Supreme of the Heavenly Realm

"They're out!"

Everyone's eyes lit up at this moment. After waiting for so long, finally there was some movement.

At the entrance, figures began to file out one after another. The first to emerge were Ao Wuxu, Huang Qinger, and Kun Wanyu. Behind them were the Ghost Emperor and another person in a black robe, both were subordinates of the Spirit Ghost Emperor.

Swish!

As soon as they came out, the previously immovable dark figure moved. His figure shifted, and a long blade swept out like a cascading waterfall, instantly striking the five of them and sending them flying.

"Qinger!"

Seeing the few emerge, the Great Elder of the Phoenix Clan hurriedly stepped forward to support Huang Qinger, while others rushed to assist their allies.

After striking the few, the puppet shadow did not pursue them further. Once they were beyond the range it needed to clear, it stopped attacking.

"Ye Xuan and the others haven't come out yet?"

After stabilizing himself and resting for a moment, Ao Wuxu glanced around but did not see Ye Xuan and Ling Qianxue. His expression darkened slightly.

"Ye Xuan? What's happened to him?"

Ao Kun and the others were unaware of what had transpired, but seeing Ao Wuxu's grim face, they could guess something had gone wrong for the latter in the Third Level.

"He encountered a high-level Sealing Emperor adversary, an old monster from the Netherworld named Spirit Ghost Emperor."

Ao Wuxu spoke in a low voice.

"What? A high-level Sealing Emperor strong person?"

Ao Kun and the others were shocked. A high-level Sealing Emperor was top tier in the Ancient World, comparable to ancient figures in their Dragon Clan. Who would have thought such a figure would appear here?

Wasn't Ye Xuan doomed after encountering such an enemy?

"Let's hope he can escape successfully,"

Ao Wuxu sighed. Being targeted by such a level enemy, it was likely a narrow escape.

"Lord Ghost Emperor, what's the latest with that Ye Xuan kid?" On the other side, Emperor Bao Yuan was eagerly looking at the Ghost Emperor, only concerned with whether Ye Xuan was alive or dead.

"Rest assured, that kid is being dealt with personally by the Spirit Ghost Emperor. He's certain to die."

The Ghost Emperor sneered coldly.

"The Spirit Ghost Emperor himself?"

Hearing this, Emperor Bao Yuan was completely at ease. With the Spirit Ghost Emperor, a high-level Sealing Emperor, personally taking action, Ye Xuan surely had no chance of survival.

"Hmph! Little brat, this is the price for offending my Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Palace."

Emperor Bao Yuan wore a smile; with Ye Xuan dead, his task was complete.

Finally, this little brat was dead.

Buzz!

At that moment, the ancient door trembled again, seemingly indicating someone else was coming.

"Someone else is coming out!"

Many people focused their attention, waiting for the figures to appear.

The sound of breaking wind rang out as two figures rushed out from inside the door.

It was a man and a woman.

"Ye Xuan, Miss Ling?"

Ao Wuxu was momentarily stunned, then his face lit up with joy. The two figures that came out were indeed Ye Xuan and Ling Qianxue.

Who would have thought the two of them were still alive?

"How is this possible?"

On the side of Emperor Bao Yuan and the Ghost Emperor, expressions filled with disbelief emerged, their faces quickly darkening. This brat wasn't dead?

"Ghost Emperor, didn't you say that kid was certain to die?!"

Emperor Bao Yuan's face turned livid as he sent a voice transmission to question.

"How should I know? Who would have thought the Spirit Ghost Emperor failed, and that brat managed to escape?" The Ghost Emperor's face turned sullen, though he didn't believe the Spirit Ghost Emperor was dead, but rather assumed Ye Xuan had merely fled.

"But don't worry, that brat is seriously injured, and the puppet guardian won't let him go easily."

The Ghost Emperor narrowed his eyes, a frosty glint flashing.

He could see that Ye Xuan was gravely injured, making him unlikely to withstand the puppet guardian.

"Get ready. We need to help those two,"

Ao Wuxu intended to gather the Dragon Clan to assist Ye Xuan and Ling Qianxue against the puppet guardian—otherwise, given Ye Xuan's current state, they wouldn't be able to withstand it.

"Heh, no one is going to help that brat,"

At that moment, several figures blocked their path, notably the Ghost Emperor and Emperor Bao Yuan.

"You again, Netherman. We haven't settled the score from earlier!"

Ao Wuxu, his face darkening, launched a Dragon Seal straight at the Ghost Emperor without hesitation.

"Great Elder, Ye Xuan helped me in the Third Level. I want to repay that favor,"

From the Phoenix Clan's side, Huang Qinger also looked towards the nearby Great Elder.

"In my opinion, they might not need our help,"

The Great Elder squinted and stopped Huang Qinger.

In their sight, Ye Xuan and Ling Qianxue walked out of the gate without fleeing in panic as expected, appearing calm and unhurried.

Whiz!

The puppet guardian sensed the aura of Ye Xuan and Ling Qianxue, its figure flashed and it appeared in front of them, slashing down forcefully.

"Foolish, daring to be so arrogant in front of this guardian is courting death,"

Emperor Bao Yuan sneered coldly, looking at Ye Xuan and Ling Qianxue as if seeing dead people.

However, the next moment, when they saw what happened, everyone was stunned.

Silently, Ling Qianxue stopped the puppet guardian's long blade with her bare palm, and no matter how hard the guardian tried, it couldn't break free from her grasp.

Bam!

Ling Qianxue suddenly released her grip and struck the guardian in the chest, sending it flying.

"What?"

Watching the puppet guard being blown away with one strike, everyone was dumbfounded.

Moments ago, this puppet guardian had easily overpowered almost everyone, it was an invincible presence that left a shadow in people's minds. But now, it was effortlessly struck down by Ling Qianxue, causing everyone to doubt if she was the same Ling Qianxue, or if she had been hiding her strength all along.

Thus, under astonished gazes, Ling Qianxue accompanied by Ye Xuan calmly descended the steps. The puppet guardian charged at them repeatedly, only to be easily repelled by Ling Qianxue, as if merely performing a futile action over and over.

"Incredible, I thought Ye Xuan was extraordinary, but his girlfriend is even more so,"

Ao Wuxu was at a loss for words, stunned by Ling Qianxue's strength, feeling even he was under a sense of pressure—a majesty of an Emperor, an air of imperial path.
