Chapter 1288 “One Year Later (2)”

“Unless…” But before Keeper Zun could finish his sentence, the always cold and hardliner Keeper Ling had already cut him off with a grunt.

“Unless we turn to Di Cang’s future daughter that is. Drain his daughter’s blood and then bath in it for forty-nine days. Afterwards you need to eat her carcass, only then will your body recover and grow incredibly strong, thus paving the way for your limitless growth.”

That actually shocked Yun Ruo Xi because she didn’t even think in that direction. Then again, she didn’t mind doing that, just that where was she supposed to get a demon king’s daughter when there wasn’t one around?

Bowing her head to avoid eye contact: “Revered Keepers, isn’t this too… much?”

Keeper Zun sighed as well, believing the lady was being too kind instead of only finding the task difficult to do. “We don’t have any other choice here either. Although we detest the Demon Realm and its kind, but slaughtering a newborn fox is still a sinful act, we know that. However, we’re on our last legs at this point.”

Snorting again at his fellow brethren, Keeper Ling didn’t agree with the indecisive and kind words being thrown around.

Demons only, nothing but inferior creatures in this world! Compared to Ruo Xi who will one day rule the Celestial Realm along with the Lord, how can some lowly fox compare with her future?

“What’s going on Keeper Ling? Is there something I don’t know?” She didn’t miss the behavior of the elder and caught on it like a cat chasing a mouse.

It’s widely known that Keeper Ling could be cold and ruthless when needed, but that’s only when its necessary. Normally this elder would always be kind to those around him. If he’s this urgent and willing to go this far and insult the other Keepers, it must be something extraordinarily huge!

“It’s that prophecy. The prophet from back then predicated a great calamity will befall this world in the coming future, only by finding the person with the crescent moon amulet will we be saved. Since you are that person carrying the moon amulet around your neck, we must ensure your recovery. Only then can we maintain the peace of the Celestial Realm.” Keeper Zun explains with a bittersweet smile.

Going stiff as a rock, Yun Ruo Xi quivered inside: “What calamity? You mean… how come I never knew of that?”

No one knows better than herself on how she got her hands on this amulet. The issue now was what’s this calamity they are talking about. She’s never heard of such thing before! And what if they find out she’s a fake and not the real deal?

Believing the lady’s just nervous at the sudden news and not because she’s afraid of being exposed, Keeper Zun softens up his voice in order to help relieve that stress. “You don’t need to worry too much on this Ruo Xi. That prophet is the strongest individual I have ever seen in my lifetime, there’s no mistake in what he says. Though he did leave right after giving us that prophecy, there’s no reason to doubt his words!”

That’s right, if not for that reasoning, these Keepers wouldn’t have doted on this imposter for so long, nor would they try to force Chu Yi God to marry this woman. Unfortunately for them though, that perennially expressionless man had long overtaken them all in terms of strength, forcing these Keepers on the defensive regarding that matter and losing control of the Celestial Palace.

Now despite the kind words of Keeper Zun, it only made the matter worse for Yun Ruo Xi. She’s absolutely dreading what’s coming in the future and could be seen by the visible drain of blood from that face.

“Then when is the calamity’s arrival?” she forces this question out there with her quivering voice.

“We don’t know the exact time either, only that we can feel when it’s drawing close.” Shaking his old head, Keeper Zun who was among one of the kindest here also turns stern. “Everyone, I like to say something.” Gathering the attention of all, “We have been at war with the Demon Realm for ages at this point and even sealed them away for a period. However, the calamity that we all know is coming will destroy us all, the demons included. There’s no good outcome if we continued this fight. So, I like to make a suggestion. If Di Cang is willing to produce a young female foxling for Ruo Xi to use, then I say we make peace with their kind to deal with the impending crisis. Is everyone with me on this?”

Once again, Keeper Ling interrupts with sneer: “And if Di Cang isn’t willing to surrender his daughter? What then? We all know what that demon can do. For a single woman, he wouldn’t hesitate to charge into an army back then and wage war against us for years!”
