Dao Immortal Shui Miao never expected to become the target of everyone's hostility. Even more surprising to her was that these cultivators—whom she regarded as mere ants—actually dared to oppose her. She couldn't help but laugh in anger.
"Good!"
"Excellent!"
"Since that's the case, I'll wipe all of you out together!"
Dao Immortal Shui Miao's expression turned ruthless. She raised her hand, and the sphere of water surrounding her body rapidly transformed into streams that flowed along her arm and gathered in her palm, forming the shape of an immortal sword.
When the water receded, a cyan, crystalline water-immortal sword appeared in her hand.
Taking a light step forward, Dao Immortal Shui Miao shot forward like a water arrow, her immortal sword slashing toward Meng Niu and the others!
Meng Niu and the rest stood ready, gripping their weapons tightly, prepared to fight to the death!
Just as Dao Immortal Shui Miao approached, a streak of golden light suddenly fell from the sky. A majestic female divine figure in radiant armor appeared, standing directly in front of Meng Niu and the others!
Clang!
A sharp ringing sound of clashing blades echoed through everyone's ears.
Dao Immortal Shui Miao was forced to retreat dozens of steps before finally stabilizing herself, staring up at the newcomer in disbelief.
Her strike had actually been blocked!
Everyone else also stared in astonishment at the breathtaking figure who had suddenly appeared before them.
It was none other than Luo Ru Ying, who had just arrived.
"Elder Sister Luo!"
Su Yi and Qi Yuan called out in delight the moment they saw her.
Luo Ru Ying gently touched her chest and turned back to give Su Yi and Qi Yuan a grateful smile.
Then she looked up at Meng Niu and Bai Yuan, who had revealed their beast forms, as well as Cai Se and the others who were protecting Luo Hongye.
After already witnessing so many hidden demons within the city, seeing their beast forms no longer surprised her…
"Ma… Madam…"
Cai Se and the others greeted Luo Ru Ying nervously.
They were worried they had accidentally exposed their identities and wondered whether their lord would punish them…
They were also afraid Luo Ru Ying might despise them.
Looking at the blood-soaked bodies of Meng Niu, Bai Yuan, and Cai Se, Luo Ru Ying said softly with deep gratitude:
"Thank you…"
Although they were demons, they had still risked their lives to protect her daughter…
Being able to hold out this long against Dao Immortal Shui Miao—one of the Six Great Immortal Arts of the Dao Immortal Clan—was already incredibly difficult.
"Madam…"
Seeing that Luo Ru Ying not only didn't despise them but even thanked them gently, Cai Se and the others felt deeply moved.
As expected… Madam was truly kind.
"Mother… sob…"
When Luo Hongye saw Luo Ru Ying, she immediately burst into tears and ran to her, hugging her leg tightly.
"Yeye, it's alright. Mother is here now. Everything will be fine."
Luo Ru Ying lovingly stroked Luo Hongye's head.
She knew the Dao Immortal Clan had mobilized such force because of this child.
But she would never hand her over.
"Luo, the Divine Empress of the Luo Clan…"
"How unexpected. I didn't think someone at the Heavenly Human Realm could activate the Luo Divine Sword."
"But it seems you can't use it many times, can you?"
Dao Immortal Shui Miao said mockingly.
If Luo Ru Ying still possessed the cultivation she once had at her peak, Shui Miao would never dare act so arrogantly.
But now Luo Ru Ying had lost her Linglong Glass Heart and her immortal bones. She was merely a cultivator at the Heavenly Human Realm.
With the artificial heart sustaining her life, she could no longer display the true power of the Luo Goddess.
Even the Luo Divine Sword in her hand could probably only be swung a few times.
"Elder Shui Miao, it's been a long time…"
"As for how many times I can use the Luo Divine Sword—Elder Shui Miao can try it herself!"
Luo Ru Ying raised the Luo Divine Sword, pointing it directly at Shui Miao.
Although her aura was fearless, in truth, blocking Shui Miao's earlier strike had nearly exhausted all her strength…
Even the artificial heart in her chest had been shaken.
Shui Miao seemed to notice Luo Ru Ying forcing herself and sneered.
"Very well. Then let me see just how powerful the current Luo Divine Empress still is!"
She raised her immortal sword before her chest as an immense blue immortal aura burst forth.
Towering pillars of water shot into the sky around the Nanli Academy!
Several massive water columns completely surrounded Luo Ru Ying and everyone gathered in the academy's central plaza.
Seeing this, the people present were filled with despair.
Before the power of an immortal's technique, they were unbelievably small…
"Miss Su, Miss Qi—when the opportunity appears, I will open a gap. Take the child and leave!"
"If possible, please deliver her to my husband!"
Luo Ru Ying spoke solemnly, her heart heavier than ever.
If Dao Immortal Shui Miao truly went all out, none of them here would be her match…
Su Yi and Qi Yuan hesitated for a moment. They wanted to say something, but ultimately nodded firmly.
Luo Hongye tightly hugged Luo Ru Ying's leg with her tiny hands, refusing to let go, tears streaming down her face.
"Sob… I won't leave!"
"Yeye wants to stay with Mother…!"
"Yeye, be good…"
Luo Ru Ying tried to persuade her gently.
This was the only plan she could think of.
Just then, a vast, soul-shaking immortal voice suddenly echoed through the sky.
"Shui Miao, wait."
Upon hearing the voice, almost everyone present felt an overwhelming pressure pressing down on them.
They collapsed onto the ground involuntarily!
Only Luo Ru Ying and Cai Se's group could barely remain standing, though their bodies bent under the immense pressure.
Their hearts were filled with shock.
What terrifying pressure was this?!
Dao Immortal Shui Miao immediately stopped her spell and respectfully bowed toward the young man walking toward them.
"Yes, Immortal Ancestor!"
A handsome young man with an elegant appearance walked forward slowly, his hands behind his back.
His posture was as steady as a mountain and as light as the wind.
Strangely, not a single trace of spiritual energy could be sensed from him.
He walked past Dao Immortal Shui Miao and stopped before Luo Ru Ying and the others.
The moment Luo Ru Ying saw him, her face turned pale with shock.
Immortal Ancestor…?!
Could he be the Dao Immortal Clan's legendary ancestor who had been in secluded cultivation for a thousand years—
Dao Immortal Tianhua?!
He had actually descended personally…!
At that moment, Luo Ru Ying felt utter despair.
Against Dao Immortal Shui Miao, she might still have had a chance to sacrifice her life and let Luo Hongye escape.
But against Dao Immortal Tianhua, there was absolutely no possibility.
Even before his thousand-year seclusion, he had already reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm.
Now that he had emerged from seclusion, who knew what level he had reached?
"So, you are the Luo Divine Empress of the Luo Divine Hall, said to be the reincarnation of the Luo Goddess?"
Dao Immortal Tianhua asked calmly as he looked at Luo Ru Ying.
"Yes."
Luo Ru Ying gripped the Luo Divine Sword tightly, her beautiful eyes locked firmly on Dao Immortal Tianhua.
Her voice was firm and resolute.
Dao Immortal Tianhua looked her up and down, showing a hint of admiration before shaking his head with regret.
"Not bad, not bad. To remain so composed in front of me is truly rare."
"I heard you reached the Immortal Emperor realm in just over a hundred years. Across the entire Immortal Realm, such talent is almost unheard of. You truly deserve the title of Luo Goddess Reincarnation…"
"But unfortunately, you chose the wrong path—"
"You allied yourself with the Demon Clan…"
"What a pity… what a pity."
