"Heh!"
"I'd love to see just who this master of yours is!"
Watching the blood-robed figure being obliterated, Jiang Wuxu couldn't help but sneer.
But beside him, Xi Wuqing showed a trace of worry.
"Who could this master he spoke of be?"
From the blood-robed figure's tone, his master seemed to be an extraordinarily powerful existence!
Even knowing Su Qingfrost was the sole Heavenly Emperor of the current era, he showed little fear!
His backing must be immense!
Unfortunately, they couldn't discern the origins of this faction, leaving no clues to deduce from.
Of course, Su Qingfrost and Jiang Wuxu didn't take it too seriously.
One was a Heavenly Emperor, the other at the peak of the Saint Ancestor Realm—together, they could sweep through the Three Thousand Dao Domains, unmatched by anyone!

How could they be intimidated by a mere sentence?
No matter how strong this so-called "master" was, could he overturn the heavens?
Beside them, Su Qingfrost remained silent.
Her expression still carried a hint of melancholy, her mind weighed down by worries.
Seeing this, Jiang Wuxu sighed.
"Frost, that matter…"
"It's been so many years. Don't let it trouble you anymore."
He stepped forward, gently holding her hand, and spoke softly.
"Let's go home."
Su Qingfrost said nothing more, leading the two back into the spatial passage.
But along the way, she remained silent, her mood low.
Jiang Wuxu also let out occasional sighs.
"What's wrong with Dad and Mom?"
Inside the womb, Jiang Yuqiong sensed the tense atmosphere.
What had happened back then that they still couldn't let go of, even now?
In the silence, several days later, they finally entered the range of the Wuxiu Domain.
"Hmm? That feels like Master's aura!"
"Is he at our home?"
Before exiting the spatial passage, Jiang Wuxu suddenly said.
Su Qingfrost looked up, extending her divine sense.
A smile crept onto her face.
The gloom that had lingered in her heart for days dissipated significantly.
"Both Masters are here!"
"And Junior Brother Chu and Junior Sister Yu, too!"
Su Qingfrost said with a smile.
As soon as she spoke, the surrounding space twisted violently.
The next moment, the three appeared in a grand hall within Xuanshuang Celestial Heaven.
Seeing their return, a large group of figures in the hall stood up, all filled with joy.
Jiang Taixing, Su Yunfeng, Su Qingtian, and Su Qingyu were all present.
Besides them, there were eight others!
Two elders, three young men and women, and a young couple with a four- or five-year-old girl.
These people were all very familiar to Su Qingfrost and Jiang Wuxu.
They were from their sect—the Ancient Heaven Sect!
"Qingfrost!"
"Wuxu!"
Excited voices rang out as everyone crowded around.
Before the couple could speak, a hearty voice echoed through the hall.
"Haha, my dear disciples, you're finally back!"
"It's been years—I've missed you so much!"
The speaker was an elder, about sixty years old, dressed impeccably.
He wore a brocade robe with a jade belt around his waist, his face glowing with vitality.
His black hair was neatly tied back, shining with luster.
If he were younger, he'd undoubtedly be described as dashing and elegant.
He walked up to Jiang Wuxu, clapping his shoulder heartily.
"Master, what brings you to Xuanshuang Celestial Heaven?"
Jiang Wuxu asked with a smile.
After being apart for so long, the master and disciple reunion felt especially warm.
"Hahaha… I heard about what happened at the Mu family's banquet!"
"Worth of my grand-disciple—even before birth, his brilliance is unmatched, suppressing all of eternity!"
"So, Old Man Zhao and I couldn't sit still. We rushed over without stopping to see my dear grand-disciple!"
The grand-disciple he referred to was, of course, the unborn Jiang Yuqiong.
As Xiao Fuyi spoke, his gaze shifted to Su Qingfrost.
At the same time, he noticed an old woman beside her, leaning on a walking stick, hunched and frail.
After a moment of focus, Xiao Fuyi's expression suddenly turned astonished.
"Is this… Granny Xi?"
"You've come too?"
He let out a surprised exclamation.
At this moment, the others also noticed Xi Wuqing, all showing expressions of surprise.
Everyone present knew of Granny Xi's existence.
She was a renowned powerhouse from long ago, her strength far surpassing theirs many years back.
In her early years, she had accompanied Su Qingfrost's growth, helping her immensely.
But now, with her lifespan nearing its end, she hadn't appeared in the world for many years.
In recent years, Su Qingfrost had repeatedly invited her to live at Xuanshuang Celestial Heaven, but she refused each time.
So why had she suddenly come today?
"Greetings, Granny Xi!"
In an instant, everyone bowed to Xi Wuqing, showing deep respect.
But Granny Xi stared straight at Xiao Fuyi, suddenly letting out a cold snort.
"What?"
"You can come to Xuanshuang Celestial Heaven, but I can't?"
"Not only am I here, I'll be staying from now on—you'd better watch yourself!"
As she spoke, she slammed her walking stick onto the ground, as if striking Xiao Fuyi's heart, making him jump in fright.
"Uh…"
Everyone in the hall was stunned.
What was going on?
Why did Granny Xi start off so hostile?
But then, they quickly understood.
Back when Su Qingfrost first brought Granny Xi to the Ancient Heaven Sect,
Xiao Fuyi, fearing she was too naive and might be deceived, privately warned her: Be wary of that old woman—she's so kind to you, who knows what she's plotting!
It wasn't unreasonable for Xiao Fuyi to think this way.
Granny Xi was a solitary cultivator, known for her reclusive nature, always alone.
Suddenly treating Su Qingfrost like her own child, protecting her at every turn, naturally raised suspicions.
But unexpectedly, Xi Wuqing overheard every word, nearly flying into a rage and scattering Xiao Fuyi's ashes on the spot!
It took Jiang Wuxu and Su Qingfrost a long time to calm her down.
They thought the matter had been settled, but it seemed Granny Xi still held a grudge.
Xiao Fuyi stood in the hall, his face awkward.
"Of course, of course!"
"We're naturally delighted to have Senior here!"
He forced a smile, quickly saying.
But Granny Xi gave him no face.
"This isn't the Ancient Heaven Sect—I don't need your welcome!"
As she spoke, she used her walking stick to push Xiao Fuyi aside, hobbling over to a chair and sitting down.
Xiao Fuyi stood there, embarrassed, unsure where to put his hands or feet.
The others didn't know what to say either.
But at that moment, another elder from the Ancient Heaven Sect suddenly spoke.
"Qingfrost, why do you look unwell?"
The speaker was Su Qingfrost's master, Zhao He.
He wore a simple gray robe, a wine gourd hanging at his waist, looking somewhat aged.
But he was full of vigor, his energy restrained.
As expected of a master-disciple bond of many years, despite Su Qingfrost's improved mood, Zhao He saw through her with one glance.
Before Su Qingfrost could speak, Jiang Wuxu let out a soft sigh.
"On our way back, we encountered something."
He recounted what had happened.
Hearing his description, everyone's expressions grew grave.
"I know about this! Before coming to Xuanshuang Celestial Heaven, the Ancient Heaven Sect received related information!"
"That demonic faction, killing to refine souls, is outrageously bold, having slaughtered several major cities!"
"They call themselves… the Eternal Blood Prison!"
