Yi Zhen set his eyes on the Starry Sky Immortal City. Although Di Jiu hid the source of the light from providence, Yi Zhen could still feel that the light from providence originated from the Sky Bamboo River. However, that was not the key. The most important thing was that the light from providence did not disperse. Instead, it condensed in the river.
No wonder the light from providence in the Newborn Immortal Protectorate flowed to the Sunset Immortal Protectorate. The reason was because the light from providence originated and condensed once again in the Sunset Immortal Protectorate.

This place belongs to the Sky Bamboo Immortal Sect. How could those weaklings build an immortal city here? This is the greatest provocation to the Sky Bamboo Immortal Sect!
someone said furiously.
Everybody knew this person. He was Dou Ze, the sect master of the Sky Bamboo Immortal Sect. Those days, the Sky Bamboo Immortal Sect had an Immortal Emperor expert too. Although Immortal Emperor Da Zhu was not as powerful as the five great Immortal Emperors, he was still an impressive expert. The Sky Bamboo Immortal Sect had faltered, so Dou Ze was the only mid-stage Zenith Heaven Immortal left.
The excited crowd calmed down. Yes, after all, this was the territory of the Sky Bamboo Immortal Sect. Even though they had seized the place, it still belonged to the Sky Bamboo Immortal Sect.
In the Immortal World, the site of a sect was sacred. Taking someone else’s territory was a huge sin which could never be forgiven.
Even the sect master of the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect did not dare pillage other people’s territory in broad daylight. Many cultivators started to plan ways to please the Sky Bamboo Immortal Sect. This was because whoever was closer to the site of the Sky Bamboo Immortal Sect could obtain more Immortal Spirit Qi and stood a higher chance of rising up.

He he…
Someone sneered.
The Sky Bamboo Immortal Sect abandoned this place and went to the Newborn Immortal Protectorate after the sunset came to the Immortal World. Now they are back to say that this place belongs to them. Those shameless people are incredible!

Although Dou Ze sounded extremely angry, he was actually very excited. He did not care about what the Starry Sky Immortal Protectorate was. His current concern was only how to distribute the Starry Sky Immortal Protectorate after he had taken it back.
He was the sect master of the Sky Bamboo Immortal Sect, so he would take the best place. He would discuss the allocation of the other places with Yi Zhen, the sect master of the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect, and determine who could build their sect next to the Sky Bamboo Immortal Sect. He did not even consider that he might be unable to retrieve the Starry Sky Immortal Protectorate.
Furthermore, the Defense Array outside the auxiliary city was merely a level-three array. So what if it was a level-six Defense Array?
Dou Ze, who had never expected to hear someone say that this place did not belong to the Sky Bamboo Immortal Sect, found this outrageous.
When Dou Ze saw Tan Mo, the Manor Lord of the Ultimate Essence Immortal Manor mocking him, he asked with a sullen face,
Manor Lord Tan, what do you mean? Do you think that it is right for someone else to snatch your Ultimate Essence Immortal Manor?

Tan Mo sneered.
My Ultimate Essence Immortal Manor would no longer be mine if I abandoned it. You can take it if you want to.

After saying that, Tan Mo cupped his fists before Luo Jingwen, who was in the auxiliary city.
Long time no see, Sect Master Jing.

Jing Luowen greeted him as well and said in an extremely polite way,
Greetings, Manor Lord Tan.

Lu Xikun also cupped his fists and said.
Greetings, Sect Master Jing. I am Lu Xikun from the Limitless Sword Dao Sect. I heard that you expropriated the light from providence in the Newborn Immortal Protectorate, but I do not quite believe it.

Jing Luowen smiled and said calmly,
Thank you for your trust in me.

She neither rebuked the claim nor expressed her anger for this slander. It was obvious that she had guessed who had maligned her a long time ago.
Lu Xikun spoke once again.
Sect Master Jing, I never expected that a pure, unpolluted land would exist in the Sunset Immortal Protectorate. My Limitless Sword Dao Sect has nowhere to go now. May I know if I could set up a temporary encampment nearby?

There was no need to be polite or reserved, as this was the only livable place in the Immortal World. Being polite at the moment basically meant putting one’s life and sect at risk.
Jing Luowen replied before the other sect masters could speak,
I would love to welcome Sect Master Lu here if this place belonged to me. However, I do not own this place. I am staying at someone else’s place.


Sect Master Jing is right. This place belongs to the Sky Bamboo Immortal Protectorate,
Dou Ze said immediately when he heard Jing Luowen’s words.
Jing Luowen smiled.
I was not referring to the Sky Bamboo Immortal Protectorate.

Di Jiu stood up this time and said,
Sect Master Jing is saying that this place belongs to the Starry Sky Immortal City. Who is this raucous bug?

Jing Luowen remained calm.
City Lord Di is right. Since this place is now the Starry Sky Immortal City, it has nothing to do with the Sky Bamboo Immortal Sect.

Dou Ze was frustrated, but he could not do anything about it because Jing Luowen was an Immortal King and he was only a Zenith Heaven Immortal. He could only turn around and cup his fists in front of Yi Zhen.
Sect Master Yi, please uphold justice for the Sky Bamboo Sect.

After saying that, Dou Ze told Yi Zhen by using voice transmission,
Sect Master Yi, our sects can share the Starry Sky Immortal City equally after we take it back. Sect Master Yi can decide who gets to live around here in the future.

Yi Zhen, who was very satisfied with Dou Ze, took a step forward and walked in front of the Defense Array of the auxiliary city. Then, he looked at Di Jiu and said calmly,
How dare a weakling from the Cultivation World take the site of the Sky Bamboo Immortal Protectorate! Don’t you ever think that you can speak to me just because you have an Immortal King beside you. I am giving you ten seconds to open the Defense Array. Otherwise, don’t blame me for killing all of you.

Di Jiu turned around and told the countless cultivators in the auxiliary city,
This old and ordinary man said that he wants to smash the auxiliary city and kill all of us. Maybe you are not sure who he is, but he is Yi Zhen, the sect master of the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect. Do you know why the sunset arrived in the Immortal World? The members of the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect stole the treasure that ensured the light from providence and caused the light from providence to disperse. What should we do now that this old ordinary man came here to destroy the light from providence in the Starry Sky Immortal Protectorate, which we gathered painstakingly?


We pledge our lives to protect the Starry Sky Immortal Protectorate and destroy the trashy Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect!
countless cultivators in the auxiliary city roared angrily.
The cultivators outside the city were stunned by Di Jiu’s bold claim. How could he say that the sunset in the Immortal World had been caused by the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect, who had taken the treasure that ensured the light from providence? This infuriated Yi Zhen and practically added fuel to the fire.
Even Lu Xikun looked at Di Jiu with a little bit of shock, as he did not dare say such things directly in front of the sect master of the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect, Yi Zhen, even though he had evidence. City Lord Di had to be crazy.
After these words were said, the two sides would have to fight until their last breath. Di Jiu, all the cultivators related to him, as well as the Cultivation Star behind him, would be turned into ashes because of what he had said. Nobody thought that the words of a newly-ascended city lord would cause much harm to the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect.
Yi Zhen’s eyes spit fire when he heard those words. Regardless of the validity of Di Jiu’s claim, such words could tarnish his reputation. Even though no one would confront him, they would still have some hang-ups.
Yi Zhen was not even in the mood to rebut at the moment. He stared at the auxiliary city and said coldly,
Anyone who is willing to conquer this place with me can choose a site to set up their sect.

All the cultivators in the Starry Sky Immortal City were dead in Yi Zhen’s eyes.
Di Jiu was surprised by Yi Zhen’s fury. Maybe his guess was correct. His earlier guess had been based on the fact that the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect could detect where the light from providence was coming and Jing Luowen had told him that sunset had come after the Immortal King Radiant Fortune had disappeared. Therefore, he started to suspect that the Immortal King had taken the Square Immortal Cauldron.
Most of the people who had arrived in the Starry Sky Immortal City were sect masters and members of powerful families. Initially, it had been impossible for Lu Xikun to follow Yi Zhen. However, they had discovered a cultivator from the Sunset Immortal Protectorate when they had dashed out of the Sky Wall Array.
They had found out about the Starry Sky Immortal Protectorate from that cultivator. They heard that a cultivator called Di Jiu had ascended and built the Starry Sky Immortal Protectorate by the Sky Bamboo River, where cultivators could cultivate.
Therefore, everyone had gone there.
Many sect masters and experts walked behind Yi Zhen after hearing what he’d said. Even the sect masters on Lu Xikun’s side decreased by about 50 percent.
It was effortless for the sect master of the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect to defeat an Immortal City built by a weakling. If the sect masters and expects did not join Yi Zhen now, they would not have any opportunities left when the Starry Sky Immortal City was thrashed.
Tan Mo watched many people leave them and frowned.
Brother Lu, what should we do?

Lu Xikun sighed. He would have to follow Yi Zhen if he joined the attacking team. However, if they did not attack the Starry Sky Immortal City, they would not have anywhere to go after the city was defeated.
Lu Xikun hesitated and looked at Jing Luowen, who was standing on the city gate.
Since Sect Master Jing is still here, let’s wait and see.

At least Jing Luowen was an Immortal King. She most likely knew that the Starry Sky Immortal Protectorate would be destroyed when Yi Zhen and his people launched their attack on the city.
