Chapter 622: Chapter 509: Sect Master of Nanyang, Crown Prince of Dragon Palace (6K2)

The faint scent of blood had not yet completely dissipated.

The roar of Elder Liu seemed to still linger in everyone’s ears, until a cold breeze swept across, causing the cultivators on the square to shiver simultaneously, feeling a chill creep from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

They instinctively looked up, gazing towards the sky.

Shen Yi sat high on the long steps, his voice not loud, but in the deadly silence, it was enough for every cultivator to hear distinctly.

The thin letter pierced straight into the long table above.

Even after Liu Xingshan had fallen, the letter had still not been opened.

But no one questioned if there was anything amiss with this matter.

Not only Liu Xingshan’s agitated reaction almost certainly confirmed his guilty conscience, but there was also Shen Yi’s current status—as the Sect Master, his words were viewed as golden... To put it bluntly, even if Liu Xingshan were truly wronged, today, unless the other six Sect Masters spoke up, definitely no one else would dare to come forward and save him.

Of course, the matter was now settled.

Elder Liu was among the top powerhouses of the Seven Sons of Southern Hong, ranking just behind a few Daozi and the six great Sect Masters, his high status was without a doubt, his death should have shaken the entire Southern Hong, yet now it passed with such quiet, stirring not the slightest ripple.

Compared to the cause of his fall, the cultivators were more shocked by the process of his demise.

Even if Liu Xingshan was not in the right state, even if he had only opened two Cities, after all... he was still the venerable Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

He could stir giant waves in Southern Hong with a stomp of his foot.

Confronting such a strongman’s desperate strike, even Su Hongxiu or Wei Yuanzhou would need to focus completely, slightest inattention could risk a misstep.

But Sect Master Shen didn’t even bother to stand up.

He merely casually raised his palm, without summoning the Dao Palace, without opening the gates of Baiyun Capital’s Immortal City, he just pressed it down slowly and leisurely.

Liu Xingshan’s surging aura was instantly restored to calm.

The furious rushing figure seemed like a clay ox entering the sea, failing to stir up the slightest wave, then shattered into a pile of flesh.

Quelled so simply!

How could this possibly be a method a Baiyun Capital Cultivator should possess.

The Daozi who were initially watching the excitement all fell silent, then simultaneously cast wary glances toward the figure on the long steps.

"..."

Wei Yuanzhou’s eye twitched twice; this minor change, though slight for someone known for his steadiness, was somewhat out of character.

He was aware of Shen Yi’s rapid progress, but for the horrifying scene before him, his emotions were not much different from the other Daozi.

This was no longer something that could be explained by talent and insight.

The ancient books mentioned a legend about becoming an Immortal the moment one comprehends the Dao, but legends are ultimately false, yet here before him stood Sect Master Shen, who, in less than a year, had reached Baiyun Capital and now managed to crush his peers. This was very much real.

Other than reincarnation of an Immortal, Wei Yuanzhou could think of no other possibility.

Even the palm strike he had just delivered, it was reminiscent of an Immortal’s method, otherwise how could it be possible to effortlessly slay Liu Xingshan, a capable elder who could open three Cities, not mere fish on the chopping board.

He suddenly felt a bit afraid.

If at that time his sister had been a bit stronger and truly caused trouble for Sect Master Shen without letting him know, without leaving an opportunity for amendment... it wouldn’t just be a simple matter of sealing cultivation and confinement.

By Wei Yuanzhou’s side.

Su Hongxiu stood with hands hanging, her eyes fixed tightly on where Liu Xingshan had fallen. She closed her eyes, her mature-faced suffused with seriousness, her nostrils slightly twitched, as if she detected something.

That was the scent of the sword, like some kind of Sword Body she didn’t know.

Beyond that... there was the Dao Soldier.

If she wasn’t mistaken, it must be the Hongmeng Heavenly Soldier.

Just at the moment when Liu Xingshan’s body shattered, these faint traces of aura, though only appearing for a moment, were still keenly detected by Su Hongxiu.

It seemed just a palm strike, but it mingled with many things.

Liu Xingshan’s death was not unjust.

Su Hongxiu opened her eyes, not feeling proud despite recognizing these elements, but rather the look she cast Shen Yi carried even more seriousness and awe.

The deeper her understanding, the more terrifying she found his abilities.

Previously, she wondered when Shen Yi would grow strong enough to genuinely peak her interest for a real battle, but after this scene, all that remained in her mind was how to win, how to face this palm strike.

Even if she opened the third City, could she win?

The moment this thought arose, Su Hongxiu was momentarily taken aback.

Mind you, when facing Liu Xingshan earlier, she thought that if she went all out with a single stroke, she could decapitate him, but now due to Shen Yi, she started doubting herself.

"There will always be an opportunity for confrontation."

Su Hongxiu slowly shifted her gaze; she could no longer continue watching, otherwise it would only plunge her into confusion, fearing before the battle, damaging her Dao Heart.

"Why did they suddenly... start fighting..."

Fairy Bao Hua instinctively cast a glance towards her master, not because she was weak-minded, but simply because her age made her significantly younger compared to those Daozi of Southern Hong, coupled with a lack of experience.

More importantly, this matter involved Shen Yi, which inexplicably disturbed her.

"..."

The elderly crone holding a walking stick gently shook her head towards Fairy Bao Hua, signaling her disciple to calm down, but though she seemed composed, a fleeting look of envy in her eyes was unmistakably genuine.
