Chapter 355: I Won't Negotiate with the Dead
Chapter 355: I Won't Negotiate with the Dead
Imperial City, Wu Temple.
Wu Da'an stood in the grand hall, feeling helpless and at a loss.
Beside him, Qing sat on the ground with a rare display of dejection, hugging her knees as her shoulders trembled slightly.
Xu Wanyun crouched by her side, gently comforting her.
However, this seemingly composed woman was also in a daze, her eyes unfocused.
These two women, who had spent many years at home and were just beginning to feel independent, had stepped forward to make a decision for their family.
But they were harshly slapped by the cruel reality.
It turned out that the Xu family was still far from being able to leave their hiding place and walk freely in the world.
Their words had ultimately influenced the Fifth Patriarch's judgment.
The clan elders, leading the family, once again stepped onto this familiar yet unfamiliar land. However, before they even reached Great Qian, they were caught in a deadly trap set by their mortal enemy.
The entire situation unfolded as if Great Qian and Xuan Guang Cave had conspired together.
At this moment, Qing was not so much in grief.
Instead, she was deeply blaming herself and worrying about her clan.
"Auntie..." She tightly hugged Xu Wanyun's calves.
"Kill!"
On the offering altar, the wrathful Bodhisattva's Dharmic Body ruthlessly trampled on a cultivator wearing an azure-white Dao robe, who was already on the verge of death.
"Kill them all! Don't cry! Kill them all!"
"Ancient Ancestor, please calm down."
Wu Da'an helplessly looked behind him. This matter was completely out of his control.
Great Qian had tried every means to contact Shen Yi.
But it was as if he had vanished.
Almost all the Yin Spirit cultivators in the Wu Temple had been mobilized, taking away all the Golden Body Law Bodies.
They were prepared to fight to the death.
However, up to this point, they couldn't even secure the opportunity to negotiate with Xuan Guang Cave.
Xuan Guang Cave's intentions were clear.
They wanted to break the grand formation, deal with the Xu family, and then settle the score with Great Qian.
"Hmph... This is what allies are like..."
A cultivator from Xuan Guang Cave spat out a mouthful of blood, glaring at the crowd with a hideous expression, "Just you wait and see! This isn't over yet! Xuan Guang Cave has protected you for many years, and this is how you repay us."
The Ancient Ancestor of the Wu Temple directly grabbed him, stuffed him into his mouth, and bit down on his waist, "I'll eat you! I'll eat you!"
"Ancient Ancestor!"
Wu Da'an finally couldn't hold back and hurriedly pinched a spell formation to try to awaken the cultivator.
The Xu family was still in Xuan Guang Cave's hands.
This cultivator was a bargaining chip for negotiations, and he couldn't be killed so easily.
Just then, the Ancient Ancestor of the Wu Temple suddenly stopped chewing, ignoring the cultivator slipping from his mouth, and stared blankly at the horizon.
Wu Da'an was taken aback.
He didn't have the golden book in his hands, so he couldn't sense any changes.
But something that could capture the attention of the absent-minded Ancient Ancestor was most likely related to the incense flame willpower.
"Incense flame willpower, could it be..."
In the First Academy of the Wu Temple.
Shen Yi stood at the door, feeding the Demon Origin to the newly formed Demon Soul.
The Soul of the Shadowtail Demon Sovereign gradually solidified.
But under the calm gaze of its master, it felt a chill, causing it to forget to express its gratitude.
After consuming the fourth Demon Origin,
【Demon Sovereign: Shadowtail Demon Sovereign】
The word "Remnant" on the panel finally disappeared.
Shen Yi manipulated the Demon Lifespan, pouring the remaining 30,000 years into the panel.
【First Year: With Qinghua Consort's assistance, you easily imprisoned the Shadowtail Demon Sovereign in the Demon Prison】
Shen Yi held the incense flame willpower of the entire Great Qian in his hands.
At this moment, he finally left nothing behind, incorporating it all into the golden orb within his body.
With the vast Demon Lifespan as support, the cloud sea formed by the gathering of white mist was dissipating at a visible rate.
Thirty-seven thousand years!
When the sky cleared and the clouds vanished,
The Demon Lifespan was exhausted.
【Spirit Transformation. Golden Body Prison Law Body (Rare): Completion】
Shen Yi no longer concealed it and turned to walk towards the Wu Temple.
Behind him stood a majestic ten-zhang-tall golden law body, with a golden dragon on its left arm and a dark dragon on its right, resembling a towering mountain.
Hanging in the sky, it illuminated the Great Qian Imperial City.
Then, it suddenly vanished into the clouds.
"Ancient Ancestor, is he back?"
Wu Da'an watched as the Ancient Ancestor slowly raised his head, his expression blank. Wu Da'an's heart was filled with surprise.
Although he didn't know what Shen Yi could do after returning.
After all, the Azure Deer Ancestor he had killed last time was only at the middle stage of Divine Transformation, and when facing the fury of the entire Xuan Guang Cave, he might be as helpless as Wu Da'an himself.
But as long as he heard news of Younger Brother Shen.
Wu Da'an felt inexplicably relieved.
"Who is... he?"
The Ancient Ancestor slowly lowered his head, his face filled with doubt.
"I..." Wu Da'an was choked up, and he waved his hand impatiently, "Asking you is pointless."
Looking at the two women struggling to hold back their tears, he clenched his fists tightly, and a hint of sorrow also rose in his heart.
Only when truly angering the Xuan Guang Cave.
Would one discover a truly pitiful matter.
Not only did Great Qian lack the strength to protect others, but it had long been treated as a fish on a cutting board, at the mercy of others.
At this moment, Wu Da'an saw a straight figure approaching from outside the door, then passing by him and walking towards the offering altar.
The youth was too quiet, and the old man almost didn't react.
Until he spoke.
"Give him to me."
Shen Yi stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the man in the azure-white robe on the altar.
The Ancient Ancestor was stunned. His brain couldn't handle such complex thoughts, so he instinctively kicked the man off the altar.
"Who are you!"
The Xuan Guang Cave cultivator struggled to stand up, but was stepped back down by the indifferent youth.
"Rebellion! Great Qian is rebelling!"
Hearing the man's shrill roar, Qing and Xu Wanyun looked up in a daze, staring at the tall and straight figure. He wasn't particularly muscular, but he appeared so majestic.
"Younger Brother Shen, quickly capture him and take him away, and also talk..."
Wu Da'an hurriedly reminded.
But he saw Shen Yi slightly lift his boot and casually crushed the man's head with a kick.
Boom—
The cultivator's head instantly dissipated into a cloud of spirit qi.
Wu Da'an's mouth hung open: "Judg..."
Shen Yi turned around and walked towards the door again, saying softly, "Lead the way."
He didn't think there was a need to negotiate with a dead man.
Qing stumbled to her feet from the ground and followed silently.
Xu Wanyun hurriedly supported her.
"What are you looking at! Hurry up and follow!"
Wu Da'an glanced at the Ancient Ancestor and waved his hand forcefully.
To hell with it.
Anyway, he was already completely confused, so now he would just follow Younger Brother Shen.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The Ancient Ancestor soared into the air, shattering the tall beam.
With Wu Da'an's guidance, the group quickly headed out of Great Qian.
"The situation is like this."
Wu Da'an summoned his Yin Spirit and barely kept up with Shen Yi's pace: "This time, a Black Robe Great Cultivator came... you can understand that he's the leader of Xuan Guang Cave. Apart from Zhang Xuanyan, who joined exceptionally, the rest are all at the late stage of Divine Transformation. As for who it is, I'm not quite sure."
"If it's Zhang Xuanyan, with you here, they probably won't dare to harm the Xu family for now."
"If it's one of the other three..." Wu Da'an took a deep breath and said solemnly, "With the disciples of Wutong Mountain present, we can pay any price to ensure the safety of the Xu family."
Great Qian might not value the Xu family that much.
But this was the first promise Shen Yi had made to others.
As the actual leader of the Temple of Martial Arts.
He was the backbone of Great Qian, and his dignity was above all else!
Upon hearing this, 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 retrieve their clan members safely.
