Not long after the Abyssal Demon Ancestor left, the Azure Emperor followed the five ancestral elders of the imperial clans to the headquarters of the human Alliance Government.
Some of the Azure Emperor's subordinates traveled with him. However, nearly thirty percent of the skeletons chose to leave the group and go their own way. The Azure Emperor respected their choice and let them leave, merely warning them not to become enemies of the humans of the present era.
Canopus, the ancestor of the Asdero Family, dialed the number Prometheus had left him the moment he departed Condam Prison. No one answered. Still, he persisted in calling more than a dozen times before finally leaving a message about Gu Ding's capture.

"So he'll kill Gu Ding?" Liliath did not quite understand
