Thousands of years ago, Heavenly sealed the channels licking the domains using his own power. It’s just that…. Tried as he may might, the man lacked the necessary strength to completely cut off the link in its entirety. Therefore, it has now setup this twisted arrangement where the strong and mighty monarchs could not travel while their weaker subordinates could at will aside from entering the main world.
“Now we only want to know one thing: Heavenly Flame, is he alive?” The most senior foe stares down at the defenders, his voice arrogant and brazen.
JI Sky’s eyes grew heavy: “Our monarch is of course alive. If that’s the reason you and the rest is here then that’s enough, you can leave now. The Heavenly Domain does not welcome the likes of you here.”
“Hahaha!” The senior bursts out laughing. “Ji Sky, you think we will believe that? I cannot sense an ounce of Heavenly Flame’s energy signature. Since you won’t tell the truth then don’t blame us for being impolite!”
His eyes gradually filled up with killing intent as he raised a hand to give the signal.
“Kill them!”
The order given, the battle has begun as the thunder roared and the howling cry for blood rained down at the defenders.
Ji Sky’s strength was indeed very strong to the point where his name reigns supreme even among the other faction’s followers. However, that doesn’t mean he’s unbeatable.
With no time to think, Elder Sky promptly drew his sword to meet the oncoming attackers with his fellow defenders.
“Do not fear, our liege may not be at the manor right now but he’s going to return sooner or later. Until then, we must defend the estate!”
Unlike other powers, those living in the Monarch Manor are relatively united. And if they aren’t, well those people had long perished during the previous invasion by the other domains, that’s why the elder council sought Heavenly’s return. They needed a powerful anchor for the fresh and surviving blood.
……
Unaware to most defenders, there’s a particular woman hiding behind the masses of black dots which comprised of the invaders.
“Miss Yun, this location is unsafe, we should go back….” A maid accompanying the masked female spoke with crisp clear voice.
Yun Ruo Xi (old witch) coldly huffs a grunt at the nosy service maid: “Quit annoying me. It was not easy for me to get permission from the monarch to watch this battle. It’s fine as long as I’m not back at the Celestial Realm or Demon Realm.”
Still hesitant, the maid didn’t sound so sure: “But the monarch tasked me to ensure Milady’s safety. Right now I believe its unsafe to continue watching from this distance. I implore you to leave immediately for a safer position.”
“Is this how you’re supposed to speak to your superior?” Yun Ruo Xi’s expression darkened into a menacing glare due to the way she’s being addressed. She’s always been held in high prestige at the Celestial Palace so this attitude insulted her ego. “Know that none in the Dust Frost Domain dares to speak to me in such a manner. You are nothing but a servant to the monarch so watch your tongue.”
Pinning the maid with her glare, Yun Ruo Xi was deliberating on how to punish this servant after she gets back. This vile old witch has never been one to let others go.
“Now… who doesn’t know that I’m the most beloved woman of the monarch?”
The maid looked stiff despite not agreeing. Nevertheless, she bowed her head to avoid further conflict.
