Chapter 459: Shen Zongzhu, Who Can't Afford Monthly Allowances
Chapter 459: Shen Zongzhu, Who Can't Afford Monthly Allowances
As the blood-filled sky calified and the Infinite Demon Emperor Palace vanished, clarity returned to the horizon.
The golden flames merged into the black-robed youth's attire.
The scorching temperature around gradually returned to normal.
Liu Qianyun secretly slipped the letter into her sleeve, sensing a premonition that when her father gave her this edict, he probably intended it to handle minor troubles within the executive hall.
But looking at Shen Yi's current behavior...
This edict might very well end up in the hands of another powerful cultivator from White Jade Capital.
She was starting to feel confused.
Each time they parted and met again, it was as if she encountered a different cultivator.
The dividing line between the initial and middle stages seemed like a joke in front of him.
The most terrifying part was that upon careful analysis, it still seemed perfectly reasonable.
The Spirit Body Technique, which had already reached completion, combined with the two levels of the Heavenly Palace and the mystical techniques that could only be seen in the hands of a Celestial Prodigy, were not things that ordinary cultivators could come into contact with.
"What's wrong with you?"
Yan Wencheng snapped out of his astonishment and looked at Ye Wenxuan, who was wiping her forehead beside him.
"Nothing, nothing... It's a bit cold..."
Ye Wenxuan was now terrified, having narrowly escaped death just a few days ago when she had walked the path between life and death.
If she had slipped up and revealed the matter of the Crimson Blood Phoenix Essence, she might have been among those engulfed by the flames just now.
"..."
Chen Zilong stared blankly at a certain spot in the main hall.
His body suddenly felt weak, leaning against the coffin. The sudden loss of his father, followed by his brother, all because he had inadvertently witnessed Chen Ziqi's secret meeting with the demoness.
He wanted to fulfill both parties, yet also wanted to protect the Chen family.
In the end, he failed to achieve either.
With his cultivation at the third level of Return to Void, praised by his clan as the Dragon Son of the Chen family, he was still insignificant in the eyes of the Woman of Dragonfish Pavilion and the Southern Hong Seven Sons.
The Woman of Dragonfish Pavilion had died here, and someone had to accompany her in death.
Chen Zilong glanced fearfully at the many clan members, unsure of how to face them.
"Don't just stand there."
Zheng Qian secretly walked over and kicked him, saying, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, Shen Zongzhu is currently short-staffed."
It was obvious to anyone with a brain that the Heavenly Sword Sect wouldn't turn against the Southern Dragon Palace just for the sake of the Chen family.
After all, while their raw strength might not be inferior to the Southern Dragon Palace, they shouldn't forget that the other three Dragon Palaces backed them.
If one could oppose the four great Dragon Palaces alone, they might as well be called the Hongze Seven Fathers instead of the Southern Hong Seven Sons.
Since the Southern Dragon Palace had agreed to this matter and given this place to the Dragonfish Pavilion, the aquatic treasures exchanged must have already been delivered to the Heavenly Sword Sect.
It was just a simple transaction, not a big deal, and at most, the Southern Hong Seven Sons might lose some face.
It was a pity for the people below, as their lives were likely forfeit.
"Zongzhu Shen!"
Upon hearing these three words, Chen Zilong felt like he had grasped the last straw of hope, not even considering the authenticity of the situation.
He stumbled out of the main hall.
He knelt behind Shen Yi, bowing deeply, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have hidden Ziqi and the Aquatic Clan's matters from the upper sect. But I truly didn't involve Ziqi in any Chen family affairs, and we really didn't betray the Southern Hong Seven Sons!"
"All the mistakes are mine alone."
"Please, Zongzhu Shen, spare my clan... Spare their lives... They truly know nothing..."
Hearing this, Shen Yi turned back, puzzled.
After a moment's contemplation, Shen Yi spoke softly, "Can you work?"
Chen Zilong stopped kowtowing, surprised for several breaths. "We can do anything!"
"Don't you want the monthly allowance?" Shen Yi suddenly became a little interested.
"We don't need it! We will even pay tribute to the sect, and we dare not delay for a day!" Chen Zilong clenched his fist in a vow.
The Southern Yang Sect was truly in dire need of people.
The only one who could barely be considered an executive was the Elder Yu.
Although the Chen family's strength wasn't particularly strong, they did have a few cultivators at the Fourth Layer of Returning to Void.
"..."
Shen Yi lightly tapped his chin. "Fine."
After all, this would be his future Fusion Dao Land, and it had to be able to operate, even if only barely.
However, he didn't know that this simple word 'fine' had left all the Chen family members in the hall stunned.
They immediately knelt down, overwhelmed with gratitude, and their excited shouts filled the air.
They had thought they were doomed, but now they saw a glimmer of hope.
"Let's go quickly. If the Dragonfish Pavilion really comes, it'll be troublesome... unless you have some other means."
Zheng Qian suppressed the shock in her heart and quickly walked up to Shen Yi.
"Retreat."
Shen Yi didn't hesitate at all.
Don't be fooled by how easily he just killed that Sixth Layer of Returning to Void demon.
Only after witnessing the Treasure Blossom Immortal's abilities would one understand that even at the same cultivation level, there's a world of difference in strength.
If a Celestial Prodigy of the Aquatic Clan were to come, his current strength wouldn't be enough to face them.
"Gather the clan members and get on the ship!"
At Zheng Qian's command, Liu Qianyun quickly summoned the Qingyue Sect's treasure ship. After all the Chen family members boarded, she dared not hesitate and directly piloted the treasure ship towards the Southern Yang Sect.
No matter how powerful the other party's background was, it couldn't withstand the anger of having their daughter killed.
First, they had to evacuate from this place.
"So..."
Yan Wencheng suddenly felt a bit strange.
He put away the array objects he had prepared in advance. His only responsibility on this trip was to support Sect Leader Shen by standing with his arms folded.
"And help transport the Chen family cultivators?" Ye Wenxuan stood quietly in the corner, sneaking glances at Shen Yi's back.
She wanted to ask him something but didn't know how to bring it up.
As time passed...
The Qingyue Treasure Ship stopped above the Nanyang Relief.
Shen Yi led the Chen family members into the light curtain, never once turning back to look at her.
"..."
Ye Wenxuan closed her eyes.
When she left the sect, her excessive actions had caused the Southern Yang Sect to lose face.
The other party's magnanimity in not holding a grudge was already extremely generous, not to mention they had also helped her.
To hope to return... that would be too much.
"What's your relationship with him? You don't have any past, do you?" Zheng Qian noticed her strangeness and asked curiously.
Liu Qianyun's face turned bitter, and she pulled Ye Wenxuan aside. "Are you crazy? Can you talk about him behind his back now?"
Killing a Sixth Layer of Returning to Void demon with a wave of his hand, what does that imply?
In any of the Seven Sects, that would be enough to qualify for an Outer Gate Elder.
"Hmm."
Ye Wenxuan opened her eyes and forced a helpless smile. "Wenxuan is just a small cultivator who survived by luck, relying on Sect Leader Shen's strength."
"Thank you all for your help on this trip. You saved Wenxuan's life. If there's anything I can do for you in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."
"Hey."
Zheng Qian waved her hand. "Who helped? From start to finish, it was only our Sect Leader Shen fighting alone."
After speaking, she revealed a sinister smile, rolled up her sleeves, and said, "Let's go! Let's go find Cui Hao!"
