Chapter 791: Chapter 568: Taking Care of You, Then Returning to Southern Hong_2

"The current situation in Hongze?" Ji Jingxi sensed something amiss.

"We are undertaking a significant matter," Zi Xian raised an eyebrow, her voice light and half-joking.

But this was also her genuine sentiment, the schemes of the East Dragon Palace were progressing smoothly; as long as no one meddled, the rest could simply be left to time.

Before Ji Jingxi could ask further, Zi Xian immediately changed the subject, glancing towards the distant, closed-eyed and meditating Shen Yi: "Tsk, has he always been like this?"

Ever since entering Mount Yu, Shen Yi had been in constant contemplation and meditation.

For a cultivator of such a realm, rest wasn’t necessary; most of their time was spent in understanding cultivation techniques... Yet the situation differed, and it was first time Zi Xian had seen someone who utterly refused to squander time, wishing to utilize every moment for cultivation.

Moreover, they were discussing the Ten Thousand Demon Hall. Offending such a ferocious entity, yet that Shen lad could remain so composed, with a detached demeanor as if it were none of his concern.

"I don’t understand him very well either."

Ji Jingxi also looked over, her gaze lingering on Shen Yi for a brief moment before she sighed softly.

Their Sect Master Shen, though appearing much younger than Hong Xiu, Yuanzhou, and other Daozi, had already taken on the duties of leading a sect, bearing the lives of countless treasured beings. It was reassuring, yet it also signified the irresponsibility of her own junior siblings.

Just then, another demon soldier waited outside the door and, upon receiving permission, used demonic power to send in a jade slip.

Zi Xian took it and hummed lightly, "What sort of mischief is this Seventh Master up to now? Isn’t he content with staying quietly in his treasured hall; wasn’t the last lesson severe enough?"

"Forget it, if it’s related to Southern Hong, I’ll tell you about it later," Zi Xian said.

"Thank you," Ji Jingxi nodded her head in gratitude.

Meanwhile, the two of them didn’t notice that Shen Yi off to the side had finally opened his eyes.

Bored of staying in Mount Yu, without Yue Tianji and Ke Shisan beside him, and knowing that forcibly deducing cultivation techniques was a mere waste of lifespan, he could only use a bit of his demon lifespan to familiarize himself with the newly mastered Immortal Law.

Although there was an abundance of news from Mount Yu, only a scant amount was useful to Shen Yi.

It was those few Sub-hall Masters who were busy with matters—the very reason he stayed there, to clear himself of suspicion.

He also took the opportunity to allow his strongest supporter, the little Tiger Demon, to recuperate a bit.

Moreover, just sitting there brought a significant surge in his Demon Lifespan, which was actually quite pleasant.

[Remaining Demon Lifespan: Two hundred sixty-seven million years]

The reason why Ke Shisan and the others had made such a grand display this time was part of Shen Yi’s own considerations.

After all, one must eat one’s meal one bite at a time, and the matter of the Southern Dragon Palace was urgent and had to be resolved first.

It would not only boost Ke Shisan’s strength but also alleviate some future worries.

Only then did Shen Yi have enough energy to face the enemies of Northern Hong, not being able to rely on Quantum Dao Imperial Sect and the Yue Family remaining unresponsive.

And besides, the Ten Thousand Demon Hall was already suppressed upon the Southern Dragon Palace.

The South Dragon King had shown reactions last time, and Shen Yi also worried that the other party would report the matter to the Immortals. If he could find an opportunity to eliminate the Dragon King and discover how to mend the flaw in the great seal, he could then take control of the entire South Flood Land.

This was definitely a killer move.

Apart from the Immortals, probably no one in Hongze could withstand such an immense aura of heaven and earth.

Of course, there was a high probability that this could only be used once before being discovered by the Immortals, subsequently losing any chance to hide. But while Shen Yi could choose not to use it, he still wanted to grasp it as much as possible.

Should he return to Southern Hong to confront the Dragon Palace with all his might,

Shen Yi did not wish for other forces to interfere and cause complications at such a time.

Therefore, he allowed the few Sub-hall Masters to be slightly ostentatious, establishing the non-existent reputation of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, drawing the attention of many forces in Western Hong, as well as the enemies from Northern Hong.

He would let them investigate, let them be wary...

Once he had dealt with the matter in Southern Hong, he would consider the rest.

Aside from anything else, the strongest power in Western Hong was the Western Dragon Palace—Shen Yi was precisely clueless about how to get the Town Stone entangled with them, but now, the opportunity had presented itself.

The information An Yi got from the Green Phoenix was that

An Tingfeng had been working with the Glazed Green Phoenix Clan all thanks to Qi Family’s Seventh Prince, who was mediating. Now that the latter had taken action, he must have been stimulated upon receiving the news and seeing the ostentatious display of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall.

If he had not guessed wrong, the other party would probably make a trip to Wanxiang Pavilion—let’s not forget that Elder Liu was still there, with only Wu Jun of White Jade Capital protecting it.

Thinking this, Shen Yi composed his mind and began calling back the few Sub-hall Masters.

Several days later,

he finally stood up, and in the astonished gaze of the two women, he said politely, "I’m a bit weary; I’ll go for a walk."

"At this time? Have you gone mad?"

Zi Xian was confident, but not conceited. She could forcibly protect the Sect Master of Nanyang from the hands of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, provided it was within the waters of Mount Yu, inside the Western Dragon Palace. If the Ten Thousand Demon Hall truly dared to attack, that would mean an assault on Mount Yu or even on the Western Dragon Palace, forcing all dragon offspring, regardless of their intentions, to come forward and assist.

If the other party carelessly wandered outside, that would be a completely different matter.

Ji Jingxi fell silent for a moment, raised her hand to stop Zi Xian from continuing, and said softly and gently, "Don’t go too far, come back early, we’ll be somewhat worried."

The actions of Sect Master Shen had never let anyone down.

Although the other party had not yet reached the Heaven Realm, they were not a junior in need of protection, but a Sect Master of Nanyang with meticulous thoughts, not at all inferior to her own and others.

"Don’t worry, it won’t take long."

Shen Yi nodded lightly and vanished from Mount Yu.

It was just to give Yu Lan another boost, which wouldn’t take much time.

After leaving the waters.

Three streaks of light skimmed from the sky, entered Shen Yi’s forehead, and returned him to his throne in the Ten Thousand Demon Hall.

At the same time, he received back a finger ring, filled to the brim with his spoils.

Inside it, almost all members of the Green Phoenix Clan with a cultivation above White Jade Capital lay prostrate, and at first glance, their number had already surpassed thirty.

Among them were even two old demons at the Unity Realm Stage, whose cultivation was not far from that of the clan leader.

An Yi didn’t even need to make a move; with just these three Hall Masters, they had managed to obliterate a demon race force larger than the Ban Shan Sect in a short time with decisive and efficient action.

No wonder numerous cultivators in Western Hong were feeling panic.

Shen Yi didn’t dawdle; once An Yi confirmed no one else was lurking around, he directly transformed all the demon phoenix corpses into a river of blood that he poured into his forehead.

"..."

Ke Shisan and Yue Tianji sat on their thrones, seemingly imposing, but in reality, their fingertips were trembling.

Both of them had backgrounds and talents far superior to Yu Lan’s. When the two of them were at the Union Dao Stage, this South Hall Master only had a White Jade Capital cultivation.

Yet because her clanspeople were more sensible—no, not even her clanspeople, she nearly forgot, this woman was essentially a Xuan Feng—she was now surpassing both of them, about to ascend to that unreachable realm.

Indeed.

As the blood river merged back into Yu Lan’s body.

Her voluptuous body clung tightly to the throne, her fair neck trembling slightly, but her slender eyes were filled with an intense fervor that almost seemed to spill out.

Her boundary swelled like bamboo segments until her body gradually turned ashen.

A fresh aura violently spread throughout the Ten Thousand Demon Hall!

Shen Yi skillfully gathered Demon Origin and fed it nearly twenty more pieces, finally reviving the West Hall Master once again.

[Union Dao (Spirit): Red-Eyed Mysterious Phoenix]

Looking at the prompt on the panel, Shen Yi felt somewhat emotional. Perhaps because An Yi’s arrival had been too easy, he thought that with so much Demon Origin, he could elevate Yu Lan to the Immortal level.

"My lord..."

Yu Lan’s voice was hoarse, as if scorched by the heart’s fire. She looked out from her sea of consciousness, her eyes full of reverence and gratitude.

"You all go to the Wanxiang Pavilion first," Shen Yi said as he turned around, his gaze serene as a still well, and quickly retracted his eyes, speaking softly, "Keep it clean."

If there were others present who happened to know about this, they would undoubtedly be frightened to numbness.

In the waters and lands of Western Hong, someone could so casually... sentence a Dragon Prince to death.

"I shall follow my lord’s imperial edict!"

Having followed Shen Yi for so long, Ke Shisan knew exactly what this meant. Keep it clean, meant not leaving a single one behind.

If it weren’t for the other Hall Masters being present, he would have almost wanted to cry.

As one of the five major Hall Masters, the first to transcend tribulation successfully, it was finally... finally his turn.

The uncles of the Western Dragon Palace, Thirteen has missed you to death!!

As Shen Yi turned and made his way back towards the waters.

Including An Yi, the figures enshrouded in dark golden robes all bowed respectfully and then vanished at the edge of the sky.
