Chapter 12


    Four beams of light soared through the sky, their destination the Bai n''s headquarters. The leading beam of light was also the brightest, shining bright with a deep blue color. This was none other then Omis, he mentallymunicated with Bai Yu using his divine sense.


    "So it turns out your Bai n is situated here." He nodded with approval.


    Hearing his praise, Bai Yu''s face lit up in happiness as he puffed his chest out in pride. Their Bai n was considered as one of the top three holynds of the earthly realm along with the Void sect and the Sword mount sect. Their ancestral mountain was something that they were immensely proud of and to hear it being praised by the Immortal mentor himself! Bai Yu was ecstatic!


    "It''s nothing big senior, I hope you wouldn''t mind." He replied calmly, his tone betraying him as he tried to hide his grin.


    Looking at the mountain ahead, Omis was not impressed. He had seen mountains that would put the one in front of him to shame, he had visited pces that would make the Bai n''s look like dirt, yet he didn''t mention any of that as it was true that in earthly standards the Bai n was indeed quite impressive.


    As Omis and the rest flew over to the mountain, the giant white array surrounding it opened up allowing a group of people out, leading them was the patriarch himself while behind him were the elders, strangely the fourth and fifth elders were missing. As Omis flew closer, in a united booming voice the entire disciples of the Bai n including the patriarch and the elders shouted.


    "WE HUMBLY WELCOME THE ESTEEMED IMMORTAL MENTOR!"


    In the sky, the patriarch along with the elders had their heads lowered in respect while on the ground rows of disciples were on their knees in worship. Looking at the scene facing him, Omis couldn''t help but think


    ''Sigh...I must preserve my image of having an expert''s demeanor!'' as he silently admonished himself in his heart, while he also couldn''t help but feel satisfied when looking at everyone''s worshiping gaze. Omis then proceeded to move his hands behind his back as his gaze calmly observed the people present.


    "Rise," He spoke in an authoritative voice that was heard in the ears of all those present. Slowly the patriarch was the first to lift his head followed by the elders before finally the disciples on the ground.


    Looking at the person in front of him, the patriarch gulped in nervousness. It was without a doubt the esteemed mentor! He couldn''t help but feel his old heart jumping in excitement, this was a legendary figure a true Immortal and he came to his own doorstep, at this moment the patriarch wished to kiss Bai Yu''s head for convincing him toe. Just imagining the faces of those old monsters from the Void and Sword mount sect was enough to make him break outughing, but he couldn''t do such thing, not in front of the esteemed mentor.


    The thousands of disciples bellow all had different thoughts running through their minds, they had no idea who they were weing until thest minute when the patriarch himself made a speech that they would-be hosts to the famous Immortal mentor! A lot of people had their doubts at first, but the patriarch was not one to make jokes, and seeing the number of resources and preparations ordered dispelled a lot of their initial doubts, but now that the mentor was actually in front of their eyes most were unable to believe it.


    This was a figure that roamed the world long before their era! A figure that had a direct hand in shaping the modern cultivation world! And that figure was in front of them! No one knew who it was that started it, but soon the sound of knees hitting the ground once more could be heard as the thousands of disciples kowtowed in worship.


    Looking at the scene, the patriarch felt immensely proud of his disciples and mentally shouted in his heart


    ''YES! Good disciples! Good! Good! Good!'' he turned his attention back to Omis as he tried to study his facial expression, yet failing to find anything as his face was as indifferent as it was before.


    "If Senior would follow this humble one." He said in a respectful tone as he moved his hand in front of him to allow Omis to pass first.


    Nodding, Omis flew first towards the peak of the ancestral mountain. Before leaving the patriarch looked back at the thousands of disciples silently kowtowing on the ground before giving them a mental thumbs-up, they had not made him lose face in front of the mentor. He then hastily followed after Omis along with the elders, temporarily pushing his worries of the sudden disappearance of the fourth and fifth elders to the corner of his mind, their life talisman had not shattered so they were at least still alive.


    ***********************************************


    Further away from the Bai n''s headquarters, two massive armies were steadily marching towards the n. Their aura seemed to oppress the heaven''s itself as silently marched towards their destination. One of the armies, had its cultivators done purple Daoist robes, their high ranked elders and disciples rode purple clouds while the rest marched on the ground in unison, this was the Void sect''s army, the second army was different, all their members had a sword equipped while their high ranked disciples and elders flew on top of flying swords followed by an army of cultivators on the ground all carrying swords, this was the Sword mount sect, the number one sword sect in the world!


    Following in a distance behind said two armies, was arge number of mid-tier and small-tier sects and ns. Ever since the news of the Immortal mentor being in the Bai n, hundreds of sects and ns wanted to make their move but none dared do so as the Bai n was considered one of the three holynds of the earthly realm, yet when they heard that the other holynds would be marching towards it most ns and sects choose to follow behind. This was an opportunity no one could miss as it could spell demise for the Bai n, so most of those present hoped to reap some type of rewards out of it. As for the Immortal mentor? Some believed it to be true that he indeed was in the Bai n, others thought that this was nothing but fake news spread by the Void and sword mount sects to find a reason to get rid of onepetitor.
