Upon hearing that there were many like him who were mere toys, and that the already deceased Dharma Transmitter Feng was one of them, a complex expression appeared on Kong Youās face.
And this was just regarding Dharma Transmitter Feng alone. What about the other Dharma Transmitters within the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals?
How many people within the Xuanhuang World live their entire lives unable to escape the fate of being toys?
"Itās good that itās destroyed." Bai Shuyue suddenly uttered this inexplicable statement.
Under the power of the Wuji Dao, Dharma Transmitter Feng died silently. The blood sprayed all over was already cold, and the other Dharma Transmitters and the Celestial Dharma Bearer noticed nothing.
But as soon as Bai Shuyue withdrew the Power of Limitless, the Immortal Alliance Headquarters immediately fell into great turmoil.
"Itās time to leave." Bai Shuyue glanced at the Measureless Barrier.
Three figures were enveloped in a bluish light, and they quietly slipped away just as they had come.
Thereās no need to elaborate on all that happened within the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.
After placing Kong You in a safe place, Bai Shuyue, who continued seeking trial opponents, had been somewhat melancholic since their parting.
Measureless Barrier was puzzled: "Havenāt we already killed the mastermind Dharma Transmitter Feng? Why are you still not happy?"
"Moreover, I really didnāt expect you to stand up for that young female cultivator."
"In the Cultivation World, itās survival of the fittest, nothing to dwell on. Even I have taken several lives. But..." Bai Shuyue furrowed her brows deeply.
"Killing in an instant is a different matter from such torturous manipulation."
"I donāt know why, but upon witnessing Kong Youās plight, I was filled with an inexplicable rage. Itās as if..." Bai Shuyue was carefully reminiscing the emotions she felt at that moment.
Although her inner turmoil had long since calmed, the intense and sudden impulse left her as if still immersed in it.
Just as she was about to grasp a key insight, Measureless Barrier suddenly shouted, cutting off her thoughts.
"Not good, someone is pursuing us!"
Before the words were finished, a figure had already descended.
A delicate and frail young man, with a trace of elegance still on his face, fixed his gaze on Bai Shuyue and Measureless Barrier, his expression calm yet with a hint of killing intent.
As Bai Shuyue saw the other party, she couldnāt help but think of her nephew. Measureless Barrier, on the other hand, seemed as if confronting former pillars of the Taiyi Palace.
The vigilance in their hearts dissipated completely.
But soon, strands of the Wuji Dao began moving, dissolving the eerie power that enveloped them.
"Hiss, almost got deceived by the opponent. This strange characteristic..." Measureless Barrier protected Bai Shuyue, swiftly pulling away from the suddenly appearing young man, carefully discerning.
He vaguely felt he had seen similar power in some Immortal Instrument in the Immortal World. But having seen countless Living Beings of the Immortal World from his high position in the Taiyi Palace, and since this Immortal Instrument was nothing particularly outstanding, he couldnāt remember it in the short term.
"It surely rotted my brain!"
In contrast to Measureless Barrierās quickly turning thoughts, Bai Shuyue remained much calmer.
Her Jade Pillar appeared once more, pointing forward: "Are you here to avenge Dharma Transmitter Feng?"
"I was initially, but now Iām not." The young manās response was beyond Bai Shuyueās expectations.
He smiled slightly and cupped his hands: "With the cultivation levels of you two seniors, I naturally assume thereās no wanton aggression. Feng must have done something unforgivable to warrant his death. He deserved it; why should I avenge him?"
Bai Shuyue gave a light snort, her expression slightly easing.
"However, on the orders of the Heavenly Sovereign, I am to oversee all affairs of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals. As one of the Dharma Transmitters, Feng died inexplicably. Though it has no substantial impact on the stability of the Alliance, if the Heavenly Sovereign inquires, I must provide an explanation..." The young man bowed to Bai Shuyue and Measureless Barrier.
"I humbly ask the two seniors to recount the cause and effect."
Bai Shuyue hesitated for a moment, considering the young manās reasoning, and then recounted the events, questioning, "Is this how you manage the affairs of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals? Come to think of it, your position is..."
"Dharma Transmitter Jiang?"
Bai Shuyue slightly narrowed her eyes, recalling the Dharma Transmitter whose name was known but whose face was unseen.
"Ah, I remember now, itās him!"
"No wonder, even with the protection of the Wuji Dao, we were still somewhat influenced by him." Measureless Barrier exclaimed again.
Hearing this, Bai Shuyue was finally roused.
In front of this stranger, she had also been unexpectedly agreeable.
Just a moment ago, they were hostile enemies, but with only a few words from the other party, her wariness dissolved. Hardly any hesitation, she acquiesced to his request...
Measureless Barrier quickly explained the origins of Dharma Transmitter Jiangās characteristic "All Things as I".
"Long ago, in the Immortal World, there was an All-Knowing Immortal, claiming to know all mysteries of the Immortal World, past and present. Even the secrets of the Immortal Emperors and Saint Lords were no exception. Initially, the Various Immortals thought his words exaggerated, but after the All-Knowing Immortal wrote an extensive Immortal Emperorās Secret Records, everyone in the Immortal World believed him!"
"Immortal Emperorās Secret Records? What sort of thing is that!"
"If I knew, I wouldnāt be lying comfortably on the roof of the Taiyi Palace! Itās probably forbidden content involving the privacy of past Immortal Emperors. Once published, it enraged the Immortal Emperor, who ordered the capture of the All-Knowing Immortal."
"This act by the All-Knowing Immortal even angered a Hidden Emperor who had not appeared in years, who personally erased the widely spread Immortal Emperorās Secret Records from the memories of the Various Immortals..."
"What happened afterward?" Bai Shuyue asked.
