Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 258: Chapter 258 Rational_1

The scene where the black-bearded man was swallowed by the fire wave made everyone’s heart tremble involuntarily.

Seeing the scholar rushing over, they all cast their gazes towards the young man in the indigo robe behind him.

But the youth was still chewing on the Spirit Fruit, appearing completely unmoved.

The crowd inwardly groaned.

It seemed that the Great Qian Grandmaster had long been accustomed to this, and relying on him to step forward was probably unlikely.

“Every treasure has its guardianship, it’s not something you can get past simply by barging through,”

The young scholar reached the front of the crowd, took a careful look at the dense fire wave, and then turned to Xiang Tianyan and her brother and said, “Stop sending them to their deaths, let me think of a way, but I need a little time.”

Upon hearing this, the crowd’s sinking hearts finally regained some hope.

They all looked fervently over and said, “Please, young brother, go ahead.”

No matter if what he said was true or false, at least their own lives were saved for the time being.

Sure enough, after taking a good look at the scholar, Xiang Tianxiong pondered for a moment and finally nodded, “Alright, I’ll trust you this once.”

Upon hearing this, the scholar wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Many cultivators instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before they could fully exhale, Xiang Tianxiong had already looked over indifferently, “He’ll think of his method, and you all will continue with your tasks.”

“Elder Xiang?!”

A few hot-tempered cultivators looked over in surprise and exclaimed angrily, “Are you deliberately sending us to our deaths?”

If someone says they have a way, then just wait patiently, and if it doesn’t work, then think of another solution.

Besides, they had all seen how the black-bearded man died.

Who would dare to go forward now?

“Although I have not reached Primordial level, my clan’s elders might not necessarily be inferior to you, the Xiang siblings.”

The tall and thin man stepped forward and said sharply, “You had better think this through!”

Xiang Tianxiong looked over without expression, “That’s not for you to remind me… Let’s start with you.”

In the cave dwelling, nothing was more precious than time.

If they waited for other Primordial Grandmasters to arrive, the items in the medicinal hut might not necessarily belong to them anymore.

The scholar might be able to come up with a solution, but that does not interfere with the others putting their heads together.

The two are not in conflict.

Moreover, just as this person said, anyone here could have some background behind them.

What had been done had to be done decisively.

Indecision would only bring suffering upon oneself.

“There’s no need for that, I’ll try my best…” The scholar’s fair face showed a hint of anger, but he still kept his voice low as he explained.

Unfortunately, before he could finish, Xiang Tianxiong spoke gently, “I trust you this once, so I put you last. That doesn’t mean you’re safe; you naturally need to do your best.”

“Fine, fine, fine!”

The tall and thin man laughed twice, his face flushed red, and with a wave of his hand, two short swords appeared, “Fellows, see clearly the faces of these siblings. Do you still dare to hope?!”

Clang, clang, clang!

The sound of weapons being drawn rang out as more than ten people backed into each other, all glaring fiercely at the brother and sister.

Seeing this, Xiang Tianxiong still made no move.

The seemingly ordinary middle-aged woman beside him simply took a small step forward, and a red light shone brilliantly from her, emitting a terrifying aura that was far more intimidating than Xiang Tianxiong’s.

Under that intense pressure, the hands of those holding weapons weakened slightly, and their sharp Precious Tools lost any semblance of threat.

Middle Realm Mixed Yuan.

Xiang Tianyan swept her gaze over the crowd lightly, “Show your true capabilities. As long as you can reach the other side, I’ll spare your life.”

With that, she nodded lightly, “Please begin.”

“…”

The tall and skinny man took a deep breath, his ten fingers trembling with rage as he withdrew his twin swords and took out a lavishly decorated small boat artifact.

He walked slowly to the shore, unable to resist turning his head to look back at the youth in black robes, “Grandmaster, if these siblings continue to be so domineering, by the time we are all dead, I’m afraid you won’t be able to reap much benefit either.”

These words of obvious instigation were also a substantial truth.

The strong bully the weak, and once the weak are gone, the weakest among the strong will inevitably emerge.

“Noisy!”

Xiang Tianyan scolded coldly and then frowned as he turned to Shen Yi, nodding politely, “Young friend, you have no need to worry. You and I are both from the Primordial realm, you won’t be shortchanged.”

Xiang Tianxiong also approached slowly, laughing, “This path has to be explored by someone, and it’s not as if the more cultivated should clear the way for the weaker ones. If that were the case, wouldn’t our cultivation levels have been accumulated in vain? Besides, time is of the essence. If someone else gets there before us, wouldn’t that be a pity? Young friend, don’t you think my words make sense?”

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gazes to the youth in the black robe.

The scholar clenched his fists anxiously but could do nothing more than fret.

Shen Yi swallowed the last piece of fruit flesh, then stretched his arms and said calmly, “You’re right.”

Having just emerged from the Great Qian, he had been somewhat hesitant at first.

He hadn’t expected these siblings to be quite sensible.

Upon hearing these words, the scholar helplessly lowered his head, the tall and skinny man chuckled self-deprecatingly; everyone understands the principle, but when it’s not their turn, who can truly listen?

“As long as young friend understands…”

Xiang Tianxiong’s smile deepened as he looked back towards the shore, ready to speak, only to be interrupted by a disinterested voice next to him.

“Then what are you waiting for?”

Shen Yi wiped the juice from his hands onto Xiang Tianxiong’s shoulder, giving a slight nod, “I’m quite short on time, go ahead.”

After all, if exploring is to be done, why waste time watching a bunch of Embrace Pill Realm cultivators courting death?

Why not start directly with a Primordial Grandmaster for greater efficiency?

“…”

A look of astonishment flashed in Xiang Tianxiong’s eyes as he finally realized the other’s intention.

His expression turned a shade colder, “Young friend, are you joking with me?”

As he spoke, a golden light emerged from his body, indicating he was ready to take action.

He had kept the young man by his side on the chance that there might be an opportunity to use him, but that didn’t mean the young man could overstep his boundaries.

“Tsk.”

Shen Yi’s brows furrowed slightly, too lazy to talk further.

With a casual palm strike to the back of Xiang Tianxiong’s head, with the enhancement of five Demon Kings, he didn’t even need to show any sign of his power.

Bang!

Xiang Tianxiong had no chance to resist, not even time to change his expression.

His entire body embarrassingly collapsed to the ground.

Shen Yi squatted beside him, casually snatching away his storage bag and then gripped the back of his collar, tossing him carelessly into the surging waves of fire!

The golden figure drew everyone’s attention.

The whole process was so fast that even Xiang Tianyan couldn’t react in time before seeing her brother already flying mid-air, and at the moment he approached the opposite shore, all his energies were sealed off.

The flames fiercely devoured him.

“Ah ah!!”

A scream filled the air.

A golden Dao Infant struggled out of the fire, its expression ferocious as it tried to pounce back to the shore, but the flames turned into chains, quickly entwining its limbs and neck. With the sound of rushing water, it was slowly pulled back in.

“Yan sister, save me!”

The cry of despair echoed to the heavens but was powerless to prevent him from being pulled back into the waves of fire.

Until all returned to calm.
