He turned his gaze toward the formation that was still operating nearby, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Haven't the nine lords returned yet?"
Just as he finished speaking, he heard chirping sounds near his ear.
Only then did he discover that somehow, a swallow's nest had been built on his shoulder, and the droppings from the baby swallows covered his neck.
But instead of being angry, the World Ender was delighted.
Swallows building a nest.
"Does this mean the nine lords are about to return?"
His face lit up with joy.
Hope rekindled in his eyes, which had been filled with despair.
"I'll wait no matter what."
Determination flashed in his eyes as he clenched his fist.
Speaking of Jiang Zhi.
After setting up the teleportation formation, she finally chose this day to return to the Eternal Immortal Continent.
"My Lord, you want to return during this time?"
Jiang Shang said with a grave expression: "We've received news that Zeng Rentu has married the daughter of the Desolate Immortal Continent Lord. Not only is Huang Qinglian in the Eternal Immortal Continent right after their wedding, but even the Desolate Immortal Continent Lord himself is still there!"
"Going there now would be like walking into a tiger's den!"
"Say no more. We're going back now to deal with them quickly. We still need to return to guard the teleportation formation," Jiang Zhi said expressionlessly.
Jiang Shang and the others were speechless.
Made it sound like seeking revenge was as casual as paying a social visit. How could she make it sound so simple?
Mid-grade immortal artifacts.
The Desolate Immortal Continent Lord.
Each one of them was like a mountain pressing down on their heads.
They really wanted to ask.
Where did this confidence come from?
They felt their lord had become somewhat different after being released from Dark Shadow Island.
More importantly, even if the revenge succeeded, shouldn't she continue being the Lord of the Eternal Immortal Continent? Why come back to guard a teleportation formation?
Jiang Zhi didn't speak.
Instead, she glanced at Lu Qingshan and Wu Yonghong beside her.
With two Human Immortals present.
What was the Desolate Immortal Continent Lord to fear?
Moreover, she had more than twenty top-grade immortal artifacts.
As for being the Lord of the Eternal Immortal Continent...
She no longer cared about being the lord of one of the Lower Three Continents!
Seeing Jiang Zhi's insistence, Jiang Shang and the others had no choice but to give in.
At this moment, one of the subordinates shifted his gaze.
He quietly slipped away.
When no one was around, he took out a communication jade slip.
"Your subordinate Bai Fan pays respects to the Lord."
"Mm, do you have any news?" From the other end of the jade slip came a voice that Jiang Zhi would have recognized as Zeng Rentu's.
"Reporting to my Lord, since her release, Jiang Zhi has ordered us to guard a teleportation formation, though I don't know why," Bai Fan said in a low voice.
"A teleportation formation?"
"What kind of formation?"
Zeng Rentu asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know what kind of formation it is, but from my observation, it seems to be just a small-scale teleportation formation, so my Lord need not worry too much about it," Bai Fan said.
"Then why are you contacting me?" Zeng Rentu asked gravely.
"I'm contacting you to inform you that Jiang Zhi plans to return to the Eternal Immortal Continent today to seek revenge against you, my Lord!" Bai Fan said.
Zeng Rentu showed a surprised expression and sneered: "Putting aside whether she's my match now, doesn't she know that Qinglian and my father-in-law are currently in the Eternal Immortal Continent?"
"Isn't she just seeking death by coming at this time?"
"This... your subordinate doesn't know,"
Bai Fan said in a low voice.
"Something's not right here."
Zeng Rentu said gravely: "Given Jiang Zhi's personality, she never fights battles she's not confident of winning. If she didn't have some trump card, she would never make such a decision. Tell me, besides you all, are there any unfamiliar people by her side?"
"Quickly, what kind of people?"
"Two Human Immortals!"
Zeng Rentu was stunned, "Two Human Immortals?"
"You're not mistaken?"
