Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 948 - 627: Master of Hongze

Chapter 948: Chapter 627: Master of Hongze

Lady Qinghua saw Prince Zi Yang out of the palace doors and closed them again.

Shen Yi sat cross-legged, his eyes glowing with profound depth.

To be honest, neither of these two paths seemed reliable to him.

Reporting back to the Immortal Court was out of the question, setting aside the matter of the Immortal Seal, Shen Yi indeed disliked entrusting his life to the decisions of others.

Moreover, he was completely clueless about the situation in the Immortal Court.

Just how much authority did those uncles like Shi Ren really have, what was their character like, and would the Purple-Bearded White Dragon who had ingratiated itself with a great immortal also have a say in such matters?

Knowing nothing, how was that different from seeking death?

As for escaping and becoming an immortal of the three teachings,

Shen Yi felt that perhaps it was a flaw in his character, but he always thought that Zi Yang and the East Dragon King oversimplified matters.

Of course, speaking of talents, he had established the foundations of opening five Immortal Cities, indeed ranking among the top in Hongze, unique as scorpion pastries.

But apart from the foundation, don’t cultivators value insight as well?

When those immortals casually ask a couple of questions, it’s highly likely he would give himself away.

It couldn’t be that someone could just show him Cultivation Technique, and even though he was clueless at first, once he had the spell in hand, one practice and he would know it... That would be just splendid, but chances are those immortals, rather than treat this person as an unequaled prodigy, would more likely flay and soul-search to thoroughly inquire.

"Difficult."

Shen Yi sighed slightly, under Shi Ren’s blockade, Hongze was utterly ignorant of the outside world.

And the well-traveled East Dragon King had already been executed, even his Dragon Soul confined by magic treasures, sent directly to the heavens.

Thinking of that old man in a green shirt, Shen Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Though not old friends, the old Dragon King truly proved with his life that he was wholeheartedly considering a stranger.

To put it bluntly, the Dragon Seal was already in hand.

With the strength of his Dao Realm, he could have stayed hidden, to see what waves this young Sect Master of Nanyang could stir up, observe the immortals’ situation, and then make a decision.

Just for that intention, Shen Yi wouldn’t need Zi Yang to ask; if there was a chance, he would certainly rescue that old Dragon King from his predicament.

Besides, there was Senior Xuanqing.

The immortal had died, and it seemed like the great vengeance for the Nanyang Sect’s fall was avenged, but in reality, by today, anyone could see that the real culprit was still at large and would become increasingly so.

Shen Yi slowly clenched his fists; he rarely agreed to anything for anyone, but once he did, he wanted to do his best to complete it.

Back then, Xuanqing dared to knock on the doors of the other six sects for a beginner, forcing several Sect Masters to come forward and solidify his own position as the Sect Master of Nanyang, and in the end was even willing to give up his life to help stabilize his foundation a bit more.

And he would certainly not plan to shirk his duties just because the Purple-Bearded White Dragon had a lofty status.

"Anyway, first step out."

Shen Yi looked up at the imposing Zhenyu Golden Body beside him.

If he felt helpless, perhaps it was because his perspective wasn’t broad enough, rather than sitting here daydreaming, it would be better to take the first step out.

"Qinghua at your command."

Lady Qinghua certainly understood what her master meant, and now the master needed eyes and ears left behind in that unknown Immortal Court.

She had not been able to help for a long time, and at this moment, she felt not fear, but rather some joy and excitement.

"Go," Shen Yi nodded lightly, the virtuous golden light had already shown her the way to the heavens.

"Lady Qinghua will not disappoint my master’s high expectations!" Lady Qinghua nodded vigorously, now that her master was in a difficult situation, if she could grasp something in the Immortal Court or climb a bit higher, only then she could truly be of help.

After finishing her respects, she turned into a beam of golden light and darted away, stepping back onto the Ascension Path that she should have completed long ago.

"..."

Shen Yi slowly withdrew his gaze, for some reason, that sour taste from the past surged up again.

This path had been taken a bit too lightly, tsk, truly worthy of the Prison Suppressing Golden Body Technique he had devised himself.

Well then, although he couldn’t take the easy road, at least there was still a bridge to cross.

With that thought, Shen Yi turned his gaze to the panel.

[Remaining Demon Lifespan Years: 47,620,000]

When the Southern Dragon Palace was annihilated, aside from the Yellow Poison Dragon, the vassals of its Dragon Palace were also almost completely swept clean, not even managing to gather twenty million Lifespan Years combined with the group that was driven to this place, the West Hong Demon.

Later, during the battle with Western Hong, the operation was too rushed due to time constraints.

Shen Yi only killed the Dragon Palace’s main forces, and those vassals were left to the senior predecessors of Southern Hong to resolve, with the Demon Lifespan years garnered even less than that of Southern Hong.

With Shi Ren’s command this time, the powers of all Northern Hong were mobilized.

One decisive battle directly reduced Northern Hong to a bona fide backwater.

Adding the scattered gains previously used to gather the Demon Emperor Seal of the East Dragon Palace, this clean-up of Hongze directly brought Shen Yi a harvest of nearly sixty million Demon Lifespan Years.

They certainly cleansed very thoroughly... it’s just that they cleansed the north.

"Sigh."

Shen Yi closed his eyes, exhaling turbid breath.

The White Rhinoceros Jade Seal slowly floated out, struggling fiercely in the air.

Next to this jade seal, there floated three scarlet seals.

With the help of the White Rhinoceros Jade Seal, the entirety of Hongze’s land and water unfolded within Shen Yi’s mind.

He reached out slightly, and the phantom of the Ten Thousand Demon North Hall instantly enveloped the Northern Dragon Palace.

A Golden Turtle Seal began to converge.

Shen Yi’s actions did not stop, the phantom of the Ten Thousand Demon Middle Hall pressed straight towards the Immortal Residence, the fifth Calamity Qilin Seal gradually took shape.
