get this dagger.

Taito who was killed by the dagger will die completely. In the plot, the "father" committed suicide with this dagger, causing his son to completely lose his immortal power and be killed by Anakin Skywalker.

In other words, if 'father' did not die from the Mortis dagger, then the death he mentioned was most likely just a sleep.

The moment he got the dagger, Tang Xiao had a strong urge to kill his son directly! But he glanced at the sneer on his son's mouth and immediately gave up the idea.

The Mortis dagger can indeed kill Tai Ren, but only if you can stab them. Tang Xiao doesn't think he has the ability to stab his son.

Hanging the dagger around his waist, his son walked over and waved his hand lightly, and the dagger immediately disappeared from Tang Xiao's body.

"It's just a little trick. The dagger is still here." said the son, "And don't worry, 'father' and daughter will never be able to detect the dagger on you. I will also block their perception so that they cannot sense your murderous intent." Tang Xiao nodded heavily with murderous intent in his eyes.

……

Next, the son directly drove Tang Xiao out of his dark church.

Tang Xiao wandered around aimlessly in Mortis. He just followed the light in the sky, which should be the direction where his daughter lived.

The outside of Mortis is a huge diamond-shaped creature, and the inside is a huge space with a diameter of thousands of kilometers. Even if Tang Xiao uses the Force, he cannot cross such a distance in a short time.

After he had been running around for two days, a clear cry was heard from the sky, and a griffin emitting holy light descended from the sky. It grabbed Tang Xiao without saying a word, took him into the sky, and flapped its wings to fly at high speed in one direction.

"Where are you taking me?" Tang Xiao asked loudly.

"Take you to see 'father'." The daughter replied.

"Are you still not going to let me go?" Tang Xiao asked again.

"'Father' will perform a ritual that will explore your mysterious origins. If it is confirmed that you have no impact on the balance of the Force, then we will let you go immediately." said the daughter.

"No one will have no influence on the balance of the Force. 'Father' is just making excuses! You are just ignoring the lives of hundreds of billions of people in the Principality of Dawn as toys! If the dark side continues to expand as a result, then it will be your responsibility as the messenger of light!" Tang Xiao said sternly.

"There's nothing I can do about it." The daughter's voice trailed off.

"No, you can do it." Tang Xiao said in an almost pleading tone: "Our country is facing the threat of war. I have no other request, but I hope you will let me go back, and then we will resist the invaders with our own strength. Even if we fight to the last man, this is what you call the law of nature. But if I am not here, do you think the death of hundreds of billions of people is still the law of nature? Isn't this the consequence of your influence?"

The daughter was obviously persuaded and she fell silent.

Tang Xiao's mouth twitched, and he said again: "My son asked me to kill my 'father' during the ritual."

The daughter was startled and looked up, "What did you say? How could he do this!"

Then she thought of something, shook her head and said: "No, you can't kill 'father', you are too weak. Unless..."

A cold dagger was pressed against her chest.

"That's right, that's the only reason." Tang Xiao said coldly, holding the Mortis dagger.

The daughter seemed to be really angry this time. She gritted her teeth and said, "Son, he actually took you to get this dagger! And he also blocked our perception!!"

"You're right, he's completely crazy." Tang Xiao said, "But you should also know that in front of the lives of hundreds of billions of people in my Dawn Principality, I would also go crazy."
