The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 952 - 445: Zhu Zhao’s Secret, the Advancement Ritual

"Dear passengers, please be aware that you are on the special flight from Tokyo to Peak City. The cruise time is approximately ten hours. The sea waves are high, so please avoid going near the deck and take care of your personal safety. Have a pleasant journey." The stewardess’s gentle voice echoed in the broadcast, alternating between Chinese and Japanese.

Tang Zixuan tried to connect to the internet with his phone but found it impossible. Taixu had already taken control of the entire Eurasian continent’s network, and Order was conquering this world with absolute dominion.

News and newspapers worldwide were reporting on unknown cataclysms, and the cleansing efforts by the Bai Ze Clan against potential threats caused massive upheaval. Someone rumored that escaping to our country means safety; thus, Ascenders and ordinary people from all countries were frantically booking flight and ship tickets, hoping to reach that mysterious Eastern Kingdom.

Our country has now become the Promised Land.

"Based on my experience, the Order World will inevitably send people to check the ports, airports, and borders. Ordinary people may pass, but our identities are likely to be discovered."

The Family Head of the Tang Family said gravely: "The Bai Ze Clan has the ability of foreknowledge, coupled with those Spirit Mediums and Divination Masters. Even if we mix in with the crowd, it’s nearly impossible to escape their notice."

Xu Xiu showed a worried expression: "Especially Ling’er, the Bai Ze Clan will not let her go."

Saying this, the haggard mother shed tears: "It’s all the debt from those years ago."

Tang Zixuan, looking emotionless, clenched his fist tightly and slammed the table heavily, his face deep: "I can’t care less. If the Bai Ze Clan really wants to harm my daughter, what does betraying Order matter?"

The door of the lounge was lightly knocked, and someone softly said: "The debt from those years?"

Gu Jianlin happened to come to see the couple and overheard the conversation.

The Tang Family couple looked up. The pale young man stood at the door, exhausted, like a ghost.

They exchanged a glance, realizing this boy was seriously injured.

He seemed like a very reliable boy, who paid a great price to save their daughter.

Initially, the Tang Family couple feared and revered this child.

Because Gu Jianlin was undoubtedly also a monster.

On second thought, wasn’t their daughter also a monster?

Only a monster can protect a monster.

It makes sense.

"Xiao Gu."

Xu Xiu forced a smile, softly saying: "This is the first time meeting you. Thank you."

Tang Zixuan opened the door to invite him in, nodding gently.

No matter what, this is the person who saved their daughter. Appropriate respect must be given.

Gu Jianlin sat by the table and straightforwardly said: "I want to ask about Thunder’s childhood. Frida’s Schizophrenia is not a natural illness but caused by someone."

This sentence was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, especially for the Tang Family couple, who felt utterly devastated.

Imagine if you had an innocent, adorable daughter, who suddenly contracted congenital heart disease and was dying soon. You traveled everywhere, spent all your fortune trying to heal her.

Years later, someone suddenly tells you that your child got sick because someone secretly swapped her heart, and everything you went through was orchestrated, while the enemy remains at large.

The accumulated sorrow and bitterness over the years ignite like kindling, turning into a furious blaze.

Maybe a scream would drive one mad.

Tang Zixuan felt this way now, overwhelmed by tremendous shock and anger, not bothering to verify the truth because he believed the young man in front of him wouldn’t joke about this.

Xu Xiu also knew the young man was Old Gu’s son.

In the Order World, Gu Ci’an’s name was a golden signboard. Even the Blood Moon Slaughter Incident couldn’t overshadow his past achievements, especially on matters of academic rigor, which were never questioned.

As Old Gu’s son, Gu Jianlin’s words naturally carried a degree of credibility.

"This is the evidence."

Gu Jianlin wasted no words, took photos from his pocket, and slid them across the table.

These photos were taken in the Dragon Burial Valley.

Including the corpses of experiment subjects photographed in Miyako Manufacturing, the wounds on their foreheads were profiled.

"I always thought Ling’er’s forehead scar was from a childhood bump..." Xu Xiu looked at the photos, her hands trembling, forcibly holding back tears. At this moment, as a mother, she didn’t know how guilty she felt, completely unaware of the nightmares her daughter had endured.

As a mother, she felt she had failed.

Tang Zixuan silently stared at the photos, silently clenching his hands, his knuckles turning white.

"I need you to recall if anything special happened back then."

Gu Jianlin seriously inquired: "If not, then I need to know about the Tang Family."

Tang Zixuan was silent for a long time, shaking his head: "If you ask me to recall now, I can’t think of anything special happening. The Tang Family is an ancient family of the Order World, a merit family that opened the Golden Age of humanity four hundred years ago. We’ve contributed to the human world and sought private benefits for the family amidst factional struggles."

"Before my grandfather defected, the family supported the Night Watchers Faction. Vice President Lin Dong helped the Tang Family a lot. The coup incident years ago involved the Tang Family. Later, when Ling’er had problems, Vice President Lai Yin helped contact the Bai Ze Clan, leading to her being sent to Sword Tomb for training and treatment in Lishan."
