After Flameheart High Person finished speaking, the two young men behind him, dressed in the long robes of outer disciples of the Cloud-Covering Immortal Sect, slowly stepped forward. After respectfully bowing to the six hall masters, they flickered into view on the arena plaza.
They glanced at Li Changyang and the other two, then quietly waited to one side.
"Daoist Flameheart, today is the Domain-Suppressing City Centennial Selection. I'm afraid your actions are rather inappropriate."
Lu Yuntang frowned slightly. The pressure of Middle Spirit Transformation spilled out, making even the clouds and mist over the arena stars tremble.
"It's only a chance for the juniors to learn from each other. Daoist Lu, there's no need to take it too seriously. I guarantee that my two disciples will admit defeat on their own at the end. How does that sound?"
Flameheart High Person laughed heartily. After finishing the Spirit Fruit in his hand, he swaggered over to sit on the cloud-mist bench.
"I think Daoist Flameheart makes a fair point. This is only a discussion between juniors. Daoist Lu, you're taking it a little too seriously."
Amid ripples in the void, the elder of the last of the Three Immortals Sect, the Dao-Hua Immortal Sect, stepped out. Daoist aura flowed around him, and behind him, it seemed to unfurl faintly like a painting.
Seeing the Three Immortals Sect Elders arrive uninvited, Lu Yuntang furrowed his brows. He swept his eyes over the other Five-City Palace Masters and suppressed his anger as he said,
"Surely you three understand that this is only our city's selection. These young people aren't yet disciples of the Domain-Suppressing City."
"Heh, Daoist Lu, you're worrying too much."
The elder of the Three Immortals Sect chuckled, his gaze shifting between Lu Yuntang and the other Five-City Palace Masters.
