Demon King: Hero, don't run away!

Chapter 1567: Chapter 1567: This Isn’t What I Expected

The sound of the white centipede continued to echo beside Bai Jin’s ear:

"You know it, don’t you?

The barrier used by the Demon King has a locking function.

He is the Goddess’ Apostle, who else would it lock onto but him?

Once locked, even high-level magicians need quite some time to leave the barrier.

When that man tries to escape, he’ll definitely crash into the barrier and be bounced back."

With lips tightly pressed together, Bai Jin had a vague realization of what the white centipede was saying.

But...

"He will definitely be okay.

He promised me.

In the past, he was quite steady, he would never do anything without certainty.

He stayed behind for a reason."

The white centipede let out a loud laugh:

"It’s all a lie!

He said that deliberately so you could escape the dangerous area without getting involved!

Do you really believe him?

You have fought against the Four Heavenly Kings before, you should know how strong they are.

The Demon King is stronger than them!

Even one of the Four Heavenly Kings gave you trouble.

With the Demon King coming, the other two Heavenly Kings are also present.

Do you really think that man can escape from under their noses?

I’ve experienced many eras and have seen the power of the Demon King, whose Secret Treasures are countless.

If he wants, there are thousands upon thousands of ways..."

Before the white centipede finished speaking, a shining Light Arrow cut through the sky and hit the rooted front of the Magic Wand [Sigh Seed] with precision.

[Sigh Seed] fell off Bai Jin’s hands, and the voice echoing in Bai Jin’s heart abruptly stopped.

The Magic Wand spun constantly and embedded itself into the lawn.

Looking at her empty hand, Bai Jin didn’t know what expression to wear.

Lotcar’s steps came to a sudden halt, Iyas stood up from Lotcar’s back and shouted loudly at Bai Jin suspended in mid-air:

"Are you alright, Bai Jin!

Were you scared just now?

Seeing you holding the Magic Wand without action, I wondered if the elf within was saying something to bewilder you, so I took action.

Remember what Yang Yu said!

Unless you’re clear about the Wand’s essence, don’t easily believe what it says!

The situation now is special.

The more special it is, the more others will try to take advantage!

Don’t give them a chance!

Yang Yu would be heartbroken if you easily believed slander.

If you turn into our enemy... the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Fixing her gaze on the Wand embedded in the lawn, Bai Jin put her hand on her throbbing heart, repeatedly questioning herself to confirm her true thoughts.

After a long time, as if having resolved something, Bai Jin spoke to Iyas from mid-air:

"It’s okay now!

I will definitely not be deceived by that Wand.

The power of that Wand is necessary.

Though there’s risk, it’s not something to be abandoned because of it!"

Speaking these words, Bai Jin flew toward the Wand.

Grasping the Magic Wand [Sigh Seed], Bai Jin gently pulled it from the ground.

Having left Bai Jin’s side, the white centipede did not perceive Bai Jin’s recent psychological change.

The white centipede realized it had to deal not only with Yang Yu, the Goddess’ Apostle, but also his other companions.

The white centipede remained silent.

Its words were mostly spoken.

Whether it could influence Bai Jin to make a choice beneficial to it, the white centipede decided to wait and see.

The white centipede was confident that Bai Jin, who had been by Yang Yu’s side for so long, knew how skilled he was at disguises, which disguises were flawless and which were riddled with holes.

Yang Yu casually letting Bai Jin and others leave was when his disguise was full of holes...

Bai Jin deeply loved Yang Yu, she would never allow herself to let him perish, she would surely...

Before the white centipede could finish thinking, Bai Jin took out the storage bag obtained from the Dragon God Conference and threw the Magic Wand Sigh Seed into it.

The white centipede was filled with questions, crawling from the Wand’s rooted front end, but before it could speak to Bai Jin again, the entrance of the storage bag was completely sealed, locking it in the Different Space.

Confirming the entrance was completely closed, Bai Jin quickly walked toward Iyas and the others and spoke:

"Iyas, Lotcar, Qiuye... I have a few things I’d like to ask your opinions on..."

Seeing Bai Jin and the others stop on the spot, Tico and Li Yan also approached.

Upon hearing what Bai Jin and the others were discussing, Li Yan put his hands in his white beard, appearing thoughtful.

Bai Jin openly shared with Lotcar and the others what the Wand had attempted to persuade her:

"There is a possibility Yang Yu wants to let us escape safely, but we can’t rule out that he might truly have a way to escape the Demon King’s grasp.

I can’t determine what his true intentions are.

But I want to go back and help him!

I know this time the enemy is extraordinary, and understand that returning might become a burden to him, but I don’t want to regret it...

If he truly uses the trust we’ve always had in him, wanting to bear everything alone...

If he dies like that, I will never forgive him!

"

Tico looked firm, being the first to agree with Bai Jin:

"I understand Bai Jin’s feelings. An ordinary greeting might become a final memory. If there’s a choice to rescue, I would definitely..."

Qiuye was the second to agree with Bai Jin:

"I don’t know how strong the Demon King is...

But it’s because of him that the world is this way.

I am prepared to face the Demon King."

Iyas naturally agreed with Bai Jin’s idea as well:

"I don’t know what to say... Always feel indebted to that guy, this life is essentially given by him."

Oddly enough, it was the initially insightful Lotcar who hesitated the most, but after a while, he too understood:

"We all seem to be on the same page.

I suddenly remembered, Yang Yu once said he didn’t want his companions to sacrifice easily. When it’s his turn, he’s straightforward.

I respect Yang Yu’s decision.

But...

Yang Yu once said we are equals, there is no hierarchy.

There are things we can decide on our own when he’s not present.

The premise is, each of us must understand the consequences of doing so, and be willing to bear them.

Every one of you should understand these consequences clearly.

Think it through properly if you haven’t.

According to what Yang Yu said, think of the worst possible outcome!

If you’re unable to accept the worst outcome, staying is also fine!"

Everyone present exchanged smiles.

They knew well the terrible consequences of going back for the rescue, but also understood that this path might be the only one leading to the best outcome.
