She looked at Long Jinhan. Among them, only he had the ability to destroy this thing.
Meeting Bai Ran's gaze, Long Jinhan nodded slightly, extending his hand with well-defined knuckles.
With a click, an incredibly strong shackle was torn in two, and soon all the shackles were destroyed.
Bai Ran picked one up. The stinging sensation was gone, as if it were just an ordinary piece of iron, heavy in her palm.
“Miss Bai, when will he wake up?” Jing Feng looked at Long Yu, his expression worried.
“He should wake up tomorrow, don’t worry.”
Meanwhile, in the Divine Realm.
“Oh no, oh no! Divine Emperor, something big has happened!”
The Fourth Elder ran into the hall in a panic, interrupting the dancers and also disturbing Mo Huai’an, who was in high spirits.
Mo Huai’an’s face darkened. He waved his hand, dismissing the dancers in the hall. “What is it?”
His voice was laced with anger. Clearly, being interrupted at a crucial moment made him irritable.
The Fourth Elder immediately knelt down with a thud, burying his head on the floor and stammering.
“The, the life tablet of the Divine Maiden of Yaochi Palace… shattered…”
The Divine Maiden of Yaochi Palace? Mo Huai’an frowned, his eyes narrowing. He clearly didn’t care about her life or death.
“If it shattered, it shattered. Why do you need to report such a trivial matter to this Emperor?”
He had secretly sent Ze Lan to assist Long Yu, and he hadn’t expected her to return alive. Now that she was dead, his ears were much cleaner.
“But, but even Long Yu… has lost contact…” The Fourth Elder’s body trembled, and his words were as faint as a mosquito’s buzz.
The death of the Divine Maiden of Yaochi Palace was nothing, but Long Yu losing contact meant what? It meant he had likely failed.
“Say that again to this Emperor—!”
Mo Huai’an suddenly stood up. The wine he had drunk made his emotions even more furious.
“Bang—!” The wine cup and wine were smashed to the ground in anger.
The sound came from above. The Fourth Elder trembled even more violently. “Divine, Divine Emperor, please calm your wrath…”
Mo Huai’an’s eyes were bloodshot, his chest heaving with rage.
Long Yu failed!? Impossible!!!
Long Yu had high cultivation, and his spatial inversion technique could suppress that brat from the Demon Realm. Who could stop him!?
Could it be!? Mo Huai’an’s expression changed drastically. Someone had discovered the secret of the shackles!
The Fourth Elder trembled like a sieve, steeling himself, and spoke again. “Divine Emperor, please calm your wrath… I, I have another piece of news to report…”
Mo Huai’an took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. Impossible. Mental cultivation was extremely difficult, and even in the Nine Heavens, there were few who could achieve it.
Given the bloodline of that vixen, she could never have discovered the secret.
Yes, he must not panic…
With this thought, Mo Huai’an sat back down, rubbing his temples, and slowly said, “Speak, what else is there?”
The Fourth Elder swallowed, so nervous he dared not breathe. “Second, Second Elder has left the Divine Realm…”
As he spoke, he took out a letter from his embrace. “Please, Your Excellency, take a look…”
Mo Huai’an’s eyes were filled with icy coldness. He waved to the Heavenly Soldier beside him, gesturing for him to retrieve it.
The Heavenly Soldier took the letter from the Fourth Elder, opened it, and respectfully presented it to Mo Huai’an. “Please, Divine Emperor, take a look.”
Mo Huai’an lowered his gaze and read the letter…
—What a load of crap, the Divine Realm. Whoever wants to stay can stay.
The spiritual energy in the hall suddenly surged. Mo Huai’an clenched the letter, and in his rage, tore it to shreds.
“Good… Good! Very good—!!!” httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
“Everyone is getting so capable!!!”
Mo Huai’an’s shoulders trembled, and his entire face turned a bruised purple.
A terrifying pressure permeated the hall. The Fourth Elder’s lips quivered, and he was too afraid to utter a single word.
Mo Huai’an clenched his fists, and the killing intent around him raged.
The Second Elder had always had a good relationship with Baili Xiao. Now that Baili Xiao had left the Divine Realm in disgust, the Second Elder naturally wouldn’t stay.
But to leave such an arrogant and presumptuous letter before he left almost made Mo Huai’an die of anger.
At this moment, the Second Elder was strolling through a secluded mountain forest.
He enjoyed the scenery and even amused himself by teasing the spirit beasts in the forest, living a life of utter freedom.
He walked and pushed open the door to a small courtyard. “You live quite secludedly…”
“Second Elder!” A woman’s voice exclaimed with extreme delight, rushing to greet him.
“Here, take this fine wine I brought for your Divine Lord!”
Saying so, he smilingly took out two jars of fine wine from his storage ring and stuffed them into Wu Si’s arms.
“Where is your Divine Lord? I don’t see him?”
As soon as he spoke, footsteps sounded from inside the house. Baili Xiao walked out, a faint, helpless smile on his lips.
“Second Elder, I hope you are well.”
The Second Elder chuckled and teased, “My beard isn’t disheveled now, is it? Haha.”
Baili Xiao chuckled. “Not at all, it’s perfectly neat.”
The Second Elder was a straightforward person and tended to get anxious when things happened. Every time he came to see Baili Xiao, either his beard was messy or his shoes were lost.
And he always said that the Second Elder was so impolite. Now that he thought about it, he was the one who had drawn boundaries for himself and was too rigid in his thinking.
Wu Si trotted over to greet the Second Elder and then served them tea, looking very cheerful.
“Second Elder, why have you come to see the Divine Lord?”
The Second Elder took a sip of tea without tasting it, as long as it quenched his thirst.
“Your Divine Lord is gone, I was bored to death staying in that damned Divine Realm.”
His teacup was empty, so he poured himself another.
“Dealing with a bunch of hypocritical ghosts every day, I can’t stand it.”
Baili Xiao sipped his tea, a faint smile on his face. “Second Elder is right.”
“Here.” The Second Elder extended his hand and placed a treasure on the table. “I stole this before I left.”
“This is!” Wu Si was overjoyed. “It’s a Star Compass! And it’s the Mother Compass!”
With the Mother Compass in hand, they wouldn’t have to worry about the Divine Emperor finding their location, and they could even find the Child Compasses!
Baili Xiao looked at the item on the table, and a hint of surprise flashed in his deep blue eyes. “Second Elder… you are…?”
The Second Elder stroked his snow-white beard and waved his hand nonchalantly, as if it were no big deal.
“For me… you are the only old friend I can talk to.”
Baili Xiao pursed his lips, his eyes showing more emotion. “Baili Xiao will certainly bear this in mind…”
“Oh, alright, alright, stop with the polite formalities of the Divine Realm.”
The Second Elder picked up his wine cup and slammed it on the table. “If you truly thank me, then have a few drinks with me! Hahahaha.”
As the God of War of the Divine Realm, he was forbidden from drinking and indulging. Even a slight indulgence could affect his performance on the battlefield.
Coupled with Baili Xiao’s indifferent and aloof nature, opportunities to drink with him were exceedingly rare.
