505: Xiaorou, interception in the void!

The little girl's sweet voice drifted over, and the Old Beggar smiled at her, then became absent-minded again.

"Xiaorou! Why are you giving him copper coins again? You've given him so many times, if you keep this up, Mommy won't give you money for candy men next time!"

Hearing this, the little girl grinned at her mother:

"Mommy, I gave the Old Beggar a copper coin, and I still have enough to buy a candy man. Didn't you say we should be happy to help others? Especially those who need help. Why aren't you letting me help the Old Beggar now?"

"Oh, you child, with such a warm heart, be careful not to be deceived later!"

......

The Old Beggar seemed to be startled by the sound, but he still didn't say anything.

He struggled to open his cloudy eyes a little wider, looking at the small copper coin in the bowl, then looked up at the small giver in front of him. A different kind of light seemed to flow in his eyes.

A moment later, after the little girl had walked away, he slowly stood up, the fallen leaves on his body continuously falling at this moment. He intended to pick up the copper coin from the broken bowl.

However, just as he was about to pick up the copper coin, the little girl's mother quickly walked over, and in front of the Old Beggar, she directly took the copper coin back, and said:

"Old Beggar, stop trying to gain sympathy here. To be honest, someone like you, with hands and feet and not particularly old, can make a living doing anything. Why beg?"

"If you really can't find a place, you can come to my shop and do odd jobs. I don't dislike you, but I just can't stand your lazy appearance, so I'm taking this money back."

The Old Beggar's outstretched hand froze in mid-air. For a moment, the atmosphere was a bit awkward. The little girl's mother left after speaking. After she walked away, the Old Beggar's hand slowly dropped, and then he returned to his lying position on the ground.

But in his eyes, some inexplicable light began to flicker.

Suddenly, his body trembled slightly, as if he had sensed something.

Deep within his cloudy, hard-to-open eyes, an indescribably sharp light suddenly ignited, like a star piercing through a thousand years of mist!

This light flashed and disappeared, so fast that no one could detect it.

But at this instant, an indescribable aura, extremely faint but incredibly pure, spread out from him as its center.

If Lu Hao were here, he would discover that the aura carried a power that transcended the material world and was superior to the mundane—that was Immortal Qi!

The Old Beggar's originally lazy, slovenly expression instantly vanished, replaced by a hint of solemnity, even a touch of anger.

He tilted his head slightly, his gaze piercing through the noisy marketplace above him, through the thick clouds, through the world's barrier, directly reaching beyond the borders of the Xuantian Ancient Realm.

There, a woman in a dark robe was flying rapidly towards them.

"A Nether Immortal from the Netherworld, Middle Stage Earth Immortal..."

A sharp gleam flowed in his cloudy eyes, carrying a hint of doubt:

"To so openly and brazenly intrude into my Xuantian Ancient Realm... This doesn't conform to the old rules established back then! Now is a critical period, I can't let her ruin things!"

He stood up, came before the little girl, and extended three candy pills, saying with a chuckle:

"Little girl, thank you for your copper coin. These are candy pills I'm giving you. One for you, and one for your father and mother."

The little girl, holding the candy man she had just bought, stared at the Old Beggar with her clear, bright eyes, and asked in confusion:

"Huh? Old Beggar, didn't you say you had no money? How do you have candy pills for me to eat?"

"Hahaha, of course, I saved them up. I'm giving them to you because you're a good girl."

After speaking, the Old Beggar's figure swayed bizarrely on the spot, instantly blurring, then completely disappearing.

The little girl seemed to not have noticed at all that a living person had instantly vanished in front of her. She just held the three candy pills, put one directly into her mouth, and then said with a giggle:

"So sweet!"

......

The Nether Immortal was about to enter the Xuantian Ancient Realm.

"Buzz!"

Ahead, a seemingly calm and boundless Void Realm, without warning, split open!

A coarse pottery broken bowl, its edges full of chips and stained with dried grime, was quietly and silently suspended there!

The bowl's opening was slightly tilted, aimed precisely at her location!

Then a figure stepped out from the spatial rift, just blocking the Nether Immortal's path of rapid flight.

It was the Old Beggar who had disappeared from the street corner of a Mortal town in the Xuantian Ancient Realm!

Only now, though he was still in his ragged clothes and his face was still unwashed, his entire demeanor had undergone an earth-shattering change.

That humble, dust-like aura was completely gone.

He stood casually in the Void Realm, as if he was about to merge with the surrounding Void Realm.

A cynical, smiling expression was on his face, and his right hand was even casually weighing a copper coin he had just taken from his clothes.

"Clink... clink..."

The copper coin lightly bounced and flipped between his rough fingers, emitting a faint metallic clinking sound, eerily clear in this quiet, boundless Void Realm.

The Nether Immortal's expression instantly changed drastically, and her rapidly flying figure abruptly paused!

The dark halo around her body fluctuated violently, showing the turmoil in her heart at this moment.

Her glazed pupils suddenly contracted, and an extremely strong warning instantly swept through her entire body!

Too fast, this was simply too fast!

She had just prepared to descend into the Xuantian Ancient Realm, and hadn't even had time to open a Void Realm tunnel, yet she had been discovered?

And she was intercepted so precisely in this Void Realm!

This was definitely not a coincidence!

That this person could so easily and precisely pinpoint her location meant his cultivation was unfathomable. This was the first time she had sensed such a threat in the Living Realm; even the old man deep within Baihua Valley before had not given her this terrifying feeling.

"Young lady, in such a hurry, where are you headed? May I know your name?"

The Old Beggar asked with a grin, not at all looking like a True Immortal who had achieved the Dao, but rather like a street ruffian.

The Nether Immortal forcibly suppressed the turbulent waves in her heart, and her beautiful face returned to that icy coldness, as if the shock just now had never happened.

She floated in the air, her dark robe motionless in the Void Realm, her voice extremely cold, without a ripple:

"Nether Immortal, heading to the Xuantian Ancient Realm."
