Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 332 - 330: Hearing of Mysterious Light Cave Again_1

Chapter 332 -330: Hearing of Mysterious Light Cave Again_1

“`

Demon-suppressing City.

Those who dared to run tea houses and taverns in such a place ranked strength as secondary, the primary requirement was the ability to be astute in discerning words and expressions.

At the slightest sense of something being amiss, they would flee without the slightest hesitation.

No one would risk their life to earn that bit of alcohol money.

Collecting information from the conversations of passing customers was the real money-making business.

...

Today, the tea house’s owner greeted a wealthy guest.

The guest was not picky at all, rejecting no rumors or hearsay. Whether it was about the opening of the Thousand Demon Cave or some power that had offended the Mysterious Light Cave, as long as it was said, it could be exchanged for a bottle of precious pills.

“Senior, do you know about True Person Ziyen?”

The tea house’s owner, emboldened by his earnings, gradually became more reckless, “He’s the one who slaughtered the Zheng Family, and later appeared outside the Thousand Demon Cave. The Mysterious Light Cave sent people to investigate, and the investigation landed on Senior Tang Yuan.”

“Guess what happened?”

“What?”

Shen Yi picked up his teacup, taking out another bottle of Precious Medicines.

He wasn’t so rich that he had nowhere else to spend his wealth.

Only by listening to everything could he avoid exposing what he truly wanted to know.

If this owner could sell others’ information to him, he could just as well sell his own information to others.

“There’s no follow-up.”

Fearing that the wealthy guest might think he was playing with him, the tea house’s owner hastily added, “Considering the temperament of the Mysterious Light Cave, even if it really was related to Wutong Mountain, as long as they were in the right, they would dare to inquire. Especially since Senior Tang is merely a nominal disciple… Believe me, there’s definitely something fishy going on here.”

“…”

Shen Yi brought his fingers together, calmly pushing the precious pill across.

This was the useful information.

At least he now knew about the temporary progress of the Mysterious Light Cave.

He currently had the lives of three people from the Mysterious Light Cave on his hands, and if he remembered correctly, the opposing side had just over seventy disciples in total.

If the information were really exposed,

Such a major event would be enough to provoke those true powerhouses into action.

The Mysterious Light Cave was pressing down on Great Qian while growing in the shadows, hoping to one day replace Wutong Mountain. Their strength must be formidable.

It was highly probable that a late-stage Transcendent Spirit cultivator was in residence.

Shen Yi hadn’t let his considerable increase in power cloud his judgment.

He now wielded the Youwei Spear, his cultivation had reached the early stages of the Transcendent Spirit, and his Body Refining was comparable to twice that of the Blood Transforming Demon Emperor from the thirty-eighth cave.

His Golden Body Dharma Identity had also reached a height of six zhang and seven.

In theory, he might stand a chance against a late-stage Transcendent Spirit cultivator.

But how could those who became top-notch experts not have special means at their disposal?

Those people had plundered so many cultivator’s relics. Could their foundations really be inferior to his own?

If he truly harbored such a thought, Shen Yi felt it wouldn’t be long before Great Qian received news of his death.

Currently, among the other three paramount forces,

Shen Yi, apart from having no ties with Wutong Mountain, had almost made mortal enemies of both Mysterious Light Cave and Thousand Demon Cave.

He had encountered similar situations before, such as offending the Yangchun River Aquatic Race during his Jade Liquid Boundary period.

But previously, he could rely on the Demon-suppression Bureau and wave that connection like a flag of influence. Now that he was without an ally to rely upon, he needed to be even more cautious.

A slight mistake could lead to not just the demise of his path and body, but also drag the common people of the Nine Provinces of the Great Qian and the Xu Family to their graves with him.

With this thought, Shen Yi looked back at the tea house’s owner.

“Senior, I have one last piece of information, which is about the struggle between Mysterious Light Cave and the Thousand Demon Cave.”

The owner kept the bottle of precious pills, “However, this can only be exchanged with information. I wonder if you can afford the price.”

“`

He knew exactly why this group of people came to Demon-suppressing City, and they would definitely not give up on matters related to the ancient tombs.

Cultivators who were so generous in their spending must surely have exceptional experiences as well.

Shen Yi pondered for an instant and spoke indifferently, “Xuanjian True Person had a renowned disciple, who was killed by the Mysterious Light Cave and had the blame put on the Blood Transforming Demon Emperor.”

Before his voice faded, the shopkeeper’s eyes went wide as saucers.

He could hardly believe his own ears.

Nie Jun’s vicious disciple, there were actually people in the world daring to move against him?

He suddenly remembered the rumors about Xuanjian True Person frantically pursuing the Blood Transforming Demon Emperor…

“Enough! Don’t say any more,”

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

The tea house shopkeeper’s heart raced, and he hastened to wave his hands in a plea, “I haven’t heard anything! The information I mentioned earlier came from the group from the Mysterious Light Cave who came to investigate. They learned of a disturbance in a certain ancient tomb from a group of Loose Cultivators and have already entered the Thousand Demon Cave, heading northwards.”

“If you have the courage to snatch a share from under their noses, it’s still not too late.”

With that, he pointed to a corner, “The person who just came in is a Loose Cultivator’s companion, who was late due to some other affair. He’s hesitating over there whether to follow them in or not. If you can offer a good price… he doesn’t know that the ones taking away his companion are seniors from Mysterious Light Cave. He’s too scared to go in alone and wants my help to sell the news. If you’re willing to spare a few more bottles of precious pills, getting him to guide you would be no problem.”

Shen Yi turned his gaze towards the corner.

It just so happened that the man with the black mole was also looking this way.

Their eyes met.

Ma Guangshan seemed to realize something and hurriedly stood up from where he just sat down, “I’ve seen Senior Shen.”

Oh, these two are acquainted.

Hearing this, the tea house shopkeeper knew to take his leave gracefully, then scurried upstairs in a fluster.

The news he had just heard seemed enough to be considered a deadly disaster.

Fortunately, he had controlled his greed and didn’t continue to inquire… If there were conclusive evidence, it was very likely his head wouldn’t be spared, but as a rumor, there might still be an opportunity to profit from it.

“…”

Shen Yi nodded to signal the man with the mole to come over.

This man was the same Loose Cultivator who had previously sought him out at the Eight Directions Food Pavilion to exchange for the True Sun Qilin Stone.

Ma Guangshan came over dejectedly and sat down, explaining in a low voice, “I’ve had a streak of bad luck recently, and it was only with your assistance that I managed to just barely pay back what I owed my friend. The extra portion they aren’t willing to give me anymore; they simply brought me along to explore the newly discovered ancient tomb.”

“I thought I was so unlucky that I underwent a cleansing and fasting ritual at home before departing, and wouldn’t you know, in just those few days, I was left behind again…”

“Of course, if Senior Shen is interested, I wouldn’t dream of taking a single penny.”

He was indeed lured by petty profits, but last time at the Eight Directions Food Pavilion, only Senior Shen was willing to give him a helping hand. Even though he knew the value of the True Sun Qilin Stone wasn’t high, he still left him with a Vestment robe.

So as not to lose face in front of so many peers.

“Tsk.”

Shen Yi raised an eyebrow while looking at Ma Guangshan.

Unlucky?

If he remembered correctly, during the last expedition to the ancient tomb, the other party was the only Loose Cultivator who didn’t encounter him and still managed to come out alive.

And now, he seemed to have dodged disaster once again.

It had to be said that he still had some fortune on him.

“Keep it well, lead the way.”

Shen Yi didn’t waste words, taking out a few more bottles of precious pills from the Storage Treasure.

A’Qing had already neatly categorized all the items.

These elixirs, which aid in the cultivation and replenishment for those in the Primordial Realm, all came from the Mysterious Light Cave, and were indeed treasures among treasures.

It was a pity that no matter how good the pills were, they were not as convenient as directly consuming a Demon Core.

Moreover, he had now broken through to Transcendent Spirit.

Useless to him, they were specifically to be used like currency. Once they were used up, he could just retrieve more, since the Mysterious Light Cave had plenty of disciples.
