CHAPTER 738: 613 MASTER SAVE MY LIFE

Shi Feiyang didn’t care about the life or death of the Yi Family, but he had to maintain the proper attitude and take the appropriate actions.

After all, their attendance at this assembly of immortals was meant to show their support for him, and as the organizer, he could not simply ignore any mishaps that occurred.

Unfortunately, in his efforts to save the Yi brothers, he even lost the Heavenly Treasure Mirror to Evil Corpse Gu Chen. Everyone knew the value of the Heavenly Treasure Mirror; the sacrifice was indeed substantial.

Everyone also knew about his past conflicts with the Yi Family. Considering he went to such lengths, no one could blame him; in fact, many, including the Xiankong Ancestor and Shaoyang God Monarch, felt pity for him.

What were the Yi brothers to deserve the Heavenly Treasure Mirror?

Moreover, many people thought Shi Feiyang was virtuous and esteemed life over treasure. They admired him more and felt that following such a leader would ensure a more secure future.

The reason Shi Feiyang had to deal with Jiu Panpo was mainly because he had traded the refining method of the Mystical Sect’s Great Technique with Tie Shu for the refining method of the Nine Child Mother Sky Demon in the past.

Jiu Panpo managed to refine the Secret Demon Divine Shuttle. If she were to cause a disaster with it, he would be partly responsible, thus he had to prevent her from using it in a desperate situation.

In this feud between Jiu Panpo and Yi Jing, the Emei Sect had acted somewhat unethically.

When Jiu Panpo destroyed Yi Jing’s physical body and was about to use the Nine Ghosts Devouring Souls technique to let the Nine Child Mother Sky Demon rip apart Yi Jing’s Primordial Spirit, Qi Shuming intervened, persuading Jiu Panpo to abandon her evil ways and turn to the righteous path, even using her future calamities to persuade her.

Jiu Panpo’s grandmaster was the Old Demon of Iron City Mountain, and the Red Flower Princess was her martial aunt. She had several altercations with Deng Yin back then and maintained a good relationship for a while. Jiu Panpo acknowledged Master Changmei as a senior.

Because of this relationship, Jiu Panpo released Yi Jing.

As soon as Yi Jing returned, he bitterly practiced with his Magical Treasure, harboring revenge. Just when Jiu Panpo faced her Heavenly Tribulation, Yi Jing seized the opportunity to strike. Emei disciples swarmed in, and Jiu Panpo was almost completely destroyed, her remaining soul captured by an enemy, making for a dire end.

Shi Feiyang had no intention of resolving the ongoing feud, instead he let them battle it out.

He simply sent Shi Sheng to find Half-side Zen Master to deliver a message.

Half-side Zen Master was still living in seclusion in the mountains with the Wudang Seven Sisters. Her Daoist power was comparable to Mr. Zhong and the Elder of Heavenly Pond and she was every bit the equal of the former Zen Master Zhi Fei.

However, her temperament was peculiar, and she did not get along well with her peers. Her soul was somewhat lacking, preventing her from purifying her "Moon" completely. Anxious about the well-being of her seven female disciples after her departure, fearing they might face bullying or fail to transcend their upcoming calamities, she stayed behind, planning for all eight of them to Ascend together once her disciples also achieved Perfection.

Aware of the mounting tribulations affecting heaven, earth, and man, she grew more cautious, forbidding her disciples from leaving, allowing them only to cultivate quietly within her modest thatched hut.

When Shi Sheng visited, Half-side Zen Master was nervous, knowing this was a twist of fate pulling her back into the mundane world, which she couldn’t avoid since avoiding was impossible. Jin Shu and Yin Shu indeed were her disciples in a past life and had promised to reunite in another life. There was a cause, and thus there was an effect. If she ignored this and failed to act, reaching her Dao would be impossible. If her enemies captured the souls of both girls and turned them into Demon Gods to use against her, she would face a great likelihood of falling into calamity.

Shi Feiyang sent Shi Sheng not to harm her but to give her the opportunity to take back the two girls and resolve a karmic tie, which presented the perfect opportunity.

Nevertheless, Half-side Zen Master was still upset. She didn’t like others dictating her actions!

She did not meet with Shi Sheng, instead having her disciple Zhang Jingwen deal with him.

Shi Sheng was slightly offended by Half-side Zen Master’s rudeness, but being already a Yang God with the level of a Heavenly Immortal, he saw her concerns and couldn’t help but chuckle. He said to Zhang Jinwen, "I am here on my master’s orders to deliver a message. It would have been proper to meet Half-side Master personally, but since she refuses, let it be. However, I must make my message clear. It is in everyone’s best interest that Master retrieves Jin Shu and Yin Shu now. Otherwise, they are bound to face tribulations and be captured and demonized. At that point, the Master might lose sleep over it."

After concluding, he and Zhang Jinwen bade each other farewell and he turned to leave.

Zhang Jinwen, feeling apologetic, escorted Shi Sheng to the threshold of the thatched hut.

Shi Sheng took to the skies, not heading straight back to the South Sea but instead making a detour to Yunnan.

Shi Feiyang had mentioned Qin Yu to him. Qin Yu, proud and always mindful of his master’s grace, had not joined Shi Feiyang but continued to uphold Li Jingxu’s traditions, aiming to Prove his Dao his own way.

While it wasn’t bad, he still had to undergo another tribulation, during which he would face significant hardship.

Shi Sheng had a complicated karmic entanglement with Li Jingxu, and strictly speaking, he should address Qin Yu as his grandmaster’s uncle.

However, his maternal grandfather Lu Min was only an uninitiated disciple of Li Jingxu, not even registered, so they weren’t particularly close. Later, when Shi Feiyang passed the Heavenly Heart Double Rings to Shi Sheng, Li Jingxu personally invited him to stay for a few days to help his family survive their tribulation, which improved their relationship.

Li Jingxu did not let him address himself as Great Ancestor, but instead asked him to call him Uncle Master.

At that time, their relationship was not bad, and Shi Sheng, considering that his family’s ties to immortality all came from Li Jingxu, and his mother could even ascend to the Spiritual Space Immortal Realm and achieve spiritual Perfection, wanted to repay the kindness and repay the favor on behalf of his mother by giving Qin Yu a helping hand in his time of peril.

He had been preoccupied with this matter, and couldn’t arrive too early; Qin Yu had left precisely because he did not want to rely too heavily on Shi Feiyang’s power, and as Shi Feiyang’s disciple, if he rushed to help, it could seem ostentatious and might not be well received, and could even lead to resentments.

Calculating the time, since Qin Yu’s reincarnation, he had now grown into a teenager, and it was time for him to face the biggest tribulation of his life, Shi Sheng then changed course in the air and flew towards the Yun Gui Plateau.

Just reaching Min Mountain, he suddenly heard a disturbance below.

Standing in midair above Min Mountain, he looked down, his gaze penetrating the rocks, and saw within the belly of the mountain several caves where a group of demon followers from the Demon Path—both men and women, at least twenty or thirty people—had captured many ordinary young men and women with little or no mana, and were assaulting them for pleasure.

The ordinary people, trapped by Evil Skills, were weak and unable to resist; every one of them was in extreme grief, some praying to the heavenly gods and deities, and others scolding and cursing with a resentment that reached the skies.

Encountering such a situation, how could Shi Sheng stand idly by?

Directly from the sky, he used the left hand to form a spell and the right hand to point downward, employing the Mystical Sect’s Great Technique to split open the mountain.

The mountain split into two halves, revealing the caves below.

Those demon humans were indulging in pleasures, drinking and feasting, some even rewarding each other, men and women all mixed together.

They were enjoying themselves, removing their clothes, when suddenly the sky above their heads brightened, they looked up and realized that the top of the cave was gone...

Most had no idea what was happening, but a few more knowledgeable ones recognized the spell of the Mysterious Sect and were immediately shocked: anyone with such great mana must be at least an Earth Immortal!

Then, they saw a little boy dressed in white garments with shorts standing in the sky, adorable and handsomely delicate, his hair tied back with a white jade ring, adding an air of carefree ease.

Shi Sheng did not bother with pleasantries, stretching his hand into the void, he drew several demon humans who were pouncing on the young men and women directly into the air.

Those few, clothes in disarray, still unclear what was happening, suddenly felt lighter as they were lifted through the air from the cave’s opening to the mountain top, directly seeing the blue sky and white clouds.

"Demons harming people shall be slain by all under heaven!" Shi Sheng casually swiped, releasing the Spiritual Stone Sword Qi he had refined.

A few "hiss" sounds were heard, and their heads detached from their bodies, blood spraying wildly...

Afterward, Shi Sheng rubbed his hands together, allowing the heads and bodies to roll down the hill as he extracted their Primordial Spirit Souls; seeing that their demonization was not deep, he casually dispatched them to be reincarnated. For the two who had cultivated their Lifebound Demons, he sealed them in a Spirit Stone Jade Talisman for future handling.

He proceeded through these steps with ease and without strain.

Below, people finally screamed out, "He... he killed Fourth Senior Brother and Sixth Senior Sister, and..."

Shi Sheng didn’t let them finish their words and reached out to grab again.

"You audacious demon child!" a robust man bellowed, tossing a red treasure umbrella into the air. Demon Light and blood energy surged from the umbrella, forming a cloud of light that shielded everyone, "Who are you, young demon? How dare you meddle in our affairs? Do you know who our master is?"

Shi Sheng, reaching through the void, caused the red cloud to tremble, the treasure umbrella to sway, and the man released his Lifebound Demon while the others hurriedly set their Divine Demons free.

In total, more than twenty Divine Demons clutched onto the umbrella, struggling against Shi Sheng.

Even Shi Sheng could not succeed in snatching that demon umbrella with such formidable Divine Demons below, so he then released six strikes of Spiritual Stone Sword Qi.

"Hiss" sounds rang out, and the sword qi carved six cracks through the bloody demon cloud, the umbrella’s surface also torn, instantly falling apart. Shi Sheng then pointed, releasing the Five Elements Spiritual Flames.

The flames, a combination of Gold Fire, Wood Fire, Water Fire, Fire, and Earth Fire, with Earth positioned centrally among the Five Elements Directions, were fused with Lifebound Stone Vein Spirit Qi, melding Essence Energy and Divine Soul, shaping the three flowers on top... This path of immortal cultivation was established under Shi Feiyang’s guidance; now, he had reached mastery in his training.

The Five-Colored Flames leapt and burned between the demon umbrella and the people, searing the bloody demon cloud with hissing noises, scorching the Divine Demons to flee in terror. The group screamed in panic, running everywhere for their lives.

The fire, following Shi Sheng’s will, spread throughout the entire cave, only burning those from the Demon Path; most were instantly reduced to ashes, some released Demon Path Flying Forks and Magical Treasures which melted into liquid or burned to slag upon release, completely destroyed, yet not a single hair on any of the captivated young men and women was singed.

Only two among the demon people, merged with their formidable Divine Demons as Human-Demon Union, transformed into Demon Light and darted away, loudly crying out, "Master, save us!"
