Chapter 1236 - Dao Child
Chapter 1236: Dao Child
The first to arrive at Dragon Tiger Sect were the cultivators of the Dark Ghost Sect.
The moment they arrived, everyone from Dark Ghost Sect caught sight of a boy standing at the entrance of Dragon Tiger Sect. With a stern expression, he blocked their path forward.
“You’re not allowed to barge in here. Please make a detour.”
Tao Yao declared.
“How did this child appear out of nowhere in this forest?”
Many cultivators of Dark Ghost Sect had never seen Tao Yao before.
“Look carefully, this is not a child, but a spirit that has turned into a fiend demon!”
The person who spoke was Dao Lord Black Leather who had headed to Ping Yang Town previously. He whispered to the Sect Master of Dark Ghost Sect, “Sect master, this boy protected Dao Lord Desolate Martial outside Ping Yang Town and did a great deed.”
The Sect Master of Dark Ghost Sect nodded and smiled at Tao Yao. “I’m the Sect Master of Dark Ghost Sect and I’m here to visit Dao Lord Desolate Martial. Could I trouble you to inform him?”
“Not now. He’s still resting.”
Tao Yao shook his head and rejected without thinking.
The expression of the Sect Master of Dark Ghost Sect darkened.
No matter what, as a sect master with a noble status, it did not make sense for him to be rejected by a boy at the entrance when he was here to visit personally!
However, he was extremely scheming and did not flare up.
The Sect Master of Dark Ghost Sect laughed still and asked, “May I know how long your young master will be resting?”
“I don’t know.”
Tao Yao shook his head.
The Sect Master of Dark Ghost Sect frowned.
A Dharma Characteristic Dao Lord at the side could not stand it and stood out, harrumphing coldly. “Kid, Dark Ghost Sect is an upper sect of the North Region. Who do you think you are? How dare you make the decision on your own! If we ask you to report it, head over quickly! Don’t waste time!”
“So what if you’re an upper sect?”
Tao Yao pouted. “Dragon Tiger Sect was an upper sect as well but they were still destroyed by our young master!”
“You… ”
The Dharma Characteristic Dao Lord was speechless for a moment and was enraged. He said coldly, “What a glib tongue you have. I’ll punish you on behalf of your young master today!”
“You want to fight?”
Tao Yao was instantly on guard as he glared at everyone from Dark Ghost Sect.
“Back down!”
Right then, the Sect Master of Dark Ghost Sect hollered with a dark expression.
“Sect master, he’s just a child…”
“Scram! Don’t come out and embarrass yourself!”
The Dharma Characteristic Dao Lord wanted to argue but was lambasted by the Sect Master of Dark Ghost Sect. With an embarrassed expression, he retreated.
The Sect Master of Dark Ghost Sect took a deep breath and turned around. The gloominess on his face dissipated significantly as he revealed a smile. “It’s fine. Since Dao Lord Desolate Martial is resting, we’ll wait outside here.”
“Once your young master is awake, can I trouble you to inform him?”
The Dark Ghost Sect cultivators were stunned.
Their sect master had a dark temperament and had never smiled before, let alone speak with such a gentle tone.
“Of course.”
Tao Yao nodded and did not reject the request.
The Sect Master of Dark Ghost Sect chuckled dryly and waved his hand, retreating with the group of cultivators to rest outside Dragon Tiger Sect.
“Sect master, if Desolate Martial were to rest for half a month, would we have to wait here for so long as well?”
“Isn’t Desolate Martial way too cocky?!”
“Sect master, we can give Desolate Martial some face, but there’s no need for us to show weakness to a mere child!”
Many cultivators of Dark Ghost Sect were indignant.
The Sect Master of Dark Ghost Sect shook his head gently. “I heard that this child is extremely close to Desolate Martial and must not be provoked! Once the Dao is obtained, even fowls and dogs can ascend to the heavens, let alone the Dao child of Desolate Martial.”
Before long, cultivators of Blood Mist Sect arrived at the entrance of Dragon Tiger Sect but were similarly rejected by Tao Yao.
Similar to the Sect Master of Dark Ghost Sect, the Sect Master of Blood Mist Sect did not barge in and retreated after chatting for a while.
Dragon Tiger Sect was destroyed the moment they barged into Ping Yang Town.
None of them dared to attempt the same!
Before long, cultivators of Seven Kills Sect and Yuwen Clan arrived at Dragon Tiger Sect as well.
Similar to Dark Ghost Sect and Blood Mist Sect, the sect masters of Seven Kills Sect and Yuwen Clan were not angered after Tao Yao rejected them. Instead, they chose to wait outside the sect.
Before noon, half of the ten upper sects of the North Region had arrived!
Three of the four gentry clans had arrived as well.
The masters of both aristocratic families had arrived!
These upper sect masters and aristocratic family masters were existences that would cause a stir in the North Region with a single stomp of their feet. Yet, they were waiting obediently outside the Dragon Tiger Sect right now!
Although the upper sect masters and aristocratic family masters were given the cold shoulder and exchanged glances, all of them had a tacit understanding and none of them mocked the other.
Almost all of them had offended Su Zimo in the past.
Now that Su Zimo had entered the Dharma Characteristic realm and destroyed Dragon Tiger Sect, the situation was set in stone. In order to resolve their past grudges, they could only pay a personal visit!
Noon had just passed.
Stellar Luna Sect, Murong aristocratic family and other sects and factions had arrived as well.
All the upper sects and aristocratic families of the cultivation world of the North Region were gathered outside Dragon Tiger Sect!
“Even in the ancient era, there shouldn’t be any Dharma Characteristic Dao Lord that had the entire world paying respects the moment they entered the Dharma Characteristic realm, right?”
The Sect Master of Stellar Luna Sect lamented.
“That’s right.”
An elder at the side said, “However, this is quite a bit of pressure for Desolate Martial as well! After all, he’s facing almost the entire cultivation world of the North Region!”
“That’s right. No matter how strong Dao Lord Desolate Martial is and how he can flatten Dragon Tiger Sect, there’s no way he can go against all the nine upper sects, four gentry clans and two aristocratic families!”
“This gathering of warriors from all over is a test for Dao Lord Desolate Martial as well. Let’s see how he reacts.”
Many elders of Stellar Luna Sect discussed softly.
Right then, a calm voice sounded from Dragon Tiger Sect. When it entered the ears of the cultivators outside the sect, it was neither loud nor soft but extremely clear!
“Everyone, it’s been a long wait. Come on in.”
The initial clamor outside the sect quietened down!
Tao Yao was invigorated and declared, “Young master is awake. Follow me.”
The group of them heaved a sigh of relief.
Under Tao Yao’s lead, the group of cultivators entered Dragon Tiger Sect and headed straight for the palace on Dragon Tiger Peak.
The palace of Dragon Tiger Sect was extremely huge and could accommodate tens of thousands of people with ease!
The moment the cultivators entered, they looked up instinctively and shuddered with shock in their eyes!
At that moment, a green-robed cultivator sat in the main hall. His black hair fell to his shoulders and his eyes were deep, emanating a powerful aura as though he was one with the world.
Tao Yao had already returned to his spot and was standing side by side with Nian Qi behind the green-robed cultivator.
Both of them looked young and were like a pair of Dao children, standing guard beside the green-robed cultivator.
The cultivators were stunned when they saw that.
Legend has it that behind some immortals in the immortal world, there were male and female Dao children that cultivated the Dao, known as the golden couple.
This scene was extremely similar to the legends of the immortal world!
What sort of characters were the leaders of the nine upper sects, four gentry clans and two aristocratic families?
Once gathered, they would naturally form a powerful aura!
But now that they entered the hall, they were suppressed by the aura of the green-robed cultivator and lowered their heads instinctively, not daring to meet his gaze!
