Chapter 355: I Don't Negotiate with the Dead
Chapter 355: I Don't Negotiate with the Dead
In the Imperial City, within the Martial Temple, Wu Dao'an stood helplessly in the grand hall.
By his side, Ah Qing sat on the ground with a rare display of dejection, her arms hugging her knees while her shoulders shook slightly.
Xu WanYun knelt beside her, gently soothing her emotions.
However, this woman, who seemed calm, was equally dazed and lost in her own thoughts.
These two women, who had spent many years confined to their homes and just beginning to feel a sense of independence, had taken their first steps to make decisions for their families.
But the harsh reality had slapped them hard in the face.
It turned out that the Xu family was far from ready to leave their hiding place and walk proudly in the world.
And their words had ultimately influenced the judgment of the Five Ancestors.
The elders, along with the family, once again set foot on this familiar yet strange land, only to be captured by their mortal enemies before even reaching Da Qian.
The whole situation unfolded as if Da Qian and Xuan Guang Dong had conspired together.
At this moment, Ah Qing was less overwhelmed by grief.
Instead, she sank into deep self-blame and worry for her clan.
"Aunt..." She hugged Xu WanYun's legs tightly.
"Kill!"
On the offering table, the Arhat Dharma Statue with an angry gaze viciously stepped on a cultivator wearing a dark and white robe. The cultivator was already on the verge of death.
"Kill them all! No mercy! Wipe them out!"
"Old Ancestor, please calm down," Wu Dao'an said helplessly, glancing behind him. This matter had completely spiraled out of his control.
Da Qian had exhausted all means to contact Shen Yi.
But it was as if he had disappeared without a trace.
Almost all the Yin Shen cultivators in the Martial Temple had been mobilized, taking away all the Jinshen Faxiang.
They were prepared to risk everything.
However, up to this point, they had not even gained the qualification to negotiate properly with Xuan Guang Dong.
Xuan Guang Dong's intentions were clear.
They would first break the grand formation, deal with the Xu family, and then settle scores with Da Qian.
"Tsk...so these are our allies..."
The Xuan Guang Dong cultivator spat out a mouthful of blood, his face contorted in rage as he glared at the crowd. "Just you wait and see! This isn't over! Xuan Guang Dong has protected you for many years, and this is how you repay us?"
The Martial Temple's Old Ancestor directly grabbed him, stuffed him into his mouth, and bit down on his waist, muttering, "Eat you! Eat you!"
"Old Ancestor!"
Wu Dao'an could no longer restrain himself and quickly pinched the technique to try and wake the other party up.
Xu's family was still in the hands of Xuan Guang Dong.
This cultivator was also a bargaining chip for negotiations, and he couldn't just be killed so easily.
Just then, the Martial Temple's Old Ancestor suddenly stopped chewing and stared blankly into the distance, ignoring the cultivator sliding out of his mouth.
Wu Dao'an was taken aback.
Without the golden book in his possession, he couldn't sense any changes.
But whatever had caught the Old Ancestor's attention was most likely related to the incense aspiration power.
"Incense aspiration power, could it be..."
Inside the Martial Temple's Court A.
Shen Yi stood at the entrance, feeding the demon essence to the newly formed demon soul.
The soul of the Youwei Demon Emperor gradually solidified.
But under the calm gaze of its master, it felt a hint of chill, causing it to forget to express its gratitude.
After the fourth demon essence was consumed:
[Demon Emperor: Youwei Demon Emperor]
The "Incomplete" status on the panel finally disappeared.
Shen Yi mobilized the demon's life source, pouring all the remaining 30,000 years' worth into the panel.
[In the first year, you and Madam Qinghua easily sealed the Youwei Demon Emperor in the Demon Prison.]
Shen Yi held the incense aspiration power of all of Da Qian in his hands.
At this moment, he finally and completely absorbed it into the golden pearl within his body, leaving nothing behind.
With the vast demon life source empowering him, the cloud sea formed by the gathering of white mist was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Thirty-seven thousand years!
When the sky was clear and cloudless, stretching for thousands of miles.
The demon's life source was exhausted.
[Transformation God. Golden Body Imprisonment Law Phase (Rare): Great Accomplishment]
Shen Yi no longer hid his strength and turned to walk towards the Martial Temple.
And behind him stood a majestic and awe-inspiring ten-zhang-tall dark golden Dharma Phase, its left arm a golden dragon and its right arm a dark dragon, resembling a towering mountain.
"Old Ancestor, he's back?"
Wu Dao'an looked at the Old Ancestor, who was staring blankly upwards, and his heart was filled with overwhelming joy.
Although he didn't know what Shen Yi could do now that he was back.
After all, the opponent he had killed last time, the Qingchu Old Ancestor, was only at the mid-stage of the Transformation Realm, and when facing the fury of Xuan Guang Dong, he might be as helpless as Wu Dao'an himself.
But just hearing about Shen Yi made Wu Dao'an feel reassured.
"Who is... he?"
The Old Ancestor slowly lowered his head, his face filled with doubt.
"I..." Wu Dao'an was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand irritably. "It's useless asking you."
Looking at the two women, who were struggling to hold back their tears, he clenched his fists tightly, his heart also filled with a sense of sorrow.
Only when they truly angered Xuan Guang Dong did they realize a very sad fact.
Not only was Da Qian unable to protect others, but it had long been treated as a fish on a chopping block, at the mercy of others.
Just then, Wu Dao'an saw a straight figure walking in from outside. The figure strode past him and stopped in front of the offering table.
The young man was too quiet, and the old man almost didn't react.
Until the young man spoke.
"Give him to me."
Shen Yi stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking at the man in the Xuan white robe on the offering table.
The Old Ancestor was stunned for a moment, then kicked the man off the table without thinking.
"Who are you!"
The Xuan Guang Dong cultivator struggled to get up, but the indifferent young man stepped on him, pushing him back down.
"Rebellion! Da Qian, you dare to rebel!"
Listening to the man's sharp roar, Ah Qing and Xu WanYun stared at the tall and straight back, slender yet so imposing.
"Shen Yi, quickly capture him, and then we can..."
Wu Dao'an hurriedly reminded him.
But he saw Shen Yi lift his foot slightly and then casually crush the man's head with his foot.
Bang—
The cultivator's skull instantly dissipated into a cloud of spiritual energy.
Wu Dao'an's mouth hung open: "You... "
Shen Yi turned around and walked back towards the door. "Lead the way."
He didn't see the need to negotiate with the dead.
Ah Qing stumbled to her feet and followed him without a word.
Xu WanYun quickly supported her.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up!"
Wu Dao'an glanced at the Old Ancestor and waved his hand forcefully.
To hell with it.
Anyway, the Old Ancestor was already completely confused, and now it was best to just follow Shen Yi.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The Old Ancestor rose into the air, crashing through the tall beams.
With Wu Dao'an's directions, the group quickly rushed out of Da Qian.
"Here's the situation."
Wu Dao'an summoned his Yin Shen and barely kept up with Shen Yi's pace. "This time, a Xuan Robed Grand Cultivator came... You can understand him to be the leader of Xuan Guang Dong. Apart from Zhang Xuan Yan, who joined as an exception, all the others are at the late-stage of the Transformation Realm. As for who it is, I'm not quite sure yet."
"If it's Zhang Xuan Yan, with you here, they probably won't dare to touch the Xu family for now."
"If it's one of the other three..." Wu Dao'an took a deep breath and said solemnly, "With the disciples of Wutong Mountain here, we can pay any price to ensure the safety of the Xu family."
Da Qian may not value the Xu family that much.
But this was the first time Shen Yi had made a promise to others.
As the actual leader of the Martial Temple,
he was the backbone of Da Qian, and his dignity was above all else!
Upon hearing this, Ah Qing and Xu WanYun remained silent, but they rubbed their eyes forcefully.
Everything they had was there.
And now, Shen Yi was going to bring them to safely retrieve their clan.
