Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons - Chapter 817 - Chapter 817 Chapter 577 Who is the True Lord of Nanhong_3

Chapter 817: Chapter 577 Who is the True Lord of Nanhong_3 Chapter 817: Chapter 577 Who is the True Lord of Nanhong_3 Even the Ke Family Crown Prince clenched his teeth once again.

“Losing a bet is one thing… but to lose your life and have your corpse desecrated, is this the act of a righteous and reputable sect?”

Thinking back on the black clouds of Blood Fiend from Shen Yi’s earlier attack, had the once noble Seven Sons of Hong now fallen to become Demon Cultivators?

For some reason, Qi Zhaoyi suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

When the Seven Sons of Hong still followed the rules, they had countless ways to suppress their opponents, but if these people all turned into unscrupulous madmen, then even the Western Dragon Palace would find them quite troublesome.

“Ahem, ahem.”

The other Sect Masters cleared their throats and stepped out of the hall, following Shen Yi.

The shocks of today had already been too many, so much that one more did not make a difference.

It seemed that Sect Master Shen had never acted normally.

As the numerous Cultivators left the great hall in unison, the renowned and furious Dragon Demons glared angrily but did not dare to speak out to stop them. They could only watch helplessly as the Immortal Chariot burst forth with brilliant light, then soared straight out of the waters!

When both sides no longer had reservations…

Just based on this scene, it was already quite clear who the true Lord of Nanhong was.

…

The immense Immortal Chariot, like a palace ascending, was bathed in radiant light.

In the early sunrise, when the sky was still faintly dim, it was so resplendent and majestic, slowly heading towards the direction of the Seven Sons of Hong.

Passing forces of all sizes witnessed this scene, and amidst their curiosity, regardless of what they were doing, they all stopped in their tracks and respectfully saluted the Immortal Chariot.

“…”

Atop the throne, several Sect Masters had various thoughts, all sitting in silence.

Though there was the factor of being associated with the Eastern Dragon Palace, these ceremonious treatments were once possessed by the Southern Hong Seven Sects, and even more grand.

By strength, they could have taken these things back long ago.

But they thought it too arrogant and likely to bring unpredictable calamity to the Seven Sects, so they had always endured in silence.

Today, however, under the absurd deeds of Sect Master Shen, they were forced to experience these things once again.

“Are we really ready?”

The Ling Yun Sect Master stared blankly upwards, but unlike usual, he did not ask the Ling Yue Sect Master, instead directing his gaze at the figure in the forefront.

Even he himself hadn’t realized that, although Shen Yi’s strength was still far from Ye Jiu and Senior Brother Qi, and even less than Ji, after the recent “banquet” he had begun to subconsciously feel that he was being led by Shen Yi.

His decisions seemed unreliable at a glance, yet inexplicably conveyed a sense of utter control and composure.

Furthermore, the young Sect Master’s rapid increase in strength truly instilled a thick, visceral fear within them.

As Cultivators at the Unity Realm Stage, their understanding of the universe was already profound.

But they were utterly baffled by Shen Yi.

This fear of the unknown was innate, not changing with the level of their cultivation.

To cut through the Heavenly Slash Realm while in the Earth Realm was shocking enough, let alone the fact that possessing Perfection Earth Realm cultivation was in itself an absurdity.

Hearing this, the other Sect Masters, including Ji Jingxi, who was most familiar with Shen Yi, all looked towards him, equally curious about his thoughts.

“…”

After a long silence, Shen Yi said with a tinge of apology, “It’s not always that we have the chance to be prepared.”

He wanted to live, he wanted to win, and in order to survive, he had been forced to do numerous things.

If any of these actions were exposed, any one of them could cause the Seven Sons of Hong to fall into an irreversible disaster in an instant.

There really wasn’t much time left.

Compared to the arrogance and pride he had shown earlier in the great hall, Shen Yi’s sudden gentleness now left Ye Jiu glancing sideways, somewhat unable to discern which one was the true Sect Master of Nanyang.

Only Ji Jingxi picked up on that faint, almost imperceptible note of apology in Shen Yi’s words.

She frowned slowly, her lips pursing lightly.

Suddenly recalling what the Daozi had said about Shen Yi causing trouble, she had gradually come to deny that assessment through her observations over the past few days.

But now she suddenly realized, was it possible that what she and the Daozi had seen were both true?

Could it be that the reason they thought Sect Master Shen was not a troublemaker was because he had quietly stirred up a problem that might exceed their imaginations, to the extent that they were temporarily unable to perceive it?

At this thought, Ji Jingxi’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Not many things in the world could make her panic, but her heart was inexplicably racing and it wasn’t feigned.

But soon after, Ji Jingxi withdrew her gaze, leaving only a faint, resigned smile on her face.

For some reason, even if she anticipated something, she still felt there was reason in Shen Yi’s actions… This unexpectedly naive trust, not even Senior Brother Qin had ever possessed.
