Chapter 546: Trouble at Nanyang Sect
Chapter 546: Trouble at Nanyang Sect
The Cloud River Sect, a behemoth that had dominated this region for many years, was akin to a local emperor. Moreover, this Cloud River Sect Leader had been a powerful cultivator since the founding of the sect, which spoke volumes of his exalted status.
However, it was precisely because of this that most cultivators who had survived the chaotic slaughter of the past hundred thousand years had once benefited from the benevolence of the Purple Beard White Dragon.
"No need for formalities, saving people is the priority."
The Cloud River Sect Leader gently waved his sleeve, stopping the Purple Orchid Immortal from bowing, and instead, he performed a ritual of equal status.
For a friend from the Eastern Dragon Palace to be in trouble in the territory he governed, and for the Cloud River Sect to be completely unaware, was already embarrassing enough.
The group of cultivators on the cloud, while captivated by the Purple Orchid Immortal's beauty, also wore expressions of shame.
Even an affiliated force like the Crimson Maple Valley had to rely on the Purple Orchid Immortal, an outsider, for rescue.
It was simply laughable.
"Senior, my fellow cultivator has already returned on his own."
The Purple Orchid Immortal gave a helpless smile, gently easing everyone's anxiety.
Upon hearing this, the Cloud River Sect Leader was slightly taken aback: "The letter didn't say that a Demon Beast near the Unification Realm was involved?"
The Purple Orchid Immortal glanced sideways at Shen Yi, falling silent.
If the other party wouldn't speak, how could she know the situation? She had personally experienced the strength of that Great Demon; it was no exaggeration. Even a talented and bloodline-rich descendant of the Northern Flood like Yue Tiance would never return unscathed.
Following the Immortal's gaze, the dense crowd on the cloud all turned to look at the young man in the dark green robe.
Upon recognizing his youth, the expressions of the elders and direct disciples changed subtly.
"Do you believe it?"
Luo Changchun whispered to the person beside him.
As a Cloud River Sect Disciple, his strength, while not the best among young cultivators, was certainly top-notch. But escaping from a Demon Beast comparable to the Unification Realm was something he could barely imagine.
To his surprise, he received an unexpected response.
"I... believe it."
Luo Changchun turned in astonishment, only to see Lin You staring intently at the young man below with an unusual expression.
"It's nothing."
Lin You, realizing her own lapse, quickly shook her head and moved on from the topic.
Before coming, she had been somewhat annoyed.
After all, it took a lot of effort to finally convince the Cloud River Sect to support the Southern Flood Seven Sons, only to have the Eastern Dragon Palace suddenly appear.
Compared to this colossal entity of the Eastern Flood, the Southern Flood Seven Sons clearly had less clout.
But now, her thoughts had changed.
Looking down at that familiar handsome face and the calm demeanor... it could only be her own Nanyang Sect Leader!
It turned out that the friend from the Eastern Dragon Palace was Master Shen.
What puzzled her was how Master Shen, on his first departure from the Southern Flood, had become involved with the Eastern Dragon Palace.
"Regardless, it's a good thing he's back."
The Cloud River Sect Leader shook his head.. cultivated cultivators who outside outside the should to to very to a to to the other, to any demons.

"This strange man, no clue at all."

Lin You glanced over, " said, "What?"
Lin You turned to look at Luo Changchun, who swallowed hard, his throat dry. He had only paid more attention to the young man because Lin You had been staring at him, feeling somewhat jealous.
In that instant when Shen Yi turned around, he detected a strong sense of familiarity in the coldness of her eyes and her slender silhouette.
"That person just now, they somewhat resemble the one we saw at the Dragon Consort's birthday banquet, don't they?"
"..."
Lin You stared blankly at the sky, although such a black-robed figure without any identifying marks was a common sight, it was rare for one with such formidable strength and no possessions... it seemed there weren't many like that.
Especially the timing of that person's intervention, which happened to be when he was facing off against the Frosty Moon Tiger.
Could it be that Shen Zongzhu had been secretly protecting him and the others all along?
"If it really was that person, then I believe he could have escaped from a Fusion Dao Great Demon," Luo Changchun sighed repeatedly, after all, not everyone had the audacity to be so arrogant.
As the two conversed, the Cloud River Sect Leader had already retracted his gaze and turned back to Zilan Fairy, "Speaking of Southern Hong, I have a request."
"Please speak freely, Senior," Zilan Fairy put away the letter, planning to give it to her aunt after the matter was resolved.
"I want to ask the Dong Long Palace to mediate the Southern Hong matter. In my experience of living these years, the Southern Dragon Palace is definitely not just venting their anger, and the Qi family's eldest is definitely not simply helping the Ke family. These two families must be plotting something."
The Cloud River Sect Leader sighed, "The situation is on the brink of chaos, and our sect wants to stay out of it, but it's like a dreamer's talk. However, relying solely on the Cloud River Sect's aid won't make any difference. In my opinion, only the Dong Long Palace can intervene and suppress this trend."
Zilan Fairy pondered for a moment and nodded, "I understand. I'll send a message to my family later, and I'll ask you to pass on a message to the Seven Sons for me, telling them not to be impulsive, to be patient, and that the Dong Long Palace will definitely not stand by and watch them get into trouble."
"Rest assured, Fairy, those six seniors are not the type to cause trouble," the Cloud River Sect Leader smiled.
"That's good. Coincidentally, I also have business in Southern Hong, so I'll go there and talk to the Ke family. As for here, please take care of it for now, my aunt will send someone soon, and we'll find out if there's any connection to the Ten Thousand Demon Hall."
After speaking, Zilan looked at Yue Tiance with a slight apology, "Sorry to trouble you, let's go."
"Why are you being so polite with me? My brother, because of that incident, has no hope of achieving Fusion Dao, but under the Fusion Dao, even the top-ranked Dao Soldier Register, including the former Xue Yan, wouldn't dare to look at him twice, especially in a small place like Southern Hong, nothing will happen."
Yue Tiance didn't seem too anxious, he was eager to spend more time with Zilan during this trip.
The two summoned their magical treasures and soared into the sky together.
The Cloud River Sect Leader watched as the two left, with the promise of the Dong Long Palace, at least ensuring that the matter wouldn't escalate to a life-or-death situation.
...
In the boundless sea of clouds.
Shen Yi rode on a flying sword with a black glow, his expression unreadable, and headed straight towards Southern Hong.
The moment the letter appeared, Bear Lu in his Sea of Consciousness had already reacted.
This letter was a secret letter from the Qi family's eldest, and the obscure pattern on it was actually a map, informing them of the gathering point in Southern Hong.
Shen Yi had originally planned to take advantage of their unpreparedness and turn all the Great Demons prepared by the Qi family into Guardian Stones.
Unexpectedly, they had slipped into Southern Hong first.
Among them were two extremely powerful demons, likely on par with the Fusion Dao Realm, allowing them to quietly infiltrate Southern Hong... to put it bluntly, they might not be able to move the Seven Sects, but if they targeted a sect like the Treasure Flower Sect, it would definitely result in heavy losses.
Moreover, the implications behind this matter were even more worrying than the two demon beasts themselves.
Since they had started gathering their forces, it meant that the two Dragon Palaces were ready to take action.
Although Shen Yi had placed his hopes on the Jade Mountain Dragon Consort, the time was too short. Even with preparations, it still seemed far from enough.
Although there were three Fusion Dao Guardian Stones, when combined, they might not even be a match for An Tingfeng.
The Dragon Palaces possessed countless Heaven-grade treasures and had an advantageous survival environment. Could the Dragon Demons, comparable to the Fusion Dao Realm, really be weaker than An Tingfeng?
Furthermore, up until now, apart from the Guardian Stones, he had no involvement in battles at that level.
"Hmm."
Shen Yi closed his eyes, just one final tribulation away from attempting the Fusion Dao.
He hoped that time would be on his side.
He reopened his eyes, and a hint of killing intent appeared in his dark pupils.
Day and night passed, and the black-robed figure turned into a streak of light, relentlessly heading south until he crossed an invisible line in the surging ocean, and that familiar aura instantly surged through his body.
Following Bear Lu's guidance, Shen Yi soon landed in a secluded cave.
He summoned three Fusion Dao Guardian Stones, and his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.
In the blink of an eye, Shen Yi's cold gaze swept across the empty cave, and he silently clenched his fist.
Even with their haste, they had still arrived a step too late.
Not only did this mean they had lost track of those two Great Demons, but it also implied that Xionglu's situation was partially exposed. The chances of receiving another secret letter from the Qi family's eldest were slim, and there was even the risk of being hunted down.
"My Lord..."
Xionglu cautiously looked over, although his cultivation far surpassed the youth before him, the latter only needed a thought to end his life.
Clearly, they were busy threatening those subordinate forces, and their minds were not on Southern Flood at all, which allowed this letter to be intercepted by Cloud River Sect in advance.
Thinking of this, Xionglu quickly added: "The Qi family's eldest also asked us to remember many places in Southern Flood to prevent us from getting lost. Those two beasts should be hiding in these places."
"Go find them."
Shen Yi exhaled, and besides Xionglu, he also released Ke Shi San, leaving only An Yi to guard him.
"I will follow your command, my Lord!" Ke Shi San promptly cupped her hands and quickly left the cave with the foolish bear demon.
After they left, Shen Yi turned and walked out of the cave mansion.
He was not one to take things lightly. Even with the significant improvement from his trip to Western Hong, when it came to the killings between Nan Long Palace and the Seven Sons, he still needed the support of the other six sect leaders.
He must send the news about Qi Da back as soon as possible.
Shen Yi summoned the black-light flying sword again and, with An Yi, swiftly traveled several hundred li. Suddenly, his body slightly paused.
He slightly lowered his gaze and took out a silver bell from his finger ring.
After leaving Nanyang Treasure Land, Shen Yi never expected that he would receive the aura left behind by the demon-catcher outside.
Soon, the aura in the air entered the silver bell and transformed into a familiar, crisp voice, with a hint of a crying tone.
"Big Brother Shen, where are you? Something happened to the sect!"
"..."
An Yi suddenly raised her head, looking at the youth before her in surprise. She had followed him for so long, and even when the Ten Thousand Phenomena Pavilion Sect Leader devoured living beings, she had never seen such pure indifference on his face.
The next moment, a streak of black light swiftly crossed the sky, heading in the direction indicated by the aura!
Soon after.
On a Clear Moon Treasure Ship, Liu Qianyun, who was steering the ship, suddenly shivered and looked behind her in shock.
Before she could react, a figure in a black robe had appeared on the ship.
Shen Yi looked at the white-robed girl sitting on the ship, quickly scanned her, and then calmly turned to look at her: "You brought her out?"
For some reason, under the gaze of those black eyes, Liu Qianyun began to stutter: "She... she..."
Before she could finish, the white-robed girl suddenly hugged Shen Yi's leg and held back her tears, saying, "I begged Sister Qianyun to bring me out. They couldn't find you, and I thought... I thought that if I left more of my aura outside, perhaps you would see it."
Shen Yi exhaled, reached out, and grabbed Lin Baiwei's collar, pulling her up. He stared intently at her reddened eyes and said calmly, "Without my permission, if you dare to come out again, I'll break your legs."
After saying this, he put her back in her place, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Speak."
Shen Yi couldn't think of a reason. Even with five sect leaders in charge of the seven sects, if a real fight broke out, it was unlikely that the inexperienced Nanyang Sect would be sent to their deaths first. Li Qingfeng and Elder Xuan Qing weren't fools; they would surely close the sect doors.
Although Lin Baiwei was young, she wasn't a little girl who had never experienced anything.
She quickly adjusted her emotions and said concisely, "Elder Qingfeng told me that all the Nanyang Sect's officials who went out on errands, including Elders Nie Jun and Ling Xi, were abducted. They sent a message to the sect, asking Elder Xuan Qing to go for an exchange without notifying the other allied sects..."
"Did he go?"
"Yes."
Shen Yi's eyelids twitched at Lin Baiwei's response.
"Elder Qingfeng said that whether or not to notify the allied sects depends on your decision, Big Brother Shen," Lin Baiwei said softly.
On one side were his own senior martial brothers and sisters, and on the other was Elder Xuan Qing, who had a great favor with Nanyang Treasure Land. Even if Li Qingfeng racked his brains, he couldn't make a decision.
"I understand." Shen Yi nodded lightly: "Do you know the location?"
It was clear that Lin Baiwei was well-prepared, and she immediately took out a strand of aura from the bell.
"Sect Leader Shen, we..." Liu Qianyun suddenly had a bad feeling.
Shen Yi took a slight step forward, and his figure disappeared from the ship, leaving behind a sentence hanging in the air.
"Take her back first."
Although his tone was no different from usual, Liu Qianyun sensed an unrefusable command, like... a true sect leader's decree.
