Chapter 484: Chapter 482: Kill the Young, Here Comes the Old

The moment she finished speaking, Javier Sinclair, standing beside her, said, "Good riddance. Now you won’t have to be bothered by her anymore." It wasn’t that she was particularly powerful, but her constant, pointless appearances were irritating to anyone.

As he spoke, Javier Sinclair took her hand. "Forget about her, my love. Let’s go home. Our daughter might be awake by now." He’d only been out for a short while, but he already missed his little sweetheart. He had to go back and hold his little princess.

Celeste Grant nodded slightly. "Alright, my Archfiend, let’s go home."

As she spoke, her gaze swept over Kaelan, who was still kneeling on the ground, his hair disheveled. "Fellow Daoist, we’ll be on our way now."

"Of course." Kaelan finally looked up and rose from the ground. He turned to Celeste Grant and Javier Sinclair, his expression sincere as he thanked them again. "Safe travels, Fellow Daoists. You saved my life today, and I am eternally grateful. If there’s ever anything I can do for you in the future, I will do everything in my power to repay you."

As he spoke, he retrieved an item from his Storage Ring. It was a Magic Treasure that looked like a single feather, shimmering with an iridescent light and radiating an ancient aura.

"This is a great treasure of my Pavonine Clan, the Blue Feather. I heard you have a child. Please, accept this as a gift for her."

Celeste Grant glanced at it.

’It truly is a rare treasure.’ But she didn’t accept it. She could tell the man wasn’t well-off at the moment. This treasure might be the only valuable thing he had left; it was better for him to keep it for his own protection. ’I may be greedy, but I draw the line somewhere.’

With this in mind, she spoke up. "No, no, we couldn’t possibly. We appreciate the sentiment, Fellow Daoist, but this is too valuable for us to accept. I can see things aren’t easy for you right now, and you might still have enemies pursuing you. Since this is a great treasure of the Pavonine Clan, you should be the one to keep it for protection. What we did today was a small effort, so there’s no need for such thanks. Besides, I already had a grudge against that Morvane, so you could say this was mutually beneficial."

But Kaelan truly wanted to repay them.

His mother had taught him since childhood to repay a drop of kindness with a gushing spring. If not for these two helping him today, he would have lost his life here, never mind getting his revenge.

At this thought, he quickly began to speak.

"But..."

Before he could finish, Celeste Grant raised a hand to stop him.

"No ’buts.’ My husband and I don’t lack protective treasures. To us, one more or one less makes no difference. But for you, it could save your life, so you must keep it. Besides, you said you want to be our friend. That’s all the more reason for us not to take your things."

Javier Sinclair glanced at him and added, "My wife is right. Keep it for yourself. We have no use for it."

’He truly had no need for such trinkets.’

’From the Ancient Times to the present, he had amassed thousands, if not tens of thousands, of treasures. Any single one of them was a devastating weapon. So, this treasure from the Pavonine Clan? It was really nothing. He usually used Magic Treasures of this caliber to decorate his walls.’

’He really wasn’t lacking.’

Kaelan was deeply moved.

"Thank you!"

He cupped his fists.

"I will take my leave for now. Let’s get a drink together when we have the chance."

Javier Sinclair replied, "I can agree to that."

Just as they were speaking, thunderclouds converged in the sky, forming a massive vortex. Lightning tore across the heavens, and in an instant, the sky turned dark and grim. The oppressive atmosphere felt as if the very heavens were about to collapse.

That is, the cultivators of this realm felt the oppressive atmosphere. Javier Sinclair and Kaelan, however, felt nothing.

At this moment, Javier Sinclair tilted his head up slightly, his gaze fixed on the firmament.

"Who is it this time?"

He raised an eyebrow slightly.

’This aura?’

’It’s quite similar to that of the recently deceased Jocelyn Grant.’

’No... there’s also the aura of a Golden Crow.’

’One... two... three? Their bloodlines are impure, but it looks like it’s not just Morvanes this time. There are Golden Crows, too. Looks like we’ve stirred up the Celestria’s nest of crows.’

Kaelan glanced up at the sky.

Sensing the familiar, overwhelming presence, his pupils contracted.

Kaelan’s immediate reaction was to stretch out an arm, shielding Celeste Grant and Javier Sinclair behind him. He glanced at the couple and said, "Fellow Daoists, you two must leave first. This is a grudge between me and them; I can’t drag you into it. If Blackeye of the Morvane clan finds out you were the ones who saved me, she will surely not spare you."

’Even without him saying who Blackeye was, Celeste could guess. This Blackeye from the Morvane clan had to be Jocelyn Grant’s mother, the one who was a concubine in the Immortal Realm.’

’So this was a case of "kill the young one, and the old one shows up"!’

’In that case, Jocelyn Grant’s mother in the Lower Realm—that Eve Warren—was just an insignificant extra compared to this new arrival. A truly unimportant character.’

Celeste Grant glanced at Kaelan, who had put himself between them and the danger. ’When danger appeared, he hadn’t tried to flee; instead, he urged us to go first. His character is actually quite decent. I guess I didn’t misjudge him.’

’If he had been the type to stab you in the back at the first opportunity, she would have run him through without a second thought.’

"Insolence! You whelp, you dared to kill my daughter! I will see you dead!"

At this time, an enraged roar echoed from the heavens. It was a woman’s voice, filled with boundless fury. At the sound, the very earth began to tremble. Dark clouds pressed down from above, crackling with lightning and booming with thunder. The sky itself was a perfect reflection of her mood.

Simultaneously, a massive palm strike descended from the heavens, aimed directly at Kaelan.

He held out his hand and bellowed, "Sword, to me!"

The next moment, the very sword that had run Jocelyn Grant through flew into his hand with a WHOOSH. Kaelan gripped its hilt, gathering his cultivation to meet the descending power head-on.

BOOM...

The two powers collided, unleashing a catastrophe upon the surroundings. The saying "when Immortals fight, mortals suffer" is no empty platitude. These were true Celestria, and their power was not something the cultivators of the Demonic Domain could hope to withstand.

Seeing that the force of their clash was spreading and would likely devastate the Demonic Domain and harm the innocent, Javier Sinclair calmly wrapped an arm around Celeste Grant’s waist. In an instant, the two of them appeared outside the battlefield.

Javier Sinclair simply raised his hand and gave a light snap of his fingers.

The next moment, with him as the epicenter, a Barrier enveloped the entire Demonic Domain. Now, even if the combatants turned the heavens upside down, they wouldn’t cause the slightest bit of damage.

’This is my domain now.’

’Javier Sinclair was fiercely protective of his own. Every living creature within the borders of the Demonic Domain, down to the last worm in the soil, belonged to him.’

Outside the Barrier, Kaelan had already flown into the air to confront the newcomer. In mere moments, he and Blackeye, who had just descended to this realm, had already exchanged countless blows.

"This is quite the show."

Celeste Grant stretched out her hand.

"Old Fiend Sinclair, got any sunflower seeds?"

Javier Sinclair reached out and placed a handful of sunflower seeds in her palm. ’Good thing I always carry some,’ he thought.

Countless Celestial Guards of the Celestria appeared.
