Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 783: Chapter 565: Even Now_3

Several Sub-hall Masters conversed among themselves.

Shen Yi took a moment to assess An Yi’s current strength and was about to condense the Demon Origin when he suddenly noticed the young girl blink.

He fell silent for an instant, "How do you feel?"

"A little uncomfortable... but it’s okay," An Yi closed her eyes to experience the feeling for a moment before responding seriously.

"..."

Hearing the familiar response, Shen Yi directly closed the panel.

He came to realize that when the Sub-hall Master from the West Hall mentioned feeling "uncomfortable," it did not mean the same thing as it did for the other hall masters. It was likely that she simply wasn’t used to this unfamiliar power, rather than the Demon Soul being unable to withstand the Boundary of the Town Stone.

One had to admit, the East Dragon Palace was quite generous to have nurtured a Remnant Soul to such an extent forcibly.

It was also, no doubt, an attempt to win over An Tingfeng.

"Go, slaughter those azure phoenixes and find out what exactly is going on," he ordered.

Shen Yi had not forgotten how An Tingfeng had found them, and now that he had arrived, he might as well not leave.

"As you command."

An Yi grew accustomed to her new body before her figure gradually vanished from the spot.

Shen Yi sat in place, starting to regulate his breathing, taking the opportunity to dispel fatigue and to also further deduce a couple of Immortal Laws.

...

The boundary of Western Hong.

A man dressed neatly, his sleeves so finely pleated they matched on both sides, rode the clouds towards his destination.

It was none other than the Sect Master of Unparalleled Sect, the one who had arranged the stones neatly under the big tree after the Seven Sons Grand Assembly had ended.

Deng Xiangjun was hurrying to the agreed place.

Suddenly, he lifted his gaze slightly, his keen senses catching a familiar presence.

His expression immediately became grave as he raised his palm and the clouds beneath his feet churned violently; within a few breaths, they had brought him down onto a damaged Treasure Ship.

"Didn’t I tell you to wait for me in Western Hong? Why did you come here on your own?"

Deng Xiangjun frowned as he glanced at the ship’s body, soon spotting his own Daozi, all of whom looked anxious, even Wei Yuanzhou and Zhong Xiu had lost their usual composure, breathing erratically and quickly.

He quickly realized something was amiss, "Where is Shen Yi?!"

Su Hongxiu’s lips were cracked, and finally, she let go of Bai Wu, the concern on her face not diminishing upon seeing Deng Xiangjun, "Deng Instructor, we were ambushed by Frost Tiger Clan Leader An Tingfeng on the road. Sect Master Shen stayed behind alone to hold the enemy back. We have already sent a message to Instructor Ji, please hurry to support!"

The Daozi said nothing.

But anyone could see what they were thinking in their hearts.

It had been so long, and rather than support, it was more like going...

"There’s still time!"

Su Hongxiu rarely roared out loud, "Before I left, I saw Sect Master Shen exchange a blow with An Tingfeng and did not fall short!"

Hearing this seemingly fanciful tale,

Deng Xiangjun did not utter another question; he smoothly took over the control of the Treasure Ship and sent the group of Daozi and everyone from Yunhe Sect off the ship, pouring the full aura of the Unity Realm Stage into the Treasure Ship.

As the Treasure Ship sped away, Su Hongxiu gritted her teeth, striving to catch up, holding something in her hand.

Deng Xiangjun sighed and brought the other person onto the ship before disappearing again at the original spot.

"This is the magic treasure Bai Wu uses to contact Uncle Master Ji, nurtured with breath energy for many years, and it works even better than a Dao Plate." Su Hongxiu, gasping for breath, handed over the jade plate.

"The tiger was so ferociously evil?"

Deng Xiangjun casually put away the jade plate, looking straight ahead without giving anything else a sideways glance.

With Su Hongxiu’s intelligence, she should have realized that these few people were somewhat different from the usual Earth Realm cultivators.

Yet even so, she still felt that it was more reliable for Ji Jingxi to handle this matter.

"My premonitions... are usually very accurate." Su Hongxiu stood by her viewpoint.

"If I remember correctly, you just said Sect Master Shen exchanged a palm strike with him?" Deng Xiangjun cast a sidelong glance at her. Perhaps because she was too flustered, Hong Xiu didn’t realize that her words hid an incredibly horrifying fact.

Hearing this, Su Hongxiu also froze in place.

In her instinctive reaction, she had come to feel that Shen Yi’s strength had surpassed that of Elder Deng.

"Let’s go take a look first."

Deng Xiangjun withdrew her gaze, a hint of ferocity flashing in her pupils.

Shen Yi... was a loss that the current South Hong Seven Sons absolutely could not afford.

They had even offended the Yue Family of Northern Hong without hesitation just because of him!

Under the blessing of the aura of a Unity Realm Stage giant, the treasure ship erupted with unprecedented speed, to the extent that the already damaged hull showed a trend of falling apart completely.

However, the moment they approached the agreed location, the entire ship suddenly came to a halt.

Su Hongxiu looked up in confusion.

But she saw Elder Deng frown at the bow of the ship, looking down, then at herself, seemingly quite perplexed.

"..."

Su Hongxiu quickly stepped to her side, but once she saw the situation below, she was thunderstruck and stood motionless.

There was only a solitary figure sitting cross-legged above the Floating Island, quiet and still.

His body, dyed in blood, his dark robe fluttering, emitted a horrifyingly fierce aura.

There was not a single living creature around, nor was there a Perfection Earth Realm Great Demon, only the dried, reddish-black bloodstains on the ground proving that a violent killing had taken place here not long ago.

"Are you sure the person you encountered was An Tingfeng?" Deng Xiangjun raised her eyebrows helplessly.

Considering the distance from here to where they had met the others earlier, as well as the degree to which the bloodstains had dried, the battle had not even lasted longer than the time it takes an incense stick to burn.

Calling it a one-sided slaughter wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

Su Hongxiu stood dazedly at the bow, as one of the Daozi who knew Shen Yi the earliest, she had personally witnessed his transformations time after time.

And precisely because she was familiar, she felt even more so that this Sect Master Shen was so unfamiliar... It might sound strange, but it was Su Hongxiu’s most sincere thought; she was increasingly unable to comprehend him.

"It’s okay now, Shen Yi is very safe."

Deng Xiangjun took out the jade plate and transmitted a message to Ji Jingxi.

It sounded somewhat perfunctory.

But he wasn’t quite clear about what had happened either, so naturally, he couldn’t explain it more clearly.
