Chapter 1149: Chapter 708: Where Is Nanyang? I’m Protecting the Sutra (Happy New Year to the Big Shots)

Perhaps these heavenly prides, after not meddling in worldly affairs for many years, or maybe due to their status and cultivation, simply did not need to concern themselves with the thoughts of others.

Thus, those thoughts were all plainly written on their faces.

Several Shenxu Peak Masters’ expressions changed on the spot, among them, Qian Feng Taoist raised an eyebrow: "If it’s just about the Scripture heist, there’s no need for Tian Dan to take action, we..."

You must know, regarding the Taixu Pill Emperor’s slaying of Qingluan, those from Shenxu Mountain didn’t have more knowledge than outsiders, to the extent that up to this point, there was still a mindset of being made a scapegoat.

If Tian Dan truly were peerless, unilaterally oppressing those of the same cultivation at the Fourth Grade, the esteemed Peak Masters would not be swayed by these people’s thoughts; but what made it intolerable was that these people’s guesses were very likely to be true.

"Silence."

Golden Thunder Taoist glanced over indifferently, then raised his palm to invite this group of heavenly prides to enter the peak to rest and recuperate: "If you wish to seek out my Tian Dan, you are welcome to proceed to the Fifth Peak. That junior Ye Lan has a good relationship with him; if you have matters to inquire about, you may ask her."

"Thank you for your hospitality."

The heavenly prides returned the gesture with a cupped fist salute, and as they also required a secluded place to discuss important matters, they no longer hesitated and directly leaped into Dan Peak.

"Brother, why stop me?"

Once there were no outsiders left at the scene, Qian Feng Taoist clenched his fist in frustration: "Isn’t this sully the reputation of our Shenxu Mountain for naught? Although Tian Dan is young, we are not merely decorative pillows. It’s just about raiding scriptures; would we really fear those thieving monks?"

His cultivation was two thousand three hundred calamities. Although not as formidable as these heavenly prides, he was nevertheless much older, with plentiful methods and magic treasures at his disposal. With abundant combat experience, it certainly wasn’t certain that he would lose to a few of them.

"It shows you off."

Golden Thunder Taoist looked over indifferently. Mu Yang father and son have not returned till now, with no news at all, which has already confirmed his thoughts.

Tian Dan was certainly not the junior these people imagined, at the very least he was a heavenly pride not inferior to those present.

Based on the way his master had acted upon the last awakening, it was obvious that there was a push for Tian Dan. As such, how could they themselves steal the limelight from him? What was needed was to work silently, dedicating one’s full efforts to assist.

"Even if you don’t take action, you should at least take a look."

Jin Xue Taoist, uncommonly stepping forward, spoke out. Such a major event hadn’t been seen in the Immortal Sect for a very long time.

According to common sense, with an event touching upon the calamities of the entire universe, an old ancestor of a lineage should have stepped forward to take command early on. Unfortunately, their Shenxu Ancestor was not like the other Daluo Immortal Venerables, who mostly slumbered deeply, unconcerned with worldly affairs.

If they too stood by idly, then Shenxu Mountain would truly be completely sidelined.

Once the order of heaven and earth was reestablished, they would likely be far surpassed by the other Immortal Lineages of their sect.

Hearing this, Golden Thunder Taoist no longer objected, nodding slightly: "Agreed."

During the discussion among the numerous Peak Masters.

Dan Peak was also quite lively.

The heavenly prides looked at Ye Lan and actually didn’t show any disdain. With her status as a Third Generation Disciple, she had been well-known in the Three Immortals Sect early on and had been the focus of attention. It’s just that no one knew what happened later on, and her presence gradually faded.

Now she had even lost the position of Shenxu Mountain Peak Master.

If this great calamity were to occur a few hundred years later, once this young lady entered the ranks of the Fourth Grade, with her talent, she would not be below two thousand five hundred calamities, and she would have the qualifications to stand shoulder to shoulder with them.

But ’if’ does not exist in this world.

One step late is late in every way.

She failed to catch up with this last moment, which also meant she lost her connection to the great calamity and would thereafter be lost among the crowd.

"Why has the Taixu Pill Emperor not returned?"

"..."

Ye Lan fell silent for a moment. When she received the letter from the mountain, she did not think about notifying Shen Yi at all.

Firstly, he was in the middle of alchemy, and it was not good to disturb him. Secondly, she knew more clearly than anyone that Shen Yi had a deep grudge with the Bodhi Sect, and even the Shenxu Ancestor may not genuinely favor Shen Yi. He had no reason to fight on behalf of Shenxu Mountain.

Furthermore, given her title as the Imperial Court’s Demon Slayer Bureau, it is more likely that the Imperial Court can only hope for General Nanyang to take action for this scripture raid.

"My uncle is roaming the immortal wilderness, seeking heavenly materials for alchemy, and truly cannot be contacted," she responded with a respectful bow.

"Shh, almost forgot."

Perhaps it was this man’s fame in slaying Qingluan.

It was only then that everyone remembered that alchemy was, after all, the Taixu Pill Emperor’s main pursuit, and combat was just a secondary skill.

True or false, it was at least a plausible excuse, one that would not let the Bodhi Sect look down on the Three Immortals Sect.

"Never mind, never mind."

Someone waved their hand and then turned to ask: "How much longer before Tian Dong arrives?"

The heavenly pride beside them shook their heads helplessly: "The Fairy said she doesn’t want to be involved in these matters. If she is free, she might come to have a look."

"This..." Everyone’s faces suddenly changed.

You should know that, despite their current appearance of being full of confidence, the Great Arhats appointed by the Bodhi Sect were all practitioners of top-ten ranked Fruit Positions, and they had also trodden a quite extraordinary path when stepping into the Fourth Grade.

Not to mention the inscrutable Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Great Ming King.

If they were chosen to take over for the Golden Toad Arhat, they wouldn’t be much worse.

Now with Taixu Pill Emperor not appearing, and Tian Dong Fairy refusing to participate.

Relying on themselves, the chance of victory was not high.

On normal days, each and every one of them was more flamboyant than the sky, but when it came to taking action, they all started to shrink their heads.

"Heh, she’s quite astute."

Suddenly, Tianwu Xuan Wu sneered, immediately understanding Tian Dong Fairy’s mindset: "She wants to enjoy the fruits of this great calamity, yet not willing to dirty those clean hands."

If everyone acted in such a way, what calamity would there be left to speak of.
