Chapter 1429 - 1429
"That man is very sneaky! He is very good at stealing. He snatched the key from my hand! I think Zhu Chang brought him here for that exact reason, so he could steal things that we find!" Yui Ling continued pouring patrol over the fire, taking advantage of the situation to get her revenge.
"Silence," Long Hu told Yui Ling.
He didn't consider her worthy to be here. Even in the battles, Yui Ling was weakening. For Long Hu, only the top four clans were worth approaching him or talking to him.
Fortunately, Zhu Chang was from one of these four clans.
"You lost the key. That shows your weakness, not this Demon's strength," Long Hu said before turning to Zhu Chang. "You speak. Why did you bring the Demon to our holy place."
"He isn't a Demon. He is actually a human who cultivated a skill that makes his eyes look like that. And she is his wife," Zhu Chang replied.
"Do you think this is a picnic spot where you're bringing guests?" Baihu Yang asked. "How did your father allow this? It's very amusing."
"Don't think too much. I didn't even know that I was going to end up here. I was exploring my first Ancestor's Tomb with them when I ended up here. I didn't even know about this exploration before I came here," Zhu Chang explained.
"It's only after I appeared here when I met the others and found out what's happening here," he added.
"So your father didn't send you?" Baihu Yang asked. "You should leave. Take your friends as well. Don't forget to leave your keys behind."
"I'm not going anywhere." Zhu Chang smiled. "And they won't go either. It doesn't matter if my father sent me or not. I'm still here as the representative of the Black Tortoise Clan. And I'm staying here."
"Then send your friends back. Their entry isn't allowed," Yui Ling said.
"Oh, I doubt that's the case. If that were the case, my ancestral tomb wouldn't have sent them here with me," Zhu Chang said. "If humans weren't allowed here, they would've died as soon as they stepped foot here. Don't tell me our holy place doesn't have protection set against intruders?"
"Interesting. It's probably because they are humans," Baihu Yang nodded. "Humans are weak creatures. There was no need to set precautions related to them. It's just a loophole."
"A loophole or whatever, it just proves that humans are allowed here. Unless you want to go against what the Ancestors decided for this realm?" Zhu Chang smirked. "Or are you scared of their presence?"
"Do you think I care about these humans?" Baihu Yang asked. "I can't even feel any strength from them. They aren't any threat to me. And they can never be. Let alone then, even you're the same."
"If you want to bring him in, then so be it. Just open the door with us first," he added.
Zhu Chang looked at Long Hu. "What about you?"
"Stop delaying us and open the door," Long Hu said. "I don't care who you bring. As one as it's not a Demon or a Heavenly Warrior, I don't care."
"That's good," Zhu Chang smiled. "Long Chen, do you want to do the honors since you have the key?"
Long Chen nodded. It was like he was a chief guest in the party of the strongest. Moreover, he was also somewhat intrigued about the key and why Yui Ling wanted it so much.
Long Hu walked to the doors and inserted his key in the central keyhole.
Baihu Yang stepped forward next and inserted the key in the left keyhole.
Bai Gu and Long Chen both possessed a key each, but only one was needed to open. Bai Hu allowed Long Chen the opportunity to use the key.
Long Chen stepped forward and inserted the key into the right keyboard.
As soon as all the keys were inserted, the keys started shining brightly before they disappeared.
They weren't the only keys that disappeared. The key in the pocket of Bai Gu also disappeared.
A young red-haired lady had just finished finding a key when she noticed that the key disappeared from her hand. "Huh? The door is opened? I need to get there before it closes!"
She flew at her fastest speed, trying to get to the Temple before the entrance was closed. She didn't want to be too late.
As all the keys disappeared from the keyboard, a small symbol appeared on the hands of all three people who had used the keys. The door started becoming illusory before it disappeared completely, opening the entrance.
As soon as the entrance was opened, the Baihu Yang and Long Hu flew inside.
Yui Ling also stepped inside, glaring at Long Chen as if she was going to eat him. It's because of him that she had lost such a great opportunity.
Still, she was happy that Zhu Chang or Bai Gu hadn't used the keys. It meant that they truly didn't know why the key was important.
'Father was right. He had taken a risk by telling me this secret. I don't think other Beastly Kings said anything to their sons. It's so bad that I couldn't use this information. All because of this man. I'll find a way to get back at him. Most certainly,' she thought as she also flew behind.
"Let's get going. It's not good to be left behind," Zhu Chang told Long Chen as he flew inside. Long Chen followed with Xun and Bai Gu.
A Few minutes after everyone had stepped in, the door started materializing again.
"No, I'm going to be too late!" The distant phoenix roared, seeing the gate slowly appear.
She increased her speed as much as she could to get there in time, but she was too late. The door fully materialized.
"Argh!!!" She roared in rage.
She needed three keys and three people to open the entrance again, but she believed that almost everyone else had entered. She was left alone with no way to enter. She had missed the opposite.
She didn't know what to do. She had one task, and she had failed.
"I received this one opportunity to prove that the clan didn't need her! It was an opportunity to prove myself, but I failed even that! I-i can't go back! I need to wait here. Maybe more people will come here? I just need two more!"
She decided to not lose hope as she sat at the entrance of the temple, waiting for anyone else to come here to help.. Anything was better for her than going back.
