Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1293 - 770: Becoming an Apprentice at Lingxu Cave_2

Chapter 1293: Chapter 770: Becoming an Apprentice at Lingxu Cave_2

"Hoo."

Master You Yao adjusted her emotions and walked slowly towards that person.

Her hand, held behind her back, clenched and unclenched.

Yet she could never decisively unleash the Qingguang Sword Qi at her fingertips.

She had indeed thought of taking direct action earlier, which was why she disclosed the news of Shu Yu’s death to her master.

But after calming down a bit, You Yao hesitated again.

She could almost imagine that now the entire North Continent was speculating about what had happened. If she took action now, it would essentially confirm her inability and subsequent angry embarrassment.

Even if she could barely maintain her current status, she would likely fall to the last among the three, losing the chance for that Immortal Emperor throne.

"You hid your cultivation." She slowly released her fingers.

"Didn’t you already know?" Shen Yi glanced back nonchalantly.

The young man’s calm expression, as if nothing had happened, reignited the anger that You Yao had managed to suppress. Biting her teeth, she whispered, "What I saw earlier was also fake."

"So, what, you blame me?" Shen Yi suddenly chuckled.

In the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, the Southern Emperor and Shenxu Ancestor exchanged glances, both seeing the sentiment in each other’s eyes. It had to be said that their master really knew how to provoke others’ anger.

Moreover, facing different people, he could adopt completely different guises.

Just like with Ling Su Master before, when Shen Yi wanted her to take action, they barely exchanged a few words, remaining silent and restrained, yet he could accurately step on that girl’s sore spot.

Now, facing the head disciple of Qingguang Cave, he perfectly played the role of a victor whose cunning plan had succeeded.

Sure enough, You Yao’s red lips tightened increasingly, her eyes gradually overcome by anger.

After a long while, she slowly reached out her hand: "I don’t blame you, I blame my own blindness. I admit it this time, return that Deer Demon to me, I won’t ask for anything else, just name your price."

"..."

A fleeting surprise passed through Shen Yi’s eyes.

Even in this situation, this woman could forcibly quell her impulse to act.

This somewhat changed his perspective on the North Continent cultivators.

Shen Yi indeed lacked the confidence to surpass his opponent now, after all, even if both paths reached perfection, he had not yet become an apprentice of a Golden Immortal, lacking treasures and techniques. Who knows how much utility this woman’s spiritual treasures could exert?

However, even if he couldn’t kill You Yao, self-preservation wasn’t an issue.

If the opponent doesn’t take action today, how could he end up in the Three Immortals Sect?

A cultivator who can spar with You Yao must surely be a hot commodity?

"No need to name a price, I’ve just arrived and don’t understand the intricacies, just give it as you see fit."

Shen Yi leisurely stood up, flicked his sleeve casually, and a massive deer head crashed to the ground, the desperation of being strangled alive making that scarred face appear even more grotesque and terrifying, the hollow eyes staring directly at the woman in front of him.

"..."

You Yao stood frozen on the spot.

With the means displayed by this Southern Continent cultivator in dealing with the demon disaster, not even causing the slightest ripple, it was evident he was far superior to the Deer Demon, as could be seen from the expression on this head.

In other words, there was no such desperate situation of fighting to the death for victory.

This fiend had no reason to kill the Deer Demon; he absolutely possessed the strength to subdue that Great Demon.

And the act of killing a demon is totally harmful with no benefit; the only reason for doing so... was to provoke her!

"If you wanted to provoke me, you succeeded."

All emotions on You Yao’s face vanished in an instant, and with a slight raise of her chin, only icy indifference remained.

Her extended hand gradually closed into a fist, strands of Qingguang split open the sky dome, like a chessboard, covering the sky over Kaiyuan Prefecture.

"The price is your life."

Kaiyuan Prefecture had already attracted the attention of many cultivators, some of whom had not yet gone far. Such a commotion could not escape their notice.

They all simultaneously looked in the direction of the erupting Tribulation Qi.

Among them was Li Shan, who happened to be here.

"Senior Brother..." the disciples called softly. If previously the North Continent’s fellows were still unsure, others still thought Senior Sister You Yao was kind-hearted. Now, they could almost seal the verdict.

The Heavenly Pride of the North Continent indeed couldn’t handle the cultivator from the Southern Continent.

"It seems he indeed lost his composure from losing too badly."

Li Shan did want to watch the spectacle, but he didn’t expect it to escalate this much.

An immortal fighting openly in front of mortals, not to mention in the North Continent, even across both sects, this was probably a first.

"A bit of a pity."

Li Shan withdrew his gaze. That young man, who had just shown signs of rising, was ultimately firmly suppressed by You Yao at the cost of giving up that final position.

He held no expectations for the outcome of this duel.

People from the Southern Continent had courage and wit but lacked background and foundation. If some elder took notice, and he could settle down for a while, there might be a bit of hope.

Still, he was in too much of a rush.

You Yao also found it strange. Given Li Shan’s understanding of her, this woman shouldn’t be so impatient.

If Qi Xian knew about this, he would probably have already burst into laughter.

Amidst the crowd’s discussions.

Master You Yao had already fiercely clenched her five fingers, and the chessboard in the sky dome instantly descended. The vast Qingguang, like an inescapable net, tightened, giving a strong sense of suffocation, its speed a hundred times faster than the Clear Light Sword Formation last time.

Last time was a test, but this time, she went for his life.
