Chapter 413: Mayfly Scaling the Mountain
Chapter 413: Mayfly Scaling the Mountain
Compared to her group of incompetent disciples, Ye Wenxuan was more inclined to show patience towards this unfamiliar young man.
"For a young prodigy like you, I don't want to lecture too much."
Usually, when someone denies something, it's highly likely that they are planning to do something next.
Shen Yi put away the purple gold pill furnace into his storage treasure and patted his sleeve, then stood up.
Although he didn't have a good impression of this woman due to her previous words, he also acknowledged that it was because of her existence that Dagan managed to survive.
And also the fact that he could enjoy drinking yellow wine and eating preserved meat in Baiyun County.
"You're more polite than Nie Jun."
Ye Wenxuan smiled faintly, and her voice softened a little, "Actually, your idea is not wrong. After all, you were born here, the only thing that's a bit off is that your vision is too narrow."
She reached out and placed her hand on Shen Yi's shoulder, like an elder giving earnest advice, "If cultivation is like a mountain, you are already standing at the peak. You can't think with the perspective of someone at the foot of the mountain."
Li Qingfeng stood outside the courtyard, shaking his head with a bitter smile.
Even he, as a disciple, had never received such treatment after so many years on Wutong Mountain.
"You need to understand where the problem lies."
Ye Wenxuan looked up at the sky, "Just like these thousands of demons in the Thousand Demons Cave, they are indeed powerful, but compared to me, what are they? As long as I'm willing to put in some effort, I can single-handedly exterminate them all."
"But I can't."
"The reason is simple. If these demons die, that old dog won't be able to sleep peacefully. If he can't sleep, the world will suffer."
"So, the only thing we need to do is find someone who can deal with him."
Ye Wenxuan lifted her lips, "The lives of mortals, compared to us, are no different from mayflies, unaware of the passing of day and night. As long as you can handle the root of the problem, they will naturally adjust it over generations."
"Do you feel that what you're doing now is meaningless?"
Ye Wenxuan slowly took out a stone emitting a faint glow from her sleeve, "I have a Palace Sealing Artifact that I can give to Nie Jun or you. Once the Southern Yang Sect is established, you can roam freely under the vast sky. If you don't want to leave, you can also stay in the Southern Yang Sect as an elder."
"There's still plenty of time, you can take your time to consider."
Ye Wenxuan held up the Palace Sealing Artifact and brought it before the youth.
Qingfeng Zhenren stared at the Palace Sealing Artifact, his heart sinking. It was only at this moment that he fully realized that his master was truly planning to replace Nie Shixiong, and it wasn't just a momentary angry remark.
That disciple who sacrificed himself without hesitation, searching for the Age Fruit in the Thousand Demons Cave and trying all means to transplant the Age Tree.
As long as the conditions were right, he could be abandoned without hesitation.
Li Qingfeng stared at Shen Yi in a daze.
Although it couldn't be called betrayal, Nie Shixiong was still guarding against demons in the Nine Provinces while the two of them had already decided on the matter within the Imperial City.
"..."
Shen Yi stared at the Palace Sealing Artifact before him, his lips curling up in a smile.
He brushed his shoulder, "You might have misunderstood. I didn't intentionally do anything."
Under Ye Wenxuan's slightly furrowed brows, Shen Yi strode out of the courtyard, "I'm just a mayfly unwilling to die for no reason, trying my best to save myself."
What nonsense about the perspective from the top of the mountain.
He only knew that if he didn't kill demons, he would die, so he kept killing along the way.
His thoughts were purer than Ye Wenxuan's, without such complexity.
Shen Yi walked out of the courtyard, casually took a dried fruit from Li Qingfeng, and instantly disappeared into the sky as purple and white radiance.
"You're stealing snacks too!"
Li Qingfeng's expression turned bitter, rolling his eyes as he watched the other person leave.
He turned around and silently stared at his master.
Ye Wenxuan maintained the posture of holding the Palace Sealing Artifact, and the gentleness on her face gradually faded, turning into indifference.
"That..."
Li Qingfeng opened his mouth, wanting to explain something to Li Qingfeng.
For instance, they, as fellow disciples, never had any thoughts of betraying their master. They had simply come out to handle a matter, and after completing it, they were even considering how to persuade Nie Shixiong to return.
However, it seemed that their master wasn't too concerned about these matters.
So, let it be.
"Disciple takes his leave."
Li Qingfeng nodded and turned to leave the Armor Academy as well.
Ye Wenxuan slowly put away the talisman, and a hint of anger surfaced in her eyes.
After so many years, it had been a long time since she had felt such emotions.
Even when Nie Jun rebelled earlier, Ye Wenxuan had maintained her composure, but now, she was genuinely angry.
All the Southern Yang Sect cultivators were dead.
The elder who had returned to the clan to select disciples by chance had caused a Dao token to be left outside.
Generations of inheritance had been protected at the cost of countless lives to safeguard the Dao token.
All this was for the Southern Yang Sect to see the light of day again.
She was just an inconspicuous member of this group, and it was only due to her good luck that she had survived until now. However, the palace-sealing artifact in her hand was the hope of almost all the human cultivators who had barely survived.
Yet, that youth treated it with such disdain, not even willing to take a second glance.
How arrogant!
As for the mayfly analogy the other party mentioned, in Ye Wenxuan's eyes, it was nothing more than a sharp-tongued youngster trying to silence her with her own words.
What kind of mayfly could cultivate to such a well-known realm without relying on Wutong Mountain?
...
Outside of Great Tian, two figures hid in the clouds.
The Divine Wind Demon King looked at the sea of corpses and blood below, feeling a mix of surprise and anger.
The turn of events was completely opposite to what he had imagined.
According to his plan, by now, the Thousand Demons Cave should have destroyed the Nine Provinces, leaving only the Great Tian Imperial City, and the Shen Clan cultivator should have been handed over to the Spirit Emperor for disposal.
But now, they hadn't even truly set foot in Great Tian!
"It's time to make a move."
The Divine Wind Demon King exhaled.
Up until this moment, after sacrificing so many demonic lives, he still hadn't grasped Shen Yi's whereabouts.
After all the demons were dead, Nie Jun would withdraw, and then they would act together with Shen Yi.
Even he himself would be in danger at that time.
"I'm not going."
The Horned Demon King flapped her wings twice. She was now feeling increasingly uneasy.
She even had the illusion that Shen Yi was right beside her, watching them.
The feeling of being enveloped in crisis from head to toe was enough to make one tremble with fear.
Her premonitions had never been wrong.
"You go and try first. I'll report to the Spirit Emperor. With the Divine Wind Demon King's strength, even if Shen Yi comes in person, he may not be your match."
After saying this, the Horned Demon King turned around and wanted to leave.
"You..." The Divine Wind Demon King was suddenly praised, but he didn't feel any joy at all. Instead, he felt like he was being manipulated by this fox-like demon.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a tightness around his neck.
The Horned Demon King was pulled back by her shoulder.
"Hiss!"
The two demons tensed up as if facing a formidable enemy, and they turned around in unison.
Then, they saw that familiar handsome face.
The golden flame between his eyebrows was dazzling.
In his pitch-black eyes, the surging fiery flames emitted endless killing intent.
The Divine Wind Demon Soul stared at Shen Yi, who had his arms around the shoulders of both demons. He hadn't sensed anything at all, and what was even more unsettling was... he actually felt like he couldn't break free!
Right around the two demons.
The Green Hill Ancestor and the Dark Nether Spider Sovereign were competing to take credit: "My lord, it was I who found it. I know this Horned Demon the best."
"He's not familiar with Great Tian at all. I chose this place. My lord, please discern the truth!"
The two demon souls had been following them from two days ago.
