"From the look of things, I'm afraid... it's already too late!"
Kunming muttered under his breath.
His gaze fell on Su Shi'er. After a moment's hesitation, he decided against attacking again.
The Core Mansion Seal had already been partially refined.
Even if he killed Su Shi'er now, the Mansion Seal would very likely take the entire Immortal Mansion and vanish back into the depths of space.
Besides, Kong Yue, Hu Meier, and the others were watching nearby like tigers stalking their prey.
If he kept fighting, the risks would far outweigh the gains.
As imperial preceptor of the Demon Race, Kunming had his own way of doing things.
Knowing the matter was beyond him, he would never waste his strength for the sake of wounded pride.
His mind made up, he swept his sleeve.
The phantom Kunpeng behind him did not attack Su Shi'er.
Instead, it opened its enormous mouth and lunged at several palaces around the Immortal Pivot that had not yet fully collapsed.
Those palaces were where the Qingyun Immortal Mansion had once stored formation materials, immortal spirit crystals, and all manner of cultivation resources.
Protected by the Immortal Lord's Remnant Restriction, they had previously been impossible for outsiders to approach.

The Kunpeng's enormous maw descended.
Three palaces were uprooted, and Kunming swallowed them into the Heaven-Swallowing Scroll along with the countless cultivation resources piled inside.
Two other nearby palaces were caught in the terrifying pull and flew swiftly toward the Kunpeng's maw.
"Kunming, you really refuse to take the slightest loss!"
Kong Yue gave a cold snort.
The Five-Colored Divine Light swept past and intercepted one of the palaces.
Kunming smiled
