âSoâ¦â Keeper Ling seemingly calms down somewhat in his voice, âI, Keeper Zun and Keeper Hyun will go together. The others here will remain in the palace in case anything happens.â
The others didnât object to the idea after some thought and felt it reasonable. Though they did have opinions about the matter, but they too understood there werenât any better options.
âKeeper Ling, when will we set out then?â Keeper Hyun who normally donât speak up asks after slowly getting off the seat.
âWe will set off now since the demon king set the date to be three days from now.â The grumpy keeper snickers a sneer at the impending gathering.
In Keeper Lingâs view, it would greatly hurt the Celestial Palaceâs credibility if they refused the invitation. Moreover, he also needs to confirm it in person if that demon king was the real deal or some fake!
âButâ¦â Keeper Hyun pauses over his own words, âWhat if this matter becomes known to the Celestial Lord. How do we solve that?â
Celestial Lordâ¦.
The room turned silent over that title and grew unnervingly creepy in the air.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDo you really think that the Celestial Lord loves that woman to that extent?â Clenching his fist until itâs making a crunching sound, Keeper Lingâs anger started to boil over again, âDo you think he will go that far for her?â
Isnât that the case?
Despite the firm belief from the elder, the others in the room werenât so sure on this topic. After all, the Celestial Lord did and continued to leave them for a thousand years just for her, thatâs a fact.
âHoho, you are all foolish.â Snickering a grin, Keeper Ling went ahead to explain his reasoning: âDid you forget how we won the war back then? For the sake of this world, for the sake of the Celestial Realm, the Lord abandoned her back then! And for the same reasoning, he will do it again!â
Thatâs right, the Lord has the world in his heart, thereâs no way he would abandon everyone for the sake of a single woman.
That finally settled the matter for the rest of the Keepers. Sure, they are in agreement one woman couldnât possibly compare to the whole wide world, but they are also aware of how much regret that incident back then caused Chu Yi God..
Keeper Ling didnât care for what the opinion was at this point, he only wants to see it for himself. Walking out of the room, he snarls sarcastically: âDemon King, I like to see how much ability you have left after a thousand years!â
This time, even if the Lord tries to stop me, I must send the Demon Realm and its foul abominations into destruction!
â¦â¦
Regarding the date set three days later, Di Cang actually didnât send it directly to the Celestial Palace, rather itâs to the entire Celestial Realm. Even if these Keepers respected their Celestial Lord, their pride and esteem would never allow them to ignore the provocation.
At this moment not far from the Celestial Palace, a certain teal dragon was hovering above the sky, its head carrying a majestic white tiger while flying.
âWhite Tiger, Mistress said the place should be hereâ¦â Tsing Yi the Azure Dragon gazes down at the open land with cold harshness, âThis is the bordering area around the Celestial Palace with lots of disciples living here. You say, what if we destroy this place, what will those people feel?â
âIsnât it obvious? Those bastards will probably come chasing us once they find out we trashed their territory.â Little Rice proudly proclaims, his appearance mighty and strong in his grown teenage form. âBut Iâm a good tiger, I always listen to Mistress. Since she doesnât like this place, Iâm going to ruin this area for her sake!â
The thought of two years ago where Bai Yan suddenly removed the connection between himself and her still lingered in the tigerâs heart. So, right after he got word from her to attack this place, this loyal cat wasted no time to come here.
