Chapter 1455 “Di Ling Yan’s Fury (4)”
The old man’s smile deepens like a tactician winning a battle: “Guess what, Keeper Ling only held back against your king because he needs him to produce a daughter for us. Now that we have one right here, what makes you think he will let that abhorrent demon king live once news gets to his ear?”
Without surprise, First Elder’s expression devolved into an ugly frown. He’s all too aware of what the other fella was implicating by that threat. The power from that strange lightning caused by the sword from earlier still left his heart trembling with fright. It’s overwhelmingly powerful and destructive to the point where even he has to watch out from being struck head on.
Clenching his fist until it’s slightly shaking: “Don’t look down on the king of the Demon Realm! I can say for certain even if all the Keepers from your Celestial Palace gathered here today, it would only end up in a deadlock between both sides.”
“Hahaha!” The old man laughs some more like he’s just heard something hilarious: “That would be the case if you hadn’t touched Lady Ruo Xi. She is the future savior of our world, what qualifications do you animals have in targeting her? That’s why Keeper Ling brought out the ancient sword for this fight, he’s not messing around anymore you see…”
The power of the ancient artifact may be powerful and terrifying, but it’s a consumable item that could only be used once after being fully activated, hence it’s lack of appearance in the battle a thousand years ago.
“Uncle Winger,” Di Ling Yan hurries to tug at her protector’s shoulder after getting all anxious, “I want to go see my father, hurry and take me to my father.”
Great Grandpapa already went to Jin Tian’s side so he will be fine. I must make sure Father is okay!
“Princess…” Winger sounded hesitant despite the plea. Unbeknownst to everyone else, that lightning from earlier was practically the same power that’s been hunting him for all these years.
Imagine hiding for all your life from a nightmare, and now you’re being asked to confront said nightmare, who wouldn’t be scared? Nevertheless, once he took another look at the baby girl in his arms and that tearful face, the bird man just couldn’t refuse.
Nodding his head with a firm light: “Okay, I’ll take you to him.”
Even if I have to risk my life at being discovered, I must go. I owe it to the queen. I can’t repay the debt to her now, that leaves her daughter the princess….
……
Back over in the Holy Dragon Mountain.
Bai Yan has been continuing to trek through the thick shrubberies when her temple ached with a throbbing pain, causing the woman to stare up into the sky with a frown.
“Mother, is something wrong?” Noticing the oddity, Bai Xiachen quickly asks with his curious face.
Gripping her chest like something’s wrong, “Xiachen, we need to hurry and find a way out. I fear something might’ve happened back home….”
How can this be? Di Cang is watching over the Demon City, there’s no way something can happen while he’s there. Am I overthinking this?
“Yan Yan, look…” Mo Li Shang the young man suddenly calls out from the front, his voice sounding surprised by what he’s pointing at.
Looking over as instructed, Bai Yan too was surprised by the scene. It’s a huge lake of icy blue color which reflected the sky like a crystal mirror.
“Dragon Spirit Lake.” Moli the winged piggy promptly jumped out of his master’s arm and started to flap his wings excitedly, “Hurry Queen Mother, we need to put Dragony into the lake. The lake water will help her wake up.”
Despite her own woes about a strange lake that seems to appear out of nowhere, Bai Yan wasn’t going to doubt the little fella’s decision. From the very beginning, this piggy has done nothing but look out for her goddaughter with no indication of that everchanging.
