The Oriole

Located thousands of miles outside Heavenly Star City.

Long Xin slowly awoke.

Finding himself trapped in Blood-Colored Prison, the Holy Sky-Flying Holy Hall Cultivator gripped the cage with one hand and flew away into the distance.

"Woke up?"

"No one's coming to save you this time, you little beast," the Holy Hall Cultivator mocked, still resentful about being momentarily paralyzed by the Long Xin's electric shock earlier.

This kid's Spell Talent is truly terrifying; he injured Peak Foundation Establishment Late Qi Refining stage—it's unbelievable.

Long Xin tried to gather Law Technique to shatter the cage, but he found that his Spiritual Power was already completely depleted.

The wisp of energy that had finally been gathered was absorbed by the blood-red cage.

This blood-red cage can clearly absorb the Spiritual Power within the bound person.

"Where did my father go?" Long Xin abandoned his idea of breaking the cage and asked in a deep voice.

"Your father? He's obviously dead and has no proper burial place."

"For us to send Blood Prison to your father's funeral is enough to give him face." The Holy Hall Cultivator looked regretful; what he regretted was naturally the [Blood Prison] treasure.

"You bastards! If one day I do, I will slaughter all the Holy Hall Devil Cultivator!" Long Xin shouted furiously, his eyes bloodshot.

The Holy Hall Cultivator chuckled, "Too bad, you've missed your chance..."

"That's not necessarily true." A figure wearing a bell-adorned Veil Hat and Purple Robe emerged from the clouds.

He raised a Spirit Sword, and a terrifying golden Sword Qi, several dozen feet long, crashed down towards the Holy Hall Cultivator.

Sword Cultivator? That attire... Immortal Palace Cultivator? Judging from the voice, she's a female cultivator.

The Holy Hall Cultivator recognized the identity of the Cultivator blocking his way and dared not be negligent. He casually tossed the Long Xin aside and conjured a pair of Blood-Colored Giant Hands to meet the Sword Qi.

The Blood-Colored Giant Hands is the signature Divine Ability of the Holy Hall Elite Cultivator.

This belongs to the first stage of the complete version of the Holy Hall Top Divine Ability, [Sacred Demonic Blood Body Dao].

It cannot be mastered by anyone other than the Elite of the Holy Hall; it belongs to the Quasi-Tier 3 Spell.

The Spell Divine Ability of ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator can be torn apart as easily as paper by the Blood-Colored Giant Hands.

Previously, Su Bai had fought two opponents alone, even sacrificing a High-grade Defensive Spirit Tool worth 100,000 Spirit Stone as a price, before he finally managed to kill them.

This demonstrates the power of that Blood-Colored Giant Hands.

However, Immortal Palace Cultivator are clearly not among ordinary Cultivator.

A terrifying Sword Qi roared out, its power far exceeding that of ordinary Cultivator, in no way inferior to the Blood-Colored Giant Hands, and even surpassing it.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, the two had Combat more than a dozen blows.

Although the Holy Hall Cultivator possessed profound Spiritual Power, he could not withstand the fierce Sword Qi of this Immortal Palace Cultivator, and a crack was slashed into the Blood-Colored Giant Hands.

"Destroy them!!" Immortal Palace Cultivator shouted.

Another Sword Qi slashed down!

Boom! The Blood-Colored Giant Hands finally shattered under the strain.

Blood Wings had already formed behind the Holy Hall Cultivator, who wanted to retreat and catch their breath.

Unexpectedly, this Sword Qi also contained the Spirit Sword of Immortal Palace Cultivator.

This spirit Sword Qi an astonishing aura; it is clearly a Top-grade Spirit Sword imbued with Natal Sword Qi!

The previous Sword Qi Divine Ability was actually a cover for this Top-grade Spirit Sword.

Call out!

The Top-grade Spirit Sword came hurtling in, carrying a trace of the Natal Sword Qi, and pierced through the chest of the Holy Hall Cultivator at a terrifying speed.

The Holy Hall Cultivator possessed astonishing vitality; they even managed to escape with their swords.

"Burst!"

The Immortal Palace Cultivator formed Sword Art, and the Spirit Sword embedded in the chest of the Holy Hall Cultivator suddenly exploded with golden Sword Qi.

The body of this Holy Hall Cultivator was finally torn into pieces by the Sword Qi, scattering in all directions from the sky.

The Immortal Palace Cultivator swept over, grabbed the crimson prison, scattered Shadow Dust around, and then took out a Teleportation Talisman unique to the Immortal Palace. After a Spatial Fluctuation, she and Long Xin disappeared from the scene.

About half a cup of tea's time later, several Holy Hall Cultivator arrived together.

"He stopped breathing here..."

"Hmm? This seems to be Shadow Dust!"

"What a clever scheme! The ' Thunderous Pill ' has probably fallen into the hands of the Immortal Palace!" Several Holy Hall Cultivator gritted their teeth.

The Holy Hall had long known that the Immortal Palace was also plotting to obtain the ' Thunderous Pill,' but after months of competition, they ultimately lost, which inevitably fueled their indignation.

However, facing the equally mysterious and powerful Immortal Palace, the Holy Hall could not directly break off relations, or rather, even if they did, finding their Stronghold was another matter entirely.

The secrecy of the Immortal Palace surpasses even that of the Holy Hall.

On the other side.

The Immortal Palace Cultivator led Long Xin to a desolate wilderness.

The Immortal Palace Cultivator threw down the blood-red prison in his hand, picked up the Top-grade Spirit Sword with one hand, and shattered the blood-red prison with a single strike.

The Long Xin was struck by the energy fluctuations from the shattered prison and rolled over, finally breaking free of its restraints.

"You've always wanted to join the Immortal Palace, haven't you? Now your chance has come." The Immortal Palace Cultivator removed her Veil Hat, revealing the face of a female cultivator. Her pair of sword-like eyebrows gave her a heroic air, making her look more like a renowned Sword Cultivator cultivator than an Immortal Palace Cultivator.

Long Xin slowly stood up. "Are all the Sword Cultivator in the Immortal Palace as weak as you? My Uncle Jiu is also Sword Cultivator. If it were my Uncle Jiu, he could kill the Holy Hall Cultivator in a single move."

Upon hearing this Immortal Palace Female Sword Cultivator raised an eyebrow slightly. "Oh? Then I really should meet your Uncle Jiu if I have the chance."

Long Xin shook his head. "There's no chance anymore, he's gone."

"If he hadn't left, how would the Holy Hall Cultivator have had the chance to kidnap me?"

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Palace Female Sword Cultivator understood. "So that Azure Fish Hall assassin is the Uncle Jiu you mentioned. Hmm, that guy is indeed very strong."

The Immortal Palace Cultivator had been watching Long Xin for so long, so they naturally knew how troublesome that Azure Fish Hall assassin was.

After she took over the mission from the Immortal Palace, she secretly observed that person many times. Her Clear Heart Sword Intent told her that the person was very dangerous and that she would surely die if she faced him.

After observing him for a while, she felt a strange sense of familiarity, and even suspected that the guy was someone she knew.

So Uncle Jiu was actually Azure Fish Hall assassin? Only now did Long Xin realize Su Bai's true identity, but he remained expressionless.

Regardless of Uncle Jiu's purpose in being by his side, or whether he was family or not, it no longer mattered.

Uncle Jiu's companionship, occasional lectures, and sharing of his views on the world over the past few months have all been genuine.

Long Xin felt that Uncle Jiu was a person with a very unique worldview, and it was precisely because of Uncle Jiu's existence that the relationship between him and his father was eased.

Azure Fish Hall, Uncle Jiu, we'll meet again someday...

"I will join the Immortal Palace and one day slaughter Holy Hall Cultivator," Long Xin said slowly. His father's death must be avenged in blood.

The Immortal Palace Female Sword Cultivator rolled her eyes. "Whether or not you join the Holy Hall is your own personal decision in the future. So, you're agreeing to voluntarily join the Immortal Palace?"

Long Xin nodded.

"Alright, come with me. I'll take you to see [Immortal Palace's Thunder]."

"What, weren't you the one who brought me?"

"How could that be? I am Sword Cultivator. The only one who can take you is the Immortal Palace's Thunder."

The Immortal Palace Female Sword Cultivator grabbed Long Xin, mounted her Sword Flight, and flew away into the distance with Long Xin in her arms.
