The Endless Promise {COMPLETED}

146. Most Feared In The Heavens

.

"Hmph!" Bailong flung his sleeve, folding an arm behind his back. "I'd like to see who amongst you can make me hand innocent ones over to them!"

"You-!" Tianlong couldn't believe Bailong would openly defy him.

"He's rebelling!" Grand Immortal Jin yelled out, his words calling his minions to action. "Stop him before he harms the Sky Emperor!!"

"He might be hiding a talisman beneath his back!" One was quick to yell, sending the hall into mild chaos, as the Sky Palace guards jumped in to shield Tianlong.

A few of the guards leapt towards Bailong, but before they could touch him, he promptly vanished.

"Go after him!" Immortal Jin yelled, not even hiding the fact that he was giving orders, despite the Sky Emperor being present, but he gritted his teeth when two of the three Sky Generals present both turned to the Sky Emperor for permission.

Tianlong was in some shock, still unable to believe Bailong had gone as far as openly defying him.

"Sky Emperor!" Immortal Jin appeared and bowed to him. "You must act! All of Sky Realm is looking to you for guidance!

"If we don't stop High Grand Immortal Yin today, he might usurp the throne and wreak havoc tomorrow!"

"Impossible!" Fei Yun instantly rebuffed.

"Surely not!" Tianlong himself could not imagine it.

This was Bailong. He wasn't the type to usurp the throne, especially when his own friend sat on it!

He was also someone who couldn't stand for injustice! There was simply no way Bailong would ever wreak havoc when innocent lives were at stake...

Wasn't this the same reason Bailong was defying him?

Immortal Jin hid a smirk.

"Sky Emperor, you simply cannot afford to favor High Grand Immortal Yin! 'Fear not the evil Villain, but he who performs Villainous acts in the name of Righteousness'!

"We all know Immortal Yin is a loyal friend and is righteous... But that might be the problem here!

"What if he seizes the throne because he's convinced you're in the wrong and won't 'let you veer down the wrong path'?! What if he causes chaos in his fight for the 'Just and Innocent'?!

"Didn't we all witness what he could do during the Civil War...?!"

These words awoke a few more doubts within Tianlong, and he recalled Bailong's words from just now,

"...I won't accept such blatant injustice...!"

What was Bailong capable of in the pursuit of Justice?!

After some consideration, Tianlong resolutely pointed towards the doors. "After him!"

The Sky Generals leapt into action, each performing a single hand seal, and thousands upon thousands of Sky Soldiers appeared around Sky Palace, their gold and silver armours gleaming in the sunlight.

"Everyone!" The third Sky General, clearly on Immortal Jin's side, addressed. "We are going after High Gra-... Pardon me, we are going after the traitor, Yin Xiaolong!"

Tianlong felt a bit sick...

He hadn't intended to dub Bailong a 'traitor', but now he could feel all the gazes turn toward him as the three Sky Generals knelt before him.

So he remained silent and simply pointed outward again.

And with that single gesture, the mass armies of Sky Realm flew away from Sky Palace, all chasing after Bailong.
