On the final day, everyone saw a glimmer of hope.
The focus of their discussion shifted to the arrangements they would make after they got out of this place.
Xiao Ze was naturally going to follow An Lin, and Tina and Xue Zhantian were also going to stay by An Lin's side as beast pets. Right now, the main topic of discussion was the three Blood Tribe mighty figures.
After all, it was unheard of for three supreme beings of the Blood Tribe to become the servants of a human. It was their first time witnessing such a thing! In the entire Kingdom of the Nine States, An Lin was probably the only one who could do this …
Cassidy and the others were now faced with two good choices. The first choice was to stay with An Lin as his servants, or the second choice was to return to the Dark Marshlands and continue to be high-ranking members of the Blood Tribe.
If they stayed with An Lin, they would have to face the hindrance of the Celestial Court. No one was brave enough to allow an enemy mighty figure to stay with them. Hence, if they wanted to stay with An Lin, they would have to get past the Celestial Court first.
The second choice was to return to their own forces. Cassidy and the others actually already had very high statuses in the Dark Marshlands, so they would definitely be able to play a very important role if they could become a secret ally of the Celestial Court.
Cassidy and the others were more inclined to the first choice, which was to get close to An Lin. Only by staying with An Lin would they be able to drink holy blood! The pavilion closest to the water enjoys moonlight first. They understood the principle of being in a favorable position.
However, An Lin wanted them to make the second choice. At the very least, they could go to the Blood Tribe and do something big with the Celestial Court before returning to the Celestial Court to express their loyalty. That way, the Celestial Court would be able to accept them more easily. That would be killing two birds with one stone.
In the end, after some discussion, they decided to have Cassidy and the others stay with the Blood Tribe for a year or two. If they discovered that something was amiss, they would immediately return to the Kingdom of the Nine States. An Lin still had to go to the Dark Marshlands for his end-of-semester exams, so it was always a good idea to have a few mighty figures to look after him.
As for the specific arrangements, he would have to ask Emperor Ziwei or even the Celestial Thearch. An Lin still wanted to continue his studies in the Celestial Court. This problem was unavoidable, so he could only deal with it this way.
Celestial Maiden He had also mentioned that it was not the first time that mighty figures from opposing forces had joined the Celestial Court. There were Return to Void Stage mighty figures from the Western Heavenly Dragon Forest and the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool who had pledged their loyalty to the Celestial Court. On the other hand, Cassidy, who was directly a human servant, was restricted by the bloodline contract, so it was actually easier for her to obtain the approval of the Celestial Court.
An Lin's Teleportation Talisman was golden, so he could teleport back anytime, anywhere. However, he still chose to teleport back with the others. After all, he had to make sure that his companions were safe before leaving.
Time passed by slowly, and the little whale was still tirelessly defending An Lin and the others from the spatial power.
"Holy Leader, we're going to be going our separate ways soon. Aren't you going to give us anything?" Cassidy asked with a scorching light in her eyes.
Tobias and Merlin also nodded in agreement as they looked at An Lin with anticipation in their eyes.
An Lin paused momentarily before giving them six milliliters of blood, two milliliters each, as a farewell gift.
"Take care of yourselves. Contact me as soon as you discover that something is amiss," An Lin said with a solemn expression.
The three Blood Tribe mighty figures accepted the blood with contentment on their faces.
"Don't worry, Holy Leader. Please don't turn your back on us when the time comes!" Cassidy said with a dainty smile.
An Lin shook his head with a smile. "You're already connected to me, so you can be considered half a family to me. How could I turn my back on you?"
"Following the Holy Leader is the best choice we've made. We'll definitely be able to break through the shackles of our current lives and ascend to a higher level!" Merlin licked a small drop of blood as his body trembled with elation.
"That's right! We're willing to die for the Holy Leader!" Tobias replied with an excited expression.
Celestial Maiden He and the others paced back and forth between the Blood Tribe and An Lin with astonishment on their faces. They clearly didn't expect the Blood Tribe to be so loyal to An Lin.
Before they knew it, everyone's teleportation talismans began to flash with a dazzling light.
Finally, it was time to leave.
An Lin held Xue Zhantian in his arms as he held onto Xiaoze's left hand. Tina sat on An Lin's shoulder as she gripped tightly onto An Lin's hair.
"Who would have thought that we would return under such circumstances?" Celestial Maiden He sighed with emotion.
"I didn't expect this either …" An Lin's brows furrowed as he heaved a faint sigh.
He still hadn't completed his mission, so he had to hurry up. Even though there was still a year to complete his mission, who knew where the golden Realm Essence Crystals would go after he handed them over? What if he ran out of Realm Essence Crystals?
"Amitabha, everything in this world has its own laws of fate. It's not necessarily a bad thing to return like this." Chang He put his palms together with a calm expression on his face.
An Lin couldn't help but agree with Chang He's words upon hearing this, especially the words "we've obtained". During this trip to the Ancient Tai Chu Realm, he had obtained many precious things, many of which couldn't even be measured in terms of wealth. For example, Cassidy and the others, Xue Zhantian and Tina, and his disciple Xiaoze.
Hmm … I wonder if that little whale counts as a reward.
An Lin pondered for a moment before deciding to bid farewell to the little whale.
"Little whale!" he yelled in a loud voice.
The little whale was focused on resisting the power of spatial compression, and it turned around upon hearing An Lin's call. "What is it, Grandpa?" it asked with a curious expression.
"Little whale, I'm going to leave this place soon. Live a good life with your mother!" An Lin bade farewell to it with a serious expression.
The little whale immediately panicked, and it waved its tail frantically. "Why?! Where are you going, Grandpa? Don't leave the little whale! Even though Mommy is in the wrong, she'll definitely come to her senses after some time. She won't treat you like this anymore … Don't leave me, please … "
The little whale became more and more panicked as it spoke, and tears began to flow uncontrollably from its eyes.
An Lin didn't know what to say, so he placed Xue Zhantian under his other arm and stroked the little whale's head with his right hand to find that it was smooth and smooth to the touch.
The little whale didn't resist, and it only continued to cry.
An Lin's emotions were a little conflicted. "I'm sorry, I lied to you. I'm actually not your grandfather, nor am I your father … I just accidentally infused some of the spatial power I absorbed into your body, giving you a sense of intimacy. Your only true family is your mother, understand? "
The little whale faltered slightly upon hearing this before violently shaking its head. "I don't care! I have your aura on me, so you're my family! Don't leave me! "
The little whale was extremely excited, as if it were a child throwing a tantrum.
However, right at this moment, a brilliant light suddenly erupted, and everyone's bodies began to slowly disintegrate into specks of light before being enshrouded by an extremely powerful power, upon which they completely disappeared from this world.
The little whale was rooted to the spot by An Lin's sudden disappearance, and it stared at the empty continent as it murmured to itself, "Daddy, Daddy … Where did you go?"
The Heavenly Void Beast detected the disturbance within its body, and it immediately projected its consciousness into its body, only to discover an empty continent as well as the little whale swimming by itself.
"Where is he?" it asked with a confused expression.
"Waah … Mommy! Daddy ran away! Daddy doesn't want us anymore, waah … "The little whale began to bawl again.
The large whale: "…"
