Meanwhile, beneath the long string of palaces along Sanyuan Road, there was a secret underground palace.
Inside the underground palace, a Taoist in red held a long silver sword in his hand. The sword pulsed with starlight, and a miniature twelve stars array diagram was spread out over the blade. The Taoist in red ran his fingers along the sword, moving smoothly over the twelve stars array diagram.
As his fingertips slid over Pisces, there was a dull thud, immediately followed by the stars array diagram dimmingâŠ
The Taoist in red frowned slightly. âIt seems we have some tough ones invading our Immortal Mansion this time. One of my Twelve Stars Palace Array guardian spirits, Pisces, has just died in combat; both its heads were chopped in half.â
The eastern branch chief, holding a cage in his hands on the side, was stunned. âThis bunch of people actually found this place?â
âDid you really think grabbing this sword was that easy? This cat-and-mouse strategy was for the sake of discovering Immortal Mansionâs headquarters.â The Taoist in red laughed.
The eastern branch chief turned pale with fright. âThen what should we do now?â
âIt doesnât matter.â
The Taoist in red waved his hand and stared at the cage in the chiefâs hand. âSince theyâve found us, weâll just get rid of all of them, so I donât have to waste my energy breaking the link between this spirit sword and its owner. Once its owner is dead, itâll no longer have a master.â
âIf I may be so bold as to ask, does Master have the confidence to deal with this bunch?â asked the eastern branch chief.
âTheyâre just bugs.â
The Master of Immortal Mansion laughed as he raised the star sword in his hand. âIt will take a lot of power and spirit energy to deal with my Twelve Stars Palace Array guardian spirits. The Pisces guardian spirit was clumsy and also the weakest of them all. I donât believe the other guardian spirits are that easy to deal with!â
Just as he finished speaking, there was yet another sound of an explosion from the star sword!
Boom⊠boom boom boomâŠ
It was eleven explosions in succession, and the Taoist in red was stupefied.
After that, he saw all the lights on the star sword extinguished in an instant.
The Taoist in red: ââŠâ
The eastern branch chief: âMaster, whatâs happeningâŠâ
The Taoist in red: âItâs the new year soon⊠Iâm setting off firecrackers for you ahead of timeâŠâ
The eastern branch chief: ââŠMaster, who are you kidding⊠thereâs still six months left to the new year!â
The Taoist in red: ââŠâ
For a time, it was an awkward sceneâŠ
After ten seconds, the Taoist in red narrowed his eyes. âHeed my order, raise the alert in Immortal Mansion to the highest level; any suspicious individuals are to be put down without mercy!â
âŠ
Sometimes when he was on a mission with Wang Ling, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal felt that he didnât have much of a presence at all. It was like taking a selfie; most people wouldnât take one with a more attractive person. The best, of course, was if the other party could set them off instead.
And now, he had this feeling⊠he felt that he was setting Wang Ling off perfectly.
In less than five minutes, the Twelve Stars Palace Array guardian spirits had been completely annihilatedâŠ
As soon as those spiritual bodies converged into the form of an array guardian spirit on the ground, Wang Ling crushed each of them with one blow.
Of the twelve guardian spirits, the most unfortunate one had been Virgo; for the spiritual bodies to combine in the correct order, it had taken a long while before Virgo could come down. In the end, it hadnât even finished taking shape before Wang Ling had defeated it in one strikeâŠ
But now wasnât the time to relax.
When he had been routing these array guardian spirits just now, Wang Ling had noticed that their composition wasnât as simple as Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal had thought.
Although these array guardian spirits had been activated by the holy array, there still had to be a magic weapon controlling them from behind. Wang Ling assumed, given the Master of Immortal Mansionâs obsession with spirit swords, that the magic weapon manipulating these spirits was probably a spirit sword.
So in other words, although these array guardian spirits had been crushed for the time being, they werenât really dead. As long as that spirit sword wasnât destroyed, the guardian spirits would make a comeback when the spirit sword was full of energy again.
Wang Ling directly conveyed his speculation telepathically to Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal.
âI think Brother Lingâs speculation makes sense!â
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal nodded in enlightenment.
They had caused quite a bit of a disturbance, which made him a little anxious. âWe shouldnât stay here for long⊠if we remain out in the open, weâll definitely be attacked again by the next round of array guardian spirits. Brother Ling, we have to find a way to sneak into the palace.â
Whether it was a coincidence or not, just as they were about to make a move, the main gates of the palace in front of them opened without warning, and two ladies wearing red veils and blue Taoist robes came out.
Wang Lingâs immediate reaction was that these two had to be from Immortal Mansion. To be able to reside in Immortal Mansionâs headquarters, they had to hold high positions, and furthermore, their cultivation realms would be very high. At the very least, they had to be a level stronger than the eastern branch chief. Behind the veils they were wearing, they looked about twenty-four or twenty-five in age, but were more than a thousand years old.
Most cultivators could use youth-retaining techniques, so it was meaningless to judge their ages from their appearances. The most common way of determining a personâs cultivation was to use your spiritual senses to perceive how weak or strong their aura was.
Wang Lingâs six senses lit up; as soon as these female cultivators had appeared, he had already been able to sense that they had been cultivating for roughly two thousand and six hundred years. They were definitely stronger than the eastern branch chief, yet they werenât qualified to be called Perfected Beings as their innate talents truly werenât up to scratch.
The two ladies wearing red veils stared at Wang Ling for a while. One of them, who had the typical look of an online celebrity, frowned as she said, âAre you the intruders Master was talking about?â
The other female cultivator, who had an oval-shaped face, reminded her, âSister Beauty, be careful⊠the array guardian spirits were at least at Itinerant Immortal level. These two must have some tricks up their sleeves.â
Both Wang Ling and Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal were taken aback.
Beauty?
Was that a Taoist name?
It sounded a little oddâŠ
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal was curious, and turned to look at the lady with the celebrity face. âBeauty⊠is that your Taoist name?â
âIs there a problem?â The female cultivator with the online celebrity look hmphed. âLet me tell you, Iâm called Beauty, and standing next to me is my younger sister Discount 1 . If you dare say weâre not beautiful, weâll break all your three legs!â
âTchâŠâ
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal felt a chill in his crotch.
ââŠâ Wang Ling looked these two female cultivators up and down. He didnât know whether it was because his own beauty standards had gotten worse or that there were more and more of these types of faces online nowadays⊠but he felt that these two were nothing much at all. Their faces werenât as fair as Jingkeâs, their hair werenât as glossy black as Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortalâs, and their legs werenât as long as Fang XingâsâŠ
Of course, it wasnât like they didnât have any good points at all.
At least, they could match Dharmarajaâs chest circumferenceâŠ
