Chapter 631: Chapter 512: The Youth’s Spirits Eventually Falter, But The World Never Lacks Youth_3

Few were qualified to associate with the Western Dragon Palace, other than the South Dragon King, only the Crown Prince Ke remained.

Xuan Qing slightly turned: "Who leads the Qi Family’s troops?"

The Sect Master of Treasure Flower Sect bluntly said, "There are quite a few, but the leader is still the eldest of the Qi Family. Recently, there has been quite a discord with the Dragon Consort. I heard the Dragon Consort has sidelined him, even requiring that all messages and affairs within the demon army be reviewed by her first. Her maternal family’s power is overwhelming, suffocating him, yet unexpectedly, he still has the mind to meddle in the affairs of Southern Hong."

The Qi Family is different from the Ke Family; they have another candidate for Crown Prince, so he is termed as ’eldest of the Qi Family’ rather than Crown Prince.

Of course, this matter also has its variables.

It still depends on what attitude his Dragon Consort’s maternal family takes.

"Tsk."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Qing suddenly remembered something. He looked at Shen Yi with a complex expression, "Sect Master, let’s hold back for now, there’s no need to tread into the storm."

This statement sounded somewhat strange.

But in fact, given what Xuan Qing had learned about Shen Yi over the past days, if he did not mention it in advance, Shen Yi indeed might unwittingly offend the Qi Family.

The Seven Sons of Southern Hong are seven in number!

Moreover, the Nanyang Sect is currently the most destitute among them. The six other sect masters do nothing all day, instead letting the youngest one be so busy that even sleeping has become a luxury. How preposterous.

"Hmm."

Shen Yi did not turn around, lightly responding with a hum, yet his expression turned somewhat peculiar.

This matter sounded familiar to him.

The reminder from Elder Xuan Qing... seemed a bit late.

...

The Seven Sons of Southern Hong giving such considerable favor to Treasure Flower Sect, seeing it as half an Alliance Sect, was not just because of Xuan Qing’s relationship but also due to its unique position.

Like now.

The Western Dragon Palace had just made a move, and the seven sect masters had gathered together.

Such a lineup also indicated the severity of the matter.

The internal situation of Southern Hong hadn’t changed for many years, primarily due to the power of the Seven Sons of Southern Hong, which even after the extinction of the Nanyang Sect, still firmly suppressed the Southern Dragon Palace.

But under these circumstances, due to some past reasons, the Seven Sons of Southern Hong had to act low-key, neither contending nor scrambling, trying to minimize their presence.

The strong secluded themselves, while the weak acted unbridled.

Under such an odd situation, conflicts were unlikely to arise, and this tranquility was supposed to continue indefinitely.

Ke Family couldn’t bear it any longer; connecting with the Western Dragon Palace was obviously poised to make a big move.

The Seven Sons of Southern Hong, having let the Dragon Palace occupy most of the cultivation resources, watched as they pushed their luck. Since it wasn’t for profit, their motives were self-evident.

They even planned to strip the Seven Sons of their few remaining statuses.

It was unknown what madness Crown Prince of the Southern Palace was under—perhaps peaceful days had been too comfortable, compelling him to seek excitement.

But such matters, it’s always right to be prepared early.

"Thank you, Sect Master Shen and Ji," said the Sect Master of Unparalleled Sect, his expression unchanged, but his voice clearly a bit awkward.

The Seven Sects share close ties; the relationships among sect masters are basically either as siblings or as nieces and uncles.

Suddenly having such a young junior show up made it difficult for others to address him properly.

"It’s no bother, let’s see what Sect Master Shen thinks," said the cold lady in white robe as she glanced sideways at Shen Yi beside her—her eyes sweeping over his dark robe, reflecting a trace of emotion. This low-key style of conducting oneself, indeed different from the young man at the Seven Sons Grand Assembly.

"..."

Shen Yi silently glanced at the six people in front of him, setting aside ancestral images and celestial illusions; they looked no different from ordinary cultivators.

See his own meaning?

What else was there to see, when these people nearly had their intentions of driving him away written on their faces?

The matter for discussion today was quite straightforward.

Since the Western Dragon Palace had crossed the line, the Seven Sons of Southern Hong must respond accordingly.

Among human cultivators, although the relations aren’t as close as those in the Dragon Palace, they still maintain unity on the broad issues.

As for calling for reinforcements, sending Daozi would suffice.

If truly anxious, then send a genuine cultivator from the Unity Realm Stage as an escort.

From any aspect, there was no reason for Shen Yi to step forward; after all, his status was too high, yet his power too low.

"..."

The sect masters exchanged quiet glances.

Given Shen Yi’s nature, trouble was bound to arise. If the Western Palace and Southern Palace joined forces, it would be no small matter. It was best to transfer this young master elsewhere until they were fully prepared.

It would also give the parties a chance to relax and rest.

"Then it is decided. Each of us will escort three youngsters, which should also serve as a good training for them."

Ling Yue Sect Master slowly stood up and cupped his fists toward the two men, "Take care on your journey."

"No worries."

Shen Yi had no choice but to return the gesture with a cupped fist salute.

Frankly speaking, these cultivators at the Union Dao Stage had already shown him enough respect.

If even several Daozi couldn’t handle the situation, adding Shen Yi probably wouldn’t make a difference.

Sect Master Ji claimed to be guarding the younger generation, but in reality, he was also looking after Shen Yi.

"Let’s set off then."

Ji Jingxi rose and walked towards the exit.

Outside the great hall, six Daozi were already lined up in two columns.

Just by looking at the three who were waiting for him, Shen Yi could roughly understand how perfunctory the Unparalleled Sect Master’s inquiry had been.

Su Hongxiu, Bai Wu, Wei Yuanzhou.

Among them, Bai Wu, even being Sect Master Ji’s disciple, was assigned to his side. Could it be any more obvious?

"The sect master is not very satisfied with him?"

Su Hongxiu glanced at Bai Wu, guessing that Shen Yi’s dissatisfaction probably didn’t stem from her and Wei Yuanzhou.

"Next time you look for a reason, could you perhaps start with yourself? Connecting with the Western Hong forces is something that doesn’t seem to make any difference whether you’re involved or not," Bai Wu retorted with a forced smile.

He then sneakily glanced at his master beside him, bolstered with more confidence, "Oh, there is a difference, at least you won’t offend anyone."

Even before they set off, the atmosphere had already turned somewhat strange.

Shen Yi glanced at these two, suddenly feeling the urge to trade places with Sect Master Ji.

"Bai Wu is a bit annoying, but he makes it convenient for me to get in touch. If anything happens, I can also hurry over. Please be a little more patient with him," Ji Jingxi said, nodding apologetically.

She didn’t quite understand why she had ended up with such a disciple.

"I’ve already discussed the specifics with Yuanzhou. You can consult with him along the way, Sect Master Shen. There should be no troubles."

Truthfully, for matters like these, a sect master needn’t necessarily intervene, otherwise it might lead other forces to underestimate the Seven Sons of Southern Hong.

Given Wei Yuanzhou’s nature, he was very likely to handle things well.

Western Dragon Palace’s demon army pressed into Southern Hong, temporarily relieving pressure on the Western Hong forces, but also leaving behind endless troubles. As long as no one was truly brainless, they wouldn’t trouble these Daozi.

"If there’s nothing else, let’s set off."

Ji Jingxi took out a magnificent treasure ship, stepped onto it with the other three Daozi.

"There’s something else," Shen Yi suddenly called out to her.

Sect Master Ji looked down inquiringly.

"Borrow your ship," Shen Yi said straightforwardly, returning her gaze. The Spirit Puppet Azure Lion from Nanyang Sect couldn’t compare to the genuine magic treasures of the Immortal Sect.

Since they were going on a long journey, why make it hard for themselves?

"..."

Ji Jingxi pondered for a moment, unable to suppress the slight curl of her lips.

After taking a break, this Sect Master Shen seemed even more interesting than before.

She extended her hand slightly, "Why not travel together?"

"To refuse would be disrespectful."

Shen Yi, unbothered by appearing weak, led Su Hongxiu and the others onto the ship with an air of decisiveness.

Seeing this, Ji Jingxi gently shook her head.

Frankly speaking, Union Dao Realm cultivators weren’t as unapproachable as others thought. Several fellow disciples actually found dealing with Shen Yi quite troublesome.

Now it seemed he wasn’t as difficult to get along with as imagined.

The splendid Qingyue Treasure Ship slowly rose, then transformed into a streak of light, disappearing when it next appeared, having left the Immortal Sect’s sacred ground and entered the boundless sea of clouds, speeding towards the west!
