Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1346 Natlan's "Great Isolation"

A few minutes later, Huang Luozhou had simply explained the current situation to Xuan Wuchen.

Lin Lan was not polite at all and directly asked the little sword spirit to help transfer the origin of the Beizhou Life Monument into Bai Qixue's body.

Upon learning that he was the commander the Northern Alliance had been looking for, and the person who would inherit Zhuo Haokong's legacy and come from Liaozhou to resolve the God-killing curse, Xuan Wuchen could only sigh as he watched the origin of the Zhenzhou Life Monument being extracted.

"I hope the commander and all the comrades from the Northern Alliance will forgive me for my ugly behavior just now..."

Seeing that Xuan Wuchen had completely sobered up and did not interfere with the actions of the little sword spirit, Lin Lan's attitude softened a bit and he waved his hand and said:

"I understand your efforts over the past thousand years, but as I said, the final battle with the...ancient evil demon is imminent, so I still need your contribution."

"I have no choice but to accept your responsibilities. Commander, your slap in the face has really woken me up."

The exaggerated healing power of the ninth-level demon clan has made the injuries of this old, skinny black tortoise, whose eyebrows have turned white, significantly improve.

During their conversation, the little sword spirit completely transferred the origin of the Beizhou State Stele to Bai Qixue.

Lin Lan didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the little sword spirit’s illusory figure had become much more solid than before, as if it really had a physical body.

Out of concern for Kronstadt who had not yet returned, he could only temporarily attribute this to the holographic projection.

"Chief Xuan, your tribe's camp is not far from the Demon King's inheritance site. Has anything unusual happened there?"

The Soviet Alliance asked Xuan Wuchen in a serious tone.

When Xuan Wuchen heard this question, his body trembled.

Looking at the faces of Lin Lan and the little sword spirit, the old Xuanwu demon sighed, as if he had finally made up his mind:

"Since you have come to the ice field, I think you already know that the Demon King's inheritance site is the place where the Taoist ancestor who shaped the Natlan Heavenly Dao died."

Seeing that no one was surprised, Xuan Wuchen sighed again.

The truth about the Demon King's ritual that he then revealed caused the pupils of everyone in the room, including Lin Lan and Huang Luozhou, to shrink:
“But the so-called cruel and bloody Demon King inheritance ceremony was not actually what Daozu intended.

"As early as the first ceremony, I had already seen that the power that Daozu left behind for the inheritance of the Demon King after his death had been corrupted by the evil demons."

As soon as Xuan Wuchen finished speaking, the hot-tempered Huang Luozhou suddenly attacked, grabbed the collar of Xuan Wuchen's Taoist robe, and roared uncontrollably:

"What did you say?! Xuan Wuchen, do you know what you are talking about!!!"

"Release him and let him continue."

Although Lin Lan was also shocked, she still held down Huang Luozhou's arm.

Time is running out, and he must hurry to find out the truth about the Demon King's inheritance site.

But when he heard him stop him, Huang Luozhou actually shook his body and knelt down in front of everyone, covering his face and letting out a heart-wrenching wail of collapse.

It is hard to imagine that the Qilin demon, who has lived for at least hundreds of years, could cry like this.

“Fellow Daoist Huang’s eldest son was the last rampaging demon king who was killed by the Oran foreign fleet.

"Yes, my three biological children are also former demon kings."

Xuan Wuchen was silent for a long time, but he finally continued in a low voice with great sorrow:
“The Demon King’s legacy has been eroded, but I…will never let the countless people created by Dao Ancestor be devoured by evil demons.

"After all, if the power inherited by the Demon King is completely controlled by the evil demon suppressed by the God-killing Curse, it will definitely break the seal with the help of both inside and outside forces."

Hearing this, Lin Lan had already guessed something and asked directly:

“So, your method is to let the Demon King inheritance ceremony proceed as usual, select the strongest ones, and transfer the corrupted inheritance power into their bodies.

"And these rampaging demon kings who have become vessels will also be killed and eliminated by you and the human cultivators?"

Xuan Wuchen looked at him deeply and nodded:

"The more people know about the existence of the evil demon, the more powerful it will become.

"In order to prevent the evil from growing stronger, I can only resort to this last resort, so that the world will only know the rampaging demon king, but not know that he is a puppet that bears the power of the evil."

After getting a positive answer, Lin Lan took a deep breath.

It is just like how the Hui'an Dasi of ancient Liaozhou established the Nine Islands Alliance.

In order to prevent the spread of memetic pollution from the Category V threat and to continue maintaining the seal of the God-killing Curse, the great black tortoise chose this covert way to protect Natlan.

“The large-scale appearance of evil cultivators on the ice field indicates that the seal of the evil demon has been loosened.

“If you want to completely destroy it, Comrade Commander, you must hurry to the Demon King’s inheritance site.

"The place where Daozu died is the place where the evil demons are suppressed."

After Xuan Wuchen finished speaking, he looked down at Huang Luozhou who was still crying with a complicated expression:
"Patriarch Huang, please leave this to me for now. If you have any instructions, I will do my best to help you."

Lin Lan nodded calmly, turned around and led the girls who had been waiting for a long time out of the flying spirit weapon room. "The wounded from the Suzaku clan and the other two clans will arrive soon. You wait here and make room to receive them."

Before leaving, he told Xuan Wuchen about his future work.

Now that we know the truth about the Demon King's inheritance, the so-called ritual is naturally no longer necessary.

He planned to take all the ship girls to Kronstadt immediately, and after healing the injuries of the Suzaku clan, he would go straight to rescue the White Tiger and Blue Dragon clans.

At the same time, a bold but worthwhile idea came into his mind.

Once the seal of the God-killing Curse is broken, all living things in Natlan will be corrupted.

Therefore, he had to go directly into the Demon King's inheritance site to complete the decapitation operation and eliminate the ancient Type V threat entity of Natlan before the three Type V threat pollution sources leading the Nightmare Fleet arrived.

As for the three nightmare fleets and the Category V threat hidden within them...

It is just right for testing the power of the Baiyang-01 Rubik's Cube ballistic missile.

"Yes, they are very similar."

As he watched them leave, a few flashes of memories appeared in Xuan Wuchen's cloudy and old eyes again.

"Why does the little girl from the sacred land of Liaozhou look so much like the person in the portrait that Daozu once drew?
"And why did the icy sword aura of that human sword cultivator girl who didn't say a word from beginning to end seem so familiar to me..."

"Well, my mission is done. Now it's up to the commander and the Northern Alliance comrades."

The old and aged Xuanwu demon shook his head and looked at Huang Luozhou, who was lying on the ground with a broken heart and crying bloody tears.

"I'm sorry, my old friend. If everything can be settled, I will spend the rest of my life atoning for my sins after the truth is revealed...

"But next, we still need to fully assist our comrades, so it's time to wake up."

……

On the way out of the flying spirit device, Lin Lan told the girls who were accompanying him about the bold plan he had come up with.

"Well, I agree with the commander's decision."

The Soviet ally spoke first without giving it much thought:

"Although there are great risks, this is the best solution in the short term."

The statement made by the Northern Alliance flagship also represents the thoughts of all the Northern Alliance shipgirls.

There is no combat operation without danger.

As long as they are with the commander, they will go with him even to hell.

Even Gangut has taken out the Water of Life and started applying buffs in advance.

Lang Yuexi also had a positive attitude towards his plan and said in a serious tone:

“No one knows how long it will take for the evil demon suppressed by the God-killing Curse to break through the seal, so the sooner we can reach the Demon King’s inheritance site, the greater our chances of winning.”

Bai Qixue naturally nodded repeatedly. Although the little white tiger was young, he knew that this battle would determine the fate of his homeland, and he was not afraid at all.

As for the Explorer and the Breaker, the two Antiks girls were unable to calculate the probability of such a decision due to the lack of intelligence, so of course they obeyed his orders.

Only the little sword spirit kept his head down and remained silent, as if he was thinking about Gu Liaozhou because of the truth about the inheritance of the Natlan Demon King.

Lin Lan felt quite distressed and wanted to say something.

But he knew that the best way to comfort the little sword spirit was to destroy the ancient Class V threat of Natlan.

So he quickened his pace, intending to seize the time to bring Kronstadt, Lei Ming and Hong Liang back to his side.

However, just as they were about to reach the flying spirit weapon deck along the corridor, Lin Lan discovered three more light spots outside the door at the end of the corridor in front of him.

In the next second, the wooden door of the flying spiritual weapon was pushed open.

As the cold wind blew towards him, he stopped.

The tall and majestic lady who appeared at the door, with her long silver hair and white velvet coat fluttering in the wind, looked tired but with an expectant look on her face, made him smile with surprise.

"We were just about to pick you up, but I should say at this point...long time no see, Kronstadt."

Before he could say anything more, two petite figures rushed in from the door and hugged him tightly without saying a word.

It was the two Northern Alliance destroyer girls who had just returned from the battlefield and finally reunited with him.

Thunderous and sonorous.
