Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 295: Chapter 295: True Person Ziyán_1

“The Zheng Family was massacred, and on that day, purple flames soared into the sky,”

“The Mysterious Light Cave’s grandmaster has already taken control of the entire mountain range, forbidding even half a step from any of the thirty-eight nearby large and small families.”

“I foresaw this and escaped quickly, but you have no idea what I saw at the Zheng Family’s…”

Cultivators whispered with somber expressions on street corners. As they spoke, they glanced around before taking out a sound transmitting precious tool.

Shen Yi passed by several people without changing his expression.

He, of course, knew what was left of the Zheng Family.

Nothing but “wooden figures” scattered on the ground, their divine souls and Dao Infants devoured by the Year Wood.

As the cultivator forcibly suppressed his horror and finished transmitting his message, observing the similarly stunned expressions of the others, he put away his precious tool and shook his head, “But I have never heard of any power having a Purple Flame adept capable of such strength. They must be nearing the Transcendent Spirit Realm.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Wanyun’s expression inevitably became a bit tense.

Although she had long known that this news could not be concealed, hearing it firsthand still made her feel somewhat heavy.

The distinguishing characteristics of the purple-golden flames were too obvious, recognizable at a glance.

With this in mind, she subconsciously slowed her pace to continue listening to the conversations around her.

“The Mysterious Light Cave seems set to make a big move this time,”

“Heh, not necessarily,”

The previously frightened cultivator suddenly chuckled again, “Let me tell you, not only are they not making a spectacle, but they also seem to be intentionally controlling the information. It might be that they’ve provoked some other major power, or perhaps they’re in the wrong.”

“How in the wrong must they be to swallow such a grievance.”

Others, recalling the news they had just heard, couldn’t help smacking their lips, wondering if the illustrious Immortal Sect was really engaging in the act of using cultivators to feed demons?

This was not a subject to discuss any further.

“Such a bunch of blabbermouths…”

Xu Wanyun quickly followed, noticing that Shen Yi seemed completely indifferent.

Let these people keep chattering away.

Within a month, the entire affair of the Purple Flame adept slaughtering the Zheng Family would be known throughout the world.

“What brings this group of people together here?”

Shen Yi preemptively disrupted Xu Wanyun’s intention to approach and whisper.

He wasn’t deaf; let the group chatter as they wished.

Who that Purple Flame adept was, he didn’t know, as now he was the Martial Immortal of the Year Wood, his aura clear and gentle, warm and calm.

“Probably just bored,”

Xu Wanyun’s topic was easily diverted. She glanced to the side and said softly, “At a certain realm, earnest cultivation is just a waste of lifespan, resources are what matter most.”

“Yet, most heavenly materials and earth treasures have owners, and trying to fight for them is too risky, with a high chance of losing one’s path and dying.”

“So they’re all waiting for opportunities to come by.”

Shen Yi glanced sideways, “Opportunities from whom?”

Counting on her fingers, Xu Wanyun replied, “Right now, it should be the Great Qian?”

Before her words died away, a new commotion began on the streets.

Several figures emerged from the entrance of a tavern, each emitting an overwhelmingly powerful aura, all of them Primordial Grandmasters from the upper realm.

They were silent and cold-eyed,

No sooner did they step onto the main street than they were like wolves among sheep.

Their attire varied, but they shared a similar demeanor, clearly hailing from the same place.

“They’re all from the Great Qian,”

A’Qing, who had been silent so far, suddenly spoke up to give a reminder,

“How do you know?” Xu Wanyun asked curiously.

“The arrays carved on their boots are ours,” A’Qing said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Xu Wanyun suddenly snorted, “What ingratitude, after all the good we did for them, when our family was in trouble…”

A’Qing kept her head down and said nothing.

Mysterious Light Cave and Great Qian were allies; it was self-evident which was more important. The Xu Family, no matter how sincere towards Great Qian, couldn’t compare to the importance of an ally.

Yet, from beginning to end, the Martial Temple hadn’t said a word, which left the family elders quite disheartened.

“…”

Shen Yi was inexplicably caught in the crossfire.

He noticed that all the cultivators on the street, especially those with a bit of strength, had shifted from their previous languid state to one of tension.

“Time to prepare for picking up the leftovers,” Shen Yi thought.

Xu Wanyun collected her emotions.

In fact, the entire Demon-suppressing City served the Immortal Sect and Great Qian; only these three had the courage and qualifications to enter the Thousand Demon Cave.

But soon, she was puzzled again, “Why can’t I see any Transcendent Spirit Golden Bodies? Normally, each Great Qian expedition into the Thousand Demon Cave is led by at least one Golden Body.”

The next moment, Xu Wanyun’s whole face somewhat numbed.

She saw a wave of flames sweeping across the sky, and the intense heat caused the entire Demon-suppressing City to become blurred.

A figure slowly descended.

With empty hands and dressed in snow-white clothes, he approached the group of Great Qian cultivators and said indifferently, “Mysterious Light Cave is entangled in other affairs, so I have come to handle matters on behalf of my master.”

A few Great Qian cultivators visibly relaxed, “Thank you for your trouble, Senior Tang.”

A’Qing flipped through her booklet, excitedly grabbing Shen Yi’s sleeve, “It’s Tang Yuan!”

“…”

Shen Yi looked down resignedly.

“He is the most famous prodigy under True Person Qingfeng of Wutong Mountain, born in a small country, raised under the guidance of Yin God Cultivators, and ultimately taken in by True Person Qingfeng for his cultivation of the Way of the Primordial Chaos, reaching the Transcendent Spirit Realm at the mere age of nineteen hundred.”

A’Qing quickly sketched the man’s face in her booklet, “Big Brother Shen, you know about those places specializing in the Cultivation of the Yin Spirit, don’t you? They lack proper Cultivation Techniques and sufficient resources, yet he has forcefully climbed his way up on his own.”

“Tsk.”

Xu Wanyun bumped Shen Yi with her shoulder, “What’s so great about that? I’m only over six hundred years old, how about you?”

“Not much.”

Shen Yi silently calculated, having been in this world just over one year and four months.

“It seems so,” Shen Yi murmured.

A’Qing paused, then put away her booklet.

Right beside her were two beings no less than Tang Yuan himself.

“How many more pieces do you lack now?” Tang Yuan asked, not minding the others as he stood directly on the street in front of them.

“We’re still short sixteen Year Fruits.”

The oldest-looking among the Great Qian cultivators bowed in response.@@novelbin@@

“Has Mysterious Light Cave found a suitable cave dwelling for you?” Tang Yuan asked succinctly.

“It has been arranged… however, the Blood Transforming Demon Emperor has fallen not long ago, and now the Thousand Demon Cave is fraught with peril,” the Great Qian cultivator sighed.

“No matter, do the best you can.”

Tang Yuan nodded slightly and accepted the Jade Slip handed to him, “I am not a Wutong Mountain Disciple, but I am a student of True Person Qingfeng. If you trust in me, then from now on, follow my arrangements.”

“Thank you, Senior, for your understanding!”

Several Great Qian cultivators bowed deeply in gratitude.

This made Xu Wanyun show a peculiar expression, “Since when did Great Qian become so humble?”

In the books she had read from childhood.

The Martial Temple was said to be fortified by over ten Transcendent Cultivators, dozens of Upper Realm Martial Immortals, and numerous Primordial Grandmasters, absolutely a major force that stood above others.

Yet now, they were showing such great deference towards a mere acknowledged disciple of True Person Qingfeng?
