Chapter 557

What is it? Could you still be dwelling on the massacre of your Guan clan?

Fubai Han approached the kneeling pale‑faced man, lifted his chin with her hand, and looked down at him from above.

Our sect has long declared that all worldly things are shackles binding oneself; as long as you serve our sect well here, we will ensure your cultivation rises straight to the heavens.

The pale‑faced man is none other than Guan Yun, the elder ancestor of the Guan family; news from Yunque Immortal City has already arrived.

Our Guan immortal clan was exterminated by the Feng family, and their methods were extremely vicious.

Not even chickens or dogs were spared; the spirit earthworms I raised were split in half vertically, the immortal mosquitoes and pests were brutally attacked, and I heard even passing dogs got a beating!!!

This is simply unbearable—what could be more intolerable?

Who could swallow this anger? Who!

Sect Master, you don't know that I simply cannot swallow this anger—not just for my Guan immortal clan.

But the Feng family's patriarch, who thinks himself high and mighty, actually dared to proclaim in front of countless cultivators: "What is our Starry Immortal Sect even worth?"

Moreover, the Feng family's ancestor doesn't even regard our Starry Immortal Sect in his eyes, Sect Master, please see clearly!

Guan Yun's face was full of indignation, like a young bride who had suffered a great injustice, his eyes nearly brimming with tears.

Life is like a play, all about acting—this saying is exemplified here to the fullest.

Who would have thought that, just as Guan Yun finished speaking, Fu Baihan stepped on him with one foot, driving him to the ground, her white foot repeatedly trampling his face.

After all this talk, it's still just about seeking revenge for your family, right? Or do you still want to use our sect?

Mmm… mmm… subordinate dares not! Guan Yun mumbled, then stuck out his tongue and licked eagerly—this is one of his ways of apologizing.

Hmm… what a well‑behaved young lover; even our sect can't bear to blame you.

Fu Baihan said, pulling back her foot and switching to the other: "However, the Feng family is indeed excessively arrogant, daring not to regard our Starry Immortal Sect at all."

Upon hearing this, Guan Yun's eyes lit up; sensing an opportunity, he immediately redoubled his efforts.

Outside rumors claim the Feng family's ancestor joined the Qingyun sect, but that's mere hearsay; even if he truly were an outer elder of Qingyun, would they really go to war with our sect over just one outer elder?

Fu Baihan has considered many things; as the deputy sect master in a high position, she is no fool and would not harm the sect's interests for the sake of a pretty face.

This time, the Feng family of Yunque openly provoked the prestige of our Starry Immortal Sect; if the sect does not respond forcefully, how will we establish authority in the future?

Moreover, the sect master has already gone with the masters of the other three sects to visit the Piaomiao Immortal Palace to see that possibly returning senior; once successful, there will be even less need to fear Qingyun.

This matter, I will report it to the sect master.

As for when to punish the Feng family, that will depend on how long you, little hidden hidden, can endure.

Immediately afterward, a low voice sounded again within the immortal cave.

In the Nine Heavens Dao Region, at the border between the Ziling Immortal Prefecture and the Haoyue Immortal Prefecture, several powerful figures descended.

Their appearance was exactly those few who had discussed the Seven Tribulations Immortal Emperor and the Qingyun Immortal Sect atop the firmament that day.

Everyone, the Piaomiao Immortal Palace lies ahead; to show sincerity, we should proceed on foot. A man wearing splendid purple‑cloud robes, with features as deeply carved as a knife's edge, stopped and spoke.

The white‑haired, childlike‑faced elder beside him nodded: "Indeed, the Starry Immortal Sect's ancestor makes sense; let's go on foot." Hahaha, he said, "I haven't taken such a leisurely walk on foot for sixty‑seven million years."

Alas, is this not forced by pressure? People say that reaching the Divine Sovereign realm allows one to let go of everything and discard all worries, yet they fail to realize that greater power brings greater worries—this is merely a beautiful fantasy clung to by those still at the bottom.

Hmm, the Primordial Ancestor does see things quite clearly, but instead of spouting useless talk, we should better consider what to do if our hypotheses are wrong.

By then, the only recourse may be to comply with the demands of that being beyond the heavens.

The four walked and talked, soon arriving at the summit of an immortal peak.

The man in the purple‑cloud robe addressed the clouds: "I am the ancestor of the Starry Immortal Sect, accompanied by the ancestors of the Primordial Immortal Palace, the Qingfei Immortal Alliance, and the Xuanming Deceptive Sect; we have come uninvited to discuss an important matter."

Inside the Piaomiao Immortal Palace, in the Piaomiao Immortal Hall.

The ancestors of the four transcendent powers of Ziling Immortal Prefecture? Why have they come to my Piaomiao Immortal Palace? Upon hearing the subordinate's report, Palace Master Liu Qingcheng frowned in doubt: "You may withdraw first."

Yes, Palace Master, the maid replied, clasping her hands before disappearing into the hall.

Ah Jie, do you think they've come for you? Liu Qingcheng looked at Ye Jie beside her: "These four forces rose after your fall, in the next era; my Piaomiao Immortal Palace has never concerned itself with worldly affairs, and we've had no dealings with them."

Then this is the only possibility: not long ago you released a burst of aura at the Edge of Fate, and those divine sovereigns dwelling in the Ziling Dao Region would certainly sense it.

Moreover, given the recent abnormal actions of my Piaomiao Immortal Palace and the Supreme Immortal Sect of Little Bean, they boldly speculated a bit and then came straight to our door to investigate.

Beside her, Ye Jie in white robes nodded; Liu Qingcheng's analysis made sense.

Also, lately I've been getting occasional headaches, as if I've forgotten something—could it be a memory from a past life?

No way—who could tamper with one's own memories except oneself?

Master, if that's the case, should we still let them in? I feel these old fogeys surely aren't up to anything good, especially the ancestor of the Xuanming Deceptive Sect—I've had some history with him before.

The Supreme Divine Sovereign below furrowed his brows slightly, saying that the old immortal of the Xuanming Deceptive Sect had previously taken a liking to a female elder of our own Supreme Immortal Sect.

Well… it's not about romantic matters; that female elder's constitution is special, making her highly suited to cultivate the Xuanming Deceptive Sect's arts, but after doing so she would become a soulless fiend.

Upon learning this, I directly threw the visiting Xuanming ancestor out with force.

But that was a long, long time ago.

Let them come in; for now, as your master, I'll stay hidden and first see what they're really up to.

When things deviate from the norm, there must be demonry; thinking this, Ye Jie added: "Qingcheng, Little Bean, you two will later follow my orders."

Soon after, the ancestor of the Starry Immortal Sect and the elders of the other three great sects entered the hall one after another.

What met the eyes was the supremely cold and beautiful ethereal palace master seated in the chief position, and the Tai Shang Shen Zhu with immortal aura and daoist bone on one side of the hall.

ps: Tomorrow will continue with stable updates, thanks to all the big shots who keep up with the updates.
