Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 798 - 571: Who ate the pie drawn by Boss Qi?

Chapter 798: Chapter 571: Who ate the pie drawn by Boss Qi?

"What is happening?"

Riding the clouds into the sky, Ji Jingxi felt the strong surges of the heaven and earth’s aura, looking around in some surprise.

Being of the same Heaven Realm cultivation, she and Zi Xian had sensed something off early on, but in such a short time, the change in the aura had reached a level that shook the entirety of Western Hong. This was not merely a matter of Heaven Realm experts clashing.

They were fighting desperately!

That much was obvious, of course, and not what Ji Jingxi really wanted to ask. What she wanted to know were the reasons, and who the parties involved were.

After all, cultivators are also human; nothing comes from nothing. To achieve something in their realm, they unavoidably consume massive amounts of Heaven and Earth Treasures to transform into their own majestic power.

This also means, especially for Heaven Realm experts, that behind each of them stands a huge and well-organized force, along with countless vassals providing support.

Every move they made had to consider the life and death of these supporters.

Careless and reckless individuals rarely received support, similar to the many tests Immortal Sects posed for Daozi, where one must first prove they are capable of taking responsibility for the lives and spirits of a sacred land, in order to truly take over that territory.

People like Li Xuanqing were ultimately in the minority.

Thus, a fight to the death between two Heaven Realm experts must involve irreconcilable differences that had reached a breaking point. It was never without warning.

"..."

However, at this moment, facing Ji Jingxi’s question, Zi Xian’s face was full of confusion.

She had gathered nearly seventy percent of Western Hong’s news, yet she had never seen any signs of such a "conflict".

Moreover, based on the aura.

One of the parties was Qi Zhaoyang, the fourth prince of the Western Dragon Palace.

With his uncontentious demeanor, maintaining his own territory plus his respectable strength—somewhat transcendent from worldly matters—how could he be involved in such substantial grievances with someone?

"No, I have to go see."

Zi Xian quickly took out a conch shell; although her expression remained unchanged, Ji Jingxi could still detect a rare panic in her voice.

"..."

Ji Jingxi sighed slightly, vaguely understanding what the situation was.

Although she was unclear about East Dragon Palace’s goals, the East Dragon King dispatching Zi Xian here must definitely want to take control of the Western Dragon Palace.

The Heaven Realm experts of Western Hong, a good number were these dragon sons; she guessed that today’s altercation involved one of them.

If a dragon son did fall today, the Western Dragon King would likely awaken and take control of Western Hong affairs again, at least to avenge his son.

This meant that all the efforts Zi Xian had made could be for naught.

The South Hong Seven Sons had few reliable supports in Western Hong; Zi Xian was certainly one. If the territory she had hardly gathered was taken back by the Western Dragon King, the Seven Sons would then really have no means of gathering information in Western Hong.

"Let’s go together. I’ll feel more at ease with you by my side,"

Ji Jingxi turned to Shen Yi, although it was a usual day, involving a skirmish between Heaven Realm experts, she couldn’t help but revert to the demeanor of an elder caring for a younger one.

"Alright,"

Shen Yi nodded slightly and glanced at the many prompts appearing on the panel, his eyes finally resting on the most conspicuous one:

[Slaughtered Heaven Realm Jade Horned Silver Dragon, total lifespan 710,000 years, remaining lifespan 320,000 years, absorption complete]

Nearly thirty panel prompts, at his departure from Western Hong, allowed his foundation to climb to a new peak.

[Remaining Demon Lifespan: 5,010,000 years]

Indeed, all of them were elite under the dragon sons.

Setting aside the previous 2,600,000 years, just this wave alone matched the entire Glazed Green Phoenix clan.

With such a fortune at hand, once the Sub-hall Masters returned, Shen Yi’s confidence in returning to South Hong would be significantly bolstered.

The only disappointment was that the panel still showed no new items... Could it be that the seal missing from the throne in Ten Thousand Demon Hall when it enveloped the Southern Dragon Palace wasn’t gathered from Demon Lifespan?

Or could it be that such a terrifying amount of Demon Lifespan is still not enough to gather that small seal.

If it’s the latter... even Shen Yi couldn’t help but feel a sinking sensation.

Throughout Hongze, how many could compare to clans like the Glazed Green Phoenix and the Frost Tiger? Initially feeling immensely wealthy, the demanded Demon Lifespan under this frightening condition now seemed somewhat strained.

Even if he could gather that much, could the Immortals just blindly watch him empty their Hongze?

"Huh,"

Shen Yi recalibrated his emotions, focusing on the matter at hand.

He had indeed killed two Jade Horned Silver Dragons, but he couldn’t be careless with the wrap-up; having a lot of Demon Lifespan was useless without a life to spend it.

With this thought, he focused his gaze on Zi Xian ahead.

At this moment, the famous Mount Yu Dragon Consort was orchestrating her forces with a grave expression. Beneath the seemingly calm waters, in just a short time, most of the Western Dragon Palace’s operatives were mobilized.

The vast Western Hong territory combined with the expansive aura cover from the Heaven Realm experts made pinpointing the exact location swiftly no easy task.

Even with Zi Xian’s control over Western Hong, a hint of urgency surfaced in her eyes.

"..."

Shen Yi slightly raised his eyebrows and looked toward the sky as his aura abruptly grew sharper.

Seeing this, the two women were slightly taken aback and followed his gaze.

Their pupils then shrunk.

Swooping across the sky were four dark streaks of light, leisurely moving towards the north.
