Roughly sweeping her sleeve to dismiss these hostages, Bai Yan turns back to First Elder who’s standing in the rear: “First Elder, we will stay and rest somewhere in the vicinity for the time being. I like to see how long those people can endure before they lose patience!”
Even if she needs to force them, she would shove them out of hiding!
“As you wish,” the elder nodded, “I will go arrange everything. Should I go inform the king then?”
“Mmm, go ahead and message Di Cang. I won’t be returning to the Demon Realm for the time being, I want to wait for them to fall into the net I set.”
It’s fact that Bai Yan doesn’t remember all the details of what transpired in her previous life, but that doesn’t mean she couldn’t imagine the level of carnage and death caused by these people standing at the peak of the Celestial Realm. It must’ve been a bloodbath for those demons left behind in this place.
So what if they did it for the sake of the humans here? It doesn’t absolve anything!
“Mother…” Bai Xiachen tightly grasped onto the woman’s hand, his lip forming a thin line, “When are we going to pick up Ling Yan and Jin Tian? I miss them….”
“Uuhh, how about this Xiachen, we can go pick up your siblings with Dragony right now since there’s some free time. First Elder, I’m leaving you in charge while I’m not around.”
“Yes, Queen.” The elder respectfully arches his fist in compliance.
“Let’s go.” Holding her son and daughter’s hand, Bai Yan disappears into the far-off distance using her newfound powers.
At the same time, First Elder also whisks his sleeve to leave, leaving only the defenders who are all nervously kneeling there in wait. Their backs had already been drenched in sweat, only now do they gasp in relief at being spared.
Those plagues are finally gone, but what are we going to do if the Keepers don’t return in half a month?
“We shouldn’t have attacked those demons before if we had known the Demon Realm would recover this quickly.” One of the defender comments after regaining his nerve.
“What are you spouting? If it wasn’t for the Celestial Lord stopping us from attacking the Demon Realm back then, we would’ve destroyed the demons as a whole. The reason we are in this state is because of the Lord to begin with….” A younger man who had a bit more gal objected, his face showing indignation at being forced to beg.
Humanity is stronger than those monsters, why should we be humble to an inferior race?
But that thought didn’t last very long for the poor guy. In the next second after an older defender jabbed him in the waist, his eyes gawked and he started to stutter: “Cel-Celestial Lord….”
Why did the Celestial Lord suddenly return?
Standing at the front entrance was none other than Chu Yi God. Like always, he’s glisteningly pure with his long white hair fluttering in the wind, matched that with his emotionless temperament, he’s the embodiment of a snowy blizzard.
“I’ve only been away for a while yet you bunch dare to spread rumors?” The blizzardly man casts a glance at the young defender who’s openly shuddering at the added attention.
