As night fell on the horizon and countless petals disappeared, the boy silently rose.
He still didn't speak, but the evening breeze brushed against his robes and the tips of his hair... On his angular face, it seemed... that a trace of human life had just returned.
“Master Su Bai…”
Tianqing called out softly, wanting to say something, but... when he met the boy's gaze, he silently lowered his head and said nothing.
Swish.
Just then, Nan Xiaoyan appeared beside the two of them.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but... she was drawn to the seven-colored hairpin on the boy's head, and for a moment she was lost in thought.
Coming to her senses, Nan Xiaoyan's expression changed, and she immediately knelt down to pay her respects.
"Nan Xiaoyan of the ancient war clan greets the clan leader!"
"Clan chief?"
Tian Qing looked at Nan Xiaoyan with a hesitant expression.
"The first patriarch of my ancient war clan once passed down a proverb... Once this item is found on someone, that person... will become the new patriarch of my ancient war clan!"
Boom—Crack!
Boom—Crack!
Boom—Crack!
......
Just then, the sky split open, and ten immortals dressed in black robes emerged from it.
As soon as they arrived behind Su Bai, they knelt down and bowed, just like Nan Xiaoyan.
"We greet the young master."
"Who are you?"
Nan Xiaoyan looked wary, and at that moment, Tianqing transformed into the shape of a sword.
There's no other reason than that these ten immortals were all at the Ninth Rank Immortal level!
Moreover, the path they take to become immortals is not one of severing causality to achieve immortality, but rather... the most ancient path to immortality for the human race!
"We come from the Chengtian Palace. Countless years ago, we were ordered by the Great Emperor Chengtian... to await the arrival of the young palace master in this Immortal Ruins!"
The leader, a man in black robes, said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Nan Xiaoyan's expression immediately changed. "Chengtian Palace... How is that possible? Wasn't it said that Chengtian Palace was completely destroyed by the gods during the ancient war between immortals and gods?"
"Ha...you fools, since you know that the gods have been planning this place for a long time, don't you ever think about whether they are the ones who spread these messages?"
"If my Chengtian Palace were truly to be destroyed, why do you think the divine army... hasn't been teleported here yet?"
The man in black robes said coldly.
Upon hearing this...
Nan Xiaoyan's expression turned slightly cold. "Since you have been here all along, why... do you not stand up and reveal the truth, but instead hide in the shadows, allowing our vast human race to... suffer the oppression of the gods?"
"The Chengtian Hall was built to receive the mandate of Heaven... These trivial matters are not worth our attention."
"you!"
Nan Xiaoyan was furious, but she really couldn't find a reason to refute those words.
Because the secrets left behind by the ancient war clans mentioned... this is a transcendent force led by the Great Emperor Chengtian and created specifically for Chengtian!
To this day, she still clearly remembers the few times that Chengtian Palace took action, all of which were when the survival of the vast human race was at stake!
Moreover, after each battle... the Chengtian Palace would fall silent... until the next time humanity is on the verge of extinction, they would reappear!
Suddenly, as if realizing something, Nan Xiaoyan's expression changed drastically as she looked at the leader in black robes.
"The Chengtian Palace never appears during times of peace... Your appearance now suggests... that something has happened within the Immortal Tomb?"
The man in black robes nodded. "The Divine Race has suffered several defeats in the lower realms and the Immortal Ruins, and they have lost patience. Now... they have gathered ten supreme immortal experts and led a large army into the Immortal Tomb!"
"According to conservative estimates, they should arrive at the core of the Immortal Tomb in three more days!"
"At that time... even with the power of the Immortal Tomb Chengtian Palace, and even the power of the Human Emperor Fuxi and other immortals, I'm afraid they can only hold out for ten days!"
"And once the Immortal Tomb is breached, then the entire territory of my human race... will be forcefully occupied and slaughtered by the gods from top to bottom!"
