Chapter 325: The Xu Clan and the Da Qian Sect
Chapter 325: The Xu Clan and the Da Qian Sect
As the clan leader, Xu Hongde could see the essence of the matter more clearly.
"If Shen Yi is too weak, the other party's promise is worthless. If he's too strong, then there's no need for him to make any promises to the Xu Clan," Xu Hongde thought to himself, assessing the current state of the Da Qian Sect.
It was time for the Xu Clan to make a choice.
Xu Hongde glanced sideways at the distant corpse of the withered fox demon, gradually making up his mind.
"Shen Yi, are you alright?" Zhu Jue emerged from his Golden Body Law Phase, transforming into a golden pearl.
Even though he was an Extreme Realm Martial Immortal and had faintly touched upon the truth of the Law Phase, manipulating his predecessor's Golden Body remains for an extended period had still been extremely exhausting for him.
In contrast, Shen Yi had not only refined his Golden Body Law Phase earlier than him but had also found time to cultivate the Unity of Chaos and Tempering the Body techniques, casually slaying a mid-stage fox demon of the Transformation Realm.
It was truly embarrassing.
Seeing Shen Yi nod, everyone finally relaxed.
Wu Dao'an stared fixedly at the direction in which Qingfeng Zhenren had left, his thin Yin Spirit swaying slightly in the air.
It was only when he realized that everyone had noticed his odd behavior that he quietly withdrew his gaze.
He had once believed that as long as he and the others were patient and endured, there would eventually be an opportunity for them to rise again.
For that reason, they could afford to ignore temporary setbacks and focus on the bigger picture.
But Qingfeng Zhenren's casual sleeve-wave that stopped them all in their tracks had suddenly awakened Wu Dao'an to the fact that he and his companions had long lost the qualification to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Immortal Sect.
In front of that robed youth, he and his companions were no different from the common folk—mere grass and weeds.
They didn't even have the qualification to choose to aid Shen Yi.
How sad.
Just then, a clear voice sounded in Wu Dao'an's ear: "Everything will get better."
He turned awkwardly to see Shen Yi straightening his sleeves, his calm demeanor belying the intense battle that had just taken place.
The ripples of the youth's cyan robe caught Wu Lao's eye.
"Yes..."
A surge of excitement welled up from the depths of Wu Dao'an's heart.
There was another Shen Yi in Da Qian's temple, and compared to the likes of Qingfeng Zhenren, how far behind could he be?
"Thank you, Senior Shen!"
The Da Qian Sect Masters finally had a chance to speak, and they all bowed and saluted.
"We're still here, Senior Shen," Wu Dao'an glared at them irritably. These brainless, vulgar martial artists only cared about the strong within their own Da Qian Sect. Who else would guarantee their lives and bestow them with Longevity Fruits?
Chen Zhong awkwardly corrected himself: "Lord Shen."
Actually, it wasn't their fault. When they had returned the last time, there had only been a handful of Sect Masters in Da Qian.
Who could have imagined that in such a short period, a genius would appear and become the one to turn the tide?
"It's fine," Shen Yi waved his hand, turning to face Xu Hongde and the others.
Noticing this, the Da Qian group, led by Zhu Jue, all bowed solemnly with solemn expressions.
No matter who the visitor was, as long as he was a friend of Shen Yi's, he deserved their highest respect.
"Let me introduce you. This is the clan leader of the Xu Clan," Shen Yi raised his palm slightly.
Before the words had even landed, the smiles that had just appeared on everyone's faces froze.
Xu... Xu Clan? Surely not the one they were thinking of?
Zhu Jue glanced discreetly at the array plate in Xu Hongde's hand and his heart skipped a beat: "..."
Was Shen Yi unaware of the grudge between the Xu Clan and Xuanguang Cave? Nominally, Da Qian still had an alliance with Xuanguang Cave.
According to the rules, even if they didn't capture these people and hand them over to Xuanguang Cave, they shouldn't be fraternizing with them!
"I'm not worthy of such respect. Just call me Chen Zhong," Chen Zhong waved his hands, unlike the others, he didn't find anything amiss with the situation.
So what if it was the Xu family? Their offense against Xuanguang Cave was simply entrapping and killing a Transformational Realm Immortal with their array formation.
Senior Shen had already slain Zhang Mingyang with his own hands, earning the wrath of Xuanguang Cave. What did this minor matter count for?
Seeing that Shen Yi had made up his mind, Zhu Jue didn't voice any further objections.
He knew very well who the lifeline of Da Qian was. Just like earlier when they slew the Qingqiu fox demon, as long as Senior Shen gave the order, the rest of them just needed to follow suit.
"I am Zhu Jue of the Da Qian Martial Temple," Zhu Jue introduced himself to the strangers, both sides maintaining a polite and cordial demeanor for Shen Yi's sake.
"Chat amongst yourselves, I have something else to take care of," Shen Yi said, gently nodding as he bid everyone farewell.
His figure then swiftly took to the skies, carrying away the corpses of the two Transformational Realm fox demons, leaving the Instrument Sect.
Although it was likely that no one would question his actions anymore, he didn't want to tarnish his righteous image.
He didn't want to hear people shouting, "That demon is Senior Shen!" the next time he took action.
"... "
Having just left the Xu family, Shen Yi was pondering the insufficient demon lifespan.
Unexpectedly, more had come knocking at his door.
It had been a long time since Shen Yi had encountered such good fortune. Looking at the long list of prompts on the panel, his heart stirred with excitement.
[Remaining Demon Lifespan: 139,000 years. Can be refined.]
Excluding the 10,000 years he originally had left, the rest was all thanks to the Qingqiu demons.
The largest contribution came from the group of Mixed Realm fox demons—a total of twelve demons ranging from Initial to Upper Realm, providing a whopping 58,000 years, a quality not far inferior to the Demon King of the Thousand Demon Cave.
This was an astonishing fact.
Aside from a lack of stronger individuals, their potential was comparable to that of a top-tier force.
The younger generation was exceptionally talented.
No wonder they wanted to shed their neutral identity and pledge allegiance to Wutong Mountain. Their lack of foundation likely prompted them to seek more resources to nurture their tribe.
The two Initial Realm ancestors were only of average caliber, contributing a combined 43,000 years.
As for the old ancestor, he was stingy. Despite being a Mid-Realm demon, he only had 18,000 years of remaining lifespan, half that of the Qingling Demon Emperor.
However, what Shen Yi valued most about this old ancestor wasn't his lifespan, but his knowledge and experience.
With his help, Shen Yi's path to cultivation would become much smoother.
"Reconstruct Demon Soul."
Shen Yi found a secluded spot and landed.
Without hesitation, he spent 10,000 years of demon lifespan to exchange for a Demon Origin.
As he watched the soul of the old man with a cane slowly materialize before him, Shen Yi temporarily ignored it and turned his attention to the demon corpses.
He took out all the bodies and laid them on the ground, unleashing the fully developed Blood Refining Divine Ability.
With a slight opening of his mouth, a substantial river of demonic blood converged before him.
