Chapter 1608 “Madness (1)”

Celestial Realm.

While a constant threat looms about under this vast starry sky, those inside the Celestial Palace are currently pacing back and forth in unease, their eyes filled anxiety from the deeps down.

“Is the Lord really not coming back?” keeper Zun asks with a troubled face.

None of these Keepers thought Yun Ruo Xi would lie to them, therefore no alternative plans were made, thus sealing their fate less something drastic occurs.

“How can the Lord forgive us when we made so many mistakes?” Keeper Yellow tursely retorted, “The calamity is quickly upon us, yet we of the Celestial Palace have no means to defend ourselves anymore. The Lord won’t fight, and now Keeper Ling also destroyed the only tool we could’ve used when the time came!’

For a moment, all eyes were fixed upon the grumpy Keeper mentioned here. The old fella saw this of course and grew irate, yet could not challenge the claim since he knows the fault lies with himself for why the sword broke

“Stop this now! The Celestial Palace is already in disarray, we don’t need anymore pointless quibbles added between us.” Keeper Zun frowns after stopping his peers from arguing, “I thought fate smiled upon us when Bai Yan disappeared that day, but who could’ve thought another crazy la.s.s would pop out of nowhere and murder so many in the Celestial Realm. If we don’t do something fast then the threat will only worsen and cause even more panic in the people.”

“But… what about the forces from the Demon Realm?” Another Keeper speaks up, his voice getting worried, “Though their army have retreated back to their own border and left ours, it doesn’t change the fact that they are keeping an eye on us. If we leave the palace then it would be the perfect opening for those demons to destroy everyone. We can’t just let them do that can we?”

“I understand your worry my brother. However, Di Cang and Bai Yan have already gone missing, that means the remaining forces in the Demon Realm is greatly weakened. If we don’t go provoke them then it should be fine, they most likely won’t do anything rash during this period.” This was Keeper Zun’s optimistic opinion.

He’s honestly been scared to the bones at this point and wanted nothing more than a truce between both slides. The old man has seen for himself what Bai Yan could do after this short period of growth, with time, that woman would stand at the pinnacle of this world. Challenging such a person would be unwise and foolish. Besides, they needed Bai Yan, they needed her to fight when the great calamity arrives.

Funnily enough though, there’s no way Di Cang and Bai Yan would ever agree to a ceasefire, nor does the demons as a whole accept such an outcome. The hate they have for the Celestial Realm have long been printed into their souls. Unless the Demon Realm firmly stomps on these people from the Celestial Palace and make them suffer the same level of suffering demonkin did thanks to their mistakes, then a peace treaty would be out of the question.

It’s then without any indication during their gloomy silence, the grumpy Keeper Ling suddenly pulled himself up from the seat and began heading for the exit. He didn’t say a word, but those behind him could immediately see what he was doing and called him out.

“Keeper Ling, where are you going?” Keeper Zun frowns and asked.

Stopping right before he reached the door, the grumpy old man casts a sideway glance back at his peers: “You have all lost your backbone, but I have not. When so many denizens of our Celestial Realm are fighting with their all in our stead, you all are brooding around in this hall without doing something. I will not stand for this! I will go face that crazy la.s.s myself if I must!” Having said this, his figure explodes into a flash of light and disappeared before everyone.

The words stung the rest of the gathered elders here, but Keeper Zun and Keeper Yellow both understood why their grumpy counterpart would think that way. Without objection or outrage, they also gave chase after sharing an understanding glance with each other.

Keeper Ling is right. If we continue to worry this and that then nothing will ever be done. The Demon Realm isn’t attacking yet, that means we can still use this opportunity to save as many as we can….
