Compared with everyone else, Lu Qingci's feelings were beyond anyone else's. She was utterly lost. She had never dared dream that one day she would provoke a Mahayana Earth Immortal!
When the "Xuanming True Monarch" of the Heavenly Wasteland Divine Dynasty had shouted that Bei Ji Tianzun was a Mahayana Earth Immortal just before he died, Lu Qingci had felt as though she'd been struck by lightning.
Especially when she realized that both Bei Ji Tianzun and Ning Wangshu were with Ye Hongluan.
She found it even harder to accept.
"H-how could this happen?! A Mahayana Earth Immortal—he's actually a Mahayana Earth Immortal! That wretched Ye Hongluan... How did she manage to get involved with one?!"
"What is going on?! Why, why?!"
Lu Qingci couldn't make sense of it. She stared fixedly at Ye Hongluan not far away, her eyes filled with jealousy and resentment.
Cheng Junyue, the organizer of this Immortal Dao gathering, was also feeling far more conflicted than the others.
He had only meant to use the occasion to exchange ideas and discuss the Dao with the young elites of Liuyun City and even Spirit Prefecture, while raising his standing among his peers.
He'd never imagined that a gathering of young elites would draw someone like Bei Ji Tianzun, a Mahayana Earth Immortal!
Moreover, this Mahayana Earth Immortal was merely a servant at Ning Wangshu's side.
He, too, couldn't imagine what Ning Wangshu's identity and origins might be. He was even more curious about the relationship between Ye Hongluan and the two of them.
But when he glanced at Lu Qingci, still pinned to the ground and forced to kneel, and recalled the people Bei Ji Tianzun had broken the legs of, sealed their cultivation, and thrown off Wanren Peak, he couldn't help feeling a little rueful.
