The world in the mirror collapsed, turning into a jade mirror.
A surge of light rippled through the jade mirror, transforming it into a cyan luan bird. With a flap of its wings, it caught Mu Xia as she fell, then broke through the air and fled into the distance.
"Mirror Spirit!" Mu Xia no longer had the strength to move. Feeling the fragility of the Jadebeard Immortal Mirror as it erupted, crystalline tears scattered through the void from her eyes.
Fusing the Jadebeard Immortal Mirror with the power of the Five-Samar Forest's territorial laws had subjected it to a far greater impact than Mu Xia herself. The damage had struck from the inside out.
In Mu Xia's current condition, she could already sense that the Jadebeard Immortal Mirror was at the end of its strength. Perhaps before it could even fly away from this place, it and the Mirror Spirit would disperse together.
The cyan jade luan bird fled at astonishing speed. The sword ray behind it kept close pursuit, but it was still several notches slower than the luan bird. After a while, it vanished from sight.
"Mirror Spirit." Feeling the weakness of the cyan luan bird beneath her, Mu Xia was seized by unprecedented panic.
"Miss, this old woman can no longer accompany you. From now on, you must live well."

"Mirror Spirit, don't!" Tears streamed down Mu Xia's face, yet she had no strength to stop it.
Amid a mournful cry, the cyan luan bird turned into a shadow of light, dyeing the entire stretch of heaven
