Chapter 2865: Has the Junior Sect Master of the Xuantian Immortal Sect Died?

The Immortal Alchemist Alliance had sent a total of four people, all of whom were ’Monarch Grade Alchemists’ among top-tier alchemists.

Accompanying them were three ’Nine Palaces Immortal Lords’ and one ’Ten Directions Immortal Lord’!

The large Pill Tao Plaza, with its eight chairs facing in all four directions on the stone platform at the center, was specially prepared for them... Here, they were ’guests’ as well as the people invited by the top sects of the six southeastern regions to preside over the Pill Tao Assembly.

"Alchemist Barnes, let’s go over and greet these alchemists from the Immortal Alchemist Alliance."

After saying this to Wyatt Barnes, the Elder Ancestor of Tai Yi Sect led the way towards the stone platform in the distance.

Immediately, Wyatt Barnes and Hunter Swayer, along with others, followed him.

Throughout, Leilany accompanied Wyatt Barnes on his sides, but now her gaze did not just fall on Wyatt. Occasionally, it shifted to the distance, landing on the spot where the people of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect were gathered.

Her gaze landed on a veiled woman among the people from the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect.

It was ’Milana Harrington’.

When Leilany looked at Milana Harrington, envy clearly flickered deep within her eyes.

Wyatt Barnes had told Leilany about Milana Harrington.

Precisely because of this, Leilany envied Milana Harrington very much, because her Brother Leandro acknowledged Milana Harrington as his woman...

While she stayed by her Brother Leandro’s side all the time, she could clearly feel:

Her Brother Leandro intentionally avoided her feelings for him and, to some extent, only viewed her as a ’younger sister’.

This was not what she wanted.

Currently, Wyatt Barnes naturally did not know Leilany’s thoughts, nor did he know:

As Leilany became more worldly, she no longer had a vague understanding of matters between men and women, and had even started to develop feelings for him that she could not escape.

"Alchemist Chapman!"

"Alchemist Colby!"

...

When Wyatt Barnes and the others arrived at the stone platform, many people from the top sects of the six southeastern regions who had arrived at the Pill Tao Plaza also gathered around, greeting the four Monarch Grade Alchemists from the Immortal Alchemist Alliance.

After greeting them, they dispersed one after another, followed closely by another group of people stepping forward.

Of course, some top sects had not arrived yet.

For example, the most powerful sect in the Crossing Region, known as the number one sect in the six southeastern regions, the ’Xuantian Immortal Sect,’ had not arrived yet.

"Such a beautiful woman!"

"Is she the peerless beauty from the Tai Yi Immortal Sect that has been rumored recently?"

...

Wherever Leilany went, without a veil or hat, she was the focal point of attention.

If Leilany’s current status was not of someone from the Tai Yi Immortal Sect, a lot of hot-blooded men would have likely forcibly taken her away by now.

"Third Senior Sister... in my eyes, you are the most beautiful. I don’t think she’s prettier than you."

On the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect’s side, Alisson said to Milana Harrington.

Upon hearing Alisson’s words, Milana Harrington smiled faintly, "Alisson, since when did you also learn to lie? This lady Leilany, with her perfect beauty, unmatched in the world, far outclasses me... I am aware of that."

As she said this, Milana Harrington glanced subtly at Wyatt Barnes beside Leilany, muttering to herself, "With such a peerless beauty beside him... it probably won’t be long before he completely forgets about me..."

Murmuring to herself, Milana Harrington felt a hint of sourness in her heart.

In the past, before seeing this man again, she only missed him and couldn’t help but worry about his safety.

Upon meeting this man again, especially seeing such a peerless beauty by his side, she realized that unknowingly, she had deeply rooted feelings for him...

And just at this moment.

"The people from the Xuantian Immortal Sect have arrived!"

"It’s the people from the Xuantian Immortal Sect!"

...

Accompanied by bursts of exclamations, immediately, the gaze of everyone on the Pill Tao Plaza fell collectively on the group of people who had just walked onto the plaza.

The group entering the Pill Tao Plaza now was led by a middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man, with an average build and ordinary appearance, still held a sense of majesty.

At the first sight of this middle-aged man, Wyatt Barnes felt a sense of deja vu between his brows, and after a slight pondering, knew why.

"He should be the Sect Leader of Xuantian Immortal Sect, ’Infinite Buckingham’!"

This middle-aged man’s features bore some resemblance to the Junior Sect Master of Xuantian Immortal Sect, ’Preston Buckingham,’ whom he had met before.

And now, many people recognized this group as the people from the Xuantian Immortal Sect.

As the Sect Leader, naturally, he walked at the forefront, making it easy for Wyatt Barnes to speculate:

This middle-aged man was indeed the current Sect Leader of the Xuantian Immortal Sect, Infinite Buckingham!

"The Sect Leader of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect also seems to be a ’Nine Palaces Immortal Lord.’

Previously, the Taiyi Old Ancestor told him that the most powerful in the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect are three ’Ten Directions Immortal Lords.’ Below them are several Nine Palaces Immortal Lords, and the Sect Leader of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect is one of those Nine Palaces Immortal Lords.

"Alchemist Barnes, he is Xuanyuan Immortal Sect’s Sect Leader, Infinite Buckingham."

At the same time, Wyatt Barnes heard the voice of Taiyi Old Ancestor, "The elderly man in a green robe behind him is one of the four protectors of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, the ’Azure Dragon Protector,’ and like him, is a Nine Palaces Immortal Lord."

Upon hearing the Taiyi Old Ancestor’s words, Wyatt Barnes’s gaze immediately fell on the elderly man in a green robe behind the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect’s Sect Leader, Infinite Buckingham.

Previously, he had heard from the Taiyi Old Ancestor:

Besides the three Ten Directions Immortal Lord-level Supreme Elders, there are also four protectors, who, like the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect’s Sect Leader, are Nine Palaces Immortal Lords.

The Xuanyuan Immortal Sect’s four protectors are named after the ’Four Symbols’: the Azure Dragon Protector, the White Tiger Protector, the Vermilion Bird Protector, and the Black Tortoise Protector.

According to the Taiyi Old Ancestor, this time accompanying Infinite Buckingham from Xuanyuan Immortal Sect is indeed one of the four protectors, the ’Azure Dragon Protector.’

"Is he the Azure Dragon Protector of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect?"

As soon as Wyatt Barnes’s gaze landed on the elderly man in the green robe, the elderly man immediately looked over. The sharp gaze emitted from his clouded eyes was as piercing as a knife or sword, compelling Wyatt Barnes to immediately avert his gaze.

"What a terrifying gaze..."

Wyatt Barnes shuddered internally, feeling for the first time the dreadfulness of the Nine Palaces Immortal Lord. Just a single glance left him palpitating, as if his heart had stopped beating for that moment.

Under the watchful eyes of all, the group from Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, led by Infinite Buckingham, walked towards the stone platform at the center of the Pill Tao Plaza.

As the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect group neared the stone platform, the eight people on the platform descended one after another to greet them.

It’s important to know that, prior to this, even when people from the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect and the Amitabha Happy Zen Sect approached, the eight people on the stone platform did not descend; they simply greeted them while standing on the platform.

Now, facing the people of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, they all stepped down from the stone platform.

From this, one could see that the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect’s status in the hearts of these eight people far surpassed that of the Merciful Voyage Immortal Sect and the Amitabha Happy Zen Sect.

Just as the group from Xuanyuan Immortal Sect gathered with the eight people who descended from the stone platform, exchanging polite conversations...

A rapid voice tinged with a sense of weariness suddenly came from outside:

"Sect Leader! Sect Leader!"

Though the voice was somewhat weary, in the temporarily quiet Pill Tao Plaza, due to the arrival of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect group, it was exceptionally loud and clearly penetrated into the ears of everyone inside.

Moments later, under everyone’s gaze, a young man soaked in blood limped into the Pill Tao Plaza. His face was covered in blood, and as soon as he entered, he began looking around anxiously.

"Little Six!"

In the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect group, a middle-aged man in a silver robe couldn’t help but change his expression drastically upon seeing the newcomer.

This was because the blood-soaked young man was his personal disciple.

"Huh?"

Meanwhile, Infinite Buckingham, Sect Leader of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, also frowned, his face darkening.

This blood-soaked young man was indeed the personal disciple of their Xuanyuan Immortal Sect’s Second Elder. His exceptional talent could rank in the top three among the young generation of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect.

"Master!"

Upon hearing the exclamation from the silver-robed man, the young man promptly looked over and ran forward. However, instead of going to the silver-robed man’s side, he directly went up to Infinite Buckingham.

Thud!

The next moment, under everyone’s watchful eyes, the young man knelt in front of Infinite Buckingham, his face full of grief. He opened his mouth as if wanting to say something, but choked up and found it difficult to speak.

"Little Six, what are you doing?"

Infinite Buckingham frowned.

"Little Six?"

And the silver-robed man’s face also changed. Upon seeing this scene, he couldn’t help but feel a bit of panic.

He knew his disciple very well.

Unless something had happened, there was no way his disciple would act like this.

Immediately, an ominous feeling rose in his heart.

"Sect Leader, Senior Brother Stetson... Senior Brother Stetson..."

Finally, the young man spoke up, but his voice trembled ceaselessly. It took him a long moment before he could fully express himself.

"Novah? What’s happened to Novah?"

Seeing the young man so distraught, Infinite Buckingham’s face changed drastically. Simultaneously, as he lifted his hand, a Soul Bead appeared. Seeing the Soul Bead intact, he couldn’t help but sigh in relief.

However, soon after, his expression changed.

Because he discovered that the Soul Bead, which originally stored the soul energy of his son Preston Buckingham, was now devoid of any soul energy, leaving it empty.

Under such conditions, the Soul Bead could no longer reflect his son’s life or death.

"Senior Brother Stetson... he has been killed!"

And as Infinite Buckingham’s face changed drastically, the young man finally managed to articulate what he wanted to say, "It was Beckham Ho of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, the Taiyi Old Ancestor... he’s the one who killed Senior Brother Stetson!"
