âWe canât care about it so much anymore. This is not a thunderstorm, itâs the calamity itself. If we donât find a way to stop it then it will just be a matter of time before the entire Celestial Realm becomes destroyed.â Sinking in the face until itâs a dark shade, Keeper Zun struggles but manages to get himself upright to face Bai Yan, âDemon Queen, hand over the amulet.â
âWhat amulet?â
âDonât pretend anymore, Ruo Xi have already told me everything. You had your subordinate steal it from her and wants to become the amuletâs owner. Iâm telling you now, that powerful individual said there can only be one owner and that only Ruo Xi can activate it! Even if you have the amulet, itâs useless to you!âThis was one of the main reasons they endured the old witchâs incompetence for all these years. In these old Keepers mindset, aside from Yun Ruo Xi, no one else could activate it.
âThe amulet is not with me.â Dropping this answer, Bai Yan turns away to confront the thundercloud like she heard something stupid.
Getting uglier in his old face, Keeper Zun doesnât give up: âDemon Queen, unless you hand over the amulet then no one can live through the calamity. We wonât demand the hand over of your daughter anymore, all we ask is you return what you stole so we can all live.â
âThe amulet is here with me.â Just then, an old voice came from the direction of the cityâs gate, which caught Bai Yanâs attention right away due to its familiarity.
âDonât worry Mistress, I have given the pendant to the king as you instructed. I am back because of your amulet now.â That said, Dragon Flame promptly raised his hand to reveal the crescent shaped object.
Keeper Zun recognized the amulet of course and flew into a joyous outcry: âThatâs it, thatâs the amulet! Return it at once and our Celestial Palace will not blame you for stealing it!â
âHaha!â The old goat merely laughed at the demand: âDo you think things will be settled just because you say so? This is my mistressâs property to begin with. Since that Yun Ruo Xi kept it for so many years, our Demon Realm will naturally want some interest back for the loan.â
Without hesitation, the old goat threw the object in his hand out for Bai Yan to catch.
Bai Yan felt it the first second she held All Heavenâs in her palm. Itâs regenerating her wounds at an incredible speed and refreshing her soul.
âAll Heaven...â She murmurs with emotional attachment, âYouâre finally back...â
âQuit pretending Bai Yan,â Keeper Zun lashes out. Heâs annoyed thinking itâs a pretentious act, âYou only found out its name through Ruo Xiâs mouth. We wonât be fooled! We all know youâre the scourge of the Celestial Realm! The prophecy foretold your undoing so you can stop the act!â
In these old foolsâ mind, Bai Yan was the scourge that would bring destruction to all while Yun Ruo Xi was the savior and would save them all. Thatâs why they would do what they did back then, murder Bai Yan and her unborn child.
