Everyone, have you had your fill of the show?
Su Qingshuang wielded the Heavenly Frost Sword, her sword aura striking empty space.
The demonic blood escape technique had carried Xue Honglou to safety!
At this moment, even Su Qingshuang could no longer sense his presence.
"Damn it! He still got away!"
The strong individuals from the Holy Lands and Great Sects were filled with frustration.
Xue Honglou's endless atrocities warranted his suppression to eliminate future threats forever!
But alas, he had successfully escaped!
"Sigh…"
Grandmother Xi let out a sigh.
Jiang Wu Xu stood there, lost in thought.
Su Qingshuang remained in place, gazing into the distance, motionless for a long while, lost in unknown contemplations.
"Xue Honglou fled, burning his essence blood—he's bound to suffer severe injuries!"
"For the short term, he certainly won't recover his half-step Heavenly Emperor strength!"
"The Three Thousand Dao Domains can enjoy peace for a while longer."
The Holy Master of Huangchu sighed softly.
Only then did the crowd slightly relax.
The Eternal Blood Prison wouldn't resurface anytime soon—this great calamity had, for now, reached a temporary conclusion!
Yet the Eternal Lord still lived.
Perhaps one day in the future, he would reappear, bringing chaos to the world and slaughtering billions of lives!
It was like a sword of death, perpetually hanging over their heads!
"In a while, I'll take a trip to the Death Forbidden Zone."
From afar, Su Qingshuang finally snapped out of her reverie and walked back.
She suddenly spoke these words.
"Frost!"
Jiang Wu Xu immediately showed a look of worry.
That was the Death Forbidden Zone!
It had once buried a Heavenly Emperor!
He didn't want Su Qingshuang to risk herself!
"Don't worry, I'll handle it with care!"
Su Qingshuang said softly.
After the events with Xue Honglou, the mood of everyone present grew subdued.
Especially for Jiang Wu Xu and Su Qingshuang.
Xue Honglou had been their closest friend!
He'd treated them like a big brother would his younger siblings.
But who could've imagined that, for the sake of the Heavenly Emperor's throne, he'd fall into the demonic path and kill so many?
Six hundred years ago, it had happened once.
Now, the old wounds were reopened, sparking chaos again!
He'd even raised his blade against the two of them!
This was something the couple struggled to accept, their spirits sinking low.
Jiang Yuqiong saw it all.
He could understand his parents' feelings.
But they couldn't stay in this state forever just because of Xue Honglou.
"Dad, Mom, don't be sad anymore!"
Jiang Yuqiong suddenly leapt from Grandmother Xi's arms, breaking free of the swaddle's confines.
His bare little body sprang up, spiritual energy glowing over him to cover the key areas.
In a flash, he landed in Su Qingshuang's embrace, one tiny hand hooking around her neck.
The other gently brushed across her slightly swollen, red eyes.
"Mom, crying makes you less pretty!"
Jiang Yuqiong said in his babyish voice.
Though they couldn't understand his words,
Seeing his antics, the melancholy in Su Qingshuang's expression finally began to melt away.
"That's right, Little Qingshuang!"
Grandmother Xi shuffled over unsteadily at this moment.
She then looked at Jiang Wu Xu.
"And you, Jiang kid, after all these years, it's time to let go."
"Just pretend the Xue Honglou from back then is already dead."
"The person now is the Eternal Lord, not him!"
Grandmother Xi comforted them gently.
The members of Hidden Sword Mountain, Jade Cauldron Holy Land, and others chimed in too.
"Exactly! Frost Emperor, Saint Ancestor Wu Xu, don't take it too hard."
"Xue Honglou is Xue Honglou, and the Eternal Lord is the Eternal Lord!"
"Keep the memories of your old friendship in your hearts—that's enough."
"What's at stake now isn't just personal grudges—it's about the greater good of the human race!"
"The Eternal Lord isn't worth your lingering concern!"
Many elder figures offered their counsel.
In terms of seniority, they were venerable ancients, qualified to speak so.
"These old monsters who've lived forever sure know how to talk!"
Jiang Yuqiong muttered inwardly.
He pressed close to his mom, his little face snuggling against Su Qingshuang's, full of affection.
At the same time, he waved a hand toward his dad.
"Dad, come over here!"
"Let me give you a hug too!"
Jiang Wu Xu paused, then couldn't help but laugh.
The family of three stood together, embracing quietly.
Jiang Yuqiong wrapped one arm around his dad, the other around his mom, gently patting their shoulders.
The scene drew chuckles from the crowd.
This little guy, barely born, was already so good at comforting people.
In that moment, Su Qingshuang and Jiang Wu Xu's moods lifted considerably.
The family of three savored their tender moment.
After everything they'd been through today, this warmth felt hard-won.
Su Qingshuang wore a gentle smile, carefully sensing her little one's presence, her face glowing with happiness.
No one noticed that when she picked up on something again, her brow furrowed slightly.
Far away,
All the onlookers were marveling endlessly.
Today's battle had finally come to a close.
But the impact of these events would likely take a long time to settle.
It was a very long while before the crowd's emotions gradually calmed.
In that hidden space,
The Emperor of Jinghong, Ji Cunye, Mu Nantian, and others were similarly filled with感慨.
But suddenly, Su Kuangren, the Sect Master of Bawang Sect, spoke up.
His words jolted everyone like a shockwave!
"Master Ji, have you figured out a plan yet or not?"
His statement yanked them back to the harshest reality.
Xuanshuang Grotto-Heaven's crisis had been safely resolved.
But the trouble they faced was only just beginning!
They had schemed tirelessly today, hoping to pluck chestnuts from the fire and strike at a Heavenly Emperor!
They'd thought their plan foolproof, but now…
How were they going to explain this to the Frost Emperor?
Cold sweat broke out on Ji Cunye's forehead again, and he stayed silent for a long while.
Clearly, he couldn't come up with a perfect solution!
The others glared at him, brewing storms of fury.
Until, at a certain moment, that anger exploded!
"Ji Cunye!!!"
"You've doomed my Longevity Mu Family!"
Mu Nantian roared, his voice thunderous with rage.
He pointed at Ji Cunye, grinding his teeth to dust.
"Ji Cunye! You've harmed us all and yourself too!"
"When the Emperor's wrath comes, none of us will escape the consequences!"
"I was a fool to believe your nonsense!"
The rest joined in, their voices thick with anger, unleashing their fury!
They'd come here today, swayed by Ji Cunye's persuasion, lured by his enticing words.
Who could've foreseen things would spiral to this point?
The Emperor of Jinghong snorted coldly, flung his sleeve, and prepared to lead the group away.
The others shot Ji Cunye a venomous glare, ready to depart.
Rather than linger here, it was better to leave early, return home, and carefully consider how to face a Heavenly Emperor's fury!
But just then, an icy voice suddenly rang in their ears.
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, pounding wildly, their steps freezing in place!
As if struck by a binding spell!
Their expressions shifted, as if they'd heard something utterly terrifying, their bodies trembling, cold sweat streaming down.
"Master Ji, Emperor of Jinghong, Master Mu… are you leaving just like that?"
"You've all watched such a long show—surely you must be weary by now?"
"Why not come to my Xuanshuang Grotto-Heaven for a brief rest and a cup of simple tea?"
