nThe first to arrive at Dragon Tiger Sect were the cultivators of the Dark Ghost Sect.

nThe moment they arrived, everyone from Dark Ghost Sect caught sight of a boy standing at the entrance of Dragon Tiger Sect. With a stern expression, he blocked their path forward.

n“You’re not allowed to barge in here. Please make a detour.”

nTao Yao declared.

n“How did this child appear out of nowhere in this forest?”

nMany cultivators of Dark Ghost Sect had never seen Tao Yao before.

n“Look carefully, this is not a child, but a spirit that has turned into a fiend demon!”

nThe person who spoke was Dao Lord Black Leather who had headed to Ping Yang Town previously. He whispered to the Sect Master of Dark Ghost Sect, “Sect master, this boy protected Dao Lord Desolate Martial outside Ping Yang Town and did a great deed.”

nThe Sect Master of Dark Ghost Sect nodded and smiled at Tao Yao. “I’m the Sect Master of Dark Ghost Sect and I’m here to visit Dao Lord Desolate Martial. Could I trouble you to inform him?”

n“Not now. He’s still resting.”

nTao Yao shook his head and rejected without thinking.

nThe expression of the Sect Master of Dark Ghost Sect darkened.

nNo matter what, as a sect master with a noble status, it did not make sense for him to be rejected by a boy at the entrance when he was here to visit personally!

nHowever, he was extremely scheming and did not flare up.

nThe Sect Master of Dark Ghost Sect laughed still and asked, “May I know how long your young master will be resting?”

n“I don’t know.”

nTao Yao shook his head.

nThe Sect Master of Dark Ghost Sect frowned.

nA Dharma Characteristic Dao Lord at the side could not stand it and stood out, harrumphing coldly. “Kid, Dark Ghost Sect is an upper sect of the North Region. Who do you think you are? How dare you make the decision on your own! If we ask you to report it, head over quickly! Don’t waste time!”

n“So what if you’re an upper sect?”

nTao Yao pouted. “Dragon Tiger Sect was an upper sect as well but they were still destroyed by our young master!”

n“You… ”

nThe Dharma Characteristic Dao Lord was speechless for a moment and was enraged. He said coldly, “What a glib tongue you have. I’ll punish you on behalf of your young master today!”

n“You want to fight?”

nTao Yao was instantly on guard as he glared at everyone from Dark Ghost Sect.

n“Back down!”

nRight then, the Sect Master of Dark Ghost Sect hollered with a dark expression.

n“Sect master, he’s just a child…”

n“Scram! Don’t come out and embarrass yourself!”

nThe Dharma Characteristic Dao Lord wanted to argue but was lambasted by the Sect Master of Dark Ghost Sect. With an embarrassed expression, he retreated.

nThe Sect Master of Dark Ghost Sect took a deep breath and turned around. The gloominess on his face dissipated significantly as he revealed a smile. “It’s fine. Since Dao Lord Desolate Martial is resting, we’ll wait outside here.”

n“Once your young master is awake, can I trouble you to inform him?”

nThe Dark Ghost Sect cultivators were stunned.

nTheir sect master had a dark temperament and had never smiled before, let alone speak with such a gentle tone.

n“Of course.”

nTao Yao nodded and did not reject the request.

nThe Sect Master of Dark Ghost Sect chuckled dryly and waved his hand, retreating with the group of cultivators to rest outside Dragon Tiger Sect.

n“Sect master, if Desolate Martial were to rest for half a month, would we have to wait here for so long as well?”

n“Isn’t Desolate Martial way too cocky?!”

n“Sect master, we can give Desolate Martial some face, but there’s no need for us to show weakness to a mere child!”

nMany cultivators of Dark Ghost Sect were indignant.

nThe Sect Master of Dark Ghost Sect shook his head gently. “I heard that this child is extremely close to Desolate Martial and must not be provoked! Once the Dao is obtained, even fowls and dogs can ascend to the heavens, let alone the Dao child of Desolate Martial.”

nBefore long, cultivators of Blood Mist Sect arrived at the entrance of Dragon Tiger Sect but were similarly rejected by Tao Yao.

nSimilar to the Sect Master of Dark Ghost Sect, the Sect Master of Blood Mist Sect did not barge in and retreated after chatting for a while.

nDragon Tiger Sect was destroyed the moment they barged into Ping Yang Town.

nNone of them dared to attempt the same!

nBefore long, cultivators of Seven Kills Sect and Yuwen Clan arrived at Dragon Tiger Sect as well.

nSimilar to Dark Ghost Sect and Blood Mist Sect, the sect masters of Seven Kills Sect and Yuwen Clan were not angered after Tao Yao rejected them. Instead, they chose to wait outside the sect.

nBefore noon, half of the ten upper sects of the North Region had arrived!

nThree of the four gentry clans had arrived as well.

nThe masters of both aristocratic families had arrived!

nThese upper sect masters and aristocratic family masters were existences that would cause a stir in the North Region with a single stomp of their feet. Yet, they were waiting obediently outside the Dragon Tiger Sect right now!

nAlthough the upper sect masters and aristocratic family masters were given the cold shoulder and exchanged glances, all of them had a tacit understanding and none of them mocked the other.

nAlmost all of them had offended Su Zimo in the past.

nNow that Su Zimo had entered the Dharma Characteristic realm and destroyed Dragon Tiger Sect, the situation was set in stone. In order to resolve their past grudges, they could only pay a personal visit!

nNoon had just passed.

nStellar Luna Sect, Murong aristocratic family and other sects and factions had arrived as well.

nAll the upper sects and aristocratic families of the cultivation world of the North Region were gathered outside Dragon Tiger Sect!

n“Even in the ancient era, there shouldn’t be any Dharma Characteristic Dao Lord that had the entire world paying respects the moment they entered the Dharma Characteristic realm, right?”

nThe Sect Master of Stellar Luna Sect lamented.

n“That’s right.”

nAn elder at the side said, “However, this is quite a bit of pressure for Desolate Martial as well! After all, he’s facing almost the entire cultivation world of the North Region!”

n“That’s right. No matter how strong Dao Lord Desolate Martial is and how he can flatten Dragon Tiger Sect, there’s no way he can go against all the nine upper sects, four gentry clans and two aristocratic families!”

n“This gathering of warriors from all over is a test for Dao Lord Desolate Martial as well. Let’s see how he reacts.”

nMany elders of Stellar Luna Sect discussed softly.

nRight then, a calm voice sounded from Dragon Tiger Sect. When it entered the ears of the cultivators outside the sect, it was neither loud nor soft but extremely clear!

n“Everyone, it’s been a long wait. Come on in.”

nThe initial clamor outside the sect quietened down!

nTao Yao was invigorated and declared, “Young master is awake. Follow me.”

nThe group of them heaved a sigh of relief.

nUnder Tao Yao’s lead, the group of cultivators entered Dragon Tiger Sect and headed straight for the palace on Dragon Tiger Peak.

nThe palace of Dragon Tiger Sect was extremely huge and could accommodate tens of thousands of people with ease!

nThe moment the cultivators entered, they looked up instinctively and shuddered with shock in their eyes!

nAt that moment, a green-robed cultivator sat in the main hall. His black hair fell to his shoulders and his eyes were deep, emanating a powerful aura as though he was one with the world.

nTao Yao had already returned to his spot and was standing side by side with Nian Qi behind the green-robed cultivator.

nBoth of them looked young and were like a pair of Dao children, standing guard beside the green-robed cultivator.

nThe cultivators were stunned when they saw that.

nLegend has it that behind some immortals in the immortal world, there were male and female Dao children that cultivated the Dao, known as the golden couple.

nThis scene was extremely similar to the legends of the immortal world!

nWhat sort of characters were the leaders of the nine upper sects, four gentry clans and two aristocratic families?

nOnce gathered, they would naturally form a powerful aura!

nBut now that they entered the hall, they were suppressed by the aura of the green-robed cultivator and lowered their heads instinctively, not daring to meet his gaze!
