207: Regretful Su Qingxue.

Dead silence.

A dead silence.

Complete and utter dead silence.

True One Holy Master's words, "The world where the Dark Angel resides will soon invade my Tianwu World," left everyone bewildered.

Otherworld invasion?

Is he telling a story?

After a brief silence, the crowd erupted into chaos.

"What a joke! There's no such thing as another world!"

"Exactly! I think this is just a lie concocted by the so-called 'Tai Xuan Immortal Sect' to gain fame and power!"

"Holy Master! This matter is of great importance; you cannot just believe one side of the story!"

Questions and disbelief rose one after another.

Just as the chaos ensued, a young man in brocade clothes, looking somewhat clever, suddenly stepped forward and shouted loudly to the True One Holy Master on the high platform:

"Holy Master! Since this matter was spoken by the Sect Master of the Tai Xuan Immortal Sect, why not invite him here to confront us Face-to-Face?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire square instantly fell silent again.

Everyone's gaze uniformly focused on the young man in brocade clothes.

Their eyes were no different from looking at an idiot with a dysfunctional brain.

Even the True One Holy Master on the high platform twitched his mouth involuntarily, looking at the young man with pity.

Invite?

You speak so easily.

That is an existence suspected to be a Martial God.

Do you think he is like your second uncle next door coming over for a visit and a meal?

And confront him Face-to-Face?

One slap from him could probably turn the entire True One Holy Land into dust!

The young man in brocade clothes felt extremely uncomfortable under everyone's gaze and belatedly realized that he seemed to have said something foolish.

His old Face flushed, and he sheepishly retreated into the crowd, not daring to utter another word.

Just as the atmosphere became extremely awkward.

A lazy voice, as if just woken up, leisurely drifted from a corner of the square.

"Who said this Senior didn't come?"

The voice clearly entered everyone's ears.

Everyone was startled and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

In a corner of the square, by an inconspicuous wine table, a figure had appeared at some unknown time.

The person wore a green robe, had an ordinary Face, and a calm demeanor. He sat casually, holding a wine cup, as if he had been sitting there all along.

Yet, among the thousands of experts present, not a single person could detect his presence!

"You... when did you sit beside me?"

The Sect Master closest to him looked at the young man who had suddenly appeared, his voice filled with confusion and surprise.

The man in the green robe did not answer. He merely drained the wine in his cup and then slowly rose.

He took one step.

His figure had already appeared on the high platform, beside the True One Holy Master.

Shrinking the ground into an inch!

This god-like technique once again stunned everyone present.

"Lu... Senior Lu!"

The moment the True One Holy Master saw that Face, he jolted, instantly regained his composure, and dared not be negligent. He respectfully cupped his hands and greeted the man in the green robe, adopting the humblest posture.

"Junior greets Senior Lu!"

With his bow, the Elders of the True One Holy Land behind him dared not remain standing, and a chorus of respectful greetings echoed.

"We greet Senior!"

Everyone below the stage was dumbfounded.

The Tai Xuan Immortal Sect Sect Master!

He... he actually came?!

After a brief shock, the crowd below reacted and, with a collective rustle, all bowed.

"We greet the Tai Xuan Sect Master!"

The sound, like a mountain roar and a sea tide, reverberated through the sky.

Only a few people remained standing, dazed.

To the left of the banquet square, in an inconspicuous corner.

A beautiful woman in a light green dress, with an elegant figure and a cool demeanor, was tightly covering her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She was Su Qingxue, the Heaven's Genius from the Lichen Sword Sect who had previously interacted (not very pleasantly) with Chen Ping'an and Li Huowang.

She never dreamed that Lu Yuchen, the Star Sword Peak Peak Master, who had been lazily lying in a grand armchair during the Lichen Sword Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony, looking harmless yet seemingly able to control everything...

Would actually be the legendary Tai Xuan Immortal Sect Sect Master, who could annihilate a top Sect with a flick of a finger and make even Holy Lands wary?!

This... how is this possible?

Beside her, a middle-aged man also dressed in yellow, but with only one arm, had a ashen Face and pale lips.

He was the Su Family Martial Saint who had his arm casually severed by Lu Yuchen at the Lichen Sword Sect.

Looking at the familiar yet strange figure on the high platform, he felt a chill shoot from the soles of his feet straight to his head. The heart that had regained some arrogance and wanted to reclaim its Face instantly turned completely cold.

He let out a bitter laugh, turned to look at the distraught Su Qingxue beside him, wanting to say something but unable to, only thinking to himself.

"Alas, Qingxue..."

"You, it seems... missed a heaven-sent Opportunity."

Then he spoke, "Qingxue, you are the strongest Genius in our Su Family history, and you will become a Martial God sooner or later. Don't overthink it."

Su Qingxue's delicate body trembled violently.

"Can I... really?"

She remembered that Senior had once asked her if she was willing to join his Star Sword Peak.

But she had refused.

For the Family's Legacy, for the ethereal Dao of a Martial God, she had personally pushed away a teacher who could have allowed her to ascend to the heavens in one step, a Martial God teacher.

Regret!

Endless regret, like a cold venomous snake, frantically gnawed at her heart.

If only back then... if only she had agreed back then...

She would have been taught by a Martial God expert, and had a Martial God expert protect her Dao.

But, in this world, there is no 'if'.

She regretted it.
