Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

It wasn't just about losing his child; even if he himself had died, the Southern Dragon Palace still had to contemplate whether to consult the Western Dragon Palace.

How long had the Nanyang Sect been reestablished? Based solely on those natives within the treasure land, what entitled them to receive such substantial support from the South Hong Seven Sons?

Or perhaps, the Nanyang Sect was merely an excuse.

Was it actually that the attitudes of the South Hong Seven Sons towards the Dragon Palace had shifted, and after a long silence, they wanted to step forward again and vie for the discourse power in Southern Hong?

If it was the latter, that would indeed be troublesome.

Ke Shiliang momentarily disregarded Ke Shisan's death; after all, he did not just have this one son.

Occupying the position of a prince, there were many more matters to consider.

Of course... the most important reason was that he was there to reason, not having brought enough manpower. If it really came to a fight, he was bound to die today.

As for what price the South Hong Seven Sons would have to pay after his death, it seemed to have nothing to do with him.

"Give this prince an explanation."

Ke Shiliang ignored the madwoman above and turned his gaze towards Wei Yuanzhou in the distance.

In comparison, he felt even the Ling Yun Sect's Daozi had become much more amiable and easier to talk to.

"The South Hong Seven Sons are not unreasonable."

Wei Yuanzhou raised an eyebrow, someone had to play bad cop after the good cop.

Su Hongxiu was not mindless, just fiercely determined.

These Daozi often needed only a glance to understand each other's intentions.

"But that's not how you reason."

Wei Yuanzhou casually pointed to nearby Demon Soldiers: "If you wish to meet Sect Master Shen, then follow the rules properly, have your elder brothers send a greeting card, prepare a banquet, and when Sect Master Shen has time, he will attend the banquet and give you an explanation."

"If this prince remembers correctly, the Seven Sons Grand Assembly hasn't been convened yet, he doesn't seem to be the Sect Master yet?"

Ke Shiliang ignored Elder Ke Si beside him, whose murderous intent was palpable; this bastard had no way back and wanted to fight to the death, but why should he accompany him to his death.

Hearing this, Wei Yuanzhou's fingertips scraped past Bai Wu and Su Hongxiu, and finally pointed to himself, saying lightly: "He already is."

"Not…" Bai Wu's lips twitched again.

When did he say he wanted to be involved in this? He wasn't as carefree as these two; the Qing Yue Sect's family discipline was extremely strict, he had no power to make decisions.

Moreover, Bai Wu truly couldn't understand.

It was acceptable for Wei Yuanzhou to take action, since his mind wasn't normal, and the matter involving Wei Yuanling could sort of be justified.

But what madness had struck Su Hongxiu.

She was not one to meddle unnecessarily.

Even Bai Wu couldn't understand, let alone others; at this moment, everyone appeared stunned and rooted to the spot.

Even Yan Xianqing, who was most familiar with Sect Master Shen, appeared tongue-tied now. As a vassal of the Nanyang Immortal Sect, how could they not know that Sect Master Shen actually had such great influence?

He didn't even need to show his face,

to willingly make other Sect's Daozi stand out for him.

Like the incidents that happened previously, although Yan Xianqing admired Shen Yi's temperament and strength, he couldn't help but acknowledge that handling everything personally did not befit the status of a Sect Master.

An Imperial Edict, three Daozi dispatched.

Unwittingly, Sect Master Shen had already come to possess such a daunting status.

"This prince understands now."

Ke Shiliang nodded, then looked back: "Withdraw troops."

Having said that, he turned back again: "Invitation, banquet, this prince will prepare everything necessary, just hope that Sect Master Shen doesn't pretend not to see it, letting South Hong be ridiculed."

"…"

Su Hongxiu did not say another word from beginning to end, only her quietly flickering fingertips gradually halted.

The incense stick had burned out.

In that instant, a dense white light occupied everyone's vision.

All senses were cloaked by the white light.

When the light dissipated, all Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals, including Ke Shiliang, instinctively headed into the sea, leaving behind tens of fresh corpses in the Wang Yang, the dark red blood plasma making the water surface murky.

This time, even Wei Yuanzhou couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

This Heavenly Sword Daozi had taken the Hongmeng Heavenly Soldier in advance.

Did she really want to fight?

Even though Elder Ke Si's cultivation was not as high as Su Hongxiu's at her peak, it wasn't far off, yet he did not retaliate. Instead, the moment Su Hongxiu made a move, he took his two demon generals and fled far away.

One-on-one, facing Tianjian Daozi in this state, he might have had some chance of winning.

But he definitely couldn't have killed him.

And the only two subordinates he had left were bound to be dealt with here.

Then it would truly be over.

The Dragon Palace Demon Soldiers arrived quickly and retreated even faster, to the point that it caught everyone somewhat off guard.

In the space of a few breaths, the pervasive demonic aura had completely dissipated.

The azure ocean returned to calm.

"Is it over just like that?" The master of Yunxiao Pavilion stared blankly to the side.

The major event that had terrified them ended up not even qualifying Sect Master Shen to make an appearance.

No wonder the Yan Family and Xuan Yue City were so willing to come over; they had secretly climbed up the tree again without telling him.

While everyone was still immersed in shock, the figure in the golden thread white robe in the sky finally moved, showing a slight restraint.

"Weren't you worried that Elder Ke Si would really fight you to the death?" Wei Yuanzhou shook his head helplessly as he looked at the woman.

"She just suffered a setback and was a bit too fiery,"

Su Hongxiu explained briefly. With a flick of her sleeve, a thick purple light returned to the sky and disappeared into the gates of Immortal City.

Her intentions of playing the good cop were genuine, but her killing intent when she struck was also real.

Perhaps it was because she was annoyed with that old dragon who, despite planning to leave, still took the chance to ridicule Shen Yi — a cultivator who was as decisive and straightforward as herself could not possibly hide away.

He just needed more time, that's all.

"I will send a message to Nanyang Sect, just wait until the Seven Sons Grand Assembly, everything will start to improve,"

Wei Yuanzhou whispered softly. Although he did not know why Su Hongxiu had come, it must be related to the same young Sect Master as himself: "You should also take care to control your emotions, being able to recover to this state so quickly is probably Uncle Zhang's help. He surely didn't help you just to cause trouble."

"So much nonsense, you really think you're a Daozi leader."

Su Hongxiu turned into a streak of light and disappeared from the spot.

"..."

Wei Yuanzhou, already familiar with her pride, did not say much more.

He just shook his head with a bit of embarrassment.

"Tsk."

Bai Wu watched Wei Yuanzhou with great interest, opening his mouth as if he found it particularly amusing, making a tsk tsk sound.

Some people had been standing there for half a day, wishing to say more but never got the chance. It might seem trivial because everyone knows about Tianjian Daozi's personality.

But by comparison, others didn't even need to speak, and Su Hongxiu would travel thousands of miles to come here.

The visible disparity truly made Brother Wei seem somewhat pitiful, evoking a sense of pathos... Hahaha.

"I don't understand what you're laughing at."

Elder Chi Yang and Liu Shiqian helplessly exchanged glances; both were Daozi, yet their own seemed to have no ambition at all.

It was unknown where his mind was wandering off to.

"But luckily, we managed to buy some time for Sect Master Shen, allowing him to rest easy for a while," Elder Chi Yang remarked with a sigh.

"..." Liu Shiqian didn't respond but his brow was furrowed with a barely noticeable worry.

He was temporarily not worried about the Dragon Palace, but his mind was preoccupied with another matter.

After all, Sect Master Shen, relying on sheer power, had managed to offend the Prince of the Dragon Palace in just a few months...

While Elder Liu's thoughts were unsettled.

At the Nanyang Sect, in the top floor of the Law Storage Pavilion,

a young man in black robes quietly opened his eyes. He took out a jade Dao Plate and quietly listened to the message left by Xuan Qing.

His pale and handsome face remained expressionless.

But in those deep, black eyes, a dangerous aura slowly emerged.

"..."
