Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 715 - 540: A Clear Distinction?

Chapter 715: Chapter 540: A Clear Distinction?

"This, what’s the difference between this and the Unity Realm Stage?"

Having bid farewell to Sect Master Shen, Dai Jianshu flew restlessly in the direction of Teng Yun Market, still unable to restrain himself from recalling the previous events, his lips twitching as he looked over at Zhong Xiu.

He casually shattered the Nine Dragons White Jade Shield and, with a mere glance, killed a cultivator from Wanxiang Pavilion; but what was truly terrifying was that Jade Pendant Dao Soldier—under the rampant tiger’s roar, many Great Demons comparable to those in White Jade Capital didn’t even have the chance to beg for mercy.

If a giant of the Unity Realm Stage didn’t intervene, Dai Jianshu found it hard to imagine who else could surpass Sect Master Shen at the level of White Jade Capital.

Could it be that they had to rely on the legendary Immortal Law?!

"Indeed, it’s quite frightening."

Zhong Xiu took a deep breath, and even with his composure, his fingertips were trembling uncontrollably at this moment.

Could this young Sect Master really be just like them, having come from Southern Hong?

They all had access to the same resources... no, it seemed like Sect Master Shen didn’t use anything from the South Hong Seven Sons; and as for that Nanyang Treasure Land, which had been silent for years, had any value remained?

So, how exactly had the other party grown to such a terrifying extent?

Could it be that if one’s talents were sufficient, they could really ignore the disparity between Heaven and Earth Treasures and Cultivation Techniques?

Zhong Xiu shook his head, discarding this absurd thought; rather than believe that, he might as well believe Shen Yi was the reincarnation of Sect Master Qin.

A trace of fear crossed his eyes: "Fortunately, Qi Family’s Seven Dragon Sons were careless; otherwise, even with Sect Master Shen protecting us, we would’ve been in trouble today."

"Who knows what those people were thinking!"

Talking about this, Dai Jianshu was also filled with anger.

The way people from Western Hong went about their business, didn’t they have any sense of logic? Couldn’t they figure it out? If they really pushed the South Hong Seven Sons into a corner, to take a few major powers along with them wouldn’t be a problem.

"Do you still remember what Lu Mingchuan talked about earlier?" Zhong Xiu slowly raised his eyes, unconvinced that Wanxiang Pavilion, as an information-gathering power, could be fools... and even if they were fools, they couldn’t possibly be this foolish.

There must be something that the South Hong Seven Sons didn’t know, something that made them so certain that Dragon Palace would win, to the point of believing the Seven Sons wouldn’t have the spare capacity to set foot in Western Hong’s territory again.

"This is rather serious."

Without waiting for Dai Jianshu to respond, Zhong Xiu took out the Communication Jade Slip, "Things have gotten quite messy; let’s meet up first. The request for reinforcements can be put on hold, let’s not act rashly for the time being, and wait for Master Ji to return before making a decision."

If the South Hong Seven Sons had really offended some other power, they at least needed to understand why, and if there was any room for easing tensions.

Otherwise, going to war with so many powers at the same time, it’s not just the South Hong Seven Sons who would be overwhelmed, even the Immeasurable Dao Imperial Palace Sect could not handle it.

"Judging by the days, Uncle Master Ji should also have finished talking with the Dragon Consort of Mount Yu, right?"

Dai Jianshu sighed and looked out over the water.

Although Master Ji still carried her usual cool composure, from the fact that she had taken the initiative to seek out Elder Zi Xian, it was evident that the lack of progress in requesting reinforcements had pressured her considerably.

That was why, using her identity as an old friend, she attempted to figure out what Western Dragon Palace’s intentions were, and discussed not getting them involved in Southern Hong’s affairs.

Meanwhile...

At the top of the hundred layered Mount Yu, in the Western Hong waters.

Outside the quiet boudoir, there stood an extravagant banquet table.

The imposing middle-aged Great Demon, clad in heavy armor, was seated on the ground, irritably guzzling from a wine jar, "Sister-in-law, sending for me isn’t just to treat me to a meal, is it?"

What drew the most attention to this Great Demon was the pair of glittering jade-like dragon horns on his head.

The Dragon of Jade Horns and Silver, Lord of Western Hong.

Adding to his earlier words, his identity was self-evident—as a Dragon Demon on par with the Unity Realm Stage, the seventh son of the Qi Family, Qi Zhaoping!

Yet, under the interrogation of this greatly respected and fearsome demon, the boudoir remained silent.

"..."

After waiting for a moment, the anxiety of Qi Seven was palpable as he stood up slowly, sarcastically suggesting, "Besides, with the big brother absent, my visit alone to the sister-in-law’s banquet might sound a bit unsightly if word got out. Shall I... come in to talk?"

"Of course, if the sister-in-law isn’t willing, in my opinion, we better meet some other convenient time."

In the face of such overstepping comments, any ordinary Dragon Consort would be utterly humiliated and angered.

Finally, a soft and gentle voice came from the boudoir, not loud yet concise and to the point.

"Sit down."

Those two short words made Qi Seven’s face change colors several times. He slammed the wine jar on the table, his robust chest heaving with uncertainty, but ultimately, he sat down again.

This insolent woman from Eastern Hong, relying on her powerful natal family, strutted around Western Hong thinking she owned the place.

Regardless of her attractiveness, which man could endure being overshadowed by his own wife? No wonder his elder brother was often away, and now he had even gone to Southern Hong.

Moreover, according to recent rumors, it wasn’t just his brother; this damn woman seemed to have colluded with several other brothers, showing signs of becoming an overwhelmingly powerful party.

Of course, there were reasons for this.

After all, she had to assist the elder brother in competing for the Crown Prince position.

But Qi Seven always felt something amiss, as if it was not so much about helping his brother secure the position of the Dragon King of the West, but more like this sister-in-law of his wanted to take the throne for herself.

Was she aiming to rule from behind the curtains, bringing such tactics to Western Hong?

"Heh..."

Qi Seven angrily opened another jar of exquisite wine, suppressing his thoughts. After all, he wasn’t in a rush; with gifts of Magic Treasures and elite subordinates deployed, surely there couldn’t be any mishaps.
