n“No wonder he’s so fearless. So, he has helpers.”

nDao Lord Lan Yue had a calm expression as she sneered, “Scarlet Star, you think that you’re able to take him away from me with just the three of you Dharma Characteristics?”

n“The three of us are enough.”

nDao Lord Scarlet Star turned around and looked at Dao Lord Lan Yue with a calm voice.

nDao Lord Lan Yue sneered once more. “This is Thousand Crane Sect. As long as I give the order, all three of you will have to stay here!”

n“Girl, you’re way too arrogant!”

nAmong the three of them, an old man with a walking stick stood out, exuding a dignified aura.

nAnother old man asked in a deep voice, “Girl, where’s your master?”

nDao Lord Lan Yue frowned and flicked her sleeves. “Who are you guys? Do you think my master is someone you can meet whenever you want?”

n“Elder Gu?”

nRight then, the Void Reversion of the Ancient Array Sect exclaimed in disbelief.

n“Yes,”

nThe old man nodded and looked at the Void Reversion of the Ancient Array Sect. “Little Monkey, is that you?”

n“It’s me, it’s me.”

nThe Void Reversion nodded humbly and hurried forward to greet with a bow.

nThis person had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. Little Monkey was a nickname for him that not many people knew of.

n“Grandpa Ge?”

nRight then, Tang Yu of Elixir Yang Sect exclaimed with widened eyes.

nTang Yu ran over to take a closer look and could not help but laugh. “Grandpa Ge, it’s really you. I didn’t dare to recognize you at first.”

n“Little Tang, how old are you already? Why do you still like to dress up like a boy?”

nThe elder with the surname Ge had a doting expression as he chuckled as well.

n“Grandpa Ge, aren’t you in seclusion? Why are you here?” Tang Yu asked curiously.

nThe elder with the surname Ge retracted his smile and said indifferently, “I’ve been in seclusion for a long time and my bones are a little rusty. It’s a good time for me to come out for a walk and meet an old friend.”

nDao Lord Lan Yue frowned slightly. For some reason, she suddenly felt uneasy.

nDao Lord Scarlet Star raised his voice. “Lan Yue, may I ask where Senior Shangguan is?”

n“I told you, my master is in seclusion!”

nDao Lord Lan Yue said coldly.

nDao Lord Scarlet Star harrumphed. “Lan Yue, I arrived before this tea party began because I had something to discuss with Senior Shangguan. However, you rejected me outright. What are your intentions?”

nIt was only then that Su Zimo, Nangong Ling and the others realized that Dao Lord Scarlet Star had already visited Thousand Crane Sect a few days ago.

nHowever, he did not manage to meet the person he wanted to and returned empty-handed.

n“I’m the sect master of Thousand Crane Sect. I can make the decision for everything here!”

nDao Lord Lan Yue’s gaze flickered as her voice turned colder. There was a hint of anger in her tone that could be released at any moment.

nElder Gu, who was leaning on his walking stick, said slowly, “Girl, tell Shangguan that her old friends from Elixir Yang Sect and Ancient Array Sect are here to visit and she will come out of seclusion.”

n“Old friends? Fufu,”

nDao Lord Lan Yue sneered, “Pardon me for being blunt. I’ve seen all of Master’s old friends, but I’ve never seen the two of you.”

n“We’ve known your master for thousands of years. At that time, you weren’t even around yet!” Elder Ge blew his beard impatiently.

nDao Lord Lan Yue’s expression darkened completely as she said coldly, “What a joke! If any random cultivator says that he’s an old friend of Master’s and wants to meet her, wouldn’t Master be annoyed to death?!”

n“Scarlet Star, I’ve been extremely tolerant on account that you guys are from the unorthodox groups as well. If you guys continue to push your luck, don’t blame me for being merciless!”

nDao Lord Lan Yue slapped her storage bag and threw a pink spirit crane into the air that turned into a streak of light.

nA gigantic crane appeared and cried into the skies!

nA crisp and clear crane cry echoed through Thousand Crane Sect.

nLeng Rou’s expression changed.

nThis was a signal for the Dharma Characteristic experts to gather. Apart from those in seclusion, everyone else could see it.

nBang! Bang! Bang!

nPowerful auras burst forth from all corners of Thousand Crane Sect as figures rushed towards this area.

nBefore long, dozens of Dharma Characteristic Dao Lords descended and surrounded the Mystic Courtyard with unfriendly expressions!

nThe immense pressure reverberated through the entire courtyard and many Nascent Souls present no longer dared to speak.

nWho would have thought that the Thousand Crane Tea Party would end up in such a situation where Dharma Characteristic experts were at odds!

nRight now, both parties were ready to fight at any moment!

n“Girl, what are you doing?

nElder Ge glared angrily and hollered in rage as he blew his beard, “How dare you try to attack us!”

n“Shangguan Zi, why aren’t you coming out?!”

nElder Gu’s eyes lit up and his walking stick landed heavily on the ground.

nBang! Boom! Boom!

nEndless lights burst forth from every corner of Thousand Crane Sect and shot into the skies. The terrain of the sect was changing!

n“Light of formation patterns?”

nSu Zimo muttered softly.

nThat was the sign of a massive formation being activated.

n“Hmm?”

nDao Lord Lan Yue’s expression changed starkly as she exclaimed, “The Sect Protection Formation!”

nThousand Crane Sect’s Sect Protection Formation would definitely not be activated unless it was absolutely necessary.

nShe had not expected that this unassuming old man before her would be able to activate Thousand Crane Sect’s Sect Protection Formation through thin air!

n“I was the one who set up Thousand Crane Sect’s Sect Protection Formation personally. How dare you attempt to lay your hands on me today, girl!” Elder Gu hollered with a booming voice.

nDozens of Dharma Characteristic Dao Lords of Thousand Crane Sect stood in midair and exchanged glances, looking hesitant.

nFrom the looks of it, the old man had a powerful background and none of them dared to attack rashly.

nOnce the Sect Protection Formation was activated, even those in seclusion would be alarmed!

nBoom!

nRight then, a loud bang sounded from the depths of Thousand Crane Sect.

nA powerful aura burst forth. Against that aura, all the Dharma Characteristic Dao Lords present were as insignificant as ants.

nConjoint Body Mighty Figure!

nOnly someone at the Conjoint Body realm could release such a terrifying aura!

n“Who’s calling me?”

nIn the blink of an eye, a figure arrived above the Mystic Courtyard, as though it was one with the world.

nNo one could figure out how the person arrived; it was as though she had appeared out of thin air.

nIt was a woman who looked even younger than Dao Lord Lan Yue. Her black hair fluttered and she was extremely beautiful. Her skin was fair and her eyes were filled with a mighty aura of indifference!

n“Master!”

nWhen Dao Lord Lan Yue saw that person, her expression changed and she bowed hurriedly with her head lowered, her eyes filled with endless fear.

n“Hehe, Shangguan, you’re still so young.”

nElder Gu gave a strange chuckle.

nShangguan Zi shifted her gaze. When she saw Elder Gu, she smiled and said, “After crossing that step, my lifespan was extended so I naturally seem much younger now.”

nAt that point, the crowd no longer had any doubts.

nThe newcomer was a Conjoint Body Mighty Figure!

nShangguan Zi landed in the courtyard and looked at the two old men. She scolded them jokingly, “Are you two old fools tired of living? Why did you come over to my place to create such a huge ruckus?”

nAlthough Shangguan Zi was cursing, her eyes revealed the joy of reuniting with old friends.

n“Really, if you guys wanted to meet me, all you had to do was inform Lan Yue. Why go to the extent of activating the Sect Protection Formation?” Shangguan Zi shook her head helplessly.

n
