This... really wasn't a fight?
Li Changshou looked up at the vast bank of dark clouds hanging in the southeastern sky, then at the few white clouds to the northwest, and briefly sensed the auras upon them...
Truly, he had been only a hair away from fleeing outright!
He had even already thought up the headline for some nonexistent Primordial Wilderness tabloid:
Tragic: Chan and Jie Teachings erupt into war at the Three Teachings Origin Conference; mighty experts strike in succession, leaving countless living beings dead and wounded!
The reason Li Changshou remained for the moment was that an immortal from the Chan Teaching side flew out first...
This man wore a pearl crown and phoenix-dance boots, dressed in a pale white robe embroidered with Auspicious Clouds and Immortal Cranes. His wide sleeves fluttered loosely, as though they contained heaven and earth within.
The immortals and disciples below could not make out this Daoist's face. They could only vaguely sense that he appeared to be a middle-aged Daoist.
He flew out from the side of Jade Void Palace's sixty-odd immortals. After taking a few steps forward, he arrived at the center and chuckled toward the Jie Teachings Immortals. His bright voice spread across the clouds and earth:
"Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters of Jie Teaching, you have arrived with such imposing momentum. What have you come here for?"
So they really were about to fight? Li Changshou sighed inwardly and secretly took out two special talismans...
Then a light laugh came from the vast dark cloud bank of the Jie Teachings Immortals:
"Of course, we came to join in the fun;
Senior Brother Guang Chengzi, have you been well lately?"
