Top enlightenment at 100 years old-Chapter 587 - 586: Threats and Showdown
Upon hearing Immortal Qi Hong’s words, the families present who possessed Immortal Treasures all looked rather displeased.
No one here is a fool. The idea of temporarily lending Immortal Treasures is laughable. To take it seriously would indeed be foolish.
As a result, the scene instantly fell into an eerie silence.
None of the families possessing Immortal Treasures spoke up.
Clearly, no one was willing to be the scapegoat.
Moreover, the matter of lending Immortal Treasures was not something anyone present could decide.
Seeing that no one expressed a stance, the smile on Immortal Qi Hong’s face gradually faded.
Beside him, the Upper Realm Immortal, who maintained a dignified demeanor, suddenly let out a cold snort.
In an instant, the aura of a Ninth-rank Immortal spread throughout.
The entire hall seemed to be under the weight of Mount Tai, stifling everyone’s breath.
Especially in the areas occupied by the Seven-Colored Peacock Race, Celestial Phoenix Race, Taichong Sacred Land, and Ten Thousand Laws Sacred Land, flashes of lightning flickered in the air.
This was a blatant threat.
Then the Upper Realm Immortal suddenly spoke: "It seems everyone still has concerns about Daoist Qi Hong’s proposal.
In that case, please send word back to your sects and clans to inform them of this matter.
As for those present, we ask you to be our guests for a while.
Once the Immortal Treasures required by us are brought from your sects and clans, you may return without haste."
As these words fell, the Seven-Colored Peacock Race, Celestial Phoenix Race, Taichong Sacred Land, along with Taixu Bai and Beidou Saint Monarch, all wore somber expressions.
What was this?
Were they being detained?
Or were they to be used as hostages to threaten their sects and clans?
Wasn’t this method rather unsophisticated?
At this time, a Mahayana from the Celestial Phoenix Race spoke up.
"Three Celestials, isn’t there something inappropriate about this matter that Upper Realm Immortal mentioned?
We have important matters to attend to and cannot afford to remain here as guests for the time being."
A Mahayana from the Seven-Colored Peacock Race immediately echoed.
"Indeed, we’ve already left many things unattended to come here, and we hope the three Celestials can understand."
"Hmm..."
As the Mahayana of the Celestial Phoenix Race and Seven-Colored Peacock Race began to speak, the eyes of the Upper Realm Immortal and Immortal Qi Hong suddenly narrowed slightly.
An aura far beyond that of Mahayana instantly permeated the entire hall.
At this moment, everyone felt a tremendous chill within.
Indeed.
There was an enormous gap between a Ninth-rank Immortal and a Tier Eight Mahayana.
It was a force that ordinary Tier Eight Mahayanas could not withstand.
"I advise you all to reconsider.
After all, we are all working for the Sect Hierarchs of the Upper Realm.
Moreover, while leaving this hall is easy, returning to your sects and clans will not be so simple."
These words laid everything out in the open.
The Upper Realm Immortal and Immortal Qi Hong were no longer hiding their true intentions.
Their purpose was undoubtedly the Immortal Treasures belonging to the families.
After all, these were treasures not even they, true Immortals, possessed.
In their eyes, it was a waste for such treasures to fall into the hands of mere mortals not yet Immortals.
"Junior Brother Bai..."
Beidou Saint Monarch’s expression was exceedingly grave at this point.
Even before coming here, he had an uneasy premonition.
This premonition was indeed coming true.
Fortunately.
Taixu Bai remained relatively composed.
He exchanged a glance with the others possessing Immortal Treasures.
Then he stood up and spoke to the Upper Realm Immortal and Immortal Qi Hong:
"I apologize, two Celestials, but I have matters to attend to within my sect.
If there is nothing else, I shall take my leave."
"Heh, in that case, Junior Brother Taixu Bai, I shall accompany you."
Suddenly, Dongyue Saint Master on the other side spoke up.
His involvement in the matter surprised many present.
Everyone present was well acquainted with Dongyue Saint Master.
He was a formidable force indeed.
Years ago, in the Mahayana realm, he was unmatched.
Even if he hadn’t broken through to Immortal, no one dared underestimate him.
The Upper Realm Immortal and Immortal Qi Hong had certainly been briefed on Dongyue Saint Master after descending to the Lower Realm.
At this moment, seeing Dongyue Saint Master getting involved deepened their expression.
At this time, those from the Seven-Colored Peacock Race, Celestial Phoenix Race, Taichong Sacred Land, etc., also began to speak up.
"We’re truly sorry, senior Immortals, but we have urgent matters to attend to, so we won’t be staying longer."
With these words, Taixu Bai and others finally turned and walked out of the alliance hall.
"Patriarch..."
Seeing this, Liu Tong of the True Imperial Sect could not help but look towards the Upper Realm Immortal.
In the Upper Realm Immortal’s eyes, there was now a distinct coldness.
Suddenly.
He spoke slowly: "Why won’t these people listen?
I already mentioned that while leaving this hall is simple, returning to their sects and clans is not.
After all, we are not the only Upper Realm Immortals here in the Lower Realm.
They are capable of anything."
At this moment, those who remained felt a chill throughout their bodies.
They suddenly realized that these Upper Realm Immortals were not as noble as initially thought.
Only Ye Hua, with a indifferent glance at the two Immortals, turned and left with her Night Moon Elf Race.
This scene only further confirmed some people’s suspicions.
"Daoist Shangzhen..."
Then Immortal Qi Hong looked meaningfully in the direction Ye Hua and her group had left.
"Daoist Ye Hua seems to be in quite a hurry; could she be going to...?"
"No."
The Upper Realm Immortal also looked in the direction Ye Hua and her group had disappeared, speaking slowly:
"There’s no need to mind her. We should do what we want to do."
