Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 1097 - 688: Incident in Hongze

Chapter 1097: Chapter 688: Incident in Hongze

Even as an observer, Ye Lan could feel the utter despair of the father and son as they faced death.

She herself is in the process of exploring the Dao, and hence, understands even more how difficult this path is.

Although Dao Fruit and Fruit Position are not the same things, they both conform to the rule of the number seventy-two; the Taixu Dao Fruit is ranked among the top ten, far surpassing the Dragon Tiger Dao Fruit, which is ranked past thirty.

However, upon the completion of his path, the power of Shen Yi’s Fruit Position crushed the Dao of the Taixu Divine Sun cultivated by Mu Yang Taoist.

What kind of heavenly talent can comprehend such a deep and Mysterious Dao!

"By luck."

Shen Yi isn’t being modest. Mainly it was due to his original idea of reconstructing two Demon Souls to aid in transcending tribulations, which wasn’t his intention but a subtle misunderstanding that arose after seeing the Dragon and Tiger Arhat Golden Body conjured by two Bodhi Sect Walkers.

But then again, even if other Walkers had similar ideas, without the help of a template, restoring a complete Demon Soul is already difficult, not to mention taking two Demon Souls through a thousand tribulations and ensuring they don’t dissipate from the torment of those tribulations.

It is nearly an impossible task.

"..."

At these words, Ye Lan was somewhat speechless.

After all, she is also a Cultivator who has long considered herself somewhat of a "senior." Even though she holds a good impression of Shen Yi, observing herself being surpassed still involuntarily brings a touch of sentiment to her heart.

If there were really that many moments of luck in the world, how could she be trapped in the Fifth Grade Realm for so long.

Shen Yi didn’t have much time to bother with these little thoughts of the Heavenly Prides.

He casually took out a carefully folded piece of paper from the Taixu Realm.

Unfolding the blood-stained paper, Shen Yi glanced over the content.

Just as he suspected.

Not a naive youngster any longer, Shen Yi couldn’t be fooled by just a few words from Mu Yang Taoist.

From the content of this letter, it wasn’t even close to conclusive; Qingluan probably doesn’t even have a single piece of evidence, and is still just guessing.

Of course, the fact that someone from the other party actually came to Shenxu Mountain to inquire was slightly beyond Shen Yi’s expectations.

Fortunately, he didn’t have much to do with Shenxu Mountain, and even if Mu Yang wanted to betray his fellow sect members, he probably couldn’t come up with any useful information.

"Whew."

Shen Yi refolded the letter.

Even so, he couldn’t afford to be careless.

"How is it?" Ye Lan, knowing that this Junior Brother had stirred up trouble, had not inquired much about his background, but she was still somewhat worried at this moment.

After all, if it’s something that even the background of Shenxu Mountain couldn’t hide, it obviously wouldn’t be a small trouble.

Ye Lan hadn’t known Shen Yi for long, but from her perspective, though his actions along the way had been decisive and ruthless, they were all justified and he was definitely not a bad person.

"It’s okay, let’s finish up and head back."

As Shen Yi packed up his belongings, returning to Jianyang Prefecture was definitely justifiable. Then, whether it were issues from Qinghua or from Hongze, he could arrive at the scene in a timely manner.

After speaking, he stepped directly into the void, heading towards Shenxu Mountain.

"Ah."

Ye Lan clenched her fist, feeling rather helpless.

However, thinking about it, it felt normal. Shen Yi earned the trust of her and others because he was reliable.

As for herself, what had she done to earn Shen Yi’s trust?

It’s normal for him not to talk about it; if he was so easily trusting, he probably wouldn’t have made it this far and would have died on the roadside long ago.

...

As two figures dashed out of the Taixu, each Peak sensed it.

One by one, the Peak Masters leaped into the air.

"He’s back so soon, I thought it would be a few more days." Taoist Jin Xue said with a smile.

"..." As the chief of the Eight Peaks, the Great Senior Brother with the Taoist name Jin Lei, though he did not speak, his attitude was clearly much more approving.

His expectations for his fellow sect members were not high; as long as they remembered the teachings of the Master and took them to heart, that was enough.

"A few days ago, Hong Jing from the Jade Pond Immortal Sect, who is now an Immortal General in the heavens, came to Shenxu Mountain to look for you, saying that Qingluan Immortal General took a liking to you at first sight and wanted to befriend you, but later Mu Yang welcomed him in," said Qian Feng Taoist, glancing at Shen Yi, seeming to casually chat but with a hint of caution.

Even if that Immortal General truly came for the sake of friendship, one must be careful of Mu Yang’s pettiness making derogatory remarks behind their backs, damaging others’ reputations.

"Thank you."

Shen Yi nodded slightly.

Ye Lan, standing behind him, was filled with emotion as she looked at the young man’s calm demeanor, who would have thought that he had just personally killed Mu Yang Taoist.

Such strong nerve, how was it forged?

"Enough idle talk; all necessary preparations have been made, let’s attend to the important matters." Jin Lei Daoist waved his hand, interrupting everyone’s conversation.

The Shenxu Dao Fruit is one of the Third Grade Daluo Dao Fruits.

Its mystery lies in traveling through the Taixu.

Therefore, Shenxu Ancestor is usually in this state, and only returns to the physical world when he needs to replenish, temporarily awakening from his quiescence.

The Peak Masters who wanted to consult on the path of cultivation or report important matters to the sect could only wait for the Master to finish replenishing before he returned to the Taixu.

"You take him."

Jin Lei Daoist first used his gaze to stop Jin Xue Junior Sister, who was about to move, then looked towards Ye Lan.

"..."

Perhaps having spent too long with Shen Yi, Ye Lan was now also accustomed to not showing her emotions easily.

She nodded: "Okay."
