Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1309 - 777: You are the chief disciple of Lingxu Cave, then who is Shen? - 2

Chapter 1309: Chapter 777: You are the chief disciple of Lingxu Cave, then who is Shen? - 2

Even if Tai Xu True Monarch has just entered the sect and has not yet enjoyed these privileges, if he truly defies his senior brother face to face, it would indeed affect his reputation if word got out.

They sighed, encountering such a senior brother was definitely unlucky.

At this moment, the always calm Shen Yi suspended in the Sky Curtain showed no anger or resentment as others imagined.

Upon hearing the question, he simply moved his gaze from the Phoenix Demon to Yun Miao, and in the next moment, he softly asked, "Which lineage’s senior brother?"

This clear voice, void of any insulting tone, fell into everyone’s ears.

Everyone was momentarily startled and only after a pause did they understand the meaning of this Tai Xu senior brother.

Now stepping into this Four Mansions area, he is fighting on behalf of the Lingxu Cave lineage, aiming to secure eternal incense offerings for his Immortal Cave during this great calamity. frёeωebɳovel.com

Under such circumstances, Yun Miao, as the chief disciple of Lingxu Cave, surprisingly stands before him for the benefit of Qingguang Cave.

Yun Miao wanted to pin the hat of disloyalty and unfilialness on him, but Tai Xu senior brother’s seemingly nonchalant counter was akin to a heavy hammer, ruthlessly crashing down on this chief disciple.

No matter the outcome today, Yun Miao might find it hard to lift his head again in the North Continent.

"You scoundrel!"

After a brief daze, True Master Yun Miao’s voice trembled slightly with agitation.

He angrily summoned his Spiritual Treasure, breathing heavily, and his entire face turned red as if stained with blood: "I am the chief disciple of Lingxu Cave! I insist on blocking you on this matter, what will you do?"

True Master Yun Miao clearly intended to break the pot and yell in dissonance: "Get out of here!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi slowly began to walk away.

"..."

Yun Miao stared as the youth approached step by step, his heart pounding like thunder, ears buzzing, but under the gaze of fellow disciples in the North Continent, he could only muster up his strength and continue to glare at the opponent.

Soon, Shen Yi arrived in front of this senior brother.

He didn’t say anything more, nor did he even look at Yun Miao; he casually reached out, pressing five fingers on the side of his senior brother’s face, then pushed him aside.

His entire figure transformed into rolling black clouds, like a rainbow piercing the sky, roaring as it engulfed the Phoenix Demon.

When the black cloud dispersed, a slender figure was revealed.

The Phoenix Demon raised its neck high, full of disbelief, but its massive Demon Body was neatly divided, its parts falling piece by piece into the mortal world.

The rich smell of blood instantly enveloped the surroundings.

Dark red mist intertwined with the black cloud.

True Master Yun Miao turned his back to Shen Yi, the Spiritual Treasure in his hand swaying slightly, his features appeared sluggish, with traces of Shen Yi’s palm’s warmth still lingering on his face.

The whole person was lost in despair, hanging in the air.

Still unable to understand why this insect demon disciple from the Southern Continent dared to push him aside like this, without any hesitation or concern.

He looked up to see ahead, all around were fellow disciples, their familiar faces filled with surprise and mockery one after another.

Surprise was directed at Tai Xu, evidently astonished by his decisiveness and boldness in declaring war on Master You Yao.

That undisguised mockery was directed at himself...

At this moment, Yun Miao finally experienced the feeling of heart-deadness like gray experienced by You Yao, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, his entire being feeble as he wanted to avoid those needle-like gazes.

If only back then, he listened to the junior sister.

How wonderful that would have been.

...

Qingguang Mountain, the side hall.

Amidst curling green smoke, two people sat peacefully opposite each other.

Master Li Shan poured hot tea for the woman across the table, looking somewhat like a host rather than a guest.

"Senior brother, this topic has been discussed enough, if you have something to say, why not speak directly." You Yao glanced at the teacup, not anxious, after deciding not to participate in the great calamity, she felt much more relaxed.

The sect hierarchs set the chessboard, the elders held the pieces, while people like herself were merely the chess pieces clamped between fingers.

Lord of Heaven and Earth, Immortal Emperor’s position.

It sounds wonderful, the majesty hard to conceal, but after calming down a bit, one can understand why such a good position didn’t tempt the elders to aspire as Immortal Emperor, nor why the sect hierarchs didn’t personally control the Immortal Court.

To put it bluntly, the person sitting in that position is no more than a tool for the two sects to distribute the Human Emperor Qi, even how to divide it is not up to him; it depends on the will of the various Sect Hierarchs.

He’s even less than the current Human Emperor, calling him one of the Six Emperors would be an insult to the title.

Besides some superficial fame, there’s no freedom, all bound by shackles, far from the freedom of being just an ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal.

Moreover, the Golden Immortals still have the chance to fulfill the Immortal Oath and reach the First Rank, becoming an Emperor of a region, holding real power, far surpassing the merely titular Lord of Heaven and Earth.

"This discourse has benefited me greatly, and I sense that my junior sister has also unraveled her inner tribulations, which greatly comforts me."

Master Li Shan gave a faint smile, yet showed no intention of leaving.

After a brief flattery, his expression became slightly more serious: "But I must still advise you, junior sister, even if you’ve let go, the great calamity continues, and as the grand-disciple of the Sect Hierarch, we must not go against the tide."

"Senior brother, you might as well say it more directly, I can’t quite comprehend," Master You Yao picked up her teacup, taking a delicate sip.

Seeing her demeanor, a trace of helplessness flashed across Li Shan’s eyes as he stood up: "I am referring to that Tai Xu junior from Lingxu Cave. I know there’s resentment in your heart towards him, but you must understand, a calamity is a calamity. Contests always have winners and losers. So long as one day we emerge from this great calamity, you and I will still be as close as siblings, and that includes him."

"If you’re not satisfied, you can always strive to regain it."

"But since you’ve chosen not to be part of the calamity, you must never bring your grievances outside of it. Have I made myself clear enough?"

Li Shan is not a goody-two-shoes; he merely sensed the signs of an impending chaos.

To put it bluntly, if you lose today and get furious, you can start a rebellion, but you’re not the only one who has reached the Extreme Nine-Nine Changes. Others can follow suit.

Anyway, if you lose, you rebel, and if everyone does it, everything would just be in chaos; why bother electing an Immortal Emperor, when nobody would stop until rivers run red with blood.

Hearing this, You Yao couldn’t help but chuckle, quietly raising her head: "Where did you hear that I have such thoughts, aren’t you underestimating your junior sister’s magnanimity?"

Once she sets her mind, how could a couple of words change it?

As long as that Insect Demon Disciple lives, how can I be at ease?

However, there’s no rush for now. If I go to kill him now, should Ling Xuzi discover it in advance, not only would I fail, but it would also alert them.

It’s better to wait until I confirm my path to Golden Immortal, ensuring a fatal blow. After all, Golden Immortals are Undying and Undying; at worst, being suppressed for a while after committing a mistake, is nothing compared to the eternal Lifespan Years.

As for the consequences of rebelling... I’ve exited the great calamity; why should I care about all that?

"That would be nice."

Li Shan naturally didn’t believe You Yao’s words, but couldn’t say much more either.

He sat back at the table, and for now, the only option was to stay close to her, watching and slowly persuading her over time.

"I still have some doubts; may I ask for your guidance, junior sister?"

"..."

A trace of restless shadow flashed in You Yao’s eyes, but she couldn’t bring herself to embarrass Li Shan.

However, before she could speak, a hurried footstep echoed outside the door, accompanied by the shout of a disciple.

"Master You Yao! Something terrible has happened!"

You Yao slightly frowned and casually waved her sleeve.

As the wooden door opened, a figure stumbled in, and before he could steady himself, the disciple was already panicked, saying: "Something happened to Senior Yun Miao. While he was extracting Emperor’s Aura for Master, the Four Mansions’ dojo fell victim to the treachery of Tai Xu True Monarch!"

Before the words were out, both people in the room had already changed color.

"You better go and take a look... your Emperor’s Aura is about to be completely consumed by that person!" The disciple said with a tremor in his words out of fear.

You Yao stood up abruptly, and Li Shan almost simultaneously reached out to grab her sleeve.

Yet, before he could voice any persuasion, the woman had already coldly looked back, speaking in a detached tone: "Senior brother, I never said I wouldn’t contend."

"..."

Li Shan was silent for a moment, even with his disposition, he couldn’t help but cuss inwardly at this moment.

Anyone with eyes can see this woman is on the brink of madness, yet the Tai Xu junior in the midst of it remains clueless.

Is his brain made of pig’s brains, choosing to act at such a sensitive moment?

Even he now has no reason to stop her any longer.

Thinking this, Li Shan let out a light sigh, helplessly released the grasp on You Yao’s sleeve, and watched as she, filled with murderous intent, soared into the sky!
