A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 401

Chapter 401 Elder Zhou’s Fall

“Phew, younger sister, are you okay?”

After Elder Zhou collapsed, Wu Xianni finally let out a sigh of relief and turned to Wu Mowu, about to say something.

But not far away, Wu Mowu’s expression suddenly changed, and she immediately shouted,

“Watch out!”

The moment Wu Mowu’s words fell, Wu Xianni’s face shifted as he sensed a terrifying presence behind him.

However, as he turned, it was already too late to react. After all, the previous punch had drained all his strength. He was forced to take Elder Zhou’s blade head-on, and the force sent him flying harshly through the air.

Wu Mowu witnessed this with her own eyes, and in an instant, she was consumed by fury.

“No, you deserve to die!”

With that, Wu Mowu quickly formed hand seals and summoned the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Jar. Inside the jar, the Supreme Yang Spear that Wu Xianni had previously forged had been completely refined.

As Wu Mowu completed the hand seals, golden long spears shot out from the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Jar, each spewing an incredibly terrifying aura. After all, the spears had been greatly enhanced by the power of Wu Mowu’s Heaven-Swallowing Demon Jar.

Seeing this scene, Elder Zhou’s face changed drastically.

“This is bad!”

Without hesitation, Elder Zhou swung his great blade swiftly, trying to block all the incoming spears. But there were simply too many of them—no matter how fast Elder Zhou moved, some slipped past his defense.

Countless long spears raked through Elder Zhou’s body, severely wounding him. At that moment, Elder Zhou fell.

After slaying Elder Zhou, Wu Mowu didn’t even have time to retract the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Jar before rushing toward Wu Xianni.

When Wu Mowu arrived beside Wu Xianni, Qin Yuyan was already there, clutching him tightly and crying bitterly,

“Brother Immortal Rebellion, please don’t be hurt. I beg you, don’t die.”

As she spoke, Qin Yuyan poured her immortal energy into Wu Xianni’s body, trying to stabilize his injuries.

However, the power of Elder Zhou’s previous strike had been immense, wounding Wu Xianni at his core. If it weren’t for Wu Xianni’s strong foundation, any other Immortal Venerable in the late stage would have died from that single blow.

Even so, Wu Xianni’s condition remained grim, teetering on the edge of collapse.

Seeing Wu Xianni barely clinging to life, Wu Mowu quickly rushed to his side and spoke to Qin Yuyan with an urgent tone,

“Hand him over to me!”

When Qin Yuyan hesitated, Wu Mowu couldn’t help but shout angrily,

“Hurry, only if you give him to me now do we stand a chance to save him.”

Upon hearing this, although Qin Yuyan still had some doubts about whether Wu Mowu could actually save Wu Xianni, there was truly no better option now—if it were her, she wouldn’t be able to save her Brother Immortal Rebellion at all.

“If you lay a hand on Brother Immortal Rebellion, I swear I won’t forgive you,” Qin Yuyan said fiercely, then stepped aside.

Wu Mowu had no time to argue with Qin Yuyan and went straight to Wu Xianni, lifting him up and channeling her immortal energy into his body. While helping stabilize Wu Xianni’s injuries, she carefully monitored his condition.

But as she sensed the state inside Wu Xianni’s body, Wu Mowu’s expression darkened. In this condition, not even her peak self from her past life might be able to save him.

Elder Zhou’s earlier strike did more than just injure Wu Xianni’s body—it had inflicted terrifying damage on his Divine Soul as well. He was like a dying candle flickering in the wind, on the verge of fading away at any moment.

“Damn it, in this state, we have no choice but to take him home first and see if they have any way to save him.”

In this situation, Wu Mowu could only think to send her brother back home. After all, there were many stronger people there, and only they might be able to save him.

In her past life, she had already lost her brother. This time, she couldn’t afford to lose him again.

With that thought, Wu Mowu immediately lifted Wu Xianni and turned to Qin Yuyan, saying,

“I’m taking my brother home. Only at home can he be saved.”

“Mm, leave everything here to me,” Qin Yuyan replied solemnly. She naturally understood that the “home” Wu Mowu referred to was the Wu Family. Right now, only the Wu Family could save Brother Xianni.

Wu Mowu nodded, then briefed Lu Ziqi and Mo Yun with a few words, instructing that during her absence, the Devouring Demon Sect and the True Immortal Association should temporarily form an alliance and follow Qin Yuyan’s lead in all matters. After that, she hurried toward Penglai Immortal Island.

Only after Wu Mowu and Wu Xianni had left did Lu Ziqi and Mo Yun turn to Qin Yuyan, speaking calmly.

“Fellow Daoist, do you know what we should do next?”

Upon hearing this, Qin Yuyan’s expression turned grave as she responded,

“You must already know that the events from back then were orchestrated by the Limitless Sect and the Blood Cloud Sect, right? Now, both the Limitless Sect and the Blood Cloud Sect have sent out Early Immortal Emperor-level warriors to wipe us out.”

“Brother Xian Ni and the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor joined forces to slay the strong warriors from the Limitless Sect and the Blood Cloud Sect. But I’m afraid the next time those two factions send someone, it won’t be Early Immortal Emperors—they’ll both send their faction leaders together.”

“And besides Brother Xian Ni and the Demon Emperor, none of us are a match for those faction leaders. So our top priority now must be to hide. If those two factions capture us, we’ll likely be used as leverage to threaten Brother Xian Ni and the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor.”

“You wouldn’t want to become a burden to the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor, would you?”

After hearing Qin Yuyan’s words, Lu Ziqi and Mo Yun fell into thoughtful silence for a moment, then nodded their agreement.

Soon after, under Lu Ziqi and Mo Yun’s rallying call, the members of the Devouring Demon Sect assembled and then followed Qin Yuyan as she departed from this place.

Meanwhile, at the Limitless Sect—

The Limitless Immortal Emperor was calmly drinking tea, but in the next moment his expression darkened dramatically.

“What! Elder Zhou is in trouble?”

As the leader of the Limitless Sect, the Limitless Immortal Emperor could monitor the life and death status of most of the sect’s top fighters. So the moment Elder Zhou fell, the Limitless Immortal Emperor immediately sensed it.

He closed his eyes and, after roughly pinpointing the location of Elder Zhou’s demise, planned to investigate the cause. He was unwilling to believe that Elder Zhou had been slain by Qin Yuyan; he much preferred to think that Elder Zhou had been silenced by an enemy.

Just as the Limitless Immortal Emperor was about to set out, a message from Elder Zhou finally arrived. Upon opening and reading it, the Limitless Immortal Emperor’s expression changed drastically, filled with disbelief and shock.

He never expected that Immortal Emperor Chuyang and the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor were still alive. If they were indeed alive, given their personalities, this matter would likely be impossible to resolve peacefully.

Thinking this through, the Limitless Immortal Emperor’s face darkened as he looked toward the direction of the Blood Cloud Sect. After a moment of hesitation, he decided to set off in that direction.

This was no longer something he could handle alone; only by bringing the Blood Cloud Immortal Emperor into the effort could they ensure full security.
