Shi Miao smiled, revealing white teeth, as if saying, you got it right.
Su Jiuzhe fell silent for a mont; only those who experienced the battle ten thousand years ago can truly understand how hated the Ancient Demon is.
He and Shi Miao are considered comrades from the sa era.
It's just that they fought in different domains, Shi Miao in the Southern Domain, and he in the Northern Domain.
"Alright, then I'll see you off."
Su Jiuzhe nodded, then put down his wine jug and rarely stood up.
As he stood, his gray-white hair cascaded down his shoulders like a waterfall, and with a virtual grip of his hand, a simple, mud-stained sword erged from the void, landing in his palm.
Spring Slash Emperor Sword!
The sword's blade was ancient and pale, like decaying white bones.
"Kid, your pastries aren't bad."
Holding the Spring Slash Emperor Sword, Su Jiuzhe suddenly said.
Li Hao was taken aback and imdiately replied sincerely, "When I return from the Primordial True Realm, I'll invite you again, senior."
"Good!"
Su Jiuzhe laughed heartily, and with that word, the Spring Slash Emperor Sword slashed through the sky.
Above the Su Family's ancestral land, there suddenly appeared a deep crack in the sky, seemingly leading to the Primordial True Realm.
A breath of desolation and death emanated from that crack.
"Let's go."
Shi Miao's Primordial Spirit, extending a small, delicate hand, pulled Li Hao's hand. Her eyes turned, containing not only gentleness but also a hint of playfulness:
"I'll take you to the Yellow Spring."
Li Hao was taken aback, then laughed too, "Let's go!"
A strong power of ti enveloped the two, as Shi Miao pulled Li Hao, flying toward the crack. As they neared, she waved goodbye to this old friend, Su Jiuzhe.
Su Jiuzhe, wielding the Spring Slash Emperor Sword, silently watched the two leave. Once the crack closed, he spat:
"Hmph, leaving hand in hand, can't let people be at ease even when leaving!"
After speaking, he casually flung the sword, disappearing into the void's crack.
Picking up the wine jug again, he drank heavily, wiping his mouth afterward with pleasure, yet a trace of loneliness erged in his eyes.
Old friends gradually leaving, only wine remains the most enduring…
...
The departure of Li Hao and Shi Miao did not alarm anyone until Su Zhenyuan ca to the ancestral land to visit and learned from Su Jiuzhe that Li Hao had already left.
Su Zhenyuan anxiously inquired about Shi Miao's identity, and Su Jiuzhe did not hide it but forbade him to reveal it wantonly.
Upon learning that Shi Miao was the disciple of the Heavenly Calamity Immortal Emperor and one of the most dazzling prodigies in the True Realm ten thousand years ago, Su Zhenyuan was sowhat shocked.
In the Su Family's archives, although mostly records of the Northern Domain were found, the brilliance of the Southern Domain once crossed into the Northern Domain's docunts, leaving a striking mark there.
No wonder he felt familiar, as it turned out to be an existence that had dominated the True Realm ten thousand years ago, invincible under the Great Emperor.
"Will they co back?"
Su Zhenyuan inquired.
"If they do return, it will be many years later; they are going to the Primordial True Realm."
Su Jiuzhe casually responded, thinking that when they et again, that kid would likely have had a breakthrough and achieved kingship, and by that ti, Shi Miao, too, would have restored her past combat power, adding another formidable force to today's True Realm.
These days, there seems to be hope.
"Then what about this marriage contract..."
Su Zhenyuan couldn't help but ask.
Su Jiuzhe rolled his eyes at him and said, "The fate between them and the Su Family is over, when fate arises, they gather, when it ends, they part; this marriage contract is naturally already void."
Su Zhenyuan, upon hearing this, was thoroughly disheartened, letting out a bitter laugh. If Li Hao could truly be a son-in-law of the Su Family, it would dramatically change the future of the Northern Domain, for Li Hao's talent was too monstrous and unforgettable.
Leaving the ancestral land, Su Zhenyuan returned to the Light Emperor Hall to explain the situation to his wife.
Learning that Li Hao had already gone, Su Qingi also felt a bit of regret and a touch of irony. When the young man first arrived, she wished he would leave and even considered driving him out of the Su Family.
But now that he truly left, she instead felt a sense of great loss.
anwhile, in the Immortal Courtyard.
The slumbering Su Muqing awoke, feeling as if she had dread a very distant dream.
In the dream, she seed to see so disjointed scenes.
It was a place unfamiliar to her, with a Divine Dynasty nad Dayu.
The familiar young figure stood guard at so border of that Divine Dynasty, his identity seed to be a young general.
And a young girl in a blue-green dress was also in that border city, occasionally seeing that young man and chatting and laughing with him.
Su Muqing felt it was indeed a dream, for that girl looked exactly like her, though she had never been to that Divine Dynasty.
"Sister."
A gentle voice called beside her.
Su Muqing opened her eyes to see Su Wanqing and Su Wanxue standing in her sleeping hall.
"Hm?"
Su Muqing looked at them confusedly; normally, without her permission, even Su Wanqing and Su Wanxue wouldn't intrude.
"Why are you here?"
Su Muqing was puzzled but bore no bla, suddenly recalling that she had fallen asleep, perhaps they were concerned about her.
Su Wanqing and Su Wanxue looked at her with sowhat complex expressions. Su Wanxue said, "You fell asleep before, we were worried, so we stayed here waiting for you to wake up."
Su Muqing anticipated as much, but quickly recalled what happened before she fell asleep; she was trying to control that hidden power, but sohow suddenly fainted.
Wait, suddenly she sensed sothing amiss.
Her immortal power... Immortal Monarch Realm Nine-layer?
She suddenly realized, hurriedly probing, discovering that her immortal power was extrely dense, her Immortal Sea significantly expanded, reaching the Nine-layer of the Immortal Monarch Realm!
"I, my realm advanced? Nine-layer? Directly skipping the Eighth Layer?!"
Su Muqing was shocked, sitting up abruptly, disbelief in her eyes, flashing with intense joy.
It's incredible, the Immortal Monarch Realm could actually leap in breakthrough!
She hadn't consud any Immortal Elixirs either, only relying on her own capabilities.
Was it brought by that hidden power? Indeed, as long as she could master that power, she could definitely beco invincible in the Immortal Monarch Realm!
A strong confidence and joy arose in Su Muqing's heart.
"Wanqing, sisters, I've made a breakthrough!"
Su Muqing imdiately turned to her sisters, sharing the good news with them.
Yet, Su Wanqing and Su Wanxue upon hearing this, showed little hint of joy, instead, exchanged silent glances.
Su Muqing noticed their expressions weren't right, feeling sowhat puzzled, her breakthrough was a huge joyous occasion.
"What's happened in the family?"
Su Muqing's heart stirred, her expression changed slightly, recalling the demons' sparring, could it be that the monsters found another way to retaliate?
Su Wanxue slightly shook her head, just as she was about to speak, Su Wanqing, appearing to have held back for long, spoke with a voice both suppressed and slightly angry:
"Sister, haven't you noticed anything missing?"
"Missing what?"
Su Muqing was puzzled, looking at them confusedly.
Seeing her bewildered expression, Su Wanqing's eyes filled with a hint of sadness, then she turned away, saying, "I'm going back; it's good you're fine."
Su Muqing realized, hurriedly grabbed her, then looked at Su Wanxue beside her, asking, "Sisters, what exactly happened?"
Su Wanxue seeing her still not realizing, said bitterly, "Use your Divine Sense to look at the courtyard."
"Courtyard?"
Su Muqing paused, thought of sothing, and sent her Divine Sense, finding the courtyard empty, and outside the temple's chessboard, empty as well.
That young man was gone.
