Chapter 939: Chapter 769 The Terrifying Human Relationships of Taiching Palace!_3

The Taoist School was established this year, with everyone bustling about and forming alliances, expelling demons from all realms, yet only their Star River Valley seemed to stand alone, as if forgotten by the world.

In the Star River Valley, more than a dozen Earth Immortals were even more anxious than the others.

Because they had received clear news that the Patriarch had suddenly perished in South Spirit a year ago, and his death was extremely peculiar.

This had caused the people of Star River Valley to not only confine their sect members to their homes over the past year but also to be always in fear.

"It’s almost certain now that the one from Spirit Suppressing Realm is indeed a reincarnation of a Taiching Guru. In recent days, he has completed the reorganization of the Spirit Suppressing Realm and reentered the Taiching Palace. I’ve heard he even caused quite a stir, with a Profound Immortal recognizing him as a master on the spot!"

"Are we worrying over nothing? It’s been a year, if anything was to happen, it would have happened by now."

"No, even if that Guru has forgotten, the disciples from Taiching will remind him. After all, we were not exactly cordial in the beginning!"

"Indeed, if they really didn’t care, would we be left hanging until now? You know, some of the temples and Taoist temples on Divine Land below have already started taking sides. Among those of our level, we are the only ones left unattended and uncared for."

"What if we contact the Taiching Palace or other palaces and submit to them?"

"No use. The attitude from the Taiching side is almost explicitly clear: ’Wait’."

"Wait for what?"

"What else could it be, wait for judgment."

"On what grounds, we haven’t committed any heinous crimes."

"When the Patriarch sent people to the Spirit Suppressing Realm to take someone, why didn’t you ask on what grounds we had the right to decide life and death? Junior Brother, don’t be too naive."

"But, but we were there to invite someone."

"Do you believe that yourself?"

"The Patriarch······ has he really perished?"

"According to the news from the disciples below, it’s true. And······ the one who emerged eight or nine years ago, may not be our Patriarch at all."

"······"

Everyone discussed these gloomy possibilities with heavy hearts, but unfortunately, they came to no conclusions.

They all knew that, given their current situation, they could only passively wait for that Guru to declare their destiny.

The cause of all this was their dispatch of people to the Spirit Suppressing Realm years ago, attempting with a similar mindset to decree the destiny of that Guru.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t succeed back then and now they are just like the ants they perceived back then, waiting passively – they don’t even have the privilege to inquire proactively.

Moreover, it is likely that someone from the Taiching Palace is doing this intentionally.

But it might not be instructed by those above, it is more likely just a deliberate act of those handling the matter.

Their intention is simply to make them suffer the consequences, to allow them to reap what they have sown, as a way to curry favor with that identity.

All of these scenarios are clear to them; if they were in charge, they would probably do the same.

But when it’s their turn, everything is completely different!

In the midst of their gloominess, everyone suddenly froze in surprise. They then looked at each other with shocked faces for a moment before rushing out of the Great Hall.

······

Since Wang Zijia had just arrived in the Central Immortal Domain and had not started to set up his plans yet, he hadn’t placed information disciples everywhere, even his Demon Seeding disciples hadn’t dispersed.

Therefore, Wang Zijia couldn’t travel through the Chaotic Sea of Knowledge like he could in South Spirit or East Wilderness, where he had Demon Seeding disciples as anchor points. He could only be wherever the Chaotic Sea of Knowledge could shuttle him to.

So Wang Zijia could only take Lei Ting with him, drive the Immortal Carriage from Taiching Palace, and fly all the way to Star River Valley.

The floating island continent of Star River Valley had very peculiar scenery. Due to the rich star-minerals, its colors were deep and profound.

And when water streams passed through some of the minerals, they became a very dark and deep blue, twinkling with specks of starlight.

The continent itself had an abundance of rivers, which made it seem from above that the night sky, full of stars, had fallen into the rivers.

The entire landmass was tall on both sides but lowered in the middle, like a canyon or a great plain.

Thus, it was named the Star River Valley!

It took Wang Zijia almost an hour, with Lei Ting at full speed, to arrive at his destination.

At the edge of the continent, he hovered in the air for a moment, surveying this group of floating islands.

Then he signaled to Lei Ting to drive the Immortal Carriage towards the center of the continent.

Understanding Wang Zijia’s instructions, Lei Ting fully powered the Immortal Carriage, spreading a sky full of divine rainbows and auroras. With an impressive uproar, they headed straight for the heart of the continent.

Their attitude could be described as extremely arrogant, similar to how the other party had visited Wanyu Sect in the past.

They were fast, but because they made such a big commotion, countless monks below reacted.

Yet, no one dared to stop them because on the Immortal Carriage, the symbols of the Taiching Palace were conspicuously visible.

Moreover, the two Celestial Immortals at the front of the Immortal Carriage were not only unreserved, but they were also very ostentatious.

Their terrifying fluctuations made the disciples uneasy.

In these times, constantly receiving warnings from the Patriarchs, the cautious disciples of Star River Sect immediately realized that today was probably the day their destiny would be determined.

Under the watchful eyes of countless disciples, the Immortal Carriage, with its awe-inspiring might, directly rushed to the core airspace of Star River Sect’s Sect base and hovered over everyone’s heads.

However, even so, the Protecting Sect Array showed no sign of activation.

Not only that, as soon as the Immortal Carriage arrived, all the Earth Immortals of Star River Valley rushed out of the Great Hall. They gathered above the Great Hall and respectfully greeted Wang Zijia, who stood on the edge of the Immortal Carriage overlooking them:

"The disciples of Star River Sect below, welcome the arrival of the noble emissary from the higher sect to inspect our sect!"

"Welcome, the emissary!"

"Welcome, the Exalted Immortal!"

"Welcome, the Immortal Venerate!"

"······"

As the various Immortal Venerates from Star River Valley paid their respects, countless disciples of Star River Sect below also conducted grand salutations. Those in the know were tense, while those unaware were full of excitement.

······

Wang Zijia stood on the edge of the Immortal Carriage, hands behind his back, as the breeze caused his hair and clothes to flutter slightly.

The terrifying pressure of a Celestial Immortal, like the aura of a banished celestial, filled everyone with trepidation.

Especially since his expression was calm at the moment, his eyes coldly overlooking the sincerely respectful crowd below.

And particularly those eleven Earth Immortals.
