Seeing Kaley calm down put a big smile on Rag's face. When he and Mingxi landed earlier, he could see Kaley panicking. She was also about to be overwhelmed by the beasts, so he came in to save her.
"And you might be Kaley." Rag removed his hand from Kaley's head and said, looking at her.
Kaley nodded her head, then said. "Ancest- Grandpa Rag, why are you here?"
"I am here to defend, silly. What do you think I can't get out of my hole? Hahaha." Rag joked with her, making Kaley completely let her guard down. She could now see what kind of man Rag was.
Kaley giggled. "No, Grandpa Rag. I wasn't worried about that. I wanted to ask about the head elder's presence."
"Oh, that fat idiot?" Rag bluntly said as he looked at Mingxi's fighting style as his belly-flopped.
"Pst," Kaley couldn't hold herself from hearing that, as it was the first time someone dared to insult Mingxi like this. She wanted to explain the reason to Rag but stopped when she saw many many beasts coming at them. "Grandpa Rag, let's talk later. We should kill these things first."
"Okay," Rag nodded his head and flew up. "Go all out. Grandpa is here to protect you."
A huge burden on Kaley's heart was lifted. She now decided to let her mind go free and let her body do whatever she wanted.
Rag saw his granddaughter killing the beast more easily and thoroughly while conserving energy. Rag stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction. 'She is letting go of all the worries in her mind. The way this is going, she might get into enlightenment. We got such a great and hardworking genius, but no one told me anything. There has to be something wrong, because why would someone panic when they encounter their own clan member.'
Rag contemplated, as he could guess something was going on that he didn't know. 'No matter what is going on, I won't nurture her fully, let me see who dares to raise their voice.'
On the other side, Mingxi could feel the hatred that was emanating from Fiona toward him. But he couldn't say anything, as it might reveal everything to Rag.
Fiona looked at Mingxi and could see he was behaving far from himself. If he had behaved like he always did, then he would have started a fight with her. She glanced at Rag, who was floating in the sky, watching Kaley fight and help her from time to time. 'So it is because of this old man. I didn't see this old man when I was in that clan, but it looks like he is some kind of senior and has great strength too.'
Then she looked at the beast horde ahead of her and thought with a dark face. 'But I am not like my past self either. Let me show you something else, Mingxi.'
Fiona floated high up in the air and said looking down. 'I can only use the first form of this technique, and it will consume half of my spiritual energy, but it's worth it.'
Fiona pressed her right hand forward and pointed her palm upward. White spiritual energy from her wings came flowing on top of her palm, transforming into a medium-sized ball. Then she cut off the spiritual energy coming from her wings and whispered. " [ Angelic Hymn - Heavenly Blade - Chaotic Child Form ] "
The spiritual energy ball revolving on her palm separated into six parts and transformed into short swords that danced chaotically behind her back, like a group of children waiting for their mothers' permission.
Fiona flew straight into the beast horde, and the blades behind her followed suit. The moment the blades noticed the beasts' presence, they separated from Fiona and went to kill as many beasts as possible like they were in a competition to see who could kill the most.
There was nothing that could stop these blades; even if the beast's skin was tough as steel, they would cut through it easily, and even if the beast was the fastest, they would catch them like it was a piece of pie for them.
Mingxi's eyes widened as he witnessed Fiona zoom past him and clear up the path ahead of him. 'What is her combat strength!? Except for the beasts above the Sixth Stage Golden Core Realm, she could kill the rest easily. How can this be? Was she always this strong?'
On the other hand, Rag had a different reaction. 'Oh, that is a good technique. Imbuing your spiritual senses into those blades and using your spiritual energy's attribute to its fullest. A very simple yet clever technique.'
Like this, they guarded that entire side while eventually going on the path to clearing it.
…
IceFire Clan, inside Gale's room.
"So you have finally arrived, Jasmine." Gale, who was resting on the bed, closing his eyes, said nonchalantly.
Jasmine emerged from the shadows cast by the moon. Coming out of it, she got up on the bed and rested beside Gale. He quickly wrapped his arms around her, knowing what she wanted.
Then Gale asked."So, how did it go?"
"There were some mishaps, and I wasn't able to complete it fully, but I got some results." Jasmine didn't lie or exaggerate about anything, just told everything truthfully.
"Good. Tell me, what did you find?" Gale nodded with contentment, knowing she couldn't complete this in one day, and he wasn't about that as there was still time left.
Jasmine tidied up her thoughts and started reporting.
Gale carefully listened to her report and raised his eyebrows as time passed by.
"Light Yellow Forest…" Gale mumbled this name as he started to discern that he was missing something in this puzzle.
"Why would these beasts come out of the Light Yellow Forest, and they looked like they were being manipulated-" Just as Gale said that, he came to a halt. His eyes widened as he started to remember something. "Didn't Bac also… Yes, that's it."
Jasmine became confused after seeing Gale like this again. He would do this from time to time when he found something big. "What did you find, Gale?"
Gale turned his head toward Jasmine and gave her a kiss on the lips. Then he said it with joy. "I think I know the mastermind."
