As the group of women walked forward. Several men came from the sides and stopped their advancement.
"We the soldiers of the city need to know who you are and what you are planning to do." The man in the back said.
Then he walked forward. He was clearly a fake soldier or someone who had just woken up and had not dressed properly yet.
"I believe the soldiers of the city usually dress properly before announcing themselves." The female Heavenly Judge spoke.
As if on que, lightning began to flash around without any clouds in the sky. Everyone believed that a fight was going on but the female Heavenly Judge believed it was the Stairway talking.
"I will ensure that we are dressed but you all will speak." He spoke.
He went to go gather his clothing. It was hard for him to leave the women there but having no choice. He decided let them go for now.
The group entered the temple. It looked like it was home to beasts and spiders instead of being an actually temple.
"Well, well look what the spiders brought in." A voice sounded weak said.
Lilith rushed forward. She saw a man in an extremely weakened state. She hugged him.
"Long time no see, how is the archtemple of the Heavenly Realms in such bad state?" Lilith asked in a worried tone.
"That is because everyone has either been bought out by the soldiers or killed by them. They cannot kill me but they have poisoned me using too many ways." The man coughed hard before turning back towards Lilith, "Sorry, I probably won't live to see tomorrow. I can grant them their new Dantians if you wish to help me to the pool." The man could feel some strength returning.
"Of course. You have granted so many people new beginnings that it is impossible for us not to help you at the moment." Lilith almost cried speaking.
"Thank you." He spoke.
"Will it be better to do them together or separate?" The female Heavenly Judge asked.
"It has to be separate no matter what. Just ensure that no one can hit me during the process." He spoke.
The shadows shifted and instantly six hundred Shadow People appeared.
"Listen boys, we are on protection duty. I want fifty outside, fifty in the main area, one hundred around windows and entry ways, one hundred around the pool that we will be going to, and the other three hundred at other various spots to ensure help can be called or given to by any means." The Shadow Commander explained only once.
The group instantly went into place. Their goal was simple. If people came with bad intentions, they respond equally. If good intentions, they will ask about what to do.
Thankfully for them, the people came with bad intentions. Once the people pointed towards the temple. The soldiers charged with fury.
"Breakdown the temple and force the newcomers to die." The commander shouted.
The soldiers got met with Shadow People blocking their advancement. This caused the people to be afraid that the War had not ended yet. The commander walked forward.
"I heard the War was over. Why are you all trying to prevent us from doing our good deeds?" The commander spoke.
"Our commander is the husband to the female Heavenly Judge. She is helping those newcomers that you want dead. So either leave us be or be prepared to die." One of the soldiers spoke.
The shadows shifted once again and thousands of Shadow People emerged from them. The group of soldiers could not fight against so many but they also did not want deal with the deaths of so many people before the temple was destroyed.
"We allow the fight to be handled properly. When the newcomers get their new Dantians. Have everyone face us in the upper courtyard." The commander spoke and the soldiers left.
He had different ideas of how to force the women into different states of pleasure and death.
What he did not know was that they were the Mizuki Family now. If he would have known before hand, he would not have dared to fight so openly with them.
Meanwhile
"It has been five minutes of you soaking in the pool naked. Allow me to chant your Dantians." The man began to sing a song that seemed evil in nature but it changed the color of the water to a bright red for Liz.
A flash of spark went through the temple and even blinded most of the town immediately. Liz found that she now had three Dantians completely full of Heavenly Qi. She had no idea how it truly affected her.
Everywhere the others looked, it seemed that she had instantly cleaned the temple and cleansed part of the poison from the man.
The man had a dream of the temple becoming even better than what it was before. He was glad that Lilith was part of the sequence of events that allowed this to happen.
Once Liz had exited the pool, she felt the entire Dantians completely filled with Heavenly Qi. She also wondered why they could be naked in front of another man and asked that.
"In here the Stairway is King, and I am but a servant of that King. I cannot harbor any feelings of love or lust to men or women inside of the temple.
Outside, yes I can but the memories of your bodies are forgotten once I exit the temple for the night." The man spoke.
Iris was next and the color of the pool changed to a bright blue, and she gave the man more energy than he ever felt before with her spark. Violet being the third changed the color of the pool to a bright green and the inside of the temple shifted to a more natural version of itself with the spark. Margaret went next because Amber was afraid that something would happen to her. Margaret gave the man complete immunity to all poisons and cleared himself of all poison inside of him with a darkish blue color in the pool. Amber was last and the town felt scared when the spark seemed to make the sky a brighter yellow and fires seemed to burn hotter. As for the man, he saw a glimpse of something pure and for the first in a long time. He truly was glad to be alive.
