Falling Into Darkness

As soon as the news came that Elder Layton wanted Master Mundi's family, Mundi's family immediately began to prepare to transfer to meet him in his secret residence.

However, a piece of secret information was sent from an unknown place, and placed in front of Elder Layton's desk, it was the movement of Mundi's family!

According to this information, Elder Layton sent troops everywhere, and actually captured Master Mundi's other two sons and two wives! And put the four of them in prison for treason, waiting to be sentenced.

Elder Layton once again issued an ultimatum to Master Mundi, asking him to go to Tecave City in person immediately to explain the matter in person.

As soon as this incident happened, almost all the people on Planet Cerea turned their hateful eyes on Elder Layton, and even his Army defected.

Master Ki-Adi-Mundi, a man of high morals and respect, is generous and has the style of an elder. Even after joining the Jedi Knights, he still does not forget the people of Planet Cerea. When he encounters crises many times, he runs around. Even fighting for their lives, he finally protected the safety of Planet Cerea.

He hoped that Cerea could follow the tradition and maintain its simple way of life, and hoped that industrial pollution would not destroy the beautiful scenery of the planet. Regardless of whether this concept is still accepted, every Cerean is still proud of Master Mundi.

But Layton had already fallen into madness at this time, and his fanaticism for power made him unable to listen to any advice! Under the guidance of Darth Malthael, he has completely believed that Master Ki-Adi-Mundi is the last obstacle blocking his way to the peak of power!

He even had a dream, dreaming that Master Mundi's head was sent to him by his men, and then a shining golden transport ship descended from the sky, the hatch opened, and countless tanks were placed majestically, waiting for his review.

Yes! Master Mundi! He is the idol and belief of the people of Planet Cerea! Such a person should not be alive! Only dead idols are good idols! Kill Mundi, and then those ignorant people can only offer their loyalty to themselves after seeing him destroying Elder Dorr in a devastating way!

Master Mundi, who was in meditation, was furious when he heard the news. The first thing he thought of was to enter Tecave City immediately and kill Layton! Save your wife and children!

But he immediately suppressed his emotional fluctuations, and he immediately contacted his other wife and children, telling them to come over and join him. Afterwards, he used the communication to notify Elder Layton, telling him that he was willing to come to Tecave City, and the two had a face-to-face talk.

However, just now he thought he had arranged everything when suddenly a strong premonition of crisis came. Following the instructions of The Force, Master Mundi walked out of the secluded forest, only to see a large group of gangsters and bounty hunters rushing towards him viciously!

Master Mundi, who was worried about his family, couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, he drew out his Lightsaber and rushed straight up!

...

At the same time, Coruscant, the tower of the Jedi Temple.

Master Yoda, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. He stood up from his seat, looked into the distance, and said in a deep voice, "Prepare the spaceship, immediately."

"What happened? Master Yoda." Master Windu asked.

"Planet Cerea, Master Mundi." Master Yoda said as he walked, "Go in person, I must."

The Shuttle soon passed through the Hyperspace Channel and traveled thousands of light-years to Planet Cerea. Looking through the porthole, you can see the blue sea and lush land on this planet. This is really an extremely beautiful planet.

But Master Yoda didn't care to appreciate the beautiful scenery. He just drove the Shuttle to accelerate continuously. The spaceship entered the atmosphere like a shooting star, and then flew directly towards the castle!

The Shuttle landed, and Master Yoda jumped down before the hatch was fully opened. He saw that outside a house in the castle, there was a large crowd of onlookers, including Cerea people and people from other planets, but they all pointed and talked with their middle fingers.

Master Yoda sighed, he raised his hand and waved lightly, the crowd around seemed to feel a refreshing breeze, and they involuntarily made way for a passage.

At the door of the house, there were more than a dozen corpses scattered all over the place, and in the middle, there was also the corpse of a huge and rough Chiwen man—a race somewhat similar to elephants on Earth.

And Master Ki-Adi-Mundi knelt in front of the house with his Lightsaber in front of him.

Even though he sensed Master Yoda's arrival, Master Mundi still didn't say a word, just sat there on his knees, motionless, like a rock.

Master Yoda sighed, and walked forward slowly, "Master Mundi. It shouldn't be like this, what you did. Deviated from your heart, your Force. Anger, sadness, pain, I feel it. Darkness You will be tempted by it."

"His name is Ephant Mon, a leader of Jabba's gang." Master Mundi answered irrelevantly, "He sent his men to kidnap my wife and children, and even kill me. I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of losing my wife and children again because Sylvn has already been assassinated by them, by this man!"

"Everywhere, the temptation of the dark side. Makes you afraid of losing, the affection of loved ones. Well done, you used to. But now..." Master Yoda shook his head and sighed again.

"I still have two wives and two sons in the hands of Elder Layton, and I am going to save them. Even if my career in the Jedi Order is ruined, I will save them." Master Mundi said, "I sense your coming, Master Yoda. I'm saying goodbye to you..."

"Go back to the Jedi Temple, now. I will rescue your wife and children." Master Yoda said firmly.

"But I..."

Master Yoda raised his hand, and a peaceful force of light enveloped Master Mundi as if washing away all the darkness on him. Master Mundi seemed to be in pain at first, but he forced it, and then his brow relaxed.

He bowed deeply to Master Yoda and said, "Yes, Master Yoda. I will return to the Jedi Temple, spend my life exploring the essence of The Force, and never set foot in this System again."

Master Yoda nodded, he thought for a while, and suddenly asked Master Mundi's back: "Ephant Mon is the murderer, who said that?"

Master Mundi stopped in his tracks, thought for a moment, and then said, "I was attacked outside the woods, and it was one of the bounty hunters who said."

"Hmm...a hired bounty hunter who knows such secrets..." Master Yoda pondered.
