"It's astonishing that three powerful figures have come to the Longevity Sect as guests at the same time." The green-robed man slightly bowed, his voice hoarse:

"Xu Zishi, a gatekeeper of the Changsheng Sect. I apologize for not greeting you sooner."

Xu Zishi's gaze swept quickly over the three people in front of him, his eyes revealing scrutiny.

His gaze lingered on Li Yu the longest, and surprisingly, he even revealed a hint of apprehension:

"The presence of these three distinguished guests is an honor to our humble abode."

He first looked at the monk Jingshi at the front and politely said:

“The eminent monk of the Reincarnation Monastery, ranked eighteenth on the Popularity List, Master Jingshi.”

Xu Zishi then turned to look at Li Yu, who was riding a black steed and carrying a bow and arrows:

"The renowned hero of Central Plains, the God of Arrows, Li Yu."

Although he was wary of Li Yu's invincible record in the newspaper, he was still impressed when he saw Li Yu. His aura and demeanor were almost identical to those in the newspaper photos.

Xu Zishi's gaze finally swept over Lu Fan, a hint of undisguised contempt creeping onto his lips:

"And... an unknown person."

Lu Fan remained expressionless, as if that harsh contempt was merely a gentle breeze.

To be honest, it's normal that he doesn't recognize him; it would be surprising if he did.

However, a cold glint seemed to flash from the invisible weapon in Lu Fan's hand.

Seeing that Lu Fan ignored him, Xu Zishi gave a forced smile, his cold gaze refocusing on the monk Jingshi at the front:

"May I ask what brings the three of you here? The Longevity Sect is a place of quiet cultivation; if there is nothing urgent, please..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was forcefully pushed back several steps by an overwhelming Buddhist force! The transparent energy wall that was being maintained also collapsed.

Xu Zishi, who had been knocked aside, looked solemn and flashed to block the path of Monk Jingshi once again.

Seeing this, even Li Yu secretly admired him. Facing the three Star Lords alone, he did not feel even a trace of fear in his heart. This person was truly extraordinary!

Li Yu was unaware that Xu Zishi's courage did not stem from his own strength, but rather from the confidence given to him by the people behind the Changsheng Sect.

Seeing Xu Zishi blocking his way again, the monk Jingshi, who had been silent all along, finally reacted.

"Amitabha."

The monk Jingshi looked at the ghostly Luo Fei on his staff and murmured:

"Benefactor Luo, you should watch closely. It's time to cleanse this cycle of cause and effect with karmic fire—"
