Chapter 720: Chapter 610: In the Spotlight_2

"Greetings to the Patriarch!"

With Li Jiantao’s words, a group of disciples behind him also respectfully bowed towards Wang Zijia.

Upon seeing the amusing scene of Daqian publicly recognizing the ancestor led by Wanyu, Wenren Shouqing promptly closed his mouth and spoke no more.

He watched quietly for Wanyu’s reaction.

Head Teacher Ding Haiping’s brows slightly knitted, but Zhang Decheng remained composed, showing no reaction at all.

Wang Zijia, being the center of everyone’s attention, just calmly said, "Let’s go down and chat. The host has invited us several times. It wouldn’t be polite to refuse."

Li Shenghui and Li Jiantao both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Wang Zijia didn’t put on a cold face.

After all, they knew their situation only too well. This person had never shown them any favor in the past. But now, it seemed that his heart was still softened towards Daqian.

"Indeed, we’ve been impolite!" Zhang Decheng also chimed in at this moment.

"Not at all, not at all. It’s a great honor to host such esteemed individuals from the various factions for a discussion in Liangzhou!" The old woman responded immediately, with a smile on her face.

"Would the esteemed guests like to rest? Please, this way!"

With her words, she led a group of disciples, enthusiastically guiding the way in front.

The people exchanged a glance before following her down.

The magic vehicles in the sky swiftly shrank and were collected by the leaders of the various groups.

······

Upon descending, Daqian’s group moved towards the right side of Wanyu. Li Shenghui and Li Jiantao even came to Wang Zijia, essentially mingling with Wanyu’s group.

Probably out of fear that they might say something inappropriate and cause an awkward situation, Li Shenghui didn’t take the opportunity to make conversation; he merely walked alongside him.

Flying Immortal’s group was on the left side of Wanyu.

Among the three groups, many people were secretly glancing at several Tribulation Crossing God Monarchs leading the teams with Wang Zijia, who had drawn a lot of attention with his Primordial Spirit cultivation, being the most eye-catching.

Nine Tribulations Chi Yang, the reincarnation of a Sword Immortal Prince, Ancient Immortal Venerate, Earth Immortal Path Great Cultivator, he helped his Lower Realm disciples ascend and helped others cross the tribulation. ······

A series of rumors had already adorned Wang Zijia with a saintly aura.

Those mysterious incidents, after being passed down, had become so exaggerated that they were almost like the legends of the ancient powers.

Because of Daqian’s attitude towards Wang Zijia at the start, Wanyu, which should have been at a disadvantage, seemed to be hinting at taking the lead this time.

As they were about to descend from the clouds and enter the Great Hall below, they suddenly stopped all at once and turned their heads to look at the sky.

They saw a pagoda shaped magic vehicle flying hurriedly over and hovering above them.

The next moment, two familiar figures, the Pavilion Master of the Wentian Pavilion Du Yudao, and the Great Elder Zhao Jianping, along with their disciples, hurried over.

On the surface, the Wentian Pavilion had sent out two Tribulation Crossing Great Cultivators, which was a show of their full strength.

"Pavilion Master Du’s grand entrance is quite impressive!" the Head Teacher Ding Haiping said in a calm and indifferent tone as he watched Du Yudao flying down in a hurry.

"Indeed, Pavilion Master Du really knows how to make an entrance!" Zhang Decheng also remarked coldly.

"I’m very sorry for the delay!" Du Yudao apologized with a smile.

"I heard that the Wentian Pavilion is capable of calculating everything, how could you encounter unexpected delays?" Wang Zijia’s seemingly surprised words were even sharper than Zhang Decheng and Ding Haiping’s.

After all, when it came to timing, the Three Sects were no match for the Wentian Pavilion.

Wasn’t Wentian Pavilion full of calculation cultivators!

Li Shenghui and Li Jiantao looked at the Wentian Pavilion’s group in surprise. It was clear that there’s tension between Wentian Pavilion and Wanyu.

Wenren Shouqing twitched his mouth while watching the standoffish attitudes of the three from Wanyu.

He was clearly aware of the reason.

The Two Factions had indeed acted somewhat inappropriately by pushing the Three Realms Temple to a corner.

It was only natural for them to hold a grudge!

While still wearing his smile, Du Yudao felt the hostility coming from Wang Zijia, a cultivator of the Primordial Spirit. He glanced coldly towards Wang Zijia and asked, "May I ask who this disciple is?"

Li Shenghui was worried that he wouldn’t get a chance to curry favor. Without waiting for Wang Zijia to intervene, he said, "About my Ninth Younger Brother, what’s the problem, Pavilion Master Du?"

"I’ve noticed that Pavilion Master Du’s temper has indeed become increasingly volatile these years. He arrived late, and wouldn’t even let us express concern!" Li Jiantao said in agreement.

"Really, such a temper!" Zhang Decheng jeered sarcastically.

Originally, Du Yudao just wanted to find an opportunity to alleviate the misunderstanding. He noticed that even the Yuan Shen Cultivators were making snide remarks about him. Before he could clearly see who they were, he wanted to react first.

As a result, he inexplicably stirred up a hornet’s nest.

After recognizing Wang Zijia, especially his striking white hair, how could they, who were in the Information Business, not know who he was?

It could be said that except for Wanyu’s own people, among those present, they had the most clear understanding of him.

Because of this clarity, he found it difficult to handle.

His face grew awkward as he turned to Wenren Shouqing apologetically, saying, "Brother Wenren, you have to help me out here! I truly was delayed by something important, it’s so embarrassing!"

Although Wenren Shouqing was unwilling to get involved, he did also bite into the meat last time, so he had to follow suit and laugh, "Hey, we’re here for the meeting, and it’s only just beginning. Why is it like this already?"

"Yes, yes, yes, we’re here to discuss the alliance. We can’t let there be any discord."

Du Yudao totally ignored Wang Zijia and chimed in. In his speech, he even looked to the old woman who stood like a log, and said as if he was the host:

"Granny Sun, is the banquet ready yet? Why are we all standing here?"

The hosts who sensed the tension and were reducing their presence were suddenly named.

The old woman could only face the music and immediately replied: "Everything’s ready. It’s been ready for a long time. We’re just waiting to welcome you all."

"Let’s go, let’s talk at the banquet. We’ll chat at the banquet!" Du Yudao placated.

Only then did everyone take their eyes off him and fly towards the Great Hall below.

······

"Why did you arrive at this time?" asked Wenren Shouqing with a quiet sigh of concern, which reflected his close relations, as everyone took their seats in the Great Hall.

"Don’t mention it. Right before departure, during our regular travel ceremony, the traditional divination took so long that it resulted in a delay." Du Yudao grumbled.

"What do you mean? Isn’t the alliance supposed to go ahead?" asked Wenren Shouqing, glancing at the Wanyu party taking their seats, with a surprised expression.

"It doesn’t mean that!" Du Yudao shook his head: "The Great Elder also planned to come, so with no one to defend our Sect, we traditionally divined our Sect’s safety for the journey."

"But there was no result for a long time, we thought something chaotic was about to happen in the Sect, so we hurriedly made preparations, only to find it was a false alarm."

"After so much of hustle, we barely made it in time, or we would have been late!"

Relieved by his words, Wenren Shouqing said: "As long as that’s not the case. It seems that the situation with Devil Gate is about to unify again. We also need to discuss a charter this time."

Du Yudao fell silent. Among those sitting, no one knew the dangers of the current situation of the Devil Gate better than him.

If he was not fully aware of the situation, and did not clearly know that when the last nest is overturned, no eggs will remain unbroken, why had his Wentian Pavilion even bothered to attend this busy event!!!

Despite being a neutral party.

While he usually played mediator, his Calculation Cultivators were after all cultivators of the Righteous Path; if the Devil Gate were to really unify the Spirit Suppressing Realm, would they be able to escape?

······

At the moment, everyone was being seated.

The design of the hall was quite interesting.

In a traditional hall, the high-side should be at the bottom, with guests on both sides, and a stage or aisle in the middle for performances or other events.

Similar to the banquets in the imperial palaces of ancient times or the banquets in Immortal Palaces.

However, this hall was different. It was clearly built hastily in response to the current situation.

The entire hall was circular, with no main VIP seats, but divided into four camps.

There was a table around each camp, and even the center positions were designated by tables, which were more luxurious, but no jade chair was intentionally arranged for.
