Not long after.
The immortals of the Heavenly Immortal Palace, their immortal essence enveloping the restrained great bell, carried it back toward the Heavenly Immortal Palace.
All that remained was the devastated Zhang family estate.
When Zhang Renyong regained consciousness from his severe injuries, he found that the Zhang family had been reduced to ruins.
Apart from a few individuals with some cultivation, the rest had perished under the overwhelming pressure of those immortals.
"What on earth happened?!"
"Why?!"
Zhang Renyong spread his hands and collapsed to his knees in the courtyard, tears streaming from his eyes as he let out a heart-wrenching cry.
But what could he do against the Heavenly Immortal Palace?
All he felt was an overwhelming sense of helplessness.
...
Beyond the heavens.
A figure flew past.
It was Li Jin, soaring through the sky on his immortal sword.
"Senior Sister Yun Yun really outdid herself this time, rewriting the history of the Immortal Realm."
"A mere Earth Immortal ascending to the position of the ruler of the Upper Three Continents? Impressive."
"I wish I could pull off something like that, but damn it, I haven't even managed to land a single strike on anyone yet."
As Li Jin flew, he couldn't help but grumble, "What's even more frustrating is that all my fellow disciples have already made a name for themselves with their Earth Immortal cultivation, while I still have no idea what I'm doing."
"Should I just go around catching blades with my bare hands?"
"Forget it, I should find someone to join forces with."
"Join up with Junior Brother Hong Fengkuang?"
At the thought, he shivered involuntarily.
Sure, he might be able to stop Hong Fengkuang's self-destruction with a single sword strike, but if his hand slipped even once and he failed to draw his sword in time, he'd probably be the first among his fellow disciples to die in one of Hong Fengkuang's explosions.
"Forget it, I'll just go to Senior Sister Yun Yun and see if she can give me a decent position."
Li Jin continued flying toward the horizon.
Just then, his speed suddenly faltered.
"Is that... the aura of Senior Sister Yun Wu?"
"That's perfect. I'll go find her and maybe grab a meal."
With a smile, Li Jin followed the aura and quickly arrived at the outskirts of the Zhang family estate.
At a glance, he saw the tragic state of the Zhang family. Apart from the lingering aura of Yun Wu, there was no sign of her.
"What happened here?"
Li Jin frowned and immediately flew to Zhang Renyong's side.
He could sense that Zhang Renyong's body carried the strongest trace of Yun Wu's aura.
It was clear that this person had some significant connection with Yun Wu.
"Who are you?"
Zhang Renyong, his eyes red and hollow, slowly raised his head to look at Li Jin.
"Do you know Yun Wu?"
"I'm her junior brother."
Li Jin quickly asked.
Hearing that he was Yun Wu's junior brother, Zhang Renyong's pupils flickered, but upon sensing Li Jin's Earth Immortal cultivation, his eyes quickly dimmed again.
"Xiao Wu... was taken by the Heavenly Immortal Palace," Zhang Renyong said, his voice choked with emotion.
"What?!"
"The Heavenly Immortal Palace took my senior sister?"
Li Jin's expression darkened instantly.
He continued to press Zhang Renyong for answers, but the man was still reeling from the devastation of his family. His hollow eyes revealed that he knew nothing—neither the reason nor where Yun Wu had been taken.
Realizing he wouldn't get any answers from Zhang Renyong, Li Jin stood up and took a deep breath.
A fierce killing intent gleamed in his eyes.
This was outrageous.
Although Yun Wu was their senior sister, she was the youngest and most innocent among their fellow disciples, and thus the most beloved by everyone.
Now that the Heavenly Immortal Palace had captured her, this was absolutely unacceptable.
If the other disciples found out, the Heavenly Immortal Palace would be razed to the ground.
"If even a single hair on my senior sister's head is harmed, my fellow disciples and I will ensure that the entire Heavenly Immortal Palace is wiped out and erased from the Immortal Realm."
Li Jin growled fiercely, quickly pulling out a communication jade slip to contact his fellow disciples.
Beside him.
Zhang Renyong watched Li Jin's furious declaration and shook his head helplessly, his expression desolate as he began to clean up the ruins of the Zhang family estate.
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
