Above the flames of the Black Lotus of the Other Shore, an enormous dark-gold humanoid phantom appeared. Its supreme pressure could make heaven and earth submit, seeming loftier than the sky and vaster than the land. It even spread across the boundary between realms, filling the world and freezing everyone in place.
"Great Ancestor," the Savior of the World said respectfully at once.
"Great Ancestor."
Nearby, the Sutra Preacher and the Cat Keeper also fell to their knees in reverence.
"A Demon Ancestor?" The Golden Crow Girl's expression darkened. She watched the flames above the Black Lotus warily, not daring to move rashly.
Even though she was at the Supreme One Realm, half a step from the Heavenly Dao, and an entire realm separated them, this was still an Ancestor of the Outer Demons who served the Outer Path Sovereign. Even an ordinary Heavenly Dao Powerhouse might be no match for him. How could she afford carelessness?
"Little Eleven."
Just then, Youchan's primordial spirit transmission suddenly sounded in the Golden Crow Girl's ears. "Get ready to take me and flee. Demon Ancestor Mingye is one of the Demon Ancestors utterly loyal to 'It.' He will never let me go."
They had to flee already?
The Golden Crow Girl paused, then asked through a transmission, "Even if he's a Demon Ancestor, with the heavenly and mortal realms separating us, there isn't much he can do to me, is there?"
Youchan fell silent for a moment before transmitting, "If we can escape... we should count ourselves lucky to be alive. We have to get out of the Demon Domain and wait for Lin Zhishui to act. Only then can Mingye be stopped."
"Father?" the Golden Crow Girl asked in confusion. "But with such a huge commotion, why hasn't Father done anything yet?"
