Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 495 There is strength in numbers

Under the protection of the Seven Sons of Nanhong, the vassal forces that had been calm for a long time suddenly fell into a bloody fight.

There is no reason and no purpose.

That group of water monsters quietly stepped out of the water.

The only thing in common among these attacked vassal forces is that they are all under the jurisdiction of Elder Liu Shiqian.

The situation was barely brought under control until many deacons and outer sect elders of Qingyue Sect arrived to provide support.

Just as the other forces in Nanhong were panicking and secretly speculating whether this fierce battle would continue to escalate.

The water monsters seemed to have received some orders, and retreated in unison and sank back into the water.

Only corpses and broken bones were left.

"..."

The outer sect elder of Qingyue Sect was suspended in the air, controlling the magic circle. He frowned and showed no joy.

Instead, he subconsciously turned his head and looked at the insignificant figure among the monks.

"call."

Liu Qianyun breathed hard and calmed her mind.

But my fingertips couldn't help but tremble slightly.

This group of demons seemed to have no purpose and were not here to plunder anything, but the targets they chose to attack were too obvious.

Now they have inexplicably withdrawn, it is obvious that the people behind them have already got what they wanted.

"father……"

Liu Qianyun clenched her fingers, quietly left the crowd, and then rushed in a certain direction.

The cultivation level is only the third level of Return to Void.

In front of this group of monks who are qualified to leave the sect, she is at the bottom of the list. How can her actions escape the attention of others?

Everyone just pretended not to see it.

After all, they did not receive any edict from the elders, which meant that Elder Liu had no intention of making a big fuss about the matter.

In the end what happened?
……

at the same time.

Amid the surging ocean, a thin figure stood with his hands behind his back, stepping on a solitary boat.

That slightly serious face, with clear eyes, quietly swept towards the nothingness in front.

He seemed to be the only one in the room.

But the waves that were raised seemed to be filled with murderous intent.

However, no matter how fierce the waves were, they could not touch the corner of the robe at all.

Liu Shiqian shook his head: "You went to great lengths to call me out, you didn't mean to scare me with these childish tricks."

As soon as he finished speaking, the water surface suddenly fell into silence.

The water that was flowing just now seemed to suddenly freeze and turned into a blue gem.

A moment later, a hoarse voice came from underwater: "Then why do you think I called you out?"

Liu Shiqian lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Anyway, it's not to kill me, at least not in this way."

"Why?" The underwater voice smiled.

"Because you don't dare." Liu Shiqian patted his sleeves and didn't even bother to use his magic weapon: "Without evidence, how dare you, a guard dog, cause trouble for the Dragon Palace."

Elder Liu, who was always serious and old-fashioned, made the underwater being breathe heavily with just one sentence.

Everyone knows that among the thirteen dragon grandsons, the fourth one ranks at the top in terms of both strength and character. He is in the limelight and crushes most of his brothers.

But only a few people know that the reason why it has become so popular is because Nanlong Palace never regards it as its successor.

In the Immortal Sect, it is not even a Taoist disciple, at most it is an elder who protects the sect.

Assassinating and killing a Qingyue Sect elder in front of Nan Hong was not a decision it could make.

There was silence underwater for a long time.

Finally, laughter was heard again: "Then why did you come out?"

It really can't do anything on the surface, but just a little stir up can make the deacons of Qingyue Sect anxious and even pay a heavy price.

And all these injuries were caused by Liu Shiqian.

Sometimes, having a back that is too straight is not a good thing, as it is easy for people to take advantage of you.

At least Elder Liu would definitely not watch this happen.

On the contrary, Ke Laosi doesn’t care about the life or death of those water monsters.

It would not feel any pain at all, nor would it feel guilty or remorseful, if it were to exchange the life of the demon for the lives of its disciples in the Qingyue Sect.

"How about this, you tell me at whose hands my brother died and explain the reason clearly. I will let you go." There was a hint of amusement in Ke Laosi's voice.

"..."

Liu Shiqian's eyes were filled with sarcasm, and he slowly exhaled: "Well, tell me who sent you the letter."

Just a few sentences.

This was the third time that Ke Laosi fell silent.

It didn't really want to know the identity of the dragon slayer from the old man. After all, the letter had already stated everything clearly. It just wanted to tease Liu Shiqian and vent its anger for the ridicule of "watchdog" just now.

But it was obvious that Liu Shiqian had guessed everything already.

The slightly deliberate playfulness in Ke Lao Si's laughter finally faded away, and he said in a deep voice: "I never thought that Elder Liu would be so sharp-tongued."

It doesn't want to waste any more time.

"Xianren Cave, if you come out alive in three days, this matter will be over. If you die, I will not pursue the matter any further."

The so-called Immortal Cave is a secret place in Nanhong.

It has been explored thousands of times by monks and has long been abandoned. The only special thing about it is that once you enter this cave, you will be completely isolated from the outside world. It is an excellent place to kill people and hide bodies.

After a long time, it has become a convention.

Stepping into the Immortal Cave is equivalent to signing a life and death agreement.

"I won't pursue this any further... Tsk, you are worthy enough to represent the Dragon Palace."

Liu Shiqian shook his head and whispered something in the calmest tone, but he did not reject it. Instead, he turned around slowly, and the lone boat under his feet suddenly rose up and headed somewhere.

If someone is familiar with him, they can see it.

Elder Liu is not the kind of cultivator who likes to show off his eloquence, although he is really good at it.

Another sentence caused ripples underwater, which not only angered Ke Laosi, but also represented a slight change in Liu Shiqian's mood.

He looked far ahead.

Suddenly the jade slip flickered.

Normally, the elders all carry Taoist cards with them, but he did not bring them out.

Killing Ke Shisan could be a big or small matter.

If it was well-founded, then it wouldn't be a big deal, but the pity was that Ke Shisan never provoked Qingyue Sect from beginning to end, and even it was Sect Master Shen who took the initiative... If the Dragon Palace wanted to quibble, Ke Shisan was nothing more than borrowing a large formation from a vassal force, and given the Dragon Palace's great power, his crime was not punishable by death anyway.

Liu Shiqian sighed and gently crushed the jade slip.

He swooped down from the lone boat.

His figure appeared in front of a cave that looked like the mouth of a ferocious beast, and then he stepped in.

His vision began to change.

Until a hint of decayed smell entered my mouth and nose.

Liu Shiqian looked up and saw three huge statues as big as mountains sitting cross-legged in the dim hall.

They have a fat, sharp-toothed fish head, a three-headed monster snake with vertical pupils, and a long-nosed elephant head with mottled scales.

Wait until Liu Shiqian stops.

The scaly, long-nosed water elephant slowly opened its eyes, and its wet body began to move, making people realize that it was not a statue but a living creature.

As everyone knows, Longzi has at least five demon armies under his command.

The strength of their leaders is not inferior to that of the elders of the immortal sect.

Apart from the six princes of the Southern Dragon Palace, the dragon grandson Ke Laosi is the only one who has five demon armies.

What surprised Liu Shiqian was...

In order to deal with me, the other party was willing to send out three generals leading an army at once. No wonder they dared to say that they would have three days.

"coming?"

The long-nosed water elephant slowly stood up, and easily lifted up the roof of the hall, revealing the same dim sky.

"Here it comes." Liu Shiqian stretched out his index finger and gently tapped it between his eyebrows.

A long rainbow leaped out, starting with green, mixed with purple and white in the middle, and suddenly connected to the sky.

After careful identification, there are about five heavenly palaces, which proves why he was able to ascend to the position of elder.

Behind the cloud.

The Longhan City and the Chiming City appeared one after another. Two heavy doors were pushed open by invisible hands, and then green light burst out, bathing Liu Shiqian in.

Wait until the green light dissipates.

Liu Shiqian was wearing a pitch-black robe on his thin body, and on his back was a dazzlingly white crescent moon.

A crescent-shaped sword appeared in his open palm.

The two blue phoenix fairy weapons make this gloomy hall look like a fairyland.

However, the expression of the three-headed demon did not change at all, and he said calmly: "Since you are here, don't leave."

……

Above the ocean.

Elder Chi Yang looked solemnly at the flickering jade slip in his hand: "This old guy is in a bad mood again."

We should be thankful that we can’t get in touch with him.

After all, Elder Chi Yang was not quite sure how big a sin it would be if he took Sect Master Shen with him to die.

But at this moment, he really couldn't be happy.

It seemed as if he had completely withdrawn from the whole thing. He also believed that Lao Liu could definitely handle the matter well, but why did he feel so upset?

When you reach the realm of Baiyujing, a good friend who can openly confide in you is really a rare thing. Chi Yang only has one such old friend, and the other party is also like this.

"Or, you can go back first."

Chi Yang adjusted his mood, turned back and squeezed out a forced smile: "I'll look for it again."

Until this moment, he suddenly didn't want to carry a burden anymore, or exchange pleasantries with the other party.

"Let me do it."

Shen Yi didn't seem to notice the worry that Elder Chi Yang tried hard to hide.

He just slowly closed his eyes.

His mind moved slightly and he began to communicate with Ke Shisan at his brow.

"If the Dragon Palace finds out about your death, what will Ke Laosi do to avenge you?"

“Uh…ah…uh…”

Zhenshi responded somewhat stupidly: "If it didn't have evidence, it wouldn't have done it too obviously. It would have invited Elder Liu to the Immortal Cave."

"understood."

Shen Yi tapped his chin lightly and opened his eyes again: "Let's go and take a look."

"Huh?" Chi Yang was stunned. What does that mean? Did he find it?
No, Sect Master Shen also has connections underwater?

And... the other party is determined to get involved in this matter, right?
But now, Chi Yang suddenly put away his words of persuasion. Even if it would really cause a big disaster, he really wanted to see where Lao Liu was now.

Let Ke Shisan continue to rest. Under the guidance of the soul of the Flesh-Winged Silkworm, Shen Yi took Elder Chi Yang straight to the Immortal Cave.

……

Outside the Immortal Cave.

As soon as the two figures landed, they saw two water monsters in the late stage of Return to Void. They were wearing exquisite fish-scale armor, standing with their arms folded, guarding the entrance of the cave.

"The water tribe is doing business, idle people..."

Before he finished speaking, the two big monsters seemed to recognize the identity of the person and were stunned for a moment.

They did not reveal the identity of Nanlong Palace just now, because they did not want to make a big deal out of the matter. But if it was the people from Nanhong Seven Sons who came, there would be no need to disguise themselves.

"It turns out that it is the elder of Qingyue Sect who has come in person."

The water monster glanced at the cave behind him, then turned his gaze back to the old man with white hair and a youthful face, and also glanced at the young man next to him.

The two demons bowed and said, "Elder Chiyang, we juniors are too nosy and advise you not to interfere. This has nothing to do with you. Cultivation is not easy. Don't waste your life. Don't be like Elder Liu and cause disaster to Qingyue Sect without authorization."

"Please come back."

After saying that, the two demons stretched out their hands and made a gesture to see the guest off.

"..."

Elder Chi Yang suddenly clenched his five fingers. Old Liu was indeed here.

As he guessed correctly, this old donkey had offended the Dragon Palace. Judging from the situation, it was even possible that he was a dragon son.

Finally decided to settle it privately.

Looking at the calm and composed appearance of these two monsters, the situation is probably not good.

"This should be Sect Master Shen, right?"

The water demon looked at Shen Yi again and smiled playfully: "You can go in, after all, Elder Liu treats you well, but we also want to advise you that it is not your turn yet, so it is better not to let Elder Liu die in vain."

"Master Shen, you go back first." Chi Yang seemed to have made some kind of decision.

At this moment, he saw the young man in black clothes next to him taking a step forward, as if he did not see the two monsters, and walked straight into the cave.

At the moment of passing by the two monsters.

It was as if a breeze blew by and lifted his sleeves.

Crack! There was only a muffled explosion.

The heads of the two demons collided instantly, and broken bones and blood flew everywhere.

Shen Yi gently wiped the blood stains on his palms, and his back disappeared into the depths of the cave.

"what?"

Chi Yang was stunned for a moment. The two monsters were still smiling in the last second, but in an instant they turned into warm corpses.

There wasn't even any fluctuation of aura on Sect Master Shen's body.

Based on this skill alone, it is absolutely impossible that the other party is only in the late stage of Return to Void as it appears on the surface.

"Fuck the rules."

Chi Yang cursed and also strode in.

at this time.

Inside the Immortal Cave, the sound of heavy breathing echoed like thunder.

Obviously, the consumption of three huge monsters is not small.

But the result of this consumption is quite gratifying.

The thin figure was leaning quietly against the wall, holding a crescent-shaped sword. The black moon robe on his body had been torn into pieces and turned into green light and returned to the Longhan City. The tightly closed city gate was so unshakable that it seemed to have cut off the way for the middle-aged monk to survive.

Perhaps Liu Shiqian can defeat any one of these three monsters alone.

But when they join hands, coupled with years of cooperation, their strength is more than just addition.

The three days that usually pass in the blink of an eye now seem so long.

Now, less than two hours have passed and the outcome has already been decided.

"call."

Liu Shiqian silently looked at the third city that was looming behind the clouds.

Unfortunately, I am not a monk with good luck.

Such a breakthrough at the critical moment is rare for a cultivator like him who has been making steady progress all the way. He has been down-to-earth since the first Qingluan Immortal Palace. When he is lucky, he can comprehend the Heavenly Palace, but he has also comprehended many ordinary spiritual palaces.

After entering Baiyujing, I could barely see three cities.

But there is no need to think about opening the door that could not be opened before.

"Indeed."

Liu Shiqian spat out a mouthful of blood foam.

He stood up again, and pointed the crescent-shaped sword in his hand, which was on the verge of breaking, again.

The three demons smiled and were about to speak, but suddenly there was a hint of teasing in their eyes.

I saw a white hand gently pressing on the back of the knife.

Then the man walked forward, his slightly swaying black shirt blocking Liu Shiqian's sight, and he stood in front of the three huge demons.

"You really got beaten like this?"

Chi Yang, who rushed in a step slower, held Liu Shiqian's body and said angrily, "Are you sick in the head? Why are you talking about morality and rules with the demons?"

"Why are you here?"

Liu Shiqian frowned slightly and wiped the blood plasma that kept flowing out of his nose with the back of his hand.

He looked at Chi Yang with a hint of blame.

Elder Chi Yang understood what his old friend meant and complained, "It wasn't me who brought him here. It was Sect Master Shen who brought me here."

Liu Shiqian didn't say much, but just gripped the knife tightly again.

With some emotion, he looked at the figure in front of him. The other person's shoulders were not particularly broad under the black shirt.

But this temperament is really not inferior to other Taoists.

Although I am not good at speaking, my judgment of people is still as accurate as ever.

"Stop the demon and let the leader go first."

Liu Shiqian was no longer polite to his old friend, and the crescent-shaped sword shone again.

The long-nosed water elephant raised his arms slowly and stared at Elder Chi Yang: "If you had come earlier, there might have been a glimmer of hope... As for now, it's a little late."

Liu Shiqian's strength is only one-fourth of what it used to be.

Even with Chi Yang, nothing can be done.

As for the young man in black shirt, they didn't take him seriously at all.

"You are outnumbered and bullying the weak. Look how proud you are of yourself." Chi Yang sneered, and his fingertips also covered his forehead. A long rainbow, slightly inferior to Liu Shiqian's, connected the sky and the earth, and also summoned the shadows of Longhan and Chi Ming City.

"We who work in the Dragon Palace never mind using our numbers to bully the few, and we particularly enjoy it."

The three-headed snake demon was not angry at all, but instead let out bursts of gloomy laughter.

Then one of the three heads slowly looked at the black-shirted figure: "Sect Master Shen, what do you say? Are you tired of living today and want to come to my door to add a great achievement to my brothers? Or should I count you in as well? There are three of us, so let's fight one-on-one?"

In full view.

A smile suddenly appeared on Shen Yi's fair and handsome face: "No need."

"Oh?" The snake demon said teasingly.

But the young man raised his head, his smile faded, and he said seriously: "I also like to use my numbers to bully the few."

As soon as the words fell, two rays of light flashed out.

It transformed into an equally huge body and quietly appeared behind the three-headed monster.

The flesh-winged silkworm raised its body, which was about a hundred feet tall, and its wings that almost covered the sky and the sun stirred up the wind and sand, as if a terrifying giant creature had awakened again.

The giant tortoise, with its body surging like flowing gold, crawled on the ground, gently stroking the bald head of the water elephant with its front paws, and then slapped it wildly, laughing shrilly: "More than the people? Is it enough? I ask you if it is enough! Speak!"

"Are you mute?"

"I asked you to speak!"

The tall elephant monster also looked thin in front of the giant turtle. It was hit hard on the head and bent its body in silence.

Something seems to be wrong.

The other two big monsters also became alert instantly and were no longer as relaxed as before.

"..."

Liu Shiqian and Chi Yang looked at each other.

The appearance of these two stone puppets looked familiar, yet completely different from what I remembered.

The rich smell made the two of them feel unfamiliar.
