Not long after Li Tianming killed the Baili brothers, the communication stone carried by Yuan Long, who was still searching the heart relic, suddenly lit up.
Yuan Long's gaze flickered. She opened the communication stone and said very politely, "Uncle Baili."
"Yuan Long! Where are my sons? Are they beside you?" A black-clad Eonic God on the other end spoke roughly, clearly agitated.
"They aren't." Yuan Long's heart stirred as she asked, "Uncle Baili, did something happen to them?"
"They're dead!" The black-clad Eonic God glared at Yuan Long and growled, "They said earlier that they'd already met up with you. Why did you split up again?"
Yuan Long knew he was blaming her. She pursed her lips and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "This is what happened. We found a relic, and they were too reckless, so I said a few words to them. Then they demanded to leave the team and search for treasure on their own. Uncle Baili, there was nothing I could do about it. Everyone else in the team can testify to what I said."
"Are you sure?" The black-clad Eonic God looked at her coldly. "Yuan Long, your father and I are sworn brothers. I watched you grow up, and I trust your character. Don't disappoint me!"
After thinking for a moment, Yuan Long could only say, "I'm also sorry that something happened to them... How about this? I'll do my best to look for clues now and see who made a move. It's also possible that there's something wrong with this relic itself."
"No matter what, I need an explanation!" the black-clad Eonic God said.
"I'll do my best." Yuan Long nodded.
The black-clad Eonic God gave her a deep look, then shut off the communication stone.
Their elders simply could not enter
