Chapter 29

Ximen Wudi snorted, none too pleased.

"You're going to be this eager?"

His little scheme was seen through.

Li Taibai laughed awkwardly.

Knowing he couldn't hide it from him.

He could only confess honestly.

"Uh... ahem, ahem, ahem... word has come that before long, Mount Wudang is going to be quite lively."

With things said to this point, how could Ximen Wudi still not understand his thoughts?

He shot him a thoroughly exasperated sideways glance.

A wave of grumbling rose in his heart.

Good grief.

Are you really going there to handle business?

I can't even bear to call you out on it!

You're clearly going there to show off in front of everyone!

Of course.

Grumbling aside.

Since he was willing to step forward on his own, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

He nodded and reminded him.

"It's not that you can't go."

"I don't care what you end up doing there either, but there's just one thing you must remember."

"Complete the mission!"

"Otherwise, I think you know the consequences."

He agreed just like that?

Li Taibai's face went blank.

So.

All those carefully prepared words I worked out before coming here were wasted?

He stared blankly as he watched him lead Jiang Yuyan down off the rooftop.

Deep down, something always felt off.

But no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out where the problem lay.

Obviously.

This night was destined to leave someone sleepless!

…………

The Great Sui, Yinkui Sect.

"I never expected the Evil Emperor to still be alive, and to have broken through to the Heavenly Being Realm!"

"It seems our Shengmen is about to rise!"

After reading through every bit of content on the Heavenly Dao Golden List.

A sharp glint flashed in Zhu Yuyan's eyes.

She muttered, her expression rather delighted.

Beside her, Wan Wan, barefoot, had a slightly hesitant little face.

"Master, this fellow's being scared into qi deviation has already been exposed by the Heavenly Dao Golden List. If we let him lead the Demonic Sect, won't we become a laughingstock of the Nine Provinces' jianghu?"

As she spoke.

A trace of curiosity inevitably flashed through Wan Wan's cunning eyes.

Or rather.

It wasn't only her.

At this moment.

Among everyone who had seen the contents of the Heavenly Dao Golden List, very few were not curious about Ximen Wudi.

They all very much wanted to see for themselves.

What kind of being could scare a powerhouse at the peak realm of a Land Immortal into qi deviation!

Hearing this explanation, Zhu Yuyan fell silent for a moment.

Then she answered lightly, explaining.

"As a disciple of our Shengmen, you should understand the rules within our Shengmen."

"And since he styles himself the Evil Emperor, do you think he'd be an easy mark?"

"As for being scared into qi deviation by that person, the Heavenly Dao Golden List wouldn't speak without cause, but it also didn't go into much detail."

"Perhaps there are still some secrets we don't know about."

"As for being laughed at—as long as the Evil Emperor is willing to lead Shengmen, who would dare laugh?"

Hearing this explanation.

The slight furrow between Wan Wan's brows smoothed out.

Clearly, she had accepted this reasoning.

At the same time.

Countless Demonic Sect disciples, upon receiving such news, were overjoyed one and all.

Awaiting the arrival of the Evil Emperor.

…………

Emperor-Treading Peak, Pudu Cihang Jingzhai.

Compared with Monk Huanxi of the Zuoweimo Sect.

At this moment, however, the Pudu Cihang Palace was shrouded in gloom.

As the mortal enemy of the Weimo Sect.

They certainly did not wish to see the Yumo Sect grow stronger.

However.

Now the Heavenly Dao Golden List had revealed a Venerable Heavenly Being Realm Evil Emperor.

To them, this was naturally a major threat!

Fan Qinghui was seen with a composed expression, her gaze solemn as she began to speak.

"An Evil Emperor has appeared in the Yumo Sect, and moreover, a Heavenly Being Realm powerhouse!"

"For our Pudu Cihang Jingzhai, this will be a sword hanging over our heads."

"Who knows when this sword might fall."

"Therefore, to prevent such a thing from happening, does anyone have any thoughts? Please speak freely."

A chill ran through the hearts of all present.

They understood the gravity of the matter.

One after another, they lowered their heads in thought.

At this moment.

Cheng Shifei, clad in white, spoke up at the opportune moment.

"This matter concerns not only our Pudu Cihang Jingzhai, but the entire righteous path of the Great Sui!"

"Why don't we invite a few seniors from Jingnian Chan Monastery to come and deliberate with us?"

These words reminded Fan Qinghui.

A glint of sharpness flashed in her eyes.

She turned and instructed the others.

"Since that is the case, Feixuan, you go invite Master Liaokong of Jingnian Chan Monastery."

"Junior Sister, you go deliver a message to Ning Daoqi, and be sure to invite him over."

"As for me, I'll throw aside this old face of mine and make a trip to Lingnan!"

Cheng Shifei and Yan Jing'an heard this.

They nodded solemnly.
