Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1308 - 777: You are the chief disciple of Lingxu Cave, then who is Shen?
Chapter 1308: Chapter 777: You are the chief disciple of Lingxu Cave, then who is Shen?
The heavens and earth roared.
A Green Flower Phoenix Demon hovered at the edge of Zhenning Prefecture, gently flapping its wings. The people beneath it had all collapsed in terror, yet its current state was not much better than those refugees.
Above, the black clouds surged and spread, emanating a daunting aura.
It was evident that a Heavenly Pride of the Three Immortals Sect had made a move.
In the past, the Phoenix Demon followed the orders of Master You Yao and feared no one, but now it needed to seriously reconsider, especially since the Tai Xu True Monarch had previously struck down demons under their command in the struggle for the Daoxuan arena.
In a flash, its gaze sharpened.
Its entire body stiffened considerably.
The Phoenix Demon could sense that the boundless cloud curtain was now watching it.
Even if it had been summoned by Master You Yao, and this place was indeed Master You Yao’s arena, akin to being on home territory, everything it did should be reasonable.
But feeling the cold gradually surging upon it, the Phoenix Demon hesitated and instinctively retreated toward the outskirts of Zhenning Prefecture.
At this moment, a tall figure slowly gathered in the distant black clouds, with white robes fluttering, and a youth calmly gazed over.
For some reason, in that instant, the Phoenix Demon sensed a hint of death.
"This matter has nothing to do with us!"
It quickly let out a sharp scream, fearing it might lose its head to the Non-action Sword before finishing its words.
It’s just to remind the Tai Xu True Monarch, that the arena battle is a contest between two Heavenly Prides, and a Little Demon like itself wouldn’t affect the outcome.
If Lingxu Cave could truly overshadow Qingguang Cave, then they could still serve the Tai Xu True Monarch after a change in allegiance.
After all, which of these Immortals would stoop to do the dirty work of killing and burning, sullying their pristine garments, yet all crave the benefits of killing and burning?
However, Shen Yi seemed not to have heard at all, his figure flickering, already descending from the unreachable sky to the scene.
The black clouds were the manifestation of the Taixu Realm, within this cloud curtain, no matter the myriad transformations of the Phoenix Demon, it could not escape his control.
"You..."
The Phoenix Demon, clearly aware of this point, halted desperately in mid-air, staring blankly at the approaching figure, until it subconsciously held its breath, as if a sword’s edge was already placed against its neck.
Upon realizing this change was indeed a battle over the arena.
Numerous fellow disciples of the Three Immortals Sect, initially hesitant to approach, now employed various methods to rush toward the Four Mansions.
This was the first time anyone dared to challenge the status of those three Heavenly Prides. freewёbnoνel.com
Even though Senior Sister You Yao had fallen from grace, it shouldn’t be forgotten that every reason for her downfall seemed to be tied with Senior Brother Tai Xu.
"Kill!" A disciple hidden in the crowd shouted excitedly.
At the same time, another voice full of hostility rang out.
"Shut up!"
As the words fell, a silhouette finally dashed forwards, hovering between Shen Yi and the Phoenix Demon.
Upon hearing this, the disciple looked over with discontent, and once seeing the face of the newcomer, a hint of peculiarity surfaced on their face, but they dared not say more, obediently shutting their mouth.
Even if they mock this person behind their back, they couldn’t deny he was still the first disciple of Lingxu Cave, his cultivation reaching the Extreme Nine-Nine Changes, True Master Yun Miao.
"..."
True Master Yun Miao’s face was iron-blue, anger roiling in his eyes like flame waves. He stared fiercely at the distant youth, his breath unsteady, only calming his emotions after a long while.
He slightly turned, glanced at the Phoenix Demon, and said in a deep voice, "This has nothing to do with you, continue handling your tasks."
The Phoenix Demon, seeing Yun Miao appear, finally felt relieved. Although it wasn’t Master You Yao, at least its life would be spared.
It began to flap its wings, planning to head deeper into Zhenning Prefecture, but as soon as it moved, Shen Yi’s gaze returned, a single emotionless look freezing the Phoenix Demon in place once more.
True Master Yun Miao noticed the anomaly, suddenly turned sharply, and shouted angrily at Shen Yi: "Do you intend to rebel? This is not a place where you can act recklessly. Leave at once!"
Seeing this, the surrounding Three Immortals Sect disciples fell into unanimous silence.
The situation was becoming ever more interesting.
At the arena of Qingguang Cave, two disciples of Lingxu Cave were facing off.
One senior, one junior... this day’s battle might come to an abrupt halt.
The Phoenix Demon tentatively moved forward a little, only to find the young man in white showed no sign of backing down.
Under the gaze of so many disciples, Yun Miao saw Shen Yi giving him no respect whatsoever, igniting the fire he’d suppressed several times over.
His iron-blue face twitched slightly, eyes dark and cold: "Do not forget, I am the senior brother. Are you intent on defying my command publicly and earning a reputation of disloyalty and betrayal?"
No matter what the master thinks, for now, Yun Miao is the first disciple!
With these words, even the disciples watching from the sidelines had a faint trace of ridicule on their lips.
A senior disciple needing to rely on status to pressure others, to make junior brothers submit, was a spectacle even in North Continent.
However, this tactic is indeed effective, for the Daluo Golden Immortals’ whereabouts are unpredictable, and the senior disciples often play the role of half-teachers, needing not only to teach spells to junior disciples and watch over their cultivation but also to settle matters and stand up for them.
