The Wine Immortal, Chi Liuxia, scoffed, a warlike intent gradually appearing on his face.

"In the Western Region of the Central Divine Dynasty, apart from those old fogeys in seclusion, who have I, Chi Liuxia, ever feared? Haha, if Flaming Blade Duan River could entice those top Great Demons from the Profound Yin Demon Sect to come, I, Chi Liuxia, might just make a run for it! Among the Immortal Sects he's gathered, only the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect and the Five Elements Immortal Sect have a few opponents comparable to me. Why should I fear them? Besides, unless those seventy-six Immortal Sects truly mobilize their entire forces and wage war for Tributor Mu, they won't succeed. Even if one Immortal Sect sends a few Earth Immortals, and we end up facing one or two hundred Second and Third Grade Earth Immortals, they still couldn't harm me!"

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect also showed a bold expression. He abruptly stood up and walked outside. "Hmph, so what if all seventy-six Immortal Sects gather at my Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect? Our three Supreme Elders have emerged from seclusion. Along with the Wine Immortal, myself, and the two Vice Sect Leaders, we have seven Earth Immortals at Fifth Grade or higher. I'd like to see just what kind of force the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect and the Five Elements Immortal Sect can muster!"

Reaching the side hall's door, he turned and cupped his hands toward Lin Xuankong.

"Tributor Mu, please rest assured. Since you have joined our Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, even if only for a day, you are an honored Tributor of our sect!

"Moreover, your Artifact Refining Technique is definitely worth our entire sect's effort to protect you. Even without your Artifact Refining Technique, your status as the First Tributor of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect alone means that Earth Immortals from other Immortal Sects cannot easily deal with you!

"I will now arrange for numerous disciples to set up a Linked Array around the Thirty-six Spirit Peaks and the Celebration Hall of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect! This time, our Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect will ensure that the tyrannical Fire Spirit Immortal Sect suffers greatly!"

After speaking, he nodded to Lin Xuankong and turned to leave.

The Wine Immortal, Chi Liuxia, also stood up. GULP, GULP. He downed a large mouthful of spirit wine and then walked outside as well. "Hahaha, Old Li, wait up! I'll help you with setting up the array. My Wine Immortal Sect's Drunken Soul Array hasn't been seen in ages. Perhaps this time, at Tributor Mu's celebration, it will slay a few Earth Immortals, hahaha!"

Lin Xuankong stood in the side hall, watching the two powerful Fifth-Grade Earth Immortals fly out and away, yet his heart did not relax.

Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect had just mentioned seven Fifth-Grade Earth Immortals and his intention to set up an array. He appeared full of bold confidence, yet a trace of worry still lingered between his brows. It was obvious. The Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect currently had dozens of Earth Immortals, seven of whom were Fifth-Grade, and many Earth Immortals and disciples proficient in setting up arrays. But even so, this Sect Leader of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect was still deeply worried! Lin Xuankong knew very well. Although the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect possessed many Earth Immortals, and its strength and foundation placed it among the powerhouses of the numerous Immortal Sects in the Central Divine Dynasty's Western Region—indeed, it was one of the Twelve Great Immortal Sects of the Western Region—the reputation of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect was by no means inferior. In fact, it might even surpass it. After all, the fact that Flaming Blade Duan River dared to act so recklessly within the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's territory already demonstrated that the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect's overall strength was definitely not less than that of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect! And that was just the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect... The Five Elements Immortal Sect, where Xiaoo Yan and Feng Lingling hailed from, was also one of the Central Divine Dynasty's Twelve Great Immortal Sects. It was even faintly regarded as the foremost among the Twelve Great Immortal Sects of the Central Divine Dynasty's Western Region! Beyond them, there were over seventy other Immortal Sects, large and small. Even if each Immortal Sect sent only one Earth Immortal, that would total more than seventy Earth Immortals—more than double the number in the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. What if each Immortal Sect sent two Earth Immortals? Or three...? The situation was far from optimistic! What if the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect couldn't withstand the intimidation from the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect and the numerous other Immortal Sects? Or what if, after putting up a fight, they couldn't hold out against their combined assault? It wasn't impossible that they might just sell me out! After all, even though Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect had said I was part of the sect... I ultimately hadn't been with the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect for long, nor had I provided them with any significant benefits. Why would they let dozens of their Earth Immortals risk their lives for me? Wouldn't living a carefree, comfortable life as an Immortal be far more enjoyable for them? Moreover, those Earth Immortals coming after me were all veritable old monsters who had cultivated for thousands of years. The methods they possessed were undoubtedly countless times more numerous and potent than those of even the strongest cultivators in the Great Xia Dynasty! If any of those Earth Immortals had some insidious Immortal Technique and used it against me secretly, it wasn't impossible! Considering all this, I absolutely must make thorough preparations!

Lin Xuankong paced slowly in the side hall, his mind racing.

A moment later, the sound of footsteps came from the back hall. Young Lady Lii Xiaolan, Second Lady Zhao Yufei, Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er, Xiao Xiuyi, and the Lin Family Seven Tigers all emerged.

Worry was evident on everyone's faces. Clearly, they had all cultivated to the Early Stage of the Tenth Level; their hearing far surpassed that of ordinary people, and they had overheard the conversation between Lin Xuankong, Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, and the Wine Immortal Chi Liuxia.

Young Lady Lii Xiaolan walked up to Lin Xuankong, a determined look in her beautiful eyes.

"Husband, why don't I go find Master Qu Wan'Er? She has been refining Spirit Elixirs for over a thousand years and has connections with many Earth Immortals. Indeed, many powerful Earth Immortals owe her favors. If Master Qu Wan'Er steps in, I'm sure she can find many powerful Earth Immortals to help us!"
