Yun Changtian's expression froze.
Lowering his head, he glanced at his own body and stared with wide eyes.
"I've just appeared and it's over already?"
He mumbled in a daze.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, his body exploded open under the rampage of tremendous power.
Yun Changtian.
Dead!
The blood rain splattered onto Bai Qianyi, making her shudder and scaring her out of her wits.
Even though she had personally witnessed the miserable state of Yun Changtian twice before, seeing it with her own eyes still heavily shocked her state of mind.
But in that split second when she was distracted, the scene in the distance flashed with light again.
Two pillars of light once again locked onto her and shot at her from afar.
Although the teleportation array was within reach, Bai Qianyi was still scared out of her wits and frantically rushed into the teleportation array.
Finally, she stepped into the teleportation array.
The teleportation array fluctuated and Bai Qianyi instantly teleported back to Baiyang Palace. The moment she returned to Baiyang Palace, the teleportation array also closed.
Seeing the familiar sights of Baiyang Palace and the familiar fresh air, Bai Qianyi breathed a sigh of relief and slumped powerlessly to the ground.
But in her eyes flickered boundless hatred.
As the goddess of the esteemed Baiyang Palace and the future successor, she had paid an extremely high price just for her first trip out into the world beyond, losing as many as three lives.
Such a loss was totally unacceptable to her.
"No matter who you are, I will make you pay ten times, a hundred times more. I swear to shred you into pieces to avenge this hatred in my heart."
Bai Qianyi uttered through gritted teeth, every word clear.
Hmm?
Suddenly, she felt something was not right.
She turned her head towards the distant sky and her eyelid twitched.
She saw two pillars of light shooting over from the distant sky, directly locking onto her.
"What?"
"They actually crossed the boundary to chase me!"
She stared with disbelief in her huge eyes. Never had she imagined that the two pillars of light would actually chase her directly into the virtual realm.
The fear in her heart instantly rose again. As her immortal power surged throughout her body, she fled towards the inner sanctum of Baiyang Palace with unprecedented speed.
As she ran, her hysterical voice rang out again.
"Save me, Master!"
Fortunately, this was the main base of Baiyang Palace. The moment the light pillars appeared, many experts had sensed the terrifying aura.
Boom!
In that instant, mighty auras soared into the sky from all parts of Baiyang Palace as dozens of experts flew out.
Once out, they immediately spotted the bedraggled Bai Qianyi being chased by the light pillars.
"Such powerful attacks, we must join forces to resist."
The leader was Lu Zhengyi, the Lord of Baiyang Palace. Squinting at the attacking light pillars, his brows instantly furrowed.
The might of the light pillars also made his heart palpitate, so he didn't dare take it lightly and immediately ordered everyone to jointly resist.
The experts nodded and made hand seals simultaneously, each pushing out a palm strike towards the front.
The attacks of dozens combined together into a terrifying shock wave that seemed almost solid as it wrapped towards the light pillars.
Boom!
In an instant, the two tremendous powers collided.
The sky instantly swelled with a huge mushroom cloud.
The wild storm forces spread out in all directions. Countless buildings of Baiyang Palace were razed to the ground by the shock wave.
At the same time as they spread out, the light pillars disappeared mid-air.
But the numerous experts of Baiyang Palace were also not faring well. Dozens muffled groans in unison as they were blasted back, sliding through the air for thousands of feet before finally stabilizing themselves.
"What was that attack? To actually be so powerful that even with so many of us combining our strengths, we barely blocked one strike." Lu Zhengyi's brows furrowed as he immediately looked towards Bai Qianyi slumped on the ground.
"Qian'er, exactly what happened?"
Lu Zhengyi led the group of experts towards Bai Qianyi, frowning as he asked, "What happened to the two Elders who went out with you?"
"Master, you must avenge me."
Bai Qianyi shook her body and said with red-rimmed eyes full of hatred, "We met someone outside. Not only did he kill the two Elders, he also used up all three imprints that the Sect bestowed me with."
"What?"
"Your three imprints have all been used up?"
Lu Zhengyi's expression turned ashen as he looked at Bai Qianyi's palm.
Indeed, the three imprints had become dim without any glow left.
"Just who was it?"
Lu Zhenyi uttered one word at a time through gritted teeth, his entire body emanating an imposing aura mingled with thick fury.
"Since the virtual realm reopened, this was the first time my Baiyang Palace entered the outside world, yet we've suffered such tragic losses when we returned. This is unacceptable."
"I also don't know who he was, but he didn't even put our Baiyang Palace in his eyes at all, saying killing us was like pinching dead bugs."
"If not for the three imprints and the golden teleportation array you gave me, I'm afraid you wouldn't even see your disciple anymore."
"Even so, by the time your disciple managed to escape back, I was already stretched to my limits."
Bai Qianyi choked out, red-rimmed eyes looking at Lu Zhengyi and the rest as she spoke.
"Alright alright."
"What an outrageous arrogance to regard my Baiyang Palace as mere ants. I'll take a look what kind of person would actually be so presumptuous!"
Lu Zhengyi clenched his fist tightly as an imposing aura erupted from his body, mingled with simmering fury.
"Elders at the Heaven Immortal cultivation level stay behind to guard the Palace, the rest come with me. We'll be having a chat with this person."
"I'll see if he still has the gall to be arrogant in front of my Baiyang Palace."
"Thank you, Master. Please capture him and destroy his cultivation, so I can properly torment him." Bai Qianyi said viciously.
"Qian'er, don't worry."
Lu Zhengyi gently comforted. "As my Baiyang Palace's most outstanding disciple, I definitely won't let anyone bully you without reason. No matter who it is or what their reasons, anyone who dares harm you will undoubtedly die!"
As his voice faded, Lu Zhengyi flicked his sleeve. Golden light flashed and a massive flying ship appeared in the sky.
"Board the ship!"
Following his command, dozens of experts flew onto the flying ship in unison. Each had an extremely deep and powerful aura, the lowest among them at the Heaven Immortal cultivation level.
Such a line-up was simply terrifying.
Any random one who walked out would be able to sweep across the Immortal River Continent.
"Qian'er, come with me too."
Lu Zhengyi said. "Let me show you how the one who bullied you will tremble in fear beneath the might of my Baiyang Palace."
"Master, I..."
Bai Qianyi's expression unconsciously changed as she hesitated indecisively.
To be honest, the fear instilled by the light pillar still lingered and would not easily disperse.
"Don't worry, I'm here. No one will be able to harm you."
Lu Zhengyi discerned Bai Qianyi's thoughts in one glance and solemnly reassured her.
"That's true too..." Bai Qianyi's gaze flickered.
Although she was the goddess of Baiyang Palace, her strength was still quite a bit weaker than these Elders. Not to mention, her Master was also here.
With such a line-up, where would there be any danger for her?
Moreover, that incident had left her in such a wretched state. If she didn't personally witness the miserable pleading appearance of the person behind it groveling on the ground, how could she feel satisfied?
She followed the crowd of experts onto the flying ship.
Soon, the flying ship streaked through the sky like flowing light. Following Bai Qianyi's directions, they rushed towards Bai'er City...
