The Fate of my Soul.

Part 25

Ye Hua and The Skylord continued

Sighing heavily, Bai Zhi rose.  "I honestly hoped it wouldn't come to this Ye Hua." he said softly.  "But we are not going anywhere."  He added before drawing his own sword so swiftly, Ye Hua was not prepared for the strike that burst out towards him.  The strike was not meant to harm, but to disarm, and he succeeded, as Ye Huas sword is ripped violently from his hands, and flung across the room.

This however, does not stop Ye Hua as his anger tortures his face into a wild grimace so dark and fearsome that instantly puts his unwelcome guests into ready defense.  Raising both hands throwing his palms outwards, he unleashed a mighty flay of energy towards The Fox King, his energy also throbbing outwards towards Die Feng and his juniors, sending the Disciples toppling against the wall behind them.

Barely keeping his feet under Ye Huas powerful release, he threw a bolt of his own, though no where near as strong as the one that hit him,  he has no intention of harming the boy, merely to immobilize him, before unleashing another and another, forcing Ye Hua onto his knees.

Then before Ye Hua can even blink, Bai Zhi threw a powerful binding spell around Ye Huas whole body.  Then lifting his hand to Ye Huas head, he released a sleeping spell to immobilize him.  Turning to Gui, he issues him the order to transport Ye Hua directly to Kunlun Mountain.  Once he has them both wrapped in a protective layer of Fox Clan magic, Gui instantly cloud jumps them both away from The Celestial Tribe and back to Kunlun Mountain.

Bai Zhi was thoroughly disappointed in Ye Huas decision, especially as he was still technically in a marriage arrangement with Bai Qian.  And one of the reasons why he was chosen for her, was his sense of righteousness and justice, his ability to see beyond emotions and directly into the heart of any issue with clarity and accuracy.  Yet after his decision today, The Fox King knew without a doubt, the marriage arrangement was no more, and he would without hesitation gift his daughter to Mo Yuan.

But now they had one last issue to take care of, so without further adieu, Bai Zhi, Die Feng, Ping and Bao, swiftly made their way to The Skylords chamber.  The path is once again quiet and lifeless, but they continue regardless, all of them ready for the unexpected, and it isn't until they reach the main entrance to The Skylords Palace are they faced with his own personal guards, of which there are 12 in total.

Recognizing the Fox King, but having been issued the order not to disturb The Skylord, the guards raise their spears high before bringing them back down to cross against each other, effectively preventing their entry into the Palace.

The first guard faced The Fox King, and with his spear still raised, he bowed slightly.  "My apologies High God Bai Zhi, but the Skylord is not taking visitors.  You may leave a message with us, or if you would prefer, you could come back at a later time." he informs him, before once again giving a light bow.

It is not until Die Feng, Ping and Bao step forward to stand alongside Bai Zhi, does the first guard notice they are all in battle armor, and once he does, his stance becomes guarded and defensive. "I suggest you come back later High God Bai Zhi." he said more forcefully, taking one step forward to prevent any of them from drawing any closer.

With a sad smile, Bai Zhi, raised his hand and threw a sleeping spell over the entire entrance guard,  immediately putting them all out of action.  However, what he didn't notice were the maids who were directly behind them, and having witnessed the events unfolding, they all immediately fled into the main palace to alert The Skylord.

Their sudden departure is also not missed by Die Feng, so wasting no time, they immediately step through the entrance and race forward in through the main Palace Doors, barely making it before the Skylord has a chance to call for assistance.
