Assessment Begins

Wu Xing had previously received orders, and now that he knew Mu Ren's identity, he naturally did not stop him. He made a welcoming gesture toward Mu Ren.

If it had been the old Wu Xing who learned Mu Ren's identity, he would certainly have been extremely nervous. After all, the lord of a city was still a major figure to Wu Xing.

But ever since becoming a disciple of Spirit Immortal Palace, Wu Xing could remain as calm as still water even when facing Mu Ren, the city lord, because he had witnessed the might of Spirit Immortal Palace.

He was merely a city lord. Wu Xing was now an outer disciple of Spirit Immortal Palace and represented Spirit Immortal Palace's reputation when dealing with outsiders, so naturally, he could not tarnish its name.

If Wu Xing had not received word beforehand, then even knowing Mu Ren's identity, he would never have allowed him inside. Those were the rules of Spirit Immortal Palace.

"Thank you!"

Although Wu Xing was only at Earth Saint Perfection, far weaker than himself, Wu Xing was a disciple of Spirit Immortal Palace after all!

As the saying went, if not for the monk's sake, then for the Buddha's. Before understanding Spirit Immortal Palace's strength and attitude, Mu Ren naturally would not choose to offend one of its people.

"Wait!"

Just as Mu Ren was preparing to enter Spirit Immortal Palace alongside Wu Xing, another voice rang out from behind. Fei Yi Bo was leading a group of people toward Spirit Immortal Palace's mountain gate.

"Who are you people?"

Wu Xing was already somewhat displeased. The orders he had received only permitted Mu Ren, the city lord of Dragon Sword City, to enter the sect; he had received no order to allow anyone else inside.
