Chapter 1425 The Lost Temple

1425 The Lost Temple

Max smiled, "I don't think it's entirely up to you," and turned towards Baba Jezda, "The old guy said he will agree to your demands if you bring me along."

Her eyes immediately widened, "I-Is that the truth?" she stuttered which was a first for her.

"Of course, I swear on my mark!"

"Alright."

"WHAT?!"

Hao Xuan couldn't believe what he was seeing, "He threatened me in front of everyone! Do you really think he won't go through with it? He's the CHAMPION of Madness and Insanity!"

Baba Jezda shook her head once, "He won't, he can't. His master has already agreed to my demands and as such, no harm can come to you until we are finished with our business."

'Right, and it doesn't matter what happens after that, huh?' n/-O//v.(E/)l-(B(.1.-n

Hao Xuan ground his teeth indignantly. Whatever 'deal' she had made with the Red King tumped her need for him, which was saying a lot considering how much depended on his success.

Baba Jezda signaled for Elder Taisi to open the portal while they got in position.

Elder Taisi would be the vanguard followed by Baba Jezda, Hao Xuan, Claudia, Lord Yami, Max, and finally Elder Illya in that order.

The old roots came out of the ground and connected together to make a gateway. But he couldn't do it alone this time so Baba Jezda came forward to help, handing him a small splinter taken from the coffin hanging from Claudia's back.

"I'm okay...I said I'M OKAY!" Hao Xuan waved at her while getting up to his feet.

It was just the two of them on a floating piece of some bricked wall, surrounded by countless other pieces swirling around the air while slowly being pulled toward the center of a vortex of lethal energies. (Reference Image posted in discord)

"Where- WHERE ARE THE OTHERS??"

"I DON'T KNOW," she shook her head while looking around, "IT WAS JUST THE TWO OF US WHEN I WOKE UP!"

The small piece they were on shook and almost flipped over while getting closer to the vortex.

"WE NEED TO MOVE!" he yelled while looking around for a stable enough object that could support both of their weights but before he could do so, a shadow slipped in from the corner of his line of sight and landed directly in front of them blocking their path.

"THERE YOU ARE! I WAS WORRIED SICK YOU GUYS!" Max opened his arms as if welcoming them.

"Motherf-"

Hao Xuan prepared himself for a rough battle but Max looked over his shoulder to yell, "I FOUND THEM!"

The very next moment Lord Yami appeared beside them. He created a barrier that held both Claudia and Hao Xuan before swiftly jumping down into the green clouds.

It happened too fast for any of the younger generation to register the whole process but by the end Max, Claudia, and Hao Xuan were standing on the bridge surrounded by the elders and Baba Jezda.

"That was my mistake, my lady. I could not contain his consciousness during the jump. It was...unlike anything I have ever witnessed," Elder Taisi said with a deep bow, stealing a glance from Hao Xuan.
