Deep within the sea of lightning, a point of starlight bloomed, dispelling the darkness.
"Having fled this far, I should be safe for the moment. I need to deal with my injuries as soon as possible."
Revealing her true form and examining herself inwardly, True Lord Xuanji's expression turned exceptionally grim. Her old wounds had yet to heal when new ones were added; her condition had truly deteriorated to the extreme.
"How did Purple Intent and the Jade-Faced Snake Emperor find me? They came far too quickly."
Her thoughts churned, and the lake of True Lord Xuanji's heart remained unsettled for a long while.
"I'll suppress my injuries, then immediately move elsewhere. This place is not somewhere I can linger."
Letting out a long breath and suppressing her tangled thoughts, True Lord Xuanji brought out the Vermilion Bird Ring.
Buzz. Streams of fiery light cascaded down. Bathed within them, life and death transformed, and True Lord Xuanji's originally unstable aura slowly calmed.
Just as True Lord Xuanji was doing her utmost to suppress her injuries, a figure had already traced the starlight through the sea of lightning.
"It's here."
His dharma eyes illuminated all, ignoring every concealment. True Lord Yingling accurately caught that glimmer of starlight. Without hesitation, he directly activated his divine ability.
Roar! A green dragon extended its claw, and vast dragon might scoured heaven and earth. Under this strike, the protective measures True Lord Xuanji had left behind were torn apart as though made of paper, while Star River Palace, which should have reacted, dimmed at this very moment.
Earlier, to escape Purple Intent Daoist and the Jade-Faced Snake Emperor's ambush, True Lord Xuanji had already used Star River Palace's hidden power. More importantly, True Lord Yingling also possessed a measure of control over Star River Palace.
