The Sect Master of the Seven Realms Immortal Sect, along with all the elders, had long since arrived at the entrance to pay their respects.
But there were some additional people present — young Spirit World Masters.
"Father, now that Chu Feng's identity has been exposed, would he still dare to come?"
One of them stood beside the Sect Master of the Seven Realms Immortal Sect.
His complexion was fair, and though he was male, he possessed a certain delicate beauty — though paired with a rather sharp, cutting face.
"I don't know. I hope they'll come," the Sect Master of the Seven Realms Immortal Sect replied, though he had no confidence in his own words.
When Jie Shanxian had departed, she had instructed them to return here and wait.
The situation at the time had been complicated, and they couldn't very well follow Jie Shanxian, so they had seized the chaos to retreat first.
Now he somewhat regretted that decision.
He feared that Jie Shanxian might not dare to come back.
"I think we shouldn't wait any longer," the sharp-faced young man said.
"Brother, why do you say that?"
A woman with equally attractive features and a pair of blue eyes turned to look at the sharp-faced young man.
Though they were different in gender, their faces bore a certain resemblance — clearly both were offspring of the Sect Master of the Seven Realms Immortal Sect.
"If the rumors are true and he truly possesses the Origin of the Vein, along with the Bloodline of the King..."
"He would surely be cautious in his actions. He doesn't know us at all — how could he know whether we have any interest in what he carries?"
"Unless he understands us well enough, or has a powerful figure backing him."
"Otherwise, no sane person would dare come."
The sharp-faced young man declared.
His words drew nods from many present.
Even the Sect Master of the Seven Realms Immortal Sect let out a soft sigh.
Such simple reasoning — how could he not understand it?
Yet he still hoped that Chu Feng and Jie Shanxian would come.
However, before long, the members of the Seven Realms Immortal Sect brightened with joy.
They could hardly believe their eyes — Chu Feng and his two companions had appeared within their field of vision.
Chu Feng and Jie Shanxian had both reverted to their true appearances, while Wang Qiang still maintained his disguised form.
The Sect Master of the Seven Realms Immortal Sect led the group forward to greet them.
Although this was his first time seeing Jie Shanxian in person, he knew that the woman before him was the Heavenly Dragon Spirit World Master.
"Thank you for placing your trust in our sect."
The Sect Master of the Seven Realms Immortal Sect addressed Jie Shanxian.
"No need for thanks — just don't betray our trust," Jie Shanxian replied.
"That is certain. Please, all three of you, come inside."
Chu Feng and his companions were then ushered into the Seven Realms Immortal Sect.
The Seven Realms Immortal Sect truly lived up to its reputation as a Spirit World Master organization.
Everything within was formed by arrays — forget plants, even every building radiated varying degrees of luminescence.
A single glance revealed a kaleidoscope of colorful light filling the vision, as though they had stepped into an otherworldly realm.
"These old fogies — do they really think this looks good? This is… this is nothing but light pollution!" Wang Qiang secretly complained to Chu Feng.
"They're people from the primordial era after all. It's only natural that their aesthetic sensibilities differ," Chu Feng secretly replied, finding himself very much in agreement with Wang Qiang's assessment.
If these were natural phenomena, there would indeed be a certain immortal charm to them.
But when things that could easily be normal are deliberately crafted to glow, it becomes far too forced.
Chu Feng and his companions were first escorted to a palace to rest.
The Sect Master of the Seven Realms Immortal Sect said he needed to make some preparations, then departed with several elders in tow.
However, he left behind a number of elders and the younger generation to host Chu Feng and his group.
"Brother, I've got a bad feeling about these people. The way they look at you — it's like hungry wolves spotting a little, little, little… little white rabbit," Wang Qiang secretly transmitted.
But this time, his secret transmission was also audible to Jie Shanxian — Wang Qiang had done it deliberately.
He was sending a message to Jie Shanxian.
You were the one who insisted on coming here. If something goes wrong, you're the one who'll have to answer for it.
"You two — don't leave my line of sight. No matter what schemes they may harbor, I can guarantee your safety," Jie Shanxian secretly replied.
"Young Master Chu."
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am the daughter of the Sect Master of the Seven Realms Immortal Sect, named Xianjing."
"And this is my younger brother, Xianshi."
The blue-eyed woman walked up to Chu Feng and spoke.
