Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 587 Hmph! Thinking of Escaping? _2



"Somebody has died."

Ji Jingxi murmured.

Ye Jiu stood up and peered into the distance, his gaze casting a chill over the Great Demons holding flags around the Dragon Carriage.

"It's not Sect Master Shen."

Fortunately, Qi Yansheng extended his hand and hastily drew a paper crane to himself, hurriedly imbuing it with his Divine Soul. After reading the message inside, he was stunned in place.

A Mid Stage Heavenly Realm Great Demon had stepped into Southern Hong to venture toward Xuan Yue City, plotting an ambush on Sect Master Shen.

Every word was shockingly alarming.

Had the paper crane arrived just moments sooner, not to mention stopping Ye Jiu and Ji, he himself might have been unable to hold back his killing intent.

But these glaring words, together with the heavy snow in the sky at that moment, left Qi Yansheng at a loss for words.

A Heavenly Realm powerhouse had fallen...

"It's the Cold Mountain Ancestor."

Qi Yansheng turned to his two fellow disciples, his face filled with disbelief.

The disturbance earlier was indeed Heavenly Realm powerhouses clashing.

And before the clash, Junior Brother Deng had desperately sent back a message, but the most incomprehensible part was that the message had not reached the Seven Sons of Hong before the fight was over.

Ye Jiu turned around in astonishment, and Ji Jingxi, with slightly parted red lips, looked somewhat perplexed on her beautiful face.

Fortunately, this deathly still moment was soon broken by the violent shaking of the Dao Plate.

"Damn it! Guess what I just saw!"

Deng Xiangjun's frantic roar came from the Dao Plate, the Sect Master of the Unparalleled Sect eager to share the shock in his heart, but received no response.

"Good kill! Good kill!"

Only Ye Jiu's hearty laughter resonated around them, their Sect Master Shen's power was already formidable to this extent!

Ji Jingxi gently covered her lips, her clear, moist eyes unable to hide her joy and astonishment.

Truly, someone could single-handedly rescue Southern Hong from dire straits, despite already having the highest expectations for Shen Yi, but he still unsettled the entire Seven Sons of Hong with an even more terrifying posture.

"Old mudfish, are you dying now or not!"

Ye Jiu soared into the sky, his Flowing Light Longsword transforming into a rainbow that spanned thousands of miles, rushing towards the Dragon Carriage with a thunderous roar!

In Southern Hong, no one had laid a hand on the South Dragon King for a full hundred thousand years.

This was a challenge to the Lord of Southern Hong!

The Dragon Carriage instantly exploded, a thick dragon arm thrusting into the air, its rough fingers fiercely clutching the rainbow, accompanied by the sound of flesh tearing, a trace of dragon blood drifted away.

The massive right claw tightly grasped the rainbow.

The heavy breathing of the Dragon King echoed around, filled with indescribable fury.

Despite possessing strength superior to Ye Jiu, it took no further actions.

Having abruptly intercepted this Flowing Light Longsword, many of the Aquatic Race instantly sank down, heading straight back to the Green Stone Hall without turning back.

"Running?"

This time Ye Jiu didn't pursue, but merely gave a chilling smile, "Just wait for Shen Yi to return, if I don't come and annihilate your entire family, then I am no longer your grandpa!"

Shen Yi had slain a Mid Stage Heavenly Realm Great Demon, already possessing the ability to decide the course of events.

Like blocking a door.

Now that the situation had reversed, Ye Jiu didn't mind blocking the entrance of the Dragon Cave, slaughtering all the offspring of the Dragon Palace right in front of this old dragon.

...

Green Stone Hall, entrance of the Dragon Cave.

The majestic figure ignored the wound on his palm, grabbed Qi Zhaoyi by the collar, and forcibly lifted him, his voice suppressed yet still filled with killing intent: "Right now, I want to know what exactly the useless lot under your command are up to, and what have you hidden from me?"

"I...I..."

Qi Zhaoyi struggled to suppress his instinct to struggle, breathing rapidly, his face filled with terror, no longer daring to conceal: "I haven't received any messages for several days now."

"Then why didn't you say so!"

The South Dragon King violently threw him to the ground, roaring with a hint of steely fang, quite as if he was about to devour this eldest son of the Qi dragon family.

"I thought... I thought nothing would go wrong..."

Qi Zhaoyi's voice was as faint as a mosquito, finally facing the terrifying oppressive force of this old dragon head-on.

Although only one Boundary away, the accumulation of years had made its strength far surpass that of a normal Late Stage Heavenly Realm powerhouse, not to mention the enhancement from the Dragon Qi in this place.

Faced with such pressure, he indeed dared not lie.

Until now, Qi Zhaoyi couldn't figure out what his subordinates and the group of West Hong Demons were doing—why had all gone silent as if they had completely evaporated from the world?

Even if that Shen person was strong, he was only one person; how could he turn the tide alone?

Why would there be such an existence in the world that was completely beyond understanding!

And...

"I am also unsure; Cold Mountain Ancestor only has an empty reputation, he turns out to be so weak."

"Heh—"

South Dragon King closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly relaxed his hand.

Qi Zhaoyi finally got a chance to catch his breath, quickly flipped up, and while backing away, bowed with his hands clasped, "Uncle... Uncle Ke... South Dragon King, I will return to West Hong immediately and make sure my father comes to support you, rest assured. Your great kindness and great deeds, Zhaoyi will never forget!"

While the Seven Sons of South Hong now had four Late Stage Heavenly Realm powerhouses at their disposal, in contrast, the Southern Dragon Palace had only a father and son, and considering the father's naturally cautious nature, it was highly unlikely that he would leave the Dragon Cave and fight to the death with the Seven Sons.

Perhaps the Southern Dragon Palace could still barely hold off the Seven Sons now, but with Shen Yi's freakish growth rate, the outcome was already sealed.

Qi Zhaoyi had to have been stuffed to stay in this place and deliver his life gratuitously.

"..."

The South Dragon King finally adjusted his emotions and glanced at this person, saying indifferently, "Go then, there's no need for more words."

His Dragon Palace was not unaccustomed to tasting weakness.

Although the Sect Master of Nanyang was somewhat a surprise, how did he compare to that Half-Step Dao Realm Qin Jiaoyang from before? As long as he endured enough, wasn't it still himself who would survive in the end?

Moreover, that Immortal wouldn't allow another Cultivator with the qualifications to ascend heaven to emerge from the Seven Sons of Nanhong.

"Junior is immensely grateful to the South Dragon King for his mercy!"

Hearing this, Qi Zhaoyi sighed in relief and honestly intended to exit.

At that moment, however, the Ke Family Crown Prince suddenly grabbed him. As Qi Zhaoyi looked on in surprise and uncertainty, the Crown Prince stared at the South Dragon King and hesitated for a moment before saying softly, "Father, allow your son to escort him back to West Hong. It will also make it convenient for your son to go and request reinforcements from the West Dragon King..."

As soon as he said this, the South Dragon King's figure slightly stiffened.

It turned its head, gave a thorough look to its most valued eldest legitimate son, and after a long while, issued a playful laugh, "Escort? Request reinforcements?"

These words sure sounded nice.

Faced with his father's jeering, the Ke Family Crown Prince swallowed, averted his gaze, his voice somewhat hoarse, "Father loves me the most because I'm the most like you, aren't I."

"..."

The South Dragon King's palms clenched and then relaxed repetitively.

After quite a while, it indifferently withdrew its gaze, "Reasonable, farewell then."

"Father..."

The Ke Family Crown Prince slowly knelt down, bowing several times to that towering figure, "Take care."

For some reason, even with the existence of the Dragon Cave, he felt that his father's days were numbered. With the Sect Master of Nanyang's sword looming overhead, something was bound to go wrong within a few hundred years.

In fact, having reviewed the documents related to Shen Yi, the Ke Family Crown Prince had already felt an ominous premonition, and the fall of Cold Mountain Ancestor today, as well as the mysterious disappearance of those Great Demons, further confirmed his thoughts.

This person was simply too strong to confront; while the other party was still relatively weak, either eradicate them completely or stay far away.

Father didn't have the courage to fight to the death; eradicating was likely out of hope, so it was no blame if he chose to avoid.

"Scram!"

The South Dragon King said no more and with a wave of his hand, sent these two figures flying out of the Green Stone Hall.

It suddenly found this rather amusing.

Again, it was Nanyang Sect, and merely by slaying a Mid Heavenly Realm Wild Demon, it had frightened these two future heirs of the Dragon Palace into such a state.

"Run... Run..."

The South Dragon King stretched his hand into the Dragon Cave, retrieved an ancient Glazing Crown, and meticulously placed it on top of his head.

With an icy gaze fixed on this abyssal expanse, his expression suddenly turned fierce, and under the empowerment of the vast Dragon Qi, a majestic dragon's roar echoed throughout the water domain.

"As long as this King is alive, the Southern Dragon Palace will remain eternally solid!"

"Is this water a place you dare to tread?! Do you dare?!"

"Even Qin Jiaoyang couldn't move this King; with just you few rotten fish and shrimp, it's truly a joke."

Amidst these roaring sounds.

Outside the Green Stone Palace, the two dragon heirs staggered slightly in their steps.

The Ke Family Crown Prince looked back with complex emotions; his father seemed to have finally lost that steadiness, unfortunately, it was a bit too late—he no longer trusted him as before.

It was better to leave this place sooner.
