Chapter 864: Chapter 718: If your Patriarch wishes to invite us, let him come in person_2

Wang Zijia laughed at their audacity, for he could understand the attitude of these two men.

If they had indeed been looking for him for seven years, even without his Wanyu, their attitude could be considered quite courteous.

But...

Let alone the fact that Patriarch Star River had not shown himself for thirty thousand years, even if Patriarch Star River himself were present, or even came in person, Wang Zijia would not have to grovel.

Meeting the haughty with soft-spoken words, Wang Zijia also lost his patience and said with a smile that was not quite a smile, "What if I’m not willing?"

The attitude of Wang Zijia halted the two men.

Ruan Yunxi paused and said, "Do you think that because your family has an Earth Immortal, you have the confidence to act this way?"

"Absurd!" Sun Xiangnan was even more direct. After asserting his opinion, he seemed to lose patience and reached out to grab Wang Zijia with a swift motion.

This action conclusively confirmed their intention to capture him.

The sudden escalation alarmed Li Zhengfang and the others.

The next moment, they saw a gigantic hand rapidly enlarging before their eyes, as if it intended to seize them in its grasp.

"Bothersome!" Wang Zijia said indifferently, not moving an inch. "Lei Ting, teach them a lesson!"

Following Wang Zijia’s words, Lei Ting, who until then had not been very conspicuous, immediately took action.

Had it not been for Wang Zijia’s command, Lei Ting would have acted sooner given the attitude of the two men!

Therefore, when he did act, he was extremely discourteous, nearly exerting his full strength.

"Boom!"

As a colossal boom of thunder sounded, destructive lightning flickered from the void, striking the bewildered Earth Immortals.

An Earth Immortal stood little chance against a Celestial Immortal, let alone a Celestial Immortal of the late stage who specialized in the Great Dao of Lei Ting.

Not every monk had the means that Wang Zijia possessed.

The two Earth Immortals had no chance to resist at all. They could only reveal expressions of shock before being hit by the lightning.

"Boom!"

The onlookers watched as the previously arrogant Earth Immortals, upon making a sudden move, were struck down from the sky by a bolt of lightning, falling to the ground like meteorites.

In the end, they landed on the edge of Wanyu Sect, creating two gigantic craters in the ground.

"How did they start fighting all of a sudden!"

"You call this fighting?"

"At most, it’s a lesson!"

"Are those two who were taught a lesson really immortals?!"

"My word, the Red Sun Immortal Venerable truly lives up to his reputation as a reincarnated guru. With just a glare, two immortals couldn’t withstand it," someone started a rumor on the spot.

"Are you blind? It was the person behind the Immortal Venerable who took action!"

"I heard he’s called Lei Ting, quite a fitting title indeed."

"I knew an Immortal’s entourage would also consist of immortals!"

"Alas, it seems I’ve lost even the chance to be a tea-serving child at White peach peak!"

"Wake up, you first need to be capable enough to enter the Jade Talisman pulse before dreaming about serving tea, not to mention the Crossing Tribulation Major Repairs who came to our sect from the Welcoming Guests Institute."

"Alas, why didn’t I join the Jade Talisman pulse and get into White peach peak earlier?!"

"..."

The sudden change in the sky immediately distracted the disciples below, who were initially solemn and surprised, causing a burst of commotion.

"Gulp!"

The disciples of the Etiquette Institute unconsciously swallowed hard, looking at Lei Ting in astonishment.

Even Li Zhengfang and Zhang Decheng, who knew Lei Ting was a Celestial Immortal, were somewhat astonished, finally understanding some of the meaning of ’Celestial Immortal’.

Wang Zijia paid no attention to the crowd and turned his gaze toward the other two Tribulation Crossing Cultivators who had come with the two Immortal Venerates.

These two had just risen from Wanyu City and then joined up with Sun Xiangnan and the other man.

Seeing Wang Zijia looking at them, they immediately snapped out of their daze, promptly gave a respectful bow, and said,

"Senior, please forgive us. We had no ill intentions, we were simply following the orders from our patriarch, hoping you would be willing to visit our Xinghe Valley!"

Wang Zijia frowned and said, "Star River’s Patriarch? Hasn’t he been missing for thirty thousand years?"

"Yes, my Patriarch. Our Patriarch emerged from seclusion over six years ago, and not long after that, he dispatched us to seek the Senior." The disciple looked anxiously at the Lei Ting behind Wang Zijia and cautiously replied:

"We arrived in the Spirit Suppressing Realm more than six years ago, and after discovering the Senior’s disappearance, we have been searching and waiting for the Senior as instructed by our Patriarch. The two Martial Uncles meant no harm; they just wished to invite the Senior to our Sect for a visit!"

Seven years ago?

Could it be because of the great battle seven years ago, the emergence of Yun Lai?

But I haven’t heard that the Star River’s Patriarch was the old man from the East Desolate back then?

And certainly, the elder of East Desolate Taiqing Palace wouldn’t have this kind of attitude either.

Wang Zijia’s thoughts raced as he said, "What does your Patriarch want with me? I don’t recall having any connection with the Star River’s Patriarch!"

"The disciple is not sure. I’ve only received the message that we must ’by all means’ invite the Senior for a visit." The other party immediately replied.

Wang Zijia furrowed his brow and floated down to the edge territories of Wanyu Sect.

The dust had yet to settle from the two large pits below.

With a wave of his hand, Wang Zijia made a breeze blow by, clearing away the dust.

The two broken, charred pits were revealed, still flickering with electricity inside; the two who were previously arrogant were still twitching in the pits.

Their bodies had multiple scorched and cracked areas, showing they were severely injured.

Clearly, Lei Ting’s recent attack was far from gentle. With a full-force strike from a Celestial Immortal, the fact that they hadn’t bitten the dust showed they had some skill.

Hmm, Lei Ting likely held back as well!

The two men, who were still convulsing, immediately struggled to climb up with difficulty after noticing Wang Zijia and Lei Ting floating down.

As they moved, more cracks appeared in parts of their charred bodies, blood flowed out, and their bodies trembled slightly with the flickering lightning.

"We pay respect to the Senior!" The two of them greeted with difficulty.

Wang Zijia looked at them indifferently and said, "It looks like you’ve come to your senses. What does the Star River’s Patriarch want with me?"

"The little immortal is not sure, Patriarch only ordered us to invite you to Xinghe Valley to be our guest," the two said respectfully.

Wang Zijia’s eyebrows knit together slightly, then he asked a few more questions.

"Then be gone. If the Star River’s Patriarch truly has a matter to discuss, let him come find me himself. As for visiting your Xinghe Valley..."

At this point, Wang Zijia paused, looked at the two and said, "I have no plans to visit the Central Immortal Domain anytime soon!"

"We obey the decree, we shall leave immediately!"

The two arrived with great arrogance, but now left in a hasty retreat, carrying the Immortal Shelf and two disciples with tails between their legs.

It was somewhat comical.

······

"There won’t be any trouble because of this, right?" Zhang Decheng looked at the hurriedly departing duo and expressed his concern.

"What does Senior Brother think we should do then? Slaughter them for this offense, and thus declare war with a once first-class force from the Central Immortal Domain, a great Immortal Sect?" Wang Zijia asked in return.

"That’s not what I mean, I am saying..." Zhang Decheng paused, not knowing what else to say.

Indeed, what else could they do if they didn’t let them go?

Wang Zijia waved his hand, already aware of what the other was worried about, and reassured him, "Don’t worry, it’ll be fine. Below Profound Immortal, Lei Ting will not have any issues, there’s naturally nothing to fear."

"And Xinghe Valley has no Profound Immortals; even the existence of the only Celestial Immortal, Star River’s Patriarch, is uncertain."

"In comparison, once our Immortal Alliance is established and we control a realm, who has more influence might be up for debate..."

In his talk, Wang Zijia recounted the situation in Xinghe Valley again, and continued:

"Moreover, we haven’t made an enemy of them. Knowing that our Sect has a Celestial Immortal, the Star River’s Patriarch would have to be grateful after we only punished his two disciples in this way after such an affront!"

Having to thank someone after they’ve hit you is precisely the situation Wang Zijia found himself in now.

"That’s good, that’s good!" Li Zhengfang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Wang Zijia, saying, "Why don’t you temporarily take over the Sect? We can discuss further when Hai Ping emerges from seclusion..."

In these past days, Li Zhengfang had come to realize the growing disparity in viewpoint and cultivation between himself and Wang Zijia.

"Impossible!"

"No way!"

Zhang Decheng and Wang Zijia spoke simultaneously, exchanged glances, and Wang Zijia laughed, "I cannot suddenly take on any position in the Sect before the establishment of the Immortal Alliance."
