Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 556 - 482 Three-Party Reaction

Chapter 556: Chapter 482: Three-Party Reaction

Chapter 556 -482: Three-Party Reaction

The disciple of the Immortal Sect clashed with Dragon Descendant Ke Shisan, the fight was tremendous, sprawling across a thousand miles.

The Aquatic Race and Cultivators were all abuzz with discussions.

Some said they sensed the presence of the Ling Yun Sect, others claimed to have seen the unmistakably sharp ancient Sword Dao Palace, concluding it must have been the Heavenly Sword Sect taking action.

The event finally concluded with the disappearance of the Turtle Race individuals, and the City Lord’s daughter of Xuan Yue City also went missing without a trace.

It had been a long while since such a direct conflict between the Nan Hong Seven Sons and Southern Dragon Palace had occurred, causing all beings in Nan Hong to grow somewhat anxious.

The former reigns over the land, while the latter dominates the waters.

Their statuses appear equal.

However, under the deterrence of the other three Dragon Palaces, the Nan Hong Seven Sons have always been more cautious, and even if there’s discord among the four Dragon Palaces on ordinary days, they never changed their united front against outsiders.

Regardless of how one puts it.

No matter which side makes a move, for the ordinary forces, it’s akin to a natural disaster.

“…”

Yin Qizhang returned to the City Lord’s Manor.

Faced with the gazes of the many elders in the manor, he merely arranged for a multitude of people to search.

The reaction seemed fine on the surface.

However, to those familiar and close to him who understood him, the expressions of these people became slightly strange.

Miss Yin has gone missing.

A father searching for his daughter always holds the moral high ground, yet the City Lord remained without the slightest action.

It’s not about offending the Nan Hong Seven Sons or the Dragon Palace, after all, everyone had seen the City Lord staying quietly within the city that day, it definitely wasn’t him who acted.

The mere action of sending disciples to search seemed somewhat perfunctory, no matter how one looked at it.

“Everyone, leave.”

Yin Qizhang sat in the hall and waved everyone away with a sweep of his hand.

When only he remained,

He slightly furrowed his brows, a trace of confusion flickered across his eyes, “Ling Yun Sect… Heavenly Sword Sect…”

Yin Qizhang muttered these two names to himself.

Then he quietly shook his head.

Xuan Yue City had little dealings with Ling Yun Sect, let alone any friendship; if the latter wanted to take action, it would have to represent the will of the Nan Hong Seven Sons.

If that were the case, there would be no need to cover it up.

As for the Heavenly Sword Sect, the same rationale applied; with their characters, if they were to intervene, they would have done so earlier.

The ancient Sword Dao Palace seen by others was likely the result of the Heavenly Sword Immortal’s reluctance to harm.

But it still didn’t add up.

Because the aura didn’t match.

The real perpetrator, on the night of the banquet, had stirred up a storm of killing in the City Lord’s Manor. freēwēbnovel.com

The Aquatic Race demons appearing in the sky the next day were merely stone Spirit Puppets, hence they hid among the clouds to prevent others from seeing the clues.

This meant that the person did not wish to reveal their identity.

The Heavenly Sword Immortal had respectable cultivation, but definitely not such means.

The matter of taking the bride might just be a misunderstanding, after all, both those sending off the bride and those taking her, most likely both intended to help Xuan Yue City.

The only oddity was how Dragon Descendant Ke Shisan got involved.

“Who could it be?”

Yin Qizhang murmured, though he already had a rough guess.

There aren’t many forces related to Xuan Yue City with the strength yet temporarily unwilling to come forward.

The reason he dared not be sure.

Was because he found it hard to imagine how that person could have such means.

“Is it you?”

Yin Qizhang lifted his gaze toward the outside of the hall, his voice slightly hoarse, “Sect Master?”

…

Heavenly Sword Sect.

In an inconspicuous courtyard, Su Yushang stood at the door, passing a Jade Slip, “You stay here for now, try not to go out, if you need anything, find me again.”

“Sister Su, when can I return?” Yin Yajun asked timidly, in truth, she merely couldn’t resist the anxiety in her heart, worried about the impact this incident might have on Xuan Yue City, so she instinctively inquired.

Unexpectedly, she received a definite response.

“Return where? Xuan Yue City?”

Su Yushang glanced over, “In about a month, whether you can go back or not will be clear, and as for more specific matters, just don’t ask for now, settle down first.”

About a month.

Yin Yajun didn’t quite understand how the other party deduced the timing, but still obediently nodded, “Okay.”

Su Yushang withdrew her gaze, sighing.

She herself had no particular opinion on the Seven Sons Gathering, after all, her sister was the sole heir to the Nanyang Treasure Land, the future genuine Unity Realm Stage powerhouse.

With her sister looking out for her, as long as she didn’t court death, she could live a peaceful life in Nan Hong.

But now, Su Yushang strangely hoped that the young man she had only met twice would truly ascend to the position of Sect Master.

Only then could Yin Yajun openly and legitimately return to Xuan Yue City.

Of course… if that Sect Master Shen had not given herself a bump, perhaps she would have even more fondness for this hope.

Su Yushang curled her lips, gently rubbing her belly.

What kind of bizarre creature was it, able to strike her a heavy blow in one hit, the aura on the opponent was exceptionally muddled, seeming like none was very high, but when blended together, they unexpectedly burst forth with strength that even she was slightly surprised by.

Why didn’t she notice this the last time they met?

Having lived in Nan Hong for so long, this was the first time Su Yushang had been beaten up by someone of the opposite sex.

Forget it, since the other party at least bore the title of Sect Master, let’s consider it a lesson from an elder.

Yin Yajun was equally stunned for a moment before voicing her concerns, “Will Sister Su encounter any trouble?”

“Tch, what trouble could I possibly…”

Su Yushang exuded the demeanor of the Heavenly Sword fairy as she turned and walked out of the courtyard. Before her words had finished, her voice suddenly elongated, “Trouble——”

A violent gust of wind swept through, whisking her away directly.

“Uh.” Yin Yajun stared blankly out into the empty courtyard, witnessing her companion being swept into the depths of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The Ancestral Master Hall of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Eight elders gathered together.

“Aiyo.”

As the fairy landed, she immediately knelt on the cushion, vigorously rubbing her forehead.

It was then an old man gently said, “Taking it upon yourself to meddle in the Sect Master succession, who gave you the audacity? Wasn’t the matter with Wei Yuanling of the Ling Yun Sect a sufficient lesson for you?”

Putting aside the various ambitions of those from White Jade Capital, if one desires to become the Sect Master of Nanyang, and command the lives of all beings in the treasured land, facing trial is an inevitable matter.

To put it unpleasantly.

With the unreserved support of the remaining six Sect Masters.

Any from White Jade Capital could succeed in merging with Nanyang.

But what about after the merger?

Without the proper disposition, how much of the Unity Realm Stage’s potential can be realized, and is there experience in handling affairs?

If they are merely of the level associated with the Boundary.

Should they offend someone outside, get captured, and subjected to the slightest torment, isn’t it possible that the tragedy of the Nanyang Sect from a hundred thousand years ago might repeat itself?

You must understand, as one of the Union Dao, a mere thought could take the lives of beings within the treasure land for their own use.

If the treasured land of Nanyang really ended up in the hands of a timid and weak individual, it might as well remain sealed as it was before.

“Do you realize your mistake?”

Under the gaze of the eight elders, Su Yushang glared with puffed cheeks but didn’t argue.

At worst, she would be confined like Wei Yuanling was; what was the big deal? It wasn’t her first time.

What she didn’t anticipate was that these elders would elevate such a trivial matter of interfering in matchmaking, to such a grave height.

Meddling in the ascension of the Sect Master isn’t something that can be casually brushed aside.

At that moment,

a petite figure stepped in, her voice as sharp as a sword, “Who said it was unauthorized participation? We participated openly and fairly. What’s wrong with that? I want to push him to become Sect Master. Anyone who disagrees, step forward.”

The newcomer seemed to be a mere toddler of two or three years of age.

Compared to when she last met with Elder Liu, she seemed to have shrunk even more, to the point where her long gown dragged on the ground like a skirt.

Her tiny hands struggled to stretch out of the wide sleeves, which seemed far too large for her.

The only peculiarity was a few extra wrinkles on her tender face, making it appear somewhat odd.

“…”

Su Yushang quietly glanced towards the door, seeing her Blood Master looking over with a worried face.

Undoubtedly, the latter was concerned for her own safety and had sought her sister’s help.

It wasn’t until this moment that Su Yushang finally hung her head low, knowing the critical situation her sister was currently facing.

Yet she couldn’t blame her Blood Master for anything; after all, she was concerned for her as well.

“Do you understand what you’re saying?”

A few elders shifted their expressions and collectively looked at the diminutive figure, warningly saying, “Every single one of your words and actions represents the entire Heavenly Sword Sect.”

The White Jade representations from the other sects were still deliberating. Su Hongxiu was clearly not taking any of these people seriously.

“So it’s you who disagrees?”

Su Hongxiu didn’t reply but merely glanced at the oldest one among them.

“This elder does not disagree,”

said the elder, who was certainly not willing to provoke Su Hongxiu in such a situation.

Instead, he averted his gaze.

“Then that settles it, I’m taking her away.”

Su Hongxiu gestured casually and led her sister out of the Ancestral Master Hall.

Feeling the indifferent gaze of that statue looking down upon her, she swallowed nervously. Although a part of her felt guilty, she still tried to leave with forced composure.

“Sister, are we really going to help him?”

It was only after they were far from the Ancestral Master Hall that Su Yushang timidly looked down and asked.

Su Hongxiu directly gave her a punch to the knee. “Help what? If I hadn’t said that, how could I have gotten you out? If you dare to do it again, beware that I might smack your fairy behind in front of the Nan Hong Seven Sons.”

“No… don’t… I know I was wrong…”

Su Yushang quickly waved her hands. With her sister in such a state, the embarrassment of such a disgraceful act was certainly not beneath her.

Just thinking about that scene made her want to dig a hole and bury herself in it.

“Sigh.”

Su Hongxiu sighed and took out a medallion. “This time the Rotating Sword Fruit is yours to retrieve, also a chance to lay low.”

Under such pressing circumstances, she might not be able to protect her sister, to avoid those old folks settling accounts afterward.

“Leave it to me, you can rest assured.”

Su Yushang patted her chest and whispered, “Can I bring Blood Master with me? I promised to take her out for a visit, and she can also protect me.”

Su Hongxiu was silent for a moment, but seeing the expectant look in her sister’s eyes, she eventually said indifferently, “As you wish.”

At these words, Su Yushang immediately showed a joyous smile and signaled to someone behind her.

“…”

The graceful and noble lady also revealed a hopeful smile.

However, the instant Su Yushang’s gaze averted,

her smile turned slightly more complex.
