560: How have you been?

"Fellow Daoist Qian Mei!"

Below, as the endless mysterious light descended from the heavens, Venerable Kuang Dao, Venerable He Run, and a number of Soul Transformation Cultivators paused.

Their eyes revealed an expression of disbelief as they looked at the solemn figure.

"How could this be...?"

A number of Soul Transformation Venerables felt doubt in their hearts, looking at the xumi pagoda, several hundred zhang tall, below.

The mysterious light descending from the heavens followed the light emitted by the xumi pagoda, clearly coming from the Upper Realm.

But why would the person appearing here be Fellow Daoist Qian Mei?

"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Qian Mei has defected to the Xiwu Divine Hall? Then where is Fellow Daoist Mo?"

This thought simultaneously arose in the hearts of many figures, and they looked upwards with complex expressions.

"I..."

In the high sky above, Old Ancestor Qingtian's heart trembled.

The profound and supreme Dao essence made it difficult for him to even think of resisting.

He was about to say something, but as the words left his mouth...

He saw the space-time tunnel behind him shake violently, and screams echoed out.

Old Ancestor Qingtian's expression changed again, and he looked towards the space-time tunnel behind him.

He saw golden flames emerging from the space-time tunnel, and a moment later, a golden, domineering figure stepped out from within the space-time tunnel.

"Heh heh~"

"There are even unexpected gains."

"Those two wastes actually dared to try and stop us, truly foolish."

As the golden figure stepped out of the space-time tunnel, a arrogant and domineering voice of disdain resounded through heaven and earth.

In an instant, the golden figure emerging from the tunnel felt a slight doubt in his heart; why did he not sense the dishevelled aura of someone fleeing in panic?

The golden figure furrowed his brow and looked forward.

His gaze swept over the figures from the Dark Star Great World, whose eyes were filled with fear but who had not fled, passed the Aged Figure whose anger soared to the heavens but could only grit his teeth, and then saw an exquisite woman with seven tails, her face adorned with a faint, almost imperceptible smile.

"Fox demon..."

The golden figure paused slightly.

Then, the exquisite woman with a smiling face, showing a hint of surprise, spoke softly.

"Remnants of the Xiwu Divine Hall?"

"Is this truly the Dao Lord's real intention?"

Venerable Qian Mei Hu seemed to have a sudden realization.

"Damn it!"

The golden figure who had walked out of the space-time tunnel paused, his expression changing drastically, and with a spread of his golden wings, he frantically retreated towards the space-time tunnel.

"Third Brother, Fifth Brother, retreat quickly!"

Just as this golden figure was frantically fleeing, two equally powerful and arrogant auras came from within the space-time tunnel, but this golden figure showed no trace of joy, instead roaring desperately towards the space-time tunnel.

"Eighth Brother..."

"None of you will escape."

In the high sky, the enchanting, solemn, and exquisite figure with seven colorful tails slowly extended her fair hand.

A profound Dao Seal slowly floated up from the palm of her fair hand.

Execute!

"I am willing to surrender!"

The moment this profound ancient seal with the character 'Execute' appeared, Old Ancestor Qingtian, his face pale, shouted repeatedly.

This was a true sense of death, not a threat, not a warning sign, but a truly predetermined fate and future.

Om~

The ancient seal with the character 'Execute' hovered in the air, trembling slightly, spinning and changing.

Dark clouds suddenly appeared, encircling the ancient seal, and purple-black divine lightning flowed within the dark clouds.

Om~

Tiny purple-black lightning snakes emerged from the dark clouds, disappearing into the space-time tunnel.

At the other end of the space-time tunnel, in the Dark Star Great World.

The moment three golden, domineering figures emerged from the space-time tunnel...

Their bodies stiffened.

They lowered their heads slightly, looking at their chests.

They saw a tiny wisp of purple-black lightning piercing through their bodies from their hearts.

The three golden figures twisted their heads with difficulty to look at each other, their eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.

They wanted to use means to save themselves, but their Primordial Spirits were already extinguished, making salvation impossible.

"I... am unwilling..."

The peerless expert ranked third in the Xiwu Divine Hall, whose cultivation was closest to Void Refinement Late-stage, had this final thought.

Immediately, his body uncontrollably fell downwards.

The three golden figures plummeted, like golden meteors, streaking across the sky.

"They just died like that?"

The moment the three Void Refining Ancestors of the Xiwu Divine Hall fell, on the other side of the space-time tunnel, Old Ancestor Qingtian's mouth was dry, his heart filled with an indescribable feeling.

The powerful enemies who had driven him and the entire Dark Star Great World to a dead end had fallen so silently, without causing a single ripple.

"Is this the might of a Dao Lord...?"

Old Ancestor Qingtian's heart was complex.

He thought of the fox demon's words just now, and his heart stirred.

Hesitating slightly, he took a step forward and bowed respectfully to the ancient seal with the character 'Execute' that was quietly floating and rotating.

"This Junior is willing to be a vanguard for the Dao Lord, to share the Dao Lord's worries."

Old Ancestor Qingtian spoke loudly, his heart full of trepidation and anxiety.

The ancient seal with the character 'Execute' remained unchanged, yet in the space between heaven and earth, an invisible, supreme existence, imperceptible to everyone, seemed to nod slightly.

Old Ancestor Qingtian's face lit up with joy, and he bowed again.

"The Dao Lord is benevolent!"

Then he stood up and turned around, speaking loudly to the figures behind him.

"Follow me to slay the enemy!"

Old Ancestor Qingtian gave the command, taking the lead, stepping forward, and disappearing into the space-time tunnel.

Behind him, the strong Cultivators of the Dark Star Great World followed one after another.

In the Dark Star Great World, the remaining Disciples of the Xiwu Divine Hall looked bewildered.

Then they frantically scattered and fled.

In just a moment, Old Ancestor Qingtian, leading the strong Cultivators of the Dark Star Great World, had already pursued them.

In the Dark Star Great World, countless Dao laws and Divine Abilities collided.

Figures fell one after another, signifying that on the path to immortality, some had forever lost their qualifications.

On the other side of the space-time tunnel.

The enchanting, solemn, and exquisite figure with seven colorful tails turned around and bowed gracefully to the figures below, whose expressions were unknown.

"Fellow Daoists, Qian Mei greets you here."

Venerable Qian Mei Hu's smile spread slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Qian Mei, how did you come to be here?"

Venerable Scarlet Flame, a Scarlet Flame Divine Bird transformed into human form, wearing a scarlet robe, asked Venerable Qian Mei Hu.

"This is a long story; I will discuss it in detail with Fellow Daoist another day."

Venerable Qian Mei Hu smiled gently, not elaborating.

"Fellow Daoist Qian Mei, may I ask who the Dao Lord you just mentioned is...?"

In front of the crowd, Venerable Kuang Dao's ancient long saber was not sheathed, his expression slightly hesitant, as he asked in a deep voice.

As these words were spoken, all the Soul Transformation strong Cultivators, including several Soul Transformation Middle Stage Venerables, looked up at the exquisite figure and the profound ancient seal in the high sky.

Only Venerable He Run seemed pensive, as if he had some speculation.

However, this speculation made even him disbelieve it; although his old friend was naturally extraordinary, this was a Dao Lord, a truly supreme strong Cultivator, how could it be so fast...? Hearing this, Venerable Qian Mei Hu's smile grew wider.

"Fellow Daoists, there's no need to panic. The Dao Lord's title... is not unfamiliar to you."

Venerable Qian Mei Hu spoke softly, her expression slightly respectful.

Everyone was stunned, as if they had thought of something, their eyes filled with bewilderment and disbelief.

Just then, a low, majestic, grand, yet somewhat familiar voice seemed to come from beyond the Nine Heavens, from the endless space-time above.

"Everyone, it's been a while."
