Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 599: Emergency

Chapter 599: Emergency

That ghostly figure didn't seem to possess attacking capabilities.

After clearly seeing Wang Shouyi and the C Province Exorcist Division behind him, it immediately fled into the distance, flying toward the direction of Kunlun Immortal Palace.

Wang Shouyi immediately wanted to pursue.

But his strength was still far too lacking.

In less than two breaths, the ghostly figure had already become just a barely visible black dot.

"Damn it!" Wang Shouyi clenched his fist tightly.

Without a doubt, this was some kind of secret technique.

First burying a wisp of divine soul within this elder's body.

Since this remnant soul wanted to escape, that meant the main body of the remnant soul couldn't immediately obtain information.

The remnant soul had to return to Kunlun Immortal Palace to deliver it.

This Blood Blade...

An image of an old woman holding a bloodied blade surfaced in Wang Shouyi's mind.

He vaguely remembered that day.

Her Eminence brought him into a dimly lit underground passage.

That was the deepest place in Kunlun Immortal Palace, shrouded in heavy mist, emitting a decaying atmosphere. He originally thought there would be divine martial arts manuals or precious magical treasures here... but in reality, there were only densely packed coffins.

Her Eminence told him.

According to regulations.

She had to awaken some of Kunlun Immortal Palace's Supreme Elders during specific periods.

And once these Supreme Elders awakened, they would definitely be dissatisfied with her, whose cultivation level was somewhat weaker, ruling over them.

So Her Eminence could release them, but afterwards had to use formation arrays to seal them, delaying the time when they would be completely released.

He once asked Her Eminence, couldn't they just kill all these old coffins?

Her Eminence's answer was no.

No matter what, these old coffins were Kunlun Immortal Palace's accumulated strength. When Kunlun Immortal Palace faced disaster in the future, they would all be its protective force.

Great Thunder Temple's combat power actually surpassed Kunlun Immortal Palace's.

The reason they didn't dare move against Kunlun Immortal Palace was because they knew these old coffins still existed.

Her Eminence also couldn't delay the awakening time.

Wang Shouyi always felt there were entities behind Her Eminence that she feared and revered, forces she had to obey.

But those entities also seemed unable to completely influence Her Eminence.

They couldn't be omniscient about everything happening in Kunlun Immortal Palace.

That's why Her Eminence could exploit loopholes.

First complete the "awakening" command.

Then, to maintain her position, seal and suppress the "awakened ones."

Her Eminence planned to release them when her strength could suppress these Supreme Elders, at which point these Supreme Elders would become her faction. 𝐑ãƝÓ𝔟Ës̩

However, before that could happen.

Her Eminence was instead crippled by an unexpectedly appearing cultivator...

With Her Eminence crippled, the restrictions she placed on the formation arrays naturally disappeared.

All those old coffins that had been awakened escaped.

This fierce old woman carrying a bloodied blade was one of them!

It seemed that among those old coffins, the ultimate victor was this Blood Blade old woman.

That was very bad.

When he saw Her Eminence sealing this old woman back then, the hatred and fierce murderous aura emanating from the old woman's body told him the Blood Blade old woman wasn't someone to be trifled with.

"No time left, I need to take Her Eminence away from here."

Wang Shouyi murmured in a voice only he could hear.

Then he turned and walked toward the inside of the Exorcist Division.

The few remaining Ascenders from Kunlun Immortal Palace had been terrified speechless by the elder's sudden death, unable to speak for quite some time.

Only when they saw Wang Shouyi turning to leave did they, like a shivering flock of sheep finding their leader, finally react.

"Chief Wang, you must know where Her Eminence is, right? Only you and Her Eminence can save us now, you can't just stand by and watch us die!"

Someone cried out hoarsely.

"That Blood Blade old woman wants to wipe us all out, we barely escaped with our lives. If you and Her Eminence won't help us, we..."

Wang Shouyi's footsteps paused slightly, his voice icy.

"I told you, Her Eminence isn't here. All of you should disperse and seek your own fortunes."

"Chief Wang, you can't abandon us..."

"Yes, Chief Wang... if nothing else, just tell us where Her Eminence is!"

A group of Ascenders crowded forward.

But were pressed down by the realm pressure emanating from Wang Shouyi's body.

Wang Shouyi didn't look back, just said calmly to Zhao Ying: "Captain Zhao, I think you can absolutely use coercive measures against them."

Zhao Ying was momentarily stunned upon hearing this.

Thinking to herself, damn.

These were still Wang Shouyi's fellow sect members.

He really turned on them without hesitation.

But she immediately ordered the demon slayers to close the gates.

"Don't come any closer!"

Her tone was icy, right hand gripping Raikiri, left hand snapping her fingers.

Buzz—!

With a buzzing sound, densely packed Cangyun Realm version M4 muzzles aimed at these fleeing Kunlun Immortal Palace disciples from the Exorcist Division's walls.

At first these disciples didn't take these firearms seriously.

After all, they were cultivators.

Even injured, bullets couldn't possibly harm them.

They still tried to approach.

"Boom—!"

With a thunderous roar.

A five-meter diameter crater immediately appeared in front of the foremost Kunlun Immortal Palace disciple.

The stone slabs and soil in the crater had been liquefied by high temperatures, glowing with magma-like colors, emitting terrifying heat.

Everyone shuddered looking at that crater.

Immediately stumbling back several steps, faces pale, not daring to say a word.

"Leave, this is our final warning to you." Zhao Ying's gaze was indifferent, "If you're still at the Exorcist Division entrance in thirty seconds, we will treat you as enemies and open indiscriminate fire!"

...

Their hopes completely dashed by the Exorcist Division's cold gun muzzles and that terrifying crater.

The last trace of color drained from the faces of Kunlun Immortal Palace's surviving disciples.

Supporting each other, they staggered away from the Exorcist Division's gate that symbolized their last sanctuary.

"Pah! What damn chief! What fellowship between sect members!" One disciple spat viciously toward the Exorcist Division, face full of venom and despair, "Wang Shouyi that coward! He clearly knows Her Eminence's whereabouts but refuses to say!"

"He's afraid to die! Afraid of being purged by Blood Blade True One!" Another rasped, eyes flashing with insane hatred, "He sees us as burdens, as bait! Hiding in the Exorcist Division to save his own skin!"

Despair wrapped around everyone's hearts like cold vines.

They glanced back at the Exorcist Division building gradually disappearing from view.

Then looked toward Kunlun Immortal Palace's direction—their former holy land, now become the most terrifying hell.

"Go back... where can we even go back to?" A young disciple asked tearfully.

"Back to Kunlun!" The first disciple's eyes turned fierce, carrying a desperate madness, "Since Wang Shouyi shows no mercy, don't blame us for being disloyal! That Blood Blade old woman... no, Blood Blade True One wants Her Eminence and her faction! What are we? Just ants!"

"You mean...?" Someone seemed to guess his idea, voice trembling.

"Yes! We'll go pledge allegiance to Blood Blade True One!" The disciple gritted his teeth, "We'll tell her everything we saw here! Wang Shouyi is at the C Province Exorcist Division! And Her Eminence is most likely hidden here too, or hidden by them! If we report proactively, maybe... maybe we can buy ourselves a chance to survive!"

"But... but Chief Wang after all..."

"What chief! Her Eminence might already be crippled! What the hell is Wang Shouyi!" The disciple interrupted, eyes containing only survival instinct and ruthlessness, "This is our only way out! Do you want to end up like Elder Zhang, gone with a bang, soul and spirit destroyed, not even knowing how you died? Let's go! Back to Kunlun immediately! Bring the news to Blood Blade True One!"

Fear overwhelmed the last trace of hesitation.

These once lofty Kunlun disciples, now like homeless strays, fled in panic.

...

Inside the Exorcist Division, Wang Shouyi's face no longer showed the previous coldness, only gravity and urgency.

"Captain Zhao!" His voice was low, "The situation is worse than imagined."

Zhao Ying had just handled the situation at the entrance and was feeling unsettled. Seeing this, she immediately asked: "The owner of that remnant soul?"

"That's Kunlun Immortal Palace's Supreme Elder, Blood Blade True One!" Wang Shouyi stated firmly, eyes showing deep apprehension, "A thousand-year-old monster, ruthless and vindictive. Most crucially, she's at the 'Void Shattering realm'!"

"Void Shattering realm?" Zhao Ying wasn't entirely clear about this realm's significance, but Wang Shouyi's expression told her it was bad.

"Above Nascent Soul is Nascent Soul, above that is Unity, and after Unity comes Void Shattering!"

Wang Shouyi's tone was urgent.

"Both the senior and I are at Nascent Soul, three major realms apart from her. Before her, we're like ants!

That elder just now was instantly killed by a wisp of remnant soul consciousness she planted in advance!

A true Void Shattering realm expert has extremely vast divine sense coverage, heaven-reaching magical power, can preliminarily mobilize the power of heavenly laws, and can even perform short-distance spatial teleportation!

We've just exposed our location. Given her vicious nature and methods, she definitely won't let this go.

That wisp of remnant soul flew back to report. Her main body is likely already on the way here, or has already locked onto this location!"

Wang Shouyi took a deep breath, looking into Zhao Ying's eyes, speaking with utmost seriousness: "This place is no longer safe! Blood Blade True One's targets are me and Her Eminence, but given her personality, taking out her anger on the entire Exorcist Division is inevitable!

For everyone's lives, I recommend the C Province Exorcist Division immediately evacuate all personnel!

Evacuate everyone, the faster the better! Before her main body arrives!"

Zhao Ying was momentarily stunned.

She had already realized the seriousness of the situation.

An existence that could instantly kill Nascent Soul elders and crush across realms was absolutely not something the Exorcist Division's current strength could oppose!

"I understand!" Zhao Ying didn't hesitate at all, immediately standing up, "I'll go request instructions from Governor Chen immediately! Activate the highest level emergency plan!"

She spoke while rushing toward the entrance.

Wang Shouyi also nodded: "I'll go prepare too, need to take Her Eminence away from here."

Zhao Ying said no more, her figure rushing like wind toward the deep underground—Containment Area 0.

Chen Huaian was usually in Containment Area 0.

And had said in advance not to disturb him unless something extremely serious happened.

He was in closed-door cultivation.

The current situation could no longer be described as just emergency.

If the Blood Blade True One Wang Shouyi described came killing to the Exorcist Division, Governor Chen might not even be able to escape.

She quickly passed through layer after layer of identity verification, arriving before that heavy alloy door.

"Governor! The situation is critical! If we don't leave now, it'll be too late!"

Zhao Ying shouted into the intercom, voice anxious.

Simultaneously pressing her identity card and emergency access code against the recognition area.

However, complete silence came from inside.

That heavy door remained completely motionless, showing no signs of opening.

Even the access system's indicator lights maintained their standby green, as if completely unresponsive.

"Finished!" Zhao Ying's heart sank.

Governor Chen must have changed the access codes.

Now no one could enter Containment Area 0 unless Chen Huaian came out himself.

Or, she could only try to contact 'Strawberry Bear' and 'Shrimp King', maybe they could wake the Governor?

...

And just as Zhao Ying was racking her brains trying to contact Chen Huaian.

The person in question was still wandering freely in the Cangyun Realm.

Youdu City, night.

Chen Huaian, dressed entirely in black with a black face covering, ghost-like, slipped into a luxuriously decorated mansion.

...
