Ryan Ling knew perfectly well that even if he was truly unbeatable right now, there was no way he could handle this many top experts. There were late-stage Void Immortals here, and even a True Immortal backing them up. With a lineup this strong, Ryan was absolutely outmatched!
"Still no word from Joanna Long?" Ryan asked, a trace of panic in his heart.
"N-no, still nothing!" Holly and the others looked pale, not knowing what was going on. It wasn’t just Joanna Long—even the entire Long Family seemed to have vanished.
"Could they really be refusing to help?" Ryan couldn’t help but wonder. Right now the initiative at the Xiao estate had been completely seized by outsiders; Celia Xiao was basically as good as dead, and he was surrounded by so many enemies. In this kind of situation, for a clan to decide whether to help him or not was obviously a big deal. There was definitely a chance the Long Family wouldn’t step in.
"Ryan, what do we do now?" Lily, April, and the others asked anxiously when they heard him say that.
"Forget all that for now—just get to Long territory first!" Ryan didn’t hesitate. He had no way out at this point. Even if the Long Family bailed halfway, he still had to drag the fight onto their turf. Staying alive was all that mattered right now.
"Got it!" The four little maids didn’t hesitate either, dashing after Ryan at full speed. They were already close to Long territory.
"Don’t let them cross into Long territory!" a late-stage Void Immortal expert screamed from behind. Instantly, several Void Immortals attacked, blasting wildly to block Ryan’s group from advancing.
"Hold on to each other—don’t get separated!" Holly shouted. Their strength was way too low; they couldn’t take much more of this.
"I can’t... I’m about to collapse!"
"Me too, I feel like my stomach is about to explode!"
"My leg is injured!"
...
Right now, under the furious sweep of these top-tier Void Immortals, aside from Holly, the other three—Lily, April, and Emma—were all wounded, and their injuries were clearly serious. The worst part was, with their strength, they couldn't possibly withstand the savage attacks of these Void Immortal great-perfection experts!
"Ryan, you need to go! We're afraid we'll drag you down, and if that happens, none of us will get out alive. Just leave us behind!" Holly made a snap decision and shouted, then dashed straight toward her sisters—clearly, even if she herself was fine, she wouldn't abandon them!
"Haha, four beauties just popped up! Aren't these Celia Xiao's maids? All top-tier cuties! Grab them, boys! Hahaha!" At this point, the four lolis were totally exposed, and a bunch of 'hungry wolves' were already eyeing them.
"Ryan, hurry up and go! Right now, only you can save Sister Celia. Run, don't let them catch you!"
"Yeah, don't worry about us! Otherwise, none of us will make it out. Just go!"
"Ryan, go! Go now!"
...
Hearing Holly say that, Lily, April, and Emma immediately started shouting too, clearly ready to give up their lives!
"Haha, that one's mine..." The Void Immortal experts already had their eyes shining with greed.
Even though the four sisters were ready to sacrifice themselves, their eyes still showed deep reluctance to part with Ryan. But now that things had reached this point, there was nothing they could do.
"Screw this, I'm fighting you all to the end!" Ryan was never the kind of guy who'd ditch his girls just to save himself!
He charged out, scooping Holly and the other three into his arms.
"Ryan..." Holly was both moved and a little frustrated.
"Don't say anything. I'm not leaving you behind. Even if we die today, we'll die together!" Ryan said, and the four lolis just nodded through tears.
"Damn, you little punk! Even now you're trying to play hero and save the beauties? I'm gonna skin you alive today!" Instantly, a powerful Void Immortal great-perfection expert charged over, unleashing a fierce blast of Void Immortal power at Ryan.
"You think I'm actually scared of you?" Ryan didn't dodge at all. That Void Immortal was crazy strong, but Ryan wasn't helpless. He instantly gathered all his strength and blasted out a counterattack!
The whole world around them seemed to shake from the impact.
A deafening boom echoed out, and the attacking Void Immortal expert was sent flying, coughing up a mouthful of blood!
"No way... How is this possible?" All the Void Immortal great-perfection experts around were stunned. Ryan was just a newly advanced Human Immortal from some backwater realm—totally insignificant in the Immortal Domain. Yet he'd wiped out so many Void Immortals, and now he was actually able to repel a peak Void Immortal head-on. It was completely unbelievable.
"Run now!" While the enemies hesitated, Ryan grabbed the chance and led the four lolis, sprinting for Long Family territory. He knew that move just now was his strongest trick—he'd tapped into Primeval Heavenwood's immortal qi. Without that, his Human Immortal power alone couldn't do it!
So, without any hesitation, he bolted toward the Long Family lands with the girls!
Only if they made it to the Long Family safely would there be even a sliver of hope!
"Run, hurry!" Holly and the others didn't hesitate—they dashed after Ryan. This was their one shot; only by breaking through could they survive!
But just as the five of them were about to cross into Long territory—Ryan could practically smell the dragon breath—a golden light flashed overhead, and an overwhelming force crashed down from above.

In an instant, Ryan felt like his whole body was being electrocuted, the pain was off the charts!
"Wha—?" Ryan's heart trembled. He knew exactly what this was—True Immortal power!
Ryan was a Human Immortal. Sure, he could wipe Void Immortals, but if he tried to take on a True Immortal, that was just impossible!
And this True Immortal wasn't holding back at all—instantly, all the surrounding space was locked down. The five of them were just one step from Long territory!
"Trying to run? With this many people hunting, if we can't kill one measly Human Immortal, we all deserve to die!" A cold voice echoed overhead, the pressure of True Immortal power flooding out.
Holly and the other four coughed up blood over and over!
Even Ryan felt his head splitting, almost ready to pass out!
True Immortal power was just way too strong—totally out of his league. Ryan gritted his teeth, unsure if he could even hold on!
And in this situation, Joanna Long still hadn't responded!
He was basically backed into a dead end!
"Ryan, it's our fault—we're dragging you down. You could've escaped on your own!" Holly and the others said, full of regret.
"Enough! No more whining. Life and death together—if we're dying here, at least let's not go out like cowards!" Ryan gritted his teeth. He was no pushover; killing him wouldn't be easy. And if they really pushed him, he'd self-destruct and take a bunch of them down with him. Even if he couldn't blow up the True Immortal, he'd wipe out all those Void Immortals for sure!
"What are you Void Immortals standing around for? Surround him! Damn it, just kill him already!" The True Immortal was getting annoyed—having to use his own power to deal with a Human Immortal was downright embarrassing!
"Got it!" At least ten Void Immortal great-perfection experts closed in...
