Chapter 1293 - Eight Ancestral Talismans
Zhuge Ming's intervention snapped everything into place for Liu Wuxie, but he still intended to verify each conclusion later.
"Earth Immortal Realm cultivators acting against a junior at the Origin Conversion Realm. Is this the style of your Grand Unity Sect?" Zhuge Ming asked, his gaze razor-sharp as it swept across the Earth Immortals; if they dared take another step, he would show them no mercy.
Elders of the Grand Unity Sect exchanged wary glances. Someone had told them another elder led the expedition—how could Zhuge Ming be here? Sects rarely changed an expedition leader at the last minute. Not only had the Heavenly Dragon Sect replaced its leader, but they had also brought out Zhuge Ming, who had been in seclusion for years.
"Come back," an expert at the Quasi–Heaven Gaze Realm ordered, stepping from the Grand Unity Sect's warship to summon the Earth Immortals back. If they were to continue, they would only turn themselves into a laughingstock.
In truth, the Grand Unity Sect became a laughingstock the moment they failed to kill Liu Wuxie despite sending Earth Immortals to kill him.
Even as the Earth Immortals retreated, Liu Wuxie kept his eyes on them, the murderous light within refusing to fade. He etched every face into memory, fully aware that without Zhuge Ming's intervention, he would have been a dead man.
If someone else had led the expedition, things would have unfolded in a very different way. Whether anyone would face several Earth Immortals for a mere fifth-level Origin Conversion Realm junior was another matter entirely.
As for Elder Long, he was merely at the Void Realm; the gap between him and the Earth Immortals was far too significant.
When Liu Wuxie returned to the Heavenly Dragon Sect's warship, the murderous intent in his eyes finally ebbed. He had already marked the Grand Unity Sect for destruction. So what if they had Earth Immortals? He swore to himself that he would trample them beneath his foot one day.
Seeing that Liu Wuxie remained unharmed, Elder Long let out a long breath and hurried over.
"Kid, you've got some nerve," he said, patting Liu Wuxie's shoulder. After all, Liu Wuxie had stolen everyone's spotlight in this blacksmithing event.
Liu Wuxie answered with a smile. Taking first place in the blacksmithing event meant the Dragon Origin Herb was essentially his. However, he still needed strong results in subsequent events to persuade the sect to establish an interstellar teleportation array for him.
