Chapter 106 - Small Changes (1/2)

Bai Lei rushes over to his study with Ren but as soon as they enter, he turns to Ren and says ”Speak.” Ren lightly bows and says ”After your command, we went to see if anything had changed with the Under Realm and we found the barrier had been damaged...”

Bai Lei narrows his eyes and says ”Damaged how?” Ren frowns and shakes his head saying ”It looks like the impact came from within but we can't rule out the possibility of them receiving help from the outside.”

Bai Lei nods his head and turns to face the window while saying ”Leave several Shadow Guards there to keep an eye on it... if there are any changes, let me know immediately.” Ren nods but his frown continues to grow as he disappears.

Bai Lei clenches his fist as he looks out the large window facing the large mountains. How were they breaking the barrier? His Grandfather sacrificed his life to erect that barrier... The people from the Under Realm use to be like the rest of the Realms Until they started messing with evil...

The people from the Under Realm suddenly became stronger and shocked the entire world but no one really knew how. Others figured it was a new cultivating technic but then one day, Bai Lei's Grandfather and his men witnessed the people from the Under Realm killing and eating women for power.

It shocked and disgusted them so they confronted the people from the Under Realm but it only caused a large backlash. A war broke out that nearly destroyed life as we know it but Bai Lei's Grandfather, Lady Xue's father, sacrificed himself to create a barrier around the Under Realm.

Sealing all the evil people up within the Realm so that they couldn't harm the rest of the world. He wanted to kill them, to erase them from the face of the planet but he wasn't strong enough. No one was... so that was the only thing he could do.

Since the Demonic Realm sits on the border of the Under Realm, he felt like it was his responsibility to take them out. To keep his people from being killed... Bai Lei closes his eyes and instantly sees the strong laughing man known as his Grandfather.

He was more than just a Grandfather, he was like a father to Bai Lei as well... Now, all Bai Lei had left was his Mother. Bai Lei slowly opens his eyes as the sun's last rays of sunlight streak across the darkening sky. Well, he had more than just his Mother now... a pair of jade color eyes come to mind making him smile.

When she was sitting on his bed looking up at him with those jade-like eyes... his insides clench as he slowly closes his eyes. She was so pretty is was hypnotizing... he finds himself slipping into those eyes and falling further and further.

The next morning, I get up and stretch with a yawn. I look around the empty room with a slight frown. I guess he's still busy... I can't help but keep thinking about the Under Realm that was mentioned before.
