Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 855 - 591: The Sudden Turnaround_2

Chapter 855: Chapter 591: The Sudden Turnaround_2

After all, not everything in this world demands a conclusion.

Now, a different thought suddenly arises.

Judging by Sect Master Shen’s performance, if his disciple truly had a chance to make even brief contact with the other party, and thus became entrapped, the disciple’s end would likely be many times more tragic than his own as a master.

For those beings that are hopeful yet out of reach, the best choice is... not to hope at all.

"Shen Yi has urgent matters to attend to, and thus, must take his leave."

After collecting the corpse of the Jade Horned Silver Dragon, Shen Yi bowed to the Treasure Flower Sect Master and said farewell. He then summoned a black cloud and disappeared into the sky.

After all, when he left, he hadn’t made it clear to Senior Deng, and the fall of a being from the Heaven Realm would emit a hint of an aura fluctuation that could be hard to conceal. He did not wish the Sect Masters of the Alliance Sect to worry too much; it would be better to return sooner.

"Sect Master Shen, rest assured, we will definitely not let this news spread beyond Southern Hong."

The three people bowed in unison and saw Shen Yi off.

Then they looked at each other and saw the complexity in each other’s eyes. They were so profoundly shocked that they had become somewhat numb. Wanting to say something, none knew where to begin.

But one thing was certain.

Southern Hong was about to undergo a drastic change.

...

Southern Hong Seven Sects.

Under the watchful eyes of several brothers, Deng Xiangjun hung his head in shame.

The so-called ignorant on three counts.

Where had Sect Master Shen gone, what had he done, when would he return?

Faced with these questions, he opened his mouth but could not utter a single word.

"You were sent to find Shen Yi, and you brought back his Dao Plate?"

Ye Jiu’s eyes twitched a few times, his breath caught in his chest, nearly suffocating with frustration.

"This matter can’t be blamed on Brother Deng. Sect Master Shen is just like this. He has his own plans."

Ji Jingxi, though similarly worried, had been to Western Hong with Shen Yi and had some understanding of this young Sect Master.

"I cannot hold him back, nor can I catch up with him, I... I..."

Seeing that finally someone understood him, Deng Xiangjun finally showed a hint of grievance.

"Am I blaming him?"

Ye Jiu waved his sleeve robe in irritation: "Those slippery eels are not here right now, who knows if they’re lying in wait for Shen Yi? We don’t even have a direction to search for him!"

They had also heard the long chant from the South Dragon King earlier. The mood of this old eel was clearly abnormal.

Ye Jiu wasn’t doubting Shen Yi’s strength, but...

"Now that we’ve torn face, what dirty tricks won’t they use?"

"Hush."

Qi Yansheng suddenly lifted his head and silenced the others with his hand.

Frowning, he stared at the sky, watching as a red glow rapidly spread, like a line connecting heaven and earth, tinting the entire Sky Curtain a pale red.

Seeing this, everyone fell silent.

As the Sect Masters of the Seven Sons of Hong, they had seen everything. A sight like this was easily recognizable to them.

But it was precisely because they recognized it that they stood frozen in place.

The aura of a Heaven Realm powerhouse was too rich, their fall would return this essence to the heavens and earth, causing various phenomena—scenes rare to witness even once in tens of thousands of years in all of Hongze.

But in this remote Southern Hong, they had seen it twice in just a few days.

In these waters and lands, there were very few who could contend with those from the Heaven Realm.

And there was one existence, who "coincidentally" was always out on business whenever these phenomena occurred.

Ye Jiu turned his head, his gaze numbly sweeping over his fellow masters: "It’s him again?"

Before the others could respond.

He continued: "Who died this time?"

Ji Jingxi pursed her lips. The answer was already apparent. If the South Dragon King had fallen, the commotion would be far greater. That left only the Ke Family Crown Prince or Qi Zhaoyi... or possibly both together.

When that last thought surfaced in her mind.

Ji Jingxi herself was startled. It seemed that as long as it involved Shen Yi, she felt anything was possible, no matter how ridiculous the idea of single-handedly killing two Mid Heavenly Realm Dragon Demons...

"Follow me!"

Ye Jiu summoned the Flowing Light Treasure Sword and his figure swiftly dashed forward.

"Where to?" Deng Xiangjun instinctively asked.

But saw the other party glance back at him disdainfully, gritting his teeth: "To greet our Grand Sect Master Shen."

Ye Jiu truly couldn’t understand, in Shen Yi’s eyes, what they all amounted to.

He was the one with the Seven Sons Sword; this was what he was supposed to do. What Shen Yi should be doing is providing support from the rear, coordinating the bigger picture, and serving as everyone’s anchor of assurance.

He was the trump card of the Seven Sons of Hong, someone who shouldn’t meet with any accidents!

Unless Shen Yi never regarded himself as part of the Seven Sects, or perhaps, deep down, he never took them seriously, seeing them merely as expendable allies.

"..."

Ji Jingxi noticed Ye Jiu’s dissatisfaction but did not say anything to console him. All she wanted was to find Shen Yi as soon as possible to learn what had happened to him.

All six Sect Masters set out together, moving powerfully toward their destination.

However, they didn’t go far from the Sect before Ye Jiu ceased the action of his sword and looked into the distance.

In the sky above the waters, a bloodstained figure stood with his hands down, silently staring down at the water below, his gaze penetrating as if he could see through the endless waves, directly into the depths of the Southern Hong, the Dragon Cave where the South Dragon King resided.

Perhaps it was a similarity in temperament.

With just one glance, Ye Jiu saw through Shen Yi’s thoughts.

This kid... truly killed the Ke Family Crown Prince. He’s pondering whether the South Dragon King, in a rage over the fall of his eldest son, might impulsively leave his Dragon Cave for a final battle.
