Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 583 - 583 494 There is Strength in Numbers

Chapter 583: Chapter 494: There is Strength in Numbers Chapter 583: Chapter 494: There is Strength in Numbers Under the protection of the Nan Hong Seven Sons, the once tranquil tributary forces suddenly found themselves plunged into bloody melee.

There was no reason, no purpose.

The group of Aquatic Race Demons quietly emerged from the water’s surface.

The commonality amongst these attacked tributary forces was that they were all under the jurisdiction of Elder Liu Shiqian.

It wasn’t until many deacons and external elders of the Pure Moon Sect arrived to aid that the situation was barely brought under control.

Just as the rest of the Nan Hong forces were feeling anxious, secretly speculating whether this fierce battle would continue to escalate.

The water demons, as if having received some command, neatly retreated back and submerged into the depths once more.

Leaving only remnants of corpses and shattered bones behind.

“…”

The external elder of the Pure Moon Sect hovered in the air, manipulating the Array, his eyebrows knit tightly without showing any sign of joy.

Instead, he glanced unconsciously back toward an insignificant figure among the cultivators.

“Huff.”

Liu Qianyun took a deep breath, steadying her emotions.

But her fingertips trembled uncontrollably.

The group of demons seemed aimless, not looting anything, but the targets they chose to attack were too obvious.

Now that they had withdrawn mysteriously, it was clear that the person behind them had obtained what they wanted.

“Father…”

Liu Qianyun clenched her fists and quietly slipped away from the crowd, then hurriedly headed in a certain direction.

Merely third level of Return to Void in cultivation.

In front of these cultivators qualified to leave the sect, she was the bottom, her actions could hardly escape the notice of others.

It was just that everyone pretended not to see.

After all, they hadn’t received any command from the elders, indicating that Elder Liu hadn’t intended to blow the matter up completely.

What exactly had happened?

…

Meanwhile.

Among the surging waves of Wang Yang, a slender figure stood with hands behind his back, treading upon a lone leaf craft.

That somewhat stern face, with clear eyes, quietly swept across the void ahead.

It seemed as if he was the only one there.

But in those rising waves, it was as if murder lay hidden.

However fierce the waves were, they could not touch even the hem of his robe.

Liu Shiqian shook his head, “You’ve gone to great lengths to summon me out here, it can’t be just to scare this old man with these child’s tricks.”

As his voice fell, the water’s surface suddenly fell into a deathly stillness.

The water, which had been flowing just moments ago, now seemed frozen in time, turning into a piece of azure gemstone.

Suddenly, a hoarse voice rose from beneath the water, “Then what do you think, I called you out here for?”

Liu Shiqian looked down and said indifferently, “Definitely not to kill this old man, at least not in this manner.”

“Why?” The voice from under the water chuckled.

“Because you don’t dare,” Liu Shiqian patted his sleeve, too lazy to even bring out a magical treasure, “Without proof, you, a mere watchdog, wouldn’t dare bring trouble to the Dragon Palace.”

Elder Liu, normally so stern and strict, had provoked heavy breathing from the presence underwater with just one sentence.

It was widely known that among the thirteen Dragon Descendants, Elder Ke Si was at the forefront in terms of strength and disposition, overwhelming most of his brothers.

Yet only a few knew that the reason for his prominence was that the Southern Dragon Palace did not actually see him as a successor.

Within an Immortal Sect, he wouldn’t even count as a Daozi, at most a Protector Elder.

Launching an attack on an elder of the Pure Moon Sect, right in front of Nan Hong, wasn’t his decision to make.

There was silence from beneath the water for a long while.

Finally, the laughter returned, “Then why did you come out?”

It couldn’t do anything openly, but by stirring up a little trouble, it could leave the deacons of the Pure Moon Sect harried and even make them pay a heavy price.

And all these damages were because of Liu Shiqian.

Sometimes, an overly rigid spine is not a good thing, making it easy to be manipulated.

At least this Elder Liu would definitely not just stand by and let this happen.

On the contrary, Elder Ke Si didn’t care about the life or death of those aquatic demons.

Using the lives of demons to exchange for the lives of his disciples from the Pure Moon Sect was something he would not feel heartache or guilt over.

“How about this, you tell me, who exactly killed my brother, and for what reasons. I’ll let you off the hook if you can clarify everything, as resentment has a source and debtors have their master,” Elder Ke Si’s voice carried a trace of amusement.

“…”

Liu Shiqian’s eyes laced with irony, he exhaled softly, “Well then, you tell me, who sent you that message?”

Just a few short sentences.

Elder Ke Si found himself silent for the third time.

It wasn’t actually trying to learn the identity of the dragon slayer from this old man, as the letter had made things perfectly clear; it simply wanted to tease Liu Shiqian, as retribution for the previous mockery of being called a “watchdog.”

But clearly, Liu Shiqian had guessed everything already.

The deliberately playful tone in Elder Ke Si’s laughter finally faded, as it stated gravely, “I had not expected, Elder Liu, for you to be so sharp-tongued.”

It was done with talking.

“Immortal’s Cave, three days. If you emerge alive, we will let this matter rest; if you die, I will not pursue it further.”

The so-called Immortal’s Cave was a secret realm within Nan Hong.

It had been explored by cultivators thousands of times and had long been abandoned; its only peculiarity was that once inside the cave, one was completely cut off from the outside world, making it an excellent place for murder and concealing bodies.

Over time, it became an accepted convention.

Entering the Immortal’s Cave was tantamount to signing a life-and-death agreement.

“Not pursue it further… Hah, you don’t have the right to represent the Dragon Palace,” Liu Shiqian shook his head, murmured in the calmest of tones, yet didn’t reject the proposition. Instead, he slowly turned around, his lone craft suddenly surged forward, heading towards a certain destination.
