Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 283: Chapter 283 Heading to the Zheng Family_1

“Brother Dao, you’ve taken care of our junior during this time and it must have caused you quite some trouble.”

Xu Wanyun poured herself a cup of tea in lieu of wine.

“No need for courtesy, she has also helped me a lot.”

Shen Yi nodded, speaking the truth.

Given that A’Qing just mentioned being able to repair the Nine Swords Annihilation Formation, it would be impossible to lack protection anywhere.

That was a Formation capable of trapping and killing a Deification Transcendent Realm Cultivator.

Seeing the polite exchange between the two, A’Qing breathed a sigh of relief, she was just a bit mischievous, not truly naughty, and knowing that both were very kind to her, she didn’t want any rift to emerge between them.

But soon after, she felt something was amiss, yet couldn’t put her finger on it.

“Brother Shen, this is one of my elders, she would like to follow you…”

Before she could finish, A’Qing received a knock on the head.

“I call him Brother Dao, and you call him Big Brother?” Xu Wanyun gave her a glance.

“…”

A’Qing finally realized where the problem lay, but looking at Shen Yi’s youthful and handsome face, she simply couldn’t bring herself to call out “Uncle Shen” no matter what.

She grunted and kept her head down, saying nothing.

“I’ve heard Brother Dao has important matters to attend to and might not be able to look after this youngster, so let me take care of her. If there is anything I can help with, Wanyun is also willing to offer whatever little assistance I can.”

Xu Wanyun seemed to be rebutting the previous impression her niece had of her as having too little experience.

Her speech was flawless, every move she made was by the book, with no room for fault-finding.

Looking at her formal demeanor,

Shen Yi raised an eyebrow: “Either is fine.”

If A’Qing could stay, that would naturally be for the best. Not to mention the news of the Superior Spirit Root, at least to repair the sword Formation first, would provide him with an extremely powerful assistance.

However, after all this was a family affair, it wouldn’t be appropriate for an outsider to get too involved.

Seeing Shen Yi’s somewhat indifferent reply,

Xu Wanyun just smiled lightly.

It seemed that her earlier carelessness had led him to underestimate her.

Quite fitting for a cultivator who could partake in combat at the Divinity Transformation level.

The palm he had prepared to strike with earlier, although he had not actually released it, was certainly not something that a Primordial Realm could withstand.

But such means were not unique to the young.

When it came to fighting across realms, the Xu Family was the real ancestral master.

“We’re ready to depart.”

Shen Yi glanced to the side and noticed no one else wished to make any more exchanges.

Resolutely, he stood up and nodded towards the distance.

Jin Baowen hurried over to show the way: “Senior, please this way.”

The group walked out of the Eight Directions Food Pavilion together.

“May I know what identity does the senior plan to use when visiting the Zheng Family?” he asked quietly.@@novelbin@@

If there were top-tier powers like an Immortal Sect or the Great Qian supporting him, the Zheng Family would naturally have no choice but to greet him respectfully. Even if it was a lesser power, as long as it was on the same level as the Zheng Family, there’d be no way he would be turned away at the door.

But there was a downside to that.

Such a high-profile identity would inevitably cause the Zheng Family to be wary, scrutinizing his every move, making it nearly impossible to see the Year Wood.

“A Loose Cultivator.” Shen Yi stepped out of the valley, summoning the Demon Cloud.

“That would be quite suitable, but cultivators tend to be more power-hungry than ordinary people, so please try not to get angry, Senior.” Jin Baowen gave him a reminder.

“Which Loose Cultivator is like Brother Dao here,”

Xu Wanyun shook her head, seizing the opportunity to show off her “experience” learned from books: “A Loose Cultivator without any backing cultivates cautiously, fearing to be resented by others, and would certainly not use something with such an obvious characteristic as the Demon Cloud for transportation.”

As she spoke, she took out an ordinary-looking wooden boat and lifted it into the air, stretching about thirty feet long.

Xu Wanyun stepped onto the wooden boat first and then pulled A’Qing to her side, subsequently inviting Shen Yi aboard.

Were it not for Shen Yi appearing too young, they would look just like a family of three.

“So it seems,”

Those with malicious intentions rarely travel with family in tow.

Xu Wanyun formed a spell.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly ordinary wooden boat turned out to be several times faster than the Demon Cloud.

Shen Yi was somewhat surprised.

However, for him, the faster, the better at the moment.

Time was already running out.

Not only did he need to break through to Divinity Transformation, but he also had to become one of the strongest within that realm, and one can imagine the pressure involved.

Great Qian was no small force.

To protect such a colossal entity, it would require the caliber of someone like Nie Jun at the very least.

And he himself was still far, far away from that realm.

…

White clouds floated ethereally, while green mountains stood nobly.

The combination of the two easily evoked thoughts of immortals.

And the Zheng Family who lived here, although not considered an Immortal Sect, relied on its profound connections and barely qualified as a branch of one.

The Zheng Family, as the center, had attracted many small clans nearby, and the Jin family was one of them.

Atop the mountain stood a statue tens of feet tall.

With scriptures and a Taoist sword in hand, it truly presented an air of transcendence, overlooking all living beings.

One must know that in such a land, surrounded by demons, not only to claim a vast mountain range rich in spiritual essence but also to boldly erect statues without fear of being targeted by others or demons,

spoke of deep-rooted confidence.

“That is the ancestor of the Zheng Family, originally one of the leading figures in the Mysterious Light Cave. It’s a pity that his lifespan was expended, and he perished in pursuit of his path. However, he left behind a legacy that ensures the Zheng Family always has a place in Mysterious Light Cave,”

Jin Baowen stated, standing atop the White Cloud Treasure.

It was evident that he felt a sense of vicarious pride when talking about the Zheng Family.

After all, they were related by marriage.

However, over the long years, these surrounding small clans all took pride in establishing relations with the Zheng Family, whether by offering a gifted child for adoption or marrying their enchanting younger generations into the family.

In any case, they tried every means to claim kinship.

It was nothing particularly special.

Moreover, the branch of the Jin family that had married in had long since died out, and his unabashed attempt to leverage his ancestral connections for some benefits had been briskly denied.

His only remaining usefulness was the freedom to come and go by virtue of the name.

“Indeed, it is related to the Mysterious Light Cave,”

Xu Wanyun suddenly let out a cold laugh, taking the Xu Family’s Mountain Protection Array into her sight.

After disappearing from the world for a while, the treasures her family had cherished were now visible everywhere, which was quite ironic.

With this Array alone, even a Cultivator in the Divinity Transformation Realm would have to expend a lot of effort.

“Of course,”

Jin Baowen looked towards Shen Yi. His task was to prove the message’s veracity, not to offend the Zheng Family, “Senior, let me handle the talking.”

After receiving the young man’s approval,

Jin Baowen slowly descended towards the manor. He whispered something to the guardian at the gate, then pointed up towards the sky.

In the next moment, the two men stepped forward and bumped Jin Baowen towards the stone stairs, “You old thing, our family said no visitors for the next few years, and you still dare bring people to the Zheng Family; are you tired of living!”

“…”

Xu Wanyun remained silent, looking aside, noticing that Shen Yi’s eyes also flickered with doubt.

It wasn’t because the old man had no clout.

But because, regardless of everything else, Jin Baowen was an Embrace Pill Stage Warrior.

If mere young gatekeepers could knock him down, if they truly had such strength, they might as well let Great Qian withdraw from the alliance and have the Zheng Family take its place.
