"Is the one who remains anonymous a powerful figure hidden in the Nether Sea?"

Immortal Venerable Yuheng personally cured Su Ming and then inquired about his condition in detail.

Following Han Xuanji's instructions, Su Ming lowered his head and answered in a weak but clear voice:

"Reporting to Master, at that time my consciousness was blurred. I only vaguely saw starlight dispel the darkness, and a blurry figure descended. In the blink of an eye, that demon was subdued."

The senior disciple did not leave his name. After healing some of the disciple's injuries, he escorted the disciple away from the Nether Sea.

"This kind of behavior suggests a powerful cultivator in the Immortal Dao."

"Cultivating the Dao of Stars and traveling in the Nether Sea, could he be a powerful figure from the Star Palace?"

The Immortal Venerable quickly came to a guess.

Especially Immortal Venerable Changgeng, who himself was a secondary cultivator of the Dao of Stars, sighed:

"This powerful figure's cultivation on the Great Dao of Stars should be at the Daluo level, which is rare even in the Star Palace. Su Ming is truly very lucky."

The chiefs of the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace were both angry and delighted. They were angry that the Devil Race were indeed treacherous and cunning, and delighted that Su Ming was alive.

Although they had guessed that someone with such great fortune wouldn't perish so easily, they were still quite pleased to hear what had happened.

The fact that this mysterious senior was willing to help Su Ming shows that he could be won over.

To be able to kill a Taiyi Golden Immortal so easily, one is very likely an existence above Taiyi.

"However, these Devil Race have truly become clever. Unlike before, when they always acted openly, now they resort to all sorts of schemes and tricks."

Immortal Venerable Yuxuan was somewhat displeased.

He cultivates the Sword Dao, so head-on confrontation is naturally no problem for him. Even without Daluo Immortal, he is not afraid of anyone of the same realm.

But now, powerful Devil Race are starting to use various means to win over strong individuals and launch sneak attacks on Immortal Dao immortals.

In fact, it wasn't just Spirit Void Heavenly Palace; many geniuses from Immortal Dao sects also perished.

In recent years, the geniuses on the Immortal Dao Heaven's Chosen Ranking have all begun to live a secluded life.

It's not like he's on the Heaven's Chosen Ranking, it's like he's on the list of assassins.

"It's definitely related to that Devil Master; under his leadership, the Devil Race have become much more troublesome."

Immortal Venerable Tianji revealed a powerful figure who had risen to prominence only in the last ten thousand years.

The other party was originally a prodigy of the Immortal Dao path, but he defected to the Devil Race Devil Race and devised strategies for them. Now he has even become Daluo Immortal of the demon path, with three hundred disciples, most of whom are peerless prodigies of the Devil Race race, including many Devil Race at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level.

Meanwhile, in the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace, at the Medicine King Hall.

In a quiet room filled with Spiritual Qi, Jiang Hao sat cross-legged on a jade couch, his body enveloped in a faint blue halo.

His face was still somewhat pale, and his breath was much weaker than before, but he was much better than when his immortal bones were taken away and he was on the verge of destruction.

Perhaps due to the experience of having his immortal bones dug out, although his foundation was damaged again this time, it was not as dangerous as before, and he quickly stabilized his realm.

Jiang Hao slowly opened his eyes, feeling the immortal power within his body, which, though sluggish, had finally stabilized. A complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

The loss of his immortal bones was still significant. If his sect and Lineage hadn't spared no expense, using countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures him continue his Dao Path, he would have been a cripple by now.

Brother Su...

He murmured softly, his eyes filled with guilt and worry.

If it weren't for protecting him that day, Su Ming wouldn't have been seriously injured and kidnapped by that mysterious expert, and his whereabouts and fate remain unknown to this day.

Compared to his own Dao Path, this worry was so heavy that he could hardly breathe.

"Squeak--"

The door to the quiet room was gently pushed open, and a figure walked in—it was Li Changsheng.

He was carrying a jade pot, which contained medicinal meals he had specially retrieved from the Spirit Cuisine Shop to nourish his vital energy.

"Brother Jiang, how are you feeling?"

Li Changsheng placed the jade pot on the jade table beside him and asked with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, Brother Li. I'm much better now, but..."

Jiang Hao gave a wry smile and shook his head.

"His cultivation level has plummeted, and it may be difficult to recover."

That's what he said, but what Li Changsheng saw in his eyes was more of an upward-looking mentality than despair.

Li Changsheng sat down beside him, remained silent for a moment, and then said:

"As long as you're alive, there's hope. You were dug up once before, but you survived, didn't you?"

"Haha, that's true."

Jiang Hao smiled wryly:

"However, I wonder how Brother Su is doing?"

Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng replied:

"I came here to tell you this good news: Senior Brother Su has returned safely and is unharmed."

"Good, good."

Jiang Hao couldn't help but smile.

"He was blessed with good fortune; at the critical moment of life and death, he was saved by a senior figure."

Li Changsheng sighed.

At this point, he couldn't help but think of something.

Isn't it a bit too much of a coincidence that Su Ming was rescued shortly after he informed Han Xuanji of this?

He then recounted the incident, which surprised Jiang Hao as well.

"It's not impossible."

"Could it be that Senior Brother Han's background is even more powerful than we thought?"

He didn't dismiss Li Changsheng's words as mere fantasy; instead, he thought about them seriously.

"In that case, Senior Brother Han's backing must be even stronger than the Jiang Household and the Heavenly Palace."

"It's possible that Senior Brother Han took action personally."

Li Changsheng said with an air of seriousness.

The two then exchanged a smile, clearly finding their bold guess unrealistic.

Myriad Phenomena Garden

Li Taiqing was still reporting the intelligence he had gathered to Han Xuanji.

"Master, it is said that a powerful figure from the Star Palace saved Uncle Su Ming. It is indeed as you predicted."

"Okay, it's good that you're alright."

Han Xuanji didn't even blink, studying the newly acquired " True Dragon ".

The dragon egg is about the size of a millstone, with a warm, jade-white shell covered with a fine, naturally formed golden pattern, subtly exuding a powerful life force.

The system rewards a live egg, not a dead one.

Li Taiqing didn't think much of it, assuming that Han Xuanji had learned the news through other means, and continued:

" The Heavenly Palace has discovered the mastermind behind this; it's likely the Devil Master, and it seems he's also allied with another force."

"Oh?"

Han Xuanji seemed to be deep in thought.

The group that initially attacked Jiang Hao and Su Ming did not appear to be Devil Race. This was the answer Jiang Hao obtained using his Heavenly Eye. Although it might be misleading, the possibility of them being from the Immortal Dao path could not be ruled out.

The Nirvana Immortal Bone possesses many profound abilities. While it would certainly benefit the Devil Race, the benefits would undoubtedly be greater if a prodigy of the Immortal Dao path obtained it.

"Unfortunately, a powerful cultivator with profound knowledge of the Great Dao of Fate erased its traces."

Han Xuanji shook her head.

Even with his current level of expertise, he could only discern a few clues.

It was a powerful figure from a non- Human Race force who made a move.

"Are they from the Golden Crow Clan?"

Han Xuanji immediately thought of this ambitious clan.

However, he didn't think too much about it. The Golden Crow Divine Race, as the ruler of the Demon Court, had allied with many ancient races and had a great influence. Even if it was them who did it, the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace and the Jiang Household could only suffer in silence.
