Chapter 327: The Xu Family and the Great Qian

As the clan head, Xu Hongde could see the essence of the matter more clearly.

Shen Yi is too weak; therefore, the other party's promise holds no value.

If he were too powerful, there would be no need for him to make any promises to the Xu family.

The Great Qian is currently in this state.

It is precisely the time for the Xu family to make a choice.

Xu Hongde glanced sideways at the shriveled corpse of the fox demon in the distance and gradually made up his mind.

"Yan Shidi Shen, are you alright?"

Zhu Jue floated out from the Golden Body Dharma Image, transforming it into a Golden Pearl.

Although he was a Wu Xian at the Extreme Realm and had even vaguely touched upon the true meaning of the Dharma Image, controlling the Golden Body remains of a senior for such a long time was still a tremendous drain on him.

In contrast, Yan Shidi Shen not only condensed a Golden Body Dharma Image a step ahead of him, but also took the time to practice Slain Hunyuan and Body Tempering, and casually slaughtered a mid-stage Soul Transformation fox demon.

It truly makes one ashamed to cover one's face.

After seeing Shen Yi nod, everyone finally put their minds at ease.

Wu Dao'an stared blankly in the direction where True Person Qingfeng had departed, his thin Yin Spirit swaying slightly in the air.

Only when he noticed everyone observing his strangeness did he quietly withdraw his gaze.

He had once believed that as long as he and his people were sufficiently restrained, there would eventually be a chance to rise again.

For this, they could disregard temporary setbacks, placing everything above the greater situation.

It was only when True Person Qingfeng casually waved his sleeve just now, blocking everyone, that Wu Dao'an suddenly sobered up, realizing that he and his people had long lost the qualification to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Immortal Sects.

Before that young man in the Daoist robe, he and his people were no different from the common people, all like straw and weeds.

They did not even have the qualification to choose to support Yan Shidi Shen.

How utterly tragic.

Just then, a clear voice suddenly sounded in Wu Dao'an's ear: "Everything will get better."

He looked up in a daze and saw Shen Yi adjusting his sleeves, his composed appearance not at all like someone who had just fought a great battle.

The green robe on the other party fluttered slightly, entering the old man Wu's line of sight.

"Yes..."

A surge of excitement welled up from the bottom of Wu Dao'an's heart.

There is still a Yan Shidi Shen among the Great Qian's Temple Priests; compared to people like True Person Qingfeng, what could he possibly lose?

"Thank you, Shen Qianbei!"

Several Great Qian Grandmasters finally had the chance to speak, and all clasped their fists to bow.

"It is still Shen Qianbei." Wu Dao'an glared at the few of them in annoyance; these brainless, coarse warriors, aside from the Great Qian's own powerful ones, who else would be willing to protect their lives and grant them Age Fruits?

Chen Zhong somewhat embarrassedly corrected himself: "Lord Shen."

Actually, this matter could not be blamed on them; when they returned last time, there were only a few Grandmasters in the Great Qian.

Who could have thought that in such a short time, a prodigy would appear in the world, leaping to become the one who turns the tide.

"It's all the same."

Shen Yi waved his hand and turned to look at Xu Hongde and the others.

Noticing this scene.

Under Zhu Jue's lead, the Great Qian people all clasped their hands with solemn expressions.

Whoever the visitor is, as long as they are Yan Shidi Shen's friend, they deserve to be treated with the highest courtesy.

"Let me introduce you; this is the clan head of the Xu family." Shen Yi raised his palm slightly.

Before his words had finished, the smiles that had just appeared on everyone's faces instantly froze.

The Xu... Xu family?

It shouldn't be the one they are imagining, right?

Zhu Jue secretly glanced at the array disk in Xu Hongde's hand, his heart giving a thud: "..."

Does Yan Shidi Shen not know the grudge between the Xu family and the Xuan Guang Cave? In name, the Great Qian still has an alliance with the Xuan Guang Cave.

According to the rules, even if they do not capture these few and send them to the Xuan Guang Cave, they absolutely cannot befriend them.

Otherwise, it would give the Xuan Guang Cave an excuse to completely turn hostile.

"Hongde pays his respects to the Great Qian's senior predecessors."

Xu Hongde returned the gesture and also noticed the change in the atmosphere.

But he did not mind.

After experiencing tonight's events, even if the Xu family defects, they will defect to Shen Yi as a person, not to the Great Qian Wu Temple.

"I intend to bring the entire Xu clan to the Great Qian."

Shen Yi looked at Chen Zhong: "The two seniors can discuss how to use the Xu family's arrays to strengthen the defenses of the Nine Provinces."

"I dare not; just call me Chen Zhong."

Chen Zhong waved his hands repeatedly; compared to the others, he did not feel at all that this matter was inappropriate.

What's wrong with the Xu family? The reason they offended the Xuan Guang Cave was nothing more than using an array to trap and kill a mid-stage Soul Transformation True Person.

Lord Shen personally beheaded Zhang Mingyang and had long since made the Xuan Guang Cave an irreconcilable enemy; why worry about such a small matter?

Seeing that Shen Yi had already made his decision.

Zhu Jue did not speak out in opposition again.

He knew well who held the lifeline of the Great Qian now; just like when slaying the Qingqiu fox demon earlier, as long as Yan Shidi Shen spoke, the rest only needed to obey.

"Wu Temple's Zhu Jue."

The two unfamiliar sides, both for the sake of Shen Yi, began to exchange polite greetings.

"You all talk first; I have a few matters to attend to."

Seeing this, Shen Yi nodded slightly and bid farewell to the crowd.

Immediately, his figure shot into the air, carrying the corpses of the two Soul Transformation fox demons as he left the Qi Sect.

Although even if he did something now, it was highly likely no one would question him anymore.

But it would still damage his upright image.

He did not want to strike next time and hear his own people shouting below, "This demon is Lord Shen."

"..."

Just having come out of the Xu family, he was worrying that the demons' lifespans were insufficient.

Who would have thought some would voluntarily offer themselves at the door.

Shen Yi had not encountered such good fortune in a long time; looking at the long string of notifications on the panel, his emotions grew somewhat excited.

【Remaining Demon Lifespan: 139,000 years. Can be condensed.】

Excluding the 10,000 years he originally had left, the rest was thanks to Qingqiu.

The largest portion came from that group of Hunyuan Realm fox demons.

Counting the one from Outside Qingzhou, there were twelve in total, ranging from Initial Realm to Upper Realm, providing a full 58,000 years; this quality was even not inferior to the Demon Kings of the Thousand Demon Cave.

This was a very exaggerated thing.

It indicated that apart from a relative scarcity of strong ones, their potential was already comparable to top-tier powers.

The younger generation all possessed excellent talents.

No wonder they wanted to shed their neutral identity this time and come out to seek refuge with Mount Wutong; they likely lacked foundation and wanted to secure more resources to support their clan.

The two Ancestral Masters at the early stage of Soul Transformation were merely at an ordinary level.

Combined, they totaled only 43,000 years.

As for Shenxu Laozu, he was even stingy; as a proper mid-stage Soul Transformation demon, with 18,000 years of remaining lifespan, he possessed only half of what the Green Feather Demon Emperor had.

Of course, compared to this Shenxu Laozu's lifespan, his knowledge was what Shen Yi valued most.

With the other party's help, his cultivation path would be much smoother.

"Reshaping the Demon Soul."

Shen Yi found a secluded place and descended.

Without hesitation, he spent 10,000 years of demon lifespan to exchange for a Demon Origin.

Watching the soul of the cane-supporting old man slowly emerge before him.

Shen Yi did not attend to it for the moment, but instead focused his mind on the demon corpses.

He took out all the corpses and placed them on the ground.

He fully unleashed the grown Blood Transformation Technique.

He opened his mouth slightly, and before his eyes, a solid river of demonic blood gathered.
