Chapter 320: I Sit Alone Atop the Mountain Peak
Chapter 320: I Sit Alone Atop the Mountain Peak
In the ravaged mountains, a massive white fox trembled slightly.
Until its breath faded away.
Silence engulfed the mountains, leaving only the heavy breathing of those who remained.
Their gazes fixed on the figure in the blue robe, they watched as he stored the fox's demon core in his storage artifact and then approached the group of fox demons.
Wu Dao'an floated over to Yecha Faxiang and took a deep breath. "Is that really our junior brother Shen?"
The other had just summoned a Dao Infant, transforming into the Great Sun of Departed Fire.
With one punch, he had slain the Fox Demon in the Transformation God Realm, revealing his overwhelmingly powerful physical body.
Yet, he had not displayed any abilities related to his Ethereal Soul.
Zhu Jue fell silent for a moment, then sighed, "This explains why he has always wanted to leave Da Qian. He is walking a completely different path from us."
"Have you forgotten about his Dharma Body?" Wu Dao'an looked up.
"I can't wrap my head around it. It's beyond my comprehension."
Zhu Jue kept his eyes on the figure, "But I know that Junior Brother Shen is on our side, and that's enough for me."
"No wonder you've been so enlightened after staying in the Armory for so long, Brother Zhu. Your perspective is truly enlightened."
Wu Dao'an suppressed the shock in his eyes.
What kind of monster had Qingzhou sent to the Martial Temple?
Shen Yi's performance had completely exceeded their understanding.
Could there truly be an existence capable of mastering both the physical and spiritual paths?
Could he divide his soul into two parts?
Or had he, through some means, suppressed the consciousness of his Dao Infant or Ethereal Soul?
Not only had they not backlashed against him, but they had also obediently followed Shen Yi's commands without even attempting to escape.
Was this the same proud and arrogant life form nurtured by the heavens and the earth?
Wu Dao'an felt his brain trembling. He had already viewed Shen Yi with the highest expectations, yet he still felt that he had underestimated him.
"... "
On the flying boat, Xu Hongde fell into silence.
Both he and the Sixth Patriarch of the Xu family fixed their gazes on the figure.
The silent young man before them acted with such decisiveness and ruthlessness.
Xu Hongde had thought that Aqing must have exaggerated her stories when she described her experiences at home, but now it seemed that she had actually been holding back.
Two Transformation God Realm fox demons had perished so easily.
"So that's what he meant."
The Sixth Patriarch of the Xu family suddenly sighed in relief.
"What?" Xu Hongde turned to look at him.
The Sixth Patriarch pointed downwards, "He said that after he came out, we would know who he is. He didn't want us to see that his backer was Da Qian, but rather that Da Qian's backer is him."
"So, our backer can also be him." The Sixth Patriarch of the Xu family had a complicated expression.
"Isn't that a bit insufficient based on his current strength?" Xu Hongde furrowed his brows.
He acknowledged that Shen Yi's strength had qualified him to become a powerhouse in his own right.
But the Xu family had offended the Xuanguang Cave!
They were an existence that held sway over this land.
"Have you forgotten how young he is?"
The Sixth Patriarch of the Xu family sighed, his fingertips trembling slightly, "What he needs is time, and the reason he sought us out is to gain that time. If he truly becomes a powerhouse like Nie Kun, what else would we need to worry about?"
"So what should we do now...?" Xu Hongde asked, his brow creased.
"We can consider taking action, just like your sister did."
The Sixth Patriarch of the Xu family placed his hand on his storage bag, "By bringing us here, he might be giving us an opportunity to showcase our strength."
Don't forget, there's still a true elder of Qingqiu who hasn't arrived yet.
The idea of a marriage alliance with the fifth elder is certainly out of the question now. If we want to cooperate, we need to show our true capabilities to Shen Yi, not just offer him women.
Initially, they had expected to enjoy their days in Da Qian, but in just half an hour, the situation had taken a drastic turn.
"Ugh."
Even Xu Wanyun hadn't anticipated that her solitary sword would be enough to drive back so many fox demons.
Seeing the group of foxes cower in fear, Tang Yuan hesitated but ultimately remained silent.
If he truly wanted to control the situation, he should have acted before the Qingqiu Patriarch perished.
His initial inaction was due to the understanding between both sides that this was a "personal grudge."
His master had only instructed him to stabilize the situation between Da Qian and Qingqiu, not to interfere in their quest for vengeance. If they wanted to kill Shen Yi and ended up being counter-killed by him, it had nothing to do with him.
Secondly, he was genuinely uncertain if he could stop Shen Yi.
The last time they met outside the Thousand Demon Cave, if he didn't count the Golden Body, he was confident that he wasn't inferior to Shen Yi and might even surpass him.
The only reason Shen Yi seemed so formidable was due to the Youwei Spear in his hand and his tendency to transform into a demon.
But today, Shen Yi wasn't wielding a spear and was purely relying on his cultivation.
Yet, he made Tang Yuan feel immense pressure, similar to facing the Golden-Eyed Lion King. Tang Yuan felt that he would need to consume at least three Fire Lotus Pills to have a chance against Shen Yi.
Now, the only problem was how to resolve the situation when his master and the Qingqiu Patriarch arrived.
"Why am I thinking so much?"
Tang Yuan shook his head. He was merely here to represent his master and stabilize the situation. Since both sides chose to ignore him, he really had no better option.
"You... as a Nascent Soul cultivator, how can you bully the weak? Are you not afraid of my Qingqiu Patriarch?" The group of fox demons felt the aura behind them and, ignoring Xu Wanyun, turned to look back.
Shen Yi responded with actions.
With a slight wave of his palm, the six flying swords in the air stabbed downwards.
This was the same array that had nearly killed the White-Feathered Demon Queen, and even in its incomplete state, it was not something a group of Hybrid Realm fox demons could withstand.
Puchi! Puchi!
The sword lights, like shuttles, easily sliced through the defensive treasures they offered, and blood splattered everywhere! Any fox demon attempting to flee was caught by the Thorn Hand in mid-air and pulled back.
Shen Yi hovered in the air, looking down.
The mountains, already dissolved, were now drenched in scarlet, with bloodlust spreading wildly, turning the place into a slaughterhouse.
This was Lizhou.
The most prosperous place in Da Qian and a favorite gathering spot for foreign cultivators.
He needed to use the hottest demon blood to draw a boundary here.
And imprint that boundary in the hearts of those cultivators.
To tell them what they must never do.
At this moment, that boundary lacked the densest stroke.
With this thought, Shen Yi waved his hand, collecting a pile of corpses into his storage artifact, and turned towards the mountain where Da Qian and the others were located.
He landed where Yecha Faxiang had been.
On the towering peak, he sat cross-legged and slowly closed his eyes.
Behind him, all the Martial Immortals who had rushed over from the Imperial City and the group of disciples from the Artifact Sect couldn't hide the reverence in their eyes as they stared at that straight back.
The young man was far less dazzling than a Golden Body Law Phase.
But just by sitting quietly, he made everyone hesitant to look at Da Qian with their previous gaze.
