Unsheathed

In the Purple Sun Residence's Sword Raging Hall...

Wu Yi was already nearing the limit of her patience, barely able to listen to the reports of her subordinates anymore. Her subordinates were still droning on and trying to obtain praise and rewards, and she was just about to end the meeting and tell everyone to disperse.

However, a steward from the external sect walked to the entrance of the Sword Raging Hall before saying in a respectful voice, "Old Ancestor, the river goddess of the White Swan River has come with abundant gifts and is hoping to gain an audience with you."

The corners of Wu Yi's lips curled up into a faint smile, and she looked at her subordinates and asked, "I've only just returned, yet that woman from the White Swan River has already rushed over to seek an audience with me? Was she notified by that old man from the incense temple? Does he want to die?"

Everyone in the hall was well aware that this was a sign of their old ancestor becoming angry.

Thus, all of the powerful and influential old immortals of the Purple Sun Residence started to feel a sense of unease.

Their old ancestor would cause the mountains and earth to shake every time she became angry, and either some foolish outsider would be obliterated, or a large group of elders who had failed to fulfill their duties would be severely punished.

An old cultivator who had a relatively amicable relationship with the elderly river god of the Iron Plate River hurriedly summoned his courage and stepped forward, putting in a few good words for the river god who was teetering on the precipice of death. "Old Ancestor, the river god of the incense temple definitely wouldn't dare to do this. His cultivation is pathetic, and he's unable to complete any task successfully. It's only regarding his loyalty to the Purple Sun Residence where he doesn't waver at all. So, I dare to presume that with Old Ancestor sailing back on an immortal ship, that lowly river goddess could only look up and widen her eyes in shock. After witnessing Old Ancestor's unrivaled magnificence, she's now giddily rushing over to wag her tail and beg for mercy."

Wu Yi tapped her armrest with a finger and said, "This explanation... does make some sense."

Everyone instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Even the elderly immortals who were on slightly bad terms with the old cultivator couldn't help but silently praise him in their minds.
