Chapter 506 - 506 Family, Enemy

506 Family, Enemy

Shuang Yun’s injuries had healed.

However, the new commander of the demons had already taken over. Shuang Yun had missed the best opportunity to launch a surprise attack, which made him extremely frustrated.

Shuang Yun had become much more obedient recently. It seemed that he would not do anything for the time being. He thought that there was no point in continuing to waste time here. He might as well return to Rock City first. There were still a lot of things he had to deal with in the city.

Also, for some reason, Xue Ling said that he was going after Yu Tian, but he did not return.

Shuang Yun went to patrol the surroundings of the camp as usual today. On the way, he encountered an uninvited guest.

Seeing Sang Ye standing not far away, all the beast soldiers present immediately became fully vigilant and stared at Sang Ye warily.

Shuang Yun did not seem to notice the tension between the two sides and smiled casually. “Lord Sang Ye, why are you here for a walk today?”

Sang Ye still looked cold. His long black hair reached his waist, and his eyes were deep. “I’m here for you.”

Shuang Yun sneered. “Why are you looking for me? To take revenge?”

They were once as close as brothers.

However, Shuang Yun killed Sang Ye’s uncle.

As the commander of the demons, Sang Ye’s hands were covered in the blood of beast soldiers.

They had become enemies.

There was a distance of more than 10 meters between the two of them. This seemingly short distance separated them, just like their current relationship.

Sang Ye said, “I’ve found Huanhuan’s body.”

Hearing Huanhuan’s name, Shuang Yun’s expression finally changed slightly.

“Where is she?”

Sang Ye said, “I want to talk to you alone.”

Shuang Yun hesitated for a moment before choosing to believe Sang Ye.

Jiu Yuan lowered his voice. “Your Majesty, he’s our enemy now. You can’t believe what he says.”

“I know what I’m doing.”

Shuang Yun and Sang Ye left everyone’s sight and walked into the forest. There was no one here except for a few birds chirping in the distance.

Shuang Yun stood still and sized Sang Ye up. He realized that his strength had increased greatly, even surpassing his uncle, Han Ying.

No wonder he barged into the beast camp alone. He was probably confident in his strength and was not afraid of enemies.

Shuang Yun asked, “Where’s Huanhuan’s body?”

“Xing Chen has her.”

“Xing Chen…” Shuang Yun chewed the name twice. “Who is he?”

“Father of the demons.”

Shuang Yun frowned. “He’s a god? There’s actually a living god in this world?”

“I can’t be sure if he’s a god or not. All I know is that he’s very strong. I’m no match for him now. The chances of getting Huanhuan’s body back by force are very low, so I need your help.”

“What do you need me to do?”

Sang Ye’s gaze landed on him with the coldness unique to cold-blooded animals. “I want to borrow your life.”

…

Xue Ling finally woke up.

He rubbed his temples for a long time before coming back to his senses. He gradually remembered what had happened before he fell asleep…

The prophet had called him and Bai Di over. He said he had something important to tell them.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they saw the prophet, he took off the shark silk veil and revealed his eyes.

The eyes of a prophet could not only see the future but also see through one’s heart and confuse one’s mind.

When Xue Ling and Bai Di saw his eyes, they fell asleep involuntarily.

Thinking of this, Xue Ling couldn’t help but curse. Damn it, he had fallen into the prophet’s trap!

He nudged Bai Di, who was still unconscious beside him.

Bai Di opened his eyes, looking confused. He clearly hadn’t realized where he was.

“We were plotted against by the prophet.” Xue Ling stood up. “That guy made the two of us unconscious. He must be trying to attack Huanhuan. We have to settle the score with him.”

Hearing Huanhuan’s name, Bai Di quickly regained his senses.

He and Xue Ling left the secret chamber to settle scores with the prophet.

The temple was very deserted. Other than them, there was no one else.

When they found the prophet, they saw him sitting alone at the door. His back was against the distant mountains, making him look even colder and lonelier.

Above his head hung a string of wind chimes made of shells.

A breeze blew, and the wind chimes rang.

The prophet did not look back, but he already knew that Xue Ling and Bai Di were here. He said calmly, “You’re awake.”

Xue Ling strode over and grabbed the prophet’s collar. He raised his fist, wanting to beat him up.

But when he saw the prophet’s eyes covered by the shark silk veil, he couldn’t punch him.

But he felt indignant about letting the prophet go.

Bai Di walked over and patted Xue Ling’s shoulder. “Calm down.”

Xue Ling let go of the prophet and gritted his teeth. “I won’t lower myself to your level!”

“Thank you.” The prophet didn’t care about being mocked as a disabled person. He held the small ball made from animal bones in one hand and adjusted his torn collar with the other.

Xue Ling questioned, “Why did you knock us out? Where’s Huanhuan? What did you do to her?”

Bai Di stared at the prophet, waiting for his answer.

The prophet said, “I sent her to the demons.”

Bai Di pressed, “Why did you send her to the demons?”

“Xing Chen has her body. If she wants to return to her original form, she has to go to the demon race.”

Xue Ling said angrily, “If you let her look for that lunatic Xing Chen alone, she’ll be in danger! What will happen then?!”

“I’ll protect her.”

Xue Ling didn’t believe him. “How can you protect her when you’re here? Can you teleport?!”

The prophet did not answer his question directly. “I have my own plans,” he said indifferently. “I won’t let her die.”

Bai Di frowned. “Who are you to make us believe you?”

“With my eyes, I can see a future you can’t.”

Hearing this, Xue Ling’s anger subsided a little. “You mean Huanhuan’s future is safe?”

The prophet said nothing. His fingertips gently stroked the small ball made from animal bones.

Xue Ling took his silence as acquiescence.

“We’ll believe you again this time. If you lie to me, I’ll tear down your 10,000 Beasts Temple!”

With that, Xue Ling turned to leave.

Bai Di asked him where he was going.

Without looking back, Xue Ling said, “I’ll go look for Huanhuan.”

Bai Di said goodbye to the prophet and quickly followed.

The prophet remained where he was and watched them leave. He was as cold as a statue.

The shell wind chimes tinkled above his head.

Bai Di quickly followed Xue Ling. “How can you believe that the prophet can guarantee Huanhuan’s safety?”

Xue Ling said, “The prophet is called that because his eyes can see the future. Since he can see that Huanhuan’s future is safe, Huanhuan must be safe.”

Bai Di seemed to understand. “I see.”
