White clouds turned into drifting immortal mist, with dozens of swordlike peaks standing above them.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Streaks of light in different colors swept past the peaks and white clouds, all heading toward Gathering Phoenix Peak at the very back.
Most of these people had Earth Immortal Stage cultivation.
Like falling rain, they poured down onto the plaza of the Red Lotus Immortal Hall on Gathering Phoenix Peak.
The imposing, dark front doors of the Great Hall opened.
Lu Xiaoci led He Pingsheng out of the Great Hall.
"He..."
"He Pingsheng?"
"Hiss... it's him..."
"He's back?"
Everyone was stunned when they saw He Pingsheng.
Although He Pingsheng had been little known during his time in the sect, his fame had soared after he left over fifty years ago to compete in the grand tournament in Heaven and Earth Immortal City.
This was no joke-first place in the entire Heaven and Earth Immortal City grand tournament.
How much weight did that carry?
The whole sect had been shocked at the time.
Patriarch Red Lotus had even organized a grand celebration for the occasion!
As for the subsequent pursuit by the White Cloud Immortal Sect and Mount Kunwu, everyone knew all about that as well.
Now that they saw He Pingsheng return alive and appear here, the shock on their faces was only natural.
"Boohoo..." Upon seeing everyone, Lu Xiaoci first sobbed a couple of times, then said, "Martial uncles, senior brothers and senior sisters, please come in!"
"The Patriarch... the Patriarch has returned!"
"Boohoo... the Patriarch has passed away!"
"Boohoo..."
With that, Lu Xiaoci collapsed to the ground.
Their faces paling with shock, everyone scrambled to enter the Red Lotus Immortal Hall.
"Patriarch!"
"Master!"
"Master!"
"Grandmaster..."
"Boohoo..."
At once, the entire Great Hall dissolved into weeping.
