Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

If there were another Xuan Qing, Shen Yi's horrific talent would be an even greater disaster for the Seven Sons of South Hong... possibly even leading to their complete annihilation.

It should be noted that the Immortal might not have forgotten Nanyang yet.

"Xuan Qing understands now."

Li Xuanqing remained silent for a moment before finally turning and walking out of the hall.

"If you truly understand, that's good. But you're going off to find those old friends again," Sect Master Qing Yue remarked with a rare raise of her eyebrows, watching as Xuan Qing, as if he hadn't heard, stepped out of the great hall. She finally sighed.

"There's no need to search anymore, at least for now. He far surpasses you."

"At least among the seven Daozi, three are willing to stand up for him, unlike with you, where the other six initially only wanted to kill you to mend their Dao Heart."

Sect Master Qing Yue took out a Dao Plate, which relayed a message previously sent by Bai Wu.

Her silence after Xuan Qing entered had already signified her stance, which did not prevent Bai Wu from leaving the sect.

"Thank you, Elder Ji," Xuan Qing said, pausing before finally bowing deeply.

However, he felt somewhat helpless in his heart. Sect Master Shen's performance was flawless, but his way of doing things was truly a headache.

He never communicated with others, always acting alone, quietly handling major affairs on his own.

Just like this time, he had arranged everything in advance without notifying anyone, unnecessarily causing him to make an extra trip and endure a lecture from Elder Ji.

"Go find your old friends if you wish; someone has already come forward anyway. I've asked Bai Wu to have them stay at the Pure Moon Sect for a while," Sect Master Ji added indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Qing stiffened.

He then turned and quickly tried to leave.

During their conversation.

Outside the Pure Moon Sect, in the company of the Su sisters, an elderly woman with white hair down to her waist, holding a Bao Hua walking stick, stood slowly, her stunningly beautiful bare-footed companion carefully supporting her.

"It's too kind of you to come from afar to attend the Seven Sons Grand Assembly. Please be sure to visit the Heavenly Sword Sect when you have time," Su Hongxiu said, her voice much gentler in the presence of the elderly lady.

Sect Master Bao Hua, a titan at the Unity Realm Stage.

The Treasure Flower Sect, located on the boundary between South Hong and West Hong, rightly should cultivate ties with the powers of Western Hong to jointly defend against the Western Dragon Palace. Due to certain special relationships, however, their bond with the Seven Sons of South Hong was actually stronger.

"Just taking a look around," the old woman remarked with a hint of sentimentality. It had been a long time since she last visited this place.

Following this, a streak of flowing light darted into the distance entered her sight.

She blinked slightly in surprise.

With the power of someone at the Union Dao Stage, she easily recognized the wooden figure in the streak of light and the familiar aura she had longed for day and night.

The old woman stayed silent for a long while before revealing a faint smile, "How wonderful."

Though the other party still refused to shift their gaze toward her, at least she had seen that figure again.

"What's wonderful?"

Su Yushang asked softly, driven by curiosity.

"I don't know," replied Fairy Bao Hua in a lowered voice, clearly distracted.

"I heard you've recently started managing sect affairs. Why not focus on your cultivation first? Your level is really quite low," Su Yushang said bluntly, indicating a good relationship between them.

"I'm handling both. After all, I'm much younger than you," Fairy Bao Hua responded, glancing nervously at her master and quickly shifting the topic.

She certainly couldn't discuss in front of her master that she was only making the sect Steward search for someone, and that her attendance at the Seven Sons Grand Assembly was also an attempt to sneak out and see if the Alliance Sects had any news.

The plight of a young cultivator with the strength of the fifth layer of Return to Void, handsome as well—how could he possibly be a nobody? It was utterly frustrating not to have found anything.

"What's happening?"

The old woman withdrew her gaze and looked up at the sky, having long sensed the presence of many Baiyu Capital Cultivators, though she had previously been too disinterested to inquire.

Now, seeing Xuan Qing again.

If the Seven Sons of South Hong were in trouble, she wouldn't mind lending a hand.

"It's just a trivial matter, no need for you to worry," Su Hongxiu reassured with a slight nod.

As her voice fell, figures one after another appeared in the sky, bowing deeply toward Sect Master Bao Hua: "We, the younger generation, greet Sect Master Bao Hua."

All were high-ranking elders or direct disciples.

Surface-level respects were certainly not lacking.

Yet as they exchanged quiet glances, ripples stirred in their hearts.

Many had already received messages and knew what had transpired at Yunxiao Pavilion.

The current power of Sect Master Shen seemed far different from what they understood,

how a young cultivator who had left the sect only a few months ago managed to organize this assembly was mind-boggling.

In the support of three Daozi, this leaderless Union Dao treasure land seemed mostly secured by him already.

The rest was to reach the boundary of Baiyu Capital as soon as possible before anything unexpected happened.

Though equally daunting, compared to the situation before, this was almost perfect.

Many Baiyu Capital Cultivators were already contemplating withdrawal.

They also recalled the conversation between Liu Xingshan and Daozi Bai Wu.

Could it be that there were other interpretations inside the Yunxiao Pavilion's incident?

The more they observed, the more it seemed like taking sides.

A group of radical Daozi planned to unite and reform the sect's discipline, and by leveraging Sect Master Shen's prestigious identity, aimed to change the previous attitude between the Immortal Sect and Dragon Palace?

This matter was not a "minor issue" as Su Hongxiu had mentioned.
