Bang!
This time Keeper Ling didnât waste a single word. Coming right behind the yellow robed elder, he slams down with a palm strike for real, which was met with a countering palm strike as well.
The exchange quickly created a huge invisible storm in the air as their fighting dragged out, sending all of the debris flying in all direction. The most notable would be the surviving trees in the nearby garden. It survived the previous battle when Bai Yan attacked, but the poor greeneries got obliterated into nothingness this time around.
âWhat are you all doing?!â Eventually the huge fighting had attracted the attention of the remaining Keepers.
When they ran over to investigate, all they saw were the huge brawl between the two opposing comrades. Undoubtedly a frown crept into their faces due to this, but more confused by whatâs going on.
Eventually an elder by the name of Keeper Blue stepped in to put a stop to this, âKeeper Ling, why are you attacked Keeper Yellow? Explain yourself right now!â
The grumpy old elder sneered at the question directed his way. As annoyed as he was, he still wouldnât go crazy mad yet and spoke with clear disdain in that voice: âYou still want to ask me that? Me and Keeper Zun only left for a short period and youâre all going for each otherâs throat! Look at this mess! And who is the one that killed Keeper Red, get that person out here to see me now!â
âYou speak nonsense!â Keeper Yellow snapped at the accusation. Pointing his finger like he couldnât believe the ridiculousness of it all, âQuit trying to find excuses! I know its because you donât like me that youâre making up words, thatâs why youâre looking for trouble!â
When did they start fighting among ourselves? Why doesnât he know? On the contrary, itâs Keeper Ling who attacked him first without a word of explanation, itâs clear to the yellow robed elder who was the bad one in this fight!
âBoth of you stop first!â Itâs then Keeper Zun who was still showing an ugly face decides to cut in. Turning to the rest of the group who had just arrived, âTell me the details, what happened during this period while me and Keeper Ling was away? How did Keeper Red die?â
Unlike the grumpy old timer who started the fight, Keeper Zun was clearly the more level headed one among the pair. After hearing bits and pieces, he could already tell something was amiss.
âFrom the day you three left, the Celestial Palace was attacked in multiple locations. First it was the training ground for the elite disciples, then the back mountain where we planted the herbs and such. In order to catch the perpetrators, we and the rest of us here went out in two groups, leaving only Keeper Red behind to watch over the place in case someone snuck in.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
That finally brought some sanity back into Keeper Lingâs face. Slowly putting down his fist, he wanted to believe the story but still appeared skeptical.
âBut we did not expect that?girl
?to return, and she also brought the old coot with her! Iâm not sure if our former brother recovered his strength or not, but according to the pieces of scars and information we have gathered, Keeper Red and the rest of the corpses here were likely killed by those two.â
What?
The explanation was akin to a thunder clap to the ear, sending both Keeper Ling and Zun into a shocked look of dismay.
âYou mean Keeper Red is killed by the crazy old coot?â The grump keeper asks with clenched fists.
How did that old coot regain his former strength?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
âYes, according to Ruo Xiâs words, it is likely the case. Iâm sure I donât need to explain the girlâs personality and character to you, she wouldnât lie. If Keeper Red didnât push the lass away and forced her to flee, I can already see Ruo Xi dying with everyone else that you see here.â
Such a good girl, why does the Celestial Lord not like her?
In comparison, Bai Yan canât even be qualified to lick her shoes. How can two people who grew up together be so vastly different?
