Chapter 1827 - Gu Lao’s Death (3)” (1/2)

Chi Chi’s eyes were full of horror to the point where he’s ready to cry.

This girl is comforting me…. Or is she intimidating me?

“Father,” Bai Yan rubs her daughter’s hair before turning to Heavenly, “How did you two leave the ruins?”

The demon queen’s really starting to worry Chi Chi would openly wet himself if she allows Ling Yan to continue, that’s why she wanted to change the topic.

There was a flicker of doubt in the man’s eye: “I don’t know what’s going on either. One moment I was fighting that monster horde, the next I’m being dragged away by a strange force and out I came.”

Bai Ning gently pursed her lips and explained her part: “I don’t know the specific details either. Yan Yan, weren’t you the one who caused the ruins to disappear by doing something?”

Did something?

Out of reflex, Bai Yan casts a glance at the shriveled up Chi Chi.

Turns out he didn’t just send me out, this little guy actually made the entire ruin disappear altogether.

“Monarch,” Butterfly seems to have recalled something and grew urgent in her voice, “during this period while you were away, the other domains have invaded. Elder Sky is currently dealing with the invaders but I fear he might not be enough.”

Heavenly’s gaze promptly grew heavy, his voice cold and hard: “How did the news of my disappearance spread to the other domains?”

“I don’t know.” Butterfly hung her head in apology, those eyes ashamed for her own incompetence.

When Heavenly first returned they had vanquished the spies that might’ve hidden themselves in the domain. The fact that the news still leaked meant there’s a traitor among their ranks.
