Chapter 2417

Naturally, the Creation Jade Disc in Yaochi's hands was the same.

But Taishang Laojun told the two that Ancestor Minghe had once set his sights on the Taiji Tu and the Creation Jade Disc; upon hearing this, both were startled and understood Ancestor Minghe's intentions.

"But how can we protect these two items?" Yaochi asked, troubled.

If Taishang Laojun couldn't protect them, how could they possibly resist Ancestor Minghe's assault?

"As long as you don't leave the Purple Xu Palace!"

"But Ancestor Minghe can enter the Purple Xu Palace too…" As soon as Haotian said this, he understood.

Although Ancestor Minghe could enter the Purple Xu Palace, he did not control it alone—Ancestor Hongjun was also there; though Ancestor Hongjun was in seclusion, that didn't mean he was unaware of the world.

Yaochi nodded and said, "Thank you, Laojun, for your guidance."

"Go now, return quickly and guard the Purple Xu Palace. Don't concern yourselves with the demon race or the witch race—first, protect your own possessions."

"Understood."

Yaochi returned quickly.

But Haotian was still thinking: if Luo Fu came, would there be a solution?

Luo Fu was stronger than ordinary Da Luo Jinxian; Haotian wanted to learn from Luo Fu, but he had never had the chance to see Luo Fu, so naturally he had no opportunity to ask him.

Yaochi glanced back at him, grabbed his sleeve, and yanked him back.

"What are you staring at? Hurry up! The Purple Xu Palace's treasures are vital—don't you dare lose them!"

"Fine, I'm going—just let go of me!"

The two bickered and playfully fought all the way back to the Purple Xu Palace.

At this moment, Ling She Island was unusually bustling.

Because of the Heavenly Book Demon, all life on Ling She Island knew of the demon race's affairs; the fire ghost carriage had set upon Ling She had directly shattered their illusions about the demon race.

The demon race were no longer a place for them to seek refuge.

What about the witch race?

These beings asked themselves: if they approached the witch race, would the witch race take them in?

Now it was clear: both the Heavenly Book Demon and the Flame Mouse wished to follow Luo Fu Shengren—they too wished to follow Luo Fu Shengren, not the witch race.

With one single conviction, the beings of Honghuang found their proper path.

Luo Fu was like a guiding lantern, illuminating the road ahead, allowing them to see every pit and bump, and walk forward step by step, steadily and firmly.

The beings of Ling She Island had never felt so grounded before.

If Dong Huang Taiyi knew that the Heavenly Book Demon and the Flame Mouse had come to Ling She Island to poach his followers, he would be so enraged he'd kill them all.

But the Heavenly Book Demon and the Flame Mouse had already left; they could not find them.

The Rhinoceros Spirit stood beside him, watching Huang Feng Guai, sensing something was off—but he couldn't say what.

Huang Feng Guai asked, "Rhinoceros Spirit, if we follow the path of the Heavenly Book Demon and the others, can we still return to the demon race?"

"Of course you can return to the demon race—but do you think they still want to return? Do you still want to return to the demon race?"

At this question, Huang Feng Guai immediately understood.

The demon race no longer had room for them; otherwise, when the Heavenly Book Demon declared his intent to come to Ling She Island, the Ten Great Demon Saints would have stopped him—and even Ancestor Minghe sought to seize Ling She Island—how could the demon race not have claimed it?
