The Abandoned Young Master of a Wealthy Cultivation Family

Chapter 5049 Immortal Reappears

"With Master's abilities, even if she is no match for that Demon Emperor's projection, she would have more than enough to protect herself and leave. If the Demon Kingdom truly wants to keep her here permanently, it would require either the Demon Ancestor's personal intervention or the heavy price of several Immortal Realm cultivators perishing. However, the Demon Kingdom has just suffered a major blow from the chaos in Xiantian Demon City and is clearly not at the point where it would be willing to pay any price. Therefore, Master will definitely be able to leave."

Hearing this, Su Bai felt a great weight lifted from his heart and nodded, "Senior Sister is absolutely right. I was just worried and confused."

The Void Cauldron traced a dazzling trail through the sea of ​​stars, and the two stood side by side, each silent.

The Immortal Lady Langhuan gazed into the now-obscured battlefield behind her with a look of undisguised sorrow and desolation.

"The Heavenly Army should have almost completely withdrawn by now," she said softly, her voice sounding exceptionally ethereal in the silent starry sky.

Su Bai remained silent for a moment, his mind filled with images of those divine bodies exploding in the starry sky, the blood of countless comrades.

"In attacking Xiantian Demon City, our Heavenly Court dispatched more than three hundred Divine Realm experts, all of whom were elites from various regions. Now, after this battle, I'm afraid only a hundred or so will be able to escape alive."

As for the armies below the divine realm, the casualties were countless, with hundreds of millions of lives buried far from home, turning into dust in this star field.

"But for the Taihuang Heavenly Court, this is already a great victory." Immortal Venerable Langhuan said slowly. Although her words were certain, there was not much joy in her tone.

Su Bai turned his head, his gaze fixed on the deep, boundless darkness, as if he saw countless heroic souls weeping. He sighed softly, his voice low and somber: "A Pyrrhic victory."

It was a Pyrrhic victory built on countless lives and bloodshed.

Although the Heavenly Court dealt a heavy blow to the Demon Kingdom and shattered its myth of invincibility, the price it paid was equally heart-wrenching.

The Immortal Venerable Langhuan also sighed softly, "There's nothing we can do about it."

The Demon Kingdom has ruled the Great Wilderness for countless years, its foundation is unfathomable, and its powerful figures are as numerous as clouds.

"The fact that we've achieved this much, even forcing an Immortal to break the rules and intervene personally, is already incredibly remarkable. After this battle, the spark within the hearts of all beings in the Primordial Wilderness has been ignited, and that's the most important thing."

As the two talked, Su Bai's speed in controlling the Void Cauldron did not decrease at all; he continued to frantically traverse space. He knew that as long as he did not return to the Heavenly Court's absolute control area, danger could strike at any moment.

However, just as Su Bai was about to respond, an unprecedentedly terrifying chill instantly shot from his tailbone straight to the top of his head!

The feeling was like being stared at by an ancient ferocious beast, making even your soul tremble.

"Oh no! There are still Immortal Realm cultivators!!"

Su Bai gasped in surprise, his pupils suddenly contracting to needle size.

Almost at the same instant his voice rang out, a sudden change occurred in the previously empty and boundless starry sky ahead!

“Rumble——!!!”

With a deafening roar that sent shivers down your spine, space shattered as if a mirror had been laid. A colossal, ancient, and weathered blue stone tablet burst through the void and crashed down from the sky!

This stone tablet was enormous, resembling an ancient divine mountain stretching across the Milky Way, completely blocking all paths of the Void Cauldron. The tablet was covered in moss, exuding a deathly stillness and chilling aura accumulated over time.

"Crash-"

Immediately afterwards, countless jet-black chains, like venomous snakes emerging from their holes, spread wildly from the blue stone tablet. These chains were not physical entities, but rather formed from some strange, immortal law. They crisscrossed and intertwined, instantly transforming into a massive void cage that completely sealed off the star field within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, trapping Su Bai and Immortal Venerable Langhuan within it.

Along these thousands of chains, countless obscure and difficult-to-understand restrictive runes flickered. With each flicker of these runes, the surrounding space solidified slightly.

Su Bai frantically activated the Void Cauldron beneath his feet, attempting a spatial jump.

However, the Void Cauldron, which was usually invincible, was now stuck in a quagmire, emitting a buzzing wail, and was unable to break through the layers of spatial blockade!

"The space is completely locked! Even with the Void Cauldron in hand, it's impossible to break through the void and leave in a short time!" Su Bai was horrified, and his face instantly turned extremely ugly.

He raised his head, his gaze fixed on the huge blue stone tablet.

The stone tablet was covered with numerous ancient characters.

Su Bai stared intently at them, and they turned out to be names!

Each name exudes a soaring resentment and a bloody aura, as if it were a soul that had been forged into a living being.

At the top of that blue stone tablet, a slightly thin figure sat casually.

It was a man who looked young, wearing a faded blue short shirt, with one leg casually dangling off the edge of the stone tablet, and playing with a long-haired brush that was about half a person's height in his hand.

He looked like a down-on-his-luck scholar, but the aura he exuded made the surrounding stars pale in comparison.

The man looked down at Su Bai and Immortal Venerable Langhuan with a mocking smile, as if he were looking at two prey who had fallen into a trap.

"Oh, there's an unexpected bonus."

The man spoke with a smile, his voice not loud, but it clearly pierced through the void and resounded in the minds of Su Bai and the other man, "I thought I could only stop that little fish, but I didn't expect that even the Immortal Venerable Langhuan of the Taihuang Heavenly Court is here. It's really a buy-one-get-one-free deal, wonderful, wonderful."

Su Bai felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy, and his entire body tensed up to the limit, protecting the Immortal Venerable Langhuan half a body length behind him.

He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Who are you? A powerful expert at the Immortal Realm, how dare you ambush us on the way? Isn't that a bit too disrespectful of your status?"

Upon hearing this, the figure in green laughed heartily, his laughter filled with unbridled arrogance.

"Not particular? There's nothing I can do about it."

The man in blue stopped swinging his leg, and lightly touched the air with his brush, spreading a blot of ink. "You little fellow, you are truly remarkable. Even that arrogant Bai Yan was defeated by you, and the other gods of my Demon Kingdom are all incapable of shouldering great responsibilities. A bunch of useless people mobilized so many people, yet they couldn't stop you alone."

"Leaving us with no other choice, we old bones of the Immortal Realm, who should have been watching from behind the scenes, had to take action ourselves."

At this point, the man in blue suddenly sharpened his gaze. Although he was still smiling, the smile did not reach his eyes, which were filled with a chilling killing intent.

"With your abilities, you can even defeat the Demon Lord at the Divine Realm. If we don't kill you and let you grow stronger, my Demon Kingdom will never be at peace. Today, you must die."
