Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1250 - 751: What If I Insist on Having a Share?

True Master Yun Miao, with a gentle smile, quietly watched the young man before him.

"..."

Shen Yi did not rush to respond but instead directed his gaze to the clear water in the cup.

These prominent figures of the Three Religions, their words always concealed cryptic meanings.

The opponent’s attitude was extremely courteous, making it hard to find fault, but the meaning expressed was the same as that of the woman in the pink brocade beside him.

What does it mean by coming and going freely?

That is a guest’s treatment, not for the members of the Three Immortals Sect, let alone the disciples of Lingxu Cave.

If he wished to remain at Lingxu Cave, he could, but it would only be as a guest. Although there was no time limit, the people of the Bodhi Sect would not come here to cause trouble, which sounded good, at least solving the immediate problem of his survival.

But if he agreed to this, he, Shen Yi, would become a Loose Cultivator, completely severing ties with the affairs of the North Continent.

After all, as long as he left Lingxu Cave, what reason would the Three Immortals Sect have to protect him? If he intended to compete for something, they could easily band together and kill this destitute man from the Southern Continent without any issue.

Besides this, Shen Yi would not be eligible to practice the arts of Lingxu Cave’s Immortal Sect; how could their great path be passed on to an outsider?

To obtain this safe haven, the price was to stay here and lay low. If he ever stepped out and encountered any issues, the Three Immortals Sect would have nothing to do with them.

The Human Emperor was indeed worthy of the title Human Emperor; even while in the depths of alcohol, he saw through his fate at a glance.

So he used those last few words to soothe Shen Yi’s unwilling heart.

Living peacefully like this, without participating in any great calamities, as long as he could live to the end, regardless of the result, there would always be a place for him.

"..."

Shen Yi closed his eyes and let out a light breath, "Hoo."

This trip had indeed broadened his horizons.

Since the beginning of Great Qian, Shen Yi had often heard the words "creatures suffering greatly," hence he was always cautious, not daring to take a wrong step. Fortunately, his luck was alright, and until now, he had not seen a true human purgatory.

He did not expect to see it this time.

The ruined city, the debris scattered everywhere, the broken corpses. If the Southern Continent were to fall, it would probably be in the same state as the North Continent now.

"Is this not satisfying?"

Shen Yi’s prolonged silence, coupled with the sigh, seemed to strike a nerve for Ling Su. Her brows furrowed sharply, and with some annoyance, she said, "Don’t think I don’t know what you’re contemplating; stop dreaming!"

"The elders of my sect personally fought with the National Guardian General of the Divine Dynasty, and with the painstaking efforts of my sect, we’ve created this good situation in the North Continent. You, a cultivator from the Southern Continent, did nothing but come here to try and share the spoils. What gives you the right?"

"Giving you a cave to protect you isn’t satisfying enough for you."

"If your Insect Demon master ever taught you the meaning of shame, you’d either settle here honestly or roll back to the Southern Continent!"

Listening to Ling Su’s rapid-fire, sharp, and cutting words, True Master Yun Miao uncharacteristically didn’t intervene.

He had played the good cop, and it was time for someone to play the bad cop, helping the Southern Continent cultivator recognize the current situation.

From the other party’s actions after coming to Lingxu Cave, it seemed he was a reserved and sensible person. And with these words, it would be enough to shut this young man up.

"..."

Under the gaze of both, Shen Yi remained silent for a long time before abruptly smiling.

This smile made True Master Yun Miao subconsciously frown slightly. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Shen Yi looked up at the woman in the pink brocade, showing little emotion: "A letter from the North Continent forced us all out of seclusion. At this time, it was our great sect’s scheme."

"The Bodhi Sect dispersed my sect."

"That monk killed my master."

"I fled desperately, finally reaching the North Continent."

"Now, it has become your sect’s domain."

The clear voice echoed within the cave, without reprimand or complaint. Shen Yi’s face was not sorrowful; instead, there was a faint, elusive smile at the corner of his lips.

These tragic experiences, in his mouth, seemed eerily calm.

"You!"

Ling Su opened her mouth but was at a loss for words.

Then she saw the young man before her put down his teacup, slowly stand up, and come to her, looming over her.

The gentle and refined demeanor from before had vanished from his slightly blurry face, and a trace of fierceness quietly emerged in his clear eyes.

"What if I say..."

Shen Yi coldly stared at the girl, and the smile on his lips tinged with chilling mockery, "I must have a share of this?"

Under the gaze of these eyes, Ling Su trembled all over. Unable to organize her thoughts to refute, her mind was in chaos, and she couldn’t say a word.

"Tch."

Shen Yi did not give her a chance to speak, gracefully striding past the woman, heading straight out of the cave.

In that moment, his gaze turned solemn.

No matter what, even if he had to abandon this refuge, he had to keep his identity as a member of the Three Immortals Sect. In this tightly knit North Continent, if he were labeled an outsider, even if he had three heads and six arms, he would have no chance of making a name for himself.

"..."

True Master Yun Miao’s eyelid twitched instinctively.

He never expected this seemingly gentle young man to have such a strong character.

If this person were to leave this cave, and those words were heard by other comrades, he would not only fail to help Senior Brother Qing Guang resolve this issue but also be suspected of deliberately damaging the other’s reputation!

Though Qingguang Cave did not want to take responsibility, others did not know that.
