And at that moment.

In a world full of spring, teeming with life.

All those who disappeared in the Demon Realm were gathered here.

"Miss Xiaoqian, why are you here?" The speaker was Lin Heng, full of surprise and excitement.

Standing in front of him, dressed in white, was none other than Nie Xiaoqian!

"To rescue you, of course. I told you not to come here, but you wouldn’t listen. Now you’ve been beaten to this state, you deserve it!"

Nie Xiaoqian puffed her cheeks, blushing pink, her beautiful eyes showing both tenderness and annoyance.

Lin Heng’s current state was indeed miserable, half his body blasted away, and even the slight recovery of Immortal Power from consuming a Flat Peach had dissipated.

At this moment, not even a Quasi-Saint could...

Any Immortal King could probably crush Lin Heng.

And the Long-armed Ape nearby was no better off. If Princess Iron Fan hadn’t protected his Spiritual Sense with Quasi-Saint Power, he would have already scattered to the winds.

As for the four women, their internal energy had been almost entirely drained.

Their forms were illusory, feeling like their bodies could become paper-thin, and a gentle breeze might blow them away.

One could only say.

Each was more miserable than the last...

Of course, despite the dire state, Bai Suzhen, always gentle and polite, took the Cyan Snake’s hand, bowed, and thanked, "Miss Xiaoqian, thank you very much!"

Nie Xiaoqian sighed, pointed at Lin Heng, and rolled her eyes, "You should thank him. I really didn’t dare to come, but he wouldn’t listen."

"I told him this place was a dead end with little chance of surviving, but this little Daoist insisted on coming to rescue you. He couldn’t save on his own, and in the end, I had to clean up the mess."

She puffed her cheeks in anger.

Making Lin Heng blush with embarrassment, looking down guiltily.

Bai Suzhen and Cyan Snake couldn’t help but look at Lin Heng, eyes full of complex emotions.

"Daoist Lord, you mustn’t do this from now on. You bear great responsibility, and no matter what, you should prioritize your own safety..." Bai Suzhen said softly, her eyes like water.

"I..." Lin Heng hesitated, his gaze meeting Cyan Snake, who, unlike usual, softly said, "Don’t be foolish again in the future."

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded.

Their atmosphere was subtle, making the maiden Ling’Er curious.

The Long-armed Ape and Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts were constantly looking around.

"Where is this place?"

"Have we escaped the Outer Demon Land?"

The two looked puzzled.

Just a moment ago, everyone was still within the battlefield of Holy Soldiers in the Demon Realm, yet with a reach of a jade hand through the void, they appeared in a world where everything was like spring.

This was truly baffling.

And most importantly, by Lin Heng’s account, the person who rescued them from the battlefield was the Miss Xiaoqian in front of them.

But...

She’s only at the Profound Immortal Realm, not even a Celestial Immortal.

Such an ant-like existence could rescue everyone from the battlefield of Extreme Sacred Weapons; this was simply incredible...

"No, we’re still inside the painting." Nie Xiaoqian replied.

"Painting?"

The Long-armed Ape and Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts exchanged glances, not fully understanding her meaning.

Lin Heng explained, "Miss Xiaoqian possesses an Exotic Treasure, the Beauty Scroll, which can hide in the void and traverse mountains and rivers, even space.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, the Long-armed Ape and Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts were even more bewildered.

Then Bai Suzhen curiously asked Nie Xiaoqian, "By the way, Miss Xiaoqian, last time the space inside your scroll seemed to be mere dozens of miles wide. Why does it now feel like a whole new world?"

She was amazed.

Nie Xiaoqian’s scroll had become more expansive since arriving in the Upper Realm, even gaining space-traversing abilities.

That much Bai Suzhen knew.

But after a few years, the scroll world had grown to the point where its boundaries were unseen, which was astonishing.

"I don’t know what’s going on either." Nie Xiaoqian smiled helplessly, "Ever since entering this Outer Demon Land, the world inside the painting has been expanding, turning into this before a moment was even up."

"Really?"

The Long-armed Ape and Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts slightly frowned, each with eyes filled with wonder.

"Let’s not worry about this for now; getting out of this Outer Realm is what matters most." Lin Heng said.

They had rescued those who needed saving, staying here was far too dangerous.

However, Nie Xiaoqian shook her head helplessly, "We can’t."

"What?" Lin Heng wore a puzzled expression.

"Could it be... because of the Demon Ancestor’s Donghuang Bell?" The Long-armed Ape furrowed his brows.

"It shouldn’t have anything to do with that."

Nie Xiaoqian said, "Actually, ever since we left the Immortal Court, I’ve been following you all. When you entered the outer realm, I came in as well.

She pointed to the four women, "Seeing them on the altar, I was ready to pull them in, but as my scroll approached the altar, somehow it was fixed in place. Not only could it no longer perform space traversal, but I couldn’t get out either."

"So when you were being battered earlier, I could only watch."

"It wasn’t until the Black Banner and big bell collided that the scroll regained mobility, and I quickly pulled you in."

"But that’s all I can do; we still can’t leave the outer realm."

She wore a worried expression.

This often mutating scroll was causing her significant distress.

"Oh, right! After the altar incident began, the beauty on the scroll underwent some changes!" Suddenly, she recalled.

"What changes?"

Everyone was intrigued.

Nie Xiaoqian said, "The feet beneath her dress disappeared!"

As she spoke, she lifted her hand and summoned the Beauty Scroll into her palm.

As the scroll unfurled, a vivid image of a beauty emerged before everyone’s eyes.

In an instant, except for the maiden Ling’Er.

Everyone had wide eyes and gaping mouths, faces showing shock beyond measure.

"Hmm?"

"What are you doing?"

"Is it really that surprising?"

Confused, Nie Xiaoqian glanced at the scroll, then her pupils shrank dramatically, exclaiming:

"Why does she have a tail?"

"Wait, she looks familiar... "

Nie Xiaoqian’s eyes widened, as if trying hard to recall.

Meanwhile, the Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts was trembling, kneeling before the scroll.

Bai Suzhen, Cyan Snake, and maiden Ling’Er.

Instinctively knelt down as well.

"You... why are you doing this?" The four women’s sudden actions left Nie Xiaoqian bewildered.

But the next moment, she heard the Queen of Ten Thousand Beasts tremble, saying:

"This is... Lady Nuwa!"

What?!

This...

Is it Saint Lady Nuwa?

At this moment.

Nie Xiaoqian’s mind buzzed, and she was utterly stunned.
