Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Battle Against Zheng Zisheng_1
Truly disgusting!
Several Primordial Grandmasters spat in disdain, especially Yu Yuehu. If not for Chen Zhong’s protection, he would have wished to flay this scoundrel alive right now.
Scumbags do have good luck.
That he could survive, while his own elder brother’s life hung in the balance, uncertain if he could be saved, was simply maddening.
“Thank you, senior, for the rescue.”
Yu Yuehu composed himself and bowed to the young man again.
With the young man’s strength and cultivation level, he was worthy of their address as a senior.
“It’s nothing,”
Shen Yi nodded and walked toward Zheng Zisheng.
“Senior, do not believe his lies…”
The others quietly cautioned a sentence, already having offended Mysterious Light Cave to death, they did not fear adding another offence.
Putting other things aside, just the two Precious Tools on the young man’s person were enough to make this pack of mongrels covetous.
If they were brought before that True Person, using his higher status to bully the weak and steal from him, the Mysterious Light Cave would hardly hesitate.
“Senior,”
Chen Zhong nodded slightly, clearing a path.
Since the others had already warned him, there was no need for him to say more.
Whether to make connections or not was the young man’s own affair.
A’Qing glanced at Zheng Zisheng, his expression complicated, but since Grandmaster Shen did not speak, he obediently followed behind Chen Zhong.
After all, the fact that the other party was willing to bring him along was already a great kindness; it was best to avoid causing any trouble.
Yet the numerous lives lost, as passed down by his kinsfolk, made him fear that Grandmaster Shen would suffer a great disadvantage at the hands of Mysterious Light Cave.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd,
Shen Yi approached Zheng Zisheng.
“…”
Zheng Zisheng, a great Upper Realm Primordial being, couldn’t bring himself to call out the word “senior.”
He could only smile and nod in greeting.
Then, a palm suddenly appeared in his field of vision, from which a bone-chilling coldness burst forth between slender fingers!
“Are you insane!”
He bellowed in rage as his body sparkled with light, invoking his Dao Infant – an extremely power-consuming effort – to its fullest in an instant.
Zheng Zisheng couldn’t understand; he had no feud with the other party, nor had he offended him with words. Why would the man attempt to kill him outright?
But that moment of bafflement was the missed chance for survival.
Shen Yi quickly clamped his palm onto Zheng Zisheng’s skull. To prevent any hidden life-saving items, this was the first time he fully activated the Cold Jade Xuan Silk Hand.
Coupled with the terrifying force granted by the five Demon Kings,
it crushed Zheng Zisheng’s physical body directly.
As the Dao Infant tried to flee in that instant, a terrifying cold surge gushed out, solidly freezing it.
The crisp sound of ice cracking echoed near one’s ear.
Zheng Zisheng’s Dao Infant was riddled with cracks, with only its eyes still filled with fear and rage, staring intently at Shen Yi, as if to let out an unwilling roar.
However, suddenly a pair of eerie vertical pupils appeared in his field of vision.
A sharp wolf’s howl exploded in his mind.
His already panicked Divine Soul was violently dispersed!
It rapidly became a cracked jade doll.
Only at this moment did Chen Zhong suddenly come back to his senses, “Senior, stop!”
Shen Yi tossed the jade doll in his hand, looking back puzzled, “…”
With death already upon him, what ‘stop’ could there be?
Chen Zhong stared at the jade doll in horror, completely unable to comprehend why the man would strike without a moment’s notice.
If Zheng Zisheng’s death in front of everyone were to leak out, the others could still flee and hide from the pursuit of Mysterious Light Cave.
But where could the Great Qian Dynasty flee?
To say that a prodigy descended from the heavens, first slaughtered the Demon, then killed Zheng Zisheng.
With no known reason or clear grudge, only he died, while the others remained unharmed… who would believe such a story?!
Moreover, the True Person was still within the cave house.
Did this senior truly not fear the Mysterious Light Cave at all?
Shen Yi bent down to collect the other’s Storage Treasure. Including this one, he had already picked up three sources of foundation on this trip.
Indeed, one had to venture out to gain rewards.
Staying in the Great Qian Dynasty, how could one amass a substantial fortune.
“Ah?”
A’Qing looked at the corpse of Zheng Zisheng and forcefully slapped his forehead.
Grandmaster Shen’s actions truly were out of the ordinary.
Every step was something one could not have anticipated.
However… if Father knew that a disciple from the Mysterious Light Cave had fallen, the whole clan would probably be very happy.
Thinking of this, A’Qing hurriedly took out paper and a pen, intending to record the characteristics of this Grandmaster.
He had yet to start writing.
When Shen Yi walked over and snatched it away, giving him a scornful look in passing.
Record, record, record, even a murder scene needs to be recorded.
Why not just go tell on him to the Mysterious Light Cave?
A’Qing scratched his head and suddenly realized what he had done, hastily saying, “Sorry, sorry… It’s a habit.”
“Alright, just follow me.”
Shen Yi glanced at Chen Zhong and did not explain further.
The greatest advantage of going out this time was that nobody knew his background; whatever he did had no relation to the Great Qian Martial Temple.
There were fewer restraints.
Therefore, he did not plan to explain the situation to this inspector.
After all, sending him back to Great Qian first could also solve a lot of problems.
“…”
Chen Zhong released his palm.
With the situation as it was, there was no point in going up and fighting to the death with this senior; that would be idiotic.
Zheng Zisheng was from the Mysterious Light Cave, not his, Chen’s, father.
The other’s death had oddly lifted a weight from his heart.
At this point, he could only take things one step at a time.
Having thought this, he stepped forward and followed.
The other Grandmasters made way, and although the Cultivation Technique did not end up in their hands, it was more acceptable for the youth to have it than for Zheng Zisheng to steal it.
Moreover, he had taken all the blame upon himself.
Once they left the cave dwelling, there was no need to hide anymore.@@novelbin@@
“Thank you, Senior, for avenging my brother. If there is any way my Yu family brothers can be of use, please don’t hesitate to ask,”
Yu Yuehu bowed deeply. This time, in addition to fearing the other’s power, there was also a sense of genuine gratitude.
The power of the Mysterious Light Cave was simply too overwhelming.
Once they left, the Yu family would no longer have a chance for revenge.
“I need to take my brother to heal his injuries, so I won’t bother you further,”
After saying that, he hurriedly carried his brother on his shoulder and soared towards the outside.
“We will also take our leave first.”
The others summoned their Dao Infants one after another, whether from the Mysterious Light Cave or the Thousand Demon Cave, none wanted to face such an ambiguous and formidable figure.
This trip to the cave dwelling was likely not something that ordinary Primordial Realm cultivators like them could participate in anymore.
Making preparations to leave early was the wise move.
“This…”
Chen Zhong looked on in confusion, noticing that the youth merely nodded slightly as anyone wished to leave.
It indicated that he had no intention of using others to scout the way.
But why did he specifically want to keep him?
Unable to understand, he realized that the youth had already walked far away.
“Help me sort through the loot, categorize everything and put them away.”
Shen Yi took out three Storage Bags and passed them to A’Qing.
This kind of work, creatures like Lady Qinghua couldn’t handle, not recognizing any of the good stuff, dumb as a brick.
“Great! Thank you, Grandmaster Shen.”
A’Qing happily accepted the bags; this trip was meant to broaden his horizons, and what better way than going through someone else’s Storage Treasures.
“No problem,”
Shen Yi nodded his head and looked at the items in his hand.
A Jade Slip and a thick book.
