“Is that Rona?”
Qin Chen frowned and sent a voice transmission, “Saroya, go out and take a look.”
“Has the master come out of seclusion?” Saroya was taken aback, but quickly left the cave dwelling as instructed by Qin Chen. The moment he appeared at the entrance of the cave, he saw Rona kneeling there.
“Lord Yerosha.” Upon seeing Yerosha, Rona hurriedly exclaimed, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.
Seeing Yerosha again made her feel as if she had reunited with a family member, filled with excitement.
“It’s you?” Yerosha furrowed his brow, “What are you doing here?”
Initially, lord Qin Chen had saved Rona, but she showed no sign of gratitude and had followed her aunt away, leaving Yerosha quite dissatisfied with her.
Rona's expression stiffened. Reflecting on her previous actions, she couldn't help but lower her head slightly, revealing a trace of guilt. However, thinking of her current situation, she quickly raised her head, “Lord Yerosha, I came here to escape disaster before and did not dare to easily trust anyone or cause trouble for you two, which is why I left with my aunt. But who would have thought that the Taiyi Sacred Land…”
Before she could finish her sentence, a streak of light suddenly swept from a distance and appeared in the realm.
It was Elder Kelu from the Taiyi Sacred Land.
Seeing Rona kneeling in front of Yerosha, Kelu's expression turned grim. While flying in Southern Origin City, he was bound by too many restrictions and unable to exert his full strength. He had rushed here, but unexpectedly failed to stop Rona in time.
Upon seeing Kelu, Rona's expression changed dramatically, her eyes revealing a look of terror.
“Brother Yerosha, I didn't expect us to meet again. After our last parting, I never found the opportunity to catch up with you, and I am truly ashamed,” Kelu said, clasping his hands towards Yerosha and managing a smile as he landed.
He then turned his gaze towards Rona and sternly scolded, “Rona, the Taiyi Sacred Land has treated you well. You were sheltered by us when you were being hunted by the Skeleton Society, yet you took this opportunity to steal the treasure of Lord Mo Tian Li from the Taiyi Sacred Land, and even ran away without permission…”
His thunderous voice echoed throughout the realm, reverberating between numerous cave dwellings, immediately alarming many powerful beings residing there.
“What? Rona stole the treasure of Lord Mo Tian Li from the Taiyi Sacred Land?”
“What audacity!”
Initially, the crowd was startled by the commotion. After hearing Kelu’s words, they immediately realized and began to discuss among themselves.
Without hesitation, Kelu’s gaze turned icy as he reached out his large hand directly towards Rona, “Rona, if you do not return with me to confess to the Lord Saint Master, I can plead for mercy on your behalf out of consideration for your aunt, and leave you a way out.”
Boom!
The enormous hand overshadowed everything, completely engulfing Rona in an instant.
“No, I didn’t, I didn’t steal your Taiyi Sacred Land's treasures! It is your Taiyi Sacred Land that covets the treasures of my Luo Family!” Rona cried out in fear, desperately looking at Saroya, “Lord Yerosha.”
“Hmph.”
A cold snort sounded, and Saroya's sharp claws shot out, striking Kelu's hand just in time.
Boom!
Like an unyielding ancient rock, Saroya's dark and hard claws crushed Kelu's hand instantly.
“Who gave you the courage to act in front of the master’s cave dwelling, Kelu?” Saroya coldly retorted. He was displeased with Rona, but he had no good feelings towards Kelu, the pretty boy.
Kelu’s expression changed. Knowing Saroya's background, he did not dare to show anger and quickly smiled, “Brother Yerosha, I did not intend to act in front of Lord Qin Chen’s cave dwelling. It’s just that this girl has stolen the treasure of the Lord Saint Master. If I do not bring her back, I could not escape blame when the Lord Saint Master questions me.”
