As soon as Hua Rong finished speaking, the air in the room froze.

After a long pause, Lü Shu finally managed to utter a sentence: "Even when death is imminent, you still have to be stubborn."

Hua Rong gave a strange smile: "Is that so?"

“You—” Qingxin’s cultivation was still more profound. He saw the key point, took two quick steps, seemingly wanting to grab Hua Rong, but in the end he only grabbed a void.

Hua Rong, who had just been right in front of the two, seemed like a phantom, as if he had never existed.

But her indifferent and cold voice rang in Qingxin and Lü Shu's ears.

"The 'blinded by a leaf' technique is indeed effective, but it seems my method is still superior. Qingxin, you haven't killed any living beings in the past thousand years, so I'll give you another thousand years. Then, I'll take your life..."

"Damn it!" Lu Shu unleashed a black demonic aura at the spot where Hua Rong had just stood, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace.

"Immortal Venerable Qingxin, didn't you say there would be no problem? How come she still got away?"

What others didn't know was that Lü Shu was afraid at this moment.

She was known as the strongest in the heavens, and she had even broken through to the Tribulation Transcending stage.

He was filled with regret at this moment. Who would have thought that the woman who was only at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage was actually an avatar of the Cold Immortal Ancestor!

Even now, when he thinks about it, he still finds it both funny and sad.

It's not uncommon for powerful beings to create clones, but it's truly rare for someone like Hua Rong to allow his clones to enter the mortal world.

But it's too late for regrets now; he has already offended Hua Rong.

If I don't want to die, the only way is to kill her.

If a person doesn't look out for themselves, they'll be punished by heaven and earth.

Lu Shu felt that the reason he was able to cultivate from a useless person to his current Nascent Soul cultivation level was because God didn't want him to remain unknown.

If that's the case, why did he have to die?

Once he kills his enemy, he will surely become the first person to ascend to immortality in ten thousand years!

Upon hearing Lü Shu's words, Qingxin flicked her hand slightly.

Lu Shu passed through the wall and landed heavily on the street of Siren Town.

Qingxin stepped forward and stood in the air, her expression cold and bloodthirsty: "You must remember your identity."

The streets of Siren Town were no longer bustling with activity; the entire town was now deserted.

Apart from him and Qingxin, there was no one else alive.

A cold wind blew by, sounding like cries, which moved people to tears.

The deathly stillness, unlike any other quiet or stillness, made the entire Siren Town seem like a purgatory.

This place is indeed a purgatory; it has been deserted for over two thousand years.

It was Qingxin who cast a spell to keep it in its former splendor before its death.

But magic is magic; it may fool low-level ants, but it cannot fool Hua Rong, the strongest person in the area.

Lu Shu gritted his teeth, knelt on one knee, and bowed his head to admit his mistake: "Master, it was my fault."

Qingxin didn't look at him, but stared at the town beneath her feet, and said regretfully, "What a pity about this formation."

This killing formation is meant to send Hua Rong directly to immortality.

This place was also the burial ground he chose for her after a long time.

But now, it's no longer needed.

But when exactly did she leave?

======

In the wasteland, Hua Rong sat on the ground with his eyes closed, his face pale.

After opening her eyes, she sent several transmission talismans to the righteous sects, such as the Taiyi Sect, who revered her.

After doing all this, a tattered rag doll appeared out of thin air in her hand. The doll looked unusually tattered, hanging by only a few strands of thread, about to fall apart.

"Transcending tribulation, transcending tribulation."

Having narrowly escaped death, Hua Rong finally understood her current strength.

Although she had long suspected that Qingxin had attacked Shamo, she could not find any clues.

Therefore, the reason for inviting him to Siren Town this time was to confront him directly.

However, no matter how careful she was, she was unaware that there are those who are blinded by a single leaf and those who are blinded by a single tree.

What they didn't know was that the seaside town, which had a long history, was actually a ghost town.

She foolishly walked right into the trap someone had set for her.

When she first entered Siren Town, she didn't notice anything amiss.

It was during the long absence of the Demon King and the unchanging daily clamor in Siren Town that he understood everything.

But at that time, it would be even more difficult for her to leave.

Fortunately, this long period of time allowed her to understand the difference between the Tribulation Transcending level and the Void Transformation level.

To transform oneself into a puppet, and to transform oneself into the true self.

This allowed her to escape in front of Qingxin and Lü Shu.

However, the cost was too high.

In the end, it damaged her most cherished soul; if it weren't for the special nature of the Yuanqi Inner Classic...

She would probably need to cultivate for a thousand years to recover the energy she lost this time.

The original owner's lifespan was only a little over a thousand years.

Hua Rong once again felt that he, as an ancestor, had suffered.

After Lü Shu was gone, another madman, Qingxin, rose up.

It's all because the Heavenly Dao is too weak!

Heaven's Way: ...

======

Taiyi Sect.

After receiving Hua Rong's message, Ming Ju, who had already reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, immediately summoned the Supreme Elder and other elders of the Taiyi Sect to discuss matters.

Also present were Duan Long, who had reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm; Shen Tianming, who was at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm; and Dong Rou, who was at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Besides them, there are also the prodigies who have emerged from the Taiyi Sect over the past thousand years.

And some veteran powerhouses from the Taiyi Sect.

In short, the Taiyi Sect is now thriving.

"Qingxin wants to refine the Life-Giving Array, but only the array core is not yet complete. The Demon Ancestor has already been captured by Qingxin's scheme, and the Cold Immortal Ancestor was about to undergo tribulation, but he almost fell into his trap."

Upon hearing these two sentences, the elders' expressions immediately turned solemn.
