Chapter 899: Myriad Immortals Conference (1)
At the foot of the mountain, the red sun rose in the east. Li Xiaofei was still preaching. However, the atmosphere among the crowd gradually turned strange. During a break, Li Yiyun, Kou Zhengyang, and Yang Zhao came to see him.
“Master, something seems wrong,” Kou Zhengyang said, concern written all over his face. “There are some whispers going around. It’s said that more than one Immortal Sect has gathered on the mountain. A number of powerful Immortal cultivators have formed an alliance, and they plan to ambush you during the Myriad Immortals Conference in three days.”
Li Yiyun added, “Master, there’s no shame in retreating for now. With your cultivation and vision, you can establish your own sect and spread the way of the Immortals. It would surely become the greatest sect under heaven within a hundred years or less. There’s no need to risk everything at this moment.”
“Yes, Master,” Yang Zhao echoed.
Li Xiaofei could tell that these three disciples, who had been the first to follow him, were genuinely worried for his safety. He smiled and said, “I have my own plans. You need not worry. There is still no one in this world capable of opposing me.”
Seeing that Li Xiaofei was determined, the three could only step out of the tent, though the unease in their hearts lingered.
“If Master insists on going up the mountain, then the three of us cannot let him lose face,” Kou Zhengyang said firmly. “When the time comes, we will accompany him, even if it means walking through fire or blades. We will follow him no matter what.”
Normally quiet and reserved, Kou Zhengyang was the most capable among them, and his judgment was often the soundest.
“Agreed,” Yang Zhao replied, concise as always.
Li Yiyun stretched out his hand and said, “The three of us live and die together, but we must never die after our Master.”
“Live and die together.”
“Live and die together.”
