Entrusting Felix Xi to Grace

Grace's upper body was still able to move.

She struggled to pull out the antidote for the Red Truth Pill and had Ray deliver it to Felix Xi, stuffing it into his mouth.

Felix Xi gradually regained consciousness.

The two of them looked at the fierce battle raging on the hillside. Besides praying to the spirits for Elder Samuel Tang to win, there was nothing else they could do...

Drake Abyss.

After the Celestial Emperor had gone through a great battle, his body never fully recovered.

After the Spirit Festival, he shut himself away to recuperate again.

As for the matters in Drake Abyss, Crown Prince Evan Xiao was handling almost everything.

Evan Xiao was currently discussing matters with several dragon lords and young dragon lords.

"The Demon Clan has been making frequent moves lately, and they've gotten quite close to the Qilin Divine Clan," said Azure Dragon Lord Ken Lee (father of Leon Zane). "I suggest we attack the Demon Clan, make an example of them, and put an end to the restless ambitions of the other clans."

"All the different clans are worried because the Drake Abyss Nine Waters are drying up. Especially with the King's Spirit Tree slowly withering away, everyone is on edge," Evan Xiao said. "What we need to do most now is figure out why the Nine Waters are drying up."

"We've been trying our best to investigate, but we have absolutely no leads!" Guardian Drake Lord Yin Zhu—yes, the same young guy Evan Xiao once worshipped at the temple, the one who got struck by lightning—looked so worried he was about to go gray.

"I'll—" Evan Xiao started, then suddenly paused.

He felt his reverse scale being tugged—fiercely.

Damn it, what's Grace stirring up now?

"Your Highness, is something wrong?" Yin Zhu asked.

"I'll personally look into this," Crown Prince Evan Xiao said. "The rest of you, keep an eye on your own clans. As long as nothing major happens, let things be for now. If we can figure out the truth behind the Nine Waters drying up and restore them, everyone will settle down naturally."

"But the Demon Clan is just way too arrogant," Ken Lee said.

"I also think now isn't the time to send out troops." Leon Zane was always at odds with his father, just for the fun of it.

Ken Lee glared at Leon Zane, but he ignored it and continued, "If we send out troops now, it'll just throw everything into chaos. If you ask me, ignoring them is the best counterattack."

Evan Xiao glanced at Leon Zane and nodded slightly.

Meanwhile, Grace was still tugging at him.

Was she trying to lure him over on purpose?

He wasn't about to fall for that!

Evan Xiao continued with the meeting...

...

Elder Samuel Tang and Eugene Ye were fighting so fiercely it was like the sky and earth were turned upside down.

In the end, Elder Samuel Tang narrowly prevailed and killed Eugene Ye.

Eugene Ye tumbled down the hillside, landing right at Grace and Felix Xi's feet.

Elder Samuel Tang was gravely injured, his face pale as gold paper. He staggered toward them, sword in hand, and cast a spell to break their Soul Seal.

"Elder Samuel Tang!" The two hurried to support him.

Grace quickly searched her space for healing medicine to give him.

But Elder Samuel Tang waved his hand and said, "It's no use! Eugene Ye shattered my Genesis Core Pill. There's no saving me!"

"What?" Felix Xi was struck as if by lightning. "Elder Samuel Tang—"

"Felix Xi, listen to me!" Elder Samuel Tang interrupted him.

"Okay! I'm listening!" Felix Xi said, his eyes red.

"That man just now was one of the three top masters of the Ye Clan, Eugene Ye! He's Leon Young's confidant!" Elder Samuel Tang said. "Leon Young is starting to suspect your identity, so you must be careful!"

"Okay..." Felix Xi said.

Elder Samuel Tang looked at Grace and said, "You have inherited the Kee's Legacy, so you must fulfill his last wish! Protect Felix Xi! I leave him to you!"
