Just then right as First Elder was about to fall into a panic, a new entry has arrived. The aura felt familiar so the elder immediately turned to the source. In an instant, he could see that beautiful face reflecting in his eyes.
âBaddie Father!â Bai Xiachen cries out first, his eyes glowing with excitement at the sight of home.
Truth be told, First Elder didnât feel at ease when Bai Yan took the prince away from the city before. Heâs afraid they would encounter some sort of danger outside, but now that theyâre back and safe, heâs truly relieved.
Itâs just thatâ¦â¦
Why hasnât the prince changed at all since two years ago? Heâs not taller or grown more mature, whatâs going on here? Heâs no different from a six years oldâ¦.
Itâs a given that First Elder wouldnât understand why, after all, when Bai Xiachen was asleep, heâs akin to being sealed away inside his body and that stumped his growth.
Stepping back from the fighting, Di Cang turns to his family thatâs on the other side of the sky: âYanâer, welcome back.â
Though smiling on the face, Bai Yanâs tone was serious when replying: âDi Cang, these areâ¦â
Naturally as the husband the man wouldnât miss his wifeâs intent because this shouldnât come as a surprise.
âThey are from the Celestial Palace.â He plays along without any delay.
âCelestial palace?â Appearing surprised on the face, Bai Yanâs voice grew hesitant: âWhen I was coming back I happened to pass by that place⦠it looks like they are fighting each other.â
What?
Keeper Ling and his peers were all shocked by the remark, causing their attacking self to stop with ugliness showing across their faces.
âThose idiots!â The grumpy Keeper yells this out.
Weâve only left for a few days and theyâre infighting?
They never doubted Bai Yanâs claim because aside from Di Cang, they couldnât think of anyone else who could raise up such a fuss. Therefore, aside from infighting, what else could it be?
âWeâre leaving!â
Bai Yanâs dark smile only grew deeper at that: âOh yes, when I was passing by, I also noticed a dead Keeper there. If I remember correctly, they were calling her Keeper Red or something. I estimate it wonât be long before several more Keepers fall at this rate.â
Now the three seniors from the Celestial Palace could no longer stand still. Theyâre white in the face instead of just shock.
In this day and age, finding someone capable of braking into the Demi Divine Lord level has become next to impossible, the last one was already several hundred years ago. That meant if even one of them dies, there wonât be another to replace that individual.
Sharing a glance with each other, the three of them didnât think much and wanted to leave this instant. Unfortunatelyâ¦.
âYou think you can come as you please and leave as you please?â Di Cangâs cold frosty voice cuts in again.
Darkening in his face, Keeper Ling snaps back: âThen what do you want?â
âLike I said, leave an arm or a leg first, then the three of you can leave!â That said, the demon kingâs figure was gone in a blink of an eye, reappearing right behind the three seniors to block off their path.
