In Primeval Black Heaven, a group of Gu Immortals concealed their tracks as they flew swiftly onward.
These Gu Immortals possessed outstanding cultivation; they were all Rank 8, and all Otherworldly Gu Immortals. The leader had white skin and blue hair, his face solemn—it was Ice Crystal Immortal King.
Ice Crystal Immortal King had received Wu Shuai's orders to reinforce the grotto-heaven headquarters and resist Heavenly Court's surprise invasion.
All along the way, Ice Crystal Immortal King had been filled with worry. This does not match what I expected... I acknowledged Wu Shuai as Alliance Leader because I wanted him standing at the front. Yet now that we are fighting Heavenly Court, I have instead become the gun they wield.
Ice Crystal Immortal King had wanted to decline, but the circumstances at that time had left him utterly unable to refuse.
"Wu Shuai did suffer injuries after his fierce battle with Sea of Qi Ancestor. Speaking of which, I did use him to some extent, having him hold back Sea of Qi Ancestor."
"As the deputy alliance leader, I must shoulder the burden now as well. By both sentiment and reason, I have to go to Black Heaven to provide aid."
Ice Crystal Immortal King was unwilling to clash with Heavenly Court like this.
No matter whether he won or lost, he would become a thorn in Heavenly Court's eye.
At this stage, he had still wanted Wu Shuai to stand at the front and draw the fire. Yet the affairs of the world were like a chessboard, the martial world perilous and its storms ever-changing; in the blink of an eye, he too had been shoved onto center stage.
"Truly, one cannot help oneself!" Ice Crystal Immortal King sighed heavily in his heart.
The rescue had to be carried
