Chapter 4749: The Power of the Deep Sea (2)

Qiao Mu nodded obediently, "Okay."

Xuanhuang saw her poor state and was truly worried. She squeezed her small hand and said, "How about you go to the surface of the sea and wait for Master first?"

Xuanhuang gazed at the child's expressionless face, knowing that her heart must be churning with immense waves, and she could not possibly be as calm and peaceful as she appeared on the surface.

Thinking of the Heavenly Dao's repeated obstructions earlier, and then looking at her little disciple's expression now, she truly wished she could grab the Heavenly Dao again and beat it up.

"Your little companions, they are all waiting for you up there."

The little stoic was silent for a while, then glanced at her Master.

Seeing this, Xuanhuang raised a hand and stroked her head, "Don't worry, although this Sacrificial Sea Abyss is bottomless, it cannot harm your Master. Come, I'll send you up first."

Xuanhuang took Qiao Mu's hand.

Qiao Mu instantly felt a huge force coming from beneath her, and she involuntarily soared upwards with her Master.

It felt like flying, and also like tearing apart the space here little by little, teleporting through it.

Xuanhuang's speed was incredibly fast.

In just a moment, she sent Qiao Mu to the ice cave entrance of the Sacrificial Sea Abyss.

Due to the massive tremor earlier, all the ice at the cave entrance had collapsed.

Xuanhuang shattered the ice blocking their way with one hand, then pulled the little stoic out of the cave.

Only then did the little stoic realize that the seawater only lingered near the Sacrificial Sea Abyss and did not surge into the cave entrance at all. Thus, there wasn't a single drop of water beneath the ice.

"Child," Xuanhuang rubbed the little stoic's head, gently admonishing, "You swim up. Master will go down and see what's happening. I'll come up to find you very soon."

The little stoic obediently nodded again, her gaze fixed on Xuanhuang's figure as she submerged into the Sacrificial Sea Abyss for a while, then she turned, kicked her legs, and swam towards the surface of the sea along with the current.

The seawater had now returned to its icy temperature, no longer scaldingly hot and terrifying.

Perhaps because of the glaciers emerging from the bottom of the Sacrificial Sea Abyss, the water here was significantly colder than the surrounding currents.

A chilling sensation lingered in Qiao Mu's heart, but it couldn't suppress the burning anger that surged within her.

Long Qian!

Ultimately, everything that happened today was due to this deranged old woman.

What kind of hatred or grievance made this old woman so eager for her to die?

To deal with her, she even didn't hesitate to summon the monstrous Saint Beast from the deep seabed abyss.

Was it all just to eliminate her in one fell swoop?

A cold glint flashed in Qiao Mu's eyes. She kicked her legs hard, rapidly swimming towards the surface of the sea.

The thirteen elders who came from the Saint Realm.

Except for two of them who were caught by the Heavenly Dao during their escape and annihilated.

The remaining eleven elders are currently enduring a process worse than death.

They have no idea how many bolts of heavenly lightning are continuously striking them.

Their bodies are lacerated and charred. Trapped by the Heavenly Dao within a domain, they can only endure the relentless heavenly lightning.

"Twenty-eight bolts," Long Hui shivered, counting silently in his heart.

Among them, two elders had already collapsed and fainted.

But the heavenly lightning showed no sympathy for the unconscious elders.

It continued to strike the two poor souls lying on the ground until their bodies were riddled with holes and beyond repair. Only then did it cease its attack.

Long Qian stood there, her eyes flickering slightly, quietly retreating a step, then another step.
