Chapter 2272 - 2269: Goddess Awakens

Ever since she met Ye Xuan, Lu Li returned to the Ancient Rakshasa Sect for closed cultivation.

Though she belongs to the Ancient Rakshasa Sect, she also has karmic ties with the Dragon Burying Court.

Only she can erase these karmic ties.

This much, she can naturally see.

On this day.

Lu Li, as always, was in closed cultivation within her cave residence.

Suddenly, countless scenes flashed within her mind.

Torrents of powerful memories surged in like tides, forcing Lu Li to stop cultivation, clutching her head in agony.

Lu Li bit her red lips, her face pale as can be.

After two hours passed, Lu Li gradually regained her senses.

Her jade hand reached out, gently stroking the void in front of her.

Buzz————

The void in front slowly transformed into a mirror.

A beautiful woman with ear-length bobbed hair emerged within the mirror; her face was pale yet her features were incredibly delicate, her beauty unparalleled.

Sitting cross-legged, her chest high and firm, her slim waist graspable.

Her figure, perfect.

She reached out and touched her own face, murmuring, "It’s good that it hasn’t changed."

A moment later.

She raised her hand to grasp.

Boom!

The next moment, a black halberd suddenly shot over from afar, held tightly by Lu Li.

"Everything is still here..."

Holding the black halberd steady, Lu Li murmured softly, with a smile in her eyes.

Lu Li looked up towards a certain place in the void, speaking out, "Thanks."

That direction was exactly where the Hanging Fate Old Immortal was located.

But as Lu Li’s voice landed, the Hanging Fate Old Immortal had already disappeared.

Since Lu Li had fully recovered, there was naturally no reason to remain here.

After leaving the Hong State land, the Hanging Fate Old Immortal headed straight for Daozhou.

East Desolation South Domain Daozhou.

Southern Saber Mountain Zhu Family.

As a Great Emperor Immortal Sect, the Southern Saber Mountain Zhu Family has always been the ancient overlord of Daozhou.

However, the Southern Saber Mountain Zhu Family has always been rather low-key, seldom participating in any grand events.

The most formidable within this generation of the Southern Saber Mountain Zhu Family is undoubtedly Zhu Xiuxiu.

Though Zhu Xiuxiu’s time in cultivation was relatively brief, missing the opportune moment when the Emperor Road opened.

Yet, among the next batch of outstanding talents set to embark upon the Emperor Road, Zhu Xiuxiu would certainly have her place.

Now, the Mystic Yellow List has already changed.

The names formerly on the Mystic Yellow List have vanished after traversing the Emperor Road.

Currently, Zhou Youwei is ranked first on the Mystic Yellow List.

Lu Li is second.

Third is Zhu Xiuxiu.

No one could have expected.

That the small trio of Goddesses from the East Desolation South Domain would now dominate the Mystic Yellow List.

Though Zhou Youwei has awakened the memories of the Hong Yao Immortal Emperor, she hasn’t traversed the Emperor Road yet, so her name still figures on the Mystic Yellow List.

Apart from these, there are Yao Yueqing, Tang Siyu, Little Array Emperor, Kong Liang, Xun Ji, Little Meng Chan, among others.

These new generation’s prodigies have all risen up.

Among them was another familiar name.

Lin Feiyan.

Once the most gifted disciple of Lie Tian Academy, after repeatedly provoking Ye Xuan, he eventually met his end prematurely at Hengduan Mountain, only to be possessed by Liu Dali, the supreme of the Sky Covering Demon Sect.

Previously, Ye Xuan had given the Heavenly Cauldron to Liu Dali, whose strength rapidly surged.

But setting that aside.

The Hanging Fate Old Immortal arrived outside the Southern Saber Mountain Zhu Family, instantly sensing a terrifying wave of saber gang sweeping in.

Seeing that scene, the Hanging Fate Old Immortal did not rush to present the Hong Yao Immortal Emperor Token but waited quietly.

He could see, the Southern Saber Mountain Zhu Family intended for Zhu Xiuxiu to fully inherit the lineage of the Southern Saber Ancient Emperor.

From the moment Zhu Xiuxiu was born, she was acknowledged by the saber of the Southern Saber Ancient Emperor.

It was at that moment Zhu Xiuxiu was groomed as the successor of the Southern Saber Ancient Emperor.

Zhu Xiuxiu has proven herself exceptionally capable, excelling at everything except for being slightly lacking in wisdom.

And now she has successfully inherited the legacy of the Southern Saber Ancient Emperor.

In fact, the Hanging Fate Old Immortal knows it’s because Zhu Xiuxiu is the reincarnation of one of the strongest Immortal Kings under that Immortal Emperor, which is why she can exhibit such formidable gifts.

Boom!

A terrifying Emperor’s Shadow rose slowly within Southern Saber Mountain, though a mere phantom, it still carried the terrifying aura of a Great Emperor, as if stepping out from the river of history, overlooking All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

This ancient Great Emperor from the Primordial Wilderness, seemingly reawakened at this moment.

The gaze of the Southern Saber Ancient Emperor cast towards the Earth State land, seemingly observing someone.

Then he looked outside Southern Saber Mountain at the Hanging Fate Old Immortal.

The Hanging Fate Old Immortal met the gaze fearlessly.

Buzz————

The next moment, the Emperor’s Shadow of the Southern Saber Ancient Emperor slowly vanished.

Not due to the Hanging Fate Old Immortal, but because Zhu Xiuxiu opened her eyes.

Zhu Xiuxiu also sensed the presence of the Hanging Fate Old Immortal.

Boom!

A terrifying saber gang suddenly slashed out from Southern Saber Mountain, directly targeting the Hanging Fate Old Immortal.

That stroke was delivered by Zhu Xiuxiu with the Southern Saber Ancient Emperor’s saber.

Seemingly capable of instantly shattering even the strongest in the Great Saint Realm!

Unmatched in its ferocity!

Facing that strike, the Hanging Fate Old Immortal showed no intention of dodging.

Boom!

Yet as that strike was about to reach the Hanging Fate Old Immortal, the saber gang vanished into thin air.

Meanwhile, Zhu Xiuxiu had already appeared.

Her body clad in red armor, tied with a high ponytail.

A delicate and beautiful face now frostbitten, coldly staring at the Hanging Fate Old Immortal, she calmly asked, "Who are you?"

The Hanging Fate Old Immortal ignored Zhu Xiuxiu, casually waved a hand, revealing half a Hong Yao Immortal Emperor Token.

Boom————

In the instant the Hanging Fate Old Immortal made a move, Zhu Xiuxiu struck again, another slash.

The Hanging Fate Old Immortal smirked.

This one is as fierce as ever.

The Hanging Fate Old Immortal flicked a finger.

With a soft sound, the Southern Saber Ancient Emperor’s saber in Zhu Xiuxiu’s hand flew instantly to the Hanging Fate Old Immortal’s hand.

Zhu Xiuxiu gasped in pain, yet seeing her saber taken, her eyes turned cold, swiftly darting towards the Hanging Fate Old Immortal.

The Hanging Fate Old Immortal casually toyed with the Southern Saber Ancient Emperor’s saber, looking at Zhu Xiuxiu.

Buzz————

An invisible force seemed to spread from the Hong Yao Immortal Emperor Token, falling upon Zhu Xiuxiu’s forehead.

In that instant, Zhu Xiuxiu froze in midair.

"Xiuxiu!"

Within Southern Saber Mountain, there were strong ones watching, and seeing Zhu Xiuxiu immobilized, they couldn’t sit idly, immediately rushing out from Southern Saber Mountain to save Zhu Xiuxiu.

The Hanging Fate Old Immortal seeing this, squinted his eyes, raised his right forefinger lightly to his lips, and softly spoke: "Shush..."

As that sound was uttered.

Those strong individuals of Southern Saber Mountain instantly vanished.

As if time reversed, all returned to within Southern Saber Mountain, as if nothing had happened.

The Hanging Fate Old Immortal took up his old smoking pipe hanging at his waist, puffed on it a few times, calmly watching Zhu Xiuxiu.

Zhu Xiuxiu’s expression was agonized, the same as Lu Li’s situation.

Suddenly the Hanging Fate Old Immortal raised an eyebrow, glancing afar, murmuring, "The Buddhist people can’t sit still? But at such a time to obstruct the Five-Colored Sky Covering Cloth is truly foolish."
