Chapter 596: Traces of Immortal Sects
A look of disbelief appeared on the face of the male immortal. As if he was shoved by an invisible force, he staggered back four steps.
He also felt the blood in his veins boil up to his throat. The impact almost made him cough up blood.
Fortunately, he was a prideful man. If he did spew blood, he wouldn’t have the face to live anymore, especially since the famous Fairy Yunshang was here. There was all the more reason he couldn’t embarrass himself.
Hence, even if it costs his life, the male immortal swallowed back his blood. His complexion looked terrible. He instructed his lion to pounce at the enemy, only to be shocked by the sight of its fearful expression, and how it was backing away while trembling in fear.
Chen Xuankong stopped trying to make comments.
Meanwhile, the female immortal watched the entire exchange in awe.
She and the male immortal were acquainted.
Chen Xuankong was an immortal of the Mystery Dao Sect, which was one of the highly ranked sects among those hidden inside Black Mountain. Who knew that ‘Curator’ could defeat Chen Xuankong with a single blow. What’s more, Curator did not even move an inch to do so.
How phenomenal was that?
Unbelievable.
Almost immediately, the prideful and aloof Fairy Yunshang subconsciously put away her arrogance and humbled herself unwittingly.
This was a form of respect.
Fairy Yunshang knew that her strength was somewhat on par with Chen Xuankong. Since Curator could harm Chen Xuankong without even moving, it shouldn’t be too difficult for him to defeat her too.
He might even be a great immortal like her master so she had to show him due respect.
With this in mind, Fairy Yunshang reacted quickly by stepping forward and giving a Dao sect salutation.
“Qin Yunshang, the thirty-fourth chief disciple of the Immortal Cloud Sect, pays her greetings to Senior Curator!”
Her tone was gentle, just like how a junior would speak to her senior.
Although it was a simple greeting, it demonstrated that this female immortal had acknowledged Curator’s strength. Not only did Lin Jin understand it, but the rest of the visitors noticed it as well.
It was a close call for Lin Jin but he was quite satisfied with the outcome.
‘As expected, I am the ruler of my territory. Here in the Visitation Hall, even immortals have to behave themselves. On my turf, dragons have to kneel and tigers have to crouch down!’
Lin Jin’s confidence skyrocketed.
He interrogated in a cold voice, “Why did you hurt them?”
As he spoke, Lin Jin went over to inspect everyone’s injuries.
Old Tian had fainted from the fight and his pet beast sustained terrible injuries. It was a good thing they were at the Visitation Hall. Lin Jin easily helped Old Tian regain his consciousness before unleashing a colorful mist to nourish and heal the injuries of his visitors and their pet beasts.
It was an incredible sight to behold.
All of them recovered rapidly.
Qin Yunshang’s eyes lit up at this.
Even Chen Xuankong was shocked. It wasn’t long before he started thinking seriously about what he had just witnessed.
Their masters were unable to pull off such a mystifying feat, let alone them.
This phenomenal healing ability was just too unbelievable.
They had no idea it was the effect of the Four Ocean Gourd. This was also the greatest technique Lin Jin could perform with this magic treasure right now.
Lin Jin would be useless in a situation worse than this.
However, this much was enough for him to impress the crowd.
Chen Xuankong now realized his place as well. He would be an idiot not to. No fool could become an immortal after all.
Chen Xuankong stepped forward and saluted Curator. “Chen Xuankong, the thirty-sixth chief disciple of the Mystery Dao Sect, pays his greetings to Senior Curator. I have offended Senior without clarifying the situation beforehand. Please issue your punishment. As for hurting the people, th-there was just a misunderstanding…” said Chen Xuankong.
He was speaking the truth.
“Misunderstanding?” Lin Jin didn’t believe it. However, after asking the rest of the visitors what happened, he let out a silent sigh. It was indeed a misunderstanding.
Although Chen Xuankong had a volatile temper and was arrogant, he wasn’t the type to harm others without first trying to communicate. Given his level of cultivation, he would have killed all the visitors in the blink of an eye.
Anyone who was suddenly brought into a mysterious place would have been just as paranoid. If one failed to pay enough attention, one might just lash out instinctively.
Hadn’t Ye Yuzhou and Madam Ghost Child fought because of this too?
According to the Visitation Hall’s ‘rules’, newcomers had to be educated. It was Old Tian who made this suggestion because he was on the receiving end of this education back then.
Now that doors number eleven and twelve finally opened up, Old Tian was thrilled and excited.
He was keen on establishing his status as the ‘old-timer’, so he had offered to go over and act like the boss.
However, such tricks only worked with the right type of people.
He would have been fine talking to a regular expert, but to flaunt in front of a genuine immortal would earn him an outcome everyone could imagine.
Chen Xuankong had beaten Old Tian down in one move and that was the trigger for the subsequent battle. In the end, Chen Xuankong managed to subdue them all on his own. If Curator hadn’t appeared in time, god knows what would have happened.
As Lin Jin listened to their accounts, he couldn’t even begin to describe the sense of helplessness he felt. Thankfully, his mask was able to conceal his facial expressions.
In any case, the situation was still far from irreparable. He also needed to study these newcomers too.
Lin Jin was just too fascinated by them.
Weren’t immortals extinct? Why did they suddenly appear now?
Where have they been hiding?
Also, according to Qin Yunshang and Chen Xuankong’s statements, they both came from different sects and these sects were actually still around.
Incredible!
This was massive news!
Lin Jin’s heart was pumping. He couldn’t help it. If immortal sects did still exist, the continents and lands the humans inhabited could easily be overthrown.
Premium countries weren’t worth anything to immortals at all.
Lin Jin was very curious but he couldn’t show it. An expert should be dignified, so after Lin Jin woke Old Tian up and treated him, he played a mediating role between both sides.
After all, this wasn’t an unforgivable grudge. With Curator asking the favor, both sides had to show him respect and agree to reconcile.
Although the conflict was resolved, grievances still exist and wouldn’t be dissolved immediately. Lin Jin couldn’t be bothered with that. He couldn’t wait to start asking the immortals about them and their sect.
Not only Lin Jin, but Ye Yuzhou and the others were just as excited.
The great immortal extinction happened about two thousand years ago. Theoretically, no immortal should still be alive right now, so their ears were perked up. The mortal visitors were keen on hearing the other side of the story, for they knew the truth must be a shocking one.
