Chapter 450: Three Days (2/2)

Scarlet Ape fell silent. Levitating Island was too important to the monster spirits. If it was destroyed, they’d never be able to rise again.

“I will protect them within Destiny City,” Scarlet Ape allowed, upon facing the crowd. The vicious feared the foolish, and the foolish feared the suicidal.

“So you’ll abandon them once they leave the city?” an origin dao immortal demanded with narrowed eyes.

Scarlet Ape remained quiet.

“Alright, we’ll give you three days,” scoffed the man with fiery long hair. “If they don’t leave the city by then, we’ll break into the manor!”

……

“This is the most I can do for you.” Scarlet Ape turned its blazing eyes at Lu Yun.

Lu Yun had come to. Although every single bone in his body had been shattered, Ge Long’s pearl had fully healed his consciousness and nascent spirit.

“I advise against deploying your weapons of war. Those origin dao immortals are crazed. If they knew who you are, or gained even an inkling of your identity… Heh heh, Dusk Province would be razed to the ground in the next second.” Mockery floated onto Scarlet Ape’s expression.

It needed Lu Yun to rescue its dao partner. If the human died, Scarlet Ape would have to wait until it recovered to its peak and could venture into the desolate land itself. That, however, would take an indeterminable amount of time. Lu Yun wasn’t its only option, but he was a highly ideal one.

“Three days will be enough.” Lu Yun breathed out, his physical injuries healing at great speed as Qing Han applied ointment to his body. “However...”

He looked up at the faint shadow cast over the city by the Sword of Chaos. He was certain that once he left the city, the origin dao immortals would be the least of his problems. Sword Divine would be after him as well.

The divine had made it clear: he’d only tapped into a ten thousandth of the sword’s power back in the Sovereign Arena. If he could use the sword’s full power… Well, Lu Yun would be dusted into ashes with the slightest pressure.

There were many tricks that he couldn’t use while Scarlet Ape was with him. The ape wasn’t going to forgo any chances to observe Lu Yun and figure out his secret weapons; there was bound to be a war between Dusk Province and Levitating Island at some point, due to the bad blood between them.

Lu Yun wasn’t foolish enough to let Scarlet Ape witness what he was capable of, either; three days were also more than enough for him.

Hell was a unique realm. Not even Scarlet Ape could detect the ripples he created when he returned to the netherworld. Empress Myrtlestar had only somewhat sensed hell’s existence because of Qing Han.

“Perhaps I should deal with them,” said Empress Myrtlestar.

She’d manifested herself with the aid of a starstone, allowing her to wield power great enough to defeat anyone within a short period of time. However, she would be quite weakened for a while afterwards, since she was only a fragmented soul at the moment.

Scarlet Ape flicked a wary look at Empress Myrtlestar. If both of them were at their peak, there was no telling which of the two would actually win if they were to battle.

“The seventeen crippled origin dao immortals outside wouldn’t pose a threat if I work with the old senior.” Empress Myrtlestar turned to Ge Long.

Scarlet Ape’s expression darkened. Ge Long was another enigma! He was able to influence the immortal dao!

“Who are you?” the monster spirit piped up, staring at the old man.
