The middle-aged cultivator swallowed nervously. Not only he, but all the disciples of the Heavenly Seal Sect present also gulped in apprehension. With a Golden Core powerhouse right in front of them, they dared not point fingers or accuse him of being an unscrupulously evil demonic cultivator. After all, it would be effortless for such a being to obliterate everyone in the Flying Mountain Hall.
"Why are you not moving? Do you want me to kill a few to prove myself?" Wan Wuying's voice carried a menacing humor.
The middle-aged cultivator, as if his tail were on fire, quickly pulled out a long-distance transmission jade. "J-Just a moment, please! I'll inform my master right away!"
Ordinary transmission jades had limited range, but a long-distance transmission jade could cover up to a hundred thousand li, encapsulating virtually all of Yu Kingdom—an exaggeration, but it certainly could cover a significant part of Jin Province and Wu Province.
The cultivator hurriedly relayed the situation to the main temple in detail. After a moment, he turned back to Wan Wuying with great respect, "Senior Wan, and all from the Infinite Sect, please wait here. Our Heavenly Seal Sect's Golden Core ancestors will arrive within half a day at most."
Wan Wuying corrected him calmly, "You are mistaken, it is Extreme Yin Cave."
"Yes, yes, Extreme Yin Cave! Extreme Yin Cave!" The middle-aged cultivator quickly corrected himself.
Chu Xuan listened thoughtfully. The Infinite Sect had ten Golden Core ancestors, each possessing their own cave abodes. Normally, they were spread out, each independently recruiting disciples. They only gathered together in times of crisis or during major ceremonies. Wan Wuying's cave was known as Extreme Yin Cave.
Clearly, Wan Wuying's deliberate omission of "Infinite Sect" and only mentioning "Extreme Yin Cave" was to disassociate from the Infinite Sect and avoid giving his enemies any leverage. This was the first step in a demonic cultivator's attempt to cleanse his reputation.
"Go about your business, I'll wait here," Wan Wuying said calmly.
"Yes, yes," the middle-aged cultivator nodded fervently.
Chu Xuan and the others stood in the plaza, while the disciples of the Heavenly Seal Sect went about their tasks, keeping their distance.
Half a day later, a streak of light appeared from the horizon.
"Old Ghost Wan! What brings you to my Heavenly Seal Sect? Not afraid of death, are you?" A cold, mocking voice came from the sky.
Wan Wuying chuckled strangely, "Ah, it's you. Well, not to be impolite, but even if your Heavenly Seal Sect sent two Golden Core cultivators, they wouldn't be a match for me. What do I have to fear?"
THe figure appeared on the ground in the blink of an eye. Chu Xuan looked closely and saw that the newcomer was a middle-aged cultivator with a refined appearance. Dressed in blue robes and a belt around his waist, which upon closer inspection turned out to be a slender green snake.
"Hahaha, Old Ghost Wan, you're still as merciless in your speech as ever," the elegant cultivator laughed heartily.
"Showing off everywhere with your green snake, huh?" Wan Wuying sneered mockingly.
This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
The elegant cultivator chuckled lightly, "It's just a small hobby of mine."
He pointed towards the main hall, "Old Ghost Wan, let's talk inside."
He then glanced at Chu Xuan and the others, smiling, "Someone, bring tea for these young friends from Extreme Yin Cave; don't neglect them."
"Yes," the middle-aged cultivator nodded repeatedly.
Chu Xuan and the others were led to a side hall where tea was promptly served. The fragrance of the tea filled the air, bitter yet sweet. It was Ku Mao Feng, a specialty of Wu Province. The tea was rich in Spiritual Qi and could refine the body and purge impurities when consumed regularly. Of course, it couldn't compare to the effects of medicinal pills, but many cultivators favored it as a gift to others. When the Infinite Sect was still around, Chu Xuan had once received a small jar of it and thought he would never taste it again in his lifetime. Yet, here it was once more.
"Do you think this will work?" Wu Teng sipped his tea and whispered, "That refined-looking senior seems to have some rapport with our master."
Li Xuanming calmly responded, "That Golden Core senior is named Zhao Wuya. He has always disliked the domineering ways of the Divine Star Sect. The Heavenly Seal Sect sending him over likely indicates a willingness to negotiate."
