Chapter 268 - Back Home.
After vanishing from the summit of the twilight mountain. The two people appeared near the gigantic archway they passed earlier. Yang Dao could feel that the essence of light and dark inside the two pillars has improved and strengthened a lot since last time.
A smile surfaced on his face, as if it was a good thing. Laohu Bai asked, "Why are you smiling?"
The boy replied, "Balance and imbalance also represent the two sides of a coin, no? We tried our best, despite that, there are elements of imbalance present within the realm and ourselves. This is the harmony of Dao." his soft voice and sharp eyes were following his thoughts completely.
Laohu Bai nodded with a smile and said, "Let us go back."
Yang Dao asked, "Eldest sent us here. How are we going back without contacting him?"
The white-haired girl pointed at his heart and her mind without replying. Her meaning could not be clearer. She was showing toward the telepathic connection they shared. However, Yang Dao only had the beginning level of understanding, thus he could not connect to the old man with mind waves.
Soon, a wormhole appeared in the void in front of them. Laohu Bai held his hand and said, "Going back is harder than coming here." As the two people walked forward.
Yang Dao did not ask why it was harder to go back, because when he came and Laohu Bai told him that something or someone has the power to attack the sacred realms, he was very surprised. So, given his IQ, it was not a problem that he put together the equation of travel.
The wormhole travels were still the same. Dark, misty, and filled with a strong pull from all sides. However, Yang Dao could sense that the realm also had its own force dragging him back. As soon as the two people stepped inside the wormhole, Laohu Bai waved her hand and closed the hole.
The force acting on them reduced a lot, but it was still difficult. Yang Dao walked forward, holding her hand in the dark void.
...
On the Dao Island, Atsuji Kurogame, Feng Yun, and Ryu Jinshi were waiting as they sat on the pedestals designated for them. Ryu Jinshi had a long Azure dragon tattoo on his body. He sat half-naked, Feng Yun said, "Second brother, please cover up yourself. Although you are like the wind, you know that too fast wind is also harmful."
Atsuji Kurogame said, "Ryu, talk to the Young Master when he comes back. Your curse can be lifted by him only and if you think about your pride and ego, then you will ruin our work."
The old man had a somber face and a deep voice. He was unhappy with Ryu Jinshi. The dragon spirit seemed to have run into some sort of problem recently and his behavior has changed a lot.
Ryu Jinshi said, "Eldest, I need to be put to rest. I need to learn to restrain. This freedom is not actually free. So, please I will talk to the Young Master when he comes back."
Atsuji Kurogame nodded. Feng Yun just closed her eyes and kept on meditating. The phoenix was the cultivation maniac. She did not care if the two people had problems. She will talk about it only when asked to.
As the three people were talking suddenly, two roars echoed on the island. The roars were not loud or threatening. Feng Yun opened her stunning eyes and said, "Young Master is here."
The three people nodded as they waited. However, suddenly Atsuji Kurogame's face changed. The other two caught the change in his expressions.
...
Yang Dao and Laohu Bai were walking through the dark void when the boy suddenly felt his heart tighten. He sensed an unprecedented danger approaching them. He was about to say something when Laohu Bai snorted hard.
The void trembled. Yang Dao held her slender hand even tighter and saw that a figure appeared in the void. The figure looked like a human. It was a dark outline, very vague. Yang Dao felt scared. The Dao Child looked at the figure's outline and experienced something that he had never sensed.
Suddenly, he sensed the figure move and attack him. Laohu Bai furrowed her brows and punched with her free hand. Yang Dao would not let the figure have its way with him. So the next moment, he waved his hand.
Inside the void, there were not elements present, but the laws worked fine. With a wave of his hand, a ray of light flashed in the void and the spear of light penetrated the figure, but it had no effect on the figure. The next moment, Laohu Bai punched harder and the figure's outline broke down into particles.
Yang Dao asked, "Baibai what was that?"
Laohu Bai said, "We will discuss after getting home, Dao." her voice was calm but a trace of caution was revealed from it.
Then she moved while holding Yang Dao's hand. The two moved faster. Suddenly the void trembled slightly, and a wormhole opened. Laohu Bai showed an expression of relief, but Yang Dao suddenly moved from her left to her right side.
The process was quick. Yang Dao did not even have the time to inform Laohu Bai when he sensed an attack coming from her right side. It was as if a dark spike aimed at Laohu Bai. The spike was made of the misty void.
The boy evoked his Dao eyes and the next moment, a bright light rod appeared in his eyes. Then he slammed the light rod against the spike. There was no sound coming from it, but Yang Dao could sense the dread of the enemy. Laohu Bai placed her hand on his shoulder and pushed. The strength of the white tiger was enough to counter the spike.
This time she did not wait to solve the enemy, but jumped out of the wormhole with Yang Dao.
...
On Dao Island, a wormhole appeared and two figures flashed out of it. Atsuji Kurogame closed the wormhole quickly. Yang Dao looked around, at this moment he was still shivering a little. As he saw that he was out of the void tunnel, he asked, "Baibai, are you..."
His words did not complete before he fainted.
