"Ancestor, your disciples simply cannot hold out any longer. New monsters have appeared, and we have suffered heavy casualties... Uncle-Master Baiying has been killed..."
Several disciples covered in blood rushed to Sui Xushan, and collapsed as soon as they finished explaining what had happened.
Immediately afterwards, Yuehua's disciples, the mountain lords and disciples sent out by Suixu Mountain, and the cultivators who had fought against the monster and managed to escape all arrived at Suixu Mountain.
The wails continued, but were silently swallowed back in the somber atmosphere of Sui Xushan.
"Lord Tu, where is the Immortal Venerable?"
He Bailan, who had returned in a disheveled state, and the other disciples scanned the Shuiyun Hall on Tongtian Peak. Not seeing Ziyi, they couldn't help but ask.
The lake lords looked grief-stricken and shook their heads in silence.
He Bailan was anxious, "Tu Wu, what exactly happened to the Immortal Venerable?"
"The Immortal Venerable, he risked his life, and has already..."
"Impossible!" He Bailan's eyes reddened.
Upon hearing this, all the disciples' eyes reddened.
The god-like immortal in their hearts was their heaven! He was their last strength to resist those monsters, their last hope. How could he sacrifice himself?
"Tu Wu, explain yourself clearly, what exactly happened to the Immortal Venerable?"
Tu Wu was grabbed by the collar by He Bailan, but surprisingly he did not resist and let him vent his anger.
"Speak up, are you mute? You're usually so talkative, why aren't you saying anything? Why won't you speak?"
Enraged, He Bailan punched Tu Wu in the face.
Bai Xuan couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up to stop them: "Mountain Master He, all the disciples of Suixu Mountain, and everyone else, the Purple-Clad Immortal is indeed gone. He self-destructed his immortal body, perishing together with the monster in the forbidden area."
"No, he's not dead! I must find him."
Yuehua only came to her senses now, and vanished from the spot in an instant.
Bai Xuan sighed and shook his head, saying, "Now, our world is in imminent danger. You all need to be vigilant and fight for yourselves and for the sake of all living beings."
The Purple-Clad Immortal has fallen, and I am deeply saddened.
Sui Xushan has existed for so long, guarding the north, actually to suppress the monster that entered the forbidden area.
Hundreds of thousands of years ago, countless immortals perished because of it. If it is not eliminated, once we are attacked from both sides, we will have no chance of survival.
Now, Suixu Mountain has become the last place we can hold on to. I hope everyone can set aside their prejudices and fight the enemy together.
Lords of Suixu Mountain and Lake Lords, please activate the mountain-protecting formation and other defensive measures to buy everyone time to recover.
Regardless of the final outcome, I believe everyone, like me, doesn't want to become a victim of monsters.
"We will obey the decree of Immortal Bai Xuan!" everyone said in unison.
Now, of the three immortals, one has already perished, and another seems to have lost his mind. Only Bai Xuan can take charge of the overall situation, and everyone implicitly regards him as their leader.
Bai Xuan sat upright in front of the stone table, shaking his head and sighing as he looked at the familiar patterns.
It felt like just yesterday that he was playing chess with Ziyi, but now his opponent had detonated his immortal body right before his eyes, leaving him with no chance of survival.
Why!
Miraculous ruins.
Bai Siyuan drew out his jade fan, gathering all his spiritual energy at the tip of the fan, and thrust it downwards towards the stone steps.
The tip of the fan touched something, penetrating an inch, and then a powerful force struck, violently jolting Bai Siyuan back.
"What are you doing?"
The others gathered around, looking at Bai Siyuan lying on the ground with expressions of curiosity and confusion, but no one reached out to help him up.
When Bai Siyuan landed, he dissipated the force of the impact, but deliberately pretended to be injured and reached out to Xiang Wan, "Give me a hand."
Xiang Wan turned her head away; she was no longer in the mood for joking with him.
Ice shards appeared in his hand and shot out in all directions, but each one was bounced back. However, they disappeared into the air before they could reach anyone.
"What kind of ability is this?"
The way everyone looked at Xiang Wan changed, and they became more wary.
The icicles reappeared, shot upwards, and were once again bounced back.
"We're trapped here."
Everyone realized what was happening, and their faces turned grim.
"This beast can take you out."
A childish voice rang in Xiang Wan's mind.
Xiang Wan patted the red ball's head and saw that it was still pretending to be asleep with its eyes half-closed, so she knew that it did not want to expose itself.
"Senior Brother Lan, Bai Siyuan, if I can come back, I will definitely come to save you."
"What do you want to do?" Bai Siyuan jumped up, his eyes fixed on Xiang Wan.
Lan Sishiba also walked over, staring at her intently.
Xiang Wan backed away, clutching the red ball, her eyes expressionless. "I need to get out. I can't wait any longer. Thank you for helping me scout the way, thank you for guiding me at the mountain gate. I, Xiang Wan, owe no one anything. If I return, I will definitely take you away. Goodbye!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiang Wan was already holding the red ball and falling backward. The little cloud dream beast flashed and burrowed into her arms.
"Xiang Wan?!"
Bai Siyuan and Lan Sishi watched helplessly as the man and two beasts fell down the steps and disappeared before their eyes, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.
Bai Siyuan, in particular, was surprised that she was willing to risk her life to leave this place. Was there something or someone outside that was more important than her life?
The thought of this possibility suddenly made Bai Siyuan feel a tightness in his chest.
"She really fell!"
"Maybe we can get out if we don't resist. Why don't we give it a try?"
Some people saw this action and were eager to try it, but no one wanted to be the first to do so.
Xiang Wan can do it, but they might not.
That's gambling with your life!
