"That's right."
Ji Haoyuan nodded.
The cold light in his eyes grew increasingly intense.
"I would like to see if they truly have the nerve to launch an attack against us."
Inside the Four Symbols Pass.
True Monarch Cangsong from the True Words Sect and True Monarch Yiyang from the Joyful Union Sect looked up at the Celestial Spirit Magic Ship showing no signs of action, already breaking out in a slight sweat on their foreheads.
Earlier, they received instructions from Liu Daoxuan and the Black Robe Demon Monarch to try and block the people from the Demonstration Sect from entering the pass.
At the very least, they should not let them enter so easily.
Currently, they indeed were doing as Liu Daoxuan and the Black Robe Demon Monarch instructed.
But to their utmost surprise, the people from the Demonstration Sect did nothing in response to the threat of the Four Symbols Pass Array.
This immediately placed them in a difficult position.
Could it be that they really needed to activate the Four Symbols Pass Array to attack the Demonstration Sect's warship?
Don't be ridiculous.
If they truly did this, it wouldn't be long before the Venerable Yanfa would personally arrive.
Faced with such an existence, not even the people behind them would be able to handle it.
But if they continued to remain at an impasse, making no move, their motives for what they were doing now would also arouse suspicion.
It would further expose their bluffing nature.
"Um..."
Finally.
Neither True Monarch Cangsong nor True Monarch Yiyang dared to take the risk; instead, they tried speaking to the Celestial Spirit Magic Ship above them.
"May I ask which Daoist from which sect has arrived? This is the important human border, the Four Symbols Pass. No unrelated person is allowed to approach. Please identify yourself swiftly."
As soon as they finished speaking, many inside the Four Symbols Pass showed subtle expressions.
It wasn't as if there were people unfamiliar with the two individuals' characters present.
Upon hearing the words of True Monarch Cangsong and True Monarch Yiyang, they knew these two were in an awkward position, unable to advance or retreat.
Yet, from the Celestial Spirit Magic Ship, there was still no sound.
On the contrary, with the passage of time, a terrifying Spiritual Pressure, far surpassing the initial and mid-fourth stage, was slowly emanating from the Celestial Spirit Magic Ship.
Simultaneously, numerous profound lights started to shine all over the Celestial Spirit Magic Ship.
In that instant, a powerful and terrifying Qi Mechanism locked firmly onto True Monarch Cangsong and True Monarch Yiyang.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Just then, two figures suddenly swept over from a distance.
Judging by their Spiritual Pressure, they were also two Nascent Soul cultivators.
"It's Elder Blue Sea Dragon and Golden Light Sword Monarch of the Five Elements Profound Sect!"
A sharp-eyed person immediately recognized their identities.
This instantly changed the expressions of True Monarch Cangsong and True Monarch Yiyang.
However, before they could react, Blue Sea Dragon and Golden Light Sword Monarch were already before them.
Blue Sea Dragon spoke with a cold expression, "Cangsong, Yiyang, what on earth are you doing?
Are you truly blind? Can't you see the sect emblem inscribed there?
Hurry and dismantle the array and join us in welcoming the people from the Upper Sect?"
These words instantly made the two's faces extremely unsightly.
If at this moment, they still didn't realize they had been played, their reaction would indeed be far too slow.
The other party clearly wanted them to step forward to welcome the people from the Demonstration Sect.
Thinking about how they wanted to give the Demonstration Sect a display of power before...
This wasn't them intimidating the Demonstration Sect; instead, the Demonstration Sect gave them a severe display of intimidation, making their faces feel hot with shame.
On the Celestial Spirit Magic Ship.
Seeing Blue Sea Dragon and Golden Light Sword Monarch arriving, Ji Haoyuan finally showed a slight smile.
He turned to Master Binghuo beside him, along with True Monarch Xuanyuan and True Monarch Baihua, and said:
"Senior Sister, Senior Brother Xuanyuan, Senior Sister Baihua, let's go. It's about time we make our appearance."
With those words, the entire Celestial Spirit Magic Ship began to descend slowly.
This made everyone present at the scene feel a slight chill in their hearts.
The Demonstration Sect indeed had calculated deeply.
Their opponents had probably anticipated all of this from the very beginning.
Facing the intentional difficulties created by True Monarch Cangsong and True Monarch Yiyang, they intentionally remained silent.
Until they couldn't back down, and then the two from the Five Elements Profound Sect stepped in.
At this point, even if Cangsong and Yiyang were unwilling in their hearts, they had no choice but to present a welcoming stance to the members of the Demonstration Sect due to the general circumstances.
And all of this, even True Monarch Xuanyuan, True Monarch Baihua, and others didn't know the inside story.
It's not until this moment that everyone truly understood Ji Haoyuan's tactics.
All eyes on the Celestial Spirit Magic Ship were now filled with deepening reverence.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
As the doors of the Celestial Spirit Magic Ship gradually opened.
Ji Haoyuan and others stepped out one by one from the Celestial Spirit Magic Ship.
Blue Sea Dragon and Golden Light Sword Monarch, who had long been awaiting with their people, immediately stepped forward with smiles, cupping their hands in greeting:
"Senior Brother Nanhua, Senior Brother Xuanyuan, and Senior Sister Binghuo and Senior Sister Baihua.
It has been a long time; each of you seems even more impressive than before.
On behalf of the Five Elements Profound Sect, I welcome the arrival of our senior brothers and sisters!"
"We welcome Elder Nanhua, Elder Xuanyuan, Elder Binghuo, and Elder Baihua to our Four Symbols Pass!"
Immediately, the cultivators of the Five Elements Profound Sect behind them bowed in unison.
Other cultivators of the Four Symbols Pass present, no matter which sect or family they came from, also bowed to Ji Haoyuan's group.
"We welcome all the elders from the Demonstration Sect to our Four Symbols Pass!"
This scene only served to make the expressions of True Monarch Cangsong and True Monarch Yiyang darker.
It seemed as though, from beginning to end, they were the real fools.
Helplessly, the two could only force a smile and cup their hands toward Ji Haoyuan and company:
"Fellow Daoists of the Demonstration Sect, what happened just now was purely a misunderstanding. We hope you won't take it to heart."
Facing the apology, Ji Haoyuan did not let it go easily.
Instead, he turned to the two and said unceremoniously:
"A misunderstanding? Was it really just a misunderstanding?
Could it be, just as Senior Brother Lan said, both of your eyes are truly blind?
If so, I think there's no use keeping them; you might as well gouge them out."
In an instant, True Monarch Cangsong and True Monarch Yiyang felt a rush of anger straight to their heads.
Especially when they sensed the unusual gazes of those around them.
Their surrounding Spiritual Pressures became a bit unstable, ready to explode at any moment.
