The sight of Su Shi'er's Immortal Body made Zhu Hanwei's eyes nearly split with anguish. He could not hold back a shrill cry.
He had known Demon God Xuantianjun was after Su Shi'er, but with so many Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators there to protect him—and Fairy Qionghua, who held the upper hand over the demon god—he had thought Su Shi'er would be safe.

The heart had long since stopped beating, yet incomparably pure Immortal Essence swirled around
