Chapter 475: It's Your Turn to Take Care of Them (4K2, I did encounter some issues today, my apologies)



A massacre, a family wiped out, and a clan exterminated.

Such actions were no different from those of demonic cultivators, yet they were carried out by an Immortal Sect.

The various cultivators from Qinghai Prefecture, along with the Water Moon Trading Alliance's offerings, had complex expressions on their faces. They were involved in the matter and understood the reasons, but other forces were unaware.

Once this news spread, how would the various powers of Southern Hong view the Nanyang Immortal Sect?

Moreover, Peach Blossom Manor was a vassal of the Southern Yang Sect.

However, Sect Leader Shen seemed to not care about these superficial reputations. He quietly waited for the executives to search for heavenly materials and treasures within the manor.

"How strange."

Jing Jing Song shook his head inwardly.

He had initially thought that Sect Leader Shen was worried about the reputation of Peach Blossom Manor tarnishing the Nanyang Immortal Sect, which was why he had rushed over without hesitation.

But now it seemed that he didn't care about such reputations.

Why, then, did he take such ruthless actions? Could it be because of the mountain of white bones in the deep pit or the pitiful mortals on the cliff walls? Sect Leader Shen didn't appear to be a benevolent person.

After more than ten Green Lion Spirit Puppets were packed in, the executives brought Shen Yi back to the deep pit and pointed to the bead in the sky, "Sect Leader Shen, this object is the source of the grand formation laid down by Peach Blossom Manor. Although the means are cruel and vicious, this bead is indeed a precious treasure."

It had allowed a Tenth Level Returning to Emptiness cultivator with depleted lifespan to live until now and maintain his cultivation realm and strength.

If it could be subdued, it would undoubtedly be an excellent assistance.

"The heart may have good and evil, but treasures do not distinguish between good and evil."

Several Water Moon Trading Alliance offerings spoke softly, their eyes fixed on the bead. They saw that the mist inside was so dense that it turned pitch-black.

No one knew how many souls were contained within, repeatedly tormented, and the accumulated vengeful qi was unimaginable, continuously growing, truly terrifying.

"..."

Shen Yi raised his eyes and then lightly waved his sleeve.

In the stunned gazes of the crowd, a golden flame shot out like an arrow, bursting with a sharp and piercing sound, and instantly pierced through the bead.

Crack!

Amidst the crisp shattering sound, endless mist surged out, once again darkening the sky.

Within the billowing clouds, there seemed to be countless hideous faces.

Each strand of qi was incredibly weak, as if it could be crushed with a snap of the fingers, but the sheer number of them was not to be underestimated.

"Sect Leader..."

Jing Jing Song opened his mouth slightly. Aside from others, even he, with his carefree and carefree mind, instinctively felt a heartache.

The value of this bead might be worth more than the entire Peach Blossom Manor combined.

Sect Leader Shen's thoughts were indeed difficult for others to fathom.

As the bead shattered, the grand formation in this place also quietly dissipated.

The figures on the cliff walls opened their eyes in unison, but their eyes still held the same struggling and sorrowful expression, as if immersed in an illusion from which they couldn't escape.

"These people are finished." Nie Jun withdrew his gaze.

"..."

Shen Yi's face showed no change.

This matter had nothing to do with him. He would help as much as he could, just seeking to fulfill his heart's desire.

After a brief moment of contemplation, he raised his palm again.

A golden bead floated out from his palm and moved to where the black mist bead had been. Golden threads wove and gathered, condensing into a dark golden divine form over ten zhang tall.

The towering and mighty Imprisonment Golden Body sat cross-legged, its thin, cicada-wing-like feathered cloak gently fluttering.

"What is this?!"

The Southern Yang Sect executives' faces changed drastically.

Although the aura of this divine form was only at the Divine Transformation Realm, they still exclaimed in surprise, "The Righteous Deity Path?"

"The thing I promised you earlier."

Shen Yi spoke softly in his heart, then condensed two Demon Origins and fed them to Qinghua Furen.

"Thank you for my master's grace! Qinghua is ashamed!" Qinghua Furen's voice trembled with emotion, and she had a tearful tone. It had been a long time since she had been able to help her master, and now she was even receiving a reward.

"Help these people dispel their grudges, and those wronged souls as well. After the task is done, return." Shen Yi nodded and turned to leave the deep pit.

"Qinghua will obey my master's decree!" Qinghua Furen vowed with enthusiasm.

After everyone returned to Peach Blossom Manor, Shen Yi turned back and asked, "What is the Righteous Deity Path?"

Jing Jing Song was taken aback and explained, "As cultivators, we all respectfully refer to the nobles of the Heavenly Court as deities, but in reality, they are two completely different existences: the Righteous Deities and the Immortals."

"The so-called Righteous Deities are formed by the accumulation of merit and incense, gaining the recognition of the Heavenly Court, and thus achieving the immortal and eternal Great Dao."

"Immortals, on the other hand, are different. They roam the four seas, cultivating their own Dao fruits. Compared to the Righteous Deities, their relationship with the Heavenly Court is not as close, and they are more like officials serving on behalf of the court."

"If not for the special circumstances of Hongze, even the leaders of the Southern Hong Seven Sons would have the opportunity to ascend to the Heavenly Court and become Immortals."

Jing Jing Song himself only had a vague understanding of these matters. He stopped speaking and sighed, "The object Sect Leader Shen summoned earlier seemed to have the essence of the Righteous Deity Path."

Shen Yi listened quietly, deepening his understanding of this world.

When he had cultivated the Ascending Palace Art, he learned the distinction between the Heavens and Earth and the Heavenly Court.

He had already received the gifts of the Heavens and Earth, yet he had not truly encountered the so-called Heavenly Court.

Of course, thinking about this now was still a bit too early.

He just found it interesting that the Yin Shen cultivators, who were considered deviants within the Nanyang Sacred Land, seemed to be treated more formally outside.

Shen Yi gathered his focus, summoned his flying sword, and left Peach Blossom Manor with over ten Green Lion Spirit Puppets.

...

The Southern Flood Seven Sons.

Shen Yi's journey with numerous cultivators had already attracted the attention of many.

After receiving the message, many figures within the caves slowly opened their eyes.

Until the aura on the other end of the jade slip was extinguished.

This matter suddenly became much more peculiar.

An outer gate elder and executive of the Southern Flood Seven Sons had died outside, involving the Heavenly Sword, Clear Moon, and Double Unmatched Sects, the three allied sects.

The location where they died also implicated the Nanyang Sect's Sect Leader Shen.

"What happened?"

The greatest reaction came from the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Elder Liu slowly strode out of the light screen, and the unexpected death of an outer gate elder was a significant matter for any sect.

Several of his direct disciples gathered, discussing in hushed tones, "We heard that the Peach Blossom Manor was covered by the Five Elements Lotus Formation of the Clear Moon Sect, blocking the eyes and ears of others. Perhaps we need to send someone else to investigate."

"Since the Nanyang Sect is involved, why don't we just ask Sect Leader Shen directly?"

Elder Liu narrowed his eyes slightly. As a cultivator from White Jade Capital, it was rare for him to leave the sect.

Just then, a red figure quietly blocked his path.

"Elder Liu, let me handle this small matter."

"..."

Liu Xingshan slowly stopped and looked ahead, his gaze falling on the graceful figure of a woman.

Her delicate face had skin as white as snow, and her slender figure was accentuated by a fitted red dress. The crimson sword pattern between her eyebrows added a touch of sharpness.

Her cultivation was considered exceptional among the younger generation.

Although she had not ascended to White Jade Capital, she had surpassed the Full Perfection stage and possessed the cultivation of the Eleventh Level of Returning to Emptiness.

This woman had a unique identity. Although she was a direct disciple of the sect leader, she was not the heir to the Converged Dao Site.

However, her reputation in Hongze was even greater than that of some of the elders in White Jade Capital.

She was the Heavenly Sword Fairy, Su Yushang.

"That's fine."

Liu Xingshan hesitated for a moment and nodded.

He watched as Su Yushang bowed and left, then looked up at the sky, and indeed, a crimson phoenix flew past through the clouds.

"Why did you stop him?"

The crimson phoenix descended from the sky, transforming into a woman wearing a long crimson robe. Although she was not as beautiful as the Heavenly Sword Fairy, her figure was full, exuding a mature and elegant aura.

"My sister said that Elder Liu is too hasty, and now that he has encountered something, he wants to blame it on the Nanyang Sect. We need to calm him down a little."

Su Yushang shook her head and smiled, "I'll have to trouble Blood Master to accompany me."

"Why are you being so polite with me? If it weren't for your guarantee, I wouldn't have had the chance to leave that prison." The crimson phoenix looked at her with pity.

"..." Su Yushang sighed softly and comforted her, "After the Seven Sons Conference is over, I'll discuss it with my sister to see if we can take you outside for a walk. It's been a long time since I've visited the Treasure Flower Sect, and I don't know if that girl has missed me."

"Let me tell you, that Treasure Flower Fairy is not as peaceful as others perceive her to be. She's very interesting, and she will definitely attend the Seven Sons Conference. I'll introduce her to you then."

"Okay." The crimson phoenix nodded gently.

The two women chatted and left the Heavenly Sword Sect, heading towards the direction of the Nanyang Bas-relief.

When they arrived, there were already other figures waiting.

They were an outer gate elder from the Double Unmatched Sect and several executives from the Clear Moon Sect.

"Disciple greets the Heavenly Sword Fairy."

The group bowed and greeted them, then looked at the crimson phoenix and nodded, "Blood Master."

Liu Qianyun's face showed a hint of strangeness.

This crimson phoenix dared to come to the Nanyang Sect; didn't she fear that Sect Leader Shen would close the gates, and together with Senior Xuanqing, they would pluck out all her feathers, dismember her, and drain her blood without wasting a single drop?

"..."

Zheng Qian pouted. In front of these two new arrivals, even though she was confident about her appearance, she couldn't help but feel a little intimidated.

The Heavenly Sword Fairy returned the greeting seriously, also observing the crowd.

Just from the identities of the cultivators sent, it was clear that the Double Unmatched Sect was taking this matter seriously, while the Clear Moon Sect seemed a bit perfunctory.

As for the Heavenly Sword Sect... if she hadn't intervened, Elder Liu's personal involvement would have undoubtedly escalated the situation, with a strong sense of targeting.

But after a while, everyone had calmed down.

They realized a problem: no one was paying attention to them.

The entire Nanyang Sect was silent, as if they were ignoring the group's presence.

The Heavenly Sword Sect's Su Yushang has come to request an audience with Sect Leader Shen."

Su Yushang bowed once more, but the outcome remained unchanged.

Her smile became slightly stiff.

It was hard to imagine that someone from the Southern Flood Seven Sons would actually refuse her entry, and she wondered who was managing this formation.

At the same time, inside the Nanyang Ancestor Hall.

Xuanqing lazily lifted his eyes, feeling a bit annoyed, so he used a formation to block his senses.

Before the Sect Leader left, he had instructed Xuanqing to guard the formation.

But he didn't specify who could enter and who couldn't. Since it was a request to see Sect Leader Shen, and the Sect Leader wasn't present, Xuanqing decided to ignore it.

Day turned to night.

Even Liu Qianyun, who trusted Shen Yi the most, felt a bit flustered at this moment.

What did it mean to stay indoors and not come out?

Could this matter really be related to the Nanyang Sect?

Just then, the jade slips on several people's bodies lit up simultaneously.

"The Nanyang Sect Leader's family was exterminated, and the entire Peach Blossom Manor was littered with corpses, leaving no survivors."

"Our sect's executive was among them, and his head was shattered."

The jade slips returned to their calm state.

But the people present fell into silence.

Su Yushang glanced at Xuan Feng, and suddenly felt a bit of regret. Perhaps she should have let Liu Elder handle this matter today.

"No way?"

Zheng Qian tugged at Liu Qianyun's sleeve.

After all, the Clear Moon Sect had never offended Sect Leader Shen. Even if the executive had offended Shen Yi, they should have at least informed the Clear Moon Sect after taking action.

Could it be that when they were in decline, they relied on the Clear Moon Sect, but as soon as they gained some momentum, they immediately put on airs as the Sect Leader?

"He's not like that."

Liu Qianyun clenched her teeth, took a deep breath, and looked up at the sky.

They didn't have to wait long.

Soon, led by a Dark Light Crimson Sword, over ten Green Lion Spirit Puppets slowly stopped in the clouds.

"Double Unmatched Sect's Shang DeNian pays his respects to Sect Leader Shen."

The outer gate elder stepped forward and bowed solemnly, leaving no room for criticism.

Then, he spoke bluntly, "I am here on behalf of the Double Unmatched Sect's decree. I'd like to inquire about the matter of our sect's executive's demise at Peach Blossom Manor. If it's convenient for Sect Leader Shen, could you reveal some details so that I can report back?"

Su Yushang didn't speak but quietly looked at the youth.

The Double Unmatched Sect clearly didn't want to cause a scene. Although they maintained a professional demeanor, they gave the Nanyang Sect enough face.

Of course, it was easy for them to tell if the Nanyang Sect was making excuses.

"..."

Even with a renowned fairy standing below, the numerous Nanyang Sect executives struggled to avert their gazes.

As expected, what was bound to happen eventually did.

The main issue was that there was no precedent for this situation. According to reason, a sect leader killing a disciple of an allied sect was hardly worth mentioning.

But no sect leader had ever done such a thing.

The allied sect was probably just as confused.

Shen Yi looked down, his gaze sweeping over Xuan Feng.

The dignified and elegant woman frowned and quietly adjusted her slightly open robe, covering the exposed white area.

Just then, Liu Qianyun took a step forward, biting her lip and staring intently at the tall figure on the Dark Light Flying Sword. Her voice trembled slightly, "Can you..."

Before she could finish.

Shen Yi casually tossed a book, saying indifferently, "Give them an explanation as soon as possible."

After speaking, he seemed reluctant to stay longer and, accompanied by the Green Lion Spirit Puppets, he directly entered the holographic screen.

With delicious food right before their eyes, but unable to eat it, it was better not to see it and avoid the frustration.

After the Nanyang Sect executives, who had returned with a full load, disappeared, everyone else was left in shock.

They had come here, not just to seek an explanation from the Nanyang Sect, but also to inquire about the specific situation.

They never expected that the Nanyang Sect would ask them for an explanation first!

Was this not backwards?

Liu Qianyun put aside her anxiety and carefully read the book in her hand.

The shocking numbers caused her pupils to constrict.

Upon seeing the familiar name, she clenched her teeth and looked up at the Nanyang formation, "I'll go back and report to my father right away and give Sect Leader Shen a satisfactory answer!"

After speaking, she handed the book to the Heavenly Sword Fairy, "Please read it yourself, I won't stay any longer."

Su Yushang took the book but didn't read it immediately.

Instead, she stared at Blood Master thoughtfully, "So it turns out that Sect Leader Shen has a liking for someone like you."

As a renowned fairy of Hongze, she was very sensitive to the gaze of the opposite sex.

From start to finish, Shen Yi only looked at two people: first Xuan Feng and then Liu Qianyun... not even sparing her a glance.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Xuan Feng glared at her and tightened her robe slightly.

But as she withdrew her gaze, a hint of strangeness flashed in her eyes.
