Chapter 94

"Lin Shixiong, over here! Over here! Hurry up!"

The little girl immediately waved excitedly at Lin Xi.

"Huh? Divine Night Sect?!"

On the opposite side of the crowd, the disciples of Doulv Palace and Taiyi Sect heard clearly and knew that Lin Xi was a disciple of the Divine Night Sect. Their expressions changed slightly.

The Divine Night Sect was different from the Beidou Palace. The former's strength and influence far surpassed the latter. Even Doulv Palace couldn't claim to be able to suppress the Divine Night Sect.

One Beidou Palace, Doulv Palace, and Taiyi Sect's influence could still be managed. But if the Beidou Palace and the Divine Night Sect joined forces, the outcome would be uncertain.

"There's no need to worry. He's just a minor registered disciple and doesn't represent the Divine Night Sect. Send someone to make him leave!"

Zhou Keli, the leader of Doulv Palace's expedition, flicked his fingernail and said calmly. His gaze didn't even glance at Lin Xi.

"What? A registered disciple?"

The crowd only then noticed that Lin Xi was indeed wearing the attire of a registered disciple of the Divine Night Sect.

"Shixiong Lin, you're finally here."

The little girl from Beidou Palace rushed over, hugging one of Lin Xi's arms, very affectionately. Her personality was cheerful and lively, and in a few words, she recounted the entire story.

It turned out that Jian Yaobai and the others had originally planned to wait for Lin Xi in the Black Dragon Hills. The six of them chose the weakest Black Dragon Beast, and after much effort, they managed to kill this peak First Stage Cultivation Black Dragon Beast, completing the sect's mission.

They split into two groups; one group waited for Lin Xi in the Dragon Beast Hills, while the other went to the Black Dragon Graveyard to complete another sect mission.

Unexpectedly, during the mission, they discovered a Qi Immortal Realm Black Dragon that had just laid a dragon egg. Normally, encountering such a level of Black Dragon would mean certain death. However, this time, it actually let them go to protect the dragon egg.

Although the Beidou Palace disciples were not very powerful, they were knowledgeable. They knew that killing a Qi Immortal Realm Black Dragon could produce longevity-enhancing pills.

Such pills were rare in any sect. Moreover, the dragon egg, rich in life force, could also increase one's lifespan.

Without hesitation, they split into two groups; one stayed to guard the site, while the other hurried to inform the sect.

No sect would ever have too many longevity-enhancing pills. Immortal sects had policies to encourage such discoveries: anyone who found such items, even if they did nothing but inform the sect, would receive a large amount of sect merit points!

Jian Yaobai and the others naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity!

Soon, Beidou Palace sent experts. It was at this time that Jian Yaobai and the others, who were guarding the Black Dragon Graveyard, encountered the disciples of Taiyi Sect and Doulv Palace, leading to a standoff.

"Shixiong Lin, you must judge this! This Qi Immortal Realm Black Dragon was discovered by us. The people from Doulv Palace and Taiyi Sect are bullying us, trying to snatch it away. How can such a thing happen in this world!"

The little girl looked indignant.

"Oh?"

Lin Xi seemed to be thinking, raised his head, and glanced at the people from Taiyi Sect and Doulv Palace.

"Nonsense!"

Suddenly, one of the Doulv Palace disciples stepped forward and harshly rebuked her:

"You little girl, you're lying! This Qi Immortal Realm Black Dragon was clearly discovered by Doulv Palace using the Heavenly Calculation Technique. How did it become your discovery? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart."

This person was just a First Stage Cultivation outer sect disciple, but he spoke harshly in front of three Beidou Palace Divine Spirit Realm experts, treating them as if they were nothing, and his arrogance was extreme.

"Nonsense! Does the Heavenly Calculation Technique mean that whatever it calculates belongs to you? If it were that simple, wouldn't all the treasures in the world belong to Doulv Palace! The Immortal Dao world has long established that whoever discovers something first has the right to claim it. If discovered simultaneously, it's a matter of ability. Why should this Black Dragon belong to you? Does Doulv Palace have no shame?"

The little girl's counterattack was quite sharp.

"Slap!"

Zhou Keli, the leader of Doulv Palace, flashed a cold light in his eyes. Before anyone could react, the little girl's face was slapped, her cheek swelling up with a clear handprint.

"What incredible speed!"

Lin Xi was startled. Others didn't see clearly, but he did. As soon as the little girl finished speaking, a palm formed from true qi slapped her face.

Because the true qi was minimal, many people didn't notice. The fact that the other party could control true qi to such a "micro" level indicated that his true qi cultivation was already extraordinary.

The slap was so sudden that it stunned the little girl, tears welling up in her eyes.

"This Doulv Palace disciple is so arrogant!"

Lin Xi wanted to help the little girl, but Jian Yaobai and the others, her seniors, were right there. Further back were the higher-status Third Stage Cultivation elite disciples of Beidou Palace.

No matter what, it wasn't Lin Xi's place to step in. So, after some thought, he held back.

"Little Shimei!"

Jian Yaobai and several other Beidou Palace disciples, seeing the little girl slapped, all turned red with anger, glaring at the Doulv Palace people.

The faces of the three Third Stage Cultivation experts from Beidou Palace also turned grim. The little girl was a Beidou Palace disciple, and if she needed to be disciplined, it was their responsibility, not Doulv Palace's.

For the other party to slap a disciple of their sect in front of them was a clear sign of disrespect.

"Zhou Keli, you're too presumptuous! Yu Ling is a disciple of our sect, and it's not your place to discipline her!"

One of the Beidou Palace experts said coldly, his face dark.

Yu Ling was the little girl's name.

"Hmph! A little brat, daring to insult Doulv Palace. Slapping her is already lenient. She deserves it, and you are also implicated. When we return, I will report to our sect elders and accuse Beidou Palace of poor discipline. Just wait and see!"

Zhou Keli not only showed no sign of apologizing but turned the blame on the Beidou Palace seniors.

The three Third Stage Cultivation experts from Beidou Palace's expressions changed, and their momentum weakened.

The elders of Doulv Palace were known for protecting their own. If Zhou Keli reported, the elders might really accuse their own sect elders, and they would suffer the consequences!

Doulv Palace was a major sect in the Immortal World, and its status was even higher than Beidou Palace. Both sects were closely aligned with Taiyuan Palace.

This powerful force was something Beidou Palace couldn't afford to provoke.

The three of them questioned out of anger, but if it came to a real confrontation, they would likely suffer.

"Zhou Keli, this is just a conflict between disciples. There's no need to involve the sect elders, right?"

Another Beidou Palace expert said, his expression clearly angry at the other party's bullying.

"Hmph! I don't have the patience to argue with you. Since you refuse to leave and give up this Qi Immortal Realm Black Dragon, I will report to our sect elders and let them talk to your Beidou Palace elders. We'll see what they say."

Zhou Keli's expression was cold, and he exuded an air of authority. As he spoke, a clear qi shot into the sky, heading toward Doulv Palace's spatial gate.

The three Beidou Palace experts saw this and said nothing:

"Fine! We'll also report to our elders. We'll see what they say. This Qi Immortal Realm Black Dragon was discovered by our people first. Even if this matter escalates, we have the right on our side. I want to see what kind of reasoning Doulv Palace and Taiyi Sect can come up with!"

One of the Beidou Palace disciples, also angry, sent a message to Beidou Palace's spatial gate.

"The value of this Black Dragon is so great that it involves the elders of two sects!"

Lin Xi watched coldly, inwardly startled.

This was because he had been in the Immortal Dao world for too short a time and didn't fully understand the significance of longevity-enhancing pills to Immortal Dao disciples, leading to this reaction!

Both sides had significant backgrounds. Although the little girl had pulled Lin Xi over to judge, his influence was not enough.

Moreover, the Beidou Palace side still had her seniors. It wasn't Lin Xi's place to step in and help the little girl.

However, this conflict left Lin Xi deeply shaken.

The Doulv Palace expert had slapped the little girl, and although the Beidou Palace people had shouted angrily, it was clear they were afraid to speak up, showing their fear of Doulv Palace.

Especially when the other party mentioned involving the sect elders, it left Lin Xi deeply shocked. Although he knew Doulv Palace was powerful, he didn't expect it to be so powerful.

While Lin Xi was lost in thought, he suddenly felt a sharp gaze fall on him. His heart trembled, and he looked up to see Zhou Keli, the Doulv Palace expert, staring at him coldly.

"Are you Lin Xi, a disciple of the Divine Night Sect?"

Zhou Keli's gaze was piercing, as if it could see through one's soul.

"Indeed."

Lin Xi, unsure of Zhou Keli's intentions, replied calmly.

"Hmph! Has your Divine Night Sect senior not taught you to bow and greet seniors from other sects? You, a mere registered disciple, want to meddle in this mess? You're truly courting death! I'm giving you a chance. Leave here within three breaths. Otherwise, don't blame us for not showing respect to the Divine Night Sect."

His stern face and imposing presence gave a sense of overwhelming pressure.

Lin Xi smiled wryly. He wasn't from Beidou Palace. The Divine Night Sect didn't fear Doulv Palace or Taiyi Sect. He wasn't one of those timid Third Stage Cultivation experts from Beidou Palace, and he wouldn't be intimidated by the other party's pressure.

"Senior, I am a disciple of the Divine Night Sect and follow the rules of the Divine Night Sect. Although Doulv Palace has strict rules, they don't apply to us. This Black Dragon Space is where we complete our sect missions, and there are no restrictions on where we can go. I have never heard of any rule that requires us to avoid Doulv Palace people."
