Flaming Blade Duan River frowned as he stood up.

"All of you get up! Since Galin Bodhisattva didn't say anything, it means she no longer cares about Yang Ding's actions from before. As a Bodhisattva of the Spirit Platform Buddhism, her heart is naturally compassionate and not so petty!"

After speaking, he glanced gloomily at Lin Xuankong, then looked at the cultivators who were watching them with strange expressions. He flung his sleeve and rode a red cloud towards the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's martial arts arena.

While flying, Second Prince Chang Li looked back in Lin Xuankong's direction and transmitted his voice to Duan River, "Martial Uncle, this Mu Shiba seems to have quite a connection with Galin Bodhisattva. Regarding our plan to deal with Lii Xiaolan and him—what should we do now?"

Flaming Blade Duan River's facial muscles twitched involuntarily as he recalled being forced to kneel before countless cultivators today. He, who had roamed unhindered for hundreds, even thousands, of years relying on his Fire Spirit Divine Skill—when had he ever suffered such humiliation? When had he ever slammed into such an iron-hard obstacle? To seek revenge from Galin Bodhisattva for this grievance was utterly impossible. However, this Mu Shiba was merely a Tier Nine Cultivator...

Flaming Blade Duan River narrowed his eyes and transmitted his voice, "Since he has some connection with Galin Bodhisattva, we definitely can't deal with him openly! But how can today's humiliation not be avenged? We, cultivators of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect, have cultivated for hundreds, even thousands, of years—was it all to suffer such indignity? If we can't deal with Galin Bodhisattva, then we'll make an example of this Mu Shiba! However, all subsequent actions and plans must be executed in secret and must not be exposed under any circumstances!"

Second Prince Chang Li heard this, and his eyes showed a trace of humiliation and hatred. As the Second Prince of the Xianluo Dynasty and its foremost prodigy, he had never experienced such humiliation as he had today. Naturally, his heart was filled with intense hatred.

"Disciple will adhere to Martial Uncle's teachings! But, if I meet Mu Shiba in the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's disciple selection competition, what should I do? If I go all out against him in front of countless cultivators, I'm afraid that Galin Bodhisattva will be displeased!"

Flaming Blade Duan River frowned and said, "How could it be so coincidental that you are assigned to face him as an opponent! Maybe in the first few rounds, Mu Shiba will be directly defeated by other Immortal Sect disciples! Should you encounter him, go all out! The Spirit Platform Buddhism always claims to be righteous and impartial. They can't possibly trip you up just because you gave your all in the competition! Moreover, if you do encounter him as an opponent, it's a great chance to defeat him easily in front of countless cultivators and wash away the shame our Fire Spirit Immortal Sect just endured!"

Upon hearing the words "Spirit Platform Buddhism," Second Prince Chang Li's eyes revealed a hint of apprehension. After a moment of silence, he nodded firmly. "Martial Uncle, rest assured. With the trump cards you prepared for me, even if I encounter an Initial Tier Earth Immortal, I can fight evenly. Dealing with a Tier Nine Cultivator will be no problem at all, and I will surely wash away the recent humiliation!"

「At the gates of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's martial arts arena.」

After a flurry of exclamations and discussions, the numerous cultivators began making their way into the arena grounds. Lin Xuankong, Li Xiaohu, and the others naturally followed the crowd into the grounds.

However, there was a clear difference in how people were treated.

When other cultivators reached the gates of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's martial arts arena, the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect disciples on duty thoroughly checked if they had prepared their entrance tickets. After all, even for the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, this disciple selection competition was a rare and grand event, a great chance to earn a large amount of Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade, so they naturally had to check carefully.

However, when Lin Xuankong and his group reached the arena gates and Li Xiaohu was about to take out the tickets, the expressions of those Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect disciples became solemn.

The leading disciple even bowed deeply and cupped his hands towards Lin Xuankong, saying, "Mr. Mu, since you are an old acquaintance of Galin Bodhisattva, you are an honored guest of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. How can an honored guest's tickets be inspected?"

He said to a disciple behind him, "Little Ba, lead the way. Bring Mr. Mu and these honored guests into the arena. Arrange the best viewing seats for them, prepare the finest Spirit Tea and Spirit Fruits, and you absolutely must not neglect them in any way!"

The disciple named Little Ba immediately nodded. After bowing and cupping his hands to Lin Xuankong and his group, he led them into the Immortal Sect's martial arts arena.

Seeing this, the countless cultivators lining up obediently couldn't help but show envious expressions.

The Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, as the host, treated this Mr. Mu with such respect. The difference in treatment compared to their own was immense.

Of course, when they recalled that this Mr. Mu actually had a significant connection with Galin Bodhisattva of Spirit Platform Buddhism, the crowd grew even more envious. After all, being a friend of Galin Bodhisattva—this status alone was far more significant than simply not needing an entry ticket or getting a good seat!

Indeed, with the status of being Galin Bodhisattva's friend, should Mr. Mu desire it, he would likely be treated with the utmost deference by any Immortal Sect in the Central Divine Dynasty, without the slightest hint of neglect!

Once inside the arena, Lin Xuankong and his group were indeed arranged on a high platform with the best view. The disciple named Little Ba also arranged for over ten beautiful female cultivators to serve them Immortal Tea, Immortal Wine, and Immortal Fruits. Furthermore, he left eight of the most beautiful Ninth-Layer Female Immortal Servants to attend to them, ready to follow their instructions at any time.
