The Emperor's Hall in Lingxu Palace.
Forty-seven earthly immortals gathered here early in the morning.
"Are you going to give me the spirit stones or not?"
"Yes, my spiritual stones last month totaled 10,000, and it has been delayed for three months."
"It would be disgraceful if we continue to drag it on like this."
"Our bishop is dealing with the untouchables, and he is pretending not to see the matter of our spirit stones. This is not acceptable."
"There must be a result today."
Many earthly immortals started to make a scene in the Emperor's Palace because their boss owed them spirit stones.
Soon, four palace maids came over, each dressed in ancient costume, with a plump, dignified and beautiful figure.
"Dear elders, Deputy Priest Qu and Deputy Priest Long, please go to Huayuan Palace for a detailed discussion."
An old man with white hair and beard shook his head and sneered as he walked out, "No, tell the two deputy leaders of the interim sect that no matter whether it is Master Lin Zhenjun or the two deputy leaders who are in charge today, we old guys have decided not to return to Lingshi today and we will definitely not go back."
"If you want to discuss in detail, please come over here. The Imperial Palace is bustling with people. Let the monks in the world see how our bishop deceived us."
The palace maids were in a dilemma.
Two streams of fragrant wind filled the air. One was Qu Lingxiu, dignified and solemn, showing a reserved yet elegant smile, and walked towards them with graceful steps. The other was Long Xuan, who was dressed in hot and bold clothes. Several old earth immortals couldn't help swallowing their saliva when they saw him, and secretly cursed her as a beauty, a foxy woman, etc.
"Dear earthly immortal elders, I know you are here for spirit stones, but spirit stones are indeed a bit tight this year. I hope you can settle your debts first, and then return them to you next year. How do you think?" Qu Lingxiu said in a negotiating tone.
Qu Lingxiu was very nervous about this matter. Lin Yi had been in seclusion for two years. Although Lingxu Continent seemed calm on the surface, the seeds of restoration had already risen slightly and were secretly nurturing underground.
There was a rumor going around that Lin Yi was no longer in Lingxu and had returned to Earth.
Others said that Lin Yi had been seriously injured since he came back from the teleportation array and was now dead.
In short, this is a sensitive time and all church affairs must be taken care of, and these elders are the key.
If not handled properly, it is likely to cause a terrible storm.
But at the same time, he couldn't be too humble, otherwise it would further confirm the rumors that Lin Yi was no longer around.
All in all, things are extremely tricky.
“No, if we delay this year until next year, and next year until the year after, won’t we always be one year short?” The leading earth immortal was Yunkong Earth Immortal from Yuntian Palace, one of the oldest underground immortals in Lingxu Continent. Although his talent was average and his cultivation was limited, he had a lot of experience and many people listened to him.
"Everyone, believe me, the bishop has been in seclusion recently and has consumed a lot of spirit stone resources. When he comes out, he will give everyone an explanation." Long Xuan also stood up and said.
"No, who knows when the bishop will go into seclusion? We even have doubts about whether the person in seclusion inside is the bishop. Please let the bishop come out to handle this matter." Yunkong Earth Immortal continued, and the other Earth Immortals also had the same idea.
"This... is impossible. The bishop instructed us before he went into seclusion that unless there is a catastrophe in Lingxu, we are not allowed to interrupt his seclusion, otherwise we will kill him without mercy."
Long Xuan's shout of "Kill without mercy" was like a bucket of cold water poured over the heads of all the immortals on that day in front of Lingxu Palace, on the martial arts field.
The young man faced many earthly immortals, numerous sect-guarding spiritual treasures, strolling leisurely in the garden, killing one with every step, and the scene came back to him like a nightmare again.
