Covered in blood, Zou Xiao looked at the immortals lying on the ground like fallen leaves in autumn. His body trembled like a candle flickering in the wind. He knelt down with a thud and shouted clearly, "Grandpa, I was wrong!"
That's...that's terrifying! One move! Just one move, and his army of thousands...
If it weren't for the excruciating pain emanating from his immortal bones, he would have thought he was dreaming. He inexplicably thought of the divine lords who had suddenly perished in the Seventh Heaven... no... could it be that she killed them? As an emperor of the Upper Heaven, and connected to the Seventh Heaven, he actually knew something about what Mingye and the others had done, which was why he dared to come and seize the Seventh Heaven at this time.
But he never expected that instead of the three divine rulers, an even more terrifying one would arrive!
This is simply... simply not divine!
"Grandpa, you're still so valiant! I've met you, Grandpa!" The second son, the only one who had ever experienced the other's strength, was the first to react and immediately came over to show his respect to his elder.
The patriarch and Fang Ming also realized what was happening and quickly came over to pay their respects.
"You Tiannv, are you alright? What just happened was..."
"My lord!" The patriarch's expression was somewhat complicated. He knew his lord was powerful, but he hadn't expected him to be this powerful. Nevertheless, he still bowed and said, "Greetings, my lord!"
Only the Fifth Emperor, who was completely oblivious to the situation, glanced at his three companions, then at the Eighth Emperor on the ground, gritted his teeth, and knelt down with a thud, readily calling out, "...Grandpa?"
Youyou: "..."
Everyone: "..."
No, are all emperors this sensible?
You You was speechless for a moment, then quickly pulled the others up, except for the Eightfold Emperor. She casually explained, "Well... I heard they were attacking, and I was in a hurry to go down to the lower realm, so I didn't have much time to stay here and came to deal with it myself. Thank you for your hard work, are you all alright?"
"Rest assured, my lord, you arrived just in time. We are... fine." The elder replied somewhat awkwardly. It was more than just fine; they hadn't even started their match before it was over.
"That's good. Feng Rong has opened the passage to the lower realm. I have to go now. I'll leave this place to you!" You You pointed to the still trembling Eighth Emperor on the ground. "If there's anything, you can discuss it yourselves. Don't ask me. The Seventh Heaven is having some difficulties right now. If you can help, then help Sister Hong Fei."
"Yes, my lord!" Ancestor Yuan nodded, and the other three also responded. They glanced at the Eighth Heaven Immortals scattered all over the ground and subconsciously wanted to ask, "What should we do with the Eighth Heaven Immortals?"
Youyou didn't say anything more to them. She turned around, mounted her sword, and disappeared, just as suddenly as she had arrived.
They just gathered together, but ended up getting four people at the eighth level of the Heavenly Realm for free. "..."
It feels like the day when the immortal realm is unified is not far off!
The sole heir, the Nine-fold Emperor: "..." Suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
————————
Although You You was gone for several days, she managed to catch up. With Yuan Qi's help in controlling the situation, the curse on the celestial maidens and their followers was not so severe that it could not be lifted. Although several more sects came to the sect for help in the past few days, You You had brought enough pool water to dispel the curse.
Youyou kept the celestial maidens to rest for a while before sending them back to their sect, charging them a consultation fee, of course. Although it was sudden and troublesome, seeing the significant increase in the sect's income and expenditure figures made it all worthwhile.
As for the curse in the secret realm, the fourth brother and his group were also quick to find out the result, which was unsurprisingly the work of the Seventh Heaven.
"We learned about this by interrogating several male immortals under Mingye's command," Fang Laosi said angrily. "That bastard Mingye is a scoundrel. He's the one who had the curse placed in the secret realm."
"Wait a minute..." Youyou was a little confused. "Didn't you say before that the Fourth Heaven and the Seventh Heaven had no connection? How did they manage to do that?"
"Does the Heavenly Maiden still remember when she visited the Fourth Heaven last time?" Fang Laosi continued, "Last time, I accidentally pulled you into the Upper Realm and thought you were an ascended Heavenly Maiden, so I notified the Seventh Heaven that very day. Not long after the Heavenly Maiden returned to the Lower Realm, they sent someone to the Fourth Heaven."
"I see..." Youyou realized, "So the curse was placed there by them back then?"
“Yes!” Fang Ming nodded and continued to explain, “I don’t know where that bastard Ming Ye got the information that the fall of the Third Heaven Emperor was related to you. He thinks you have special abilities, so he has been looking for you!”
So, that's why he personally came to pick her up in the Sixth Heaven? She thought of the altar that extracted the Heavenly Maiden's power; Mingye must have originally planned to send her there as well.
"This is also the fault of those bastards in my palace who can't keep secrets." Fang Ming sighed, her tone full of regret. "Back then, the celestial envoy from the Seventh Heaven came to the Fourth Heaven but failed to find anyone. Those bastards in the palace who were refining the secret realm couldn't help themselves and probably mentioned in their words that the secret realm was something the Heavenly Maiden had instructed them to do. They thought the secret realm was related to you, the Heavenly Maiden, so they put the curse into the secret realm."
Fang Ming gritted her teeth, becoming even more furious, and said, "They calculated that only the sacred pool water of the seventh heaven can dispel the curse, and they wanted to use this to lure you, the Heavenly Maiden, to appear!"
"So..." Youyou frowned, "this whole thing was a conspiracy orchestrated by Mingye from beginning to end?"
"Yes!"
You You then understood the whole situation. Ming Ye had set up that Divine Refining Array to extract the special power from the Heavenly Maiden. Knowing that there was a Heavenly Maiden who could defeat a Third-Level Emperor, how could they not have wicked thoughts? It's just that she happened to be in the mortal realm when Fang Ming sent people. Unable to find her, they came up with the idea of placing a curse into the secret realm.
“Heavenly Maiden, although this was Mingye’s doing, it is indeed inextricably linked to our Fourth Heaven.” The fourth brother said dejectedly, his voice filled with deep remorse. “If we hadn’t revealed the information about the secret realm, the Heavenly Maidens of the lower realm wouldn’t have suffered this calamity. Heavenly Maiden! Punish us!”
“Uh…” Youyou paused for a moment, then casually comforted him, “Forget it, you didn’t do it on purpose. Besides, if Mingye wanted to scheme, he would have done it from other angles, not from the secret realm. It has little to do with you.”
"No!" the fourth brother said firmly. "Please punish us, Heavenly Maiden, otherwise our consciences will not be at peace!" After he finished speaking, several voices of agreement came from the communication talisman, which were obviously the group of fools from the fourth level.
You You was somewhat speechless, but since they had made such a sincere request, she had no choice but to comply. "Since you're accepting the punishment, then so be it... I won't pass on the message you asked me to deliver to the female cultivators in the lower realms last time. That's settled!"
"No!" *N
In an instant, cries of agony filled the air...
Youyou had already cut off the communication. This was your own request, it had nothing to do with her, and it was definitely not because she found it troublesome or didn't have time to deliver it!
