"Qingtian Palace? Isn’t that one of the eight top forces that wiped out the Emperor’s Palace? What are they doing at Zixia Palace?"
Tang Wenrou heard the words "Qingtian Palace," and imdiately thought of what Fang Bai had ntioned to her in the lower realm, knowing that Qingtian Palace was one of the main culprits in the destruction of the Emperor’s Palace, and her heart was instantly filled with hatred towards this sect.
Her passion surged with fury; she was eager to rush out of the Palace Master Hall and go to war with the immortals of Qingtian Palace, even if it ant fighting to the death despite being outmatched.
However, the Palace Master Hall was sealed off by a formation, and with her cultivation level, she couldn’t take a single step outside. Her divine sense was unable to penetrate the barrier, leaving her entirely ignorant of the situation outside.
She was frantically pacing back and forth within the hall, unaware that a multitude of over ten thousand Zixia Palace disciples, including more than a dozen of its senior mbers, had already gathered in the square beyond the gate of Zixia Palace.
Empress Zixia, holding a horsetail whisk, sat cross-legged with closed eyes on a large stone in the center of the square, dignified and majestic, emanating an overwhelming pressure that even a few Immortal Emperor Realm experts found hard to withstand.
The tens of thousands of Zixia Palace disciples, gathered around the stone, looked solemnly toward the distance.
The Immortal Emperor’s divine sense diffusion covered thousands of miles, alerting her to the arrival of several immortals from Qingtian Palace within Zixia Palace’s territory.
There was normally no interaction between Zixia Palace and Qingtian Palace, so the uninvited arrival of Qingtian Palace’s immortals seed ominous to the disciples of Zixia Palace.
With her wisdom, Empress Zixia naturally guessed that the visit might be related to the recent slaying of disciples from the eight top Immortal Emperor disciples by the Emperor’s Palace disciples.
Thinking of Tang Wenrou, Empress Zixia felt an extra layer of caution, wondering if Tang Wenrou’s identity as an Emperor’s Palace disciple had been leaked, prompting Qingtian Palace’s immortals to confront them.
On second thought, she found it unlikely, as besides herself, there were no other immortals in Zixia Palace aware that Tang Wenrou was an Emperor’s Palace disciple, and Wen Rou herself knew thods to conceal her aura, making it almost impossible for Qingtian Palace’s immortals to accuse her.
The entire Immortal Realm knows of my close ties with the Emperor’s Palace of old; could Qingtian Palace’s immortals suspect that I am hiding an Emperor’s Palace disciple and have co to question ?"
Empress Zixia speculated secretly, thinking this was a real possibility.
"Hmph, Qingtian Palace may be formidable, but Zixia Palace is no pushover! I will see what these Qingtian Palace immortals intend!"
Empress Zixia’s divine sense followed the imminently arriving Qingtian Palace immortals from thousands of miles away, her eyes slightly narrowed, and her face wore a frosty expression.
Four immortals from Qingtian Palace ca to Zixia Palace, all Immortal Emperor Realm experts. Empress Zixia, gauging their cultivation level, knew they were two elders and two stewards from Qingtian Palace.
Although there were only four Qingtian Palace immortals arriving, their power was formidable, and while Zixia Palace’s elders and stewards were comparable in rank and status, they were outmatched and no match for these four.
However, in front of Empress Zixia, the strength of the four Qingtian Palace immortals was far from worthy of serious contemplation.
Immortal Emperor Realm experts cannot tear through the void with bare hands like the Immortal Emperor to perform instantaneous movent over miles, yet their speed is astonishingly fast. They covered the thousands of miles in just over a thousand breaths.
"Greetings, Empress Zixia!"
The four senior mbers of Qingtian Palace, cautious not to co too close to Zixia Palace’s gate to avoid provocation, hovered a few miles away from the gate, bowing slightly to Empress Zixia.
Even with Qingtian Palace backing them and Qingtian Immortal Emperor supporting them, they dared not be disrespectful in front of a powerhouse like Empress Zixia.
Empress Zixia coldly snorted, asking, "Qingtian Palace and my Zixia Palace have never interacted. I am curious about the purpose of today’s visit?"
Her voice contained strands of emperor’s might, powerful and turbulent, pressing toward the four senior mbers of Qingtian Palace from a dozen miles away.
The four senior mbers felt like towering mountains were pressing down on them, the strong oppression nearly breaking their bones, vision fading, blood boiling in their chests, unable to bear it, forcing them back several miles, rallying immortal power to resist just to feel sowhat better.
"Indeed worthy of being an Immortal Emperor, this woman’s power is formidable!"
The four senior mbers of Qingtian Palace looked at Empress Zixia sitting still, expression solemn, with a sense of awe.
One elder from Qingtian Palace stepped forward bravely, saying, "By our Qingtian Palace Master’s command, we co to inquire about sothing with Empress Zixia..."
"What arrogance Qingtian Immortal Emperor has! Tell him, if there’s sothing he wants to ask, he should co himself!"
Empress Zixia opened her eyes and stared at the Qingtian Palace elder with an indifferent gaze that brought imnse pressure upon him, almost suffocating.
"This..."
The Qingtian Palace elder had a difficult expression, saying, "Our Palace Master is managing Qingtian Palace, with many responsibilities, and cannot easily leave..."
Empress Zixia scoffed, "The Immortal Realm must consider rank and precedence. As fellow Immortal Venerables, he should et face-to-face for equal dialogue. Sending you juniors to inquire is disrespect and an insult! Get lost!"
She finished speaking, eyes widened, essence shining fiercely, and lightly waved her horsetail whisk.
The heavens and earth suddenly darkened as if the vast void twisted, followed by a massive surge of tempest enveloping towards the four senior mbers of Qingtian Palace.
The four senior mbers showed looks of horror, understanding that standing still would an heavy injury or death if caught in the tempest, they fled with all their might towards the horizon.
Seeing the four Qingtian Palace senior mbers flee in disarray, the tens of thousands of Zixia Palace disciples in the square cheered aloud.
To them, Qingtian Palace’s dispatch of elders and stewards to converse with their Palace Master was an act of disrespect, utterly overwhelming, and their Palace Master driving them away was overwhelmingly satisfying.
They also knew their Palace Master did not intend to kill, otherwise, the four Qingtian Palace senior mbers wouldn’t have escaped unhard.
"Empress Zixia, our Palace Master said, if your palace is hiding any Emperor’s Palace disciples, please turn them over for us to deal with to quell the anger over the slaying of the Eight Immortal Emperor’s disciples. Otherwise, if we find out later of any real affinity between your palace and Emperor’s Palace disciples, your palace will face the Eight Immortal Emperor’s crusade! This concerning the survival of Zixia Palace, please consider wisely!"
This was spoken by a Qingtian Palace elder from afar, as he had fled to a hundred miles away.
