The woman, who had so unexpectedly become their savior, was none other than Yue Xin.
They knew little about her origins or her true strength, but her actions spoke volumes. She had possessed the foresight to sense the impending doom, and had orchestrated their escape with remarkable speed and precision. She had used a unique artifact to create a secret space tunnel while evading the watchful gaze of the three formidable Void Return Realm experts stationed outside.
These were the survivors of the Heaven's End Pavilion, those who had managed to escape the clutches of the Nether Sovereign's forces. Elder Shi, Vermilion Blade Lian, Thrice-Cursed Hong, and a handful of other core members.
Among them was Ren Shui who turned his towards the distant void where the Astral King had stood.
"The Nether Sovereign..." He murmured with a barely audible voice. "They will pay for what they've done."
