The young man in the white robe just split in two suddenly died.
Saint Lord Lingchao and Yuanyang Holy Lord were both shocked!
As early as the last time, they had seen Mu Qianning use the same hairpin to kill two Almost Immortals with a mere swipe… At that time, they speculated that it must be at least an Immortal Artifact!
Now it seemed, it surpassed even Immortal Artifacts!
Just as the young man in the white robe died, a green light suddenly burst from his body and shot into the sky!
"Is that… Is that a mark left by a supreme being on his body?”
Yuanyang Holy Lord exclaimed in surprise, saying,
“He has someone backing him!”
Saint Lord Lingchao’s lips were still stained with blood, and he said with dread,
“He said just now… that he was from the Immortal Domain? Is that really true…?”Immortal Domain!
These two words made everyone’s faces instantly become extremely solemn!
That place was an untouchable cloud, the high and mighty Master!
A million Lower Worlds varied in strength, but no matter how strong, they were all beneath the Immortal Domain.
To enter the Immortal Domain was the lifelong dream of countless cultivators from the Lower Worlds.
In the Immortal Domain, one could obtain more cultivation resources, experience the baptism of the Immortal Path, and witness a boundless world.
The existence above the Immortal Domain was worshipped by countless people from the Lower Worlds!
But, had they actually killed someone from the Immortal Domain now?
"If he really was from the Immortal Domain, then I’m afraid we, have invited trouble…”
Yuanyang Holy Lord spoke bitterly, looking at the corpse of the young man in the white robe and murmured,
“But, he was equipped with Immortal Artifacts from head to toe… Apart from the Immortal Domain, what other explanation could there be?”
"What should we do now… If the Immortal Domain seeks retribution, I fear the entire Xuantian Realm will be destroyed because of this!”
Fear was evident in Ling Chao’s words!
Because the Immortal Domain, in their minds, was the supreme and unsurpassable!
Irresistible!
Fire Spirit pondered for a moment and then said,
“If he truly was an existence from above the Immortal Domain, then perhaps only one person can counter the impending retribution of the Immortal Domain…”
She looked at Mu Qianning, and Mu Qianning immediately nodded, saying,
“Let’s go find Senior Li!”
"Even if he was from the Immortal Domain, he was a bad person! Senior Li won’t blame us, he will definitely protect us…”
The others nodded, this was the only method indeed.
They then got up.
At the same time.
"The people from Saint Cloud City of the Northern Immortal Domain are really a bunch of trash!”
Wang Chuan returned to the edge of the Xuanhuang Mist Sea and directly said,
“I just observed a life light flying back to the Immortal Domain at the edge of the Southern Territory… It looks like the person they sent is dead!”
– The moment the white-robed youth from the Sect of the Heavenly Soul descended to the Lower World, they had already discovered him.
They followed him secretly, but due to dread, they did not dare to enter the Southern Territory and instead observed from the edge of it.
"So useless for someone from the Immortal Domain?”
"Although Saint Cloud City is just a small frontier city, it shouldn’t be completely helpless against a Xuanmo…”
The crowd spoke one after another.
"No need to panic,”
At this moment, Yu Chenbing spoke, his lips curled into a cold smile,
“Clearly, the person who came this time was just probing.”
"Although we sent the message to Saint Cloud City, they also needed confirmation. Now that their scout has died so thoroughly, they should be able to confirm… The real good show is up next!”
Hearing this, the others also nodded in agreement.
At that moment.
Northern Immortal Domain, Saint Cloud City.
Within an ancient palace, a grey-robed elder walked in with a dark face, seeing the long-haired old man sitting dead still in the grand hall.
A deep, hoarse voice echoed in the palace:
"How goes it? Any news of the Heaven Soul Bead?”
The grey-robed elder shook his head,
“The Heaven Soul Bead has not been reclaimed, but we have confirmed that the Demon Cultivator Ming Tianbei is indeed in the Xuantian Realm’s Southern Territory!”
"I sent my disciple Xia Tong to the Lower World to investigate, and bestowed upon him numerous Profound Immortal Level treasures, but he couldn’t even send back a message before he died…”
"If I had not left a life light on him beforehand, we might not even know where he died.”
The grand hall was silent for a long while before the hoarse voice spoke again:
“Utilize the Primitive Realm Stone, send enough people, reclaim the sect’s treasure bead, and at the same time, eradicate the demon!”
Eradicate the demon!
The grey-robed elder nodded,
“As you command!”
After seeking instructions from the Sect Master, he walked into the outer hall. In the outer hall, many elders of the Sect of the Heavenly Soul were waiting.
“Elder Li Luo, what’s the situation? Has the Sect Master made a decision?” ” When do we descend to the Lower World?”
"We can hardly wait to reclaim our sect’s precious bead!”
They spoke one after another!
The grey-robed elder Li Luo waved his hand and said,
“The Sect Master has spoken, reclaim the Soul Bead, eradicate the Demon Cultivator!”
"I propose we send out the strongest Profound Immortal Level cultivators, utilize the Primitive Realm Stone to tear open the barrier, and descend to eliminate the demon!”
His voice resonated throughout the Sect of the Heavenly Soul!
The many elders in the hall nodded in approval!
"Yes, as long as we reclaim the Heaven Soul Bead, everything is worth it!”
"That’s exactly what should be done!”
"Banish the demon!”
They shouted in unison!
Soon, the Sect of the Heavenly Soul sprang into action.
They took out all the remaining Primitive Realm Stones of the sect and selected several of the most elite Profound Immortals!
With the help of the Primitive Realm Stones, they would travel to Xuantian
Realm with almost no loss in strength and accomplish the feat of demon banishment.
At this moment, they had gathered at a three-colored altar!
That three-colored altar was none other than the Array used to open the barrier between realms.
The strongest Profound Immortal-level experts of the Sect of the Heavenly
Soul had already stepped forward!
At this very moment.
Xuantian Realm, Southern Territory.
Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning walked into a small mountain village, and it wasn’t long before they appeared outside
“Wu’er Xianting.”
"Is Senior Li here?”
Mu Qianning spoke up.
"Come in.”
The voice of Li Fan rang out, and the two pushed the door open and entered.
As they entered the small courtyard, both of them were somewhat surprised; there were a few more people in Senior Li’s courtyard.
"Qing Chen, Dugu Yuqing… Did they really become disciples of Senior Li?”
Fire Spirit was surprised and said,
“It seems the rumors outside are true, the problem posed by Senior Li involved the eternal secrets of heaven and earth, and no one in Xuantian Realm can solve it. Senior Li’s real intention was just to find the most determined person, hence, Qing Chen and Dugu Yuqing received such a fortune!”
Mu Qianning was looking at a little girl who was sitting obediently in front of Li Fan, following along as he read poetry.
The little girl looked to be about eight or nine years old, and her cute and well- behaved appearance was endearing to the extreme.
"Senior Li is teaching her to read… Senior Li is so kind-hearted!”
She couldn’t help but feel moved, with stars shining in her eyes.
At that moment, Li Fan was again teaching Xinning to read
“Thoughts in the Silent Night” and looking up at the two, he smiled and said,
“Come and sit.”
The two walked over, and Fire Spirit said,
“Congratulations, senior, on gaining a few more disciples.”
Li Fan smiled and replied,
“It’s largely thanks to you two. How have you been recently?”
Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning exchanged a look, and Mu Qianning took a deep breath and said,
“Senior, we’ve had an incident…”
"Oh? What happened?” Li Fan asked with curiosity.
Mu Qianning gestured toward the sky and said,
“Someone from above came looking for someone called ‘Ming Tianbei.’ They questioned us. We didn’t know him, but they attacked us anyway, grievously injuring Senior Ling Chao and trying to snatch the hairpin you gave to Sister Ling’er…”
Upon hearing this, Xinning’s large eyes immediately blinked.
Above… naturally referred to the Immortal Realm!
Someone from the Immortal Realm came down to Xuantian Realm to search for Ming Tianbei??
Could it be that there were people above the Immortal Realm who had discovered her existence?
At this thought, her little face showed concern.
But then she thought about the terrifying beings hidden in this small courtyard, and the unimaginable supreme figure of
“Big Brother.” What did she have to be afraid of? Perhaps only those few most powerful beings could pose a threat if they were to come for her now, right?
She immediately regained her composure.
Yet upon hearing this, Li Fan couldn’t help but feel anger rising within him!
What Mu Qianning referred to as
“someone from above” evidently pointed to those in official positions!
"Above,” in Li Fan’s understanding, was a reference to the government.
This meant that as Mu Qianning and Fire Spirit’s business had grown, it had attracted the covetous eyes of those corrupt officials.
Looking for someone was just an excuse; the real purpose was to extort them!
Back on Blue Star, Li Fan had seen too many so-called
“people from above,” using various reasons to extort ordinary folks!
This was unacceptable!
"And then?” he inquired.
"We… in our urgency, we killed him…”
Mu Qianning hung her head.
Fire Spirit also felt uneasy and said,
“Senior, it’s all my fault for being reckless and causing trouble for you. If you wish to blame anyone, please blame me…” However, to their words, Li Fan responded with a hearty laugh!
” What fault do you have? You killed him, so you did. If those people seek revenge, just come here.”
He declared.
In Xuantian Realm, death was all too commonplace, and moreover, the deceased had it coming.
And as for the government of Xuantian Realm, how much power could it really wield? If there was a real investigation, Fire Spirit and the others need only come to him for refuge, and nobody would be able to find them!
They were untouchable!
Therefore, he was at ease about the situation.
Hearing this, both Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning were overjoyed!
"With Senior Li giving such assurance, obviously, the beings from above the Immortal Realm are not a concern for him!” thought Fire Spirit.
"I knew it; with Senior Li present, all evildoers cannot cause trouble!” Mu Qianning was filled with admiration.
Both offered their thanks to Li Fan.
"It’s a trifle; no thanks necessary.”
Li Fan was very amicable.
But in the next instant, terrifying sounds erupted from the high skies above!
"Boom boom—”
It was as if a thousand claps of thunder had suddenly burst forth!
Everyone looked up to see the sky above the Southern Territory trembling violently, as if some terrifying existence was hammering the dome of heaven!
