Her eyes were finally overtaken by the despair she felt from within. Those eyes of the demons coming her way, and the pitiful condition she herself was in right now, thereâs no hope to be found.
âIâll ask again, tell me your name. Oh yes, I forgot to tell you this spell formation will increase in its intensity whenever you refuse to answer me honestly. This time itâs a lightning whip, next time it might be some sort of fire or water attack.â
The spyâs body trembled harder after hearing that: âItâs Mu Mei!â
âSecond question, what are you here for?â
Mu Mei tightly clenched her fists in frustration but answered anyways: âI have been informed that the Demon Realm is attacking us so all of us Monarchs are to gather in this region to combat the threat.â
âMonarchs?â
âHigh Divines are titled Monarchs within the Celestial Realm because we are charged with the rule of a regional territory.â
Bai Yan nods in approval at the explanation: âThen who is it that informed you of our coming? How many of you are there in this world?â
âPlease, the one who informed me is Yun Ruo Xi of the Celestial Palace, sheâs the one you want. As for how many of us there are, itâs somewhere between forty to fifty the last I checked.â
That surprised Bai Yan. Forty to fifty Monarchs? Then that means there might be even more High Divine enemies hidden in the shadows. This battle wonât be easyâ¦..
âOne last question, do you know about a woman by the name of Bai Ning?â
Bai Ning, the name not only roused a reaction from Mu Mei, it downright made her frightened in that moment. Thereâs open fear in the spyâs eye after hearing those two words.
Catching this unmistakable look of recognition, Bai Yanâs expression turned serious and hard when pressing for more: âYou know Bai Ning?â
âThe one youâre speaking ofâ¦. Is she the one who escaped unscathed after openly assaulting the Celestial Palace, that Bai Ning?â
âYes, Iâm talking about her, do you know where she is?â Bai Yanâs heart tensed up and causes her to reach in with her hands without thinking. Sheâs gripping Mu Meiâs collar and almost choked the poor woman with her behavior.
âYan Yan.â Afraid his wifeâs mood would become too unstable, Di Cang hurried over to wrap his arms around her waist to show his support. He hopes the act would help calm her mood down to a manageable level.
âIâ¦. I donât knowâ¦.â Mu Mei stutters this out with great difficulty.
She really doesnât know where Bai Ning was. In fact, the entire Celestial Realm wouldnât know either on where that woman was hiding, otherwise the Celestial Palace wouldâve long sent its people to capture the criminal years ago. Sheâs like a ghost, come without indication and then leave without a trail.
Loosening her grip around the womanâs collar, Bai Yan had to force herself to take a step back in order to inhale deeply. Only then did her emotions calm down a bit. âDi Cang, donât worry, Iâm fine.â
She just wanted to see her so muchâ¦.
âIâll help you find her, donât worry.â Pained by his wifeâs appearance, Di Cang gives her a rub on the shoulder as reassurance.
Bai Yan knew she couldnât change the fact and nodded. Turning back to the spy: âMu Mei, since youâre here already then you can forget about leaving. No one can undo this spell formation that I set.â
Shuddering, the spy frantically pounded at the veil: âIâve already answered your question, what else do you want?!â
Snickering: âJust the fact that you peeped at my husband is enough for me to not let you live! This formation will last for forty nine days, afterwards you too will disperse into nothingness along with it!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
