Chapter 338: Offering You a Path Between Life and Death
Chapter 338: Offering You a Path Between Life and Death
Yu Chaoyan and Tong Xincuan both stared at the black-robed figure.
Just as he threw his punch, their pupils constricted slightly.
The ethereal image of the magnificent spiritual bird seemed like some kind of cultivation technique, but as both of them were Profound Spirit Late Stage Cultivators, they could sense that there was no fluctuation of the Essence of Heaven and Earth.
The Wutong Mountain disciples were not afraid of the powerful external Cultivators.
After all, no one was stronger than their master.
Moreover, the youth's strength was still far below theirs.
They just couldn't understand it.
Most of the profound and profound cultivation methods in the world originated from the Thousand Demons Cave.
As the strongest human force, Wutong Mountain collected various cultivation techniques, including artifact forging, pill refining, array formations, and other such means.
Even if they didn't know something, they could certainly identify its origin.
Could it be a self-created technique...
"How can he see us?"
Yu Chaoyan looked at his senior apprentice brother in confusion.
"He must have guessed it was us."
Tong Xincuan had absolute confidence in his array formation skills.
At this moment, a look of indifference appeared on his effeminate face.
The black-robed youth's actions could be interpreted in many ways, but it was definitely not a respectful attitude towards seniors.
"What does he want?"
Yu Chaoyan was a little puzzled, as if they hadn't interfered in this matter.
"Tsk."
Tong Xincuan slowly averted his gaze, "He's saying that the loose cultivator you brought back is from Great Qian, and he's not someone to be trifled with... nor is he someone who can't survive without you."
"Then what should we do?" Yu Chaoyan scratched the back of his head.
"Let's go."
Tong Xincuan gave this idiot a disdainful look.
The assessment of the senior apprentice sister was over, so why linger here and wait for the Shadow Tail Demon King to come and cause trouble?
"..."
Shen Yi retracted his gaze.
His figure disappeared from where he stood, and he followed closely behind the Golden Body Manifestation, grabbing Jiang Qiulan by the back of her collar, "Clean up the mess."
The Golden Body nodded in compliance and headed towards the broken serpent body.
"Can you please not hold me like this?"
Jiang Qiulan, feeling a little uncomfortable, was lifted up like a small cat.
Shen Yi paused, then realized that the woman was no longer the Embrace Core Realm Cultivator who had once struggled with light body techniques.
He nodded and released her.
"It's not exactly like that."
Jiang Qiulan summoned her Dao Infant, which hovered in the air, and muttered softly.
She looked at the man who was so close to her.
Last time, she had left in a hurry and didn't have time to examine him closely.
Now, after carefully observing him for a moment, she found that compared to herself, he seemed no different from when they first met in Qingzhou.
"You're getting more and more powerful."
Jiang Qiulan's eyes sparkled with envy and joy.
Every time she made progress in her cultivation, Shen Yi would reappear, once again becoming a mountain that seemed impossible to surpass.
Initially, she would feel extremely shocked.
Now, it's more like a dream, like a dying person's fantasy."
In her fantasy, he was naturally all-powerful.
"Not bad."
Shen Yi watched as the Golden Body Manifestation cleaned up the demon corpses and then called out Ma Guangshan, who was hiding in the distance, trembling in fear.
He turned away, "Let's go."
He hadn't planned to use the Shadow Tail Spear so easily.
But when he came over just now and saw Jiang Qiulan about to make her move, he suddenly froze for a moment, and his emotions became a little off, feeling a bit aggrieved.
Someone like her, who was completely focused and exceptionally calm once she took action, must have been influenced by something.
Perhaps someone was transmitting a message to her.
For this reason, Shen Yi didn't ask the Golden Body Manifestation for help, as he was wary of the possible presence of eavesdropping Cultivators nearby.
"Alright."
Jiang Qiulan was well aware of the dangers in this place and didn't rush to express her concerns, as she wasn't very good at it.
She quietly followed Shen Yi, heading towards the Thousand Demons Cave.
...
The two of them didn't stop at Demon Suppressing City.
Instead, they went even further.
Only when they were certain they were safe did Shen Yi finally stop at a stream and turned to look at the woman behind him. "What were you doing at the Thousand Demons Cave?"
"The assessment of Lingxi True Person from Wutong Mountain."
Jiang Qiulan spoke softly, "I offended a Demon Dragon in Great Qian and didn't dare to return. Later, I met Xuan Jian True Person from Wutong Mountain, and he said he would recommend me to become a Disciple by Name Only under his senior apprentice sister."
"Did it work out?"
Shen Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, having heard the name Wutong Mountain countless times and feeling equally curious.
If not for the concern of being discovered by the panel and the fear of their ancestor,
he would have likely wanted to join their sect as well.
"Look."
Jiang Qiulan's voice was calm, and she still looked serene.
But her careful action of taking out the snake egg and placing it on the ground was like a child showing off her masterpiece to an adult.
She then shyly retracted her hands, as if waiting for praise.
Seeing the subtle tension on her fair and lovely face, Shen Yi was slightly taken aback.
It was hard to imagine that this expressionless woman would show a girlish demeanor.
"Are you okay?" Shen Yi glanced at her.
Jiang Qiulan's face stiffened slightly, and she let out a soft sigh.
However, she then heard Shen Yi's calm voice.
"Do you want to come back to Great Qian with me?"
Although Wutong Mountain was powerful, based on the previous scene, they didn't seem to have any intention of rescuing her.
Obviously, they didn't consider this woman very important.
If she couldn't receive true teachings, it would be better to return to Great Qian. It was just a Spirit Root and cultivation technique; if she didn't have them now, she could slowly find them later.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qiulan paused for a moment, then lifted her head to look into Shen Yi's eyes.
After a few breaths, a smile appeared on her face, no longer cold. Her eyes held a hint of sweetness and anticipation, as if the fairy in the painting had suddenly come to life.
"Can I always follow you?"
"You still need more practice." Shen Yi replied almost without hesitation.
In the place he was going, Jiang Qiulan was even less capable of protecting herself than Qing.
"I knew it."
Jiang Qiulan seemed to have expected this, but she was slightly disappointed.
She put away the snake egg and smiled lightly, "I'm not used to staying in a safe place, lying in bed and wondering what others are doing, if they will be injured, or if something has happened. It's like a young beast waiting for its parents to return from hunting... I would go crazy."
She had experienced this once when she was young.
In the end, all she received was news of their deaths.
"Do you believe that one day I'll be able to stand by your side?"
Jiang Qiulan took a deep breath, "At least I'll have some ability to protect myself."
"..."
Shen Yi glanced at her without saying a word.
Jiang Qiulan rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "Can't you lie just once?"
"Sure, I believe you."
Shen Yi was quite generous about such matters. He casually took out a pile of items and handed them to her, "Keep these safe. You should know how to use them."
There weren't many items, only four.
A Storage Bag with the Xuan Guang Cave emblem, a Spirit Gathering Furnace, a Mystic Sword, and a Divine Heavens True Thunder Sword Technique scroll.
Since she was going, what was the point of becoming a Disciple by Name Only?
These items were a double-edged sword.
She might die, or she might achieve great merit with them. Of course, she could also keep them in her Storage Bag forever... Jiang Qiulan wasn't a fool.
