Astonishment

Those menacing robed figures, upon hearing her claim that she was protected by a god-king, all stared wide-eyed in astonishment, their faces filled with bewilderment.

They never imagined that this seemingly young girl would have such a powerful backer.

In this divine realm, the God King's reputation is renowned. He stands at the very top of the pyramid. Although these Descendants of the War Abyss God King also possess a certain degree of pride and confidence, compared to the God King, they are as insignificant as ants.

They exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes filled with confusion and shock. They had initially thought Yun Xi was an easy target, someone who could be easily manipulated; they believed that as long as they invoked the name of the War Abyss God King and used the so-called righteous cause to persuade her, she would obediently submit.

But now, she claims to have a god-king protecting her, which completely disrupts their plans.

While they were still immersed in shock, their gaze fell on the leader in the robe lying on the ground not far away.

The leader of the cloaks was pale as paper, with bloodstains all over his chest, and his breathing was weak and disordered, clearly indicating that he had suffered extremely serious injuries.

Although the Light Arrow Technique that Yun Xi casually unleashed did not kill him, it did severely injure him.

Seeing their leader's miserable state, the hearts of the people in the robes clenched instantly. Their eyes held both worry for their leader and fear and anger towards Yun Xi.

Fear stemmed from the fact that Yun Xi's strength far exceeded their expectations, while anger arose from the fact that Yun Xi dared to attack their leader.

However, they didn't know how to react.

If Ru Kuan continues to pursue Yun Xi, not to mention that Yun Xi has a God King backing her up, the strength she just displayed is enough to make them wary.

They didn't know what the consequences of attacking Yun Xi again would be; it might even plunge them into utter ruin.

But they were unwilling to give up so easily, after all, they had come with a mission: to take Yun Xi to the sleeping place of the War Abyss God King. Moreover, their leader was seriously injured; if they returned empty-handed, how would they face their clan?

For a moment, the people were caught in a dilemma. They stood there, hesitant, exchanging glances, trying to get some support and advice from each other.

Despite suffering severe injuries from Yun Xi's fierce Light Arrow Technique, the leader of the robes was in excruciating pain all over his body. Every step he took felt like countless needles were piercing his body, but he still gritted his teeth and used all his strength to stand up.

His legs trembled slightly, and his body swayed precariously, but his eyes were unusually firm as he walked step by step toward Yun Xi's Fang Bi.

Seeing this, the people in the surrounding robes all wanted to help him up, but he stopped them by raising his hand.

He came before Yun Xi, and although he was weak, he still straightened his back and said, "Your Highness Yun Xi, what I just said was not a lie. You really are in danger of dying!" His voice trembled slightly due to his disordered breathing, but the sincerity in his words was clearly audible.

Yun Xi frowned slightly, a hint of wariness in her eyes. She looked coldly at the White-robed Leader without speaking, waiting for him to continue.

The White-robed Leader took a deep breath and continued, "As for the protection of the God-King you mentioned, there is currently only one God-King still alive in the world: the Chaos God King." His tone carried an unquestionable certainty, as if he knew the situation of the God-Kings in this divine realm like the back of his hand.

"As the Soul Fragment Reincarnation the God of Light Divine Child, how could the other party possibly protect you sincerely?" His voice rose a few decibels, as if he wanted Yun Xi to take his words seriously.

"In this complex divine realm, various forces are engaged in fierce competition and intricate entanglements of interests. The former glory and power of the Temple of Light have instilled fear in countless people. As Reincarnation of the God of Light's Soul Fragment, you bear too many consequences and missions on your shoulders..."

Yun Xi listened to the White-robed Leader's endless rambling, her brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and her annoyance surged like a tide.

She was not one to enjoy listening to long-winded speeches, and besides, what the White-robed Leader said was nothing more than an excuse to persuade her to go to the sleeping place of the War Light God King.

Finally, just as the White-robed Leader was about to continue speaking, Yun Xi suddenly raised her hand, making a gesture to stop him, and said coldly, "Alright, stop rambling. I will not go to the sleeping place of Zhan Light God King." Her voice was crisp and resolute, like an ice blade in the cold night, cutting through the silent air.

The White-robed Leader was startled by Yun Xi's sudden action and forceful words. His mouth opened slightly, but he swallowed the words he was about to say.

The surrounding White-robed person fell silent, their gazes shifting between Yun Xi and the White-robed Leader, creating a tense atmosphere. Yun Xi stood there, her posture upright, her eyes resolute, like an unshakeable mountain.

In fact, Yun Xi refusal wasn't solely due to distrust of the White-robed Leader. Even if she were to sign a contract with these White-robed person, she wouldn't feel at ease.

Although these White-robed person claim to be Descendants of the War Abyss God King War Abyss God King represent his will, in this unpredictable divine realm, who can truly guarantee that their words are true and credible?

Yun Xi knew very well that these White-robed person could not fully represent the War Abyss God King. As a powerful being, the War Abyss God King's thoughts and decisions were not something these descendants could easily fathom or influence.

If the War Abyss God King truly harbored ill intentions and intended to harm her, then the lives of these White-robed person -robed figures would likely be as insignificant as ants in his eyes. To achieve his goals, the War Abyss God King might very well choose to sacrifice the lives of these White-robed person.

The White-robed Leader was caught in a dilemma by Yun Xi's straightforward rejection, feeling both anxious and annoyed. However, he knew the importance of this mission and could not easily give up and let Yun Xi leave.

He gritted his teeth, as if making a difficult decision. Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, soaking his temples, and his pale face flushed an unnatural red from the inner struggle.

His hand slowly reached into his robes, the movement extremely slow, each inch of movement seeming to require all his strength.

The surrounding White-robed person figures all looked on in surprise, wondering what their leader was about to produce. Yun Xi also narrowed her eyes, watching the White-robed Leader's every move warily.

Finally, the White-robed Leader withdrew his hand from his robes, holding an object that emitted a soft glow.
