The Ancient One Bows Her Head

"The host leaves while the guest remains. Isn't that rather discourteous for a host?"

The voice rang through Ancient One's mind like a great bell, shaking her spirit.

At the same time, the space around her astral form began to stretch and warp.

The next second, Ancient One, who had been standing before a portal high in the air, found herself in Kamar-Taj's courtyard.

"Magic that can bind my soul, along with spatial folding and teleportation that affect reality on such a vast scale!"

"Damn it, Earth has actually been visited by an existence even stronger than dimensional demon gods like Dormammu!"

"Why didn't the magic formation formed by the Sanctums react?"

Astral Projection was Ancient One's most powerful ability, allowing her spirit and body to separate.

Freed from the constraints of her frail body, Ancient One in her soul state could neither be seen nor touched, and was unaffected by physical laws.

Even the multiversal energy she borrowed would be enhanced!

It was precisely because of this technique that she had been able to contend with Dormammu for so long and keep him outside Earth.

Thus, she had intimidated the multiverse and made countless powerful beings wary of her.

But now, it was completely useless. She was even floating before someone like a helpless chick.

Feng Xu frowned slightly as he looked at the white-bearded old man floating before him like a ghost, seemingly displeased.

"How can cultivators like us be so timid? You fled by casting off your Primordial Spirit before we even exchanged blows?"

"What a waste of your cultivation as an immortal. Fellow Daoist, you have disappointed me greatly!"

Ancient One: "???"

Cultivator? Casting off her Primordial Spirit? Immortal cultivation? Fellow Daoist?

What are you talking about?

Ancient One's eyes widened, her face filled with the stunned expression of someone thinking, Do you even hear yourself?

Though she was old and looked easy to fool.

Wasn't it a bit excessive to try deceiving her with myths and webnovel nonsense?

She was still Earth's strongest sorcerer, after all. At least show her some respect!

Before Ancient One could make sense of it, Feng Xu's expression suddenly changed.

With a wave of his hand, spiritual power burst forth and pulled Ancient One's physical body out of the distant library.

Then a hint of interest appeared in his eyes.

"How strange. Her soul has reached the peak of the Human Immortal realm and transformed into a Primordial Spirit, yet her physical body is so weak that it is only on the level of a mortal martial artist."

"This method of cultivating only the soul while neglecting the body is rather interesting indeed!"

"It is as interesting as an adult still wearing split-crotch pants and drinking milk!"

The two successive remarks about it being interesting, coupled with Feng Xu's choice of comparison, instantly darkened Ancient One's face.

Did she not want to cultivate her body? Did she want to be a glass cannon?

She had no choice!

The energy used to cast magic was either stolen or borrowed. Other than desperately cultivating her mind, what else could she do?

While Ancient One silently complained, Kamar-Taj's courtyard had already filled with armed sorcerers.

They had also seen Ancient One's unconscious physical body floating before Feng Xu and Natasha.

The sight made everyone's eyes redden with fury. Wong, who stood at the front, pointed at Feng Xu and Natasha and shouted.

"They are the intruders! They killed the Sorcerer Supreme too!"

"Teacher! Sorcerer Supreme!" Everyone's faces were filled with rage.

Especially Kaecilius and Mordo, Ancient One's disciples.

The moment Wong shouted, golden magical shields lit up in both their hands, and they charged toward Feng Xu.

Rings of Raggadorr!

Seeing the two take the lead, Hamir, the only master sorcerer present, also sprang into action.

He raised his armless forearm, swung it forcefully, and shouted.

"All sorcerers to the front! Apprentices, provide ranged weapon support! Rescue the Sorcerer Supreme and defend Kamar-Taj!"

Seeing Kaecilius and Mordo move, and hearing Hamir's words, everyone immediately found their backbone.

No longer lingering around the edges, they all raised the golden magical shields known as the Rings of Raggadorr and rushed forward with shouts.

"Rescue the Sorcerer Supreme! Defend Kamar-Taj!"

Faced with the crowd charging at them, Natasha was visibly frightened and hurriedly hid beside Feng Xu.

Feng Xu, however, did not look worried in the slightest.

Watching the two swing their magical shields at him, Feng Xu merely leaned back casually and uttered two words.

"Too noisy."

His voice seemed to carry magic, as though it had flipped some kind of switch.

In an instant, the world around them suddenly changed.

The next second, they had arrived at the highest point of Kamar-Taj.

As Feng Xu leaned back, his buttocks did not land on the ground.

Instead, he sat at the spot where Ancient One usually drank tea at the summit, then picked up a cup of tea.

Kaecilius and Mordo, who had been throwing punches at him, suddenly found empty space beneath their feet.

Their punches lost all leverage, and their bodies fell downward in weightlessness.

The other sorcerers behind them fared no better, tumbling like dumplings onto the surrounding rooftops and ground.

"This is stronger than the magic Teacher uses to affect reality with the Mirror Dimension!"

Kaecilius and Mordo cried out in shock.

This was reality, not the Mirror Dimension.

To affect real space over such a wide area so effortlessly was practically the power of a mighty god or demon beyond dimensions!

Feng Xu ignored their shocked cries. Instead, he raised his teacup and praised the dazed Ancient One before him.

"The tea is good. Your spell for making tea is rather interesting."

As his words fell, the entire space underwent another strange transformation.

The whole world began to stretch, while every surrounding building and patch of ground was dismantled like building blocks.

Everyone standing on the buildings and ground was separated along with them, as if they had boarded tiny boats.

Beneath the dismantled buildings and ground lay a boundless abyss with no end in sight.

Hearing Feng Xu's praise, Ancient One finally recovered from her shock and lowered her head.

"Powerful one, you have already shown mercy by not killing anyone. Ancient One is willing to hear your demands."

"I like smart people." Seeing that Ancient One knew her place, Feng Xu nodded in satisfaction.

As he set down his teacup, he released the restraint on Ancient One's soul.

As the sound of the cup touching the tea table rang out, the surrounding world changed violently once more.

In an instant, all the separated buildings and ground vanished.

The separated sorcerers once again found empty space beneath their feet and fell downward.

Only now, beneath them was not an endless abyss, but Kamar-Taj's original courtyard.

This unfathomable display immediately made every sorcerer who landed safely on the ground afraid to act rashly again.

Of course, except for the two hotheads, Kaecilius and Mordo.

"Give us back our teacher's life!"
