Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 873 - 599

Chapter 873: Chapter 599

Azure Sky, serene and tranquil,

Only a light rain fell, sprinkled amid the faint roar of a dragon, blanketing the South Flood Land.

From the Treasure Flower Sect, situated at the intersection of Western Hong and Southern Hong, all the way to the borderlands of the Seven Immortal Sects, everyone saw this rain.

Not long ago, the cultivators and all creatures felt uneasy after witnessing an enormous Yellow Poison Dragon tumbling and fighting in the clouds, and now they were all staring blankly at the sky.

"Gulp."

The two sect masters from Ban Shan Sect stood shoulder to shoulder, the slightly younger one turned his head, opened his mouth, but didn’t know what to say.

Old Huang fell silent for a long time before suddenly gripping the other’s arm and declared in a stern voice, "Seal off Southern Hong!"

It was too absurd.

He had been ready to partake in a fierce battle, as no cultivator had ever tried to truly destroy a Dragon Palace since the existence of Hongze.

To survive under the hands of the Dragon Race was already great, and if one could live with a bit of dignity, it would demonstrate their formidable strength.

Even the Infinite Dao Emperor Sect could only just barely contend with the Northern Dragon Palace.

Such as the South Hong Seven Sons, who managed to suppress the Southern Dragon Palace and briefly hold a dominant position, that was a singular example throughout all of the Four Hongs.

But Sect Master Huang never thought that this war, which might have spread to both Western Hong and Southern Hong, would be over before it had even started.

Once the Southern Hong Seven Sects were ready to take action, what seemed like the Southern Dragon Palace capable of standing equal to the Seven Sects, didn’t have the slightest ability to fight back and was ruthlessly slaughtered to near extinction.

It gave him an unreal sense of awakening from a dream.

So the reason Sect Master Shen arranged for him and another to wait at the Treasure Flower Sect... was because the location of Ban Shan Sect and Treasure Flower Sect was just right to completely seal off what happened in Southern Hong, without letting it leak out.

"Treasure Flower Sect Master, thank you for your efforts."

The two Ban Shan Sect Masters quickly bowed to the elderly lady.

"I understand," the Treasure Flower Sect Master said gently, patting her disciple’s shoulder as if to soothe, but also to conceal the shock that lingered in her own eyes.

Only someone like her, deeply knowledgeable of the Seven Sects’ elders, would understand that the event of this day was definitely not something those elders could have accomplished; this decisive and swift manner of acting was not in line with the character of the Ling Yue Sect Master.

This also explained why the Seven Sects didn’t communicate with the Treasure Flower Sect before taking action.

And among those who fought against the South Dragon King in the clouds, there was only that figure in a black robe.

"Sect Master Shen..."

The Treasure Flower Sect Master looked towards the Seven Sects with reverence.

In her heart, a rumor emerged that she once heard while chatting with Xuan Qing; it was said when Sect Master Shen first left Nanyang Treasure Land, he was covered in Monster Blood, and those who followed him, despite their low cultivations due to various reasons, each carried the demeanor of outstanding individuals.

Yet, these people revered him as if he were an Immortal God.

Only after experiencing a similar situation did the Treasure Flower Sect Master understand how those people felt.

After the Seven Sons Grand Assembly ended, under her and Xuan Qing’s supervision, Sect Master Shen had rested for a day. At that time, she felt it somewhat amusing that this young cultivator, who had yet to reach the Unity Realm Stage, was so deeply troubled.

Now she knew what terrifying things he had been keeping to himself.

Was it only such an existence that could avenge the tragedy in Nanyang, resulting from the incident with Xuan Qing?

...

The desolate White Jade Dragon Pillar, guarding a Nanyang Great Sun,

On the broad and even Guest Welcoming Platform, where only a wooden figure sat in meditation for a hundred thousand years, although it had become busier now, the Nanyang Sect’s weak foundation meant they couldn’t involve themselves in too much, and with the recent tension in Southern Hong, it has been just a few passerby shadows seen occasionally.

But today was different.

All disciples from the Seven Immortal Sects poured out; even the Qi-Training Realm disciples from the Outer Sect rushed curiously toward the Array, not to mention all the Great Elders and stewards.

In a short time, it was a sea of people, bustling and vast, with all kinds of Precious Tools soaring in the sky and numerous figures dotting the landscape.

And what brought them all here was merely this seemingly ordinary light rain and the sudden dragon’s roar from before.

"It’s a bit... too sudden," said Liu Shiqian, who stood calmly in front of the crowd, one of the most composed among them, and the only Unity Realm Stage cultivator besides the Seven Sect Masters.

Nevertheless, his slender figure wrapped in a long robe was still trembling slightly.

"I thought you would be used to it by now," a humble voice suddenly rang beside Liu Shiqian’s ear. He glanced sideways, somewhat surprised at the person who spoke.

This proud Daozi of the Heavenly Sword Sect was even using respectful language with him.

Su Hongxiu replied with a complex smile, "After all... if not for you, Sect Master Shen’s impression of us would likely be extremely poor."

The Dragon King was gravely injured and took to the water; then an extraordinary change occurred in the world.

They all saw that tall figure clad in black robes, how ruthless and cruel it was.

Such sensational strength, capable of slaying the Dragon King, could also slay others.

He had never shown such a side to the South Hong Seven Sons; most of that was thanks to Elder Liu standing before them.

One after another, Daozi approached, including Bai Wu of the Qing Yue Sect, all silent as they paid their respects to Liu Shiqian.

"..."

Liu Shiqian waved his hand, about to speak, when he suddenly sensed something and returned his gaze to the horizon.
