“Because Ruo Xi is the only one who can save us from the calamity!” Keeper Ling’s face sank, “Demon King, is it not worth it to trade a daughter for the safety of your entire race? As long as you’re willing to do as we wish then I will personally promise the prolonged peace and safety of your family and relatives.”
Raising a brow over that remark, Di Cang’s eyes were filled with dominance and disdain: “If I can’t even protect the Demon Realm and need to use my own daughter to save it then what good am I? I might as well forfeit my position right now!”
“You’re really going to forsake your own kind for the sake of a daughter?” Keeper Ling cries that out with clenched teeth, not believing the level of selfishness the other side had.
Turning to the pompous and rude old man, Di Cang suddenly replies with the weirdest answer he could say: “I cherish my own life alot.”
Cherish my own life?
What does that mean?
We only want his daughter, not his life!
All three Keepers were thinking this and didn’t understand where that idea came from.
“The children are my wife’s lifeblood, and my wife is my lifeblood! I cherish my life so why would I offer it up?” That said, a surge of powerful killing intent blasts off from Di Cang’s body and creates a torrent of dark clouds above his head.
“If I have to choose between one or the other, I will only choose her!”
What about the Demon Realm? In my heart I only have my wife!
Keeper Ling who has never been good on his temper exploded. He went from green to red, then red to white, then from white to blue, that’s how outraged he was right now.
“Do you hear that? This is your king! The one you all swore loyalty to is abandoning your wellbeing. How can any of you fight for him?!”
In light of the powerful and reasonable questioning from his viewpoint, the demons gathered here today only ignored the senior’s words and didn’t bother to give any eye contact.
“Fools! All are fools!”
Stomping his feet like a loose cannon, Keeper Ling didn’t get it at all. He doesn’t understand why these demons would follow someone so ruthless and cruel in his eye. But then he didn’t have time to dwell on the matter because something more urgent was requiring his attention. Right exactly then, the token hidden within his sleeve had activated and created a burning sensation to catch his attention.
This item was a messaging tool given to him by Keeper Yellow, it’s to inform the three of them something major has happened at the Celestial Palace and required their immediate return.
It can’t be… something happened while we were gone?
Seeing their brethren not speaking anymore from out of the blue, Keeper Zun and Keeper Hyun both showed a frown. Then looking over to the old man’s hand that was holding the token, they both realizes it couldn’t be good.
“Is something wrong?” Keeper Zun asks with a tinge of worry.
“Something happened back at the Celestial Palace, we must go back now!”
The faces of the two both changed over Keeper Ling’s word.
Something happened to the Celestial Palace?
There’s so many Keepers there, what can happen?
Di Cang didn’t take his eye off these three so he was easily able to pick up the sudden change in their mood. Therefore he could already guess his wife had succeeded and the plan was taking place as they speak.
“You think you can just come and go as you please?” With a whisk of his sleeve, his figure instantly reappears before the three seniors’ back to block off their path.
Before he didn’t attack after they dared to go after his daughter – mainly because he was stalling for time – but now that the plan was in action, he had no reason to hold back anymore and allowed his fury to take control.
“Demon King, you really want to make an enemy of us?!”
