Chapter 704: Chapter 535 What was considered making enemies before is nothing compared to now (Sorry, it’s a bit too late)

From afar, one may not know the mountain’s height, only by climbing that rugged path does one realize the difficulty with every step.

With experience from last time, and bolstered by the True Intent of Shen Yue underneath.

Shen Yi infused the Demon Lifespan Years into himself at an increasing pace, with shorter and shorter rest periods.

If the first climb felt like the oppression of the vast, as if he was sinking in a quagmire,

then this time, it seemed as if the endless quagmire had coalesced into a mountain, which then continued to shrink until it was the size of a palm, before it mercilessly pressed down upon the climber’s back.

It was a crushing weight that made one feel as if the soul would scatter to the winds.

And in An Yi’s eyes,

Shen Yi sat cross-legged just outside a low hill, even his shoulders uncontrollably trembling, his black robe long soaked through, sticking clammy against his skin.

No matter how she wiped, she couldn’t remove the fatigue between his brows.

Until a streak of light swept across the sky.

Having just landed at Nameless Mountain, Yan Chongzhang saw the Elder Yang with a stupefied expression.

That look inexplicably reminded him of himself, back when Shen had observed the mountain.

This audacious thought made Yan Chongzhang momentarily forget about Pan Boyang and he started to search for Shen Yi with an eager urgency.

Upon seeing that familiar silhouette,

a measure of fear rose in Yan Chongzhang’s eyes, "..."

He knew of Nameless Mountain’s fondness for Shen, and he had been trying to digest the affair of the three days from last time. Just when he was nearly convincing himself, now came this new development.

How long had it been? Just an afternoon?

Judging by the changes in Shen’s appearance, it was clear he had gained considerably.

What, was Nameless Mountain so worried he’d be too weary to return that it decided to just craft a shortcut for him?

"Look on the bright side... at least he made the effort to take a look himself, it’s not like the mountain went seeking him out,"

Yang Yunheng slapped his fellow Daozi’s shoulder, offering his reassurance, "Right, you’ve taken care of that person?"

"Huh."

Yan Chongzhang rubbed his temples forcefully, forcing himself to look away from Shen Yi, lest he couldn’t resist the urge to rush up and throttle him.

"Who is this?" He looked towards the young girl beside him.

"A clever little one brought by Daoist Shen, quite well-behaved, but shares the same indifferent character as him,"

Yang Yunheng offered a smile, then saw the anxiety in the depths of Yan Chongzhang’s eyes, "What’s wrong? Surely that Pan isn’t making trouble on our turf."

"Forget it, just keep your lips sealed," Yan Chongzhang didn’t hold back, directly informing his peer about the matter from the hall earlier, "Fortunately, Shen gave me another surprise. You handle it for now. Once his mountain observation is done, I will see him off."

"..."

Yang Yunheng took a deep breath, who could have imagined that a direct disciple of the mighty Infinite Dao Emperor Sect would utter such shameless words, trying to splash the dirty water on the Ban Shan Sect.

Yet the name of Xue Yan resounded through Western Hong, so if they could avoid offending him, it was for the best.

"I’m off," the elder nodded lightly and, turning into a streak of light, disappeared into the sky.

Yan Chongzhang withdrew his gaze, only to suddenly realize Shen Yi’s trembling form had ceased.

In an instant, those deep black eyes slowly opened, the vast pupils reflecting a towering stone stele inscribed with the crudely etched words "Town Yue."

[Union Dao (Rare). Town Yue Technique: Entry-level unattained]

[Remaining Demon Lifespan Years: 230,000]

"Is this... over?"

Yan Chongzhang stood rooted to the spot. The Town Yue Technique, which he had climbed for so many years to barely see, achieving only up to the entry-level and which had won him great fame in Western Hong, had now been so effortlessly assimilated into Shen’s mind.

Even without the matter of Pan Boyang, he couldn’t suppress the urge to send Shen Yi away from the Ban Shan Sect.

Really, it was infuriating!

Why was this mountain so harsh towards their group of cultivators?

Yan Chongzhang took several deep breaths and quickly approached, taking out the Treasure Pills he had prepared for nurturing the Divine Soul, "Daoist Shen, quickly take these, do not let your foundations be damaged."

"Thank you, Daozi Yan."

Shen Yi adjusted his feelings out of habit, striving to maintain a calm demeanor, his voice hoarse as he muttered his thanks.

However, at that moment, An Yi reached out to take the Treasure Pill, taking small steps towards Shen, silently extending her hand, wiping his sweat with her sleeve once again, before placing the Treasure Pill in his hands.

Although she did not know what Shen had just gone through,

she wished someone could have patted her head in a similar way during her most painful and helpless moment inside that eerie Great Tomb.

So, she did it subconsciously.

"..."

Shen Yi glanced at the young girl and then realized that with a Union Dao Realm Town Stone watching over him, he did indeed have some foundation to rely on.

He closed his eyes again and, when he reopened them, those forcefully stilled eyes finally betrayed feelings of irritation and resistance.

Who would enjoy the agony of a spine being crushed, climbing up Lao Shizi’s mountain road, especially for nearly four hundred thousand years?

Right now, he wanted nothing more than to shatter Nameless Mountain with his foot!

Shen Yi gulped down the soul-nourishing Treasure Pill with a bit of a defiant air, bewildering Yan Chongzhang who had never seen him with such an expression before.

What’s the matter, did he have a spat with Nameless Mountain?

Did that mean... he had a chance?

Yan Chongzhang shook his head, dismissing the bizarre thought and said somewhat tactfully, "I really am tied up with some matters and can’t keep you company for too long. If Daoist Shen has no other business, I’ll take you away from here. When we have the chance, let’s have a proper gathering again and not part until we are good and drunk."
