But as soon as they approached the entrance, before they could get close, a Mahayana mid-phase cultivator guarding the entrance stepped forward and stopped them:
"Without a token, you may not enter the Land of Immortal Remnants."
"Especially you cultivators from the Xuanqing Realm. You actually dare to approach the Land of Immortal Remnants."
"Scram immediately, or don’t blame us for being inhospitable."
However, just as the words left his mouth, Huang Qingling merely glanced over with a flash of light in her eyes and a streak of red light suddenly appeared. Before the Mahayana mid-phase cultivator could react, the red light had already charged forth and struck him.
Afterwards, that Mahayana mid-phase cultivator was hit as if by a heavy blow, instantly spewing blood as he staggered back, and the aura around his entire body instantly waned.
With just one glance, Huang Qingling had severely injured a Mahayana mid-phase cultivator, which was telling of her power.
Seeing this, the others guarding the entrance quickly leaped over to stand by the injured cultivator’s side, while looking towards Lin Jing and Huang Qingling with angry faces.
But at this moment...
A Mahayana peak elder hurriedly flew over, calling out as he approached:
"Lady Demon Emperor, please show mercy."
"My disciple has just come out from within the realm and did not recognize Your Excellency’s divine might; I beg you to spare his life."
Hearing the elder refer to "Lady Demon Emperor," the injured cultivator and several others around him immediately turned as pale as death, especially the cultivator who had stopped Lin Jing and Huang Qingling, his body shaking like chaff.
The Demon Emperor, how could he possibly not have heard of her?
Not to mention those from outside the realm, even within the realm, it was known that in the outer realm, there was an extremely fearsome Empress from the Demon Clan who single-handedly suppressed dozens of Mahayana cultivators.
Even when coming to this outer realm, the elders from the Sect had specifically cautioned not to provoke this terrifyingly powerful Demon Clan Empress.
He had thought that this Demon Clan Empress resided in the Demon Emperor City and would never encounter her, yet unexpectedly, she had come to the Land of Immortal Remnants.
Most crucially, he had just provoked this Empress.
Provoking the Demon Clan Empress, if she truly wished to kill him, even his own Sect could not save him.
In such a situation, how could he not be terrified?
After the elder’s arrival, he hurriedly said with a smile:
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
"I hope the Lady Demon Emperor will show mercy and spare the life of this junior. I shall not hold the younger generation accountable and thank Your Excellency in advance."
After severely injuring that Mahayana mid-phase cultivator with just one glance, Huang Qingling did not bother with him any further but turned to look at the elder:
"What now?"
"Do you still intend to prevent me from entering the Land of Immortal Remnants?"
Hearing this, the Mahayana peak elder hurriedly replied with a smile:
"Dare not, dare not..."
"Lady Demon Emperor gracing us with your presence, how can we dare to stop you."
"Lady Demon Emperor is free to enter the Land of Immortal Remnants anytime; we naturally will not obstruct you."
After saying this,
he signaled the other cultivators with a glance.
Those cultivators, originally guarding the entrance, also understood immediately, promptly moving away a good distance from the entrance to prove they had no intention of obstructing her.
Only after those people had moved away did the elder speak to Huang Qingling:
"Lady Demon Emperor, please enter..."
"Rest assured, my disciple has been rash and provoked Your Excellency; I will certainly reprimand him sternly later on."
Seeing this, Huang Qingling did not contend further but said to Lin Jing:
"Let’s go..."
With that, Huang Qingling led Lin Jing into the Land of Immortal Remnants.
...
At this time, within the Land of Immortal Remnants,
Elder Bai and the Elder of the Changyun Clan were desperately fleeing.
The location they had been using to hide had long been exposed, discovered by the people from the Cangyun and Jiulin Realms.
Normally, given their abilities, even if their location was revealed, it should not have been so quickly.
But just after Lin Jing left, the Sect Master of the Liuyue Dao Sect from the Cangyun Realm of the Xi Cang Continent arrived at the Land of Immortal Remnants.
This Sect Master from the Liuyue Dao Sect was different from others; the Pupil Skill he cultivated was passed down from the Ancient Era.
It seemed to have some connection with the Immortal Realm.
The Pupil Skill he practiced was incredibly consuming to use, and it also depleted his lifespan – although perhaps not by much.
But a cultivator’s lifespan is extremely important, and even though he was a Mahayana cultivator with a lifespan of twenty thousand years, he could not easily employ it.
Such a massively consuming Pupil Skill naturally had effects beyond ordinary ones.
With this Pupil Skill, he could see through all hiding formations and camouflages, even those ancient techniques of concealment passed down by ancient families; under this Pupil Skill, there would be nowhere to hide.
Because it was so draining to use, the Liuyue Dao Sect’s Sect Master seldom exercised this Pupil Skill.
But this time...
When he arrived at the Land of Immortal Remnants, he discovered that his junior brother, Qu Yuanhai, had been killed, and the Immortal Yuan had also been taken.
The Sect Master of the Liuyue Dao Sect was immediately enraged.
Though not born of the same parents, he and his junior brother had both entered the Sect together as children, growing up together until now.
Although not each other’s biological brothers, they were closer than if they had been.
Later on, the Sect Master from the Liuyue Dao Sect, through the residual battle qi left behind, identified that the one who killed his junior brother was none other than the two individuals from the Xuanqing Realm that they had been trying to capture.
Therefore...
The Sect Master of the Liuyue Dao Sect straightforwardly cast aside his concerns, sacrificed his lifespan, and used the Pupil Skill to locate Elder Bai and the Elder of the Changyun Clan.
Although Elder Bai and the Elder of the Changyun Clan tried their best to evade, it was to no avail, as the Land of Immortal Remnants was filled with people from the other two realms.
