Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 322 - 320 I Don’t Want Your Way Out_1

Chapter 322: Chapter 320 I Don’t Want Your Way Out_1

The azure cloud at the horizon not only overwhelmed the entire Qi Sect.

In the distant towns at the foot of the mountain, all cultivators bowed and chanted in unison, “We welcome Qingfeng Zhenren.”

The moment that azure cloud swooped over, it immediately captured everyone’s attention.

“He seems to be heading towards us.”

Zhu Jue struggled to maintain the composure of his Golden Body, while Wu Dao’an felt his Yin God beginning to flutter, his voice trembling as he said, “Actually… actually, we are somewhat on the same level as him.”

Great Qian and Wutong Mountain are allies.

...

The temple hosts are the chief seats beneath the Ancestor.

There are only four on rotation.

Qingfeng Zhenren is merely the twelfth disciple of Wutong Mountain Ancestor.

By this comparison, what Wu Dao’an said did have some merit.

“Then could you stop trembling?”

Zhu Jue looked at him helplessly, “Look at Junior Brother Shen, how calm he is.”

“…”

Listening to the voices behind him, Shen Yi calmly gazed at the azure cloud in the sky.

The reason he was not nervous was that he had once seen the other party.

Secondly, he was already well-prepared.

To rise again, Great Qian would have to temporarily circumvent the formidable presence of Wutong Mountain.

This group of powerful cultivators were the main force resisting the Thousand Demon Cave.

Even he had to rely on their protection.

But compared to fawning obsequiously,

Shen Yi was more accustomed to making the other party see his worth.

“Master, let me introduce you, this is…”

Tang Yun had hardly finished his words when he was kicked aside by Qingfeng Zhenren, “Do I need you to introduce? Go stand off to the side.”

The Taoist-robed youth landed with indignation and headed towards Shen Yi.

Zhu Jue and Wu Dao’an finally braced themselves, their faces solemn as they greeted the Wutong Mountain True Person.

However, his first words nearly made their jaws drop.

“I’m asking you, didn’t I invite you to dinner once?”

Qingfeng Zhenren clenched his teeth in resentment, lowering his voice, “You’re not giving me that bit of face, huh?”

It was his face that Qingfeng relied on to navigate the world.

Anyone who dared not to give him face was challenging Wutong Mountain, challenging Nie Shixiong!

The last time they met, he thought this lad was handsome and carried an extraordinary demeanor, somewhat reminiscent of his own younger self.

Now, the more he looked, the angrier he became.

What a load of personal grudges.

The last time, this lad managed to enter the cave along with Zhang Mingyang and come out alive, rising to the status of a highly regarded senior among those cultivators.

Could such a character be a simple young fool?

Would they take the initiative to approach their enemies?

Qingfeng Zhenren, seething with anger, swept his sleeves, “Personal grudge, you say? Let me tell you, even if Great Qian and Wutong Mountain are allies, you don’t get to play like this. Since it’s a personal grudge, you solve it yourself.”

With that, he fixed his gaze intently on Shen Yi.

Yet he saw the youth’s expression remain entirely unchanged.

With these few words, not only were Zhu Jue and Wu Dao’an shocked, but even Xu Hongde and the Sixth Ancestor were astonished.

Shen Yi actually knew Qingfeng Zhenren?

But after hearing their conversation, it didn’t seem as if they were particularly close.

“I told you Junior Brother Shen had extensive connections,” whispered Dharma Aspect Yaksha, secretly transmitting to Little Wu.

“…”

Wu Dao’an also kept his head down, not bothering to engage with this chatterbox.

In reality, both of their hearts had eased.

Although Qingfeng Zhenren seemed to be venting his anger, he had actually provided Shen Yi with a way out.

After all, Qingqiu was essentially ruined.

Even their Ancestral fox was controlled in place by a magical treasure.

Their value was now far inferior to that of the rising prosperity of Great Qian.

As long as Junior Brother Shen would soften his stance and admit his error.

It would signal Great Qian’s recognition of Wutong Mountain’s status, agreeing to serve them.

In this regard, taking care of a little fox for one’s junior brother would hardly be a significant matter.

However, time slowly ticked away.

The group still hadn’t heard Shen Yi’s response.

Even Zhu Jue couldn’t help but lift his head to look.

They saw Qingfeng Zhenren’s anger on his face slowly fade, becoming serene, “I’ll ask once more, is it a personal grudge?”

In that instant, he transformed from a youth not yet devoid of naivety into a genuine elder of Wutong Mountain.

“…”

Shen Yi’s gaze subtly lowered, a trace of indifferent smile appearing at the corner of his lips, “It is a personal grudge.”

What the other party truly wanted to ask was something else entirely.

It was whether he was willing to take on Qingqiu’s offered deal and perform servile tasks.

Or whether he would continue to cling to the identity of an ally.

After all, the initial alliance was formed to resist the forces of the Thousand Demon Cave, which did not include Qingqiu.

If he still wished to maintain the status of an ally, then Wutong Mountain would have no reason to interfere any further.

Shen Yi’s reply was extremely succinct.

He slowly rose to his feet, looking towards the distant clouds.

The next moment, his figure abruptly vanished from the spot.

“…”

Qingfeng Zhenren slowly stood up, pondering for a long while before he indifferently shook the bell in his hand.

The next instant.

A roar suddenly burst forth from the horizon.

Filled with boundless resentment, it was mournful and fierce.

“This…”

Wu Dao’an had never expected the situation to escalate to this.

But the Yaksha Dharma Aspect abruptly stood up.

Zhu Jue understood his junior brother’s choice.

Then all they had to do was follow, paying any price to uphold Great Qian’s status.

Xu Hongde and the Sixth Ancestor exchanged glances, likewise taking out their Array Plates.

Their hearts were filled with immense emotion.

To think they had previously harbored thoughts of retaining a youth whom even Wutong Mountain could not suppress.

Such an individual was destined not to submit to others.

But on the flip side, what cultivator willing to submit to others, unable to even control their own life, has the right to presumptuously claim they can protect others?

It is only such a Shen Yi that deserves the Xu Family’s allegiance.

Just then, Qingfeng Zhenren rolled his eyes and with a wave of his hand enveloped everyone within a light screen, “I already said it’s a personal grudge, why are you all crowding around.”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jue was momentarily startled.

The “personal grudge” previously mentioned clearly referred to Great Qian and Qingqiu.

Now it had come full circle, referring instead to Shen Yi and Elder Qingqiu.

He had softened his heart, ultimately not abandoning Great Qian.

After all, if he truly had washed his hands of it and Shen Yi lost, Qingqiu would naturally have just cause to retaliate against Great Qian.

Now it was different, merely a duel between two cultivators which would not likely have far-reaching consequences.

However, Zhu Jue found no joy in this whatsoever.

He struck the light screen hard with his fist. The three zhang tall Yaksha Dharma Aspect stumbled back several steps, nearly jolting his Yin God out of his body.

“Tsk.”

Qingfeng Zhenren took out a packet of candied fruit, glancing at Tang Yuan beside him who was full of worry but dared not speak.

He chewed on the candied fruit resentfully, “How about this, you all praise me as handsome and dashing until I’m satisfied, and perhaps later I might save him.”

Dammit, when have I ever been subjected to such indignities.

Eagerly providing a way out, only to be snubbed.

One must find a way to save face, right?

Too soft-hearted.

If it had been Nie Shixiong, by now he’d have already cut down this whole lot with a single stroke, ceaseless chatter, all so terribly noisy.
