Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 737 - 548: Trouble in the Nanyang Sect

Chapter 737: Chapter 548: Trouble in the Nanyang Sect

Yunhe Sect, as an entity that had long dominated this region, was already like an Emperor of the soil, let alone its Sect Master, who was a powerful cultivator since the foundation of the sect and had remained strong ever since.

The exalted status of his position goes without saying.

However, precisely because of this, among the cultivators who had survived that chaotic carnage of a hundred thousand years, most had received the beneficence of the Purple-Bearded White Dragon at some point.

"No need for pleasantries, saving lives is urgent."

The Yunhe Sect Master gently waved his sleeve, stopping Fairy Zi Lan from bowing, and instead, he gave a salutation as one would to a peer.

The friends from the East Dragon Palace, encountering trouble on lands under his own supervision, and Yunhe Sect being unaware of it, was embarrassing enough.

The multitude of cultivators above the clouds, upon seeing the famous Fairy Zi Lan from Hongze, and while they were attracted by her fairy-like beauty, each also showed a hint of embarrassment on their faces.

Even a vassal force like Red Maple Valley had to rely on an outsider, Fairy Zi Lan, for rescue.

It was frankly laughable.

"Senior, this Daoist of mine has already returned on his own."

Fairy Zi Lan gave a helpless smile, gently alleviating everyone’s anxiety with her warm voice.

Upon hearing this, the Yunhe Sect Master was slightly startled, "The letter mentioned a Great Demon close to the Unity Realm Stage."

Fairy Zi Lan glanced sideways at Shen Yi, falling into silence.

If he refused to speak, how could she know the circumstances? The power of the Great Demon, having been experienced personally by her, was genuine. Even someone with the immense talent and rich bloodline like Yue Tiance, a junior from the prominent Northern Hong family, wouldn’t have possibly returned unharmed.

Following the Fairy’s gaze, the densely packed figures in the clouds all turned their eyes towards that young man in a dark robe.

Upon seeing his youth, the expressions of the elders and direct disciples subtly changed.

"Do you believe it?"

Luo Changchun asked someone next to him in a low voice.

As a Daozi of Yunhe Sect, while his strength wasn’t top-notch among the young cultivators, it was certainly first-rate, yet escaping from a Great Demon comparable to the Unity Realm Stage was something he dared not even contemplate.

Suddenly, he received an unexpected response.

"I... believe."

Luo Changchun turned his head in astonishment, only to see Lin You staring intently at the young man in the dark robe with an odd expression.

"Nothing."

As if realizing her lapse, Lin You quickly shook her head, skirting past the topic.

Before arriving, she had been somewhat irritated.

After spending so much time, she had barely persuaded Yunhe Sect to support the Seven Sons of Southern Hong, only for the East Dragon Palace to unexpectedly come into the picture.

Compared to the enormous influence of Eastern Hong, the prestige of the Seven Sons of Southern Hong seemed much less significant.

But now, her perspective had changed.

Looking at the familiar handsome face below, along with his calm demeanor... who else could it be but the Sect Master of Nanyang!

The friend from East Dragon Palace turned out to be Sect Master Shen.

She just couldn’t figure out how Sect Master Shen, having left Southern Hong for the first time, had gotten involved with the Lord of Eastern Hong.

"In any case, it’s always good to have him back."

The Yunhe Sect Master shook his head, knowing that cultivators who dared to venture out all had their own means of protecting themselves.

After speaking, his expression became a bit more serious, "However, the Fairy mentioned the Ten Thousand Demon Hall in her letter, and coincidentally, I intercepted a message a few days ago, tracing it back to its origin, it came from Southern Hong. I wonder if there’s any connection between the two."

The Yunhe Sect Master took out a letter from his sleeve, unfolded it, and handed it to Fairy Zi Lan.

There were only two words in the letter.

"Come quickly."

At the end of the handwriting was a cryptic symbol, flickering with a gleaming light.

Fairy Zi Lan furrowed her brows and looked at it for a moment, yet she still had no clue.

At that moment, the ever-silent Shen Yi finally extended his hand, "May I have a look?"

"You’re familiar with this, Daoist Shen?" Zi Lan was taken aback, passing the letter to him. After a moment, she curiously asked, "What does it mean?"

"I’m not quite sure." Shen Yi’s gaze was slightly cold, his expression as usual, as he returned the letter to her and then nodded politely, "I still have urgent matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now."

Having said that, he turned around and transformed into a purple and white long rainbow, disappearing into the horizon.

"..."

Fairy Zi Lan’s face froze slightly, and she finally couldn’t help but stamp her foot, almost laughing out of irritation, "This eccentric, he hasn’t a single truth in his mouth, as if someone were out to get him."

"Good riddance, as I never trusted him anyway." Yue Tiance raised an eyebrow.

Above the clouds, Lin You’s expression suddenly became much more solemn.

The letter from Southern Hong, coupled with Sect Master Shen’s crisp departure, could it be that something had happened at home?

Just then, Luo Changchun’s slightly stammering voice broke her train of thought, "Did you feel that..."

"What?" Lin You turned her eyes towards him.

Luo Changchun swallowed his dry throat, as he had been slightly jealous because Miss Lin had been watching that young man. Therefore, he had paid him a little extra attention.

Yet, just as Shen Yi was turning around, he spotted the coldness in his eyes and the tall silhouette that emanated an intense sense of familiarity.

"Did that man just now look like the one we saw at the Dragon Consort’s birthday feast?"

"..."

Lin You stared blankly at the sky. While those dark robes without any identifiers were common, those equally powerful and unencumbered... seemed not so many.

Especially since the timing of that man’s intervention was exactly when she was confronting the Bright Moon Frost Tiger.

Could it be that Sect Master Shen had been secretly protecting them all along?

"If it really was him, then I believe he could have escaped from the claws of a Unity Realm Stage Great Demon." Luo Changchun chuckled bitterly, aware that not everyone could be so audacious.
