Chapter 1331 “The Pretentious Yun Ruo Xi (5)”
“Where’s the demon king? Why didn’t he come out to greet us when he’s the one who invited us?” Keeper Hyun coldly snaps at the demon guards below himself, that face a distrustful frown.
Just like his peer, the grumpy Keeper Ling was also very gloomy in the face, while Keeper Zun who was the nicest of the bunch merely looked equally as dull but with an unhappy look.
Squeak!
Eventually the gates were pushed open and out came a long-bearded old elder. This individual was very well dressed with that pristinely white robe, but his smile was so fake and obvious that it made him look very strange. “Members of the Celestial Palace, it’s been a millennium since we last met, how are you all doing?”
“It’s you?” Keeper Ling’s expression promptly changed to viciousness: “You’re still alive?”
“Haha,” First Elder returns with a cold snarl of his own, “If you didn’t die yet then how can I die first? Back then you pushed the Demon Realm to such a state and still have the nerve to come knocking at our door?”
Going green in the face due to how livid he felt inside, Keeper Ling wanted to snap out in rage when his partner Keeper Hyun cuts him off first: “First of all, this area belongs to the Celestial Realm, we are not knocking at your door. We left you alone because of the Celestial Lord’s request and relations.h.i.+p with your queen, that’s why you’re able to survive this long.”
The meaning behind those words were simple, they allowed the Demon Realm to live because of Chu Yi G.o.d’s request and not a threat to them. That way they could not only appear merciful and kind, but also to save their own face.
“Secondly…. you demons are our enemy to begin with so why can’t we come knocking at your door? Moreover, you should go ask your so-called demon queen on why she’s keeping such an unclear relations.h.i.+p with the Celestial Lord. We are only here to capture her, a traitor of the Celestial Palace.”
Unable to hold back his laughter, First Elder almost wanted to point out the idiocy of that statement: “Our queen only has a childhood friends.h.i.+p with him, what claim do you have on the subject? And don’t forget, he abandoned Her Highness first, then its you b.a.s.t.a.r.ds who tried to kill her! How did the queen betray you people, how?”
“Hmph!” Huffing a grunt, Keeper Ling cuts in again: “She will always be a member of the Celestial Palace, whether it be in death or life! She was adopted by us as a child, that makes her ours by claim! What qualification does she have for turning her backs on the Celestial Palace?”
In other words, they are rightfully just in murdering Bai Yan if they deem fit, even if they are the one who betrayed her to begin with.
Turning ugly in the face, First Elder always knew these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds are shameless, but he didn’t know they would remain just as shameless and even worse than a millennium ago!
“Keeper Hyun, Keeper Ling, let’s stop wasting time on irrelevant words,” The third senior Keeper Zun finally speaks up, his brow fixing up into a knot, “Where is the demon king now? We came at his invitation and have some important matters to discuss with him. We will not enter that city of yours, its too heavy with the scent of you demons and it is making us disgusted.”
As soon as his words were finished there, a powerful and strong gush of wind surged out from within the gates. In an instant, the brilliant figure of Di Cang had arrived for all to see. His silvery hair fluttering against the wind, his purple robe daunting as ever, and his sharp overbearing eyes just as strong like in the past.
