CHAPTER 1126: CHAPTER 849: INVITATION

"No need, no need, it’s just that a Golden Immortal friend of mine invited me to visit Honorable Daoist Gu together."

Star Lord Tian Xiang waved his hands repeatedly.

He was just a minor Golden Immortal. How could he dare to be presumptuous in front of someone like Li Shaoyan, the ancestor of the Li Family?

Even Zhou Huang, whom he supported, would not be so discourteous to this ancestor of the Li Family.

"Visit Gu..."

Li Shaoyan’s expression froze slightly upon hearing what Star Lord Tian Xiang said.

The Li Family was already in discord with Ancient Immortal Venerable Gu due to the matter of Li Feiyu. If at this moment, Star Lord Tian Xiang, one of the few friends he acknowledged during his unawakened state, were to mention his ostentatious deeds in Purple Luo Heaven...

The Ancient Immortal Venerable would not need to say anything. Just a slight expression of dissatisfaction toward the Li Family from him, and several or even over a dozen top-tier forces would pounce, completely dividing the Li Family to please this Ancient Immortal Venerable.

As for the Immortal Venerable whom the Li Family had been trying to connect with and cling to over the years?

They absolutely would not dare speak a word in defiance.

In fact...

It’s possible that the family of that Immortal Venerable backing them might also participate in the division feast of the Li Family with the Immortal Venerable’s tacit approval.

Thinking of this, Li Shaoyan shuddered, and his demeanor became somewhat humble: "It’s nothing, friend, naturally put your important affairs first."

In the unclear state of the situation, he apologized profusely to everyone present, including Yang Shuo, Daoist Nian Yun: "I’m sorry, I did not know Star Lord Tian Xiang was hosting you all here, it was my offense. All the expenses of your day in Purple Luo Heaven will be covered by our Li Family."

After saying this, he instructed the person in charge of Purple Luo Heaven: "Bring your best floral teas and beverages here and put them on my tab."

"This... Ancestor Li, there’s no need..."

Star Lord Tian Xiang quickly replied.

"It’s necessary, necessary. I interrupted your gathering and feel quite guilty. Please give me a chance to apologize, Star Lord Tian Xiang."

Li Shaoyan said this as he took the initiative to leave this enclosed space: "I’ll take my leave now, wish you all an enjoyable time."

Watching the ancestor of the Li Family, who, despite his Immortal Venerable status, seemed slightly bowed upon leaving, everyone within the sealed formation felt like they were dreaming.

If he hadn’t just suppressed everyone present with his Eleventh Rank formidable will, they would almost suspect that the Immortal Golden Immortal was fake.

But...

Even if Li Shaoyan, this genuine Immortal Golden Immortal, faced Star Lord Tian Xiang, is it not too...

Respectful!?

Pleasing!?

They were at a loss for words.

After all...

Star Lord Tian Xiang was just a Golden Immortal!

And not even a remarkable Golden Immortal, without the qualifications to enter the candidate list of the Honorable Daoist Mansion.

Such Golden Immortals were a dime a dozen in the outer mansion of the Honorable Daoist Mansion.

For a while, Daoist Nian Yun fixed her gaze on this Golden Immortal, who was her admirer but left little impression due to the short time: "Tian Xiang... who was that ancestor from the Li Family just now?"

"I do not know either."

Star Lord Tian Xiang smiled wryly.

"Tian Xiang... if I recall correctly... you are from the Zhou Family, the Yanhuang Zhou Family?"

Yang Shuo asked, choosing his words carefully.

"Yes."

Star Lord Tian Xiang nodded.

The Yanhuang Zhou Family.

Although their Zhou Family Ancestor counts as a direct disciple of an Immortal Venerable, Emperor Bai was different from other Great Immortal Venerables, with many disciples, naturally lessening the weight of being a direct disciple of an Immortal Venerable.

If the weight of being a direct disciple of an Immortal Venerable couldn’t hold the fort, he’d just be an upstart Immortal.

Not to mention matching the Qin family, even compared to the Yang family, which was at the bottom of the New Fire Star Sea, the Zhou family was one step ahead.

And yet, such a family...

And yet, a child who doesn’t even qualify as an Immortal Seed is worthy of such respect from Li Shaoyan, an Immortal Golden Immortal of Six Hundred Epochs of cultivation?

Is this reasonable?

This is not reasonable!

A Nian Family disciple beside them couldn’t help but say: "Tian Xiang, could you be a direct disciple of some Immortal Venerable? Who else besides a direct disciple of an Immortal Venerable could command so much face that an ancestor from a big family like the Li Family would bow their head?"

"No, I’m just an ordinary, unremarkable Golden Immortal."

Star Lord Tian Xiang stated truthfully.

Yet Yang Shuo, Nian Yun, and others clearly didn’t believe him.

Among them, Daoist Nian Yun scrutinized Star Lord Tian Xiang, a strong curiosity about him emerging in her heart.

She had decided to thoroughly investigate what identity he had that could make a Six Hundred Epoch Immortal Golden Immortal lower their head.

The gathering continued.

After the recent incident, everyone knew that Star Lord Tian Xiang might be hiding an unknown secret, and he had gradually become the focal point of the gathering.

Not just Daoist Nian Yun, but even Yang Shuo, his competitor, was trying to be friendly toward him.

Though indeed seeking Daoist Nian Yun for strengthening ties between the Yang and Nian families, the ultimate goal was to achieve mutual help and win-win cooperation. If, besides Daoist Nian Yun, there was a better option, he would undoubtedly switch targets without hesitation.

And Star Lord Tian Xiang, who could make Li Shaoyan bow down, obviously already had this qualification.

The gathering lasted a moment longer, and then Star Lord Tian Xiang’s Communication Jade Token vibrated again, so he had to stand up: "Sorry, our Family Head from the Zhou Family has arrived, I need to join him for a visit to Honorable Daoist Gu, so I’ll have to excuse myself."

"Honorable Daoist Gu of the Qin family?"

Daoist Nian Yun and others naturally had heard of the name Gu Jinlai.

After all, he had only graduated from the Honorable Daoist Mansion a few hundred years ago.

Combined with rumors outside, he carried the persona of an Immortal Venerable, so many in the Honorable Daoist Mansion now regarded him as an idol.
