The Endless Promise {COMPLETED}

As the gongs and horns of war rang through Sky Realm's skies, the confused Sky General reappeared somewhere else.

He was the Merman amongst the three Sky Generals, and was the third Sky General in the past who had worked with Immortal Jin, turning the tide against Bailong.

And now, not knowing where the War Deity's rendezvous point was, he reappeared in the Floral Palace and knelt, bowing to one of the Floral Elders.

He explained the meeting in full detail...

"If they have a plan I don't know about, then they might already suspect me! We must warn the Mistress!"

"Waste!" The Floral Elder waved a hand, sending him skidding painfully across the floor. "How could you give yourself away

"You -!" The Sky General glared up at the Floral Elder, but the Floral Elder narrowed his eyes.

"Hmm? Do you want to rebel?" The vision of a beautiful blood red bloom appeared to hover before the Sky General.

A firm reminder of his blood-flower oath with Zhurong Fen.

The Sky General swiftly got on his knees and bowed.

Then gritting his teeth he said,

"I don't dare! Please spare me!"

"Hmph. As long as you realize your place!" The bloom vanished and the Elder swivelled, walking away.

"Sky Realm is sealed, so we can't even reach the Mistress... Join the Border Defense and pray your stupidity doesn't lead to loss, or I'll crush your Blood-flower Petals myself!"

Meanwhile, the Sky Soldiers were already tracking down the demons and slowly overwhelming them.

The Sky Soldiers swarmed the demons in highly coordinated attacks, using their vast numbers to tire them out or drain them, before dealing a killing blow with a Grand Immortal, or one of Bailong's formations.

A horde of demons had made their way into Central Sky Realm by now, but their paths were blocked by even more Sky soldiers and the War Deity who personally coordinated their attacks.

Here and there in the city, a flash of colour would erupt as one of Bailong's formations was put to use, either chaining the demon in place like the one Kai Zhen had used, or sending them into an endless void, or one which could slow the target's movement...

There was even a formation which affected the target's core, making their qi flow in disarray, and this left them vulnerable to weaker opponents.

As for the regular Immortals, they were swiftly being led into formations set up at intervals through out the City, and these formations teleported them right into Caoyang were no being under the heavens above thirty years old could ever breach!

Soon, the demon aura within Central Sky Realm began to dwindle.

The War deity stood high up in the sky, watching over the battle below.

As a member of the original 'Emperor's Circle', Old man Bao had naturally approached him.

But with different instructions...

Bailong (Luoyin) had sent him a personal letter, not urging him to help out in the Mortal Realm like the rest, but warning him to prepare for a sudden attack on Sky Realm.

"I suspect this *Cloaked Woman might make a move for the Sky Throne...!" The letter had read, and it also warned him that in the past thirty thousand years, the Cloaked Woman had likely taken steps to create an army of Universal tier demons...
