Chapter 1354: Solo Attendance
The thin daoist priest took a step forward as he spoke, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared outside the eastern heavenly gate.
All of the Heavenly Court's forces were instilled with a sense of great confidence at the sight of the daoist priest, and they greeted collectively in a thunderous voice that shook the heavens, "Welcome, Patriarch Qing Qiu..."
That unremarkable daoist temple was the Heaven Guard Pavilion of the Eastern Victory Continent, while the thin daoist priest was the Dao Ancestor that had been stationed here.
"Sorry for not arranging a more elaborate welcome for an esteemed guest like yourself," Daoist Master Qing Qiu said as he cupped his in a salute rather than extending a daoist salute.
"There's no need for that. It's not like I'm welcome here anyway," the Reincarnation Palace Master said with a smile.
"We had predicted that you would attack the Southern Heavenly Gate or the Western Heavenly Gate, so you've really caught me off guard here," Daoist Master Qing Qiu admitted with an awkward smile.
"That was a reasonable prediction to make. If I were planning to force my way to the Heavenly Court, then those two heavenly gates would indeed be better options to attack. However, seeing as I'm here as a guest, it's best for me to go through your Eastern Heavenly Gate," the Reincarnation Palace Master explained.
"Thankfully, I did make some preparations in advance. A carriage has already been prepared, would you like to come with me?" Daoist Master Qing Qiu offered with a smile.
"Please lead the way, Fellow Daoist Qing Qiu," the Reincarnation Palace Master replied.
Daoist Master Qing Qiu was just about to turn and lead the way when he suddenly faltered slightly before asking, "You're not bringing your entourage with you?"
"There's no need for that. I am the Heavenly Court's sole target, so I won't endanger any members of my entourage," the Reincarnation Palace Master replied with a nonchalant smile.
