Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1274 - 762: 2 Tearful Eyes
Chapter 1274: Chapter 762: 2 Tearful Eyes
Master Shu Yu casually concluded the matter.
In the Three Immortals Sect, his power was not particularly outstanding, but because he had a senior sister like You Yao, he had witnessed firsthand how she rose to her current position step by step. Therefore, his understanding of the great tribulation was much clearer than his other fellow disciples.
Take Yun Miao of Lingxu Cave as an example.
To this day, Master Shu Yu still didn’t know how powerful this person truly was, but no matter what, being able to become the senior brother of an entire lineage, coupled with reaching the pinnacle of Extreme Ninety-nine Changes, how bad could his strength be?
Yet, because of hesitation and indecision, he had fallen to the point where he was now assisting disciples from other branches, waiting for others to share the spoils.
In this great tribulation, they were fighting for the incense of eternal life, and the situation changed swiftly. With the added Emperor’s Aura, the enhancement of the cultivation of the fellow disciples had reached unprecedented levels.
Seizing the initiative without mercy, striving to grasp every bit of incense within one’s ability, only then could one ensure that they wouldn’t be squeezed out in future tribulations.
"Invite him out under the pretense of wanting to reminisce, since you both hail from the Southern Continent."
Master Shu Yu slowly closed his eyes. Now that such a disaster had emerged in the Northern Continent, the elders who idled away their days visiting friends and discussing Dao were likely to return, including the uncle from Lingxu Cave.
He didn’t want to gamble on how this uncle would view a cultivator from the Southern Continent temporarily staying in Lingxu Cave.
Moreover, immortals didn’t duel in front of mortals, which was an unwritten rule in the Northern Continent; conducting affairs should be done with the dignity expected of a great sect.
"Senior brother..." Shen Mountain Ancestor moved his lips.
"What, you don’t want to go?" Master Shu Yu furrowed his brows, his tone slightly cold.
"That’s not the case. Junior Brother just wants to say, do not underestimate this Dan Emperor. Although I have never seen him, I have personally experienced the techniques of the Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Bodhisattva. To escape from this fierce deity is not the work of an ordinary person."
Shen Mountain Ancestor knew these Northern Continent cultivators possessed numerous methods, but he was still afraid the other party might slip up and suffer a loss.
"Heh." Master Shu Yu chuckled, looking over mockingly: "Didn’t you also escape from his grasp? Could it be that Senior Brother’s eyes are blind and failed to recognize the extraordinary nature of Junior Brother Shen Mountain?"
"That... that’s different." Shen Mountain Ancestor stammered, waving his hand to explain: "We escaped because..."
"Relax, I know what I’m doing."
Master Shu Yu stopped teasing and interrupted his counterpart with a sweep of his sleeve.
He never believed in accidents. Or rather, if someone truly had strength, they should be able to solve these accidents. No matter how much can be said, in the end, it was just the techniques of the Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Bodhisattva that weren’t enough.
To engage in internal strife among fellow disciples and even slaughtered the disciple Golden Toad of the Future Buddha, yet managed to let escape alive, and not just one, but three of them.
With such skill, it was really hard to believe.
Of course, Master Shu Yu also understood the seriousness of this matter. Even though everyone knew that worsening circumstances would inevitably lead to some casualties among their peers, it was absolutely unacceptable for him to initiate it, even if the Taixu Pill Emperor was only considered half a peer.
If his reputation were tarnished, it would easily make him the target of all.
After all, he had Senior Sister You Yao to bear the pressure above, so it should be the disciples of other branches who were anxious.
"Alright, you may leave. Once you’ve invited him out, come here to find me."
Master Shu Yu commanded the Immortal Chariot, arriving at Heavenly Tower Mountain.
He tossed out a jade slip and watched Shen Mountain Ancestor sweep down. Only then did he call upon the magic artifact to seek out several Great Demons stationed near the Dao Field.
As they said, many hands make light work. He called for several to oversee the formation, just in case the disciples of the Taixu lineage tried to escape again.
Moments later.
Master Shu Yu stowed away the Immortal Chariot and landed in front of a cave residence.
He slightly frowned.
In the past, upon sensing his aura, these Great Demons would have come out courteously to greet him, but today, even at the entrance, there was no response.
His mind stirred. Master Shu Yu lightly brushed his wide sleeve, already holding a Dao Sword in his palm.
He infused the sword with Tribulation Power, quietly imbued a Divine Skill within, and finally stepped into the cave residence with an unchanged expression.
"..."
Master Shu Yu stopped slowly, watching the untouched surroundings. After careful investigation, he found no traces of a duel, yet the four Demon Venerables were nowhere to be found.
His eyes finally showed a hint of confusion.
He distinctly ordered these Great Demons to not leave this place without an Imperial Edict.
A setup!
With a single thought, Master Shu Yu turned and swept out of the cave residence, only to find no formation hindering him.
Carrying the Dao Sword, he stared at the empty Sky Curtain, his breathing growing rapid.
After a long time, his face turned dark. Finally, he cursed aloud: "These despicable beasts!"
No traces of a duel, nor a trap set by others, leaving only one possibility.
Great Demons had become highly sought-after in the Northern Continent after the tribulation began, with everyone wanting to recruit more as long as they could afford them.
Those vile beasts must have desired more and defected to another faction!
Master Shu Yu took several deep breaths, suppressing the raging anger in his heart.
No need to rush. Since a considerable effort was expended to recruit these Great Demons, they certainly wouldn’t keep them hidden. As long as they were sent out to harvest Emperor’s Aura, there would be signs to follow.
Once identified whose disciples took them, he would ensure they understood the price of stealing from Qingguang Cave!
Master Shu Yu turned back to the cave residence, and with a slap, struck the Dao Sword onto the table.
