In the sky above the Immortal Continent,
Li Taibai, who usually rode his green ox backward, was now sitting on it properly for the first time.
Jia Jiaqin led an imposing army composed of three thousand phoenixes, five thousand ancient beasts, ten thousand mutated divine dragons, and thirty thousand mythical creatures whose names were unknown. This grand force surged through the sky with an awe-inspiring presence.
Hong Fengkuang, who had just finished self-destructing in a fight, swiftly regenerated his severed limbs and soared past, trailing a violent aura akin to blazing flames.
From the yellow earth, Bai Qiyu, the bald man who still couldn’t fly, struggled to keep up, his cape fluttering as he nearly ran his legs off.
From another direction, Xiao Zhan and Mo Tianji from Zhu Jishan also raced across the sky.
Meanwhile, Wu Chang'an’s one billion clones scattered across the Immortal Realm were also converging toward the Blue Lotus Immortal Continent.
Apart from these individuals, fellow disciples from other regions were also making their way there in various ways.
Every face bore an expression of fury.
Zhang Renyong, with a small group of people, was cleaning up the remnants of the Zhang family.
The family he had built from scratch had been reduced to ruins, and his hair had turned white overnight. Once cheerful and outgoing, he had now become silent and withdrawn.
Beside him, Li Jin watched with a heavy heart.
While waiting for the other disciples to arrive, Li Jin had learned about Zhang Renyong’s relationship with Yun Wu. He couldn’t help but walk over and gently pat Zhang Renyong’s shoulder.
In a soft, comforting voice, he said, “Don’t worry, Yun Wu will be fine. We’ll bring her back.”
The aged Zhang Renyong looked up and forced a bitter smile.
Though he didn’t know why the Heavenly Immortal Palace had come to abduct someone, who could possibly rescue anyone taken by them?
A bunch of Earth Immortals?
Of course, he didn’t mean to belittle Li Jin.
It was just that the might of the Heavenly Immortal Palace was too deeply ingrained in their minds.
Li Jin, seeing through his thoughts, didn’t take offense. Instead, he patiently said, “Wait until my fellow disciples gather. You’ll see.”
Xiao Zhan, who was the nearest, arrived.
“Senior Brother Li Jin,” he called out urgently.
As soon as he arrived, Xiao Zhan began questioning.
“Senior Sister Yun Wu has been captured—by the Heavenly Immortal Palace!” Li Jin replied.
“The Heavenly Immortal Palace captured Senior Sister Yun Wu?”
Xiao Zhan’s rage burned fiercely as he coldly declared, “Then what are we waiting for, Senior Brother? Let’s storm the Heavenly Immortal Palace right now!”
Li Jin calmed him down, saying, “We don’t know where they’ve taken her yet. Be patient. Wait for the others to arrive, and we’ll plan together.”
Xiao Zhan clenched his teeth and sat down cross-legged to wait.
A few hours later, Bai Qiyu, Su Yanjin, Chi Yitong, and more than ten others arrived. Upon hearing that Yun Wu had been captured, they were all filled with fury, eager to charge into the Heavenly Immortal Palace immediately.
However, after Li Jin’s persuasion, they finally calmed down and sat quietly, waiting for the rest of their fellow disciples to arrive.
Zhang Renyong, who had initially held some hope for Li Jin and the others, sighed deeply when he saw that all who had arrived were Earth Immortals.
Especially when he heard them repeatedly shouting about storming the Heavenly Immortal Palace, he didn’t know what to say.
A group of Earth Immortals wanting to attack the Heavenly Immortal Palace? It sounded like a joke.
Didn’t they understand what the Heavenly Immortal Palace represented?
“Young ones,” Zhang Renyong advised, “the Heavenly Immortal Palace is a behemoth we cannot contend with. You should give up.”
Though he didn’t believe in their strength, he admired their dedication to Yun Wu.
He couldn’t bear to watch them throw their lives away.
As soon as his words fell, a tremendous commotion erupted in the sky.
The sky darkened as a massive swarm of beasts descended, enveloping the entire city. Under this overwhelming pressure, everyone in the city trembled and fell to their knees.
Even Zhang Renyong felt his legs go weak.
When he looked closely, he realized these were no ordinary beasts.
They were divine phoenixes with long, flowing tails and golden-scaled true dragons radiating light…
