Chapter 773: I Won't Let You Down! (II)
Chu Liang thought of something, and he quickly said, "Senior Aunt Yan, you take him and hurry back to Mount Shu. We'll wrap things up here."
Upon hearing this, Yan Zi prepared to leave.
However, before sheuld depart, a radiant sevenlored cloud suddenly flew over from the east. It floated down to the ground in a flash.
As the cloud of qi dispersed, it revealed a middle-aged man clad in a dragon-patterned Daoist robe. His skin bore purple-blue markings, faintly resembling dragon scales. Bright flames danced in the vertical pupils of his eyes, shining with the intense glow of spiritual power.
"It's Immortal Cangqiu!"[1]
A wave of exclamations rippled through the crowd that had gathered some distance away from the palace. Their voices were filled with reverence as if they were witnessing an immortal descend from the heavens.
Haaaaaa, Chu Liang sighed inwardly. I guess it was bound to happen at some point. The Penglai Sect showed up at just the right moment.
Chu Liang had heard of Daoist Cangqiu before. He was an eighth-realm Eminent One, Daoist Cangsheng's junior brother, and one of the highest-ranking figures in the Penglai Supreme Sect. He wielded immense authority in the sect, overseeing the East Sea's island kingdoms and their immortal sects as well as the various beautiful hidden paradises.
As Daoist Cangqiu landed, he scanned the area before directing ald gaze at Daoist Yan. He then questioned, "Fellow Daoists of Mount Shu, why have youme to stir up trouble in the East Sea?"
Daoist Yan replied nonchalantly, "We aren't the ones causing the trouble. There were people of the Fuyao Kingdomlluding with the Celestial Charm Sect to sow chaos. We simply intervened to uphold justice."
Chu Liang knew better than to try and get involved when the two eighth-realm Eminent Ones werenversing. Only those of the same cultivation realmuld engage in discussions like that.
