Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 596 Return to Xihong, the Lord of the Palace Arrives

Chanting your name a thousand times will enable you to ascend to heaven.

Most people would not be able to say such words.

But listening to the tone of this Great Immortal Hongze, it seems like a great blessing.

The two elderly masters of the Wuliang Daohuang Sect remained expressionless as they stared quietly at the golden statue in front of them. They were not at all surprised by the immortal's orders, as if they had already gotten used to it.

Xue Yan had just come into contact with this level and raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking of the commanding tone that this Immortal of Merit had used to talk to him and others, as well as his calmness and composure along the way. Looking at how he was now tied up tightly, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

It turns out that the hard training has damaged his brain.

Even if one has great merits, before they are transformed into real strength, he dares to be so lax and careless and fail to see his own identity clearly.

"Ok?"

The smile on Xue Yan's face faded slightly. He found that the Immortal of Merit did not show the rage and surprise he had imagined. Instead, he stood silently where he was, carefully observing the Immortal Hongze on the stairs.

That's a bit abnormal.

On the side of the Prison-Suppressing Golden Body, the black dragon in a white shirt with an indifferent expression raised its head slightly, its lips slightly turned up, revealing a row of cold fangs.

It was as tall as the statue. It suddenly stretched out its hand and pressed it on the other's shoulder. It lowered its voice and said coldly, "How dare you blaspheme the power of the immortal? Kneel down!"

The black dragon obviously came from the North Dragon Palace and had an extraordinary status. Even if he was not the Dragon King, he should be the best among them.

With just a slight move, a terrifying aura that made people's hearts fluttered out.

Being held down at such a close distance, let alone the Prison-Suppressing Golden Body in the Return to Void Realm, even if Shen Yi himself came, he would probably not be able to break free and could only be forced to his knees on the ground.

"..."

Shen Yi glanced at it sideways, but his body still stood upright.

It’s not that he has any hidden tricks that allow him to use his golden body to fight against the black dragon.

It was only because at the moment when it took action, the immortal on the stairs suddenly glanced at the black dragon calmly.

Just one glance made the leader of the Northern Dragon Palace feel cold all over. He froze in place for a moment, and only withdrew his hand woodenly after a moment.

"laugh."

The two elderly masters of the Wuliang Daohuang Sect quietly looked away and sneered in their hearts.

As expected of a demon or a beast, he can even flatter with his hooves.

This golden statue has, after all, been recognized by the Immortal Court. If the Great Immortal Hongze can bully him, does anyone else have the qualifications to do so?
To despise the might of immortals is to despise the Great Immortal Hongze as well.

"My immortal friend, you will stay with me in this deep palace."

The immortal retracted his gaze and sat back on the chair. As he gently waved his sleeves, a seemingly ordinary lacquered mahogany wedge flew out, pierced through the chest of the Prison-Suppressing Golden Body with a "whoosh", and nailed it to the Panlong Pillar behind him.

Shen Yi lowered his eyes and looked at his heart. He did not feel any pain, but he was gradually losing control of his body.

Even moving your fingers is just a delusion.

Under the gaze of everyone, he closed his eyes as if he had accepted his fate.

Shen Yi is not a masochist. Knowing that this journey is dangerous, he still wants to suffer this punishment on behalf of Qinghua.

The reason why he wanted to take over this golden body was simply because he wanted to seize this hard-won opportunity to understand what kind of enemy he was about to face.

Until now, I have indeed noticed some things, but they seem to be of no use.

For example, at the moment when the immortal sacrificed the wooden wedge just now, with the help of the Demon King's Seal, Shen Yi keenly noticed that the aura of the entire Nanhong was mobilized.

This shows that even if he was only attacking a golden body in the Return to Void Realm, this immortal had already used the power of the White Rhino magic weapon.

From this tiny detail, we can tell that the other party is more accustomed to using the external force granted by the Immortal Court... Of course, this doesn't mean anything. After all, we just met once, and it is really difficult to collect enough information.

In addition to this, when they were in Nanhong before, the immortal would rather go to the trouble of asking the Southern Dragon King to come to Taoyuan Villa to guard it, and did not do it himself. It is likely that he was afraid of being discovered by the Immortal Court.

But at this moment, after being tied up, the other party suddenly seemed to not care about this anymore.

Shen Yi felt the ropes and talismans on his body, and his thoughts became clearer. This means that these things can conceal the secrets of heaven?

In other words...the golden body is no longer protected by the Immortal Court.

The reason why he can still retain his life is because the immortal is greedy for his own merits and needs to digest them slowly.

If you want to keep this clone of the Immortal of Merit, it depends on whether you grow faster or the Immortal can digest it faster.

"call."

Shen Yi let out a light breath, and beneath his seemingly calm face, a chill had already risen in his heart.

He has done this kind of racing against time too many times.

Moreover, it has never lost.

Thinking of this, he opened his eyes again and glanced at the many figures in front of him.

These things on him that could conceal the secrets of heaven could not have come from Hongze, but now they were distributed to Beilong Palace and Wuliangdaohuang Sect.

This shows that the previous guess was correct.

In the entire Beihong, there is no difference between the demons and cultivators at all. They are all birds of a feather, the immortals' lackeys.

In this case, things become much simpler.

……

Nanyang’s treasure land, the palace on the top of the mountain.

Shen Yi slowly stood up, took a step forward, and appeared in front of the Patriarch's Hall.

As the master of Nanyang, he could easily sense that many outsiders had entered the treasure land.

Usually Xuanqing was the only one in the ancestral hall, but now it was full of people. The six sect leaders were staring at the tall stone sculpture with complicated expressions, while the Baohua sect leader was chatting with Xuanqing in a low voice.

Seeing Shen Yi coming in, Xuan Qing hurriedly stood up and bowed, then opened his mouth, only to find that his voice was a little hoarse.

The leader of the Baohua Sect gently supported his arm and gave Shen Yi a grateful look.

"call."

Xuan Qing gritted his teeth, let out a breath, and forced himself to suppress the choking feeling.

Apart from his master, he didn't have many people with whom he could confide.

This led to the fact that after Xuan Qing learned that Sect Master Shen actually took those words to heart and took a real step, his mind has been shaken until now and he has been unable to recover for a long time.

The other party once said that he wanted to go and see the immortal, and if possible, he would take himself with him.

Xuan Qing was not sure if he could muster up the courage to stand in front of the man in the white flowing cloud robe again. After all, as long as he saw him, he would be reminded of his master's face, which was distorted with fear and tears.

The old man, who had always kept his back straight and had never done anything against his will, lived up to the name of Jiaoyang, but in the end he sacrificed all the disciples he cared about most.

The immortal knew that the master was not afraid of death, and had never even thought about really being able to save his disciple. He showed up that day probably because he couldn't bear it and wanted to do something, such as dying with his disciple.

But the immortal still found the only way of punishment that could break his Taoist heart.

"I……"

Hyunkyung swallowed.

Shen Yi passed by the other person, patted his shoulder gently, and skipped the topic: "What do you want, seniors?"

"We are not worthy of the title of senior." Deng Xiangjun smiled bitterly and waved his hands, and stood up with many fellow disciples to salute: "I am just worried and don't know what to do, so I came here to ask you, the Nanyang Sect Master, if you have any instructions."

Ye Jiu was obviously impatient, and he interrupted Junior Brother Deng's polite words: "Even with the help of Baohua Sect and Banshan Sect, the news of the death of the Southern Dragon King cannot be concealed for long. If Qi Zhaoyi does not return, the Western Dragon Palace will definitely notice something is wrong. Do you want to..."

As he said this, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Since we have to fight anyway, we might as well strike first.

If we wait until Xilong Palace receives the news first, prepares itself, and then calls on friends and gathers a large group of helpers, wouldn’t we then have to return to the previous passive defensive situation?

We can't rely on Sect Master Shen alone to solve these evildoers every time.

"You might as well just go straight to Beihong."

Qi Yansheng rolled his eyes, such frivolous behavior was not in line with his usual character, but with Shen Yi in charge of the Seven Sects, he no longer had any reason to pretend to be steady.

He was calm before because he wanted to suppress his fellow disciples, but now that he can't suppress them anymore, he might as well just give up.

Just like Ye Jiu said, just listen to the Nanyang Sect Master.

But this doesn't mean that he can just sit there and watch Ye Jiu do whatever he wants.

The West Dragon Palace is different from the group of yellow poisonous dragons in the south. Not to mention the issue of strength, they have not locked themselves up in one place. They have always maintained contact with both the east and the north.

It's not that easy to move them.

"Let's go to Xihong first." Shen Yi pondered for a moment and shook his head. Based on what he had seen with the help of the golden body, with the current strength of himself and others, going to Beihong was not a piece of cake at all.

Before he finished speaking, there was silence in the room.

The corners of Qi Yansheng's mouth twitched twice. It seemed that Sect Master Shen was actually thinking seriously about his joking words.

After a brief moment of surprise, the sect leaders looked at the tall stone sculpture again, their eyes becoming more complicated.

If possible, who would be willing to hide in a remote place?

Just like Ye Jiu, if he hadn't left Nanhong, how could he have the chance to learn from and communicate with fellow cultivators of the same realm and find his own opportunity? He wasted all these years and was unable to break through the realm, let alone the Tao realm, even the perfection of the Heavenly realm was gradually becoming hopeless.

Nanyang Sect had taken them out once before, so was it possible... to go back again?
The sect leaders did not notice that behind them, Xuan Qing's pupils suddenly trembled violently.

He felt that this group of senior brothers might have misunderstood something.

What Sect Leader Shen wants to do is not to lead the Seven Sons of Nanhong to regain the top power. The imaginary enemy in their hearts has always been that immortal!

In other words, the leader's attention was not limited to Hongze from beginning to end.

"The three of us will go with you."

Ji Jingxi noticed Xuan Qing's strangeness from the corner of his eyes, and after a moment's hesitation, he looked at Shen Yi and said softly: "In any case, it will always be more convenient to have a few people around you."

"As for the sect, I'll leave it to you, Senior Brother Deng, to take care of."

As a junior sister, Ji Jingxi seldom expressed her opinions, but whenever she spoke, almost no one would refute her.

Several sect leaders were stunned for a moment, then all nodded.

Now all the evil spirits in Nanhong have been killed. Considering the size of the Seven Sons of Nanhong, there won't be any problems at all.

"What you want to do...cannot be done without visiting the East Dragon Palace."

Ji Jingxi slowly walked to Shen Yi's side and asked, "Maybe we should talk to Zi Xian?"

"talk later."

Shen Yi did not agree directly.

Among the four great powers, the one that gave him the most trouble was actually the East Dragon Palace, not that they were stronger than the North Dragon Palace.

It’s this group of purple-bearded white dragons and the Seven Sons of Nanhong… to be precise, it’s the subtle relationship between them and Senior Xuan Qing.

Ever since Shen Yi left the treasure land of Nanyang, he has been taken care of by Senior Xuan Qing, whether it was the Hongmeng Purple Qi, or the introduction to the Baohua Sect to seek elixirs, or even personally going to the Seven Sects to knock on the door.

They all bought a lot of time for themselves.

This favor must be repaid.

Shen Yi is not a indecisive person. He is determined to obtain the Donghong Dragon Cave, but this group of purple-bearded white dragons is indeed a bit outrageous. Except for the Fairy Zi Ling who has ascended to heaven, no one can find any reason to deal with them.

To put it bluntly, the reason why the Yue family has not yet come to Nanhong to investigate, allowing him to successfully get rid of the Southern Dragon King, is largely because of the help of the Eastern Dragon Palace in covering it up.

When dealing with the Haoyue Frost Tiger clan, it was Yushan Dragon Concubine who helped stop An Tingfeng, otherwise the outcome would be unpredictable.

As for Fairy Zi Ling... these sect leaders and Xuan Qing himself had separated the fairy mount from the East Dragon Palace, and had treated them separately without mixing them up. So it was not my turn to take revenge.

If possible, Shen Yi is not willing to do anything ungrateful, and it would be better if there were other solutions.

Of course, the premise is that Donglong Palace stands on the opposite side of the immortals.

Shen Yi turned his eyes to the west.

The Jade Mountain Dragon Queen was obviously preparing some plan. If possible, he would also like to know how the East Dragon Palace planned to deal with the immortal. It would not be a bad thing to have another option.

"When will we leave?"

Ji Jingxi waited for Shen Yi to finish thinking before asking softly.

Taking the two people standing side by side into their sight, several sect leaders suddenly felt a little emotional. Nanyang and Qingyue, complementing each other, this scene has not been seen for many years.

I just don’t know if the light of the sun and the moon will ever shine on Hongze again.

"If there's nothing else, we can leave now."

Shen Yi stepped out of the Patriarch's Hall. You should know that his golden body was still trapped in the Beihongxian Hall.

From the time I traveled through time until now, I have never suffered such injustice.

If we delay any further, the merits that Qinghua gained by eliminating the 100,000 years of killing will become someone else's.

Faced with Shen Yi's hasty decision, no one raised any objection.

Ji Jingxi, Ye Jiu and Qi Yansheng followed.

Under the gaze of several Taoists outside the door, the four figures slowly disappeared, left the precious land of Nanyang, and each used their magical powers to fly far away to the west.

Accompanied by the leader of Baohua Sect, Xuan Qing followed out with a complicated expression.

"I……"

"Don't take everything personally. Do you still think you are the unrivalled genius you once were?"

The leader of the Baohua Sect gave him a glare and then gestured with his hand.

Xuan Qing looked over there and found that the young Taoists, led by Su Hongxiu and others, were all staring at the direction where the sect leaders were leaving with burning eyes.

Under the influence of Shen Yi, this group of young people could no longer suppress their restless hearts and continue to live in seclusion like their master.

“Besides, don’t you want to see Sect Master Shen sitting on the clouds like Senior Qin and competing with those strong men?” Sect Master Baohua smiled expectantly.

"I think……"

Xuanqing retracted his gaze, changed the subject, and sighed, "But he doesn't want to."

Under the surprised eyes of the Baohua Sect Master, Xuan Qing rubbed his face vigorously and murmured, "The Sect Master doesn't want to compete with anyone. He can sit anywhere, but no one can be above him."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present turned around in surprise and the place became silent.
