Then, one after another, voices of resentment and hatred shot toward the sky.
"Heavenly Physician!"
"Heavenly Physician!"
"Heavenly Physician!"
The screams were endless, filled with such despair and hatred that even Li Fan, standing outside Cloudwater Palace, felt a chill run down his spine.
The cries of despair echoed through every part of Cloudwater Palace, causing the entire massive structure to shake and tremble incessantly.
The white mist that had enveloped the buildings now churned like boiling water, as if the tormented beings trapped for thousands of years were about to break free.
High above Cloudwater Palace, before Fuzi’s gigantic form, a small white jade figurine suddenly materialized.
With its appearance, the Oddities within Cloudwater Palace erupted into complete chaos.
Angry and desperate shouts surged like an unending river. Cracks were strewn across the ground, and the entire Cloudwater Palace seemed on the verge of shattering under the abnormal disturbances.
The white jade figurine glowed faintly, then transformed to the size of an ordinary person.
His face was kindly, and his hair was greying—it was the mysterious old man who had once met his avatar Lin Fan.
Ignoring the tide of roars from below, the Heavenly Physician smiled slightly. "Everyone, long time no see."
Fuzi’s towering form trembled violently, and his face contorted with hatred. He gritted his teeth, wanting to say something, but in the end, only one word burst forth.
"Die!"
The sky seemed to darken, as though endless killing intent was gathering.
Fine cracks instantly appeared across the Heavenly Physician’s body. But he simply patted himself lightly, and those fine cracks vanished in an instant.
The Heavenly Physician smiled faintly at Fuzi. "Must you be so angry over a mere fight?"
His smile vanished abruptly, replaced by an expression of utter frost. "Being easily provoked to anger is an illness. And illness... requires treatment."
Outside Cloudwater Palace, Li Fan's expression shifted. He instantly activated every defensive talisman on his person. Then he pushed his speed to the absolute limit, fleeing backward at maximum velocity.
A shockwave erupted from Cloudwater Palace.
In that instant, it swept across the entire Congyun Sea, spreading toward the surrounding provinces with unabated momentum.
At that moment, the entire cultivation world became aware of the events unfolding in Congyun Sea.
Several immense consciousnesses seemed to exchange thoughts briefly.
Then, one by one, they fell silent.
