The Church of the Pure One.0

Verdant pines and cypresses grew atop a plateau swathed in misty clouds.0

The leaders of the Church of the Pure One, Church of Supreme Oneness, Church of the Exquisite Goddess, Church of Divine Flame, Profound Blue Daoist Sect, and Qianyuan Sword House were in the middle of a discussion.0

“Word of our declaration of war has already spread throughout the Immortal Realm. Daoist Brother Qi Nie, do you think Su Yi will accept our challenge?” asked Sect Leader Xuan Zhong of the Church of Supreme Oneness.0

“How could it possibly be so easy?” Qi Nie smiled and shook his head. “Prior to the Age of Fallen Immortals, everyone knew that Wang Ye feared no threats. As his reincarnation, I’m sure the same is true of Su Yi. That means that even with hostages, there’s no way Su Yi will just obediently show up to battle.”0

He paused, then said, “But that's why I made the announcement public. My goal is to settle things with him once and for all. Even if he refuses our duel, there’s no way he’ll disregard the hostages’ lives!”0

“In other words, he’ll have to take the initiative to negotiate with us!” someone said thoughtfully.0
