Chapter 1082: Traversal
Hall of Myriad Judgments.
Before the ferocious throne.
The young man holding a teacup was savoring his tea.
Wu Rong, clad in a dark-red dharma robe, approached from the rear hall and said, "What a grand gesture. The cultivators sent to deliver the challenge letter are all Dao Lords."
The young man glanced sideways and said with a genial smile, "Fellow Daoist is the true heaven-born prodigy. You attained the Dao after so few years; I, Bai Banshan, greatly admire you as well."
Listening to the flattery of the Ancient Immortal Tower's Dao Lord, Wu Rong took his seat without changing expression. "The Bai family of the Ancient Immortal Tower."
"Precisely."
Bai Banshan cupped his hands slightly and said candidly, "To put it plainly, this matter was merely the Cui boy's failed scheme, coupled with the losses in the Land of Divine Restrictions. It was never anything particularly serious."
"Since the Prefecture Lord was willing to meet with me, you must have realized my purpose."
Wu Rong narrowed his eyes. "So there is still room to turn this around?"
"As long as the Prefecture Lord does not wish for war, the Bai family is willing to mediate on your behalf." Bai Banshan rose and bowed.
"What are the conditions?"
"I heard that the Prefecture Lord came from the Taiyi Sect."
"Do not misunderstand. I mean the Stellar Luo Taiyi Sect."
"Later, you left the sect at the Nascent Soul stage, while your master, Tu Shan Jun, had long been dissatisfied and departed."
Bai Banshan spoke in an unhurried manner.
Wu Rong's heart jolted, but he gradually relaxed. It was impossible for no one to know his origins, especially a force like the Ancient Immortal Tower, which encompassed all beneath heaven.
He would not even have been surprised
