279: Madman Zhao triggered the incident!

Hong Tianji's Master is the so-called Supreme Sacred Great Heavenly Master of Man Xian Heaven.

According to Lin Sheng's initial guess.

That person might be one of the members who secretly created this game with Myriad Immortal Empress.

—He couldn't be sure; this was still just his guess.

He saw the other party gently raise a hand, and a string of talismans flew out like agile butterflies, fluttering gracefully. They slowly rotated in the air, intertwining and merging with each other, gradually outlining a white-robed old Daoist.

The old Daoist's face was kind yet majestic.

His eyes were deep, as if they could see through all the mysteries of the world.

In the palm of his right hand rested a half-meter-long whisk, its threads like the old man's white hair, shimmering with Immortal light.

"Disciple..."

"You used the 'Spirit Butterfly Myriad Miles Talisman', so you must have encountered difficulties."

The old Daoist's voice was ethereal and distant, like a gentle whisper in the ear, yet seemingly far away in the sky.

"Master."

Hong Tianji first bowed respectfully, then looked up and got straight to the point: "Master, Saint Descent Hall has been attacked by an organization called 'Celestial God Path'. I beg Master to calculate the origin of this organization."

"Alright."

The old Heavenly Master was quite amenable. He closed his eyes and pinched his fingers, muttering something under his breath.

After a long while.

The body conjured from the talismans suddenly rippled, and even the threads of the whisk hanging down showed signs of dissipating!

"Give me... open!"

The phantom's voice roared like thunder.

From the green smoke rising from the burning talismans, the Heavenly Master's phantom suddenly clutched his chest, and dark black bloodstains seeped from his translucent white Daoist robe.

"Master!"

Hong Tianji shouted anxiously; he had never seen his Master reveal such exhaustion.

Lin Sheng stared at the black blood on his Daoist robe, his brows slightly furrowed.

Black blood again?

"Disciple, leave this place quickly..."

The old Daoist roared, shattering half of the talismans. Before he could finish speaking, the remaining phantom transformed into myriad butterfly shadows and dispersed.

Hong Tianji stood frozen in place.

Leave this... place quickly?

He exchanged glances with the people from the Twelve Singular Sects, then greeted Lin Sheng, and hurried into the teleportation array leading to the Ten Heavens, running away.

He showed no hesitation, leaving without a single trace of reluctance.

This action left the Blue Star players at a loss.

"Why did all the NPCs run away?"

"Good heavens, so that battle just now was just an excuse for these NPCs to escape."

"What do we do then?"

"Who knows... Luckily, Great God Lin Sheng is still here."

Seeing this, Lin Moxuan stepped forward and said, "Lord, since even the Great Heavenly Master couldn't calculate their origin, may I be allowed to take this person to the Wan Xian Hall and let Empress decide?"

Lin Sheng was slightly taken aback, suddenly remembering that Lin Moxuan didn't know about the Empress's secluded cultivation.

So he pretended not to know and nodded: "Go."

Lin Moxuan nodded and quickly left with the unconscious masked leader.

Looking at the players filling the hall.

Lin Sheng pondered for a moment, then also turned and went offline.

...

East Heaven Domain, Ten Thousand Beasts Holy Land.

Although he had only left recently, Lin Sheng felt that significant changes had occurred here.

He took a deep breath, and his divine sense actively spread out.

Seven-colored Immortal mist crisscrossed the heavens and earth, endless Immortals moved among it, a thousand-zhang waterfall hung like a silver river upside down, and a hundred-li medicinal field surged with green waves.

Ten-thousand-year spirit plants broke through the soil and grew wildly, flocks of extreme flame phoenixes streaked across the sky...

"It really feels like two different worlds compared to over there..."

He hadn't felt that much Immortal energy over there.

Shaking his head.

His divine sense Through the Heaven and Earth (penetrated the heavens and earth), summoning all nine Heavenly Mandated Protagonists.

"Big Brother Lin!"

"Great God!"

Chu Tianze, Ye Liufeng, and the other nine Heavenly Mandated Protagonists gathered together again. They first looked at each other curiously, then surrounded Lin Sheng with expectant gazes.

Was this great god going to take them to that world?

"I believe some of you have already guessed."

Lin Sheng smiled, not hiding anything: "That's right, I'm going to take you to that other world now!"

"Can we really come back anytime?" Li Changsheng asked again uncertainly.

"Of course!"

Hong Tianji left with the people from the Twelve Singular Sects.

With Saint Descent Hall missing so many functional NPCs, he could rightfully replace them, and the players wouldn't find it strange.

Although their "professional skills" were not as good as those of the Twelve Singular Sects.

They were already sufficient to deal with players who had just embarked on the path of cultivation.

Lin Sheng was very efficient.

In a little while.

He brought the nine Heavenly Mandated Protagonists to Saint Descent Hall.

—He didn't use the system's "grant identity" method. He figured if he were to use that method, it wouldn't be too late to use it the next time he came in.

He wanted to see if there would be any impact after these original main characters entered.

And in reality—

Nothing happened.

For the Blue Star players, it was just Great God Lin Sheng bringing in nine plot NPCs.

Normal communication was possible, but these people had no functions.

Weren't they just for triggering plot?

Lin Sheng sat on the main seat in Saint Descent Hall, feeling a bit troubled for a moment.

'I didn't expect these original main characters to come here and not trigger anything.'

However, Chu Tianze and the others were indeed worthy of being original main characters.

Each of them had considerable charisma and quickly blended in with the players.

"Oh, you are Celestial Descendants."

"Zhou Sheng? Good heavens, a Heavenly Mandated Protagonist like this is really no good!"

"You want me to help you kill monster groups? Sure!"

"..."

【Ding!】

【Heavenly Mandated Protagonist "Zhao the Madman" triggered an event!】

Lin Sheng ignored the original main characters and the players.

The event was most important.

【Event Name: Heavenly Dao Academy Five Courtyards Grand Competition, Zhao the Madman Victorious】

【Location: Ninth Heaven·Heavenly Dao Academy】

【Event Summary: Heavenly Dao Academy held the Five Courtyards Grand Competition, but the chief disciple of the Knife Institute, Zhao the Madman, overslept due to drinking last night and arrived late.】

【Upon his arrival, he saw that the Knife Institute was being ridiculed by the other four courtyards.】

【Saying that the Knife Institute could only be the tail-ender every year.】

【Zhao the Madman angrily stepped onto the stage to fight, challenging the chief disciples of each courtyard directly with his status as chief disciple. Soon, the chief disciple of the Spear Courtyard, Wang Chong, and the chief disciple of the Staff Courtyard, Sun Chong, were successively defeated by him.】

【But when challenging the chief disciple of the Fan Courtyard, Su Die, he was suppressed by her.】

【At the critical moment, Zhao the Madman saw the Knife Institute students below who were worried, as well as the people from other courtyards who were still mocking him. Zhao the Madman roared, breaking through his realm and turning defeat into victory, defeating Su Die. As she was about to fall to the ground, he elegantly caught her in his arms, causing her to blush slightly.】

【Next, when challenging the chief disciple of the Sword Courtyard, Liu Jian, he was easily suppressed by the opponent, almost unable to fight back.】

【But just when he was about to lose.】

【Students from other courtyards started mocking him again.】

【Zhao the Madman became angry again, breaking through three realms consecutively, his strength surged, and he began to suppress Liu Jian in the fight.】

【Liu Jian was very disbelieving of this, so in order to win, he lied, claiming that Zhao the Madman possessed a portion of Heavens Mandate Luck.】
