Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect was clearly worried that Lin Xuankong might feel it was Sect Leader Li's own actions that had attracted the numerous Earth Immortals. Consequently, feeling rather guilty and not wanting Lin Xuankong to bear the burden alone because of this, Sect Leader Li spoke at length, obviously intending to persuade Lin Xuankong to leave together with Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er!

After he finished speaking, Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect looked at Lin Xuankong with a touch of expectation in his eyes, just waiting for him to agree.

Lin Xuankong was somewhat surprised to hear Sect Leader Li speak this way. He pondered for a few breaths with a grave expression, then looked seriously at Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect and said with a smile, "I don't believe it!"

Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect was stunned into speechlessness.

Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er's pretty face also changed. She was clearly troubled by Lin Xuankong's sudden "I don't believe it."

Medicine Immortal Qu Wan'Er's expression shifted, however. She looked at Lin Xuankong with a hint of admiration in her eyes. While activating the Initial Tier Immortal Artifact Lin Xuankong had given her to attack the Five Elements Wanderer, she said, "Tributor Mu is indeed a man of courage, and quite interesting. I haven't seen anyone from our Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect contradict the Sect Leader like this for thousands of years! Hehe!"

Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect fell silent for a moment, then said anxiously, "Tributor Mu, it's fine if you don't believe me, but with your tenth-level Initial Tier strength, staying here won't make much of a difference!"

At this moment, Lin Xuankong took out his Initial Tier Immortal Sword. He gently stroked the blade with his finger, his gaze firm as he looked at Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect.

"Are the tens of thousands of Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect disciples behind me much stronger than I am? I have an Initial Tier Immortal Artifact to protect myself, so my chances of survival are surely greater than theirs! Since that's the case, and these tens of thousands of fellow sect disciples have all remained here fearlessly, how could I, Mu Shiba, possibly flee alone!"

Saying this, he looked up at the Sixth-Grade Earth Immortal Five Elements Wanderer and the hundreds of Earth Immortals in the sky, a trace of battle intent flickering in his eyes.

"These so-called Earth Immortals, their shameless acts and words, are truly eye-opening. I, Mu Shiba, have never in my life seen such brazen cultivators!

"If I don't stand with everyone and kill a few of these scum of the Immortal Realm, how can I, Mu Shiba, swallow this indignation!

"Moreover, since this damn Five Elements Wanderer and these hundreds of Earth Immortals claim they want to capture me, Mu Shiba, alive, then I am clearly in no mortal danger. Staying here, my chances of survival are far, far greater than yours!"

Hearing Lin Xuankong's words, Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect was rendered speechless.

This Sect Leader of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect naturally knew very well that the claims made by the Sixth-Grade Earth Immortal Five Elements Wanderer and the hundreds of other Earth Immortals—that they were there to eradicate the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect as an Evil Dao sect—were utter nonsense and completely untrustworthy. Their most important goal this time was Tributor Mu. He was the Super Refining Master capable of creating Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts, a talent unprecedented in the entire Central Divine Dynasty Western Region!

Since Tributor Mu was their target, how could they possibly kill Mu Shiba? Far from killing him, once the Sect Protection Array of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect was breached, the Five Elements Wanderer and the hundreds of Earth Immortals would prioritize protecting and capturing Tributor Mu!

This Tributor Mu, just as he himself had said, was indeed in no mortal danger whatsoever!

「At this moment」

Young Lady Li Xiaolan, standing beside Lin Xuankong, couldn't help but glance at him.

She and Lin Xuankong had weathered many storms together to reach this point. Seeing him join the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect and become its foremost Tributor, with a status nearly equal to that of the Sect Leader, naturally filled her with immense pride and joy!

Yet, before she even had a chance to celebrate, such a crisis had arisen: hundreds of Earth Immortals were now aiming for her husband!

These people, whether that Five Elements Wanderer, or Grand Elder Duan Qianchou of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect, or those hundreds of Earth Immortals—all of them deserve to die, they all deserve to die! Unfortunately, my current cultivation is only at the tenth level of the Initial Tier. Even with several Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts in hand, defeating even one Initial Tier Earth Immortal would be very difficult, let alone facing hundreds of Earth Immortals, or a Sixth-Grade Earth Immortal!

Thinking of this, her brows furrowed, her eyes filled with worry.

She was naturally also worried that Lin Xuankong might fall into the hands of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect, the Five Elements Immortal Sect, and the others in the Seventy-Six Immortal Sects Alliance. Although she knew these people certainly wouldn't pose any fatal threat to Lin Xuankong, if he were captured, he would likely lose his freedom for the rest of his life!

While Young Lady Li Xiaolan was hesitating, Lin Xuankong smiled at her. "Just relax," he said. "You don't need to worry about me."

Seeing this, Young Lady Li Xiaolan shook her head helplessly. Clearly, Lin Xuankong's words offered little comfort!

Lin Xuankong saw her reaction and smiled again. "I've already asked for a helper in advance!"

Saying this, he looked at the damaged Array Hubs of the three Spirit Peaks within the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, then frowned. "Unfortunately, though that helper agreed to come, they haven't arrived in time to stop the Seventy-Six Immortal Sects Alliance from damaging the Sect Protection Array of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect!"

Upon hearing Lin Xuankong say this, Young Lady Li Xiaolan's furrowed brows, which had been tightly knit, couldn't help but relax slightly, her eyes now filled with a great deal of curiosity.
