"Ying Xiaoxiao!"
Li Hao's entire body tensed. His eyes remained fixed on the palace doors as he felt that familiar presence grow stronger and clearer, until it radiated unobstructed from the palace like a bright moon rising.
Immortal power gathered all around, vast and mighty, like seawater suddenly condensed out of nothingness. It flooded inward, enveloping the entire palace.
Not only Li Hao, but Nanny Wu and all the maidservants in the courtyard sensed this astonishing scene. They all stared at it in horror.
"Has the young lady broken through?"
"This... this is such an enormous disturbance. Even a breakthrough shouldn't cause this, should it?"
The maidservants were only at the true immortal realm. Beneath the terrifying pressure of that vast immortal power, they struggled to breathe and could barely remain standing.
Outside the courtyard, a Su Clan guard concealed in the void-an immortal king realm expert-also emerged, his gaze grave.
The other Su Clan disciples had no immortal king realm experts secretly watching over and protecting them, but Su Muqing, Su Wanqing, and the rest of the Four Little Phoenixes did, lest demons ambush them or some other accident occur.
At that moment, the immortal king realm expert's eyes shone like blazing suns, piercing the compressed pressure of immortal power to look deep into the palace.
Yet an ancient and supreme power blocked him, shrouding the cultivation chamber like endlessly surging waves of time and preventing anyone from seeing through it.
Although the immortal king realm expert could not see what was happening inside, he could sense another presence besides the young lady's. It was frightening and dangerous; even as an immortal king, he felt a flicker of dread.
"What is that?"
"What a powerful presence!"
Beyond the Immortal's Abode Courtyard, Su Clan disciples in the neighboring courtyards also
