Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 457 - 438 Yu Family Clan_2

Chapter 457: Chapter 438 Yu Family Clan_2 Chapter 457 -438 Yu Family Clan_2 “`

After countless twists and turns, a bright light suddenly appeared before their eyes. Inside the hastily carved damp cave, row upon row of pale figures crowded together in heaps.

All of them were embracing their knees, heads buried in their arms.

A quick sweep revealed there were only a few thousand at most, and their low moaning made the scene unbearably desolate.

The surrounding walls were embedded with fist-sized pearls that emitted Yue Hua’s radiance, with all the light coming from these lunar pearls.

“Have you lot lost your minds?”

Zheng Qian’s eyelids twitched, clearly shocked by such heavy losses: “If you can’t live on land, then return to Hongze. Even if the Aquatic Race despises you, they wouldn’t exterminate your clan, would they?”

The Yu Family Clan member who had led them in here knelt down with a thump: “The Immortal speaks logic, but our ancestral teachings cannot be defied. Once we enter the water, we truly become demons, and there’s no turning back.”

Hearing this, Yan Wencheng let out a soft sigh.

The appearance of the Yu Family Clan itself was rather undignified, perhaps more despised by the true members of the human race than even the Aquatic Race of Hongze.

Even faced with such a situation, they only retreated to what was available, hiding in mud caves without daring to actually retreat into the water.

In just over ten days, they were nearly annihilated.

If there was an officer from the Pure Moon Sect willing to arrive early, the situation might have been quite different.

However, beings who live in He Dao Bao Di naturally find it difficult to empathize with those outside.

He looked up at Shen Yi.

Only to see the latter removing a pearl from the wall and examining it in his hand.

“The Yu Family shares some bloodline with the Aquatic Race, and thus possesses similar Divine Skills. They can condense Yue Hua into pearls, which are decent supplements for Cultivators, but they are only half…”

Yan Wencheng swallowed back the word “demon” that he was about to say: “They are fairly good for Transcendent Cultivators, but not of much use to those ascending from the Return to Void Realm to the palace. They barely suffice to replenish one’s energy.”

“I see.”

Shen Yi casually put the lunar pearl back in its place.

“This is the treasure of our clan; please accept it with a smile, Immortal.”

The Yu Family Clan member took out a bright red coral from his embrace, presenting it respectfully and with trembling voice to Zheng Qian: “Please, Immortal, lend your divine power to vanquish the demon and avenge our ancestor.”

The aura emanating from the piece of coral was exceptionally strong, clearly incomparable to the earlier Cyan Yang Twig.

Simply in terms of value within the Dao Palace, it was at least equivalent to a Red-Eyed Mysterious Phoenix of the Divinity Transformation Realm.

“Your ancestor is dead?”

Zheng Qian’s blunt and slightly impolite question came forth.

The expression on the Yu Family Clan member’s face turned bittersweet, but he honestly replied: “Our ancestor is grievously wounded but has not yet fallen.”

“What happened, tell me about it,” Zheng Qian asked, trying to keep her composure despite the dampness, pressing on with her inquiries.

“Half a month ago, a group of Golden Fire Sparrows came and settled on a mountain nearby. We watched but didn’t disturb them, thinking we could live and let live. But to our dismay, they coveted our dwelling and started to despise the fishy smell on us…”

In Hongze, every piece of land has to be fought over.

“We didn’t want to leave.”

“And you failed in the struggle.”

The Yu Family Clan member fell silent. The reason for their unwillingness to leave was actually quite simple.

This was the periphery of Nan Hong, under the protection of the Nan Hong Seven Sons who sheltered the human race.

If they moved further away, it would be difficult to find another top force willing to offer them help. If luck wasn’t on their side and they encountered some evil sects, being enslaved and forced to condense lunar pearls for eternity wasn’t impossible.

That would be a fate far worse than annihilation.

“What is the Demon’s Cultivation?” Shen Yi asked, looking sideways, more interested in this.

The Yu Family Clan member hesitated, uncertain if he should answer.

After all, he clearly understood who the leader was, and he heard that rules regarding age and hierarchy were taken very seriously in the Immortal Sects.

“Speak when you’re told to!” Liu Qianyun glared over.

“…” Zheng Qian helplessly glanced aside.

“There are four Golden Fire Sparrows in total, with the highest among them at the fourth layer of Return to Void. The younger ones I’m not so sure about… because they haven’t gotten the chance to make a move yet, as we have already been defeated step by step.”

The Yu Family Clan member hurriedly continued.

“`

“`

“Alright, I got it.” Zheng Qian nodded and was about to start giving orders, but suddenly her brow furrowed slightly.

Shen Yi slowly extended his hands, revealing strands of golden thread enshrouded in black mist.

Is this kid actually starting to make a move on his own?

“This is…”

Yan Wencheng was momentarily stunned, then he watched as those golden threads fell to the ground, transforming into formation symbols, he couldn’t help but exclaim in a low voice, “Forming an array?!”

Upon hearing this, Zheng Qian finally realized that this cultivator at the first layer of Return to Void was also an Array Master.

It’s just unknown how proficient he truly is.

“No need for array items… guiding the five viscera with the Divine Soul…”

Yan Wencheng subconsciously bit his finger, recalling the words of Tong Xin’chuan that day, not accustomed to using array items, there actually exists such mystical methods within the Nanyang Sect!

Immediately after, he watched Shen Yi lay down one lotus petal after another.

Five Elements Treasure Lotus Great Formation?

While Yan Wencheng was lost in confusion, he saw the strands of thread from Shen Yi’s fingertips transform into cyan threads engulfed by black mist.

With each part set up, the threads would change to different elemental attributes.

The breath of true yang, the breath of millennium wood, the breath of golden thunder…

The other party was actually using five completely different types of Spiritual Roots to form this Five Elements Treasure Lotus Great Formation without any array items!

Yan Wencheng was completely dumbfounded.

Not because having five types of Spiritual Roots was impressive, but because someone with such a tangled mess of Spiritual Roots could actually succeed in Divinity Transformation?!

Do people within the Nanyang Sect all cultivate this way?

Another question arose.

Why set up a confinement array here? Wasn’t the task to slay demons? What’s the point in trapping these members of the Yu Family Clan?

The numerous pale-skinned demon folk, sensing the subtle changes around them, all started to look up in fear, becoming somewhat disconcerted, not knowing what had provoked the Immortal Sect cultivators.

“…”

Shen Yi withdrew the Divine Thread.

With the strength of his Divine Soul after breaking through to the Return to Void Realm, he could certainly maintain the activation of the formation while moving freely within this area.

As for why it was a confinement formation,

it’s because he didn’t know any defensive formations specific to the Return to Void Realm, so he might as well use this, the effect wouldn’t be much different.

Trapping them was essentially the same as protecting them.

He was actually quite interested in these moon pearls.

Zheng Qian quietly waited for him to finish setting up the formation before preparing to take action. An act such as disobeying commands and making a move privately was considered a major taboo when venturing out.

But catching a glimpse of the awe-struck rigidity on Yan Wencheng’s face,

she found herself at a loss for words.

Compared to Liu Qianyun, an outsider, although she didn’t understand formations, she at least had some grasp of her junior brother Yan’s level.

A method that could leave him in such a state must be astonishingly extraordinary.

It seemed she had misjudged the situation earlier.

“Since you have such ability, I’ll leave these people to you. Stay here, and we’ll take care of the demons,” Zheng Qian breathed out and then proceeded outside the mud cave with Liu Qianyun.

But as soon as they appeared on the surface, they turned to see Shen Yi quickly following behind them.

She silently stared at him: “…”

“Carry on with your tasks, no need to mind me,” Shen Yi said, lightly nodding his chin.

He knew these people were experienced, and in the eyes of others, he was considered a troublemaker.

But the issue of his faceplate lifespan was not something he could share with others.

Moreover, setting aside everything else, he was quite skilled at demon slaying, so he shouldn’t cause any trouble.
