Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

In the cold and eerily silent Dragon Palace hall,

the Insect Demon's head was abruptly seized, its features wooden, with only the corners of its eyes twitching slightly, "He... he..."

The drunkenness seemed to have largely faded, but it never dared to fully sober up.

As Elder Ke Si's most relied upon Great Demon General, its strength even surpassed the three demons from the Immortal's Cave, and to call it the personal guard of the Dragon Descendants, the last line of defense, was no exaggeration.

At this moment, however, the Insect Demon could only stare blankly at the figures surrounding it, dumbfounded.

Many of the Great Demons had been besieging Yunxiao Pavilion alongside it just before, but now they were calmly staring at it with indifferent eyes, their bodies shrouded in blood plasma, emitting a rich aquatic scent.

It was almost unimaginable how many aquatic lives these Great Demons must have claimed before stepping into the Dragon Descendants' palace.

"You—"

No sooner had the Insect Demon begun to speak than Wu Jun expressionlessly choked its neck with the web of his hand.

Their strength was evenly matched.

But under the watchful eyes of more than a dozen pairs, the Insect Demon didn't dare harbor even the slightest thought of resistance, its face flushed red, struggling feebly out of instinct, casting a fearful glance towards the dark-clad figure seated on the throne.

A plea for mercy filled its eyes.

It was not stupid and immediately realized who called the shots in this situation.

Despite the young man's face being utterly unfamiliar to the point of extremity, no matter how the Insect Demon pondered, it could not identify the other party.

But being able to command so many Great Demons, this dark-robed youth's status must be enough to make everyone tremble with fear and apprehension.

To live, there was only hope if the other nodded.

Everything was negotiable. They were the Great Demons of White Jade Capital, and even within the entirety of Hongze, they were rare and powerful beings.

Unless it was a life-and-death feud, or one was mad, no one would willingly waste such helpful power so casually.

"..."

Shen Yi, not knowing when, had already risen from the throne with a letter in his hand, carefully examining the handwriting on it.

After a moment, he looked up slightly.

His pale and slender fingers casually flicked, such an effortless gesture, yet it seemed more effective than any Imperial Edict, simply and clearly pronouncing the doom of the two Great Demons.

Wu Jun withdrew his inquiring gaze and looked down at the Insect Demon in his grasp.

His fingers suddenly exerted force!

Golden patterns spread from his wrist to his fingertips, piercing through the other's neck and frantically probed into its body.

"Err! Err!"

The Insect Demon violently grasped Wu Jun's arm, its demonic power erupted instantly, causing his wrist to shatter a few specks of stone.

However, the expression of the Golden Patterned Turtle Demon remained unchanged. He focused earnestly on choking the Insect Demon's throat, struggling to suppress the whimpers that tried to escape.

This bizarre and silent scene made the entire hall chillingly cold.

"Roar!"

The other Great Demon sitting across from them finally mustered the courage and abruptly rose, intent on unleashing its demon form and fighting to the death with this group.

But before its body had fully straightened, seven or eight arms had already brazenly shot forward, grabbing its various joints and forcibly pushing it to its knees on the ground!

Boom—

The instant its knees collided with the jade floor, the hall shook violently, as if it was about to collapse altogether.

The atmosphere of the eighteen Great Demons of White Jade Capital enshrouded the two figures completely.

Under the pressure of various Innate Divine Abilities, the valiant generals under the Dragon Descendants' command were as helpless as chicks, their bones shattered inch by inch, their faces smeared with blood, their eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets, displaying both ferocity and despair!

Crack.

Wu Jun twisted and broke the Insect Demon's neck, watching the large form slump down from his embrace like mud, its corpse with lingering warmth collapsed on the floor.

He casually rubbed his wrist and then, accompanied by a host of ferocious-faced Great Demon Town Stones, neatly turned around, their faces filled with deep reverence. They clasped their fists in both hands and bowed to the young cultivator above the hall.

Though not a word was spoken, the hall was empty and silent, but the stone-like bodies smeared with patches of crimson and the dense, suffocating scent of blood still made the scene seem inexplicably horrifying.

The dark robe swayed gently.

Shen Yi closed his eyes, feeling the aura on the letter.

The deliberately left aura signature in the letter clearly had the scent of a prestigious lineage.

Ordinarily, even if it wasn't just an aura signature, even if the other party stood right in front of him, Shen Yi might not recognize them.

After all, his understanding of the Seven Sons of Hong was truly minimal.

But coincidentally... he did recognize this aura.

When he had first left the Nanyang Treasure Land, he had seen six stone Dao Plates, and the aura on the Heavenly Sword Sect's Dao Plate was exactly the same as that on this letter.

He hadn't expected this additional discovery.

The hidden attack that had long been a concern for Shen Yi had finally revealed its true face.

His handsome face showed neither joy nor anger, tranquil as a still well, seemingly very calm.

"Go," Shen Yi opened his eyes and nodded slightly.

Then the eighteen figures swiftly exited the hall, dispersing at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and only when they were far enough away did they burst forth with their aura!

This was not a sudden fit of madness on his part, wanting to draw the attention of the Dragon Palace.

Instead, it was because during the previous hunt, due to time constraints, the closer they got to the later targets, the closer they were to the territories of those Great Demon Generals of White Jade Capital. Even if they acted decisively, with the countless creatures in the vast waters, it was inevitable that word got out.
