Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1269 - 759 My Waters Run Deep_2

"..."

The White Ape narrowed its eyes slightly. In fact, Heavenly Tower Mountain was easy to find; there was no need to discern the direction.

At a glance, where it looked most human was the place.

There were shelters to rest in, water and food to fill one’s belly—such ordinary matters had become a kind of spectacle in the North Continent nowadays.

The refugees here vaguely glimpsed the silhouette of a demon. Although equally terrified, at least they were well-fed and had the strength to flee. They did not kneel on the spot waiting to die; instead, they converged toward the tallest mountain peak.

On the peak stood a hastily built Immortal Temple. It was neither grand nor beautiful, rather crude in appearance.

It was hard to imagine that such a shrine could safeguard anything from such ferocious demons.

The White Ape grinned, revealing sharp fangs.

Its gaze also fell on that Immortal Temple.

To occupy a dojo in the North Continent, it’s never about erecting a shrine or a temple, but the power and prestige ensuring that the Immortal Temple stands forever. Those outsiders have truly underestimated the matter.

"Roar!"

The White Ape roared again. The next moment, it stomped the ground heavily, and its massive body soared through the air, charging straight towards the Immortal Temple.

Raging demonic power swept like a giant wave. Even before the fist arrived, the small Immortal Temple was already shaking violently.

The refugees stared blankly at the blood-red sky curtain.

They knew better than anyone what would happen next, yet they were powerless to change anything.

That’s the way the world is now; they were like mud, trampled and helpless. If they survived by luck, they would wait for the next Immortal to descend.

The next moment, the boundless demonic power vanished like a clay ox into the sea, disappearing without a trace.

The red clouds in the sky curtain gradually faded.

The mighty Great Demon remained suspended stiffly in mid-air.

It was very close to the Immortal Temple; with just a bit more effort, it could smash it with one punch.

But between the two, a figure in white as snow quietly hovered in the air.

Many had seen this figure before because he often wandered aimlessly among them, never fearing to dirty his pristine robes.

Ever since his arrival, the Immortals became more considerate, not only building shelters for them but also ensuring they had enough food and water, so they no longer had to scramble like livestock for grains on the ground.

But because this Immortal Master lived so close to the mundane world and was always in the refugees’ sight, now that he was high up in the sky, his ethereal figure seemed somewhat unfamiliar.

"..."

Shen Yi looked calmly at the struggling White Ape ahead, slightly extending his hand. The power of Taixu transformed into an invisible giant hand, gripping the demon’s neck.

"Hiss!"

The White Ape frantically mobilized its demonic power, hoping to break free from this constraint.

But it could never break loose.

It finally gave up resistance, yet did not plead for mercy; it continued to act fiercely.

It had completed the task assigned by Hao Ming True Monarch. This pool of water was neither too shallow for it to stir nor too deep either.

The opponent might have extraordinary talent and a firm path, showing strength far beyond the Three-Three Transformation stage, but apparently had not truly crossed to the next level, far from comparing to Hao Ming True Monarch.

In other words, the opponent certainly wouldn’t be able to harm it today.

So, naturally, there was no need to panic.

Sure enough, two streams of light swiftly approached from the sky curtain, the apologetic voice arriving first.

"Misunderstanding, fellow Daoist!"

Hao Ming True Monarch arrived with his junior disciple, a helpless smile on his face. First, he clasped hands towards Shen Yi, then cast a disapproving glance at the White Ape, reprimanding it: "I have reached a bottleneck in my cultivation, and this beast acted on my orders to collect a bit of Emperor’s Aura. Who knew its ferocity hadn’t subsided, leading it to cross the boundary unintentionally."

"I hope fellow Daoist can understand and let me take this beast back; I will surely give it a thorough reprimand."

"..."

Hua Ming, standing behind his senior brother, secretly rolled his eyes.

He clearly felt it’s a pity for not decisively taking Heavenly Tower Mountain.

These Southern Continent cultivators indeed had some means.

This time, they gauged the situation; taking this place would not be difficult. He just feared Senior Sister You Yao’s progress was too fast, causing some unforeseen changes.

Thinking of this, Hua Ming felt more irritated. When he looked at the silent young cultivator across, he was annoyed: "You cultivator, don’t be unreasonable. My senior brother already apologized; release the Ape Demon quickly."

"Shut up."

Hao Ming True Monarch frowned at him, then smiled again, clasping hands towards the opponent: "Fellow Daoist is generous and understanding. I know the rules well. After I punish this beast, I will surely send a disciple with compensation to show my apology."

Perhaps due to being ordinary for too long, he was cautious.

Given his cultivation and background, Hao Ming True Monarch shouldn’t need to be so courteous to a Southern Continent cultivator. Moreover, many matters, such as compensating for releasing a Great Demon, were North Continent’s rules, irrelevant to the opponent.

But he didn’t want more trouble, so he followed the usual protocol.

He stepped back considerably; if the opponent still wouldn’t let go, then they’d be truly unreasonable.

After speaking, Hao Ming True Monarch turned to the White Ape, scolding: "Beast, hurry back!"

The White Ape bowed its head in acknowledgment and stepped towards him. But as soon as it moved, a hint of confusion flashed across its face.

It turned back, only to see that young man in white still hovering quietly. Yet the invisible giant hand gripping its neck had no intention of letting go.

"Fellow Daoist?"

Hao Ming True Monarch also sensed something was wrong. He furrowed his brows and looked at Shen Yi.

"Your apology,"

Shen Yi met his gaze calmly and suddenly smiled: "What’s it worth?"

Before the words fell, the White Ape suddenly felt an immense crisis, instinctively letting out a frenzied roar.

The power of Taixu gripping its neck tightened cruelly, digging into its flesh. The next moment, a dull cracking echoed. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Not just its neck, but even its limbs were simultaneously snapped by the power of Taixu. The once fierce Great Demon turned into a heap of mangled flesh within moments!

Till its death, the White Ape’s face still bore a mask of disbelief.

Hao Ming True Monarch and his junior disciple wore similar expressions, stunned in place.

The youth’s calm voice was so grating that it made the even-tempered True Monarch’s face flush with anger. He never expected this young man to be so aggressive.

"How dare you kill our Ape Demon!" Hua Ming lost his composure, shouting angrily: "A nobody, who gave you the guts!"

Shen Yi raised his hand again.

Such a small gesture made Hua Ming’s face freeze, and he instinctively retreated behind his senior brother.

Though no one in the North Continent dared to set a precedent of killing their fellow sect members, let alone an outsider laying hands on an Immortal Lineage disciple,

this person’s previous actions already proved he was an unreasonable madman. Hua Ming dared not gamble his life out of spite.

"..."

Hao Ming True Monarch lifted his head, taking a deep breath.

He knew no senior brother or sister stood behind him. To subdue this Ape Demon initially had cost nearly half his wealth.

Now it died before his eyes, not only causing significant losses but also posing a challenge to find another Great Demon to do his bidding.

He looked ahead with a dark expression: "Since you’ve made the first move, don’t blame us for reciprocating."

Rules are rules because anyone who disobeys will find it impossible to survive in the North Continent.

Today, the opponent killed his Ape Demon; next time, when this Taixu True Monarch collects Emperor’s Aura, Hao Ming True Monarch could descend and slay the demon himself.

"Just you wait!"
