Chapter 983: Chapter 641 Your Immortal Official? Mine!

"Let’s go."

The man with the black beard narrowed his eyes slightly, finally shifting his gaze from Shen Yi’s body to glance at the pile of flesh outside.

Although unprovoked killings were rare among demon slayers,

after all, they were still working for the Imperial Court and had to adhere to certain protocols.

But desperate times called for desperate measures. If they let this young disciple raise the alarm and all of Baiyun Temple was alerted, today’s events would only get more complicated.

The young man was indeed decisive, if a little too ruthless. No wonder he could temporarily take Meng Xiuwen’s place.

"Retreat."

Mei Jiyao casually formed a spell with her hand.

For their group of demon slayers, escaping from this place was not difficult.

It was best to avoid any commotion if possible.

Under the orders of the two Demon Slayer Officers, the group quickly flitted towards the exit of the Tree Palace.

However, at that moment,

The immense ancient tree that encompassed the Abyss suddenly trembled violently!

Those tree trunks embedded deep into the cliffs suddenly pulled out, like a monstrous hand with countless claws rapidly closing in, covering the entire abyss above.

On the vines that wriggled out were many figures standing silently,

all dressed in Baiyun Temple vestment robes, their faces solemn, indifferently overlooking from above.

A voice tinged with coldness echoed through the Abyss.

"To intrude without question,"

"is to be a thief."

Neither the Demon Slayer Officers nor the youngest, Ye Jing, showed much panic in the face of this scene.

The power disparity between the two sides was too great.

Even with the support of the Golden Jade Ancient Tree, it was unlikely Baiyun Temple could hold them.

To put it bluntly, if it were not for the presence of true gods and the worry of exposing court affairs to the Immortal Court, any Demon Slayer Officer could handle this so-called Immortal Sect that reached the heavens.

Unfortunately, there were no such what-ifs.

True gods of the Immortal Court stood just outside Baiyun Temple, watched by thousands. Any disturbance would, out of respect for the Bai Yun Ancestor and since it happened under their own watch, certainly prompt the other party to investigate on behalf of Baiyun Temple.

In case something was discovered, it wouldn’t be a matter that could be resolved by simply removing an official.

"You go first."

The man with the black beard looked on calmly. The priority now was to ensure that everyone could retreat without a trace.

The Demon Slayer Officers of course needed to stay behind to cover the retreat.

Before his words fell, a spiritual light burst forth, forming a huge hand to grab the tendrils of the Golden Jade and tearing a path through it with irresistible force.

The Golden Jade Ancient Tree, the treasure of the sect, had no power to resist this spiritual light!

"Hiss!"

The expressions of many Baiyun Temple cultivators shook violently, their faces instantly turning grim.

Such ease in a casual strike revealed the strength of the group below; they were no mere thieves but venerable elders of renown.

The presence of such entities in the Tree Palace clearly meant they were here for this affair!

Although aware of the great disparity in strength, not a single person present shrank back.

With a true god outside holding the Jade Decree awarded to Baiyun Temple by the Immortal Court, if they showed fear under these circumstances, wouldn’t the visit of the Immortal Official be in vain?!

Outside Baiyun Temple,

The Old Sect Master still watched the towering figure in the sky with respectful reverence.

However, the flush of excitement gradually faded from his face.

He showed no oddity in his expression, quietly waiting for the Immortal Official to finish reading the Jade Decree, then knelt down to receive the golden light that streaked from the sky with meticulous manners, not daring to show the slightest neglect.

Only after the whole process was completed did he raise his voice, "Immortal Official, you have labored to travel all this way and graced the Mortal Realm with your presence. We hope you can rest for a few days in our humble sect and admire this wondrous world."

As these words were spoken, all creatures around them displayed envious looks.

With the Immortal Official entering the sect, Baiyun Temple was sure to offer many tributes and thus gain a powerful connection.

Don’t grieve over it; many would give anything to offer such tributes.

"Sir, we are all colleagues under the Immortal Court; it’s also out of respect for our ancestor."

Behind the clouds, enveloped by Jin Guang, several accompanying Immortal Officials all looked towards the towering figure in the front.

This was the official’s first time descending to the Mortal Realm on an Immortal Task, and perhaps he was still unaccustomed.

In fact, the Immortal Court did not strictly control such matters; it was rare to descend to the Mortal Realm, so whatever one could take or enjoy should be taken without concern of overstepping.

The Golden Body Dharma Identity stared quietly at Baiyun Temple, and after a moment, finally left an order: "Wait here for me."

Instantly, under the Pure Qi of the White Rhinoceros Seal, he stepped out of the clouds and truly descended to the earthly world.

Seeing this, the Old Sect Master of Baiyun Temple revealed a smile that was nearly imperceptible.

He bowed his body and welcomed the true god into Baiyun Temple, which only then did the surrounding beings reluctantly withdraw their gazes. They still lingered, not wanting to scatter, for although they couldn’t enjoy the same fortunes as Baiyun Temple, it was good to receive even a slight touch of the Immortal’s aura.

Yet the onlookers did not notice,

The faces of Baiyun Temple’s strongest cultivators all exhibited a hint of coldness the moment the true god entered the temple.

"At least leave one."

The Old Sect Master’s body slowly submerged into the Array.

He knew this matter couldn’t be kept secret forever. Whether it was other sects green with envy or the few meddling Land Gods, they all watched Baiyun Temple’s flourishing situation, eager for the inhabitants to suffer a misfortune.

The world always had no shortage of malevolent creatures who resented the success of others.

But—

To cause trouble in front of the Immortal Court, did they really think his sect had no one in heaven to call upon?

By taking custody of one, they could interrogate at leisure,

To ensure that the Ancestor knew exactly which sect harbored ill intentions.
