Chapter 266: Once Spoken, None Dare Defy
Once again, Lin Xuankong asked coldly.
Qiu Qianren, the Fifth-Grade Earth Immortal from Profound Pure Immortal Sect, breathed heavily. A stream of condensed Immortal Yuan transformed into a long white mist, pouring out from his nostrils and spreading for thousands of feet, lingering.
This Fifth-Grade Earth Immortal was clearly enraged, wishing he could pulverize the Tenth Level Early Stage cultivator who had reprimanded him on the spot!
Just at that moment, Lin Xuankong floated out directly from the Sect Protection Array of Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect! The Sect Protection Array of Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect was quite marvelous. It could block all items, Magic, Magical Artifacts, Immortal Artifacts, and living beings attacking from the outside, yet it offered no obstruction whatsoever to anything attacking from the inside out!
At this moment, seeing Qiu Qianren, the Fifth-Grade Earth Immortal of Profound Pure Immortal Sect, so enraged, and seeing 'Tributor Mu' fly directly out of the Sect Protection Array, the expressions of the numerous Earth Immortals of Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect instantly tensed. Sect Leader Li, the three Grand Elders Sui He, Qing He, and Cang He, the two Vice Sect Leaders, several Tributors, plus Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er and Medicine Immortal Qu Wan'Er all transformed into streaks of light and flew out of the Sect Protection Array without any hesitation!
Then, these more than ten Earth Immortals from Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect gathered around Lin Xuankong, looking vigilantly at the hundreds of Earth Immortals around them, especially Qiu Qianren, the enraged Fifth-Grade Earth Immortal of Profound Pure Immortal Sect.
And those hundreds of Earth Immortals from the Seventy-six Immortal Sects Alliance, whether they were the Five Elements Wanderer from Five Elements Immortal Sect, Duan Qianchou and Duan River from Fire Spirit Immortal Sect, or other Earth Immortals, all looked at Mu Bashi as if they were looking at a fool!
A mere Tenth Level Initial Tier cultivator dared to come out of the Sect Protection Array of Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect! It was hard to tell if this guy was genuinely bold or simply not afraid of death. If he had dared to do this dozens of breaths ago, any Earth Immortal, by exerting their full strength, could have likely captured this Mu Shiba instantly. After all, the weakest of the Earth Immortals present were at least First Grade Earth Immortals; even Initial Tier Earth Immortals weren't qualified to partake in such a monumental event!
Of course, the gazes of these hundreds of Earth Immortals not only showed some surprise but also flashed with greed. If Galin Bodhisattva were not hovering nearby, looking this way with a gentle expression, some Earth Immortals would have long since succumbed to temptation and attacked Lin Xuankong directly!
At this moment, Lin Xuankong looked up at the towering, thousands-of-feet-tall Fifth-Grade Earth Immortal, Qiu Qianren, the coldness in his eyes growing more intense. His right hand was already placed inside the Golden Patterned Ghost Child Pouch at his waist. This pouch stored one of his trump cards for this occasion—a new one that could most significantly enhance his combat prowess!
Actually, my main target in coming out of the Sect Protection Array this time is Duan He and Duan Qianchou from Fire Spirit Immortal Sect, including every Earth Immortal from their sect. Especially Flaming Blade Duan River! If not for that bastard stirring up trouble secretly, I wouldn't have wasted so much time, nor would I have needed to reveal my trump card of a close relationship with Galin Bodhisattva... This kind of vile person scheming against me must be completely eliminated this time! And as for Fire Spirit Immortal Sect, an evil and heretical path, even if they've committed fewer evil deeds than Profound Yin Demon Sect, they absolutely deserve to die, to be utterly annihilated!
However, if the Earth Immortals from the other so-called Seventy-six Immortal Sects intend to court death first, I am naturally happy to oblige!
However, just as Lin Xuankong's hand reached into the Golden Patterned Ghost Child Pouch, Qiu Qianren, the Fifth-Grade Earth Immortal from Profound Pure Immortal Sect, suddenly sighed heavily.
Then, his thousands-of-feet-tall Late Stage Fifth-Grade Earth Immortal body instantly shrank. In merely one-hundredth of a breath, his originally towering physique became comparable in height to Lin Xuankong, even a few centimeters shorter...
It was unknown whether this Fifth-Grade Earth Immortal from Profound Pure Immortal Sect was originally slightly shorter than Lin Xuankong, or if he had intentionally transformed to be a few centimeters shorter.
After his body transformed to this size, this Fifth-Grade Earth Immortal from Profound Pure Immortal Sect showed no trace of battle intent in his eyes. He first glanced at Galin Bodhisattva, then at the Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts held by each of the numerous Earth Immortals of Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect.
Then, the Fifth-Grade Earth Immortal, Qiu Qianren, bowed deeply and cupped his hands very respectfully towards Lin Xuankong.
"Tributor Mu, your admonishment is entirely correct. Since you are handling matters with other Earth Immortals, how could I, Qiu Qianren, dare to interrupt? I shall step aside and await your commands, Tributor Mu!
I, Qiu Qianren, can assure you that henceforth, whether it is myself, or any Earth Immortal or disciple of Profound Pure Immortal Sect, upon hearing Tributor Mu's command, we will comply immediately and will not dare to offer the slightest excuse!"
After speaking, he addressed the twenty-odd Earth Immortals of Profound Pure Immortal Sect behind him, saying, "Tributor Mu is about to be busy with other matters. You lot, don't be hasty to disturb him. Just prepare the Treasures and Magical Artifacts you each possess. Later, present them to Tributor Mu or the seniors of Spiritual Crane Upper Sect to implore the forgiveness of Spiritual Crane Upper Sect's many seniors!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the twenty-odd Earth Immortals from Profound Pure Immortal Sect flickered. However, not a single one dared to defy their Grand Elder's orders. They could only retreat into the distance with Qiu Qianren and begin to take stock of the Treasures in their respective Ghost Frog Pouches!
Seeing this scene, the greed in the eyes of the hundreds of Earth Immortals from the Seventy-six Immortal Sects Alliance vanished instantly. No one dared to stare at Lin Xuankong any longer, and no one harbored any improper thoughts.
Meanwhile, inside Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's Sect Protection Array, the remaining dozen or so Earth Immortals and tens of thousands of disciples witnessed Profound Pure Immortal Sect's dignified Late Stage Fifth-Grade Grand Elder being utterly defeated before 'Tributor Mu' without even daring to lift a finger. How could they not be excited? How could they not be overjoyed!
Waves of cheers echoed incessantly from within the Sect Protection Array and from the dozens of Spirit Peaks of Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect!
"Long live Tributor Mu! Tributor Mu is indeed the hope for Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's rise, the future of our sect!"
"Hahaha, not just the future! Even now, Tributor Mu is already virtually peerless! The moment he speaks, even a Fifth-Grade Earth Immortal must obey instantly, not daring to resist in the slightest!"
"Hahahaha! I just thought Sect Leader and the others went out to fight another battle with Profound Pure Immortal Sect and those hundreds of Earth Immortals. But it turns out... Tributor Mu is indeed supremely awe-inspiring!"
