“Although the journey is long and arduous, we are finally about to reach our goal for this stage.”

In the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, Su Jingzhen’s consciousness gazed at Little Green’s seventh leaf, unable to suppress a sigh of admiration. At the same time, he felt an indomitable sense of determination.

Looking around, he had already collected about a third of the treasures from the ruins of Divine Capital.

Most of them were still near where Bai Suzhen and the others were fighting.

He felt a bit conflicted. At his current strength, even with full defenses and the support of Hei Shuang and Xuan Ming, if he got too close, he would probably become a burden to Bai Suzhen.

If the ancient demon king decided to target him, Bai Suzhen might have a hard time protecting him.

“Regardless, with only ten more treasures, it should be able to reach the mature stage. Then, with the power of the Fire Dragon and Ice Phoenix, I don’t have to be so afraid.”

Most of the time, Su Jingzhen was cautious, always wary of putting himself in danger.

But after witnessing everything in Divine Kingdom, he understood that the Divine Kingdom was essentially a hunting ground.

They were the prey, and the ancient demon king and others were the hunters. If they didn’t eliminate the hunters, they would always be in danger. Therefore, the current risk was justified.

Without any hesitation, he pushed the Netherworld Ghost Technique to its limit, leaving behind seven residual images.

This speed left Yan Xia and the others in awe, unable to catch up.

He covered several dozen meters with each step.

After picking up fifty-six more treasures containing Dao patterns that Little Green had successfully absorbed, Su Jingzhen noticed that Bai Suzhen’s thousand-foot figure suddenly shrank to a hundred feet.

Then she quickly descended towards him.

Dao patterns enveloped Su Jingzhen, and in an instant, they were back inside the protective circle they had created earlier.

Su Jingzhen’s face showed a hint of confusion. Then he saw Bai Suzhen’s Dao patterns disperse again, strengthening the protective circle.

Without any explanation, her sapphire eyes showed a serious expression. A huge ball of energy formed on her head and she threw it directly behind them.

Yan Xia and the others saw the void behind them suddenly distort, revealing Divine City’s protective barrier.

The entrance they had used to enter was still slowly spinning like a vortex.

“Everyone, get out!”

Bai Suzhen spoke in a human voice, and under her overwhelming pressure, her words were law.

After a moment of stunned silence, the crowd wasted no time, their faces showing signs of panic. They all headed toward the vortex passage.

They were well aware that Bai Suzhen’s words indicated that nothing could be done in the Divine Capital today. A shadow of death loomed over most of their hearts.

“Suzhen, what exactly is going on?”

As he watched everyone leave the Divine Capital, the weight on Su Jingzhen’s heart lifted, but he couldn’t help but voice his lingering doubts.

Hadn’t they already discussed a plan with Bai Suzhen?

She was supposed to hold on for the duration of an incense stick so that he could summon the Fire Dragon and Ice Phoenix.

The sudden change of events had completely disrupted his expectations.

“The situation has suddenly escalated.

That guy seems to have completed some level of fusion. Not only are the defenses there stronger, but the strange power permeating the void has also become more formidable.

If we don’t send them away quickly, this protective barrier won’t be able to protect them.

They will end up going to the palace to sacrifice themselves.”

Bai Suzhen’s tone was serious.

Before Su Jingzhen could respond, she continued, “Leave the Divine Capital. Once I absorb the Pearl of the Four Symbols, there may still be a chance.

But we have to make sure that no one from the outside comes in here. He needs a considerable amount of energy to fully recover to his peak, and most importantly, he needs the vital energy of living beings!

Without a large supply of vital energy for him to absorb, his progress to the final level will be incredibly slow. He has already absorbed several hundred people, which has helped him a lot.”

Bai Suzhen’s explanation was clear, and Su Jingzhen understood.

They couldn’t break through the enemy’s defenses in a short time, and their presence here would only be a burden.

If they stayed, the balance of power would eventually tip completely in favor of the ancient demon king.

The departure offered a glimmer of hope. Despite the reluctance in his heart, Su Jingzhen turned to Yan Xia and the others and said, “Let’s go!”

Once the decision was made, there was no hesitation.

Under Bai Suzhen’s protection, they immediately left through the passage.

They could sense the powerful energy within the vortex passage, which seemed to be trying to close the passage and prevent their escape.

But with Bai Suzhen there, she was able to forcefully keep it open.

The next moment, they were back outside the Divine Capital.

The crowd outside had grown even larger since their last visit.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the group, the Unity Realm cultivators from various major forces all wore puzzled expressions.

Bai Suzhen had already transformed back into her small snake form, and was coiled around his right arm.

Of course, Su Jingzhen and the others were well aware that once those people from the Divine Capital came out, it would be impossible to hide Bai Suzhen’s existence.

At this moment, he had already noticed that many people were looking at him with a somewhat evasive gaze, their eyes filled with caution.

It was clear that what had happened inside had already spread.

After all, the thousands of people from the Divine Capital included most of the major powers.

Ji Tiansi and the other members of the Ji Clan once again approached Su Jingzhen.

The way Ji Tiansi and the others looked at Su Jingzhen had changed, now containing more wariness in addition to their respect.

Even those behind Ji Tiansi, the other members of the Ji clan, had become even more convinced of his previous decision.

Ji Tiansi did not inquire about the situation in the Divine Capital.

Instead, he respectfully said, “Daoist Su, regarding the matter of Clear Light Ridge, I have already sent people to deal with it. They should return in about two hours. What are your plans? The Ji Clan will continue to give you our full support.”

Ji Tiansi reiterated his stance.

Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen nodded and immediately said to him, “Your support is indeed needed. With the strength of the Ji Clan, gather all the forces near the Divine Capital – remember, all the forces, not a single one can be left out, not a single person can be missing. Bring them all here.”

You already know what happened in the Divine Capital and the power I have now.

Tell them that I, Su Jingzhen, will personally visit those who refuse to come. But they must consider whether they can bear the consequences.”

As he spoke, Su Jingzhen’s tone carried an unprecedented aura of authority.

With Bai Suzhen already exposed, he no longer wanted to pretend in this Divine Kingdom.

He wanted to put everything on the table and make it clear that from now on, everyone in the Divine Kingdom would have to follow his orders.

This was the only way for everyone in the Divine Kingdom to survive.
