Chapter 1137 - Old Friend (2/2)

However, Tang Xian had not entered for long when Elder Di and a white-clothed young man walked over. They appeared unfriendly, and there was a hint of complacency in their eyes.

Tang Xian looked at the two of them and said, frowning, “Elder Di.”

“Tang Xian, it’s good that you’re here. This is the Flying Celestial Sect’s True Lord Abstrusity. After the Hundred Sects Meet is over, he’ll be in charge of taking care of the arrangements for the Repose Palace. Get to know him well,” Elder Di said this while communicating via voice transmission, “Tang Xian, after the Hundred Sects Meet, the various sects will be managed by the Flying Celestial Sect’s four True Lords. He’ll be your superior in the future. Don’t make any foolish decisions that implicate the entire Repose Palace.”

The Flying Celestial Sect was led by the Venerable Master Zhai Xing, followed by the four True Lords who were all tier eight Divine level experts. Each of them was a legendary character amongst the higher realm’s immortal sects.

Seeing Elder Di’s proud gaze, Tang Xian smiled coldly and replied, “Do you think that you’ll be able to get back your standing just because you’ve found yourself a backing? Childish.”

Upon saying that, he turned to leave without even giving True Lord Abstrusity a second look.

After all, in Tang Xian’s eyes, all the cultivators in the Flying Celestial Sect were as good as dead with Fang Xingjian’s arrival. What more was there to say?

Seeing Tang Xian leaving, True Lord Abstrusity’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in them.

Elder Di was secretly overjoyed, but he said, “This Tang Xian has been disrespectful toward his seniors from the day he entered the sect. Now that he has reached tier eight of the Divine level, he has become even more arrogant and looks down on others. He may bring trouble to today’s meet.”

洞虚真君 smiled and threw a glance toward Elder Di, causing the latter’s heart to skip a beat.

“After coming to our Flying Celestial Sect, even a tiger or a dragon would have to lie low in prostrate. There’s no place for his impudence. But I’ll personally investigate what Tang Xian’s intentions are. If someone wishes to make use of me…”

“This old man wouldn’t dare,” Elder Di immediately said.

Tang Xian and the others had only walked a few steps away when they met Gong Yuyan and the others from the Hundred Rivers Sect.

When Gong Yuyan saw Tang Xian, she immediately cupped her hands. “Paying my respect to Senior.”

The news of Tang Xian’s return, as well as him having attained tier eight of the Divine level and taken up leadership over the Repose Palace, had spread through the entire higher realm. Of course, Gong Yuyan found out about it as well.

The moment she saw Tang Xian, she communicated via voice transmission and said, “Senior Tang, the four True Lords will be officially taking lead over all the sects in the world after the 大会. With the Flying Celestial Sect and Venerable Master Zhai Xing endorsing this personally, there’s probably no one in the world who can object to this. This trend of the times has been decided.

“If possible, it’s still best to not offend the True Lords.”

Tang Xian smiled slightly. “It’s fine. They won’t be able to do anything to me.”

“Oh?” Gong Yuyan was slightly surprised to see Tang Xian’s confident look. She could tell that there was a hint of glow in his eyes.

While Tang Xian communicated with the various sects’ martial arts cultivators, Fang Xingjian quietly went to a corner and stood before a young man.

Despite his young appearance, the young man’s eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of life. He sat in the corner and watched the various changes taking place, having the disposition of having seen through the secular life.

The young man looked at Fang Xingjian and said, “Do we know each other?”

“Of course, we do.” The other person had not recognized him, but Fang Xingjian managed to figure out this young man’s background through his high-dimensional vision.

Fang Xingjian said, “Second Prince, it’s been a while.”

This young man was clearly the Empire’s Second Prince who had not appeared after saying that he was going to train in seclusion over a year ago.
