Looking at Chen Xuanzong who was gradually turning into an ice sculpture, Chu Lili was both anxious and afraid. However, she didn't know what she should do. For a moment, sorrow filled her heart, and her heart was filled with coldness and despair.
Now, Yan Zhaoge's' I made it 'had given her a fright, but it had also given rise to the flames of hope within her heart.
Chu Lili turned to look eagerly at Yan Zhaoge.
Yan Zhaoge sent a sound transmission to Feng Yunsheng, Yan Di and the others, "Escort her in!"
Outside the Chaotic Heavenly Devil Slaying Ritual, everyone felt the Ice Demon's aura dissipate.
Since the demons had achieved their goal, they naturally did not attack with all their might.
The Grand Heavenly Realm Devil Lord was greatly disappointed. However, he could only helplessly accept reality as he was surrounded by powerful enemies.
At this moment, a flame approached from afar.
Previously, the Nine-headed Bug's actions and the eruption of the Thousand Scales Leaping Through the Dragon's Gate had destroyed the demonic domain that enveloped and sealed this place. Hence, the fiery light was able to pass through the void and enter this universe.
The demon instinctively felt that something was wrong and tried to stop the flame.
However, Feng Yunsheng was one step ahead of him. She blocked the path of the Nine-headed Great Sage and the Demon Lord with her blade. With a slight delay, the flame had already fallen from the sky.
"… It's the half-dragon that accompanied Suo Mingzhang?" Dragon King Huanchen's brows twitched. "Who else did he bring along?"
He wanted to advance, but what met him was Yan Di's sabre that instantly forced him into retreat.
Whether it was the Demon Race or the Nefarious Devils, none of them knew what this sudden change was.
It was Mars Halberd.
As a Leakless Immortal Artifact, it was equivalent to a human True Immortal Realm expert. While it wasn't weak, it didn't seem to have much of an impact on the current situation. After all, not every True Immortal was Yan Zhaoge.
But it was also because of this that Mars Halberd's appearance here seemed particularly abnormal.
In case the warriors of Taoism had other tricks up their sleeves, the demons didn't hesitate to stop Mars Halberd from approaching them, even if they didn't know what he was here for.
It was not difficult to stop Mars Halberd from approaching.
The sonorous voice of a Little Saint of the Demon Clan could be heard from afar, and Mars Halberd was already trapped in the distance.
However, Feng Yunsheng, Gao Qingxuan, and the others were one step faster. They all voiced their voices to counteract the sonorous voice of the Great Path of the opponent and even joined forces to escort Mars Halberd in.
This behavior further told the fiendish demons that there was something wrong with the visitor.
Initially, the situation that was gradually easing up after Chen Xuanzong and the Ice Devil perished together immediately tensed up once more.
The battle between the two became intense once again.
Mars Halberd flew all the way to where the Chaotic Heavenly Devil Slaying Ritual was.
Amidst the dancing flames, a human silhouette appeared from within. He left the sea of fire and directly entered the light ball evolved from the ritual.
Chu Lili fixed her eyes on him and saw his face clearly. For a moment, she had mixed feelings.
"Senior Sister …"
The white-clothed woman who entered the Chaotic Heavenly Devil Slaying Ritual was Chen Xuanzong's eldest disciple, Chu Lili's senior sister, Female Emperor Jie Mingkong!
It had been a thousand years since Chu Lili had seen her.
He had thought countless times about how he would reunite with Jie Mingkong, but he had never expected that it would be like this.
"Senior Jie has been looking for you all these years." Yan Zhaoge said, "Since you fell into the hands of the Nine Underworlds, I've always been worried that Senior Jie would follow your footsteps and become a hostage for the Nine Underworlds to threaten the Astro Sovereign and us."
However, the hostage was not Jie Mingkong, but the Vine Sovereign of the Roving Jade Heavens.
Yan Zhaoge's premonition of saving the hostage was still activated.
However, at the same time, doubts surfaced in his mind. If Jie Mingkong didn't fall into the hands of the Nine Underworlds Infernal Devils, where would she be now?
The boundless void's outskirts was immeasurably vast. Without any clues, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack to describe the difficulty.
However, Jie Mingkong had been trying to locate Chu Lili.
Chen Xuanzong and Gao Han had noticed the traces of her passing by.
This meant that Jie Mingkong had been paying attention to the matters between Chu Lili and the Nine Underworlds.
Now that the two were fighting in the Domain of Thousand Scales, the devilish domain created by the Grand Heavenly Level Devil Lord had shrouded the vast void. With such a huge commotion, Jie Mingkong might be alerted and be attracted to the nearby area.
Previously, when the Thousand Scales Leaping through the Dragon Gate, Yan Zhaoge had sent a letter to Mars Halberd, the Brocade Emperor, Fu Yunchi, and the others, who were roaming around the void's outskirts, to help locate Jie Mingkong.
At that time, it was just a precaution to prevent Jie Mingkong from falling into the hands of the Infernal Devils.
But now, it was time to save her life!
"The Astro Sovereign once said, 'Yesterday's cause, today's retribution'. Now, there's no need to talk about the cause of his current situation. What's more important is what he should do next." Yan Zhaoge quickly explained the current situation to Jie Mingkong, "Fortunately, the Astro Sovereign has two successors. Both of you have ascended to the Immortal Realm."
"If so, there might be a chance of survival."
The cause and effect were intertwined with each other, which made it hard to differentiate.
Yan Zhaoge looked at the two deeply, "Only … the risk has to be shared with the Astro Sovereign. I can't guarantee whether there's a future for him or not."
"Everything happened because of me, because of my father. Master shouldn't be the one to bear the consequences." Chu Lili smiled.
She looked a little lonely, but still forced a smile, "Being able to see master again, and not having to listen to the answer from his own mouth, the heavens have treated me well."
Chu Lili looked at Jie Mingkong, and saw that Jie Mingkong was also looking at her.
Her lips moved, as if she wanted to say something. In the end, she only let out a sigh. Chu Lili silently walked to the left side of Chen Xuanzong and sat down with her legs crossed.
She followed Yan Zhaoge's instruction and carved a seal on her palm. Then, she pressed her hand on Chen Xuanzong's left shoulder.
In an instant, the ice crystals extended from Chen Xuanzong's shoulder to Chu Lili's arm, and then covered her entire body.
Chen Xuanzong's body within the ice layer was gradually disappearing, and was about to turn into an ice sculpture.
At this moment, his body finally stopped disappearing.
Chen Xuanzong opened his eyes and turned around to look at Chu Lili.
No sound came out. However, from the shape of his mouth, it was obvious that he sighed, "Silly girl …"
Chu Lili's smile also turned into an ice sculpture at this moment.
Within the ice layer, she closed her eyes and fell into silence.
Jie Mingkong looked at Chu Lili's actions expressionlessly.
However, in the depths of her eyes, there were also countless raging waves that were constantly surging.
Without any hesitation, Jie Mingkong walked to the right side of Chen Xuanzong.
At this moment, she met his gaze.
Within the ice layer, a person's expression was blurry. However, Jie Mingkong couldn't help but tremble when she met Chen Xuanzong's gaze.
Her hand, which was originally going to place on Chen Xuanzong's right shoulder, couldn't help but want to move upwards and caress Chen Xuanzong's face.
Halfway through her hand, she recalled what happened in the Land of tranquil stream and stopped in the air. She felt guilty and scared.
Chen Xuanzong looked at her calmly within the ice layer and said.
Still, no sound came out. However, Jie Mingkong, who understood the white-haired man's lips, burst into tears.
She was laughing and crying at the same time.
The Female Emperor, who had always been cold and lonely like a glacier, seemed to have returned to a thousand years ago.
All the emotions accumulated in the past thousand years burst out at this moment. Her self-control and rationality were all gone.
Chen Xuanzong's expression was gentle.
"Xuanzong …" Jie Mingkong murmured softly and stopped crying. Her expression was peaceful. She didn't touch Chen Xuanzong's face anymore. Instead, she put her hand on Chen Xuanzong's shoulder.
Instantly, the ice crystals spread up along her palm.
Female Emperor Jie Mingkong also turned into an ice sculpture.
She and Chu Lili stood on both sides of Chen Xuanzong.
The master and his disciples, who had been entangled with each other for thousands of years, were frozen at this moment.
It was quiet.
