Chapter 978: Chapter 433: Suspected to Be an Old Acquaintance’s Trap (Part 2)

When An Li brought so many Daluo Golden Immortals to capture her, it seemed they had already locked onto her, and they seemed to know her well, including where she lived and the people important to her...

This meant that the other party had investigated her, even had close contact with her.

But if that were the case, how could she have sensed nothing? It didn’t make sense.

Moreover, although things had been calm over the years, she had prepared many precautions, such as Daluo Puppets, several escape routes, and Daluo contingencies placed along the way... Yet the Heavenly Court’s preparation was so thorough, with personnel divided into many groups, their actions precise and their arrangements strict, rendering all her tactics ineffective.

The feeling she got was that her real opponent was neither An Li, known as the strategist of the Heavenly Court, nor these powerful Daluo Golden Immortals, but rather an old acquaintance hidden in the shadows, someone particularly familiar with her.

An Li, Xiang Yuntian, and all the Daluo Golden Immortals were merely pawns of this old acquaintance.

This old acquaintance understood her style and made a series of arrangements.

And she was completely unaware, which was why she was so passive in this battle.

"Many questions, no answers will come."

An Li smiled slightly and then looked at Xiang Yuntian, saying: "Master, please execute!"

Xiang Yuntian took a step forward, and the stone sword fell.

This strike would obliterate all of Shangguan Shengxian.

"No..."

Shangguan Shengxian let out a piercing wail, her unwillingness reaching its peak, exerting all her strength to resist, but at the same time, Yunxi, Ye Cauldron, and others also made their moves.

Countless Daluo Skills, the next day to extinguish the demon, even Shangguan Shengxian’s Daluo Demon Realm was shattered, countless Demon Souls dissipated into the world, her physical body was cracking, and her Daluo Primordial Soul was burning.

Ultimately, she could not resist destiny!

"A generation of heroes, finally extinguished."

"This woman had an incorrect heart, otherwise she could have been a great asset to our Heavenly Court."

Many spoke.

But suddenly, from the Daluo World where Shangguan Shengxian fell, wisps of black smoke rose, scattering away!

"No, this is her Demonic Light of life!"

"What’s going on, this woman will not die!"

"This... Evergreen Immortal Venerable’s method? Quick, stop her!"

For a moment, everyone was greatly alarmed.

In the first battle of the Heavenly Court, everyone saw Evergreen Immortal Venerable transforming life light into myriad forms at his death, falling into the mortal realm, turning into countless reincarnations, which led to the subsequent events.

Now Shangguan Shengxian’s method is exactly the same as Evergreen Immortal Venerable’s. If her black Demonic Light falls into the mortal world, she could transform into many reincarnations, having another chance to start afresh.

This woman, indeed, followed Evergreen Immortal Venerable’s reincarnation for many years, even Li An would marvel at this. Besides her deep schemes, her talent is probably not far short of Evergreen Immortal Venerable.

Her comprehension is too strong.

But a group of Daluo Golden Immortals scrambled, casting spells like Tianluo Earth Net, yet could not stop Shangguan Shengxian’s wisps of black smoke.

These wisps of black smoke seemed to carry a touch of life and death intertwined power.

"Subdue!"

At that moment, a clear voice suddenly echoed between heaven and earth, and in an instant, a world emerged, where mountains were beautiful, rivers rushing, birds chirped, flowers bloomed in vibrant colors, and in the vast forests, wolves, tigers, and even primordial apes wandered...

This was a Sub-Venerable World!

Purple Fairy, she has finally arrived.

Her Daluo World, having refined a wisp of Longevity White Mist, thus evolved into a world with Sub-Venerable results, the ceaseless life force within the world at this moment turned into countless shackles, and Shangguan Shengxian’s astonishing black smoke ultimately did not reach Li An’s balance of life and death, unable to transcend, and was subdued by this world of Purple Fairy.

Under the great power of this world, the black smoke spreading in all directions gathered, forming into a mass, vaguely showing Shangguan Shengxian’s extremely unwilling face within it.

She truly could not imagine how scheming the person secretly orchestrating this was?

Just now she was evidently at death’s door, yet the other party still left a trump card...

Such an extreme, calculating, vicious person who will stop at nothing to win, in her entire life, she had only encountered one such individual...

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, as if she was struck by a revelation, the expression on the face within the black smoke carried a trace of disbelief.

"No... it can’t be..."

She muttered to herself, that person clearly had died, sacrificed on the altar of life four thousand years ago, ritually led by Evergreen Immortal Venerable; how could he have another chance at rebirth??

But if not for this person, who else in the world could have calculated her to such an extent? Forced her to such a point? Between her and Li An, there was no need even to meet, just by sensing the air of conspiracy, smelling the layout of schemes, she knew it must come from his handiwork.

As she felt incredulous within, a graceful woman was already approaching her.

Shangguan Xiaoxiao.

Only then did she finally appear, still donned in white, which highlighted her serene yet frail beauty, unlike when she appeared at the battle of the Heavenly Court; today, she wore a slight makeup.

It seemed before this, she was dead in heart, indifferent to everything in the world, but today, she hoped someone would see her.

She passed by An Li, casually stretching out her jade hand, and An Li already presented the Celestial Corpse Small Sword with both hands.

The blood-colored small sword was sharp, having tasted Daluo blood four thousand years ago, becoming a Daluo-level Divine Soldier, now revealing a hint of sinister and terrifying aura.

This is the true Asura Sword.

Shangguan Xiaoxiao, carrying the Celestial Corpse Small Sword, came before Shangguan Shengxian, smiling faintly, her smile like a flower: "You have lost."

"I once thought you would never lose, but this time, you not only failed, you will also die."

"The grievances among the three of us, it’s about time to settle."

She raised the Celestial Corpse Small Sword.

In Shangguan Shengxian’s eyes, infinite complexity emerged, at this moment, she really wanted to ask, is that person long dead truly still alive?

But her thoughts shifted, she did not ask.

Since death is already destined, why ask more? Knowing Li An still lives would only add a little more regret...

The sword was about to fall.

But at that moment－－

"Boom!"

Suddenly, from the azure sky above, a startling finger struck, piercing through all heavens, crashing down directly toward Shangguan Xiaoxiao!

This finger... was a Sub-Venerable technique!

"Not good!"

"A strange Sub-Venerable?!"

"What’s happening..."

In an instant, Xiang Yuntian, Yunxi, Ye Cauldron, and other Daluo Golden Immortals were all taken aback, simultaneously reacting, several people moving to intercept, nearing full force, but the power of this finger was too strong, ultimately only with Purple Fairy standing calmly in front of Shangguan Xiaoxiao with her Sub-Venerable World to block and suppress everything.

The many Daluo Golden Immortals of the Heavenly Court instantly turned their eyes toward the direction from which the finger came!

And in the vast void, a group had already appeared.

At the forefront was an individual with a head full of white hair, a gray robe hanging over a thin bony body, his eye sockets deep, his eyes like gray-white stones, gazing from afar at Shangguan Xiaoxiao.

Beside him stood ten top-level Daluo Golden Immortals.

This person...

Was none other than Yunluo Immortal Venerable’s junior, renowned and highly respected Sub-Venerable, Yun Qianhe of Yunluo Palace!

He did not go to the battlefield of the Tenth Heavenly Domain but instead brought the strongest part of the Daluo Golden Immortals here.

Because their task was the most important, it was the key to the strange and Heavenly Court war.

Shangguan Xiaoxiao!

The reason the strange beings invaded was that Yunluo Immortal Venerable himself did not dare to act against Shangguan Xiaoxiao, not even approach her, so they needed to drive pawns forward to test, to exhaust Shangguan Xiaoxiao’s strength and hidden cards...

But the Tenth Heavenly Domain blocked the footsteps of the Deceit Realm, and usually, Shangguan Xiaoxiao hid within the Heavenly Court, they had no opportunity to force her hand.

Until this time, the Heavenly Court moved to exterminate Shangguan Shengxian, and Shangguan Xiaoxiao would personally take action, and upon receiving this news, they finally arrived at this place.

The purpose was singular.

To force out Shangguan Xiaoxiao’s hidden cards for Yunluo Immortal Venerable, to see what that Longevity Seeker’s phantom was truly about!

...

Good night.
