Shui Wuya's voice rang in Qian Daoliu's ears, breaking through his despair.

Qian Daoliu's eyes brightened, a glimmer of hope rising from his heart, but at the same time, he felt confusion and anxiety.

How did this Elder of the Eternal Life Sect know that Xiao Xue was still alive?

"Elder, could it be that you know where my Xiao Xue is?"

"If you do, please tell me!"

Qian Daoliu asked urgently.

Shui Wuya, however, remained indifferent and simply replied, "Why should I tell you?"

Why should he?

Hearing this, a surge of anger welled up in Qian Daoliu's heart.

That was his granddaughter!

But he also understood that he currently had no power to oppose Shui Wuya.

At this moment, Shui Wuya turned to Shui Bing'er beside him.

"Tang Chen has been dealt with. Let's return to report."

"By the way, before we go back to the sect, let's take care of that extra girl as well, so we won't have to come out again later."

Shui Wuya's tone was cold, as if discussing a trivial matter.

Yet, these words struck Qian Daoliu to the core!

Xiao Xue had already qualified for the divine test.

The "extra girl" Shui Wuya mentioned, wasn't that his Xiao Xue?

Qian Daoliu was momentarily stunned.

Suddenly, he realized.

No wonder this Elder of the Eternal Life Sect knew so much about his granddaughter.

It turned out her abduction had nothing to do with Tang Chen.

He was the mastermind Qian Daoliu had been searching for!

Qian Daoliu's eyes filled with anger and unwillingness as he glared at Shui Wuya.

"What did you say?

The girl you mentioned, is it Qian Renxue?"

Shui Wuya cast a cold glance at Qian Daoliu, not answering, as if he couldn't be bothered to waste words.

Qian Daoliu, furious, gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart.

Though worried about his granddaughter's safety, he knew he had to remain calm when dealing with such a powerful being.

"Elder of the Eternal Life Sect..."

Qian Daoliu swallowed his anger and spoke respectfully, "Xiao Xue is my granddaughter, and she always listens to me.

I can persuade her not to become a god. Please, show mercy and spare her.

She is just a child, playing around.

The Spirit Hall has no intention of opposing your sect!"

His words were filled with humiliation and helplessness.

But he knew that with his granddaughter in Shui Wuya's hands, only humility could protect her.

However.

Shui Wuya remained silent, coldly watching Qian Daoliu, as if such pleas were nothing new to him.

Qian Daoliu couldn't hold back anymore, anger burning within him. He gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me! Is my granddaughter with you or not?

What are you going to do with her?"

Shui Wuya responded calmly, "Not much, just want to ask if she is willing to sincerely join the Eternal Life Sect.

If she refuses, to maintain the balance of the world, we'll have to eliminate her.

Just like Tang Chen."

"Just like Tang Chen!"

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu's face turned pale with fear.

He instantly became timid again.

He hurriedly assured, "No, no!"

"Elder, I, Qian Daoliu, swear to the heavens, I will persuade my granddaughter to join the Eternal Life Sect!

Let's talk this out, please don't harm my precious granddaughter."

Shui Wuya's voice interrupted Qian Daoliu's plea: "Your promise is worthless. It's not you becoming a god; it's Qian Renxue."

These words left Qian Daoliu speechless.

Indeed, it wasn't him becoming a god. It was Xiao Xue.

But he knew his granddaughter's temperament all too well.

Ignoring Qian Daoliu's anxious expression, Shui Wuya and Shui Bing'er prepared to leave.

Seeing them about to go, Qian Daoliu grew even more desperate.

"Please wait, elders!"

In this critical moment, he hurriedly took out an exquisite jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to Shui Wuya.

"Esteemed elder, please, no matter what, give this jade pendant to my granddaughter, Qian Renxue."

"Tell her that her grandfather urges her to agree to join the Eternal Life Sect."

"She will surely consider it carefully."

Qian Daoliu's tone was urgent and pleading, hoping Shui Wuya would help.

Shui Wuya didn't respond immediately. He took the jade pendant, pondered for a moment, and then nodded.

He indicated that he would pass along the message.

Then, he and Shui Bing'er turned and left.

Qian Daoliu watched them leave with anxiety, feeling helpless and worried.

He immediately tried to follow Shui Wuya and Shui Bing'er, hoping they would lead him to his granddaughter's hiding place so he could rescue her.

However, just as he was diligently tracking them, he suddenly realized Shui Wuya and Shui Bing'er had vanished without a trace, as if they had disappeared like a gust of wind.

Qian Daoliu had no choice but to stop.

"Xiao Xue, you must find a way to survive."

He silently prayed that his granddaughter would understand the situation and prioritize the bigger picture.

Otherwise, even he wouldn't be able to save her.

Shui Wuya took Shui Bing'er to a secluded place.

It was a valley surrounded by dense forests, appearing very safe.

Shui Wuya took out the Ice God Mirror.

He gently wiped the dust from the mirror's surface, then closed his eyes, concentrating.

A mysterious power emerged, and the Ice God Mirror in his hand emitted a soft light, gradually forming a radiant ice and snow halo that enveloped Shui Wuya and Shui Bing'er.

"System, time travel."

Shui Wuya murmured.

The scenery within the halo began to change rapidly; the surrounding trees and rocks seemed to vanish in the blink of an eye, replaced by an ancient, elegant room.

In an instant, Shui Wuya and Shui Bing'er found themselves in the Shui family residence thousands of years into the future.

With a thought, Shui Wuya activated the Ice God Mirror, projecting the current scene within the Divine Realm.

Inside the divine palace, Tang San sat alone.

Tang Chen and Tang Hao seemed as if they had never existed.

Shui Wuya nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand.

Immediately, the scene shifted to another part of the Divine Realm.

Here, mountains towered and clear waters flowed, the sky glittering with radiant light.

Shui Bing'er gazed at the scenes in the Ice God Mirror, filled with longing.

Next, she saw herself in the Divine Realm.

In the mirror, she wore a pure white gown that fluttered in the wind.

Her eyes were clear as water, with a hint of a crystalline glow, as if embedded with stars, revealing a deep and mysterious allure.

In the Divine Realm, Shui Bing'er exuded an unparalleled aura of majesty and grandeur.

A soft blue glow surrounded her, like a sacred shield, emanating a holy and enigmatic aura.
