Chapter 1486 “Bai Yan’s Return (10)”
As the destructive bolts of lightning grew more and more intense as it continued to blast Winger’s unyielding body, the bird man’s outer appearance had fallen into a bloodied mess. He’s struggling to keep up his strength, but it’s obvious the strain was beginning to wear at his soul.
“You want to know what I did to deserve this? DO YOU?!!! I’LL TELL YOU ALL!!!” He yells with flaming ferocity.
“Two hundred years ago, there was a High Divine in the Celestial Palace who didn’t like Yun Ruo Xi and badmouthed her. As a consequence of that, she ordered me to kill that individual. I did, I killed him like she wished.”
“A hundred years ago, she saw a demonic beast that refused to obey her. Guess what, she ordered me to catch it for her, and I did like she wished. That poor creature, that demon got skinned alive and then was left for dead in the mountains by her!”
With every word that came out of Winger’s mouth, the more he trembled like he’s venting the inner guilt and hatred he had for himself due to all the sins he committed. Not even the thunder could hide his emotional voice upon mentioning that story.
He thought the old witch only wanted to contract that demonic beast, that’s why he helped her catch it. To think the real reason was just because the vile woman only wanted to vent her anger! Then by the time he figured out what has transpired, it was too late, the creature was long dead by then. Worst of all, he did the stupidest thing possible afterwards… He forgave her! How dumb could he have been? Forgiving such a vile evil being. Any normal person would’ve long left after that incident.
“Fifty years ago, there were two maids in the Celestial Palace gossiping about the Celestial Lord and claimed they wanted to be his consort. They disappeared the next day. HAHAHA! They didn’t disappear at all! I’m the one who offed them after Yun Ruo Xi ordered me to!”
Thirty years ago…”
As the details slowly came to light, Winger’s momentum continued to grow more murderous. He’s not able to muster more strength, but it doesn’t hinder his killing intent from showing and that’s exactly what’s happening.
“Now you tell me, why wouldn’t the thunderbolts come after me? And these evil things, they’re all done at the request of that Yun Ruo Xi! She also ordered me to kill the Demon Realm’s prince and princess! Fortunately I woke up in time and learned to refuse her request….”
At this point the only Keeper that hasn’t been toppled over was Keeper Ling, the grumpy old fella who continued to resist the bird man’s relentless assault. However, the fight was done after the final thunder came down on Winger. The bird man was on his last leg after that hit, causing him to throw up a mouthful of blood and falling to the ground.
Naturally Keeper Zun and the other toppled Keepers were all very much stunned in the face. They are willing to believe the old witch with their hearts, but this story, it’s too detailed to be false…. This was especially true when the Celestial Palace did experience many mysterious disappearances over the years, that’s also making the story more convincing.
How could such a good girl do such a bad thing?
“Madam Bai Ning…”
Winger wanted to say some more, sadly, his strength has been depleted by the thunder. Moreover, the strong woman herself wasn’t untouched by the impacting force either, it’s also hurting her.
“Winger, how can I help you? Is there any way to stop these lightnings?” Bai Ning asked anxiously.
The bird man could do nothing but shake his head. He knows well enough that unless he dies, these thunderous clouds would never disperse.
