Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 339: Chapter 337: Chronicles of Subduing Demons in Nanyang (Yesterday was a leave, not a break in updates)

“This is…”

Jiang Qiulan’s expression changed slightly as she looked at the Mysterious Sword and the Storage Treasure, vaguely guessing something as she raised her head to look at Shen Yi.

Shen Yi nodded slightly.

He then briefly explained to her about Xuanguang Cave Cultivator Zheng Zisheng, and the incident of the Zheng Family’s cultivated ancient tree that turned on them.

Clearly, that esteemed disciple of the Mysterious Sword Real Man had inadvertently stumbled upon the Zheng Family’s secret and had ultimately failed to make it out alive.

But a single Zheng Family definitely wouldn’t be able to pin this affair on a Demon Emperor of the nineteen caves.

It was bound to involve the hand of a Transcendent Spirit True Man from the Xuanguang Cave.

“I understand.”

Jiang Qiulan quickly grasped the meaning of Shen Yi’s words.

The Shenxiao True Thunder Sword Technique was a closely guarded secret of Wutong Mountain, and now that it had fallen into the outside world, if she could retrieve it, it would be as though she had achieved a great merit for Wutong Mountain.

Perhaps, she might even earn a favor from Nie Jun.

The prerequisite was to prove her innocence in the death of that disciple.

Beyond that, there was another use: to conceal her identity and find a way to threaten the Xuanguang Cave.

If handled properly, she didn’t know how much benefit she could squeeze out of them.

But whichever option, the risk involved was immense.

If there was the slightest error, either Wutong Mountain or Xuanguang Cave could easily kill her.

After contemplating for a moment, Jiang Qiulan slowly gathered all these items into the Storage Treasure.

She had just said she did not want to be like a little beast waiting for its parents to return from hunting to feed it, and when a fresh fish was served, it still needed to have all the bones removed, leaving only the succulent flesh.

Thus, Shen Yi had laid down a live fish.

If she couldn’t even eat the food before her mouth, then she should stop talking big.

“I won’t let them go to waste,” Jiang Qiulan said with an increasingly solemn face, knowing that Shen Yi wouldn’t care about this, but she cared greatly and wanted him to know as well.

With the strength the young man had previously shown, there weren’t many entities in this world that could threaten his life; Wutong Mountain was one of them.

She didn’t need a very high status.

Just being able to stand by and serve tea and water while the elders discussed matters would be of great help to Shen Yi.

“Be careful above all else.”

Shen Yi did not express too much concern or fuss.

This woman’s pressure was already large enough.

He simply turned and looked towards the creek, saying casually, “If you can’t make it, then return to Great Qian.”

Hearing this, Jiang Qiulan looked towards his waist, her fingertips twitched slightly, but ultimately she did not raise her hand.

For a sharp sword.

When the scabbard’s blade outshines the sword edge, it has already lost its value and become somewhat tragic.

What she had to do now was to make herself sharp and tough again.

At least when the scabbard was unsheathed, she wouldn’t have to worry about being shattered inside it.

“All right,” Jiang Qiulan said softly.

He already possessed the power to garrison Jiuzhou.

It even made her feel somewhat indulgent in that comfort, but like Shen Yi who once passed by Baiyun County, passed by Qingzhou, if she became complacent in that comfort, she too would become just a passerby along his journey.

“You may go,” Shen Yi nodded lightly.

Feeling the cold wind rise up behind him and then dissipate on the spot.

He reached out and took a water lotus, giving it a glance.

After breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, it had nearly no value to him.

But the blood stains left on it represented a piece of sentiment.

He then put it into the silver bell.

Only after that did Shen Yi take out two Storage Treasures from the possessions of the Xuanguang Cave Cultivator.

He called out to Qinghua in his heart.

The Golden Body Dharma Identity swept back at a speed invisible to the naked eye. Since it had imprisoned the White Feathered Demon Emperor in the great prison, those few dark golden feathers had brought its speed to an astoundingly high level.

The effect was actually quite good.

If there were any problems in Great Qian, it could arrive with utmost haste.

The Golden Body Dharma Identity casually dropped a human figure.

Ma Guangshan crouched on the ground, trembling with fear, completely at a loss. It was supposed to be an exploration of a cultivator’s cave abode, so why had it turned out like this?

He hadn’t even reached the location of that cave abode yet.

Instead, he had first encountered cultivators from Mysterious Light Cave.

After the incident at the Eight Directions Food Pavilion last time, he thought that Senior Shen would take him to avoid those shameless cultivators.

To his surprise, the young man headed straight towards them.

And even cut down three of the Divinity Transformation Realm… Was this still the same Senior Shen who sat quietly in the corner at the food pavilion last time?!

If he had such strength himself,@@novelbin@@

Lady Nie Jun would be going up to the ninth floor, and at the very least he would be dining on the eighth.

“I’m going to trouble you with another matter.”

Shen Yi gestured for the other party to sit properly, and then he opened the two Storage Treasures.

He had thought a thorough search would be necessary.

But unexpectedly, the first thing his Divine Soul touched upon was a pile of ancient scrolls.

Shen Yi casually flipped through a few, all of them depicting landscapes, then looked towards Ma Guangshan, “What are these?”

The man with the black mole initially showed a shocked expression, followed quickly by intense fear in his eyes, “Th-These… My group of daoist friends and I agreed to explore the cave abode using this as evidence.”

Remembering the last incident made him overthink a bit.

Could it be that his group of daoist friends had also fallen at the hands of the Xuanguang Cave?

These beasts! And they dare call themselves an Immortal Sect!

Seeing that Senior Shen was still looking at him, he hurriedly explained, “This item isn’t actually valuable, similar to a Communication Jade Slip. It contains legendary stories, just more vivid and real. One simply needs to immerse their Divine Soul into it.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi pondered for a moment.

He passed a scroll to the Golden Body Dharma Identity.

Lady Qinghua also didn’t hesitate to immerse her Divine Soul into it.

About a few dozen breaths later, seeing no abnormalities and even receiving a nod from her,

Shen Yi then picked up another scroll.

He followed suit and immersed his Divine Soul.

Boom!

Instantly, a buzzing sounded in his mind!

Shen Yi subconsciously frowned.

He then looked towards the sea of clouds before him, and a voice like a great bell resonated in his ears.

“I, Yan Yun the Transcendent, recount my tale of subduing demons in Nanyang.”

As the deep voice faded, the sea of clouds suddenly rolled open.

A young man dressed in green robes gave a slight bow towards the skyline.

He then returned his gaze forward.

The next moment, Shen Yi’s pupils sharply constricted, and even his breathing seemed to hitch.

Before the young man lay an endless chasm, like a bottomless abyss. On the steep brink of the abyss, two large, pale white moons flickered and shone.

Shen Yi paused for a moment,

Before realizing those were a pair of eyes. As he gazed directly at the monstrous creature, a chilling coolness crept up his neck.

That intense pressure, thick enough to seem almost tangible, was clearly separated by a scroll, yet felt as if he were there in person, so real that it made breathing difficult.

“What exactly is this thing?”

Shen Yi steadied his mind and suddenly noticed the young man in front started moving.
