Thousands of years ago, Heavenly sealed the channels licking the domains using his own power. Itâs just that.... Tried as he may might, the man lacked the necessary strength to completely cut off the link in its entirety. Therefore, it has now setup this twisted arrangement where the strong and mighty monarchs could not travel while their weaker subordinates could at will aside from entering the main world.
âNow we only want to know one thing: Heavenly Flame, is he alive?â The most senior foe stares down at the defenders, his voice arrogant and brazen.
JI Skyâs eyes grew heavy: âOur monarch is of course alive. If thatâs the reason you and the rest is here then thatâs enough, you can leave now. The Heavenly Domain does not welcome the likes of you here.â
âHahaha!â The senior bursts out laughing. âJi Sky, you think we will believe that? I cannot sense an ounce of Heavenly Flameâs energy signature. Since you wonât tell the truth then donât blame us for being impolite!â
His eyes gradually filled up with killing intent as he raised a hand to give the signal.
âKill them!â
The order given, the battle has begun as the thunder roared and the howling cry for blood rained down at the defenders.
Ji Skyâs strength was indeed very strong to the point where his name reigns supreme even among the other factionâs followers. However, that doesnât mean heâs unbeatable.
With no time to think, Elder Sky promptly drew his sword to meet the oncoming attackers with his fellow defenders.
âDo not fear, our liege may not be at the manor right now but heâs going to return sooner or later. Until then, we must defend the estate!â
Unlike other powers, those living in the Monarch Manor are relatively united. And if they arenât, well those people had long perished during the previous invasion by the other domains, thatâs why the elder council sought Heavenlyâs return. They needed a powerful anchor for the fresh and surviving blood.
......
Unaware to most defenders, thereâs a particular woman hiding behind the masses of black dots which comprised of the invaders.
âMiss Yun, this location is unsafe, we should go back....â A maid accompanying the masked female spoke with crisp clear voice.
Yun Ruo Xi (old witch) coldly huffs a grunt at the nosy service maid: âQuit annoying me. It was not easy for me to get permission from the monarch to watch this battle. Itâs fine as long as Iâm not back at the Celestial Realm or Demon Realm.â
Still hesitant, the maid didnât sound so sure: âBut the monarch tasked me to ensure Miladyâs safety. Right now I believe its unsafe to continue watching from this distance. I implore you to leave immediately for a safer position.â
âIs this how youâre supposed to speak to your superior?â Yun Ruo Xiâs expression darkened into a menacing glare due to the way sheâs being addressed. Sheâs always been held in high prestige at the Celestial Palace so this attitude insulted her ego. âKnow that none in the Dust Frost Domain dares to speak to me in such a manner. You are nothing but a servant to the monarch so watch your tongue.â
Pinning the maid with her glare, Yun Ruo Xi was deliberating on how to punish this servant after she gets back. This vile old witch has never been one to let others go.
âNow... who doesnât know that Iâm the most beloved woman of the monarch?â
The maid looked stiff despite not agreeing. Nevertheless, she bowed her head to avoid further conflict.
