Chapter 580 - How to Save Him (1/2)
Qiu Ling left the battlefield under Qiang Yan's worried gaze. He couldn't tell anyone what he intended to do. Neither the gods nor his own race could be allowed to know about the things going on in the background. If anyone found out that the old geezer was still alive or that Xin Lan was actually living in the demon realm … Who knew what would happen? It might hinder his plan or, in the worst case, even thwart it. He couldn't let that happen.
Qiu Ling stopped not far from the border of the demon realm. A few ideas were circling in his mind but he wasn't sure yet how to go about this exactly. The easiest way to solve this should be to go to the Yun Zou Sect and ask the old geezer for help. If he told Xin Lan to rescue Jing Yi, then he would do so.
But Jin Ling was certainly waiting for him to run over to Jinde. That was what he wanted so, naturally, he couldn't let him have his way. No, Jin Ling had taken his beloved from him. He certainly wouldn't let him find his own happiness now. If he could, he would make it so that Jin Ling would never have the opportunity to see the old geezer again.
In that case, he couldn't contact him now. The best would be if he didn't contact him directly at all. He had to wait some time and then send someone over in a sneaky manner.
With that decision in mind, Qiu Ling finally made his way over to the Nine Heavens and sneaked into Jing He's palace. ”You can leave.”
Qiang Wei and Yi Zan flinched and turned around with their claws extended. Seeing their king sitting at the crown prince's bedside, they relaxed.
”Your Majesty …” Qiang Wei sighed. Couldn't this guy use the door? And how had he managed to get behind them anyway? He hadn't heard anything at all!
”Mn. I'll stay with him for a while. You …” He lowered his gaze and glanced at Jing He. Even though he would have loved to send one of them over to the Yun Zou Sect, it wasn't the time yet. Jin Ling certainly had someone monitor the people coming to this palace and leaving. He couldn't rush this matter. ”You just wait outside until I leave.”
”Yes.” Yi Zan and Qiang Wei bowed and left the palace, not daring to say anything else to him.
Yi Zan couldn't help but furrow his brows when they closed the door behind them though. ”This means that they weren't able to save him, doesn't it?”
”I think so. He's surprisingly calm though. Maybe they have a plan?”
Yi Zan looked at the door, his thoughts wandering. Considering how their king behaved normally when His Highness was concerned … ”The God of War should have been there. He wouldn't let anything happen to his nephew.”
