Chapter 2012: The Man Inside the Cave (2)


After these words fell, Suzaku took one last look at the gathered people and headed straight for her abode up at the peak.


……


Inside the lightless cave, the man who caused most of this problem raised his head slightly and burst into a brilliant grin. He's the only life here, but with those chains restraining him, the guy might as well have been dead.


"Divine Water Stone?" Suddenly, a sneer came from the man's mouth as an eerie glow flickered within those eyes.


"It seems that the little girl's parents are indeed extraordinary. Even the divine water stone has been found by them…" He clicked his tongue and grew devilishly sexier by the second, "But no matter, it will be interesting to know how that girl will grow up into. Maybe my escape from this place will be entirely on her…"


……


Time flowed quickly like the water in a river stream.


Since the day Di Cang and Bai Yan left their home, two years had transpired with the world mostly at peace. Aside from the occasional attacks pointed to the Celestial Realm by some strange force, there's not much to note.


"If only there was never a Yun Ruo Xi to begin with…" One of the Keepers groaned and uttered these words.


Since the day when the truth came forward, Chu Yi God had disappeared for good from the eyes of the public, and since the strongest Keepers were dead as well, no one could fight against the attackers.


Keeper Yellow appears lost and dejected before speaking, "Actually, this is not entirely to blame on that woman. We were also too stupid, getting deceived repeatedly by such obvious lies. If not for that, our Lord wouldn't have left us, and the Celestial Realm wouldn't be in this crisis."


Over the years since the battle outside the city with Bai Yan, the surviving Keepers had filtered through the past events in their heads and soon realized how many times they omitted the obvious signs.


Even though Yun Ruo Xi had ill intentions and lied, what would it matter if they themselves didn't believe her? In the end, half the fault lies with themselves who brought about this tragedy.


"There were prophecies back then about the Celestial Realm being overthrown, and now it seems the culprit is starting to show itself from the shadows, but who could be responsible for this calamity?" The gray-robed Keeper slowly closed his eyes in frustration, that fist trembling due to their own inability.


Did the Celestial Palace really do wrong?


No, we're not wrong!


We've done everything for the sake of the world, kept the peace in order, how can we be wrong?


If there's one to be at fault, it would be Yun Ruo Xi for her deception. She not only deceived us, she also gave Bai Yan those painful wounds.


Just as Keeper Yellow was about to say something, a faint chuckle came from the front and caused them to stiffen up. It's a familiar voice whom they all recognized.


Sure enough, a woman gradually materialized into existence from above.
