Mystic Sanctuary!!

With that thought, she no longer remained suspended high above.

She took a step.

Just one step.

Hum—!

Thousands of warriors present sucked in a breath at once!

Countless pupils contracted!

The moment Gu Hanxi's foot touched the air, the space behind her—

Shattered inch by inch!

It did not tear or twist. It collapsed utterly, absolutely!

Countless black, fathomless cracks spread like a spiderweb, as though they could swallow everything!

At their edges, chaotic spatial currents surged wildly.

It was a miracle.

Every warrior present, Human Clan or Sea Clan, Fourth Grade or Sixth Grade—even Eighth-Rank Grandmasters like Xiao Shan and Blue Whale—felt their pupils contract!

Space had collapsed!

That was a feat only those at the level of a Ninth-Rank Venerable or above could perform!

Even many Venerables who had only recently reached the ninth rank could not do it with such effortless control!

Who in the world was this woman?!

Gu Hanxi paid no heed to the gasps and cries around her.

Her foot touched down again.

In the next instant, her figure crossed the bounds of space.

From a thousand yards in the air, she appeared directly on the bow deck of the Human Clan fleet.

She stood less than three meters from Qin Yan.

A faint, cool fragrance quietly spread with her arrival.

Xiao Shan was the first to react.

The Human Clan Grandmaster, who could face an army without changing expression, trembled slightly. Then he bent at the waist in a deep bow!

"This junior, Xiao Shan, greets the Venerable!"

His voice was soft, but it carried unprecedented gravity and reverence.

Behind him, Liu Mu, Lin Shui, the military leaders, and the soldiers who had fought seemed to wake from a dream. They bowed as one, their cries rising like a tide:

"Greetings, Venerable!"
