Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1272 - 761: Fellow Villagers Meet Each Other

"Mm..."

Shen Mountain Ancestor’s body trembled lightly. He was new to the Northern Continent and had luckily joined Qingguang Cave, relying on his senior brothers and sisters for his life and livelihood. He dared not offend Master Shu Yu here.

Facing his senior brother’s cold gaze at this moment, he subconsciously swallowed.

Why is Jade Pond going through this trouble... it’s not even a bad thing.

Although Taixu Pill Emperor had some talent, other than escaping from the hands of the Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Bodhisattva, there were no other commendable stories about him after ascending to the Third Grade.

Yet for this one thing, he even dedicated his master, Shenxu Ancestor.

The so-called claim of being a Karma Heavenly Pride was merely Jade Pond’s guess, but this senior brother Shu Yu in front of me is a genuine Six-Six Transformation Great Luo Immortal, a true inheritor of Qingguang Cave.

If I offend him, life will be hard in the future.

Moreover, that is an arena. As long as I seize a small part of it, I will no longer be a rootless duckweed in the Northern Continent, standing firmly with a bright future, considered to have made it.

I’ll gamble this once and henceforth stay quietly at Heavenly Tower Mountain, turning a deaf ear to external affairs; what does any great calamity have to do with me?

Thinking of this, Shen Mountain Ancestor secretly glanced at Jade Pond beside him, gritted his teeth, and saluted, "Thank you, senior brother, for your kindness."

"We are all family in Qingguang Cave; no need to be so polite, junior brother."

Finally hearing the response he wanted, Master Shu Yu’s face softened a bit, laughing loudly and giving Jade Pond another cold look before sitting back down.

"..."

Jade Pond Ancestor didn’t care about the threat, slowly retracting her palms.

Her eyes lowered as she sighed inwardly.

It’s hard to persuade a damned ghost with good intentions; Shen Mountain had clearly fallen into greed and would not listen to anything she said.

Having already experienced life and death in the Southern Continent, why hadn’t he understood that a great calamity isn’t something you can just enter and leave as you wish? Whether it was those Bodhisattvas or the Southern Emperor and other Demon Venerables, none anticipated ending up as they did before being slain.

The calamity clouds the mind, hard to save.

"Senior sister?"

Master Shu Yu looked ahead again.

The woman wearing a Treasure Crown and Black Skirt still appeared serene, with her eyes closed, seemingly uninterested in the hall’s happenings.

Her voice was icy, "Each in the calamity has their fate, don’t ask me, it has nothing to do with me."

"Junior brother understands."

Master Shu Yu nodded lightly, smiling outwardly but sneering inside. He had long despised the sight of her feasting and occupying the land of the four prefectures while completely ignoring the junior brothers and sisters below.

Nothing to do with her? Best if that’s the case.

"..."

Of course, You Yao knew what the people below were contemplating. They merely thought she stepped forward to clear the Bodhi Sect, purely for her own reputation, blocking their ways to profits.

She did seek reputation, but not such trivial fame. She wanted to leave a good name of responsibility before the elder masters of the sect and a fierce name to deter those monks of the Bodhi Sect.

Only by combining these two could she pave the way to becoming an Immortal Emperor.

Confined to fixation on mere land, their achievements were destined to be limited. Ascending to the position of the world’s co-ruler, the incense of the mortal world would be in her hands.

Even if needing to heed the Great Sect’s orders, merely for preserving the dignity of an Immortal Emperor, what she could gain would, without a doubt, be second only to the Sect Hierarch, far surpassing the other cultivators.

This short-sighted group still in the well bottom left her uninterested.

"Senior Brother Yun Miao, I have some matters, so I won’t stay longer."

Master Shu Yu smiled at True Master Yun Miao before hurriedly taking Shen Mountain Ancestor out of the hall.

"..."

True Master Yun Miao merely nodded, silent from start to finish, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

In the past, even with some pretense, he should have spoken a few words for Taixu Pill Emperor, but ever since he was disgraced by him, Yun Miao only hoped someone would teach that kid a lesson, showing him how deep Northern Continent’s waters were, proving how right his initial advice had been.

...

Near Kaiyuan Prefecture, on an unremarkable Immortal Mountain.

Shen Yi walked slowly, stopping before a cave abode.

The all along silent observer, Chenyi, was now utterly confused. As the rain-praying envoy of the Northern Continent, it had thought the General of State must be a strategic and prudent figure.

Especially this General of Southern Defense who turned the tide, exhibiting caution wouldn’t be overdoing it.

Yet along the way, how did the person appear anything like a "spy"?

This general hadn’t even infiltrated the Great Sect, by rights, he should have acted low-key, kept his presence minimal, and planned later after gaining a foothold.

Instead, all the person did was cause trouble, continually courting issues.

As if fearing his suspicion was unnoticed...

Meanwhile, inside the cave abode.

Four Demon Venerables in luxurious armor sat around a stone table, reveling loudly with the strong smell of alcohol mixed with laughter.

Only when the white-robed youth entered the cave did a drunken Demon Venerable drowsily look over.

Shen Yi’s leisurely demeanor made it momentarily daze, as if he were strolling through his backyard.
