"I know who she is! She's Shi Zhao from the Desolate Region!"
Within Immortal Mountain, a Venerable shouted, finally recognizing who had stormed their gates.
The gods stood high above the mortal world, indifferent to its affairs, and perhaps had only heard of her. But for Venerables like them, it was hard not to know of the woman who had stirred up storms throughout the Desolate Region.
Not long ago, they had dispatched a Venerable bearing a divine decree and a Divine Artifact to join forces with several other supreme sects and pressure her in the Desolate Region.
The outcome had defied all expectations. All six Venerables had been crippled, shaking those great sects.
How much time had passed since then? The sects had not even responded yet, and she had already stormed Immortal Mountain. Where had she found the confidence?
"So it's her." Among the Qin Clan's gods, someone else came to a sudden realization.
Hearing the cries below, Qin Wu learned who the intruder was. He had issued the earlier divine decree himself, so he naturally knew something about Shi Zhao.
"An astonishing talent. Unfortunately, she's a little girl too foolish for words." He manifested his dharma form and stood high in the sky, looking down at Shi Zhao with icy eyes.

"Ignorant brat! You dare invade Immortal Mountain? We will suppress you!" His face was livid. An instant of carelessness had cost him a hand, profaning his divine might. This was utterly unforgivable.
Shi Zhao felt no fear. In fact, she almost wanted to laugh.
