The Endless Promise {COMPLETED}

165. One Last Time...

.

The tallest tower in Yu Shui city was in utter ruins, but it remained standing tall in the damp, desolate, foggy city, its elegant roofs filled with holes, broken eaves, and missing tiles.

Two pairs of feet gently landed atop the highest roof and Luoyin swiftly cast a few hand seals.

A jet of his bright blue aura shot into the skies, parting the clouds, accompanied by spirals of brilliant and colourful lights.

"A-Yin!" Weiyan exclaimed in worry. "This place was conspicuous enough... Why give away our position?!"

But Luoyin smirked. "Hmph. That's precisely the plan!"

As expected, a familiar voice rang out, now colder and more fierce than ever.

"Kill Them!"

Zhurong Fen had seen Luoyin's aura on the tower and instantly gave the kill order, sending most of the Universal Tier demons right to the tower!

But the demon's all crashed into an invisible barrier.

Atop the tower, Weiyan shook her head, not even the least bit surprised.

"You deliberately drew them away from the citizens... Hao." She held out a hand and her sword appeared. "Your shield won't hold up against them for long, so we'll face them together!"

"Er... Ehehe, Yanyan, calm down!" Luoyin pulled her firmly behind him. "Not yet, not yet! That wasn't only to draw the demons away... It was also a signal!"

"Hmph. Such an ostentatious signal... You've not stopped showing off in so many years!" A bitter voice spoke and they both swivelled to see a white and gold robed figure appearing.

It was Yan Lutian, Weiyan's immortal cousin from the Swallow Clan. He flashed a smile of pure admiration to Weiyan.

"Cousin! It's really you!" Red splotches appeared on his cheeks. "Even as a mortal, you're graceful in everyway!!"

"Hmph." Weiyan turned her face away, clearly unimpressed.

A sour look descended on Luoyin's face. "Why are you here again?!"

Lutian matched his displeased countenance. "Tch! Just be thankful I'm willing to fight with yo-!"

He was cut off by a dense aura suddenly filling the space, and Luoyin swiftly tugged Weiyan behind himself.

"Oh? Xiaozi, you really dared summon us to fight these low-lives." A soft voice said, and they turned to see a woman materialize, dressed in flowing red and black robes.

It was Rong Yin, the new Shadow Deity, a High Grand Immortal Fox in charge of all seals and gateways to the Shadow Realm, and though her face was beautiful, she was too pale and surrounded by a creepy air.

"Hmph." She covered her nose. "Lucky for you I do have a score to settle with that offensive bxxch...! She dared mess with the Shadow Realm Seals! She must take responsibility if the Sky Emperor docks my Salary!"

"I don't believe it!" Another voice spoke and yet another Immortal appeared.

"You've really become a mortal!" It was the River Deity who had abandoned his post after the events thirty thousand years ago! His eyes fell on Weiyan.

"Ei? Both husband and wife are mortal!" He exclaimed. "Xiaozi! Did you secretly run off here to enjoy yourself with your wife?!"

"Just be thankful they're alive and well!" More and more Immortals appeared one by one, including several elder Immortals, the Wood Deity, the Plague Deity, the Thunder Deity, the Weaver Deity, and the current Lord Medicine, an elderly Immortal who had insisted on being Bailong's 'disciple' back then!
