"What does that have to do with you?" Leo Li snapped.
"If he has mastered the Tenfold Oblivion Arrow, then he's the chosen successor of Holy Master Grace Summers! I can't keep fighting him." Noctis said.
Lily Bai glanced at Damian Black. "The Holy Master's successor? That impressive?"
Damian Black didn't move, his face expressionless.
"Are you kidding me? How could he possibly be the Holy Master's chosen successor?" Leo Li retorted. "He just stole the Tenfold Oblivion Arrow! You know as well as I do—half his bloodline and the arrow's Fiend Pearl come from the same place! That's the only reason he can use the Tenfold Oblivion Arrow."
Noctis: "That's actually true."
"So, let's get on with it." Leo Li said. "There are Summers Clan relatives in Skycrest City—make sure to wipe them all out, leave only one alive to spread the word."
Noctis: "The commotion has already alerted people. They'll definitely notify the Divine Race to send protection. Better pick a new target."
Leo Li frowned. "Fine. When I have time, I'll investigate and pick a new location."
Noctis nodded.
"Well, I'm heading back." Leo Li smiled ingratiatingly, "Your Majesty the Demon Emperor's Mirror Shift Technique is getting better and better—almost identical to Baxa now."
Noctis didn't react, clearly not fond of him. "You can go now."
Leo Li nodded and turned to leave.
Lily Bai controlled her puppet and followed.
Chestnut was one of the lowest-ranking little demons in this pocket realm.
His status was rock bottom too.
What he knew, besides the basics, was pretty much worthless.
He didn't even know how to leave the pocket realm.
Every time, he just tagged along with that black spirit ship to get out.
Normally, they were absolutely forbidden from leaving this pocket realm.
If you wanted out of here, you had to stick close to Leo Li...
Leo Li left the Demon Emperor's Palace and headed straight for the exit of the pocket realm.
Lily Bai and Damian Black slipped out of little demon Chestnut's Life-pouch, cloaked themselves, and followed Leo Li in flight.
As for Chestnut, Damian Black stuffed him into the Life-pouch.
They planned to take him along.
Just in case he blabbed.
But as they flew, Lily Bai hesitated, then suddenly pointed in the opposite direction of Leo Li and said, "I think we should go that way instead."
Azure Flame and Baxa's injuries in here made Damian Black deeply anxious and upset.
Right now, he was desperate to get out.
Otherwise... Lily Bai might get hurt.
He dragged Lily Bai along and followed Leo Li.
"Hey! This direction feels off. Following Leo Li might not get us out," Lily Bai shouted.
Damian Black: "Shut up."
Lily Bai wasn't as strong as him, couldn't resist, so she let him go ahead.
It was very easy for Leo Li to leave.
He found a spot with no one around, and slipped through as if passing through a curtain of water.
Damian Black charged at the same spot Leo Li had gone through.
But he was bounced back.
His forehead was red from the impact.
There was a barrier.
Lily Bai gave him a chilly look, pointed in the opposite direction, "Told you we should've gone that way!"
Damian Black's face was thunderous.
Lily Bai grinned, "Just follow me!"
Along the way, she cast divinations twice more, and finally they met a beautiful Peony flower spirit.
She carried a basket full of flowers, humming as she walked along.
The two followed her, then slipped out through a hidden patch of flowers.
They left the pocket realm.
There was no barrier here.
It was basically a dog hole.
"See? See!" Lily Bai's face was full of pride. "We got out without a scratch, didn't we?"
Damian Black's face was expressionless.
"I'm a koi, you know! A lucky koi! Anyone who sticks with me gets lucky! I bring fortune to my family, and fortune to my husband. Whoever marries me, their ancestors must've burned a lot of incense!" Lily Bai boasted.
