Chapter 1046: One thousand and forty-four, Invitation

Situ Youming’s slender fingers lightly tapped on the armrest of his chair, his face thoughtful. After a long pause, he finally spoke slowly: "Where are they now?" From Elder Li’s words, he was certain the other party harbored secrets.

"They’re at the Fragrant Snow Inn in Mysterious Heavenly City. I’ve already sent people to watch them," Elder Li replied. To prevent Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo from escaping, he had ordered his men to keep an eye on them constantly, reporting any sign of movement immediately.

Situ Youming nodded approvingly. "Besides us from Great Mahayana Island, are there any other sects monitoring them?" What they could think of, other sects would likely consider as well.

"Only the Sky Water Sect," Elder Li said. No other sects in the Earth Realm had gotten involved. He wondered whether the sects in the Heaven Realm, upon learning about it, might also develop an interest in Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo. The speed at which their cultivation had advanced was unprecedented, even among the prodigies of the Heaven Realm.

Situ Youming looked toward Elder Wu. "Elder Wu, take twenty disciples at the Immortal Emperor level and accompany Elder Li to the inn. Invite them to come here. If they refuse to comply, bring back their corpses."

"Understood!" Elder Wu responded.

"Sect Master, if the Sky Water Sect’s people happen to also show up, what should we do?" Elder Li asked.

Situ Youming deliberated briefly. "Then each takes one." The strength of Great Mahayana Island was slightly weaker than that of the Sky Water Sect, so he certainly wouldn’t risk offending them.

At the same time, Elder Guo was also reporting this matter to Dongfang Sheng, the Sect Master of the Sky Water Sect.

After hearing Elder Guo’s report, Dongfang Sheng pondered for a moment before saying, "Elder Guo, you and Elder Tian take ten disciples and go to the inn to invite them here. I wish to meet them myself." He wanted to see just how extraordinary this Lu Hanmo and Luo Shu were.

Not long after Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo returned to the inn, the innkeeper knocked on their door, saying someone downstairs wanted to see them.

When they came downstairs, they saw Elder Guo and Elder Li, along with two unfamiliar elder men, sitting in the inn’s main hall, watching them.

"Luo Shu, Lu Hanmo, I am here to invite you to the Sky Water Sect as guests," Elder Guo said directly, standing up and getting straight to the point.

"I share the same intention as Elder Guo. You can choose for yourselves—one of you can head to the Sky Water Sect, and the other to Great Mahayana Island," Elder Li said with a kind smile.

"We have no connections with Great Mahayana Island or the Sky Water Sect, nor do we wish to create any. You may as well leave now—we aren’t going anywhere," Luo Shu said. Did they think they were someone important? Why should they dictate where they went?

"This is the Heaven Realm, not the Earth Realm. It’s better to recognize when to back down. Otherwise, you’re bound to suffer for it," Elder Li said menacingly.

Lu Hanmo’s cold gaze swept over him. "Are you threatening us?"

Elder Li immediately felt an overwhelming pressure, as though a heavy stone was pressing on his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"I... I didn’t mean it that way..." Cold sweat dripped from Elder Li’s forehead. Lu Hanmo’s strength had grown several times stronger since they were in the Earth Realm.

Seeing this, Elder Wu released his own aura, intending to suppress Lu Hanmo, but instead, he was overpowered by Lu Hanmo’s aura. At the same time, he felt a metallic taste in his throat and almost spat out blood. Such immense power! This Lu Hanmo could not possibly still be at the level of an Immortal Emperor; otherwise, he wouldn’t possess such an overwhelming aura.

"I don’t care what you mean. We are not going to Great Mahayana Island or the Sky Water Sect. Leave now, please!" Lu Hanmo’s voice was as sharp and icy as the wind, sending chills down everyone’s spine.

"Dear friends, our Sky Water Sect sincerely wishes to invite you as guests. We mean no harm. Please show us some goodwill," Elder Guo said earnestly, his face full of sincerity as he looked at Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo. Despite their seemingly Immortal Emperor-level cultivation, the pair exuded an indescribable pressure.

"Not interested!" Luo Shu sneered coldly. Guests? Only a fool would believe that.

Lu Hanmo reached out, took Luo Shu’s hand, and began climbing the stairs with her.

"Wait! Are you ignoring the toast and asking for punishment instead?" Elder Tian, standing beside Elder Guo, spoke coldly. "You arrogant juniors, don’t think that your strength makes you invincible. In the eyes of the Sky Water Sect, you’re nothing more than ants. Be obedient and come with us, lest we have to use force."

"So, you’re resorting to coercion now?" Luo Shu paused her steps, looking at them with amusement.

"We extended courtesy, but you refuse it. That leaves us no choice but to take a tougher stance," Elder Tian said with a stern face. The Sky Water Sect was the top sect in the Heaven Realm; how could they allow two juniors to trample over their dignity?

"Then go ahead and try," Lu Hanmo said coldly.

"Fine! Let’s see what you’re capable of. Enter!" Elder Tian shouted to the disciples outside the door. Even if it required force, he would bring them back today. They needed to learn that the authority of the Sky Water Sect was not to be challenged.

Elder Li, seeing this, was about to call in the disciples from Great Mahayana Island, but Elder Wu stopped him.

"Let’s observe for now," Elder Wu said. For some reason, he had a feeling that the ones suffering losses this time might not be Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo.

Elder Li looked at Elder Wu in confusion. "What if they’re taken away by the Sky Water Sect?" If they didn’t act now and Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo were captured by the Sky Water Sect, they wouldn’t even have an excuse to intervene. Who could they blame but themselves for failing to act?

"They may not necessarily lose to the Sky Water Sect," Elder Wu replied. Their composure and confidence were too striking, as if everything was within their control.

"The Sky Water Sect brought Immortal Emperors this time," Elder Li said with a frown. Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo might be strong, but they were only two against many, with comparable cultivation levels. Winning seemed nearly impossible.

"We’ll intervene once they’re at a disadvantage," Elder Wu said. Rushing in now wasn’t ideal. It would be better to assess Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo’s capabilities further before making a move.

Outside, ten disciples from the Sky Water Sect charged in, surrounding Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo.

"I’ll give you one more chance. Are you coming or not?" Elder Tian glared at Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo with a grim expression. If they refused, he intended to act immediately.

"You all may come at once," Lu Hanmo said coldly.

With a cold snort, Elder Tian waved his hand at the disciples. "Take them!" Some people wouldn’t learn their place without being taught a lesson.
