Although it’s a pity, there’s nothing to complain about. Originally, this Empire Era, as Yao and Sui Yi speculated, is the first step of the Western world strong figures’ ambition. Three days is too short, leaving the forces everywhere no time to negotiate. Indeed, those who can’t endure first die!
Fortunately, the Peach Blossom Source incident has made cultivators more cautious recently, and with the Imperial Guards teaming up with the Central Prison, coupled with Mo Ke’s strengthened oversight over various sectors after uniting the Noble Clans, the losses were directly curbed at those unlucky ones in Yunnan.
And now, as the country unifies its departure, a mighty group moves, even the Skeleton Society dares not to intervene, this is called being prudent.
So this becomes a place of solace for the many overseas Chinese strong figures.
However, they are relatively unfamiliar with these newly emerging successors like Gong Jiu, while they are more acquainted with old hands like Huang Long, so upon reuniting, the frequency of mentions is naturally higher for Huang Long. Of course, after mentioning old friends, Mo Ke and Ye Zixu must be brought up.
And also Yhan Qingwu.
The Tang Sect, a domestic force well-connected with The Gate, had international connections early on. When Yhan Qingwu went abroad for recuperation back in the days, she also followed the Tang Sect’s way, establishing numerous overseas connections over the past decade. After Sui Yi returned, due to searching for Yi, she often stayed in New York. As the saying goes, being prepared ensures no worries, her depth of connection with these overseas Hermit strong figures far exceeds that of the Imperial Guards and Mo Ke. By coincidence, just as news came from the World Trade Center, Yhan Qingwu grasped the key point, promptly contacted Mo Ke and Yi Chilian, conveyed the message, and simultaneously reached out to other overseas strong figures. This timely intelligence promptly salvaged the losses. Now, when a crowd meets, there’s a natural sense of awe for youthful emergence.
Hardly anyone brings up Sui Yi.
It’s not that they don’t know of Sui Yi, but they can’t mention her.
As mighty as she is, those who reach Void-breaking Level are beyond the discussions of those below. Especially in public places, such old rules are strict among the older generations, hence not a single word is mentioned.
Eating, talking.
"They’ve come."
Many instinctively stand up.
In front of the China Gate, cars parked one after another, then individuals got out.
The leading car carried Gu Qi, with Gu Sansi and Bai Yu stepping out together.
One is the head of the Imperial Guards, another is the head of the Central Prison, and then there’s...
"The Gu Family’s Prophet..."
Someone said cautiously.
A Prophet, a child worshipped since birth, once just a baby in their eyes, but now?
When Gu Sansi got out of the car, many elites at The Gate couldn’t help but become focused.
It’s said that in the Vatican, the one who practices Prophecy most profoundly can capture a Void-breaking Master with just one look.
Because Prophets, as heaven’s favored, possess innate extraordinary charm.
One gaze sees through you, one smile captures you.
Thankfully, Gu Sansi doesn’t enjoy smiling at people. Mo Ke, descending from the second car, was an exception; otherwise, almost none.
Well, except for that person.
Mo Ke got off, just in time to stand beside Gu Sansi who was looking back at the Orchid on the wall.
"Gong Jiu and the others aren’t coming, what a shame," they heard Huang Long sighing behind, lamenting the good relations with Gong Jiu—mainly because Gong Jiu and Flower Demon are rather fond of eating, giving him, the chef, face.
"It’s strange indeed, they usually enjoy lively occasions, why wouldn’t they come?"
Huang Long puzzled, Ye Zixu bluntly reasoned: "Because Sui Yi isn’t coming."
"Huh, how come I feel like Sui Yi will come... Although she usually abstains from matters, yet at such a juncture, I feel she’ll be here."
"Even if she will come, so what? They belong to Loose Cultivators, not possessing speaking rights, rather than listening here, they might as well engage in necessary affairs..."
Huang Long realized, no wonder Gong Jiu and the others were so busy before, they must be hastening to New York... Unlike these old-school Masters, the younger generation like Gong Jiu are obviously rooted internationally, broad in connections, not needing to fully heed the Imperial Guards. Not coming today aligns with their usual style—rumor has it they even clashed with Imperial Guards once~~
So not coming is actually normal.
It’s Ye Zixu today... usually he holds Zhiyuan Mansion folks in high regard, his presence today perhaps owes to the Thousand Buddha Hands Sect Master’s reputation dragging him.
"Well, maybe Sui Yi will come today... they’ll surely regret it then."
