Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 784 - 566: The First Encounter in Heaven Realm

Chapter 784: Chapter 566: The First Encounter in Heaven Realm

Deng Xiangjun knew that his junior apprentice-sister Jingxi must have many confusions, but he was no different.

He quickly retracted the Qingyue Treasure Ship and, with Su Hongxiu, landed near the young man reeking of Monster Blood.

"Are you alright?"

"I’m fine."

Shen Yi opened his eyes and looked sideways.

He stayed here partly to wait for this Sect Master of Unparalleled Sect to avoid any wild speculations leading to complications.

Seeing that Shen Yi’s demeanor was normal, he seemed to be in no serious trouble.

Deng Xiangjun let out a sigh of relief in his heart and casually attempted to ease the atmosphere with a wry smile, "It seems that every time I see you, things are like this."

Beneath their feet were dried stains of blood, as well as the junior members of the Yue Family from the last encounter in the Immortal’s Cave, and even at the Seven Sons Grand Assembly, he had personally beheaded Liu Xingshan of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

This Sect Master Shen seemed to be born under a murderous star, wherever he went, his hands were stained with fresh blood.

"Can you tell me what exactly happened?"

Deng Xiangjun, with Su Hongxiu, approached Shen Yi and crouched beside him, maintaining an equal height with him.

"It should be considered a bit of a personal grudge."

Shen Yi pondered for a moment, not revealing too much in his words.

After all, the matter involved An Yi, and this spiritual Town Stone had once acted in the capacity of the Hall Master of Ten Thousand Demon Hall and would likely use that identity again in the future. Although his robe concealed his features, it wasn’t entirely foolproof.

If it wasn’t necessary, Shen Yi didn’t want to entangle the Seven Sons of Hong with the Ten Thousand Demon Hall.

The cultivators and demon race who had made a name for themselves in Hongze weren’t all fools; even a small Immortal Sect like Wanxiang Pavilion could deduce much from hints and clues.

The incident with An Tingfeng was a lesson for Shen Yi.

"A personal grudge?"

Deng Xiangjun felt the blood scent on Sect Master Shen and his smile contained a bit of strain.

What kind of small grudge could lead to a life-and-death situation?

It should be known that as their Boundary rose higher, it was normal for both cultivators and demons to become increasingly fond of their own lives.

"With whom? An Tingfeng?"

Deng Xiangjun looked over tentatively, hoping to get a different answer from Shen Yi than Su Hongxiu... otherwise, it would confirm that what Su Hongxiu inadvertently hinted at was true.

However, he saw the young man in front of him nod lightly: "Yes."

"..."

On the Floating Island, Deng Xiangjun suddenly fell silent and then began to scrutinize the young man anew, his gaze intensely serious, from Shen Yi’s face down to the tips of his shoes, not missing any detail.

Even Shen Yi felt a hint of confusion surge in his eyes, eyebrows raised as he looked back in response.

He then took a deep breath, as if seeing the Sect Master of Nanyang anew.

Although Deng Xiangjun was unfamiliar with the Fierce Tiger, he had heard a bit about its reputation.

An Tingfeng was still young among the demons, perhaps leading to a lack of deep foundations, but his talent and bloodline were genuine, and his Boundary was without doubt solid.

To dispatch such a Great Demon so casually!

After the killing, he was even unharmed; though the young man was covered in blood, Deng Xiangjun observed that none of it seemed to be his own.

To achieve such a feat, Sect Master Shen’s strength must have far surpassed what these old ones had anticipated!

"I see."

Deng Xiangjun’s thoughts drifted as he glanced southward; that treasure land had so quietly merged with the man before him, so fast that outsiders didn’t even have time to notice, like old friends reuniting.

When something becomes so absurd that it can no longer be explained by common sense,

Deng Xiangjun suddenly felt that he could accept anything, and that nothing should be able to unsettle him again.

He looked away, his tone much more casual, "So, how many weapons did you secure? Four? "

"Five."

Shen Yi’s reply was as calm as his earlier affirmation.

The act of Union Dao had been witnessed by all living beings within the Nanyang Treasure Land; it couldn’t be hidden, and besides, he had never intended to conceal it from the South Hong Seven Sons.

Boom!

Deng Xiangjun, who had been crouching, suddenly fell seated on the ground, gazing blankly at Su Hongxiu as if to confirm that he hadn’t misheard—far from the demeanor of a Sect Master.

"..."

Su Hongxiu hurriedly extended a hand to help him up, but her heart was equally turbulent with shock.

She certainly understood why her uncle-master Deng was so taken aback.

Even if one more Heaven Realm powerhouse joined the Seven Sons of Hong, it wouldn’t shock him so much.

Because opening Five Cities and traversing the five calamities of birth, aging, sickness, death, and suffering was something that had never happened in Hongze before!

"Phew."

Deng Xiangjun wiped his forehead with his sleeve, and after confirming that Shen Yi wasn’t mocking him, he sat there in thought for a while and finally shook his head, deciding not to dwell on this terrifying fact.

If he thought about it any longer, he feared he would fall into delusion.

"Actually—"

Deng Xiangjun looked up, choosing his words carefully, "You are from Nanyang, so you might find it strange and think that we are deceiving you, but...

"The unity in life and death is real."

"Of course, when... Teacher Qin had an accident, the fact that we didn’t intervene is also true, perhaps because the Dragon King was there to restrain us, but it certainly had to do with our own cowardice.

"After all, that was an Immortal, an Immortal who had never taken action before."

To this day, those in Hongze who had seen the Immortal take action were only the two disciples of Nanyang; and the only one still living was keeping silent about the previous incident.

Even before the Immortal made a move,

Most cultivators at the Unity Realm Stage thought that this celestially sourced person was similar to themselves, merely luckier or with a stronger background, blessed with Immortal Emolument.
