The Shelter World

The head of Jueyunzi on the left fell to the ground, his face still showing shock, as if he didn't understand why he had been slashed.

"Haven't you figured it out yet?"

Li Jinyao sheathed her sword and stood still, saying sweetly, "His level of repeating a grade is higher than yours."

The head of Jueyunzi on the left fell to the ground, turning into a pool of silvery-white liquid. It twisted its body, trying to run away, while its headless body collapsed into another, larger pool of silvery liquid, heading towards another place.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Jiang Lan shouted and pointed.

"Certainly!"

With the power of Return Ruins level Words Become Law, Jiang Lan unleashed her full Immortal Power, instantly freezing the two pools of silvery-white liquid in place, rendering them unable to move.

After Jiang Lan sealed the two pools of silvery-white liquid into a spherical Barrier, everyone curiously gathered around, watching the liquid thrashing about inside the Barrier.

What is this?

Ji Lingyun asked curiously.

"Demon spirit?"

"No, it's something far more dangerous than that."

Jiang Lan's expression was serious.

"I might have to go to the Immortal Realm. Xiangxue, Jinyao, I'm leaving the task of looking after the house to you."

"Okay, leave this to me."

Su Xiangxue nodded.

"Speaking of Miss Li..."

At this moment, Jueyunzi had come over from the other side, dusted himself off and asked Li Jinyao curiously, "Actually, this guy's answer wasn't wrong. If he hadn't answered faster than me, I was going to answer the same way... What if I had answered 'repeatedly'? How would you have distinguished it?"

"Oh, I didn't think that much about it at the time."

After thinking for a moment, Li Jinyao said, "Anyway, it's fine if I kill him. At worst, I'll just kill another one if I accidentally killed the wrong one, and make him come down to keep you company."

Jueyunzi was terrified.

Upon hearing this, Ji Lingyun, though still unwilling to confront Li Jinyao, couldn't help but pat her shoulder and whisper, "Well done!"

After enjoying the delicious meal prepared by Li Jinyao, Jiang Lan immediately set off for the Immortal Realm.

After reaching the Return Ruins Realm, traversing the Void with her physical body was no longer a difficult task for her. Moreover, Jiang Lan's speed was the same as Bai Qiuran's, much faster than the fastest Void Airship in the Immortal Realm Central Immortal Realm.

Without even having time to glance at her daughter, Jiang Lan hurriedly went to the Central Immortal Palace out of worry for her husband.

Not long after, she met Le Zhentian in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The Immortal Emperor of the Central Immortal Realm, upon seeing his grandmaster's arrival, said as soon as he saw her, "Grandmaster, you've come at the right time. I was just about to send someone to look for you."

"You're coming to find me?"

Jiang Lan was taken aback.

"What happened? Is Xuxiang being naughty again? Last time I heard she connected you and your concubine together, and they were connected all day long..."

"Ahem, that's not it."

Le Zhentian coughed awkwardly and replied, "I discovered that a fellow recently infiltrated the Immortal Realm's ranks. It's highly likely that those Puppet on the other side were behind it. My personal attendant came to me saying he was absent from his wedding anniversary that day. I sent people to search for him everywhere and found him knocked unconscious and stuffed into a Spatial Fold within the Immortal Palace. I traced the trail and discovered that Immortals knocked unconscious in the same way stretched from the Immortal Realm Fortress all the way to here in the Immortal Realm. The last person was an Immortals who was about to travel to the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou in Void Airship. Therefore, I wanted to send someone to inform you, fearing that something bad might have happened to you."

Oh, about that.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lan laughed and said, "It seems its movements are faster than yours."

After saying that, she took out a spherical Barrier, showing Le Zhentian the silvery-white liquid imprisoned Barrier.

"Grandma caught it?"

Le Zhentian was taken aback upon hearing this. He took the spherical Barrier that Jiang Lan handed him, looked at it for a while, and his expression became serious.

"I will have the Immortal Craftsman of the Heavenly Works Workshop study the composition of this liquid."

Be careful.

Jiang Lan cautioned, "This thing can mimic anything it comes into contact with."

"I understand."

Le Zhentian responded.

Seeing the Central Immortal Emperor preparing to turn away, Jiang Lan couldn't help but speak up again, "But what if this thing really was sent by those Machine Puppet on the other side..."

"Hmm, then there's a possibility that our master and the others might be exposed."

Le Zhentian's expression was stern.

"At that time, I will also put the entire Immortal Realm army into a state of level two combat readiness."

On the opposite bank of the Immortal Realm, near the bottom of the Void River, in the "Eden" hidden within the bubble barrier, Bai Qiuran was leading Tang Ruowei, flying towards the enormous and majestic Emperor-level Machine Puppet in front of them.

They had just seen the Spaceship they were tracking, packed with fugitives, fly towards the massive Mechanical City at the heart of the Emperor-level Machine Puppet.

That should be the "capital" of this bubble world, and the person in charge of this place should also be there.

"Now that we're here, we don't need to think about those troublesome things."

While flying, Bai Qiuran said to Tang Ruowei, "After all, we are also material beings, mortal beings. The people here shouldn't be too hostile towards us. Just get straight to the point and say what we're here for. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. There's a high chance that the people here will help us."

"Um."

Tang Ruowei responded and asked, "Master, why are you here in such a hurry?"

"I suddenly had a bad feeling."

Bai Qiuran smacked her lips.

"We might already be discovered by the Machine God."

"We cleaned up very well. The Guardian Machine Puppet who witnessed our actions were all dealt with, and the records in the Main Control Room were destroyed by the degenerate beasts we lured away."

Tang Ruowei tilted her head.

"Perhaps it's just your... illusion?"

"That's possible."

Bai Qiuran replied, "However, it's better to find the prisoners from the Immortal Realm sooner rather than later. Let's go."

The Clear Autumn Waters transformed into a stream of light, carrying the two of them to the Great City where the Emperor-level Machine Puppet held its hands to its chest. This Great City was also filled with all kinds of machinery, but unlike the City built by the Machine God, there were many buildings of different styles that were clearly from different City.

Bai Qiuran, accompanied by Tang Ruowei, followed the flight path of the fugitives' Spaceship and flew all the way to the City's Landing Pad. The fugitives' Spaceship was also parked there. When Bai Qiuran and the others arrived, they saw the group of fugitives disembarking from the Spaceship, while another group of people were waiting to greet them.

The leader was a young man who was bald, with chitinous material resembling a carapace on his head, and whose head was faintly glowing red.

He was dressed in clothing that resembled Crystal armor, and appeared to be a man, but Bai Qiuran looked closely and discovered something amiss.

"This thing... isn't a physical entity?"

Just as Bai Qiuran looked at him, the young alien also looked at him. When Bai Qiuran and Tang Ruowei arrived on their swords earlier, they made no attempt to conceal their presence. This group of people had noticed the Sword Light long before they landed.

"Welcome, unknown guest... or rather, our fellow citizens who are different from the Machine Puppet."

The young man smiled at Bai Qiuran and Tang Ruowei and said, "You're the ones who rescued our brothers from the Machine Puppet, right? Thank you."
