Chapter 465: Apology

In an instant, an incredibly immense spiritual pressure descended upon the tribulation stage cultivator.

The next moment, the color of the tribulation stage cultivator’s face turned pale.

Simultaneously, his soul felt as though it had been struck by a powerful hammer, causing unparalleled pain.

His body, which had been floating in the air, began to fall straight down to the ground.

Bang!

A few seconds later, a massive crashing sound echoed.

Puff!

The tribulation stage cultivator coughed up a large mouthful of blood.

“Immortal…”

Great terror appeared on his face.

The divine sense pressure he had just felt could only be exerted by an Immortal.

So, the person he was about to soul search had an Immortal backing them.

He was terrified because he had provoked a junior who had an Immortal as their support.

In an instant, a powerful figure appeared in his mind—Duanmu Yun, the Palace Master of Xiyao Immortal Palace and the only living Immortal in the mortal world.

What was the relationship between Li Zixuan and Duanmu Yun?

At that moment, he finally understood why this Li Zixuan could reach the Great Ascension stage in less than a hundred years.

It turned out she had the support of an Immortal behind her.

…

On the other side,

Li Zixuan stared blankly at the tribulation stage great emperor who had fallen to the ground.

She didn’t understand why he suddenly became like this.

“Elder, are you alright?”

Although the old man before her seemed to have lost the ability to resist, she dared not act recklessly.

She knew that Tianxuan Immortal Tower had not just one tribulation stage cultivator but as many as three.

After hearing Li Zixuan’s words, after a moment, the ancestor of Tianxuan Immortal Tower finally regained his composure.

Once he did, he immediately cupped his hands towards Li Zixuan, “Young lady, I was wrong just now—I should not have soul searched you. I hope you can forgive me for my offense. This is my apology; I hope you’ll accept it…”

Saying this, the ancestor of Tianxuan Immortal Tower quickly took out a storage ring and presented it to Li Zixuan.

At that moment, the ancestor of Tianxuan Immortal Tower appeared extremely respectful and humble.

Previously, Li Zixuan had been willing to allow him to soul search her out of fear that he might harm her descendants.

Now, he was also afraid of the Immortal backing Li Zixuan descending upon him and annihilating Tianxuan Immortal Tower.

Tianxuan Immortal Tower seemed powerful, having three tribulation stage great emperors.

However, for Immortals, it was something they could easily eliminate.

Now, he only hoped that Li Zixuan would accept his apology and, considering he had not caused her any harm, forgive his offense.

…

On the other side, Li Zixuan was bewildered by the series of actions from the ancestor of Tianxuan Immortal Tower.

However, she did not show it on her face.

Although she did not understand what had just happened, she guessed that something about her had intimidated the other party.

This left Li Zixuan in a dilemma.

Should she accept his gift of apology and forgive him, or should she refuse it?

She feared that if she accepted his gift, he might find an excuse to target her and her family.

Just as Li Zixuan was caught in this hesitation, the ancestor of Tianxuan Immortal Tower became anxious.

He quickly flew in front of Li Zixuan and bowed deeply, saying, “Young lady, this is all my savings, and I hope you can forgive me.”

After saying this, he eagerly tried to press the storage ring into Li Zixuan’s hand.

Upon hearing this, Li Zixuan hesitated for a moment before accepting the storage ring.

Seeing Li Zixuan accept the storage ring, the ancestor of Tianxuan Immortal Tower finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Young lady, it truly was my fault. I apologize to you…”

Hearing this, Li Zixuan quickly waved her hand, “Elder, you don’t need to do this. I…I am not blaming you…”

She didn’t know what he was up to, but she still maintained a humble attitude as a junior toward a senior.

“Young lady, you are from Xiyao Immortal Palace, right?” the ancestor of Tianxuan Immortal Tower asked Li Zixuan.

“This…”

At this question, Li Zixuan suddenly reacted; the tribulation stage great emperor must have taken her for someone from Xiyao Immortal Palace.

Xiyao Immortal Palace was the only superpower in the entire cultivation world, so he thought she was from Xiyao Immortal Sect, which was why he was both apologizing and offering reparations?

But was she really from Xiyao Immortal Palace?

It seemed not, right?

But why did he think she was from Xiyao Immortal Sect?

Li Zixuan pondered carefully.

If he believed she was from Xiyao Immortal Palace, then she must have something or a mark that belonged to Xiyao Immortal Palace.

In that case, Li Zixuan remembered that decades ago, a cultivator elder came to Sanhe City and taught her a set of cultivation techniques, which allowed her to advance from the Qi-refining stage to the current Great Ascension stage.

Could it be that the cultivation techniques she practiced were from Xiyao Immortal Palace? Was that why he mistook her for a member of Xiyao Immortal Palace?

Thinking this, a subtle realization appeared on Li Zixuan’s face.

The ancestor of Tianxuan Immortal Tower caught sight of her expression.

At that moment, he was convinced that Li Zixuan was indeed a member of Xiyao Immortal Palace.

Because only Xiyao Immortal Sect had an Immortal.

“Young lady, I also accepted a task from Xiyao Immortal Palace to come to Cuori Planet to complete an immigration mission,” the ancestor of Tianxuan Immortal Tower stated to Li Zixuan.

Upon hearing this, Li Zixuan nodded in response.

She did not say much, as speaking more could lead to mistakes; if it was discovered that she was not from Xiyao Immortal Palace, who knows what would happen.

“Young lady, I still have tasks to attend to, so I must take my leave. I’ll apologize to you again later,” the ancestor of Tianxuan Immortal Tower prepared to depart.

At this moment, it was important to complete the task first.

“Hmm, elder, as you wish,” Li Zixuan nodded at him.

Soon, the ancestor of Tianxuan Immortal Tower left.

After returning to Tianxuan Immortal Tower, he immediately called over the person in charge left behind at the sect, who was the Integration stage junior.

“From now on, no one is to provoke Li Zixuan and her descendants, understood?”

“Ancestor, why is that?”

“Because that Li Zixuan is very likely someone from Xiyao Immortal Palace.”

Upon hearing this, the Integration stage junior quickly nodded.

Xiyao Immortal Palace was known by everyone in the entire cultivation world.

In the past, everyone knew only Dusty Fairy Duanmu Yun, the only Immortal in the mortal world.

But since Dusty Fairy established Xiyao Immortal Palace decades ago and quickly unified the whole cultivation world, Xiyao Immortal Palace had become renowned by all.

On the other side, after returning to her family, Li Zixuan was also very confused.

At that moment, a prompt appeared in her mind.

“Hmm? What is this?”
