Chapter 627: Chapter 510: Take a Break if You’re Tired_2

```

However, what left the Daozi somewhat astonished was,

Shen Yi glanced at the people lightly, "What messenger?"

Upon hearing these words, a spasm twitched at the corner of Bai Wu’s lips, his face betraying a hint of speechlessness.

Feigning... ignorance?

The Southern Dragon Palace has already come knocking on the door, trying to fool them with such a tactic, isn’t it a bit unrealistic?

As a noble Immortal Sect, one couldn’t simply turn away envoys from the Dragon Palace, shut the Great Formation and play deaf... But it seems like Nanyang Sect is indeed doing exactly that, still not completely opening its Sect’s Array up to now.

Bai Wu was not the only one feeling helpless.

The Daozi from Unparalleled Sect who had spoken previously was clearly dissatisfied with this response, but didn’t say much else, instead turning and pointing in a certain direction, "Reporting to Sect Master Shen, the envoy from the Southern Dragon Palace is right over..."

Before he could finish speaking, the finger of the Daozi pointed out hung in the air, hesitating slightly.

He suddenly realized something.

The Seven Sons Grand Assembly had ended, and given the brutish nature of those monstrous soldiers from the Crown Prince’s hall of the Southern Dragon Palace, holding the Imperial Edict in their hands and remaining patient until now was already surprising; they ought to have come calling much earlier, so why was it so quiet.

"Understood."

Shen Yi nodded lightly, stepping past the others, "Let them come for me at Nanyang Sect when they arrive."

In truth, he just wanted to test the attitude of the Alliance Sect; he wasn’t seriously planning to sever ties with the Southern Dragon Palace.

As a hunter, unless necessary, agitating the prey into a full-on backlash is an exceedingly foolish act.

Moreover, with his current strength, if a Great Demon from the Unity Realm Stage truly set its sights on him, he would be utterly defenseless.

Making a fortune in silence was the logical choice.

Hence, Shen Yi had arranged for Wu Jun and Ke Shisan to go, to stir up the muddy waters even further.

Since these two Great Demons had survived a Heavenly Tribulation and become Hall Masters of both East Hall and Northern Palace, their figures had undergone great changes, and unless one investigated meticulously, it would be very hard to discover their true nature as Town Stones.

The sudden appearance of two such ferocious demons in the Southern Hong was enough to keep the Southern Dragon Palace busy for a good while.

And Wu Jun’s performance even exceeded Shen Yi’s expectations.

Not only did he confuse the situation... but he also seemed to have attracted most of the rage from that Dragon Crown Prince.

It looked like he was going to buy himself quite a lot of time.

"..."

Su Hongxiu watched silently as Shen Yi’s figure receded, her eyebrows slightly raised.

Considering the methods Shen Yi had displayed earlier, it was highly likely that he was behind the recent affairs of the Aquatic Race.

But his current reaction seemed somewhat off.

With this thought in mind, she too cast her gaze in that direction, her eyes beginning to shimmer uncertainly. In warfare, envoys are not to be harmed, especially since the Dragon Palace merely came to inquire and had not really started fighting... But she didn’t think Shen Yi was a person to abide by such rules.

Could it be that the envoys from the Southern Dragon Palace are already gone?

Even the notoriously ruthless Su Hongxiu felt a slight shiver at the base of her heart at the thought that raced through her mind.

Madness! If word got out, nevermind the Western Hong’s Dragon Palace, even the other two Dragon Palaces might be compelled to take action.

This wasn’t a question of giving or not giving face, it was a complete disregard for the Dragon Palace.

But looking at the calm figure of Shen Yi, Su Hongxiu had to suppress the shock and suspicion in her heart, pretending as if she hadn’t noticed anything.

Wei Yuanzhou took a step forward to follow.

"Sect Master Shen, Yuanzhou has a request to implore of you."

With meticulous formality, he bowed to Shen Yi and said concisely, "Wei Yuanling, the direct disciple of Ling Yun Sect has offended the Sect Master Shen. Yuanzhou seeks a pardon on her behalf, hoping the Sect Master can show leniency and spare her this once. If Sect Master Shen’s anger has not subsided, Yuanzhou is willing to make amends to the best of his ability."

This Daozi from Ling Yun Sect did not mention having previously helped Sect Master Shen, and his attitude was also utterly sincere.

However, Shen Yi fell into silence.

He had found it odd before, having never met this Daozi, yet the latter had looked after him more than once, both openly and secretly.

So this was the reason behind it.

But... who is Wei Yuanling?

"This..."

Wei Yuanzhou caught the fleeting confusion in Shen Yi’s eyes, and for a moment, he stood there stunned, then gave a wry smile tinged with resignation.

The matter he considered so significant had already been forgotten by the other party.

Indeed, it was quite the immortal demeanor, untouched by the disturbances of the mortal world, no wonder his cultivation had advanced so rapidly.

Even setting aside the matter of realm and strength, as Wei Yuanzhou looked at Shen Yi again, he felt an added sense of inferiority in his heart.

Perhaps being so concerned with the so-called rules, he had instead bound himself by them, lacking much of the detachment.

"Yuanzhou understands now."

Taking a half step back, Wei Yuanzhou bowed once again.

What his sister needed was not a pardon from Sect Master Shen, but genuine contrition. If she couldn’t step out of her resentment and still felt wronged by others, then even if she left her physical prison, she would remain trapped in a greater prison within her heart.

"Understood now?"

Shen Yi snapped back to reality, raising an eyebrow, understood what?

Why were these Daozi one more cryptic than the next?

Nevermind, it was none of his business.

All he wanted was to head back to the Sect quickly and rest a while. The climb up the Sky-reaching Path had truly made Shen Yi revisit a rare sense of weariness.

Not of the body, but a lingering fatigue between the soul.

It seemed he truly hadn’t had a proper rest in a long while.

Now that he had initially secured his position in the Southern Hong, it surely wouldn’t be excessive to sleep in peace and quiet for a while.

"..."

Standing some distance away from everybody else, Fairy Bao Hua finally finished listening to the Daozi discussing matters, and subconsciously wanted to follow after that familiar figure.
