Chapter 492 - 489: Return to Chaotic Wind City

Human Territory.

Xichu City.

Emperor Dugu Jingtian, his face flushed with anger, stormed into the great hall.

Bai Daqing hurried forward to meet him and asked, "How did it go? Did the Demon Emperor agree to hand over the people?"

"Agree my ass!" Emperor Dugu Jingtian cursed loudly: "The Demon Emperor is nothing but a vile creature! A despicable and shameless lowlife! One day, I will kill him!!!" In this world, there weren't many who could make Emperor Dugu Jingtian apprehensive, but Demon Emperor Xing Mietian was one of them. Dugu Jingtian dreamed of slaughtering Demon Emperor Xing Mietian, but unfortunately, he had never been able to do so.

"This is troublesome," Bai Daqing furrowed his brows: "Sikong Yi and the others, as princes, know many secrets. If they tell these secrets to the Demon Emperor, then..."

"That's what I'm worried about too," Emperor Dugu Jingtian slowly exhaled a heavy breath: "I chased them to the Demon Territory, demanded the Demon Emperor release them, guess what he said to me?"

"What was his response?" Bai Daqing asked unconsciously.

"He actually claimed he'd never seen Sikong Yi and the others. Can you believe that!"

"The Demon Emperor is blatantly lying!"

"In the end, we fought."

"Who won?" After asking the question, Bai Daqing immediately regretted it—the answer was obvious. If Emperor Dugu Jingtian had won, he would have brought Sikong Yi and the others back with him.

"No one won," Emperor Dugu Jingtian shook his head: "Our strengths are equal; we fought for a day and a night, with no victor. In the end, I could only return empty-handed." When he spoke about this, Dugu Jingtian felt deeply frustrated. It was infuriating—he had stormed into the Demon Territory, furious and demanding people, only to return with nothing. Not only did he make a wasted trip, but he had also been humiliated by that old thing, the Demon Emperor. It was maddening.

"It's good that you didn't lose," Bai Daqing let out a sigh of relief, truly afraid that Emperor Dugu Jingtian might have lost.

Emperor Dugu Jingtian raised an eyebrow, glaring at Bai Daqing: "What did you say?"

"Ah... Oh... Um... I didn't say anything..." Bai Daqing blinked rapidly: "Oh, I did speak just now... I said that His Majesty the Emperor is wise and valiant and will surely defeat the Demon Emperor someday."

"That's not what you said just now, was it?"

"That's exactly what I said!"

"You... never mind, I won't quibble with you," Emperor Dugu Jingtian waved his hand: "What do you think we should do next? With the Demon Emperor protecting Sikong Yi and the others, I can't touch them."

"I can't think of a good solution at this moment either," Bai Daqing said with a bitter smile, shaking his head.

"You may leave for now; let me have some time to think in silence."

"Your servant will take his leave.

After Bai Daqing left, Emperor Dugu Jingtian sat down on his chair, his brows knitting together in thought. Sikong Yi and his cohort absolutely could not be let off; he must find a way to capture Sikong Yi and the others and bring them back! But what method could he use?

...

Once Bai Daqing emerged from the great hall, he sought out Gao Fei and related all that had happened, placing complete trust in Gao Fei at this point.

Having listened to Bai Daqing's account, a frown formed on Gao Fei's brow.

"Sikong Yi and the others are too crafty! They actually fled to the Demon Territory! What's worse, the Demon Emperor is even harboring them!" Bai Daqing cursed indignantly: "The Demon Emperor definitely harbors ill intentions."

"With the Demon Emperor protecting them, it's impossible for us to capture Sikong Yi and the others," Gao Fei sighed: "Sikong Yi and his group are indeed clever, knowing they cannot remain within the Human Territory, so they fled to the Demon Territory."

"His Majesty the Emperor is almost driven to despair over this matter, and I want to relieve his worry, but I just don't know what to do... Gao Fei, please give me some advice," Bai Daqing said anxiously.

"I would like to offer advice, but the main issue is that I don't have any ideas," Gao Fei said with a bitter smile: "My mind is in chaos right now, unable to think of anything." After pausing, Gao Fei continued: "City Lord, you needn't be too troubled. When we get to the mountain, there'll be a way through. We will think of something, and besides, I don't believe Sikong Yi and the others could hide in the Demon Territory forever."

"But what if they do?"

"...Even if they could hide in the Demon Territory for a lifetime, their lives wouldn't be peaceful."

"How so?"

"Think about it, Sikong Yi and his people are from the Human Race. Can they live comfortably in the Demon Territory? Those from the Demon Race will definitely see them as enemies!" Gao Fei said, "Don't forget, the Human Race and the Demon Race are adversaries!"

"Eh? You make some sense." Bai Daqing's eyes lit up, "How come I didn't think of that?"

Gao Fei smiled and said, "That's why I'm saying you don't need to worry too much. Sikong Yi and his people won't end up well."

"Sikong Yi and his companions are princes; they know many secrets. I'm worried they might tell these secrets to the Demon Emperor, and then the Human Territory will be in trouble."

"The Human Emperor must have already considered this and will take measures. You can rest assured."

Under Gao Fei's guidance, Bai Daqing felt a bit more relieved, not as troubled as before.

...

Several days later.

The Human Emperor Dugu Jingtian led his troops away from Xichu City, and halfway through, dismissed his army and returned to the Imperial City alone.

Bai Daqing, on the other hand, led Gao Fei back to Chaotic Wind City.

And so, a farce came to an end.

Returning to Chaotic Wind City once more, Bai Daqing looked at the familiar scene before him and was very emotional, "I never thought I'd have the chance to come back... Only when you've lost something do you realize how precious it is! Gao Fei, thank you! I really thank you! If it weren't for you, I would be dead by now."

"City Lord, you've thanked me many times already," Gao Fei said with a smile.

"Come on, I'll take you to see my daughter. It's been a long time since I've seen her, and I really miss her."

"Miss Bai will surely be very happy to see you."

"Of course."

Just as Gao Fei had said, when Mudan saw Bai Daqing, she immediately burst into tears, holding on to Bai Daqing and not letting go, crying her heart out. Sometimes, crying is not necessarily out of sadness; one can also cry from joy, like Mudan, who was very excited and happy at the moment and chose to express her overwhelming emotions through tears.

Bai Daqing's eyes were also somewhat moist; only those who truly experienced life and death could understand the beauty of being alive.

It took a long time for the father and daughter to slowly regain their composure.

"Dad, how did you manage to get out?" Mudan asked through her tears.

"It was Gao Fei who rescued me..." Bai Daqing briefly recounted the ordeal.

After hearing the story, Mudan walked over and knelt down on the ground, "Gao Fei, thank you!"

"Hey, what are you doing!" Gao Fei quickly helped Mudan to her feet, "City Lord Bai is kind to me, and saving him was the right thing to do."

"Gao Fei, from today on, you're my sworn brother. If you ever command me in the future, just say the word. Even if it's to lay down my life, I won't hesitate," Mudan said earnestly.

"Don't talk like that, I can't accept it..."

"You might think I'm joking, but I mean every word I say!"

"You..."

"That settles it! If you ever need me, just call and I'll be there," Mudan said straightforwardly, expressing her thoughts without reserve or artifice.
