Chapter 1144: One Hand Cannot Cover the Sky
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu both halted their attacks.
The newcomer did not reveal themself. However, they could force Madam Qi back with a flick of the finger and even casually block the Twin Sword Union without the slightest damage. There was no doubt that the newcomer was an Immortal.
This was certainly no opponent Qi Xuansu could contend with.
During the fight with Chen Shuhua, three Pseudo-Immortals had failed to subdue her. Chen Shuhua was only forced into dire straits after another Immortal joined the fray.
The newcomer’s identity was not difficult to guess. He was most likely Wu Guangbi’s master, Golden Patriarch.
Just as Qi Xuansu felt troubled, a Ruyi scepter appeared out of thin air.
The scepter was jade-green throughout. Its head had three cloud patterns, inlaid with six gems of differing colors. The black gem symbolized heaven, yellow-brown for earth, red for humankind, gold for the sun, white for the moon, and deep blue for the stars.
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu both brightened in spirit.
Though this was their first time seeing the Ruyi scepter in person, they had long heard many descriptions of it.
In truth, there were very few in the entire Daoist Order who did not know of this scepter, which was the Grand Master’s token of authority, also called the Three Treasures Scepter.
It had once belonged to the Primordial Daoist Ancestor. After his ascension, the scepter remained in the world as an immortal object.
At present, the Daoist Order had no Grandmaster. Though the three Deputy Grand Masters took turns serving as the Great Sage Lunzhi, none of them could wield the Grand Master’s immortal objects nor enter the Zixiao Palace. All of these artifacts were stored within the Zixiao Palace, under the care of the Palace Master.
