Chapter 476: Pure and Honest
Chapter 476: Pure and Honest
The three major immortal sects arrived at the doorstep, seeking an audience.
Many perceptive disciples subtly sensed something amiss.
The tragic annihilation of Peach Blossom Manor and the mysterious demise of the Southern Flood Seven's executives and outer gate elders was supposed to be a significant event that would shake the Southern Flood.
However, including the Heavenly Sword Fairy, the cultivators who went to inquire at the Southern Yang Sect, surprisingly returned to their respective sects with furrowed brows.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, they didn't create any conflicts with the Southern Yang Sect.
Instead, they swiftly captured several disciples and outer gate elders.
"Damn it!"
Elder Liu of the Heavenly Sword Sect slowly clenched his fists.
He wasn't concerned about the specifics of what had happened; he only knew that such a rare opportunity had been squandered so easily.
This Heavenly Sword Fairy was truly generous.
Using the lives of her sect's outer gate elders to do favors for others was truly admirable.
"..."
As a cultivator from White Jade Capital, Liu Xing Shan rarely showed his emotions on his face.
But at this moment, his eyelids twitched, and his eyes revealed a scene from not long ago.
When he learned that the Nanyang Treasure Land had reappeared, he immediately presented his Dao token and went to see a group of low-cultivation mortals.
He had praised them, going against his conscience, saying they possessed the Dragon's Physique.
He remembered that back then, the youth named Shen had only been at the first level of Returning to Emptiness, and the two strongest cultivators within the Nanyang Treasure Land were also only at the first level. Wearing the Nanyang white robe, Shen was probably slightly stronger than those two, but not by much.
At most, he would be considered an inner sect disciple in the Heavenly Sword Sect.
But the events that had transpired recently had suddenly robbed Liu Xing Shan of his usual composure.
The Southern Yang Sect, once a group of low-cultivation natives, had mysteriously become powerful enough to annihilate Peach Blossom Manor.
Of course, in Liu Xing Shan's eyes, Peach Blossom Manor wasn't a major force.
However, the Southern Yang Sect's astonishing rise to power instilled a deep sense of fear.
This couldn't be brushed off with a simple "they had a deep accumulation."
The current Shen Yi reminded Liu Xing Shan of the past Xuanqing, and he was someone who possessed a Converged Dao Site.
It was too late!
As this thought flashed through his mind, beads of sweat appeared on Liu Xing Shan's forehead.
He had actually felt threatened by a mid-stage Returning to Emptiness cultivator.
At this thought, Liu Xing Shan slowly stood up and walked towards the holographic screen.
Just as he was about to step out,
A slender little hand suddenly reached in, and its fingers flicked his shoulder.
"Hey!"
Liu Xing Shan looked down at the small hand that had just withdrawn from his shoulder, and the sweat on his forehead increased.
"I'm telling you, is your brain filled with dung?"
As the voice sounded, a petite figure floated in, appearing to be only seven or eight years old.
She had her hands behind her back, standing on a jade gourd.
Wearing a long robe that was obviously much too big, she looked both comical and endearing.
But on this cute face, there was an air of dominance.
Even facing the only eighth-ranked White Jade Capital Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect, she maintained a condescending attitude.
"I sent someone to call you, and you didn't understand, right?"
She twisted Liu Xing Shan's relaxed face, then patted it gently, "At a time like this, don't cause me trouble, can you understand? Nod if you do."
Crack, crack.
Liu Xing Shan clenched his fists, and his eyes almost blazed with anger.
He felt a surge of resentment, like he was being bullied in his old age.
But unfortunately, at seven or eight years old, this girl was at the peak of her reincarnation, the strongest she had ever been. Her divine sword was forged, and its edge was unstoppable.
"I just wanted to go out for a walk," Liu Xing Shan said, closing his eyes.
Seeing this, the petite girl raised her eyebrows and smiled, her voice crisp, "Who cares?"
Leaving these words behind, she wiped her hand, which had patted the old man's face, on his robe, then turned and walked away from the holographic screen.
She left Liu Xing Shan standing there, his breathing slightly chaotic.
His eyes now held a stronger desire for the Converged Dao Site.
...
Southern Yang Sect.
Xuanqing held the book, using his fingertips to erase the names of the Puppet Sect and Peach Blossom Manor.
The sect leader had just received this book, and already two out of one hundred and eighty-two sects were gone.
In any allied sect, this would be a major issue requiring accountability.
Unfortunately, within the Nanyang Treasure Land, no one could control Sect Leader Shen.
As for Xuanqing himself, he didn't even bother asking many questions. Based on his observations of Sect Leader Shen over the past few days, he believed that she had her reasons for her actions.
"Be careful," Xuanqing said, looking to the side, reminding her once more.
As the saying goes, a tall tree catches the wind. Sect Leader Shen's tree wasn't particularly large, but it was growing rapidly.
The heirs of the allied sects' sacred lands had their own means to deter other White Jade Capital cultivators.
Sect Leader Shen obviously didn't have that kind of strength, especially since she wasn't just facing cultivators from one sect.
"Okay."
Shen Yi looked at the Ancestor Statue.
This should be the only Fusion Realm master in every immortal sect, but the Southern Yang Sect's statue was now just an ordinary one.
It was impossible to be completely calm.
So far, Shen Yi had yet to witness the true might of a White Jade Capital Cultivator, and had no idea how to deal with them.
But Shen Yi was well aware that panicking wouldn't help.
It was better to improve his strength, so that when a real crisis arrived, he would have a better chance of survival.
[Killing the Azure Dragon Savage Crocodile in the Return Void Realm, total lifespan of 217,000 years, remaining lifespan of 126,000 years, absorption completed]
[Remaining Demon Beast Lifespan: 495,000 years]
The trip to Peach Blossom Manor, where he encountered a group of aquatic demon beasts, somewhat made up for Shen Yi's lack of foundation. Including the two Demon Beast Origins given to Qinghua, it exceeded 500,000 years.
Although the number of demon beasts was small and their cultivation was relatively low, the overall quality of their lifespans was clearly a level higher than those in Dragon Fish Pavilion.
"Whose weapon is this?"
Shen Yi took out a long-handled saber from his ring, which was seized from the Azure Dragon General.
Xuanqing examined it carefully and sighed lightly, "Southern Dragon Palace..."
He didn't quite understand how Sect Leader Shen managed to surround himself with enemies as soon as he set foot in Southern Flood.
"Is there a reason?"
If it were a personal grudge like Sea-crossing General, the problem wouldn't be too big.
"There is, and there isn't."
Shen Yi put the long-handled saber back into his ring.
For the Southern Hong Seven Sons and Dragon Palace, unless they crossed a line, nothing else would be considered a valid reason, let alone the lives of ordinary mortals.
"Then it's troublesome."
Xuanqing closed his eyes. Even if he only had a wooden body now, he wouldn't dare to easily disrupt the balance between the Southern Hong Seven Sons and Dragon Palace, even in his prime.
To put it simply, if Sect Leader Shen could casually kill a Dragon Palace General today, then tomorrow, Dragon Palace could kill a direct disciple of an Immortal Sect.
Once they started a real conflict, there would be no peace in Southern Flood.
It might even drag in the other Dragon Palaces.
"Let's not talk about what happens next. The most urgent matter now is to ensure your safety."
"You'll need at least one White Jade Capital Cultivator to protect you. Otherwise, try not to leave the Nanyang Treasure Land."
Dragon Palace Generals were under the command of Dragon Sons and Grandsons, and those who were used to dominating Southern Flood wouldn't willingly endure indignities.
Although not every Dragon Son and Grandson had White Jade Capital strength, the situation had to be considered from the worst-case scenario.
"Hmm."
What Shen Yi lacked the most right now was the Demon Beast Stone. The resources within Nanyang Treasure Land alone couldn't support his Boundless Demon Imperial Palace.
But White Jade Capital Cultivators... they weren't easy to invite.
Just then, several figures returned to the Nanyang relief sculpture.
In addition to the familiar Yan Wencheng and Liu Qianyun, the one walking at the forefront was a face Shen Yi had seen before.
The middle-aged man with a slightly serious demeanor stabilized his stance and bowed politely, "Lingyun Sect's Liu Shiqian, here to pay respects to the Nanyang Sect Leader."
He had once said that if Shen Yi needed any help, he could come to him.
But he never expected that before Shen Yi could go to Lingyun Sect to find him, Liu Shiqian had come to Nanyang Sect first.
"Well, a White Jade Capital Cultivator is here." Xuanqing smiled, glancing sideways.
"..."
Shen Yi didn't think he had such a high status that a Lingyun Sect Elder would proactively come to protect him.
Moreover, he had just killed the Lingyun Sect Executive with his own hands.
He stood up, waved his hand to dismiss the formation, and then his figure swiftly moved out of the Ancestor Hall. He returned the bow and said in a calm voice, "Please come in, Elder Liu."
"Hiss."
Looking at the tall figure in the air, Liu Qianyun felt a bit overwhelmed by the honor.
Even the Heavenly Sword Fairy hadn't received such treatment, yet her father, this old man, did.
To be personally welcomed by the Sect Leader was an extraordinary honor.
Although this Sect Leader's cultivation was somewhat low, his status had been acknowledged by the other six Fusion Realm experts.
Moreover, she was somewhat aware of Shen Yi's aloof temperament.
"Sect Leader, you're too kind."
Liu Shiqian, not used to it, smiled and slowly retracted his palms, gazing at Shen Yi with a hint of admiration.
He truly hadn't expected that in such a short time, Shen Yi would undergo such a dramatic transformation, making him feel a bit unfamiliar.
Wearing the Nanyang White Robe, Shen Yi no longer had the disheveled appearance covered in bloodstains from before; instead, he exuded an extraordinary bearing, faintly resembling the silhouette of a sect leader.
Liu Shiqian retracted his gaze and spoke softly, "Today, I've come primarily to thank Sect Leader Shen for helping Lingyun Sect eliminate a hidden danger and prevent further tragedies."
"Additionally, Lingyun Sect is mindful of the fact that the Yan Family was once taken over by us. Given our familiarity, since Sect Leader Shen is new here, I, Liu Shiqian, will guide and introduce you to a few things."
This time, Liu Shiqian didn't conceal his aura.
The atmosphere among the Southern Hong Seven Sons had become extremely strange, and some of their ambitions were now out in the open.
Since he was already ostracized by his fellow Daoists, perhaps there was no need to hide anything.
By following his heart, his mind would become clear.
"..."
Shen Yi stood in mid-air, calmly observing the powerful cultivator before him. After a long silence, he bowed again with sincerity, "Thank you, Elder Liu. Shen Yi is grateful."
