Re:Immortal

Chapter 11

All across the earthly realm, a very strange almost unbelievable news was being passed along. The gate of heaven, which is not due to open for another four months did! It should be known that ever since people could remember no such thing has ever happened. Yet this was not the end of the news, along with the abrupt opening of the gate, a group of people entered the earthly realm, one of those people was the Bai clan's first elder Bai Yu and along with him a mysterious figure that he called senior, that same unknown figure forced all the sect and clan representatives to their knees! No one knew who it was, but for Bai Yu to call him senior left most people wondering on his Identity.

Meanwhile, deep inside the Void sect ancestral grounds an emergency meeting was being held. The Void sect, being one of the earthly realm's three holy lands held very special status, it was no considered the strongest nor was it the weakest but it was the oldest one out of the other holy lands. With their roots spread deep in the earthly realm, their disciples enjoyed a very high and respectable status with other cultivators, they were most famed for their magical skills.

Most people suspect that the Void sect is the only sect to hold the largest number of Immortal skills, for it had existed for thousands of years, what people didn't know however was that once upon a time before the heaven's collapsed, the Void sect was once considered a branch of an Immortal sect! That sect's name was a secret only known to each generation's patriarch and is one of their most guarded secrets! This was the reason behind the vast number of immortal skills that they held.

Inside the ancestral palace, sat the patriarch of the Void sect on a giant purple throne. Under the throne were the Void sect's high-ranking elders seated on praying mats, their conversations hushed as they kept glancing at the figure on the throne. He had his eyes closed as if sleeping, his face was that of a young man in his mid-twenties but all those present knew better then to be fooled by his appearance. The Void sect's patriarch was an old monster.

"Patriarch, Elder Lu Tao has escaped." Interrupted a middle-aged man with a hunched back, this man was the sect's Patriarch's most trusted aid, Daoist Lin, no one knows of his origin's but his power is unquestionable.

The patriarch's eyes that were closed all this time suddenly shot open, and with it came a suffocating aura that seemed to press on the backs of all those present. Cold sweat trickled down their back as no one dared make a sound, the patriarch was furious. Seemingly uncaring of the pressure surrounding them, Daoist Lin continued unhurriedly as if he was unconcerned by it.

"The Bai Clan has taken care of the third elder."

Hearing the news the patriarch took a deep breath to calm himself, before retracting his aura making everyone let out a sigh of relief before speaking "It seems you were right about Lu Tao fellow Daoist Lin." a tinge of sadness could be heard in his voice along with unrestrained wrath.

Daoist Lin, sighed regretfully while shaking his head before speaking "I had my doubts, yet I never would have imagined the Bai clan to suddenly make their move."

"With the recent news of the mysterious figure that entered the earthly realm along with Bai Yu, its safe to assume that they didn't want the news to spread..." Commented an elder.

"I heard that the Bai clan's elder called that person Senior." Added another elder while stroking his beard.

The conversation broke amongst the elders as the Patriarch remained silent, his gaze resting on Daoist Lin who was strangely quiet as well.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, what's on your mind?" Asked the patriarch, a strange light flickering in his eyes.

Hearing the Patriarch's question, Daoist Lin let out a sigh before he turned his gaze towards the patriarch. Seeing his solemn look, the Patriarch sat straighter in his seat his face turning serious as he waited for him to speak.

"I heard a piece of particular news, my patriarch," he spoke calmly, yet when all those present heard what he said everyone's eyes hardened as they waited for him to continue speaking. It was known that when Daoist Lin, said he heard a piece of particular news, that news was always true and the matters it was usually involved with was anything but small.

"Hmm" Nodded the patriarch, ushering him to continue.

"It seems like the person accompanying first elder Bai Yu is an esteemed celestial..." He spoke with a somber tone, making the hall go silent as the news they just heard was too unbelievable.

The patriarch was the first to break the silence "How sure are you?"

"Oh, I'm very sure my patriarch, it seems that the celestial is none other than the famed Immortal mentor." not allowing them to recover from their shock Daoist Lin dropped another unbelievable information on them.

"I-Impossible!"

"The esteemed Immortal Mentor?!"

"You mean to tell me he survived?! And now he is visiting the Bai clan?!"

"No wonder they would make their move!"

"We should leave for the Bai clan, my patriarch!"

"Yes! Yes! This is THAT Immortal mentor we are talking about! He may even help the patriarch with his bottleneck!"

Even though the news was unbelievable, none dared question Daoist Lin's credibility.

"Hmm, Silence!" Spoke the Patriarch with a booming voice filled with authority, silencing the hall as everyone respectfully waited for his orders.

Looking around the patriarch nodded in assent before speaking " The Bai clan is shamelessly trying to hide the esteemed Immortal mentor from us! Send an envoy to the Sword mount sect, now is time for us to set our differences aside, we shall march towards the shameless Bai clan!"

Cheering erupted amongst the elders as they all hastily took their leaves in preparation, leaving Daoist Lin and the Patriarch alone.

"Old friend, I hope you are right about this." said the Patriarch, this time his tone softened as he spoke to Daoist Lin.

"Do not worry my friend, the Immortal Mentor is not one to choose sides. This is our only chance!" Replied Daoist Lin, his once hunched back straightened as it seemed to be able to pierce the sky itself! Looking at the appearance of his friend, the patriarch couldn't help but smile, when was the last time he saw him this excited? No, when was the last he himself was this excited?!

"The Immortal Mentor..." he lightly muttered as he gazed at the open entrance, his face full of respect along with a hint of worship.
