East Victory Immortal Dynasty.
Capital City Soul Song.
At this time, Ling Xiaozi summoned Kaiyuan Child back from Longevity Immortal City, as Zhen Yuan had already perished, and his presence there was no longer of any use.
Although there was some regret after their return from the court of the Immortal Dynasty, the result was not too bad.
Afterward, he directly ordered Kaiyuan Child, “Kaiyuan, go find a few capable Golden Core cultivators among the disciples in our sect. Remember, they must be capable and all must be elite disciples.”
“Yes, Master.”
At this time, Kaiyuan Child did not ask why. He simply followed his Master’s instructions, thinking that his Master wouldn’t harm him.’
However, before Kaiyuan Child left, Chunyangzi suddenly said, “Daoist friend Ling Xiaozi, I can give you all the quota from my sect, as long as you promise me one thing.”
Ling Xiaozi glanced at him, and he guessed what Chunyangzi wanted to say. In fact, it was a win-win situation.
“What are your terms for exchange?”
Chunyangzi did not beat around the bush and replied, “I have no conditions. This is my compensation to make up for the cause and effect of my disciple Feng Yuan’s actions in Longevity Immortal City.”
As expected, upon confirming his suspicions, he pretended to think for a moment before agreeing directly.
“Alright, Kaiyuan, find a few more elite disciples to come over.”
Kaiyuan Child immediately left, and Chunyangzi let out a sigh of relief. For those who could survive the Fate Calamity, reducing any cause and effect might change the balance.
Chunyangzi quickly expressed his gratitude to Lingxuzi. This time, sending low-level cultivators to the Immortal City was to compete for the city’s destiny. Of course, in the end, it would only achieve the same status as City Master Zhen Yuan.
Though it was a great fortune that could increase the luck of their own sect, Feng Yuan’s returns were becoming increasingly apparent.
Since that was the case, choosing between the intangible position of Lord of Longevity Immortal City and something more tangible was an easy choice to make. There was no need for further discussion.
It was just a matter of betting on the present or the future. Different positions and ideas create different outcomes.
At this time, Ling Xiaozi wasn’t too angry about the decision of the Immortal Dynasty, as living people still needed to look forward.
In the face of the future of his sect’s legacy, his disciple Zhen Yuan’s death would ultimately be outweighed by gains and losses and be abandoned as inconsequential.
That was because he was already dead, and the dead wouldn’t have much value in front of the living, no matter how they were in life.
The two fell silent for a while, and soon Kaiyuan Child returned with a few elite Golden Core disciples.
Afterward, he stood behind his Master without saying a word. Ling Xiaozi then briefly explained the situation.
The Golden Core disciples’ eyes lit up upon hearing the news. This was an incredible opportunity, and they even wanted to thank the Church of All Beings. If not for their interference, how could they, mere Golden Core cultivators, have a chance to fight for the Longevity Immortal City?
Kaiyuan Child now understood what was going on, and although his face was expressionless, he sighed in his heart.
Naturally, he understood why Master Ling Xiaozi acted this way, but he found it hard to accept. After all, a junior brother and senior brother shouldn’t die so senselessly.
With that in mind, he immediately pleaded with Ling Xiaozi, “Master, let me lead the team and take these disciples to Longevity Immortal City this time, as I am the most familiar with the situation there.”
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiaozi stared deeply at him. The Immortal Dynasty’s intentions were clear; they did not allow high-level cultivators to enter Longevity Immortal City, so as not to affect the city’s destiny and disrupt their plans.
Since Kaiyuan Child couldn’t enter personally, his intentions were obvious, but Ling Xiaozi couldn’t oppose him now, lest he irritate his big apprentice.
He could only hope that Kaiyuan Child would control his emotions and not act impulsively. “Alright, but no matter what you plan to do, don’t disrupt the Immortal Dynasty’s plans and don’t do anything foolish.”
“Don’t worry, Master. I understand.”
Under the watchful eyes of Chunyangzi and Ling Xiaozi, Kaiyuan Child left with the Golden Core disciples. Only then did Chunyangzi reassure Ling Xiaozi.
“Daoist friend, rest assured. Kaiyuan Child has always known when to advance and retreat. He won’t act recklessly. Even if he does take action, I’m afraid it will be after this plan is settled.”
“We can only hope so.”
Longevity Immortal City.
Huang Yifan had previously killed two intruders, not caring much about it. He blamed their misfortune for choosing the wrong people to investigate and disturb.
However, at this moment, a stream of light flashed from outer space, followed by a number of Golden Core Daoists who concealed their Qi and descended from the sky to the Immortal City.
Only Liang Sheng noticed this, as others knew nothing about it, and the opening in the sky only lasted for an instant.
Yet, Liang Sheng sensed the Qi of Kaiyuan Child, who had previously visited the Immortal City. Although the latter did not enter the city, he was accompanied by other cultivators, presumably to send the Golden Core cultivators into the Immortal City. However, none of them had reached the Soul Emergence Realm.
From their expressions, it was clear they felt that having someone of Kaiyuan Child’s level was overkill for the task.
Then, the others guarded outside, and Kaiyuan Child closed his eyes and began to meditate. At this point, Kaiyuan Child was no match for Liang Sheng, who was invincible in the Soul Emergence Realm.
This was the terrifying aspect of Liang Sheng’s ability to fight across realms. Not to mention Kaiyuan Child, even if Ling Xiaozi himself had come, Liang Sheng would have had the power to escape at this time.
