Chapter 434: Gathering
But after a few more days, the number of immortal cultivators coming to this place gradually dwindled, and not a single newcomer was seen entering throughout the entire morning today.
However, the supreme patriarch of dark yin and the scholar elder grew increasingly solemn. They not only stopped conversing but also kept glancing toward the entrance as if waiting for someone.
“Could it be that Barbarian Huzi?” Han Li naturally noticed this situation and grew curious, becoming more alert.
By the afternoon, footsteps finally echoed again at the hall’s entrance. After a few flashes of blue light, two figures walked in one after another.
One was an old daoist with white hair and a youthful face, his complexion rosy; the other was a skinny, grim-faced old man dressed like an old farmer.
Upon seeing these two, the cultivators inside the hall stirred in excitement. Most of them looked at the pair with reverence.
It seemed these two had quite a reputation!
But the supreme patriarch of dark yin and the scholar elder looked extremely hostile toward them.
Especially the supreme patriarch of dark yin, whose expression suddenly turned cold and fierce.
The two newly arrived experts also revealed hostile gazes upon seeing the supreme patriarch and the others. The old daoist snorted and directly said:
“Old Demon of Extreme Yin! You’ve arrived quite early. It seems you demonic path people are determined to seize the Void Heaven Hall this time.”
“Heavenly Enlightened One! It's not that this patriarch came early; it’s that you hypocrites arrived too late. I even thought the news of you two having the remaining map was false, but in the end, you still found it! Well, that’s perfect—it gives this patriarch the chance to convert you both.” The supreme patriarch said grimly.
“Extreme Yin! Who do you want to convert? Why not convert me as well!” Before the old daoist could retort, a deep, resonant voice came from outside the hall.
The supreme patriarch and the scholar elder exchanged glances, their expressions changing abruptly. The woman who had been silent suddenly raised her head sharply, staring coldly toward the entrance and said,
“Wan Tianming, you’re here too!”
“Since Madam Wen has come, is there anything strange about my arrival?” With this voice, a figure flickered outside and a middle-aged man in purple robes with a jade belt entered.
This man had a square face and thick eyebrows. When he opened his mouth, two rows of white teeth gleamed brightly. He casually glanced sideways at the woman, then focused on the supreme patriarch of dark yin, exuding a tremendous aura.
The supreme patriarch was looked at so rudely but only scowled silently and kept his lips tightly shut.
This startled Han Li, who carefully scrutinized the man.
If even the early nascent soul stage cultivator like the supreme patriarch feared him, could this person be a mid nascent soul stage cultivator? Han Li speculated with doubt.
By now, he realized these three were righteous path cultivators from the Chaotic Star Sea, directly opposed to the demonic path people like the supreme patriarch.
When the middle-aged man entered, the disturbance among the other cultivators in the hall immediately quieted. Someone could be heard whispering “Myriad Law Sect sect master” or something similar.
Apparently, this middle-aged man’s reputation was even higher than the previous two.
“Wan Tianming, the sword servant girl under my command was injured by one of your disciples, right?” Madam Wen, the woman with the surname Wen, seemed unafraid and openly confronted him.
“It’s not exactly an injury. My disciple only sparred a bit with your sword servant because her cultivation base was decent. Madam cannot be making a fuss over such a minor matter, can you?” Wan Tianming narrowed his eyes and replied calmly.
“Spar? My sword servant is only at early foundation establishment stage, yet your disciple clearly bullied her. Was it your intention to humiliate my sect?” The woman’s face turned cold.
