Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 787 Descending the Mountain (Part 6)

Awooo~~~~~

Just then, a long and loud wolf howl suddenly rang out.

Like a striking bell, the sound reverberated for miles around, spreading continuously without ceasing.

*Sizzle*

The woman opened her eyes, and the gleaming tip of the wolf's claws stopped less than a centimeter away from her nose.

In the area covered by the sound, a sudden flash of clarity appeared in the eyes of the wolves whose ferocious instincts had been activated by the powder.

boom! ! !

The ground suddenly shook, causing everyone on the ground to sway.

Looking into the distance, a huge shadow rose into the sky and spread rapidly from afar.

Swish...

In the blink of an eye, the shadow had reached the sky above the inner city of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. The light suddenly dimmed, blocking the moonlight, and hung overhead like a dark cloud.

call…...

The enormous, mountain-like shadow plummeted downwards, crashing to the ground with a loud thud. The surrounding buildings were affected, causing the earth to shake violently. Visible yellow shockwaves exploded outwards, forcefully collapsing many houses.

The shockwave spread outwards, and many people were thrown off balance and fell to the ground.

"Xiaoyue, it's the Sect Master!! The Sect Master has arrived!!!"

The guards in the inner city were all disheveled, their clothes tattered and covered in dust and blood, but seeing this scene boosted their morale and inspired them.

The enormous, mountain-like wolf easily suppressed the chaos of the wolf pack with just one long howl.

At this moment, three figures approached from afar, appearing as if by teleportation, and slowly revealed themselves, stopping not far above Xiaoyue.

"A purebred ice wolf... that's interesting."

One of the old Taoist priests, dressed in black, had a goatee, a hooked nose, and gray hair. Several bells hung from his waist. His eyes were filled with greed as he looked at Xiaoyue.

"It's just a beast. If you like it, cripple it later and bring it back to the sect. It would be a bit unacceptable for it to leave the sect empty-handed."

Yan Xuanji wore a dark red robe, a purple-gold Taoist crown, and held a whisk in his hand. He exuded an otherworldly air and a dignified demeanor.

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priest in black immediately showed a look of joy on his face.

Just as I was about to smile and express my gratitude, suddenly, another shout filled with suppressed extreme anger rang out. The sound was like thunder, rolling and making my eardrums ache and my hair stand on end.

"enough!!!"

"I didn't expect... you... still came..."

In the distance, on the horizon, a dark light suddenly appeared.

Even though it was nighttime, the black light acted like a black hole, absorbing all the surrounding light.

Han Yi's face was frosty, his black cloak fluttering in the wind, and he arrived opposite the three people in an instant like a rocket.

A gust of wind swept over them, the powerful gusts of wind making everyone's clothes and hair fly wildly, forcing them to keep their heads down.

The silvery moonlight, like a veil, gently enveloped Han Yi.

It was as if he was wearing a silver halo, looking down at all living beings.

"When you were discussing this, did you forget something? Shouldn't you have kept your voices down? Do you really think this is your own home?" Han Yi glanced at the chaotic scene, and two flames suddenly rose in the depths of his eyes.

"Han Yi, the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect?" Yan Xuanji narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the blinding light in the sky.

"It's me." Han Yi's tone was calm, suppressing extreme coldness. "Three experts from Yuanmiao Sect have come all this way from the mountains without even a greeting... and just barged in... isn't that... a bit too much? When you come to the host's house, shouldn't you... show some respect?"

call…...

The sky changed, the north wind howled, and dark clouds suddenly gathered and covered the area. In the blink of an eye, the moonlight disappeared, and the world was plunged into darkness.

Throughout the inner city, only the green light emanating from the eyes of wild beasts and the dilapidated red lanterns provided a meager amount of illumination.

"Heh..." The old Taoist with the goatee chuckled lightly, somewhat disdainfully.

"My Yuanmiao Sect has protected Yunzhou for a thousand years. Every inch of this land has been stained with the blood of my Yuanmiao Sect's ancestors. You, the lower sects, not only do you not know how to be grateful, but you also repeatedly defy our sect's dignity. You really have a lot of nerve."

"Heaven has a benevolent heart; seeing the difficulty of your cultivation, it has granted you the privilege of admitting your guilt, handing over all the inheritances of the Myriad Beasts Sect, cooperating with all actions, and serving with your life. In return, you are given a glimmer of hope for the Myriad Beasts Sect's future."

Han Yi's gaze pierced through the darkness and quietly landed on the old Taoist priest.

"What arrogance! Who are you? What gives you the right to decide our fate with a single word?"

He focused his attention out of the corner of his eye on the handsome man at the head of the group, who was fair-skinned, beardless, and dressed in a blue Taoist robe, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance.

The key is that this person's aura is faint and elusive, like a wild beast restraining its breath, extremely reserved, or like a calm pool of water, deep and unfathomable.

As for the other two, although their auras were powerful, they were still within an acceptable range overall.

"I am the deputy dean of the Sword Academy, called Ling Sou Qing Ya Zi. With your junior status, you probably haven't heard of me." Qing Ya Zi laughed, "However, the person next to me is one of the six peaks under the Sword Academy's dean, Dean Yan Xuan Ji. Don't tell me you don't know him."

As for this… the academy head’s junior brother, he’s the renowned Tianjue Shou Liu Miao, who spends most of his time cultivating on the three main peaks…”

His voice was somewhat exaggerated, which made it sound a bit obsequious and stiff.

"Alright, no need for further introductions. Quickly resolve this matter and don't let it interfere with your cultivation." Liu Miaoxuan frowned and interrupted directly.

"Understood, understood." Qingya Zi smiled and said, "Han Yi, I'll give you one last chance. The entire Ten Thousand Beasts Sect will be brought under the management of the Sword Mansion and will be at their beck and call. All past sins will be forgiven."

"..."

Han Yi fell silent for a moment. He had heard of Qing Ya Zi before. He was a powerful figure from the previous generation, in the same era as Zhao Zi Yang of Jing Tian Zhuang. This man was both righteous and wicked, with an unpredictable temperament. It was said that he was skilled at controlling beasts in battle, and was invincible and extremely impressive.

Later, his reputation gradually faded, and information about him disappeared.

Everyone said that this person was old and destined to die of old age, sickness, or death. Or perhaps he had offended a powerful enemy and had already perished.

Qingya Zi had no disciples or apprentices and was all alone, so no one came forward to defend him.

So everyone assumed the news was true or false.

Who would have thought that Qingya Zi was not dead at all, but instead joined the Yuanmiao Sect. It seems he is doing quite well, essentially serving as Yan Xuanji's deputy.

The reason this person came along is probably because he is skilled in beast taming and is preparing to take over the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect for overall management.

"Past sins...may I ask you...what sins have we committed?" Han Yi pondered for a moment and asked in a deep voice.

"To be ignorant of reason and disregard righteousness is one crime. To be rebellious and openly defy orders is another. To repeatedly refuse to listen to advice and even attack and kill my Yuanmiao Sect's envoy is a third crime!"

Qingya Zi sneered, "These three crimes are undeniable, irrefutable, and no one can explain them. Just one of them is enough to shatter your Myriad Beasts Sect into pieces!"

"Three major crimes? What makes you say that?" Han Yi asked in surprise.

"First of all, my Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has always been kind to others and never bullies the weak. We have always respected all rules and principles. Putting aside everything else, the resources that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has contributed to your Yuanmiao Sect every year and every quarter since its establishment are not a small amount, are they?"

After news of the demonic calamity spread, they diligently trained and prepared to increase their strength and successfully overcome the tribulation. These things... all have traceable origins; they are not just my wild speculations.

"Secondly, we never said we wouldn't agree to your conditions... It's just that... we need time to consider. If we don't give you time to consider and keep pressuring you, will you end up blaming us?"

"Third..." Han Yi paused here, a cold look appearing on his face.

"The so-called envoy you speak of... could it be an envoy sent to assassinate you? Would you simply stand by and let someone kill you? Besides..."

He took a deep breath.

"Even if the Myriad Beasts Sect was at fault first, it has now been completely disbanded as an apology, isn't that enough...?"

As soon as Han Yi finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene immediately quieted down.

"you…...?!"

Qingya Zi subconsciously wanted to refute, but found that what the other party said was reasonable and well-founded, and he couldn't refute it at all.

"Heh...you really are sharp-tongued..." Yan Xuanji chuckled lightly, then suddenly spoke, "Han Yi, we're all intelligent people; there's no point in engaging in these witty exchanges. It's common knowledge...whether the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect disbands...the pillar that sustains it...is not anything else...but you..."

...Han Yi.

She took a small step forward, her eyes flashing with a lightning-like light, her gaze fixed intently on Han Yi.

All of a sudden.

Han Yi felt goosebumps rise all over his body, as if he had been electrocuted, and his skin broke out in layers of tiny goosebumps.

He was taken aback and quickly activated his Formless Body, spiritual seed bloodline, and physical body, ready to unleash his power at any moment.

A woman like Yan Xuanji, a successful cultivator from a martial arts holy land, even if she hasn't broken through to the Venerable realm yet, definitely possesses many powerful trump cards and trump cards.

And such people... there are three of them acting together at the same time.

Han Yi had no choice but to be on high alert and ready to use all his strength at any time.

"Hehe..." Seeing Han Yi's nervous expression, Yan Xuanji seemed somewhat smug. "Han Yi, when you were young... you also entered a sect, attempting to join the Yuanmiao Sect. If you had stayed then, you would have joined my Sword Talisman Academy... This shows... there should have been a karmic connection between us..."

She looked at Han Yi with great interest: "For the sake of this cause and effect, our fate... will be preserved for now. If you agree, the conditions I promised you will remain unchanged, and I will give you a chance... Otherwise... you should know the consequences of offending my Yuanmiao Sect."
