A group of people knelt down around them with a flurry.
Only a few Mahayana Realm experts stood there, but they also bowed their heads in salutation.
The six Loose Immortals were indeed somewhat moved.
They whispered, "Fellows, please rise. We need to discuss this matter."
"There is probably not enough time to communicate with the Immortal Realm. The six of us do have some authority to handle this matter fully. Please give us some time."
Hope suddenly appeared in the eyes of the Daoists present.
The six Loose Immortals went to the back hall to discuss through transmission, while the cultivators in the hall anxiously awaited the result.
Wang Jixuan didn't mind that Tianluo took more cultivators; that way, there would be less work for him to do here.
However, after a moment of discussion, the six Tianluo Loose Immortals finally gave a number.
Each expert who met Tianluo's recruitment criteria could bring along blood relatives within three generations.
The cultivators present fell silent.
They were waiting for the decisions of the various sect leaders, and once the Sect Leader instructed them to follow the orders of the Tianluo Loose Immortals, naturally, most of them would make some noise about it.
A Female Cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Realm suddenly smiled wryly: "Thank you for the goodwill of the seniors, but I choose to die with my disciples rather than be scolded for being a useless master."
Saying this, the Female Cultivator turned and walked out of the hall, her back filled with loneliness.
Hiding in the corner and observing, Wang Jixuan was a bit confused.
This actress wasn't in the script, was she?
The Female Cultivator didn't seem to be acting either...
After the Female Cultivator left, it was as if a switch had been flipped in the emotions of those around, and many people turned and walked out of the hall.
The six Tianluo Loose Immortals also appeared somewhat anxious at this sight.
Their lack of manpower had long been an issue, and if this group of cultivators joined their branch, the number of tasks they could complete each year would increase significantly!
"Fellows..."
"Ahem! Everyone, please hold on!"
Wang Jixuan spread his arms and shouted loudly.
Immediately, all eyes in the hall converged on him.
The Daoist Tai Ye quickly said, "Fellow Daoists, please hold your steps and listen to what this young brother has to say!"
Wang Jixuan instantly felt the pressure of the six Loose Immortals.
However...
This pressure was nothing compared to that of a True Immortal or a Heavenly Immortal—as easy-going as a splash of water.
Master Wang said with a smile, "Excuse me," while squeezing out from the crowd. He greeted everyone with a shallow Daoist bow with hands clasped, then inserted his hands into his sleeves and said with a broad smile:
"I have a plan. I wonder if my fellow Daoists would be willing to hear it."
A Tianluo Loose Immortal frowned and asked, "Fellow, who might you be?"
Wang Jixuan squinted and smiled, "Haven't you six been looking for me outside this realm for so long, and yet you still don't know who I am?"
The expressions of the six froze immediately.
Two of the more hot-tempered ones directly drew their swords and stood up.
"It's you! The fugitive pursued by the Heavenly Dao!"
"I advise everyone not to act rashly," Wang Jixuan raised his chin slightly.
In the next moment, several hundred miles away, at the site of a battle a few days ago, a million Mechanical Army units simultaneously raised their laser cannon barrels and fired beams into the sky.
This light and shadow were directly transmitted into the great hall.
The gazes of the six Tianluo Loose Immortals quickly became clear again.
All the cultivators present stepped back several paces in unison, making the empty space in the middle even emptier.
Master Wang said indifferently, "Instead of arguing whether I am a fugitive, why not ask the Heavenly Dao Stele again? See how the Heavenly Dao Stele comments about me. I can wait, but in the meantime, it's best for you to remain calm to avoid accidentally harming good people!"
The six Loose Immortals showed even more apprehension in their eyes.
One of them shouted harshly, "Stop pretending! Who exactly are you?"
"I'm just a passerby, coming from the void and going back to the void."
Wang Jixuan walked forward, neither hurried nor slow, and said:
"The Dark Sect attacked this place, and during the first wave, the six of you couldn't hold them off at all. If it weren't for my intervention, these people here would have already been wiped out.
"Oh, wait, according to your plans, some would have been taken away by you to flee to your stronghold, where they would harbor deep hatred for the Dark Sect.
"Isn't that right?"
The six Loose Immortals showed more dread in their eyes.
They had been searching for Wang Jixuan's whereabouts, as well as the hiding place of those Mechanical Bodies.
"Fellow Daoist," a woman among the six smiled radiantly and said, "Why don't you return to the Heavenly Dao Stele with us? It would naturally clarify whether you're a fugitive or not."
"If I were to talk with you, I'd go to the Immortal Realm and talk to your headquarters' Immortals."
Wang Jixuan said leisurely:
"The only reason I intervened in this realm is to save the cultivators here.
"To be honest, this realm has some connections with me, and I once promised a friend to protect a certain sect here.
"Moreover, I find that Dark Sect quite unpleasant.
"You may take a look at what this is."
Master Wang withdrew his hands from his sleeves and flicked his fingers, and a Jade Bottle landed in the woman's hand.
The woman's expression changed slightly, and she handed the bottle to the person beside her.
The bottle contained Elixirs.
And it was the uniquely made Immortal Pill by the Tianluo Alchemist at the Tianluo Headquarters in the Immortal Realm, distributed to various branches for exchange using Contribution Points.
Wang Jixuan reminded, "Return it to me after you take a look."
The six of them visibly relaxed.
The woman personally came forward to return the Immortal Pill back with both hands.
At this moment, it was quite dangerous;
Although Wang Jixuan showed a Dao Realm below Mahayana, and the woman was a genuine Loose Immortal, their bodies were getting closer, and Wang Jixuan didn't have any intent to dodge. If the woman suddenly turned aggressive...
"Fellow Daoist, here's the Dan for you."
"Mm," Wang Jixuan casually took back the Immortal Pill, his fingers almost half an inch from hers.
A harsh light flashed in the woman's eyes.
Wang Jixuan pretended not to see it.
Would these six dare to make a move?
Clearly unlikely.
The woman's harsh stare was merely to provoke Wang Jixuan into dodging, thereby giving her side the upper hand, but as Wang Jixuan remained calm, she couldn't think of any other tactics for the moment and said in appreciation: "Fellow Daoist must be close to Ascension, with a solid Tao Foundation and upright Qi. It seems you're definitely not a Demon Cultivator. Presumably, are you working for the True Immortal who appeared that day?"
"Hmm?" Wang Jixuan chuckled awkwardly, "Are you probing for information about our organization?"
"Dare not; I'm just curious."
"You should ask the Heavenly Dao Stele about this," Wang Jixuan replied slowly, "With all these eyes watching, a fellow as beautiful as flowers and the moon should not be whispering secrets with me."
The woman laughed and said, "Aren't you also free-spirited and handsome, Fellow Daoist?"
After speaking, she lightly tapped her toes and flew back to the other five Loose Immortals.
Wang Jixuan brought the conversation back to the main point:
"Let's discuss—our two sides should make a deal. You can take Nascent Soul, Unification, Tribulation Crossing, Mahayana from this realm, and I'll take those below Nascent Soul.
"You take quality, I go for quantity.
"I'm not taking them without reason; I plan to have them serve me.
"But fellows, rest assured, I'll only choose a small elite group to join my organization. The majority who leave with me, I will settle in a paradise, allowing them to continue passing down your Tao inheritance.
"Moreover, I can't take too many. The major sects only permit six thousand in total.
"Aren't they much more generous?"
The heroes in this realm looked at each other in dismay.
"This..."
"Fellow Daoist, this sounds awful."
Wang Jixuan cleared his throat: "The Dark Sect will reach in twelve days, giving you more time to consider. Of course, if any cultivators above the Nascent Soul Realm also want to go with me, that's possible too."
An old monk asked, "Amitabha Buddha, if we flee without fighting, wouldn't this realm fall into the clutches of the Dark Sect? What about the myriad sentient beings?"
"The Heavenly Dao will not allow the Dark Sect to slaughter mortals, at least not in this realm."
Wang Jixuan said calmly:
"The rights and wrongs here are too complex for me to discuss with all of you.
"All I can do is rescue a group of cultivators and send them to other realms to escape the Dark Sect's pursuit.
"As for..."
"Haha, not even an Immortal, yet so pompous."
Suddenly, an unpleasant sneer came from outside the great hall.
Wang Jixuan's expression turned slightly cold, and he turned his head sharply, his eyes piercing.
Four ghostly figures—unknown how they employed their Divine Skills—suspended outside the great hall, vibrant and lifelike, but merely projections, not living beings.
From their revealed Daoist charm, Wang Jixuan quickly made a judgment.
Dark Sect Members;
and from the Immortal Realm.
