Chapter 99: Eternal Immortal Sect
Tan Yun looked up and saw, on the eastern side of the summit, Murong Daoist and the forty-eight artifact lineage disciples participating in the Artisan Techniques Grand Competition, all staring at him!
Only Zhong Wu Shi Yao, standing behind Murong Daoist, secretly smiled at him. Gongsun Ruoxi, beside Shi Yao, calmly nodded at him.
At that moment, Murong Daoist and his disciples undoubtedly harbored murderous intent toward Tan Yun for having incapacitated Cao Bin!
Tan Yun nodded back at Zhong Wu Shi Yao, dismissing the murderous intent from others with a smile.
At this moment, Shen Subing cast a glance at Murong Daoist, then swept down from the Spirit Vessel, followed closely by Tan Yun and the other disciples.
There was no greeting exchanged between Shen Subing and Murong Daoist, nor any eye contact; she led her disciples to stand on the other side of the peak shrouded in spiritual mist.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Moments later, two Spirit Vessels arrived one after the other, landing atop Coiling Dragon Peak.
One of the Spirit Vessels carried Qiankun Daoist, the chief of the formation lineage, along with fifty disciples.
The other vessel held the talismans lineage chief, the old woman Talisman Daoist, and her fifty disciples.
Qiankun Daoist and Talisman Daoist led their respective disciples off the Spirit Vessels and stood on the summit.
Now, the four chiefs—Dan, Artifact, Formation, and Talismans—had no communication among themselves, while their disciples glared at each other from a distance, charged with tension!
About half an hour later, the expressions of the four chiefs suddenly turned serious, and they all looked up toward the eastern horizon.
They saw five figures crossing the sky.
In an instant, the five landed atop the summit.
The leader was a man in his forties, dressed in a blue robe. He had a commanding presence, with sharp eyes like cold stars and eyebrows like ink. His broad chest exuded an unmatched might!
This man was none other than the current Sovereign: Dantai Xuanzhong!
Behind Dantai Xuanzhong stood a woman in a black dress and three elders.
The incredibly beautiful woman in the black dress was none other than Tang Xinying, the chief of the Immortal Sect Danmai, known as Daoist Tang Zun.
The three elders were the chief of the Immortal Sect Artifact Lineage, Sikong Zhiyun, known as Instrumental Daoist; the chief of the Immortal Sect Formation Lineage, Wei Ruisheng, known as Qiankun Daoist; and the chief of the Immortal Sect Talismans Lineage, Zhu Ziping, known as Talisman Daoist.
The nine great chiefs of the Inner Sect referred to each other as Daoists, while the nine great chiefs of the Immortal Sect were referred to as Daoists as well.
"My subordinate Shen Subing leads the Danmai disciples to pay respects to the Sovereign!"
"My subordinate Murong Shishi leads the Artifact Lineage disciples to pay respects to the Sovereign!"
"…"
Shen Subing, Murong Daoist, Qiankun Daoist, and Talisman Daoist led their respective disciples to kneel before Dantai Xuanzhong.
With a stern expression, Dantai Xuanzhong nodded and spoke in a tone filled with undeniable authority: "The competition against the two ancient sects of Dan, Artifact, Formation, and Talismans is of great importance. All disciples must give their all!"
"Disciples obey!" the crowd replied in unison.
"Good." Dantai Xuanzhong nodded in satisfaction and continued, "This competition holds significant rewards for those who bring glory to our sect!"
Dantai Xuanzhong expressed his commanding presence, saying: "Moreover, within the Eternal Immortal Sect, do not seek trouble, but if provoked, endure if you lack the strength; if capable, crush their arrogance!"
"You must remember that when you head to the Eternal Immortal Sect, you represent the face of Huangfu Sacred Sect, understand?"
Hearing this, the disciples responded in unison with a thunderous voice, "Replying to the Sovereign, we understand!"
"Good!" Dantai Xuanzhong nodded in satisfaction. He then flicked his fingers, and the Qiankun Ring glimmered; a Spirit Vessel flew into the air above the peak and, in the blink of an eye, transformed into a colossal size!
