127: The family’s high hopes!

The Divine Soul of Immortal Master Kuixiao dissipated between Heaven and Earth.

The invisible control of the Puppet lineage quietly became ineffective.

The Magical Artifact bell above his head also lost its power, falling to the ground, and was taken into Shen Li's Possession.

The various Immortal Sects did not pay attention.

He stretched his body, but his eyes were focused on Shen Li.

However, he felt quite guilty in his heart.

It seemed he was regretting his previous disrespect towards this Shen Family Immortal Seed.

Yang Dingtian of the Jiaoyang Immortal Sect, however, said in a deep voice.

"Fellow Daoist Shen Li of the Qingchi Mountain Shen Family... this time, I am truly grateful."

Many Disciples of the Immortal Sects also offered their thanks repeatedly.

Shen Li, however, shook his head and said.

"I know that you Fellow Daoists still have trump cards, but you haven't used them, so it's not a great favor."

Shen Li's figure, however, walked up Yanmo Mountain.

The Loose Cultivators of the Evil Cultivator Alliance saw their Alliance leader die in an instant, and their eyes were filled with disbelief... Then, seeing Shen Li ascend the mountain, they all knelt down.

The Yuting Guard went up the mountain and took over Yanmo Mountain, then suppressed all remaining martial artists and Cultivators.

The Second Elder still wanted to escape, but was annihilated by Yang Dingtian with a single spear!

And the awakened General Wushuang, at Shen Li's signal, walked into the largest cave.

The screams of Yao Beasts appeared as expected... and then gradually faded into weakness.

In less than half an incense stick of time, a yellowish-brown figure quietly appeared in their sight.

Liu Meng and Senior Brother Wei, who had fortunately survived the great battle with only minor injuries, looked at that figure in disbelief.

Liu Meng's Face was even paler.

"Damn it! I wondered why I couldn't find Sun Xingtu! So he had already pledged allegiance to this Shen Family Immortal Seed! He found a powerful patron!"

"Senior Brother, what should we do?"

Her eyes were full of fear, and her body kept shrinking back, seemingly deliberately avoiding Sun Xingtu, afraid that Sun Xingtu would notice him.

Senior Brother Wei's eyes flickered with resentment, and he whispered.

"Zhao Si once said that the ultimate treasure was taken by someone, and the only one who explored the ruins after us was this Sun Xingtu!

It must be that Sun Xingtu was discovered taking it, but for some reason, it ended up in the hands of this Evil Cultivator Alliance!"

"Perhaps it was also because of the value of the longevity pill that Sun Xingtu found a powerful patron!"

"I told you long ago that Sun Xingtu was cunning, Junior Sister, but you didn't believe me. Do you believe me now?"

Liu Meng nodded repeatedly. Now she only wanted to leave this place. She found that the atmosphere here had become increasingly oppressive since the appearance of the longevity pill.

The most terrifying thing was that Sun Xingtu's gaze was already directed at her.

Senior Brother Wei, who seemed to have seen through everything, said in a deep voice.

"It's just that he has now pledged allegiance to this Shen Family Immortal Seed, and Yellow Sand Plains is the territory of Qingchi Mountain, and the power of this Shen Family Immortal Seed is not weak... So we need to plan gradually! We can't kill him right now!"

"We also have no way to obtain this longevity pill... There is no True Inheritor from Tian Ya Pavilion present here, and our strength is not enough."

"Let's... retreat."

Then the Disciples of Tian Ya Pavilion moved outwards.

Sun Xingtu, holding up the longevity pill, put the longevity pill in front of Shen Li, then exchanged a glance with Shen Li and quietly disappeared from the spot.

Afterwards, as if hearing something, Ruo Liuli and Wang Teng's figures also disappeared.

Shen Li didn't care. He raised the longevity pill. Yes, he intended to fulfill his promise.

In fact, the value brought by the longevity pill far exceeded its intrinsic worth.

Moreover, this entire operation was initiated because of the longevity pill. If he didn't fulfill his promise, if the omniscient betrayed him, it would be impossible to explain and he would become the target of public criticism.

A ninth-grade... longevity pill, he had to hand it over.

Shen Li said indifferently.

"Everyone... the longevity pill is here."

"But there's only one... Who should it go to? I can't manage that."

"If you all are willing to give me some Face, do not resort to violence. Stop the Dao battles when a winner is determined... How about the victor takes this longevity pill?"

Yang Dingtian of the Jiaoyang Immortal Sect's eyes flickered.

"Fellow Daoist Shen not interested in the longevity pill?"

Shen Li said indifferently.

"Shen Li still understands the principle that a gentleman's word is his bond."

"As expected of a wonderful person."

Yang Dingtian clapped his hands and laughed, then looked around and said.

"This Immortal Master Kuixiao was killed by Fellow Daoist Shen Li. Logically speaking, everything in Yanmo Mountain belongs to Fellow Daoist Shen Li, but Fellow Daoist Shen Li is a man of his word and is willing to release this longevity pill."

"The longevity pill is of great importance, and there are Elders in our Family who have sought it in vain, so... if we obtain this longevity pill, we will definitely compensate Fellow Daoist Shen in other ways."

Many Immortal Sect Disciples nodded repeatedly.

Yang Dingtian continued.

"That's for the best... Since it's a Dao battle, let's not stand here in Fellow Daoist Shen Li's way. Let's go a few hundred miles forward and decide the victor."

"I remember, Fellow Daoist Shen Li is the Cultivator guarding Black Ridge City, right? Once the victor is determined, we will go to Black Ridge City to bother you for a bit. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Shen Li?"

"I will sweep the mat to welcome you."

"Let's go!" Yang Dingtian laughed heartily.

"I'm going to fight eight of you! You, the True Inheritor of Beast Control who rides a dog, you come first! I've been annoyed by your snarling dog for a long time!"

"And that Ten Thousand Swords True Disciple, with your sullen Face, what are you pretending to be? I've been annoyed by you for a long time too!"

"You, you, you! Come together!"

"How audacious!"

"Yang Dingtian! You deserve a beating!"

Many Immortal Sects flew away, leaving only Shen Li's Family behind.

Second Master Shen's eyes were complex. He stepped forward, patted Shen Li's shoulder, and sighed.

"A single ninth-grade longevity pill exchanged for the connections and goodwill of many Immortal Sects... This business deal was a huge profit."

"Previously, I was narrow-minded."

"longevity pills will appear again, but opportunities like this are rare."

Shen Li, however, showed no arrogance, only explained.

"Second Master, you don't really think they value my benevolence, do you?"

Second Master Shen was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily.

"Yes, in the final analysis, they are still afraid of your strength, afraid of a Great Art, afraid of you, this Sword Cultivator of the Taiyin Dao lineage..."

Second Master Shen paused for a moment before continuing to sigh.

"Your fortune... is a little too exaggerated."

"If I couldn't sense the Blood Guidance and Qinglan Food Qi Method, I would genuinely think you were some old monster who underwent Possession, and then opened your own treasure vault and legacy."

Shen Li couldn't help but smile.

"Alright, with most matters settled, I really couldn't be of much help... so I won't bother you here."

"Second Master is leaving?"

Second Master Shen nodded.

"Before this battle, the Family Head had already summoned me home. I suppose there's something important. This has delayed things by half a month."

Second Master Shen looked at the Shen Family inner Disciples behind him and asked.

"Among these people, do you see anyone useful?"

"Or... is there anyone you lack? Tell me, and I'll return home, report to the Family Head, and send them to you."

Shen Li joked.

"If you can send some Spiritual Intelligence, Spirit Beasts, Spiritual Objects, and Spiritual Veins, that would be even better."

"As for people... I happen to need a bookkeeper proficient in general affairs, so I'll trouble Second Master to put in some effort."

Second Master Shen nodded seriously, noting down the request.

"heaven and earth treasures, the Family should be able to spare one or two for you. After all, you are working hard outside, and the Family naturally cannot hold you back."

"Regarding general affairs, I know your actions are to reassure the Family. You are much more mature than I imagined, but you must remember."

"Don't be too distant."

"After all, you and I... are Family, blood is thicker than water."

"The fact that your surname is Shen cannot be changed in this life."

"You and the Family rise and fall together."

"Ice Law minor arts, Taiyin minor arts, which are Water-Wood minor arts, I will send you some, but resource allocation cannot all be given to you... otherwise, it will cause dissatisfaction among other Family members."

"Do you understand this principle?"

Shen Li bowed and nodded.

Second Master Shen said with satisfaction.

"Although our Shen Family has a good reputation, the number of Immortal Masters is a bit too small. One Family with two Immortal Masters will inevitably make people laugh."

"In this world, it ultimately depends on power, on fists."

"I truly look forward... to you becoming the Shen Family's third Immortal Master."

"And the Shen Family's first Sword Cultivator."

"The first Taiyin Immortal Master."

"The first Immortal Master specializing in Dao battles!"

Seeing this, Shen Li's expression became solemn.

"Shen Li will do his best!"
