Chapter 450: Two Old Hands and a Big Grudge
Chapter 450: Two Old Hands and a Big Grudge
Ever since Zhang Laifu had followed Shen Yi, his combat skills had been influenced by his master to some extent.
In the instant the catfish was cleaved open by a palm blade, it buried its head into the catfish's body and retrieved a demon core, looking up at its master expectantly with wide eyes, as if waiting for praise.
"..."
Shen Yi hastily adjusted his breathing, forcefully suppressing the pill poison's corrosion.
Even the fingertips hidden within his sleeves trembled slightly.
He helplessly glanced at Zhang Laifu.
After all, he was used to swallowing demon cores whole, and although he knew that this was a transformed tranquilizing stone, the thought of retrieving a demon core from a dog's mouth still made him feel a bit uncomfortable.
"Let's go back."
Shen Yi took the demon core and, along with the corpse, stored them in his sleeve and finger ring.
Then, he headed downwards.
The golden flames that enveloped his body dissipated and merged into the Golden Phoenix within him.
He raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the Earth City.
Zhang Laifu had already arranged the remaining three corpses of the aquatic clan neatly.
After several rounds of combat, his skills had improved significantly.
However, thinking about his cultivation level being close to the fifth layer of Returning Void, it seemed normal, but previously, he had been too hesitant, creating a stark contrast.
He casually collected the three corpses as well.
Shen Yi strode towards the Earth City.
"Ah..."
Treasure Blossom Immortal slightly opened her mouth, staring blankly at the figure approaching her.
She had witnessed many powerful cultivators in action, and there were many elders and senior disciples in her sect whose cultivation far surpassed hers. However, when they performed their techniques, they usually did so with grace and restraint, stopping just short of their full potential.
This was the first time she had seen someone as decisive and ruthless as Shen Yi, who had just displayed a bloody and brutal display of power.
After the golden flames dissipated, the murderous aura surrounding the youth vanished without a trace, and he returned to his previous calm demeanor.
"Give it to me."
It was only when Shen Yi reached out his hand towards her that Treasure Blossom Immortal snapped out of her daze. She felt a bit embarrassed and said, "Thank you for keeping my secret."
Even in that dire situation, Shen Yi had not directly mentioned the name "Treasure Blossom Pill," clearly understanding her concerns.
He seemed quiet, but his thoughts were surprisingly considerate and meticulous.
"I didn't bring it with me, but I'll give it to you when we return to the sect. Trust me!"
As she spoke, she made a decision and leaned in, bringing her red lips close to Shen Yi's ear, "I'm a Treasure Blossom Immortal from the Treasure Blossom Sect..."
Before she could finish her sentence, five slender fingers pressed against her face, pushing her away mercilessly.
"I'm not interested. I only want the pill."
Shen Yi glanced at her indifferently. It was better to be aware of certain things and not listen to everything, as it could bring unnecessary trouble.
Someone with such a well-known reputation was like a piece of dung in a swarm of flies.
Approaching them would only result in getting covered in filth, with no benefits.
"I understand..."
Treasure Blossom Immortal dejectedly lowered her arms, "I just wanted to tell you, and I thought you might be able to help me since you seem so experienced."
"I don't want to see them perish, but I also don't dare to cause trouble for my master."
"She has been kind to me, and she's a lonely old lady. At her age, I can't ask her to come out and fight others."
Evidently, even with her limited experience, she had grasped the complexity of the situation.
There was a mid-stage Returning Void aquatic clan member watching over Xiao Family Fort.
Yet, they hadn't taken advantage of the Treasure Blossom Sect's lack of response and seized it.
They surrounded it but did not slaughter.
It seemed as if they were following orders, guarding Xiao Family Fort and protecting something.
But these aquatic clans did not have any obvious identification marks on their bodies.
The unknown was more worrying.
"I, I have a way!"
Just then, a cushion wobbled and floated back through the air.
Mr. Zhang leaped down from the sky, first looking at Senior Shen with a mix of fear and admiration, then turning to look at the Treasure Blossom Sect Immortal Maiden.
"Senior Green Jade, you're just thinking of saving people, not really fighting them. I can find a place to relocate these people, but it's a bit expensive."
"That's not a problem," the Treasure Blossom Immortal Maiden said with a delighted expression.
As the future heir to the sect leader, a half-step late phase Return to Void cultivator, she had no shortage of heavenly treasures and earthly treasures.
"Besides the price, I must also act as a loose cultivator and exterminate the aquatic clans guarding this place. It has to be done quickly and cleanly!" Although Mr. Zhang was greedy for wealth, he was also afraid of death.
If he hadn't witnessed Shen Yi's strength and methods, he would never have dared to get involved in this messy situation.
Upon hearing this, the Treasure Blossom Immortal Maiden paused for a moment, then looked at Shen Yi with teary eyes and said in a soft voice, "Fellow Daoist Shen... Little sister has one more thing..."
"I won't fight anyone stronger than those I just defeated."
Shen Yi didn't even bother to glance at her, saying indifferently, "The price is the same as before, but you can use other heavenly treasures and earthly treasures as payment."
Hearing this, the Treasure Blossom Immortal Maiden's face turned deathly pale.
Although she had some family resources, she was just a personal disciple after all.
She hesitated for a moment, gritting her teeth. "Mmhmm!"
Then, she added, "If there's someone you can't beat, I'll handle it myself! Just focus on escaping at that time."
While she was concerned about causing trouble for her master, she was still the Treasure Blossom Immortal Maiden... If things got tough, she could always seek help from the Southern Hong Seven Sons. Who didn't have a powerful ally in the background?
The Heavenly Sword Sect Elder had always wanted to introduce her to his disciples.
Anyway, the words were already spoken, and it didn't matter if it was impossible.
"Junior will take care of it right away."
Hearing this, Mr. Zhang appeared tense, but inside, he was already overjoyed, barely holding back his laughter.
As expected! It's that person! It's like a pie falling from the sky. Just by going out for a walk, he could bump into the Treasure Blossom Sect's future greatest backer.
Seeing her nervousness, it was clear that she lacked experience.
Even Mr. Zhang could tell that the aquatic clans here might have a powerful influence, but there must be some reason they couldn't show themselves.
With the Treasure Blossom Immortal Maiden here, today might not be as dangerous as expected.
Thinking of this, he turned to look at Shen Yi, who seemed to have a blank expression, as if he didn't understand anything.
Tsk, it had to be Senior Shen. This business acumen was something he could learn from for a lifetime.
"..."
Shen Yi withdrew and walked away from the two of them, heading towards the earthen city.
Quietly tallying his gains.
Including the two Dragon Palace aquatic clans he had killed on the boat earlier, there were a total of two second layer Return to Void, four third layer Return to Void, and one fourth layer Return to Void, amounting to 320,000 years, plus more than ten Spirit Transformation Realm.
Together, they brought a terrifying 570,000 years of demonic mortal lifespan.
【Remaining Demonic Mortal Lifespan: 756,000 years】
Even if they were all condensed into third rank and above Binding Stones, based on the average consumption of demonic origin, it was enough for exactly ten of them.
The most absurd thing was that, up to this point, he hadn't gotten involved in any trouble.
Someone was sending him heavenly treasures and earthly treasures while taking on all the responsibility, and was even prepared to back him up at any time.
It had to be said that the outside cultivators were quite decent.
