Chapter 2722: Chapter 2722: Rescue

Fang Bai exchanged a few words through voice transmission with the Azure Dragon and learned that after arriving in the Immortal Realm, it received a legacy from the Dragon Emperor. Later, it was captured by the Ice River Empress and imprisoned here with the Starshine Chain, guarding the dungeon.

Fang Bai saw the Starshine Chain, black as ink and as thin as a finger, shimmering with starlight. He touched it and found it extremely strong and flexible. Probably only the top Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Realm could unravel it.

"I have some connection with Bingling Fairy, who is trapped in this dungeon. I’m planning to rescue her. Are you willing to come with me to the Emperor’s Palace?"

Fang Bai asked the Azure Dragon.

"Are you already an Emperor Realm expert?"

The Azure Dragon couldn’t discern Fang Bai’s cultivation level, realizing that he was stronger than itself, an expert of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, so Fang Bai must be a true Emperor Realm expert.

The Azure Dragon recalled when it and Fang Bai were of similar strength in the lower realm, and Fang Bai had taught it the secrets of the Immortal Technique, causing its cultivation level to progress rapidly until it ascended to the Immortal Realm.

After reaching the Immortal Realm, the Azure Dragon soon received a legacy from a Dragon Emperor, becoming a Quasi-Emperor Realm expert.

It thought its advancement was fast enough but didn’t expect Fang Bai, who had comparable strength back then, to become an Emperor Realm expert now.

However, helping it out of its predicament isn’t something an ordinary Emperor Realm expert can do. Whether Fang Bai can release it from the Starshine Chain’s restraint remains to be seen.

Fang Bai smiled, tacitly acknowledging his identity as an Emperor Realm expert.

"I’ve been trapped in this dungeon by the damned Ice River Empress for hundreds of years, always thinking about leaving. If you can get me out of this dungeon, I’ll follow you thereafter."

The Azure Dragon said eagerly.

Outside the dungeon, there are powerful formations. The Azure Dragon reasoned that no matter how Fang Bai managed it, getting past the Ice River Empress to come here already proved his strength.

"Very well then."

Fang Bai, seeing the Azure Dragon agree to join the Emperor’s Palace, thought that after being suppressed in the dungeon for hundreds of years, the Azure Dragon must have an unusually abundant reserve of immortal power in its Qi Sea. Once it’s rescued, it might not take long before it ascends to the Emperor Realm, adding another Immortal Emperor to the Emperor’s Palace.

"Let me first rescue Bingling Fairy, then I’ll take you out."

Fang Bai transmitted this to the Azure Dragon, then walked past the coil of the Azure Dragon, continuing forward.

In the center of the dungeon, an Immortal Trapping Array was set up. Within the array, a bed made of Immortal Stone stood. Sitting cross-legged on the stone bed was a female immortal.

The female immortal’s hair was disheveled, her expression haggard, eyes lifeless, her gaze empty, as if she had suffered greatly.

Years ago, after the Fiery Emperor and Bingling Fairy became immortals, the Fiery Emperor had brought her to meet the Palace Master, Fang Bai. At that time, Bingling Fairy was beautiful, radiant, but seeing her now in this state was unexpected.

Bingling Fairy, although the daughter of the Ice River Empress, was also the partner of the Fiery Emperor, making her practically a disciple of the Emperor’s Palace. Fang Bai couldn’t help but feel secretly angry seeing her tortured like this.

Though the Ice River Empress didn’t have the heart to kill her daughter, torturing her to this extent was worse than death.

"Iceflame... Iceflame... Is that you? How did you come here? How did your grandmother... let you in?"

When Fang Bai approached the dungeon, Bingling Fairy sensed his aura and immediately became excited, a spark returning to her eyes. Had she not been trapped by the formation, she might have leaped forward to embrace Fang Bai.

At this moment, Fang Bai had transformed into Iceflame Fairy, so much so that even Bingling Fairy couldn’t discern any flaw, proving Fang Bai’s transformation skill was superb.

Fang Bai knew that the Ice River Empress’s divine sense could easily detect the dungeon’s movements. Answering Bingling Fairy directly would attract the Ice River Empress, inevitably leading to a great battle, something Fang Bai wished to avoid.

He then used the Voice Transmission Technique to reveal his identity. Seeing Bingling Fairy’s eyes widen, her expression agitated, afraid she might say something untoward for the Ice River Immortal Emperor to hear, he quickly said, "I’ve already met your daughter, Iceflame Fairy. I took on her appearance to see you, intending to rescue you. Let me ask you, are you willing to leave the Ice River Palace with your daughter, or would you rather stay here? If willing to leave, just nod."

Bingling Fairy nodded without hesitation, though she couldn’t think of how Fang Bai would get her out of the dungeon without alerting the Ice River Empress.

Fang Bai smiled, sending another transmission, "The Azure Dragon guarding you is an old acquaintance of mine. When we leave later, I’ll bring it with us as well. For now, let me help you break free!"

At this point, Fang Bai noticed that the Ice River Empress’s divine sense hadn’t yet scanned over the dungeon, so he quickly picked up the Starshine Chain, lightly pinching it to break it.

Bingling Fairy knew how strong the Starshine Chain was; seeing Fang Bai break it effortlessly left her dumbfounded and incredulous, adding to her hope of being able to flee the Ice River Palace with Fang Bai.

Although she was related to the Ice River Empress as mother and daughter, her heart was filled with hatred after her immortal partner, the Fiery Emperor, was executed by the Ice River Empress, and she and her daughter trapped in the Ice River Palace.

Fang Bai’s promise to take her and her daughter away filled her with extreme joy; she couldn’t bear remaining in this place for another moment and had no wish to face her mother.

After breaking the Starshine Chain, Fang Bai immediately placed Bingling Fairy into the Five Elements Space Ring. Simultaneously, he used an illusion technique to transform an immortal stone into Bingling Fairy’s likeness, keeping the Starshine Chain wrapped around the "Bingling Fairy."

Fang Bai’s illusions were exceptionally high-level, even when the Ice River Empress’s divine sense scanned over, no abnormalities would be found.

"Azure Dragon, let’s go!"

After rescuing Bingling Fairy, Fang Bai circled back past the Azure Dragon, placing him into the Space Immortal Ring, then used the same illusion technique to replicate an Azure Dragon coiled around the stone pillar.

Having completed everything, he swiftly exited the dungeon, then tore through the void, escaping into the Endless Space.

"Hmm? An Emperor Realm expert appeared?"

When Fang Bai tore the void, a wisp of Emperor’s aura released was sensed by several top Immortal Emperors discussing matters in the Ice River Palace. Startled, they immediately flew out, looking towards the void just repaired by the laws of heaven and earth.

"Could it be him?"

The top Immortal Emperors exchanged glances, simultaneously thinking of the Wushuang War Emperor.

Because only the Wushuang War Emperor had the ability and courage to appear within the range of the Ice River Palace’s influence.

Yet the Ice River Empress and the other six top Immortal Emperors couldn’t comprehend what the Wushuang War Emperor intended, as he attacked no one within the Six Sects Alliance nor caused any commotion. Why would he come?

The Ice River Empress’s divine sense swept through the entire Ice River Emperor’s territory, trying to detect any anomaly. She couldn’t believe the Wushuang War Emperor would visit for no reason.
