Even up to this point after all that has transpired, Yun Ruo Xi still firmly believes sheâs not at fault and that itâs others who had wronged her.
Without exception, the expressions of these old timers were all very angry yet sad at the same time towards the rebuttal.
âYun Ruo Xi, even now do you not understand the crime youâve committed? Do you not see the price of your deceit?! If your deception had not harmed the world, would we have given up on you?â Keeper Zun couldnât suppress the urge and lashed out despite his usual kind nature, âFor you, we not only torched Bai Yan at the altar, we also murdered those around her and the unborn child in her belly... We did all that because of your scheme, your lie!â
Words canât even be used to describe the heinousness of her act, yet she still got the nerve to say weâre the ones at fault?
âIâm not wrong! The fault has never been with me, itâs all you peoples!â Showing madness in those erratic eyes, the old witch suddenly snatched the veil covering her own face and removed it, thus revealing the scarred features underneath. âDo you see this? This is all done by those demons! What Bai Yan owes me can never be repaid, and I will make sure she and her kind suffer indefinitely for the damage she instilled upon me!â
âIgnorance!â Keeper Zun shakes his head in disappointment, unable to comprehend how someone could twist logic to such a state.
âEnough! Iâm not here to discuss the fault of you fools, Iâm here to make a deal.â Somehow regaining the sanity back into her voice, Yun Ruo Xiâs tone suddenly got extremely cold and menacing, âI can help you deal with those from the Demon Realm... however, you must submit to me and become my slaves!â
âOutrageous!â Keeper Ling lashes out in volcanic proportion since his temper was the worst among his peers.
For thousands of years, the rulers of the Celestial Palace have never submitted themselves to others, let alone to a traitor or a demon. The very idea was a slap in their face, a direct insult to their dignity.
âYun Ruo Xi, we will never join you, now scram!â Keeper Zun also shouts this out after having his last line crossed.
He knows they arenât able to move against this woman anymore, but that doesnât mean he or his fellow Keepers wanted to meet her again.
âYou donât want to kill the demons?â The witch slowly marched forward in an almost threatening manner, âDonât forget what the Demon Realm would do if they catch any of you. Without the Celestial Lordâs help, no one can oppose Di Cang the Demon King. Now Iâm offering you all a way out, a way to live.... also a way to exact revenge for a little price.â
That does it, Keeper Ling whoâs been suppressing his urge to attack finally lost it and rushed at the witch with all his might. Instantly, he punches down at her shoulder and sent the woman flying, causing a mouthful of blood to spew forward as the consequence.
âGet out of here!â Keeper Ling exhales deeply to gather his wits to withhold a second strike, âDonât let me see you again, otherwise I wonât be so merciful.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
This woman cheated me the worst, how dare she demand us to become her slave? DREAM ON!!
