âMiss Yun is an amazing girl with prestigious background. Furthermore, the prophecy already foretold of her extraordinary future: she will one day stand at the pinnacle of this world. Only such a woman is worthy of being by the Celestial Lordâs side, unfortunatelyâ¦.â Another keeper laments the fact and shakes his head as well.
Unfortunately, the Lord doesnât have her in the heartâ¦.
âAs I said, we shouldnât have killed that lass back then, abolishing her strength wouldâve been enough. That way we can give her to the Lord as a concubine, that way he would willingly marry Miss Yun with peace in mind.â Another offers his opinion.
Men having multiple wives in this world is nothing new, yet these old guys here demanded we kill that girl. Now we canât even get his lordship to return after a thousand years.
âNo, such a scourge is better off dead. I remember I destroyed her soul so thereâs not a chance for reincarnation. Only that way will we be able to live in peace.â Keeper Ling sounded cruel and ruthless when recalling back to the past, refusing to accept that he made a mistake.
They canât blame me. For the sake of this world, sacrificing that girl is a must. Even if she is someone weâve watched growing up, but compared to the survival of the Celestial Realm, nothing is more important!
âKeepers!â A rush of footstep suddenly came running through the door. Kneeling with one knee, the reporting guard spoke in a hurry: âThe seal to the Demon Realm has been destroyed. Iâve gotten word from my subordinates that the demons are beginning to move and has the sign of attacking us!â
âWhat?!â With a bang after slamming the table, Keeper Ling promptly rose from the chair, âHow did we not get the news earlier if the seal is broken?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Tapping the table with a finger, another keeper wearing a green robe spoke: âI suspect the reasoning is because of the Celestial Lord. He likely subdued the shockwave created by the sealâs destruction and hid the fact from us.â
Celestial Lord?
All of the Keepers were stunned by the notion.
They didnât understand why their lord and master would do such a thing, especially when both realms are destined enemies.
âShouldnât we begin to make preparations as well if those demons are moving?â The ashen robed elder suggests with a dark frowning face.
The guard gulps hard after hearing that suggestion: âKeeper Zun, I also got a direct message from his lordship after getting news from my subordinatesâ¦.â Pausing for a second like heâs hesitant to speak, âHe said, the Celestial Palace is not to be involvedâ¦. If we do, he will never return againâ¦.â
As shocked as their hearts were, these elders that controlled the direction of this Celestial Realm were just as much angered by the command. The main reasoning would of course be over the illogical order, the other regarding the dilemma of why Chu Yi God would act this way. After all, it was Di Cang who stole the girl away from him back then. If anything, they should be attacking with everything and not holding back.
âSay, do any of you think that lass is still alive?â Keeper Zun (ashen robe) suddenly came down with this idea and throws out this sentence.
Keeper Ling promptly shakes his head in response: âImpossible, Iâve personally shattered her soul and saw it disperse into the wind. Even if that demon king is powerful and far above ourselves back then, he still wouldnât be able to reunite her soul!â
Naturally these Keepers wouldnât know about the price Di Cang made in order to resurrect Bai Yan and place her soul back into the cycle of life. Thatâs a secret he made sure to keep!
Meanwhile outside the room, Yun Ruo Xi had been ease dropping on their conversation despite giving off the impression she had left earlier. After hearing what they said, her hands instinctively began to clench tightly from⦠whatâs the word? Frustration? Or was it jealous? Maybe its hatred⦠yes, hatred would be more like it.
âSheâs not dead yet?â she mutters in denial.
How is it possible? That sort of injury shouldâve removed her from this world entirely! Thereâs no way, just no wayâ¦.. This wonât do, I must go investigate this in person. I must find out if its related to her before itâs too late!
