"Your cult truly had this all calculated. The moment you displayed your so-called method of bringing the dead back to life, you could not wait to call on everyone to join the Sacred Spirit Cult?"
"I know you are expanding your influence under the banner of targeting Evil Spirit Ghost Cultivators and that inexplicable darkness. But... there is no need to be in such a hurry, is there?"
As the applause died down, a figure stepped through the air and rose from among the crowd.
The newcomer's cultivation was merely at the Qi Refining Stage. Dressed in an azure long robe and holding a black folding fan, he appeared exceptionally handsome from afar.
Yet the instant he appeared, he soared to the same height as the Sacred Spirit Cult Saintess.
His original Qi Refining Stage cultivation also surged the moment he steadied himself. In the blink of an eye, the cultivation he displayed had risen to the middle Nascent Soul Stage.
At the same time, he opened the folding fan in his hand. With each wave, gusts of fresh wind arose, stirring his robes and hair lightly and lending him an even more carefree and exceptional bearing.
The continuously spreading breeze directly drove away the heat waves radiating from the Phoenix overhead.
As her gaze fell on the newcomer, two flickers of surprise flashed through the Sacred Spirit Cult Saintess's eyes.
There were quite a few cultivators in the crowd who had come while concealing their cultivation. Yet the Sacred Spirit Cult had long since set up a Spirit Testing Array here and had already thoroughly discerned the Nascent Soul cultivators among them.
But this azure-robed cultivator before her was beyond her expectations.
Surprised though she was, the Sacred Spirit Cult Saintess did not reveal it. She merely spoke calmly.
