Chapter 476: Pure and Honest
Chapter 476: Pure and Honest
The three great immortal sects requested an audience.
Many astute disciples sensed that something was amiss.
The annihilation of Tao Yuan Manor and the mysterious demise of the executive and outer sect elders of Nan Hong's Seven Sons was a major event that should have shaken Nan Hong.
But, to everyone's surprise, the cultivators who went to inquire about the Nan Yang Sect, including Tian Jian Xianzi, returned with furrowed brows.
Not only did they not clash with the Nan Yang Sect as expected, but they also swiftly captured several more disciples and outer sect elders.
"Damn it!"
Elder Liu of the Tian Jian Sect clenched his fists slowly.
He didn't care about the specifics of what had transpired; he only knew that such a rare opportunity had been squandered.
That Tian Jian Xianzi was truly generous.
To offer the lives of her own outer sect elders to do someone a favor was truly commendable.
"..."
As a cultivator of the White Jade Capital, Liu Xing Shan rarely showed his emotions.
But at this moment, his eyelids twitched, and his eyes reflected a scene from not long ago.
When he learned of the reappearance of the Nanyang Treasure Land, he immediately offered his talisman and witnessed those lowly mortals.
He praised them for having the dragon's appearance, despite his better judgment.
He still remembered the strength of that young man with the surname Shen. The two strongest people in the entire Nanyang Treasure Land were only at the first layer of Returning Void, and he estimated that the man in the Nanyang white robe was slightly stronger than them but definitely not by much.
In the Tian Jian Sect, he would only be considered an inner sect disciple.
However, the events that had transpired recently had caused Liu Xing Shan to lose his usual composure.
The Nanyang Sect had mysteriously transformed from a group of low-level cultivators into a force capable of annihilating Tao Yuan Manor.
Of course, in Liu Xing Shan's eyes, Tao Yuan Manor was not a significant power.
But the Nanyang Sect's astonishing rise to power struck fear into his heart.
This was not something that could be brushed off as mere accumulation.
The current Shen Yi reminded him of the once-powerful Xuan Qing, but with the added advantage of possessing a Unity Treasure Land.
"It might be too late!"
As this thought flashed through his mind, beads of sweat formed on Liu Xing Shan's forehead.
He had actually felt threatened by a mere mid-stage Returning Void cultivator.
With this in mind, Liu Xing Shan slowly stood up and began to walk towards the light curtain.
Just as he was about to step out, a delicate little hand reached in and gently brushed his shoulder.
"Hey!"
Liu Xing Shan lowered his gaze to the small hand that had just withdrawn from his shoulder, and his brow furrowed even further.
"Are you full of crap?"
Accompanying the voice was a petite figure that floated in. She appeared to be only seven or eight years old.
She had her hands behind her back and was standing on a jade gourd.
She wore a long robe that was obviously too big for her, making her look even more adorable and mischievous.
However, her well-behaved-looking face carried an air of arrogance.
Even when facing one of the eight White Jade Capital elders of the Tian Jian Sect, she maintained a condescending attitude.
"I sent someone to call you, but you didn't understand, did you?"
As she spoke, she twisted Liu Xing Shan's loose facial skin with one hand and gently patted it, "At a time like this, don't cause me any trouble. Can you understand? Nod if you do."
Crack, crack.
Liu Xing Shan's fingers clenched tightly, and his eyes nearly burst into flames.
He felt a sense of indignation at being disrespected in his old age.
Unfortunately, the girl, who appeared to be seven or eight years old, was at the peak of her power in the cycle of reincarnation, making her the strongest she could be. Her divine sword was unstoppable.
"I just wanted to go out for some fresh air," Liu Xing Shan said, closing his eyes.
Seeing this, the petite girl raised her eyebrows and curled her lips, her crisp voice ringing out, "Who cares?"
Leaving those words behind, she slowly wiped her hand, which had just patted the old man's face, on his robe, then turned and left the light curtain without another word.
Only Liu Xing Shan was left standing there, his breathing slightly erratic.
The desire for a Unity Treasure Land in his eyes had intensified severalfold.
...
Nanyang Sect.
Xuan Qing held the booklet, using his fingertips to erase the names of the Gui Sect and Tao Yuan Manor.
Since the sect leader had taken over this booklet, two out of the one hundred and eighty-two sects had already been eliminated.
In any alliance sect, this would be a major incident that would require someone to take responsibility.
Unfortunately, within the Nanyang Treasure Land, no one could control Shen Zongzu.
As for Xuan Qing himself, he didn't even bother to ask any questions. Based on his observations of Shen Zongzu these days, he believed that the other party had his reasons.
"Be careful." Xuan Qing glanced to the side and reminded him once again.
The saying goes that a tall tree catches the wind. Shen Zongzu's tree wasn't particularly tall, but it was growing at an alarming rate.
The heirs of the treasure lands in the alliance sects all had their own ways of deterring other White Jade Capital cultivators.
Obviously, Shen Zongzu didn't have that kind of strength yet, not to mention that he had to face more than just one sect's White Jade Capital cultivators.
"Okay," Shen Yi replied, looking at the statue in front of him.
This was probably the only Unity Realm giant in each of the immortal sects, but the Nanyang Sect's statue was now just an ordinary statue.
It was impossible for him not to be anxious at all.
It would be better to improve his strength so that when a true crisis arrived, he would have more confidence in his ability to protect himself.
[Killing a Green Wyrm Fiend Dragon at the Returning Void realm, total lifespan of 217,000 years, remaining lifespan of 126,000 years, absorption complete]
[Remaining lifespan of demons: 495,000 years]
The trip to Tao Yuan Manor, where he encountered that group of aquatic demons, had supplemented Shen Yi's foundation. Including the two demon origins he gave to Qing Hua, he had acquired over 500,000 years.
Although the number of demons was small and their cultivation was low, the overall quality of their lifespan was significantly better than that of Dragon Fish Palace.
"To whom does this weapon belong?"
Shen Yi took out a long-handled battle axe from his finger cot, the one he had confiscated from the Green Dragon Fiend.
Xu Qing looked at it carefully and sighed softly, "South Dragon Palace..."
He didn't understand how Shen Zongzu, who had just arrived in Nan Hong, managed to surround himself with enemies on all sides.
"Is there a reason?"
If it was like Dao Hai, where both sides acknowledged a personal grudge, then the problem wouldn't be too big.
"There is, but there isn't."
Shen Yi put the long-handled battle axe back into his finger cot.
For the Nan Hong Seven and Dragon Palace, unless they had crossed a line with each other, nothing else would count as a reason, let alone the lives of mortals.
"Then it's troublesome."
Xu Qing closed his eyes. Even if he had his physical body now, let alone in his prime, he wouldn't dare to easily disrupt the balance between the Nan Hong Seven and Dragon Palace.
To put it simply, if Shen Zongzu could casually kill a Dragon Palace general today, then tomorrow, Dragon Palace could intercept and kill a direct disciple of an immortal sect.
Once they started a real conflict, Nan Hong would never know peace again.
It might even drag the other Dragon Palaces into the fray.
"Let's not talk about what comes after. The most important thing now is to protect yourself."
"You'll need at least one White Jade Capital cultivator to guard you. Otherwise, try not to leave the Nanyang Treasure Land."
The Dragon Palace generals were all under the jurisdiction of the Dragon Princes and Dragon Dukes; those who were used to lording over Nan Hong would not be willing to swallow their anger and stay silent.
Although not every Dragon Prince and Dragon Duke had White Jade Capital-level strength, one had to plan for the worst-case scenario.
"Hmm."
What Shen Yi lacked the most right now were demon suppression stones. Relying solely on the resources within the Nanyang Treasure Land, he couldn't afford to build his Limitless Demon Emperor Palace.
But a White Jade Capital cultivator... was not someone one could easily ask for help.
Just at that moment.
Several figures landed once more on the Nanyang bas-relief.
In addition to the familiar Yan Wencheng and Liu Qianyun, the one leading them was a middle-aged man with a solemn expression whom Shen Yi had seen before.
The man stood steadily, cupped his hands, and said, "Liushi Qian of the Clear Moon Sect pays respect to the Master of Nanyang Sect."
He had once said that if Shen Yi needed any help, he could come to him and ask.
But he never expected that before he could go to the Clear Moon Sect to find him, the other party would come to the Nanyang Sect first.
"So a White Jade Capital cultivator has arrived." Xu Qing glanced at him and smiled.
"..."
Shen Yi didn't think he had such a good relationship with the Clear Moon Sect that an elder would take the initiative to come and protect him.
Moreover, he had just killed the executive of the Clear Moon Sect with his own hands.
He stood up, waved his hand to remove the grand formation, and then his figure flashed out of the Patriarch Hall. Cupping his hands in return, he said in a gentle voice, "Please come in, Elder Liu."
"Hiss."
Looking at the tall and slender figure in the air, Liu Qianyun was so surprised that she felt flattered.
Even Heavenly Sword Immortal had not enjoyed such treatment, yet her father, this old fool, actually did.
The sect master was greeting them personally. What an honor this was.
Although this sect master's cultivation was a bit low, his identity had been acknowledged by the other six Unity Realm giants.
Moreover, she also knew a little about Shen Yi's cold temperament.
"Thank you, Sect Master," Liu Shiqian said, as he was not used to showing his smile. He slowly put away his palms and looked at Shen Yi with a slight sense of emotion.
He never thought that in such a short period of time, the other party would undergo such earth-shaking changes, making him feel a little unfamiliar.
Wearing the same Nanyang white robe, he no longer had the disheveled and bloody appearance he once did. Instead, he exuded an extraordinary aura and seemed to have the makings of a sect leader.
Liu Shiqian retracted his gaze and said softly, "Today, I came here mainly to thank Sect Master Shen for helping the Clear Moon Sect eliminate hidden dangers and prevent more tragedies."
"In addition, the Clear Moon Sect is grateful for your help with the Yan family, with whom we have had close interactions. As Sect Master Shen is new here, I, Liu Shiqian, will take you around and introduce you to some people."
This time, Liu Shiqian did not restrain his aura.
The atmosphere among the Nan Hong Seven had become extremely strange, and some people's wolfish ambitions had already been laid bare.
Anyway, he had already been ostracized by his fellow cultivators.
Perhaps there was no longer any need to hide anything.
It was better to follow his heart and let his thoughts flow freely.
"..."
Shen Yi stood in mid-air, calmly looking at the powerful cultivator before him. After a long silence, he cupped his hands again and said seriously, "Thank you, Elder Liu. Shen Yi thanks you here."
