The Senior Had Spoken

The white robed youth was torn in two and died instantly.

Both the Holy Lord Lingchao and the Yuanyang Holy Lord were shocked!

Back then, they had seen Mu Qianning use the same hairpin to kill two quasi-immortals with a single stroke... At that time, they guessed that it was at least an immortal artifact!

Even now, it surpasses even immortal artifacts!

Just as the white robed youth died, a green light suddenly shot into the sky from within his body!

"That... that's a mark left on him by a supreme being?"

The Yuanyang Holy Lord exclaimed in surprise, "He has someone backing him!"

With blood still fresh at the corner of his mouth, the Holy Lord Lingchao asked with apprehension, "He just said... he's from the Immortal Realm? Is that true...?"

Immortal Realm!

These two words instantly made everyone's expressions extremely serious!

That is the untouchable cloud, the supreme Ruler!

Among the millions of beings in the lower realms, some are strong and some are weak, but no matter how strong they are, they are all below the Immortal Realm.

Entering the Immortal Realm is the lifelong dream of countless cultivators in the lower realms.

Only in the Immortal Realm can one obtain more Cultivation Resources, experience the baptism of the Immortal Path, and witness the boundless world.

The existence above the Immortal Realm commands the utmost reverence and worship from countless beings in the lower realms!

But now, they've actually killed someone from the Immortal Realm?

"If he really is from the Immortal Realm, then we're probably in trouble..."

The Yuanyang Holy Lord spoke bitterly, looking at the white robed youth's corpse, and murmured, "But his entire body was covered in immortal artifacts... What other explanation could there be besides the Immortal Realm?"

"What should we do now... If the Immortal Realm retaliates, the entire Profound Heaven Realm may be destroyed!"

Ling Chao's words were tinged with fear!

Because, in their minds, the Immortal Realm is supreme!

Irresistible!

Huo Ling'er pondered for a moment, then said, "If he truly is an existence above the Immortal Realm, then perhaps only one person can withstand the Immortal Realm's impending retribution..."

She looked at Mu Qianning, Mu Qianning immediately nodded and said, "Let's go find Senior Li!"

"Even if he's from the Immortal Realm, he's still a bad person! Senior Li won't blame us; he'll definitely protect us..."

Several people nodded; this was the only way.

The group immediately stood up.

At the same time.

"The people of Holy Cloud City in the Northern Immortal Realm are truly a bunch of useless trash!"

Wang Chuan returned to the edge of the Profound Yellow Sea of Mist and spoke directly, saying, "I just observed a beam of life light flying back to the Immortal Realm from the edge of the Southern Domain... It seems the person they sent is dead!"

--The white robed youth from the Tianhun Sect had already been discovered by them when he descended to the mortal realm.

They followed in secret, but out of fear, they dared not enter the Southern Domain, instead observing from its Southern Domain.

"Are people from the Immortal Realm really this useless?"

"Although Holy Cloud City is just a small border town, it's impossible that they're helpless against a mere Profound Devil..."

Everyone started to speak.

"Don't panic,"

At this moment, Yu Chenbing spoke up, a cold smile on his lips, saying, "Clearly, the people who came this time are just testing the waters."

"Although we gave the information to Holy Cloud City, they still need to confirm it. Now that their spies are all dead, they should be able to confirm it... The real show is about to begin!"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Now.

Northern Immortal Realm, Holy Cloud City.

In the ancient palace, the old man in gray robes walked in with a gloomy expression and saw the long-haired old man sitting alone in the main hall.

A hoarse, deep voice echoed within the palace:

"How is it? Any news about the Tianhun Pearl?"

The gray-robed elder shook his head and said, "The Tianhun Pearl has not yet been retrieved, but we are certain that the Devil Cultivator Ming Tianbei is indeed in the Southern Domain of the Profound Heaven Realm!"

"I sent my disciple Xia Tong down to the mortal realm to investigate, and bestowed upon him countless Xuanxian-level treasures, but he still died without even being able to send back a single message..."

"Non-Self hadn't left a life-saving aura on him beforehand, I might not even know where he died."

After a long silence in the hall, a hoarse voice finally broke through:

"Use the Primal Boundary Stone, send enough people to retrieve the sect's treasure pearl, and at the same time, destroy the demon!"

Slay the demon!

The old man in the gray robe nodded and said, "Yes, sir!"

After consulting with the Sect Master, he went to the outer hall.

Inside the outer hall, many elders of the Tianhun Sect were already waiting.

"Elder Li Luo, what's the matter? Has the Sect Master made a decision?"

When will we descend to the mortal realm?

"We are eager to reclaim our sect's most precious treasure!"

They all spoke up!

The gray-robed elder Li Luo, waved his hand and said, "The Sect Master has given the order: retrieve the Soul Pearl and annihilate the Devil Cultivator!"

"My intention is to send out the strongest Xuanxian-level cultivators, using the Primal Boundary Stone to crack the boundary wall and descend to the mortal realm to slay the demons!"

His voice resounded throughout the entire Tianhun Sect!

Many of the elders present nodded in agreement!

"Yes, as long as we get back the Tianhun Pearl, it's all worth it!"

"That's exactly right!"

"Slay the demon!"

They shouted!

Soon, the Tianhun Sect took action.

They retrieved all the remaining Primal Boundary Stones from the entire sect and selected several of the most elite Xuan Immortals!

With the aid of the Primal Boundary Stone, they will travel to the Profound Heaven Realm with almost no damage to complete the feat of slaying the demon.

At this moment, they had gathered at a three-colored altar!

That three-colored altar is the magic array used to open the boundary wall.

The strongest Xuanxian-level experts of the Tianhun Sect have already stepped forward!

Now.

Profound Heaven Realm, Southern Domain.

Huo Ling'er and Mu Qianning entered the Small Mountain Village and soon appeared outside "Unique Leisurely Courtyard".

Is Senior Li here?

Mu Qianning spoke.

Come in.

Li Fan's voice rang out, and the two of them immediately pushed open the door and entered.

Upon entering the Small Courtyard, both of them were somewhat surprised; there were a few more people in Senior Li's Small Courtyard.

"Qing Chen, Dugu Yuqing... have they really been accepted as disciples by Senior Li?"

Huo Ling'er was surprised and said, "It seems that the rumors outside are true. The question that Senior Li asked touched on the eternal mysteries of heaven and earth, and no one in the Profound Heaven Realm could solve it. Senior Li's intention was actually just to find the most persevering person. Therefore, Qing Chen and Dugu Yuqing obtained this Immortal Destiny!"

Mu Qianning then looked at the little girl who was sitting obediently in front of Li Fan, reciting poetry with him.

The little girl looked to be only eight or nine years old, and she was extremely cute and adorable.

"Senior Li is teaching her to read... Senior Li is so kind!"

She couldn't help but sigh, her eyes shining like stars.

At that moment, Li Fan was teaching Xin Ning to read "Quiet Night Thoughts" again. He looked up at the two of them and smiled, "Come and sit down."

The two approached, Huo Ling'er said, "Congratulations, Senior, on gaining several more disciples."

Li Fan smiled and said, "It's all thanks to you guys. How have you been lately?"

Huo Ling'er and Mu Qianning exchanged a glance. Mu Qianning then took a deep breath and said, "Senior, something has happened to us..."

"Oh? What is it?" Li Fan asked, puzzled.

Mu Qianning pointed to the sky and said, "Someone came up there, looking for someone named 'Ming Tianbei.' They interrogated us, but we didn't know him. Yet he attacked us, severely injuring Senior Ling Chao, and even tried to steal the hairpin you gave to Sister Ling'er..."

Upon hearing this, Xin Ning blinked her big eyes.

Above... is naturally the Immortal Realm!

Someone from the Immortal Realm has invaded the Xuan Profound Heaven Realm, searching for Ming Tianbei.

Could it be that someone in the Immortal Realm has also discovered my existence?

Thinking of this, a look of worry appeared on her little face.

But then she thought again, who knows how many terrifying beings are lurking in this Small Courtyard, and what about the unimaginable, peerless master like "Big Brother"? What do she have to fear? If anyone wants to capture her, perhaps only the most powerful among them could possibly do so?

She immediately regained her composure.

Upon hearing this, Li Fan was filled with anger!

When Mu Qianning said "someone from above is coming," she was clearly referring to those officials!

In Li Fan's understanding, "above" originally meant the government.

So it must be that as Mu Qianning and Huo Ling'er's business grew, it attracted the covetous eyes of those parasites.

Looking for someone is just an excuse; the real purpose is to extort money from them!

Back on Earth, Li Fan had seen far too many so-called "people from above" extorting money from ordinary people under various pretexts!

This is intolerable!

"And then?" he asked.

"We... we killed him in a moment of panic..."

Mu Qianning lowered her head.

Huo Ling'er was also feeling uneasy, and said, "Senior, it's all my fault for being too reckless and causing you trouble. If you want to blame someone, please blame me..."

But upon hearing this, Li Fan laughed heartily!

"What did you do wrong? So what if you killed them? If those people want revenge, just come here."

He spoke.

In the Profound Heaven Realm, death is a common occurrence, and moreover, those who die deserve their fate.

Moreover, how much power does the government of the Profound Heaven Realm really have? If they really investigate, Huo Ling'er and the others can just come here for refuge, and no one will be able to find them!

Even if you can't win, you can still avoid it!

Therefore, he was quite at ease about it.

Upon hearing this, Huo Ling'er and Mu Qianning were overjoyed!

Huo Ling'er thought to herself, "Senior Li's words clearly show that he doesn't take those beings above the Immortal Realm seriously at all!"

"I knew it! With Senior Li here, no evil person can cause trouble!"

Mu Qianning, on the other hand, was filled with admiration.

Both of them thanked Li Fan.

"It's nothing, no need to thank me."

Li Fan is very easygoing.

But in the next instant, a terrifying sound suddenly rang out from the heavens!

"Boom boom--"

It was as if ten thousand thunderbolts had suddenly resounded!

Everyone looked up and saw that the sky above the Southern Domain was trembling violently, as if some terrifying being was hammering the heavens!
