“What you said there is good,” First Elder snickers derisively at his foe’s sentence, “what belongs to others can never be stolen.”
“Hahaha!” Letting go of the girl, Keeper Ling returns with a mocking sneer of his own that radiated danger. “Then we’re of the same opinion. I’m here today to overturn the Demon Realm! If you demons are willing to return the amulet then perhaps I will let you die swiftly instead of suffering. Otherwise, the fate awaiting you all will be worse than death itself!”
Retracting his smile, First Elder also got serious along the face: “Do you think you scums of the Celestial Palace really have the ability to overcome us from the Demon Realm? If it wasn’t for you lot scheming against our king back then, something like sealing our realm never would’ve happened, let alone letting you bastards climb above our heads for so long!”
“Oh, is that so?” Keeper Ling snickers again in a contemptable manner like he thought otherwise, “Then I will let you know what true power is. I did not want to use this but you’ve left me no other way…”
A thousand years ago, the Keepers as a whole all knew there would come a time where the great calamity would arrive. In order to combat this threat to the world while Yun Ruo Xi couldn’t cultivate or grow, they secretly hid away a certain power within their arsenals and never used it even during their clash with the demons. But now with the ever-rising threat of Di Cang and his followers, this old grumpy Keeper knew it’s time.
Closing his old eyes, Keeper Ling took a moment to gather his breath before opening them again to reveal a gaze that’s as sharp as a blade: “Where’s the demon king? Is Di Cang such a coward that he wouldn’t dare show his face after murdering one of my own?”
The comment definitely made the demons gathered here turn very ugly, but as soon as Dragon Flame wanted to retort, that’s when an overwhelming force came down from the sky and covered the entire landscape in a layer of strength.
For Yun Ruo Xi who was immediately caught by the sudden appearance of Di Cang, this would be the first time she’s meeting this man again after a thousand years. Even if she already had Chu Yi God in her heart, the woman couldn’t deny her heart fantasied of being wooed by such a powerful man. It’s also one of the main reasons she hated Bai Yan so much and persuaded the Keepers to attack the Demon Realm – she’s jealous!
The story actually went like this. On one of the days she secretly followed her former friend to an unknown location, Yun Ruo Xi saw how Di Cang would pester Bai Yan like a shameless dog in order to win her heart. She wanted to feel the same way, be wanted and cherished like a queen. However, nobody acted that way around her due to her lackluster origin and talent. Eventually that jealousy evolved into hatred, causing this old witch to report the incident to Keeper Ling and starting the whole war between the two realms.
