Seeing this, the Old Saint Master of the Tianyan Dao Sect and Eternal Night Tianzun swallowed hard. Though they had long known they were doomed today, with death all but certain,
they had already prepared themselves for it.
But when they saw Sword Venerable Xuanri die before them, they still couldn't help feeling a pang of grief at the sight of another's death, along with a measure of fear.
Their bodies trembled slightly, but reason told them that fear was no use now. So they simply closed their eyes and quietly waited for death to come...
Ning Wangshu glanced at them without another word. With a clean, decisive flick of his finger, he sent them both on their way to the underworld...
After watching Ning Wangshu kill Sword Venerable Xuanri and the others, Water Yuanzi turned to him and asked, "Kid, tell me what's going on with you."
"Didn't you ascend to the Immortal Realm long ago? How did you suddenly return to the Cangyuan Realm? And you should be a true immortal now, right?"
At this, Ning Wangshu smiled slightly. "That's a long story. I really have become an immortal. As for the rest, let me first help heal the Dao injury inside you. Then I'll tell you everything."
"Hm?"
Water Yuanzi froze, then blurted out in astonishment, "W-wait. You just said you could... help heal the Dao injury inside me?"
"You mean you have a way to heal it!?"
It clearly couldn't believe what it was hearing. Its breathing grew noticeably quicker.
After all, this wasn't an ordinary injury. It was a Dao injury caused by the backlash of Heaven and Earth—one that couldn't be healed. Water Yuanzi had already given up hope.
It had only hoped to keep the injury suppressed and prevent it from flaring up.
