“Keeper Red!”


  The complexion of Keeper Sky suddenly changed once he noticed the familiar body among the pile of corpses. Though the limbs are mostly crushed and the face deformed, that robe was all he needed to know in order to confirm the individual’s identity.

  “It’s Red, Keeper Red has been killed!”


  A grim expression filled the rest of the Keepers like it’s a plague. Unlike in the past, nowadays there aren’t many who could reach the Demi Divine Lord level, and once they do, the individual would be revered as a Keeper in these lands. Imagine having someone like that being so easily murdered today, what would that mean for the rest of them? The answer would be obvious, they are all in danger of being killed at a moment’s notice.

  “Who is it, who killed so many of our people? And who killed Keeper Red?”


  The crowd got eerily quiet in that moment until the bristling sound of the wind could be heard.

  “Right, where is Ruo Xi?” The yellow robed Keeper suddenly asks with a frightened face.

  “Right, we need to find Rou Xi, we need to see if she’s alright! She is the hope of us all!” Another chimes in with equally anxious tone.

  If anything happens to the girl then we will be the greatest sinners of the Celestial Realm.

  Many helped rummage through the battlefield for signs of the girl, but in the end they didn’t find anyone remotely resembling that witch.

  “Quick, she might be somewhere else if we can’t find her here. Even if she’s dead, we must at least find her corpse!” The yellow robed Keeper stares off into the sky, his eyes firm and strong in this moment.

  Just like that, the three Keepers that were left behind to defend the herb mountain had split apart in three different directions, each leading a group of their own followers in search of Yun Ruo Xi.

  ……


  Right now back over in the vicinity of the herb mountain where it’s still burning ablaze, the witch who was speaking so arrogantly earlier had now grown tired and enraged.

  Based on what? Based on what can she achieve whatever she deems her mind to? Even killing a Keeper, how is she able to do all that when she wants?!

  “Milady!” It’s then a breathless voice cried out from the front.

  It was her maid calling out to her. Due to how much she had run, it’s obvious the maid’s out of breath and was gasping for air once she stopped.

  Ugly and cold in the face: “Did those people leave? Is the old coot gone too?”


  The maid nodded: “They’re all gone, and… just now Keeper Sky and the others are also back!”
