Now the Bodhi Sect has gone too far—Great Freedom Bodhisattva, old as he is, has lost all dignity. This matter requires our seniors to negotiate, yet the sacred grounds our fellow disciples fought so hard to reclaim cannot be surrendered without a fight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lingxu Zi’s expression darkened instantly; he leaned forward slightly, a shadow of malice flashing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current situation in the Northern Continent is highly favorable to the Lingxu Cave lineage—he sought no further advancement, fearing resentment from fellow disciples and dreading the risk of losing control once Shen Yi grew too powerful… but he would never allow anyone to shatter this perfect situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingguang Zi, however, wore a faint, knowing smile and said coolly: “Continue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In my view, aside from our seniors demanding justice from Mount Sumeru, we juniors must not slacken—we must immediately dispatch a distinguished disciple, one of profound cultivation and ample experience dealing with the Bodhi Sect, to uphold the banner of our Three Immortal Sect and prevent our brethren fighting in other continents from losing heart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qixian lifted his head, his face filled with righteous grief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingguang Zi, finally seeing his chance to retaliate against the other two lineages, seized it at once: “Do you have someone in mind?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Qixian need not have spoken—upon hearing these criteria, the eyes of countless disciples instantly gleamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Northern Continent, who could surpass that Grand Void Senior Brother in both reputation and strength? Moreover, he hails from the Southern Continent and has trained beneath the very gaze of Southern Sumeru—he must understand those monks better than anyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he leads our disciples into battle, he will surely crush the arrogance of the Eastern Continent’s bald monks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I believe…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally reaching this point, Qixian grew excited; he scanned the hall, ready to utter that name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Chiyun Zi, who had been feigning sleep with closed eyes since the beginning, slowly opened his eyes. He gazed down calmly, fixing his gaze on the incessant figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qixian felt a chilling cold sweep over him, as if plunged into an ice pit; even with his cultivation reaching the pinnacle of ninety-nine transformations, he trembled violently, his speech growing slurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He widened his eyes—he had just found himself in mortal peril, right here in this immortal hall, before all eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiyun Zi drew a deep breath. When several disciples died at the hands of the Buddhist sect, Chu Xi’s disciple had gone to the Eastern Continent without hesitation—but how had this sect treated Chiyun Cave?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the sake of so-called greater interests, he had swallowed his bitterness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Chiyun Cave was nearly extinct; the Bodhi Sect had trampled over the heads of its disciples—and still, these people were thinking only of how to exploit this moment to turn on each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using his disciple’s life as a blade to strike at others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How absurd!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiyun Zi’s eyes were like still wells, his voice utterly flat: “Do you think I won’t kill you just because you serve the Emperor?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the words had fully left his lips, the entire hall was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only the disciples, but even the Golden Immortals wore complex expressions—they knew Chiyun Zi was angry, but had never imagined it had reached this point: he openly declared his intent to kill a sect disciple, showing no regard for the Emperor’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the most terrifying part was that this was no empty threat—it was fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man had reached the Second Rank. If he truly flew into a rage, killing an attendant of the Emperor’s Court was nothing; even if he cursed the Emperor to his face, the worst that could happen was his suppression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a solitary, primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal, time held no meaning—being suppressed for longer meant nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I…” Qixian Shangren’s sweat drenched his entire body; he stumbled backward two steps, desperate to escape the gaze descending from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought Chiyun Zi’s previous aid was merely to spite Qingguang Immortal, not because of Grand Void True Lord himself—but now, it seemed he had misjudged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This old devil, having lost his own disciples, now meddles in the affairs of juniors—he deserves to die childless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even if his heart burned with rage, facing the unmasked killing intent of a Golden Immortal, Qixian Shangren could only bow low in kowtow, daring not to utter another word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other Golden Immortals exchanged glances. Aside from Lingxu Zi, who exhaled in relief, Qingguang Zi snorted coldly and chose not to further provoke Chiyun Zi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he did not join the great calamity, he must preserve his image before the Sect Master—how could he emulate this old madman and rant before the entire sect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Chiyun Zi slowly rose to his feet and turned to his fellow disciples: “I came here instead of marching straight to the Eastern Continent only to hear your thoughts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If this truly troubles you, then let this meeting end here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he flicked his sleeve, preparing to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the calmer Chiyun Zi appeared, the more intense the unease in others’ hearts became; they hurriedly spoke up: “Younger brother, how can you say such things? The death of Chu Xi demands an explanation from Mount Sumeru.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t need an explanation—I demand their lives.” Chiyun Zi glanced over, his voice cool: “Who will go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under that gaze, not even the juniors dared speak—nor did the fellow Golden Immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were, of course, furious—but ultimately, they only wanted the Bodhi Sect to offer an explanation. Chiyun Zi’s stance, however, clearly aimed to destroy the great calamity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a faint footstep echoed from the silent hall outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the steps drew nearer, a clear voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I volunteer to go to the Eastern Continent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A simple sentence plunged the hall into deathly silence once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stared in astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden hairpin, black robe—the handsome Daoist Lord stepped calmly into the hall, halted, and stood still. At that instant, every expression turned strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shan slightly opened his mouth—he knew Chiyun Uncle had just acted to rescue one man from fire and water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now, that very man had quietly stepped back into the fire and water, without the slightest hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qixian, kneeling on the ground, could not help but turn to look, his face blank with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From any perspective, Shen Yi had no reason to go to the Eastern Continent—yet here he stood, forcing Qixian to wonder: could this bitter, sharp-tongued man simply be mentally ill?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lingxu Zi had never anticipated this twist—he immediately rose, ready to rebuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who gave this brat permission to act on his own?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That five-fief territory was the future of Lingxu Cave’s incense offerings—how dare he surrender it without consulting me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he perished, where would Lingxu Cave find another disciple to undergo tribulation? How could they ever find such a perfect opportunity again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could speak, Chiyun Zi waved his hand to cut him off, then fell silent, fixing his gaze on Shen Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two locked eyes across the space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long silence, Chiyun Zi spoke succinctly: “Why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The question sounded odd—the Bodhi Sect had grown so arrogant; why would a disciple’s willingness to reclaim honor need justification?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now even ordinary disciples had begun to realize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiyun Uncle’s true question was: why would this Lingxu Cave disciple sacrifice everything he had painstakingly built for the sake of Chiyun Cave?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment this question fell, Shen Xu, the Elder of the Ten Thousand Demons Hall, rolled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, the next moment, Shen Yi lifted his gaze slightly and replied in an equally calm voice: “The destruction of my sect, the murder of my master—I have never forgotten.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples instinctively turned to look at the upper reaches—toward Senior Lingxu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a cultivator who had switched sects mid-path, mentioning one’s former master was a grave taboo—especially when that origin was so base. Had Grand Void Senior Brother not been so renowned, others would still taunt him as a worm-demon disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now, before the entire sect, he had spoken of it plainly, indifferent to offending Senior Lingxu or inviting ridicule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Hao Ming True Person, who had once held a grudge against Shen Yi, could not smile now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To take a master is to take a father—the murder of a father must be avenged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a simple truth—how many can uphold it to the end?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he had long left his original sect, secured his footing in the Northern Continent, and gained what he once could never have touched—yet still, he abandoned it all…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Permitted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very top of the clouds, Xuanwei Zi suddenly nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was Li Shan’s master, elder to all the Golden Immortals, one who had sworn celestial oaths—his own standing was solid, his disciple accomplished, and he was likely to become one of the Twelve Golden Immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these circumstances, he should have avoided suspicion, lest he drag his own disciple into the fray—but this Golden Immortal had to speak up, for Grand Void’s bold stand might be the only way to quell Chiyun Zi’s rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other Golden Immortals all relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Chiyun Zi suddenly smiled, turning back to his fellow disciples: “How wonderful—this junior has once again solved your troubles for you. Whenever something goes wrong, you just dump it on him, sparing yourselves while he bears all the losses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But is this fair to him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiyun Zi’s voice rose sharply: “Why must it always be those of us with fiery tempers who suffer?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the Golden Immortals’ expressions stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuanwei Zi paused, then spoke again: “Li Shan will go too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Disciple obeys.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Li Shan True Person felt reluctant to abandon his hard-won holdings, he could not defy his master’s command—he stepped forward decisively and accepted the decree with a bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Qixian, still kneeling, froze in shock, then burst into ecstatic joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never expected such a twist—though he lost face, he had just rid himself of two formidable rivals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could hide his smile, the entire assembly of Golden Immortals, though silent, turned their gazes upon him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Xuanwei, this won’t do!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lingxu Zi seized the opening and finally spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuanwei Zi rubbed his temples, weary. The problem was that no arrangement would satisfy everyone—even sending out his own disciple wouldn’t silence the murmurs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, he sighed deeply: “All sect disciples shall depart the Northern Continent. Until your return, all sacred grounds shall remain unchanged.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lingxu Zi finally sat back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least the sacred grounds were preserved—though as for who would guard them… he’d deal with that one properly upon return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples did not hesitate—they shouted in unison: “Disciples obey!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Northern Continent’s situation could no longer shift—now with several senior disciples leading and elders balancing the Great Freedom Bodhisattvas, it was the perfect chance to seek fortune in the other continents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let those monks know that the Three Immortals Sect is not made of mud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the booming voice, nearly all disciples turned their gazes toward the dark-robed figure at the front; without needing elders to instruct them, they knew who should lead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Xian slowly lifted his head; this dramatic turn of events had left him struggling to process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he could not accept was that the opportunity he had so eagerly anticipated had now become a stepping stone for that brat to reach the summit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though no one spoke outright, the position of First Disciple of the Three Immortals Sect now clearly had an acknowledged holder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Li Shan bowed respectfully to Shen Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This worthless piece of trash—I’m ashamed to share a name with him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Within half a month, you must all gather in Dongzhou.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“On this journey, show no restraint—everything will be decided by us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xuanwei Zi uttered the words “decided by us,” he subtly emphasized them; clearly, the repeated audacity of the Bodhi Sect had stirred displeasure among these Golden Immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Disperse,” he waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Disciples obey.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yi bowed low, then turned and walked slowly out of the Heavenly Hall, under the watchful eyes of all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weeks of confusion had finally found direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuanwei Zi’s furious command to show no restraint had fully freed his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since setting foot on Shenzhou, Shen Yi had never encountered such a favorable opportunity as being permitted to slaughter disciples of great sects at will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing left to consider now is…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How to safely enter Dongzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yi had not forgotten: the owner of the staff in his ring was most likely still waiting outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If fortune favored him, avoiding that Great Freedom Pure World Bodhisattva would be best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he could not avoid him…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Shen Yi took a deep breath; since reaching the Second Rank, he had never had the chance to deploy these two Dharma Bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without the power of immortality, this tribulation must still be crossed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both are of the Great Freedom Realm—why not ask that Pure World Bodhisattva whether he fears me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2282,"2026-06-20T15:00:39.689Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e41f90394468de7261a2b964cdddda141fc994a0b93c7da0c09b13cff4af127d","immortality-begins-with-slaying-demons-chapter-823","immortality-begins-with-slaying-demons-chapter-821",840,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortality-begins-with-slaying-demons-cover.jpg"]
