549: Coming_2
The white-robed cultivator’s face was as still as water before he gave the command:
“Send the orders down: within the time it takes an incense stick to burn, all Deputy Court Leaders and Enforcement Leaders within Liyuan City at the Golden Core Stage must come to see me!”
“Everyone! No one is to have any excuses!”
“One incense stick’s time, whoever dares not come, get the hell out of the Taoist Court immediately!”
Upon hearing this, the Enforcement Leader was greatly shocked and knew that this matter must be of great importance.
This was the first time he had seen the normally unflappable Court Leader show such a stern expression.
The Enforcement Leader immediately passed on the orders.
By the time the incense had burned down, all the Golden Core Cultivators from the entire Liyuan City Taoist Court had gathered in front of the white-robed cultivator.
Their expressions were grave, with a mix of confusion.
“Court Leader, what exactly has happened?”
The white-robed cultivator waved his hand, “Immediately set out with me, to Li Mountain City!”
“All of us?” A Deputy Court Leader was taken aback.
After thinking for a moment, the white-robed cultivator casually pointed to one of the Golden Core Cultivators, “You stay behind to hold the fort; the rest will all go.”
The crowd looked at each other in bewilderment.
Still, the Deputy Court Leader couldn’t help but ask, “Court Leader, what exactly happened?”
The white-robed cultivator was annoyed, yet seeing everyone’s puzzled faces, he still put it succinctly:
“A special Eternal Life Rune has broken; we’re going to take a look.”
“A special Eternal Life Rune?!”
The crowd was shocked, murmuring amongst themselves:
“What is that?”
“Runes?”
“Is it that important?”
“Worthy of such a grand mobilization?”
…
The white-robed cultivator paused, speechless.
After all, Liyuan City was quite remote, and these Golden Core Cultivators, though of decent births, mostly came from less significant Noble Clans and Sects, knowing little of such grand legacies.
“Court Leader, isn’t this… making a big fuss over a small issue?” someone tentatively said.
A single rune, such a big deal it had made, mobilizing all of the top Golden Core Cultivators from the biggest Taoist Court within the Dali Mountain State boundary?
The Deputy Court Leader also voiced his confusion:
“Court Leader, is this Eternal Life Rune really that urgent?”
The white-robed cultivator could hardly suppress his anger and could only grit his teeth and say:
“You all know shit!”
“I can only tell you, one special Eternal Life Rune is worth more than my damn life! Way! More! Precious! Heavy!!”
At these words, everyone’s faces changed.
Only then did they realize that the matter might be far more grave than they had thought.
“Quit the nonsense!” the white-robed cultivator shouted, “Dress in your Taoist Robes, bring your Magical Treasures, prepare your Pills, and set off now!”
“Yes!”
The crowd responded solemnly and with a heavy tone.
The white-robed cultivator nodded, about to say something but suddenly sensed something, his heart skipped a beat, and he looked skywards with eyes wide in alarm.
The Deputy Court Leader was hesitant, pointing to the distance and fumbling, “Court Leader, when the Eternal Life Rune breaks, does it… look like that…?”
The white-robed cultivator whirled around, took one look, and his legs nearly gave out beneath him.
In the distance, the sky was flooded with golden light, and the presence was terrifying.
“Another one… has broken?”
No, not just one…
The white-robed cultivator stared intently.
In the far horizon, a beam of golden light and a beam of red light stood in opposition.
Although far away and not quite clear, the profound aura was unmistakably… two Dharma manifestations?
And among them, that blood shadow… was it from the Demon Path’s Heaven Void?!
From the Demon Path…
