Chapter 1482 - Bai Yan’s Return (6)”

Chapter 1482 “Bai Yan’s Return (6)”

The battle did not last long before the members of the Celestial Palace appeared on the battlefield.

Right away and without surprise, Keeper Ling was full of resentment along his old eyes after accessing the situation. He’s literally grinding his teeth because he’s now realized the deception!

Truth was this old fella had been there for a while, just that due to fear of the woman, he had kept himself hidden in the back and kept watching. Then that’s when the truth hit him after some observation. The strength portrayed by the woman was obviously different from the previous battle. In other words, he’s been tricked by some secret method that could raise a person’s power without any form of defect!

Bai Ning didn’t know nor care about the other side’s thought though. She’s entirely focused on the battle at hand due to how vicious the opponents are. Sure, the woman was a Demi Divine Lord, but fighting several foes at the same level was straining to say the least.

For the rest of the demons defending the city, they aren’t faring so well either. Many have died after the initial clash, with most suffering from some sort of wound by this point. However, the will to fight hasn’t elevated in the least due to the deep hatred they had for the Celestial Realm. It’s their life’s goal to get payback for the humiliation their kind suffered a millennium ago, something that has fully ingrained into their bones from birth.

“Keeper Ling, didn’t you say that Bai Ning is very strong and that we need to be wary of her? From the way I see it, she’s no more than our equal at best.” Speaking here was Keeper Yellow, the one who disliked the grumpy senior the most.

“I was deceived by her, that I admit.” Keeper Ling immediately got all ugly in the face as he huffed a grunt over the remark: “Regardless, it’s a good thing for us knowing she’s not as strong as I believed. Now we won’t have to enact the previous plan and directly attack the city instead. The demon princess will be ours!”

Without further ado, the old senior shot out like a cannonball to begin his own redemption.

Bang!

Due to how unexpected the attack was, plus the fact that it came from her rear, Bai Ning had to struggle hard to swing around in time to force a palm strike of her own. Even so, the recoiling force from the impact of two immense powers were more than enough to send her stumbling backwards due to the loss of balance.

But this effect was nowhere enough to satiate the grumpy Keeper. Not giving the woman a chance to retaliate or to get her head together, he launches into a barrage like a mountain crushing down at an ant. He’s relentless and had no intent to hold back.

“Keeper Yellow, you protect Ruo Xi here, we will join the fight. She won’t last much longer if we don’t get the antidote soon.” Furrowing along the brow, the kind Keeper Zun says before charging into the fray as well. He’s got a bad feeling about all this but couldn’t figure out why.

……

Not long ago, Di Ling Yan and Di Jin Tian were both taken away by First Elder as planned before the final enclosure could be made around the city. And as a safety precaution, the elder also took the crazy old coot with them in order to ensure there’s no possible danger. For that reasoning, Winger did not leave with the group and stayed behind.

The queen is my lifesaver, and Madam Bai Ning is her mother….

Standing beside the gate entrance was the bird man himself. He could’ve fled on his own or tagged along with the part if he insisted, but his consciousness wouldn’t allow that and kept him here in this station. He’s been watching the fighting and had a grim outlook on the way the battle was turning out.

Winger, what are you doing? Are you just going to keep standing here and watch while everyone dies before your very eye?

NO!!

I won’t do this. She may not be here in person, but I must do what I can to protect her family. That’s the least I can do for all the mistakes I’ve done so far!
