Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 308: Chapter 306: Great Qian Shen Temple Ceremony_1

The fragrance of green grass and the verdancy of new branches.

A gentle breeze softly brushed by.

The village peaceful, as if it were a paradise hidden from the world.

The place Xu Wanyun had dreamt of leaving now gave her the greatest sense of security.

It allowed her to slowly breathe a sigh of relief, “Hoo.”

Soon, as if sensing someone’s entrance.

Dozens of figures quickly rushed out from the village, tall and short, fat and thin, men, women, old and young, all dressed in exceedingly simple clothes.

They looked curiously in this direction, and then someone exclaimed with joy, “Wanyun is back!”

“What about Xu Qing’er? Is Xu Qing’er back too? Watch the elders not spare her a sound beating!”

Hearing this, A’Qing hurriedly shrank into her aunt’s embrace.

A man with a resolute face and the appearance of advanced years stepped out from the crowd, raising his hand to quiet everyone’s clamor.

He silently looked at the aunt and niece, but his gaze eventually fell on the face of the bare-chested youth.

He paid special attention to the black scales on the young man’s arm and the fresh red patterns on his body.

The others also came to their senses, all showing signs of wariness.

An outsider! Since the Xu family had lived in seclusion here, this was the first time an outsider had entered.

“Auntie, take me over,” A’Qing whispered.

“Aren’t you afraid of getting a beating?” Xu Wanyun’s heart, which had just relaxed slightly, couldn’t help but tense up again.

She looked towards her brother in front of her, who was also A’Qing’s father.

And forced a faint smile.

At least in the eyes of the Xu family, she was still the highly skilled, gentle, and composed Ultimate Realm Grandmaster.

“…”

Xu Hongde remained expressionless, still as indifferent as ever.

Even though one was his sister and the other his biological daughter.

It couldn’t change the fact they had broken the clan’s rules and put all their clan members in danger.

In the Xu family, this was absolutely intolerable.

Unless there was a reasonable explanation.

Seeing that playing the family card was futile, Xu Wanyun could only reluctantly carry A’Qing towards the front.

Approaching the crowd of family members, they began shouting again, “What happened to A’Qing? Who did this to her?”

A’Qing poked her head out of the crowd, no longer pretending to be pitiful but seriously whispering into her father’s ear.

Xu Wanyun stood quietly by the side.

Xu Hongde, sniffing the strong scent of blood, had his brows imperceptibly twitch.

Yet he still did not reveal any unusual expression.

After listening intently, he looked indifferently at his daughter, “So, you think just the two of you have the qualifications to make decisions for the Xu family?”

Then he turned to Xu Wanyun, “Do you have that right?”

“…”

Xu Wanyun rolled her eyes, “Like I’d dare. Who could bypass you, Xu Clan Leader, your great authority…”

“Shut up.”

Xu Hongde’s eyes finally flashed with a hint of exasperation.

Two naive girls, they lacked the insight to make investment decisions on behalf of the Xu family.

“Father!”

A’Qing tried to squeeze out more tears to look pitiful, but only saliva spilled from the corner of her lip, which she quickly wiped away.

She could only raise her voice and say, “What’s wrong with trying?”

“Trying?”

Xu Hongde looked again at Shen Yi, speaking flatly, “It seems that Friend Shen has indeed given my daughter such confidence.”

Upon hearing this, the quiet youth finally took a step forward.

His gaze swept over the crowd, “Shen Yi has fallen into hardship and needs to borrow your esteemed land for recuperation. Once the danger has passed, I will certainly provide ample compensation.”

“Empty promises, who would believe you!”

The faces of the Xu family members remained as wary as before.

Xu Hongde once again raised his palm to silence the noise around him, already trying his best to save face for the other party: “Shen Yi, you should know what Qing’er wants you to do, but as a loose cultivator, you should be free and happy, there is no need to get involved in these inexplicable disputes.”

“Similarly, the Xu Family also does not wish to get involved in any disputes with you, Brother Shen.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Wanyun’s heart tightened. She had thought that her brother was just taking the opportunity to vent his anger, after all, Shen Yi had already come in.

Now, hearing these words, she realized that the other party really wanted to send someone away.

She hurriedly spoke out: “What’s wrong with being a loose cultivator? Which power did not rise from loose cultivators?”

“Then we’ll talk when he has risen…” came a murmur from the crowd, which was immediately silenced by a glare from Xu Wanyun.

A’Qing was also struggling to stand up from her aunt’s arms, wanting to say something.

But then she suddenly heard Brother Shen’s voice.

“Fair point.”

Shen Yi calmly brushed past his waist, and a green robe quietly draped over him.

In an instant, an air of scholarly elegance enveloped him.

He gave a slight bow: “Officer Shen Yi of the Great Qian Martial Temple, at your service, members of the Xu Family.”

The calm words fell upon everyone’s ears.

This time, even A’Qing and Xu Wanyun were stunned in place.

As one of the three allied forces, Great Qian was an overbearing peak power.

And within the Martial Temple, the temple officers held the highest prestige.

All were Transcendent Cultivators capable of sitting atop high platforms with their Golden Bodies.

The rest of the family members also displayed looks of fear, and in their eyes, even the young man’s stature seemed much grander.

In the historical records of the Xu Family, Great Qian was an insurmountable mountain.

The beings are like chess pieces; even if the Martial Temple is the weakest among the three allies, it is still the player, existing on a completely different level from other powers.

“Whatever the Xu Family patriach desires, I can provide,” said Shen Yi, looking towards Xu Hongde with a soft voice. “And I am the only one who can provide it.”

If someone else had said this, Xu Hongde would have been provoked to laughter, but upon seeing the green robe on the other person, he fell silent once again.

Only Great Qian Martial Temple, Wutong Mountain, and the Thousand Demon Cave could contend against the Mysterious Light Cave.

The latter, being an Immortal Sect, does not interfere with the world’s affairs, and allying with demons is out of the question.

Upon consideration, it seems that the only chance for the Xu Family to see the light of day again would be if one of those more than ten Golden Body Dharma Identities within the Martial Temple nodded their approval.

“Why should I believe you?” Xu Hongde’s voice revealed a slight tremble.

Without waiting for Shen Yi to respond, Xu Wanyun anxiously interjected: “He really has a Golden Body Dharma Identity accompanying him… Ah, where’s the Golden Body?!”

She suddenly realized that the Golden Body was nowhere to be seen.

Shen Yi did not summon the Golden Body; he simply continued looking at Xu Hongde.

As a temple officer of the Martial Temple, he had already shown sufficient sincerity towards the Xu Family.

Trying hard to prove himself further was truly unnecessary.

Indeed, seeing Shen Yi’s demeanor,

Xu Hongde could not help revealing a bitter smile on his lips: “If only I had heard this statement from Officer Shen earlier, the Xu Family would not have come to this.”

He let out a sigh, waved his hand to disperse the crowd,

and then nodded gently to Shen Yi: “Officer Shen, please come this way.”

Whether the other party’s words were true or false,

at least his sister had seen the Golden Body, Qing’er mentioned that this young man had slain a true person from Mysterious Light Cave, and there was also that robe.

Combining these three elements, it would not be a problem to exchange for a place for recuperation.

A’Qing puffed her cheeks, staring silently at Brother Shen: “…”

Loose Cultivator Shen Yi, Great Qian Shen Yi!

Next time, would he become Wutong Mountain Shen Yi?

Deceiving even oneself, how outrageous!

Xu Wanyun coughed twice, burying her head a bit guiltily.@@novelbin@@

What temple officer of the Martial Temple?

When they had slain Demon Emperor Qinglin previously, those Great Qian Grandmasters did not seem to recognize Shen Yi at all.
