Chapter 508 The Catastrophe of a Hundred Years Ago

"All right, let's leave it at that for today! Contact me if you need anything." Zachary said as he continued to talk with Quillan for a while. Then, with a blink of an eye, he disappeared from Quillan's sight. Exhaling heavily, Quillan took out his phone and made a call. When the call was answered, he spoke in a deep voice.

"Inform all Ink Pavilion members at the core disciple level or above to return to the headquarters immediately and go into seclusion. They are not allowed to leave the mountain without my permission." "Understood, Master!" came a low voice from the other end of the line.

After hanging up the phone, Quillan looked in the direction of the mountain village once more, his eyes filled with a fierce determination. Then, he muttered to himself, "King of the West, we will meet again!" With that, he disappeared into the nearby forest.

At the same time, Billy and his group arrived at Arthur's small courtyard and took their seats. Bessie poured tea for everyone.

"Once again, thank you, King of the West and Lord Greenleaf, for your assistance." Arthur and Bessie bowed to Billy and Adam.

Before this meeting, they had already guessed that Ink Pavilion would launch a massive attack, but they never expected it to be on such a scale, far exceeding their estimates. Without Billy and Adam's help today, their group of more than a hundred people might not have survived.

"Mr Fowler, Mrs Charleston, you're too kind!" Adam replied. "We should be thanking you on behalf of the millions of citizens in Glavale."

"Mr Fowler, Mrs Charleston, please have a seat and let's talk." Billy said, smiling.

Arthur and Bessie nodded and took their seats.

"Mr Fowler, let me introduce a brother to you." Billy smiled and gestured to Bob Stokes. "He's Bob Stokes, from Ether Mountain, and he currently serves as a deputy minister in the Central Sky Office." "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr Fowler." Bob stood up and greeted Arthur.

Although he was a bit unruly and had only revered the figures from Ether Mountain, he still showed the basic respect due to Arthur Fowler, the former Minister of Central Sky Office.

Furthermore, Bob had a faint suspicion that Arthur and Bessie, who had been hiding in this remote village for twenty years, might be guarding something for the benefit of all of Glavale. Such individuals deserved his respect.

"You're Bob Stokes?" Arthur looked at him and smiled. "I heard about you from someone a while ago, and the comments about you were quite positive."

"I guess it was Elder Hum who told you about me, right?" Bob scratched his head and continued, "I knew it, he must be in touch with you over here. That old man is a sly one, he just won't tell me anything about what's happening over here."

"Elder Hum? Which Elder Hum are you talking about?" Arthur raised an eyebrow.

"Uh... you mean it's not Otis Hum?" Bob Stokes twitched his mouth slightly.

"Of course not." Arthur smiled and waved his hand.

With that, he turned to lan Blade and said, "If I guess correctly, this should be the Young Master of the Blade Sect, right?"

"Mr Fowler, nice to meet you, I'm Ian Blade." Ian bowed respectfully.

"Blade Lord is quite fortunate." Arthur said with a smile. "Please, have a seat and let's chat."

"Mr Fowler, can you finally tell us the secret of this village?" Stout couldn't hold back any longer and asked.

"Haha, naturally," Arthur smiled and then looked at Adam. "Lord Greenleaf, how about you explain this?"

"Sure," Adam nodded and looked at the others before asking, "Do you all know about the concept of 'national destiny'?"

"Yes," they all nodded in unison.

National destiny is the foundation of a nation's prosperity. When national destiny is strong, the country is strong; when it is weak, the country is weak. Though it falls into the realm of metaphysics, many times, one can't help but believe in these metaphysical concepts.

From individuals to entire countries, there is an inextricable relationship with metaphysics. Expanding to the level of a nation, it becomes national destiny.

"A hundred years ago, several major countries in the west invaded Glavale, and it was a catastrophe for Glavale," Adam took a deep breath and continued, "That catastrophe caused massive losses to this country, not just in terms of lives, wealth, and property."

"The most significant loss was the destruction of Glavale's national destiny. Since then, Glavale's national destiny has been in decline, and everything has been difficult." "For the last hundred years, several generations of Glavale's people have worked tirelessly and sacrificed their lives to restore the national destiny."

"Uncle Adam, are you saying that Mr Fowler and Mrs Charleston are related to Glavale's national destiny by staying in this village?" Casey asked after taking a sip of tea. "Do you know about the invasion by several major countries in the west twenty years ago, intent on bringing disaster to Glavale once again?" Adam asked in response. "I've heard of it," Night Orchid nodded. "But it is said that during that invasion, they came in high spirits but left in low spirits, defeated by Glavale."

"Yes," Adam nodded again. "During that invasion, although most of the reclusive families and martial sects, like a hundred years ago, remained inactive, some of them began to stand up, thanks to the efforts of the capital. With their help, we managed to repel the Western countries."

"I understand," Night Orchid and the others nodded in agreement.

They had heard of these events. Many reclusive families and martial sects, such as the Stuart family, the Clouds Sect, Secret Essences, Blade Sect, Sword Sect, and more, had dispatched many strong individuals to participate in the battle.

"Do you know why those countries invaded Glavale twenty years ago?" Adam asked.

"Is it also related to the national destiny?" Azure Dragon asked.

"Yes," Adam nodded again. "They were afraid that after decades of development, Glavale had accumulated enough strength, and one day, Glavale would reopen the path to national destiny. When national destiny descended upon Glavale, it would soar once again. So, they couldn't help but take action."

"At that time, their target was the dragon vein of Glavale, and their intention was to sever it, thereby destroying Glavale's national destiny."

"Uncle Adam, does Glavale's dragon vein have something to do with Kun Lun Mountains?" Billy asked after taking a sip of tea. "That's right," Adam nodded.

"Kun Lun Mountains, known as the place where the Jade Dragon Soars, are the center of the world's dragon veins. In Glavale's tradition of thousands of years, there is a saying that 'when all the world's dragor veins arise, Kun Lun Mountains shall reign supreme.""

"The entire dragon vein network of Kun Lun Mountains resembles a giant dragon, safeguarding the peace of Glavale. If the dragon vein of Kun Lun Mountains is destroyed, it will spell further disaster for Glavale's national destiny."

"Uncle Adam, I think I'm starting to understand," Bob Stokes said. "Are Mr Fowler and Mrs Charleston guarding the dragon vein of Kun Lun Mountains?"
