Silently retracting his Eighth Celestial Eye, Lin Xuankong felt a flicker of surprise. He hadn't even reached the Central Divine Dynasty, yet he had already encountered a Late Stage Fifth Grade Earth Immortal. Indeed, the outside world is very dangerous! If I didn't have the Eighth Celestial Eye, I would never have guessed that this disheveled fellow before me was a High-Grade Earth Immortal at the Late Stage of Fifth Grade! An Earth Immortal of this realm, if they were to activate their Immortal Body, it would probably be at least thousands of feet tall. A casual breath of Immortal Qi from him could severely injure Li Xiaohu and the others around me. Of course, I certainly wouldn't be able to withstand a full-force strike from him either! Facing such a terrifying powerhouse, the only means I have to save my life are probably these few Tier Two Celestial Demon Bones and my Tier Nine Celestial Demon Bone!

After these thoughts ran through his mind, Lin Xuankong pretended to suddenly recognize the cultivator before him, a 'very realistic' trace of surprise appearing on his face. "No wonder you look so familiar! I never imagined the legendary Wine Immortal, Elder Chi, would be here! I am Mu Shiba, from the Great Xia Dynasty. These are all my sworn brothers!"

Flattery never fails!

Seeing Lin Xuankong suddenly adopt such a humble posture before this Earth Immortal Powerhouse, Li Xiaohu, Han Lu, Yang Shan, and Li Er all tensed, becoming alert. They did not possess the Eighth Celestial Eye, so naturally, they couldn't perceive how terrifying the drunken old man before them was. Indeed, even another Earth Immortal wouldn't be able to discern his grade and various talents without a direct confrontation. However, seeing Lin Xuankong's respectful demeanor, they instinctively understood. They all positioned themselves behind Lin Xuankong and cupped their hands towards Chi Liuxia in greeting.

Chi Liuxia had been scrutinizing Lin Xuankong and the others. However, upon seeing their respectful display, he couldn't help but feel a touch of self-satisfaction. He raised his Wine Gourd, took a large swig—GULP, GULP—and then let out a loud belch. BURP!

Reeking of alcohol, he said, "The Great Xia Dynasty is a million miles away from my Wine Immortal Sect. It's quite surprising that you recognized me! Your name is Mu Shiba, right? You still haven't answered the question I asked earlier. There shouldn't be any prominent Mu Family in Great Xia, should there?"

Although Chi Liuxia's words still carried a sense of pressure, his tone was now warmer and more approachable. Indeed, Immortals are people too; they also enjoy being praised.

A smile touched Lin Xuankong's lips. "There wasn't one before, but there will be a prominent Mu Family in the future!" He gestured towards Li Xiaohu and the others. "These cultivators are also part of my Mu Family!"

As soon as Lin Xuankong finished speaking, Yang Shan, who was beside him, decisively cupped his hands and said, "I am Mu Shan. Greetings to the Wine Immortal, Elder Chi!"

"I am Mu Shuo. Greetings to the Wine Immortal, Elder Chi!"

"I am Mu Er. Greetings to the Wine Immortal, Elder Chi!"

"I am Mu Lu. Greetings to the Wine Immortal, Elder Chi!"...

Listening to the voices behind him, Lin Xuankong nodded slightly. They all reacted so quickly. This team is indeed easy to lead; everyone is perfectly in sync! However, thinking about their recent responses... Lin Xuankong couldn't help but glance at Han Lu. Mu Lu? Sounds like 'directory'? What a unique name!

After this inner jest, Lin Xuankong shifted the topic. Gazing ahead, he said, "Elder Chi, earlier on the main road, I saw a Buddhist Bodhisattva confronting several Earth Immortal Powerhouses. Do you know what's happening over there? I hope you can enlighten me, Elder."

Upon hearing this, Chi Liuxia's eyes flickered. He floated up, glanced ahead, and after a moment, landed back on the ground. He let out a small belch, raised an eyebrow, and said, "It's some fellows from the Profound Yin Demon Sect clashing with a Bodhisattva from Spirit Platform Buddhism. Interesting, very interesting! The Profound Yin Demon Sect, as the First Demon Sect, claims to single-handedly resist the eight hundred Immortal Sects of the Central Divine Dynasty. Unfortunately for them, this time they're up against Spirit Platform Buddhism! Although the Profound Yin Demon Sect is incredibly powerful in the north, it cannot overpower Spirit Platform Buddhism. Spirit Platform Buddhism dominates the western part of the Central Divine Dynasty and is hailed as the foremost Buddhist Sect, the one all Buddhist cultivators aspire to join. Its strength is certainly not inferior to that of the Profound Yin Demon Sect! However, I find it rather strange. The two sects are separated by the entire Central Divine Dynasty and Boundaryless Mountain. Despite their completely opposing philosophies, they've coexisted for tens of thousands of years, like well water not mixing with river water—each minding their own business. Their relationship is like Widow Zhang not troubling Widow Ma. So why would the Profound Yin Demon Sect travel such a vast distance to stir up trouble in Spirit Platform Buddhism's territory?"

A disciple of the Wine Immortal Sect standing beside Chi Liuxia spoke respectfully, "According to information received from our sect members some time ago, it seems the Six Demon Sects of the Rakshasa Kingdom, which had recently pledged allegiance to the Profound Yin Demon Sect, were completely annihilated for some unknown reason!

"Judging by the current situation, the Profound Yin Demon Sect has likely dispatched Earth Demon Realm experts to the Great Xia Dynasty to investigate the truth. After all, the Profound Yin Demon Sect calls itself the First Demon Sect and even dares to confront the Central Divine Dynasty head-on. How could they possibly tolerate others attacking their subordinate sects!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuankong's expression flickered. Just as I expected. The Profound Yin Demon Sect came this time because of what happened to the Eight Great Demon Venerables... Fortunately, I had the foresight to never reveal my true identity as Lin Xuankong. Now, almost no one in the entire Great Xia Dynasty knows that the humble Supreme Elder of the Yin Talisman Sect was the 'hero' who wiped out the Six Great Demon Sects!
