Chapter 2668 - 545: (Part 4)
However, once his voice fell, he realized that Venerable Zhu Yan across from him showed no change in expression and didn’t seem inclined to yield.
In the distance, the cultivators from other sects quickly noticed the situation occurring on their side.
Venerable Zhi Guang flew over directly and instinctively nodded upon hearing Liu Hongyi’s words. Just as he was about to speak, his gaze inadvertently fell on the cultivator holding the Earth Observing Mirror from the Hundred Peaks Sect.
What a handsome disciple.
In the realm of cultivation, there are plenty of handsome cultivators, but this cultivator in front of him was exceptionally handsome no matter where he was. Plus, why did his face seem somewhat familiar?
It seemed like he had seen him somewhere before, but he hadn’t encountered many disciples from the Hundred Peaks Sect. Being a cultivator in the Immortality Regainment Realm, he would surely remember any cultivator he had met, so it was unlikely he would have forgotten.
Unless he was a descendant of a Hundred Peaks Sect cultivator he had seen before?
Come to think of it, such a handsome person must have remarkable looking parents, which should have left a deep impression, so why...
No, this appearance!
Venerable Zhi Guang’s eyes suddenly widened, staring dumbstruck at the male cultivator across from him, gradually seeing his face overlap with that of a peerless beauty.
Immortal Lord Bi Yue!
He had once followed a senior uncle from their great teaching to see Immortal Lord Bi Yue from afar, and because this was a male cultivator, he initially just found him familiar and didn’t associate him with Bi Yue.
Now, upon closer examination, he realized that this male cultivator looked more and more like Immortal Lord Bi Yue!
This was Immortal Lord Bi Yue’s son, then that meant his father was...
Another face appeared in his mind. Though he hadn’t met Cao Zhen in person, he had seen an apparition of him during his breakthrough. Upon closer inspection, this cultivator’s brows and eyes bore a striking resemblance to Cao Zhen!
Thus, this was the son of the Hundred Peaks Sect Leader, the Clan Leader of the Eastern Province Human Clan, the reincarnated powerful Cao Zhen!
He had actually encountered the child of Sect Leader Cao!
His entire body began to tremble uncontrollably, and for a moment, he even stopped thinking.
Until Liu Hongyi’s voice sounded beside him, bringing him back to reality.
"Venerable Zhi Guang, you and Venerable Zhu Yan are the only two in the Immortality Regainment Realm within Yi River City. Tell me, isn’t the Hundred Peaks Sect being somewhat excessive!"
Liu Hongyi had no choice. To oppose Venerable Zhu Yan, who was in the Immortality Regainment Realm, he had to bring Venerable Zhi Guang into it.
Upon hearing Liu Hongyi’s words, Venerable Zhi Guang nearly cursed out loud!
Are you trying to get me killed?
You want me to stand by your side and oppose Sect Leader Cao’s son?
Don’t you know that my Sect Hierarch recently visited Sect Leader Cao, and upon returning, praised him as the most selfless existence in the world, telling everyone in our great teaching to show even more respect to Sect Leader Cao than the Hierarch himself!
If I were to stand by your side and oppose Sect Leader Cao’s son, wouldn’t the Hierarch skin me alive when I returned!
If it weren’t for the presence of so many people, he might have already attacked Liu Hongyi. Considering the consequences of siding with Liu Hongyi, he looked at Liu Hongyi with an ever-icier gaze, his voice as cold as if it had emerged from a millennium-old ice layer, saying coldly, "I don’t see any problem with the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Our entire Eastern Province, no, all of humanity knows that the Hundred Peaks Sect Leader is wholeheartedly devoted to our entire human race and is the most selfless master.
Yet you dare to question the Hundred Peaks Sect’s fellow Daoist! I believe if they doubt you, there must be an issue with you! If there’s nothing wrong, why not let this fellow Daoist test with the Earth Observing Mirror again!"
Liu Hongyi was instantly stunned. What was happening? Just now, Venerable Zhi Guang didn’t seem like he was on the side of the Hundred Peaks Sect; how had it suddenly changed so drastically?
Also, had he somehow offended Venerable Zhi Guang? Why was Venerable Zhi Guang so cold towards him, as if he were an enemy?
Most importantly, there were only two Venerables in Yi River City, and if both wanted to test him again, how could he possibly resist?
Now he’s doomed!
While he was still in shock and hadn’t regained his senses, Cao Zhonghua had already infused immortal energy into the Earth Observing Mirror, subsequently directing the mirror towards Liu Kui.
The next moment...
The mirror showed no reaction or change at all.
"No change?"
"What’s going on? Wasn’t there a shadow in the mirror just now?"
"Yeah? I saw a faint shadow in the copper mirror before; why isn’t it there on the second test?"
"They’re cheating; they must be cheating!"
All around, the residents of Yi River City quickly reacted to the unresponsive mirror, and they began to shout out.
"There’s a problem, the immortals’ test is flawed!"
"If this time’s wrong, could previous times have been wrong too!"
"Could it be that those previously tested without Immortal Cultivation aptitude actually had the aptitude!"
"Who would have thought these immortals could also cheat!"
Because of the disputes here, other cultivators flew over as well. Now, the cultivators from various sects and great teachings were looking at Liu Hongyi with peculiar expressions.
