Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 429 - 419: Asking the Gentleman into the Jar

"What on earth are you planning to do?"

Ye Wenxuan slowly glided across the sky, and as she neared the great hall deep in the Thousand Demon Cave, her heartbeat quickened.

Until she was able to sense the presence from inside the hall.

She suddenly gasped for air and abruptly came to a halt.

"Idiot!"

This was entirely different from what Ye Wenxuan had anticipated. How could she rashly meet with the old hound without any discussion or preparation at all?

What would she do if something went wrong?

She clenched her teeth tightly, yet she saw that Nie Jun continued to dart forward, indicating that Shen Yi was still approaching the grand hall.

"That is the disciple I have painstakingly nurtured!"

Ye Wenxuan abruptly clenched her fists; Nie Jun was her only hope of leaving the Nanyang Sect.

And now, Shen Yi was leading him step by step in front of the old hound.

She fell silent for a long time.

When Nie Jun's figure had completely disappeared from her sight, she stomped her foot in frustration and followed on the clouds.

The majestic and intact great hall gradually came into view.

Ye Wenxuan was taken aback.

Because she didn't see the scene of combat she had imagined.

Nie Jun was still hovering in the sky and seemed just as baffled as her, staring down below.

There, Shen Yi stood alone in front of the great hall, looking towards it.

The youth's expression was calm, and his dark hair slightly fluttered in the wind.

Despite the empty space in front of the hall, Ye Wenxuan could still detect the formidable aura within; the old hound was clearly inside.

"What is this?" She grew more astonished.

After a moment, Shen Yi actually sat down cross-legged, spread his palms with golden threads carrying the Black Sha at his fingertips, and began laying out an array right in front of Zhang Laifu.

"..."

Ye Wenxuan looked at the great hall, then back at Shen Yi, her gaze gradually becoming vacant.

A mere Deification Transcendent Realm Cultivator, striding arrogantly in front of the old hound, was like a lamb walking into a tiger's den.

But now, the fierce tiger inside the cave seemed unaware of what had happened, treating the fat meat delivered to its mouth as if it were nothing.

Her years of understanding suddenly began to crumble.

The calm scene before her eyes violently collided with the memory of Wutong Mountain being slaughtered in her mind.

In the end, it all turned into a breath of disbelief.

"Huh."

Shen Yi sat cross-legged, with eyes tranquil like an ancient well, and only the golden threads at his fingertips danced swiftly.

The intricate and precise Iron Sketch Silver Hook Great Formation was laid on the ground without error under his command.

With Shen Yi's current strength of his Divine Soul, he could lay out two patterns of the Reversal Void Formation, and for the final pattern, he intended to have Tong Xin'chuan complete it.

A move that seemed absurd in the eyes of others,

Was in fact the result of Shen Yi's deep contemplation.

The old hound, a Return to Void Realm Great Demon, had almost gathered all the treasures of the Nanyang Sect; its foundation was unimaginable to ordinary people.

Such a Great Demon, if it chose to come out, who could possibly contain it?

Therefore, Shen Yi suddenly thought of Chen Qiankun from a few years back.

The situation was similar then.

The old flood dragon in the Yangchun River could leave the great river at any time, and Mr. Chen couldn't manage Linjiang Prefecture alone.

Just like the old hound.

With Shen Yi's strength, it was impossible to keep watch over the old hound day and night. If the creature wished, it could easily slaughter the entirety of Great Qian by slipping out of Shen Yi's sight.

Back then, Shen Yi's decision was to use Mr. Chen as bait to lure out that flood dragon.

Even now, nothing had changed, except that Shen Yi had chosen to use himself as the bait.

The last time his identity as the Heavenly Phoenix was exposed, he had suffered a claw strike. Even in such a grievous condition, even if Shen Yi fled with all his might, the old hound, if it chose to come out, could easily slay him.

But the other party did not come out.

This time, Shen Yi initially intended to only bring a few people from Wutong Mountain to help identify the treasures, but in the end, he did not refuse the company of those from Great Qian and the Xu Family.

The reason for this was that he still wanted to test whether the old dog would leave the great hall out of provocation.

A confrontation was inevitable.

Therefore, rather than facing it on the opponent's turf, it was better to lure them out.

Shen Yi, now with his Heavenly Phoenix Undying True Body moderately developed, did not claim to defeat the old dog but was confident in keeping the foe at bay. With the people from Great Qian and others on the outside, there would be enough time to leave Thousand Demon Cave when necessary.

And at that moment, only a fool from Wutong Mountain would not go and place down the Dao Plate.

Shen Yi was very clear; he was the unexpected variable not in either party's plan.

However... even as he approached the front of the great hall, the old dog still made no move.

Shen Yi finally faced the reality that this dog was more tolerant than he had imagined, and the retaliation that would come once the foe deemed the timing right, was bound to be more ferocious than he could ever imagine.

Unless he could be like the Wutong Mountain Ancestor, regarding worldly matters as mere dust, remaining calm and composed even as old friends perished, secluded from the world, he would ultimately have to clash directly with this dog.

Golden Threads enshrouded in black mist rapidly descended, gradually taking shape.

"..."

Within the great hall, the old dog lying on the futon slowly opened its eyes.

Zhang Laifu had previously sensed someone breaking through to the Return to Void realm and had felt the breath of the Dao Plate being used.

This overt action was tantamount to treating him like a fool.

He did not know what kind of trap these despicable mortals had prepared, but he would never fall for it no matter what.

Zhang Laifu was clearer than anyone else.

What these people truly desired.

If he were deceived, he would undoubtedly fall into an irreversible predicament; there was no need to take risks at such a time.

Time slowly passed, yet the surroundings of the great hall seemed frozen in time.

Only the Golden Threads at Shen Yi's fingertips continued to move.

As the Communication Jade Slip at his waist trembled slightly, Tong Xin Chuan finally managed to memorize the "Prohibition" Great Formation in an extremely rigid way, not aiming for understanding, only aiming to replicate it.

"..."

Nie Jun watched helplessly as the younger disciple Tong walked from a distance to the entrance of the great hall, also starting to set up the formation with the Golden Thread of Deified Spirit.

He couldn't understand.

Could it be that Shen Yi intended to trap the old dog forever within a certain Great Formation?

But such an undisguised formation setup; how foolish would one have to be to naively step into it?

"Did I succeed?"

Tong Xin Chuan was drenched in sweat, trembling to the tips of his fingers out of nervousness.

This was his first time participating in the setup of a Reversal Void Formation.

Shen Yi's methods were astonishing.

The last time he saw the other party set up a formation, it was with the energy of Black Sha; this time, to accommodate him, he had surprisingly changed the Golden Thread of Deified Spirit to a fiery nature.

"Stay as far back as possible."

With Shen Yi nodding gently, Tong Xin Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, then saw Shen Yi take off his black robe and hand it over.

"Does this... does this mean we're going to take action?"

Tong Xin Chuan swallowed hard; he never dreamed that he would be involved in a fight at the Return to Void level.

As he spoke, a streak of light transformed into silver armor draped with snowy capes, clicking onto Shen Yi's body.

The young man who had been seated for many days finally stood up slowly.

Shen Yi grasped his bracer and made a slight adjustment.

This simple action immediately caught the attention of Nie Jun and Ye Wenxuan.

Under their tense but slightly incredulous gaze,

Shen Yi stepped up the majestic stone steps, crossed the Nanyang relief, and then entered the great hall.

Behind him, the Iron Sketch Silver Hook Great Formation suddenly lit up.

The aura of the Return to Void realm spread out with a roar!
