The first elder was the first to take the lead in kneeling down at the dragoness to show his respect.
âHail the Chief!â
âHail the Chief!â
âHail the Chief!â
The rest of the clan members quickly did the same after seeing their defacto leader surrendering.
Standing there with her hands behind the back, Tsing Yi remains emotionless under the glistening light of the sunâs ray breaking through the waterâs surface: âRise all of you. First, I want Xiang Luo and his wife detained inside a secure dungeon. Afterwards, go locate every single individual who was close to them over the years while I was gone, I want to know who they are and what theyâve done with the two.â
Everyoneâs heart shuddered at this order. They all understand that this was a the signaling of a clean sweep. The woman intends to clear out the corrupt factors within the clan.
âChief, let me handle this matter, itâs time we cleaned out the corrupt variables within the clan.â Bellowing out a hearty laugh, the first elder volunteers himself for the job.
âMmm,â affirming the idea with that sound. âI have another news to announce as well. After this matter is over the clan here will merge into the one over in the Demon Realm. Now that the seal is broken, all demons are one so there is no longer a need for two dragon clans. Also, I am not your chief.â
The first elder didnât take the last bit so well. Showing dismay: âBut where are you going?â
âIâ¦â curving her lips into a smile at the thought of her own future, âI of course am going to follow the one I swore loyalty to for the rest of my lifeâ¦.â
After Iâm done dealing with Longyu and her husband, anything else that happens with the clan is no longer my concern. I only have one identity thereafter: Bai Yanâs familiar beast!
â¦â¦
Demon Realm.
A woman wearing a flaming red dress was currently frowning at the bunch of people in front of herself: âGo back all of you, I cannot leave this sacred mountain.â
âBut Lady Suzaku,â Fourth Elder smiles wryly, âFirst Elder left with State Teacher to some unknown place, and most of the palace guards are away with the princess. Now thereâs only Tiger Chief Huang Che Mu and the other remaining elders to stand in defense of the palace. If things continue like this then that wild lass from who knows where really will topple us demons.â
If either one of those two were to remain behind then none of these demons here would be afraid and be stuck in a passive state. Sadly, thatâs not the case and now thereâs no one left who could contend with the powerful people thatâs currently causing havoc across the Demon Realm.
âThat woman is from the Celestial Realm?â Suzaku (phoenix) turned heavy in the face as anger brewed inside those eyes.
If not for those from the Celestial realm then King and Queen wouldnât be separated for so many years, nor would us the four sacred beasts be separated by life and death!
The vendetta has long been made between this phoenix and those celestials, unfortunately for her, sheâs unable to leave this demon mountain to exact revenge.
âThey⦠they should be from the Celestial Realm. Now that the seal is broken, anyone is able to freely leave and come as they please to our domain. Since the human world wouldnât have this many powerful individuals that could rival our own, I believe they are.â The fourth elder answers with a sigh after some contemplation. âThankfully I sent away some of the most talented members from the various clans prior to this incident, otherwise they will die in vain at this rate.â
In the fourth elderâs mind, his opinion was that if they couldnât beat the enemy then the next best option would be to reduce the losses until their king returns to save them.
Gleaming a cold light in her eyes, Suzaku eventually loosens her tightly knit brow: âDonât worry. Although I canât leave this mountain, that doesnât mean Iâm unable to fight. Lure those people here and I will deal with them personallyâ¦.â
