"Master, you all must come back!" Shen Aobing's normally cold expression disappeared, leaving a face full of tears, looking at the Old Granny Master of the Immortals.
"Don't worry, we may have lived a long life, but we don't want to die yet!" The Old Granny Master of the Immortals said in a tranquil yet stern tone, her eyes glimmering with compassion, then sighed, "This battle... will change the whole world's situation. If Chu Mo survives and escapes from the primeval ruins, and even gets away from Beyond Heaven's pursuit, you guys... should treat him as your leader!"
The Old Granny Master's words left everyone stunned.
Many of the Immortals couldn't stop their tears from welling up. Has the situation reached such a critical point?
Even One Sword's Old Lady also delivered such a request to ensure their protection.
A sorrowful atmosphere spread among the people of One Sword and the Immortals.
Miao Yi Niang, Hua Xiaoya, Shen Xingxue and other youngsters could not say much but all felt heavy-hearted.
It was clear that the old masters of One Sword and the Immortals had prepared to sacrifice themselves, to shield their successors and allow them to escape.
As for the future, no one could see clearly, because if they could not survive this crisis, what future could they possibly talk about?
Chu Mo was someone who the old masters of One Sword and the Immortals had mutual hopes for.
Even if initially, they might have harbored the thought of ridding the young man, times had changed. Now, they all believed that only the young man could lead them out of this predicament.
"They seem to want to break through!" said Li Hong, his pupils flashing with a cold light.
Li Zhu stood there at ease, smiled faintly, and said, "Escape? How many of them could get out? Every port and harbor, every vessel worthy of deep-sea voyages on the White Tiger Continent, are under our control! Even if they escape today, they'll just be hiding deeper in the White Tiger Continent. By then... after a short rest, we can take them all in one fell swoop!"
"Was this all part of your original plan?" Li Hong looked at his son, somewhat uncertain. Ever since Li Zhu emerged from the ruin, his character had seemed to change greatly, becoming somewhat unfamiliar.
"Exactly, I have a way to make the puppet immortals more flexible, but it needs time." Li Zhu sighed lightly and whispered, "However, time is more than a little tight. If I had another year, I could make our puppet immortal army unstoppable!"
Li Hong couldn't help but take a cold breath, looked at Li Zhu in disbelief, "Is that really possible?"
Li Zhu nodded, a glint in his eyes, "If we could step beyond this world, there would be... even more we could do!"
A longing shone in Li Hong's eyes. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "From now on, all matters of Beyond Heaven will be handed over to you!"
"Alright, Father," Li Zhu replied without any surprise.
Boom!
A thunderous noise that shook the earth, and a corner of Beyond Heaven's puppet immortal's encirclement was blasted open by the combined efforts of One Sword's Old Lady and the Old Granny Master of the Immortals.
Smoke and dust billowed, blood and shocked cries filled the air.
"Go!" One Sword's Old Lady shouted out loud.
He Feng and Hua Sanniang, with Hua Xiaoya, Shen Aobing and Shen Aoshuang with Miao Yi Niang and Shen Xingxue—these people, together, rushed towards the outside.
Miao Yi Niang was holding Huang Hui's hand, otherwise, this chaotic girl would probably want to stay and continue fighting.
"Chu Mo will definitely be alright, if you stay here, you will surely die!" Miao Yi Niang whispered in Huang Hui's ear.
Although Huang Hui's face showed unwillingness, at this point, she also understood that continuing to stay here would not have any good results.
The immortals of Beyond Heaven seeing this group trying to break through, rushed up to stop them immediately.
This group was not like those puppet immortals, every immortal from Beyond Heaven had unfathomable strength. Until now, they had stayed behind the scenes, leaving the brunt of the fighting to the puppet immortals. Why risk their lives if they had expendable puppets? The deaths of their companions had given them enough warning.
But now, seeing these people trying to escape, the immortals were unwilling to allow it.
They had fought for this long. Wasn't it to trap all these people? Immediately, under the leadership of one immortal, the group from Beyond Heaven, their reserves, came forward to encircle.
The battlefield's situation instantly transformed into a tumultuous chaos.
At the critical moment, an old ancestor from One Sword, who looked to be hundreds of years old, roared, his body bursting with boundless aura, rushing towards the immortals of Beyond Heaven. He was a genuinely powerful elder immortal, and the aura radiating from his body made people shudder.
He was totally ready to fight to death.
Although this old ancestor from One Sword was very powerful, under the attack of four or five immortals from Beyond Heaven, he was severely injured within a blink of an eye.
Bang!
A dull noise sounded as his shoulder was hit by an immortal from Beyond Heaven, and a cracking sound of bones could be heard.
This ancestor from One Sword kept silent. With his remaining hand, like the puppet immortals from Beyond Heaven before him, he brutally stabbed into the chest of an immortal from Beyond Heaven.
Splat!
"Ah!" The immortal from Beyond Heaven let out a sharp scream.
The ancestor of One Sword, however, was cut into seven or eight pieces at the scene by several other immortals from Beyond Heaven.
"Uncle Ancestor!" Taking advantage of this situation, He Feng and others from One Sword who had already broken through the encirclement, were crying with tears as they screamed.
"Leave quickly! Don't let our sacrifices go to waste!" The Old Lady from One Sword, who was also surrounded by many people, cried out with grief.
He Feng clenched his teeth, "Go!"
He took Hua Sanniang and others, along with Shen Aobing and Shen Aoshuang, protecting Miao Yi Niang, Shen Xingxue, Hua Xiaoya, Huang Hui, and some young apprentices. They ran with all their might towards the distance.
Li Zhu, who had been standing in the distance, had a trace of scorn in his cold eyes and ordered, "Kill all these old things."
After saying that, he walked towards another battlefield in the distance.
"What are you going to do?" Li Hong asked as he followed behind him.
"The fight here has no suspense. As I said, I want to rip Qin Xiao apart with my own hands!" said Li Zhu as he left without turning his head.
...
The next day, at dawn, a thin layer of blood covered the skies above the ancient town nearest to the entrance of the primeval ruins.
The entire old town felt lifeless, filled with a thick smell of blood.
The old generation of the Immortals and One Sword had nearly completely perished in this battle.
On the other side, Beyond Heaven, led by twenty-or-so immortal practitioners and fifty-or-so puppet immortals, still had substantial forces left.
Right now, all these people were gathered at the entrance of the primeval ruins, because for Li Zhu, there was another person who needed to be eliminated—Chu Mo!
In his eyes, the danger posed by Chu Mo was even greater than that of One Sword, Immortals and Lonely City combined!
But at this moment, he needed to take care of another matter first.
It was time to pass judgement on Qin Xiao! (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote recommendation, give monthly votes at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
