Alas,
Zhang Qingyuan sighed and slowly withdrew his outstretched foot.
So be it.
He would endure it for now.
After all, Yi An Dao Venerable beside him was a friend of Senior Kong Sheng and had taken good care of him throughout the journey. Zhang Qingyuan could not very well cause trouble for him.
However,
Zhang Qingyuan had a premonition.
This matter would not end so easily.
Stepping back,
Zhang Qingyuan closed his eyes,
resting with his eyes shut.
Seeing this,
Yi An Dao Venerable secretly let out a breath of relief.
He immediately cupped his hands toward the newcomer in greeting and introduced him:
"Please do not take offense, daoist friend. This is Dao Venerable Qing Xuan Zhang Qingyuan, whose name has shaken the world. At barely five hundred years old, he had already entered the Myriad Transformations Realm. Not long ago, with the strength of the Myriad Transformations Realm, he even slew a Heavenly Being!"
"He is a peerless prodigy unseen throughout the ages. Given Daoist Zhang's talent, whether he has a passage permit or not should hardly matter, should it?"
Yi An Dao Venerable spoke confidently, looking towards the Heavenly Being old man halfway up the mountain.
He did not think much of it when the other party refused to give face to the Nine Continents Chamber of Commerce after he had announced its name.
Having spent a long time in Central Continent, Yi An Dao Venerable knew all too well the arrogant self-importance of its cultivators, who looked down on cultivators from every Outer Continent.
In their eyes, every place outside Central Continent was some backward countryside.
Cultivators from the Outer Continent were merely country bumpkins from the countryside.
Not to mention that he was merely a Myriad Transformations Realm cultivator whose potential had been exhausted.
