Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 315: Chapter 313: Search for Me_1

“`

It hadn’t even been the second day yet.

Shen Yi looked at the people in front of him, speechless.

If he remembered correctly, they had agreed to let the young people go out and take a look.

Besides the familiar aunt and nephew, how did the other two look anything like young people?

Xu Hongde extended his hand and introduced, “This is the sixth ancestor of our Xu Family.”

The sixth ancestor of the Xu Family nodded politely.

Although he carried himself with the air of an elder, his eyes still twinkled with anticipation.

It was an opportunity that he had managed to snatch away from an old crone. With the clan leader absent, the other had to stay behind to oversee the grand scheme of things.

These old folks had all witnessed the outside world’s prosperity in their youth.

However, they had always been constrained by the bigger picture and needed to stay put, unable to follow their hearts. Now, with a legitimate reason, they naturally didn’t want to let go of the chance.

Among the three, Xu Wanyun was present because the fifth ancestor still hadn’t given up on that thought and had secretly instructed her to make another effort.

As for A’Qing.

It was purely because Xu Hongde wasn’t there and no one could deter her.

When it came to formations, who could best this lass?

Better to simply bring her along rather than wait for her to escape secretly.

“Are we going to Great Qian?”

A’Qing looked on excitedly. For all cultivators, the alliance of the three factions was undoubtedly something that existed only in legends.

Although the Xu Family had once been quite close to them, after so many years, they could only catch a cursory glimpse of their splendor through the books.

“Are you really a temple priest?”

Not until Shen Yi nodded did Xu Wanyun dare to voice her doubt.

She had thought Shen Yi was fooling everyone until the moment of their departure.

“Let’s go.”

Shen Yi stepped out, and his figure appeared outside once again.

But the forest that was there before had disappeared, and the mountains around had all collapsed. Not a trace of life could be found, as if a calamity of world-ending proportions had occurred.

He waited a while to make sure there was nothing unusual, then used the Goose Egg Stone to signal to A’Qing.

The group boarded a flying ship and vanished from the spot.

Shen Yi did not head straight back to Great Qian.

Instead, he detoured to Eight Directions Food Pavilion, which was closer.

Not until he saw the bright red building still towering in the valley and the crowd coming and going as usual did he breathe a sigh of relief.

It seemed that the cultivators on Wutong Mountain were still quite diligent. At least for now, Thousand Demon Cave hadn’t managed to mobilize for retaliation.

But it was uncertain how long this could be delayed.

“Shall we go down for a meal?”

A’Qing perched at the edge of the flying ship, licking her lips.

She had tasted the meatballs once, and to this day, she couldn’t forget them.

Xu Wanyun turned to the side, only to see her brother standing with his hands behind him, the picture of stability, while the sixth ancestor even lifted his head high, not sparing a glance at the food pavilion.

Surprisingly, neither of them made any move to stop A’Qing.

“Next time,” Shen Yi said, looking into the distance.

The peace at Eight Directions Food Pavilion didn’t guarantee that Great Qian was safe, especially considering the vastness of Jiuzhou.

Just then, a few auspicious clouds suddenly rose from the food pavilion.

“Let’s go, let’s go, there’s a spectacle to see!”

A’Qing noticed that the direction the cultivators were heading seemed to coincide with their route. Glancing at big brother Shen, she hurriedly called out to them, “Seniors, wait up, can you tell us what the fuss is about?”

“It’s been almost half a month, you still don’t know?”@@novelbin@@

The cultivators exchanged looks and, without lowering their voices, said directly, “We only just heard about it too. It seems like the alliance of the three factions is about to change hands. If you want to see, go to Li State!”

Upon hearing this, the faces of everyone on the flying ship changed simultaneously.

They all looked to Shen Yi.

“Could you please elaborate, friend?”

Shen Yi stood with his hands down, looking in that direction.

Sensing his extraordinary bearing, the cultivators patiently continued, “We only heard rumors that a group of Fox Demons suddenly went to Great Qian, and it seems there was a dispute. They’re talking about outright replacing Great Qian. Even Wutong Mountain was alerted. Of course… these are all rumors, and not entirely trustworthy. In any case, there seems to be such a matter.”

“`

“Thank you.”

Shen Yi bowed slightly and then the flying boat sped across the sky.

Xu Hongde and Liuzhu exchanged glances.

Without speaking, confusion grew in their eyes.

This wasn’t even Great Qian yet, but the situation seemed somewhat off.

Was this what Shen Yi meant when he said, once he came out, the Xu Family would know who he was?

“Big Brother Shen, Li State is not in this direction.”

Seeing the atmosphere was off, A’Qing cautiously reminded him.

Even she knew the direction; how could Big Brother Shen get it wrong, unless his mind was really troubled?

“We’re not going to Li State first.”

Shen Yi stood at the top of the flying boat, his hands hidden in his sleeves slowly clenched into fists.

In his dark eyes, a red mist slowly rose.

That group of foxes sauntered into Great Qian; the Martial Temple would surely arrange for someone to deal with them.

But there was a place that would be overlooked by others.

…

In Great Qian, Qingzhou City.

The expansive city was, as usual, no different, with streets and alleys still bustling.

But inside the newly repaired Demon-suppression Bureau Office.

Ten figures clad in profound armor slowly approached the quiet courtyard.

“Has the letter to the Capital Imperial City been sent? Is there a reply?”

The General of Yang’an Prefecture’s face was grave as he looked to the side.

Chen Qiankun took a deep breath, “General You hasn’t mentioned anything, so the situation must not be good.”

“It’s been stable only for a short while…”

The General of Yang’an Prefecture smiled wryly, thinking Qingzhou had finally settled down.

Yet those two, one vanished without a trace after going to Li State and the other too preoccupied with their promotion to attend to this place.

If those two were here, surely this Fox Demon would have reined in a bit.

As if he understood what was on his mind, Chen Qiankun whispered, “When we go in there later, don’t bring them up.”

After all, despite his age and lacking cultivation, the old man knew there were differences even among Primordial Grandmasters.

As the group walked into the Commander-in-Chief’s Mansion,

The many colonels guarding the outside all sighed in unison.

In the past, the profound armor with red cape seemed to hold a power to calm minds, with any major issue easily managed once the Demon-suppression Great General intervened.

But at this moment, these generals seemed no different from themselves.

“Don’t look inside, be careful or you’ll bring trouble upon yourself,” the old colonel warned his colleague.

“I just want to know who they’re looking for,” the young colonel said with a smile.

“You haven’t even reached the Initial Realm, you don’t have a single cloud pattern on you. If it were not for times of peace, you wouldn’t even be fit to wear that uniform. Who they’re looking for has nothing to do with you… They must be looking for that person anyway.” The old colonel shook his head with a sigh.

Hearing this, Chen Ji gripped the handle of his knife at his waist, his smile fading away.

And at that moment, within the courtyard,

An old man wrapped in a white fur sat in a recliner, holding a teacup.

In front of him, You Longtao stood with hands hanging down.

A group of generals held documents and reported one by one: “No sign of the thief in Linjiang Prefecture, nor any sightings of Qingqiu fox cultivators.”

A’Qian clenched her teeth in anger, tilting her head to one side.

Behind her, Lin Baiwei stepped forward and reported on her behalf: “The demon-hunters have searched beyond Qingzhou and found no sign of the thief.”

Almost everyone knew who the thief was.

Including the Fox Demon before them.

But nobody had mentioned that name out loud.

“Tsk, can’t find them, eh?”

The old man with white hair propped himself up, sneering, “Then keep searching until you do.”

He slammed the teacup on the stone table, “A bunch of useless fools, get on with it!”
