The long night finally ended and the sunrise shone brightly as if to signal a new beginning although no one was sure if it was a good or bad start. As soon as the fifth elder Su sheng and Su Feng returned, the Su family couldn't contain their excitement, instantly they all ran and hugged each other with tears running down their cheeks no one cared to maintain their dignity as masters as they were just glad they were able to unite return.

The haughty Su Miou Lin was crying like a child and kept repeating the word 'sorry' while being hugged by the Fifth Elder, she only found out what really happened after Su whose uncle told her everything and she had also seen terrifying Beasts trying to barge in, luckily. The array planned by the Hei Shen sect managed to restrain them while he heard thunderous roars and screams everywhere like a nightmare that he couldn't wake up from.

She thought she would never see her grandfather, uncle, and first cousin again, and after how they separated, Su Miou Lin couldn't bear to imagine that those would be her last words to the fifth elder and Su Feng.

Thankfully they returned safely, Su Miou Lin kept promising that she would change for the better. The Fifth elder could see this time his granddaughter seriously want to change he was glad but sad because of what she had experienced, she must be so afraid.

Because Jin Kai didn't have many clan members left and after this, there were fewer and fewer, the thousands of members had been reduced to only about two or three hundred people. all of them that still remain were deeply distraught, stressed, and scared only after the third elder hollered that everything was over and save to go out did they dare to open their front gate, and the sight that welcome them made them shiver.

Wherever they look they saw pieces of human limbs, and the ground and wall were stained with blood, seeing this they did not dare to come out but when they saw the third elder with the fifth elder and their people discussing outside with the Hei Shen sect members they feel more assured to step out their feet outside, however, the women and children remain indoors after seeing the bloody chaos outside they didn't want their wives, children, and concubines to faint after seeing this.

The fifth elder gathered all the patriarchs from every family and explained what happened including what Jin Kai had done, they didn't want to believe it but the evidence in front of their eyes could not be lied to.

Meanwhile, elsewhere Jin Hao, Bei Li Yan, Jin Hua, and the others exchanged what information they had found.

"So the Jin family was all wiped out." Jin Hao's voice remained calm and steady as he wiped his face and neck with a wet cloth perhaps because he had heard it from Jin Kai himself.

"There's not even a single child left?" Jin Hua's eyes widened in shock, she knew there were several small children in the Jin Family, even toddlers. she couldn't imagine that they all died at the hands of Jin Kai.

Jin Hua looked down feeling complicated, the family responsible for the death of her mother and Jin Hao's mother had died tragically but she didn't feel happy at all, on the contrary, she felt very sad.

"I know it's hard...Don't be so sad" Bei Li Yan patted Jin Hua's shoulder gently.

"I don't understand...all of those children...why?" confusion, anger, and sadness filled her eyes.

Bei Li Yan sighed, he summon a small stool from his ring and then make Jin Hua sit on it then Bei Li Yan speak in a resignation tone"He is desperate and desperate people will do desperate things, you may never understand…but I think that's a good thing for you, I hope you will never understand that kinda desperation in your life" Bei Li Yan then put a cloak around Jin Hua shoulder.

Jin Hua didn't know if it was Bei Li Yan's words or the warmth of the cloak on her shoulders but she felt much better, although she still didn't understand at least she could accept Jin Kai's decision.

In the meantime, Jin Hao had changed his tattered robe into a new one, and quietly pensive with his thoughts, Bei Li Yan then approached him.

"Army of dark creatures huh, your stepbrother is really nuts," Bei Li Yan sneered, he didna know if he want to praise Jin Kai or curse him.

"What worries me is whether we succeed in stopping Lao Min Na's plan or are we too late...." the corners of Bei Li Yan's eyes creased with concern.

"I don't know...I hope so but I can't stop thinking about what Jin Kai said about Lazarus's plan" Jin Hao sighed heavily.

"Lory said, Lazarus might have the same predicament as Lory when she first cast to our world meaning he might lose some of his power so perhaps he used Lao Min Na to regain his strength he gives that woman knowledge and power also turning her back her time so she can re-do her mistakes, I have to admit if the plan went well we will have a hard time fight against Lao Min Na, heck we might choose to work with her instead cause we have to admit it's a lucrative deal"

"Well, that's will explain why Lao Min Na so confidently proposed cooperation with Our Lord, she knew our Lord's identity and his old illness. It's most likely that she will use the power of Lazarus to cure our Lord's poison and if that happens..." Jin Hao holds his breath.

"Something much worse than what happened with Jin Kai…" Bei Li Yan's voice was filled with heavy emotion.

"So much worst..." Jin Hao's add-in.

"With Jin Kai, the Demon plays with his fears and insecurities but with our Lord at that time...I hate to admit that it might be even easier to rope him in because milord has no attachment to the world or the people, the world can crash and burn he won't care, and we.. we might just follow him blindly because we owe too much to our Lord...."

Bei Li Yan looked down and mumbled weakly "We are… and I guess we will, especially if we take the Lao Min Na pill, just like them we will become more detached with our own conscience," a chilling thought swept over him as to what would they might become.

"But Lory came..." Bei Li Yan suddenly said.

"Yes... she's come" Jin Hao smiled faintly, "And I think that's how the game change..."

"You think the Demon changed his plans after he failed to bring our Lord to his side" Bei Li Yan was dumbfounded.

"We all think madam is protected by our Lord but the truth is she was the one who protects our lord, not only did she heal Milord illness, she also teaches him the meaning of life....a reason to live that none of us can give our Lord no matter how long we have stood beside him" Jin Hao subconsciously clenched his fists "If Lao Min Na can get our master, she doesn't need Jin Kai or anyone else, she will have enough resources to create the dark army with Hei Shen sect power alone, and with us backing her up nothing will stand in her way to dominate the world"

"That BITC*!" Bei Li Yan smacked his fists and shout furiously, Bei Li Yan cannot imagine if that really happened then that means they would all become Lao Min Na and Lazarus puppets. And it was certain that they would be taken full advantage of them as she did to the Misty Lake Clan.

"Whether Lory realizes it or not she has protected us from Lao Min Na and Lazarus' evil plans even though Lory always says she is guilty of bringing her demons into our world but I don't think it's entirely her own fault, it wasn't her fault that Lao Min Na fell to Lazarus' seduction, it's also not her fault that we are all easily manipulated with power and wealth, even if Lory is guilty, we also can't escape responsibility for our own greed." Jin Hao said.

"Of course, it's not entirely her fault, no matter what people say, she's just an ordinary young girl, who likes to eat sweets, play with her friends, and make jokes, so why should she bear the weight of the world on her? ?" he's been through a lot so why should he suffer more than us!" Bei Li Yan shouted angrily.

Initially, he accepted Lory because Zhao Li Xin loved him and also because Lory had never used Zhao Li Xin or hurt him but after he got to know Lory he found Lory very kind, friendly, and also very positive in seeing life because of that Bei Li Yan did not expect Lory's life filled with difficulty and despair he didn't expect the woman who was always smiling broadly to experience such a huge loss even by her standards.

Since then Bei Li Yan admired Lory, even more, he admired her fortitude, toughness, and also her wisdom in dealing with all the crazy obstacles she faced.

"I know...that's why we must return immediately to our Lord's sides and report everything we know" Jin Hao's expression tightens with urgency.

"Brother, are you going to leave?" Jin Hua suddenly came to him.

Jin Hao smiled flatly "I'm the white Dragon Palace King, I belong to the Hei Shen sect, I should go to where my Lord is" his words were calm but firm.

"Then I come with you as well..." Jin Hua said.

"You don't live here?" Bei Li Yan was shocked.

Jin Hua shakes her head "The Jin family has gone, and as a part of the Jin family I cannot stay after what Jin kai did"

"What happened wasn't your fault?" Jin Hao said.

"Maybe not, but as the Jin family I have to take responsibility, after all....I've always wanted to leave this place but I can't give up my responsibilities to this place, but with this, I can finally let go of the shackles that entangled me" Jin Hua sounds ad but at the same time she feels relieved.

Jin Hao squints his eyes "Are you sure, the place that we go is very dangerous, there's a possibility we all going to die" he bluntly reminds her of the danger.

'',

"Jin Hua pressed her lips together then say: "If what Jin Kai aid is true then there's no place is save, therefore I rather fight the Demon with you or die trying" her expression brimmed with determination by now Jin Hao and Bei Li Yan know that nothing can persuade her.

"Well...she's not wrong?" Bei Li Yan shrugged as he speaks for Jin Hua.

Jin Hao massages his temple tiredly and let out a long exhale, Jin hao then opens his arms and says in resignation: "So, come at your own risk then"

Jin Hua beamed then she jump and hugged Jin hao happily "Thank you, brother!"

Bei Li Yan then gives Jin Hao a look saying 'Softie'

And Jin Hao answered with a cold snort.
