Chapter 51: Candidate Is Confirmed
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the past, the Shen Immortal Family failed to become a Golden Core Immortal Family because of the demon beast riot. In the end, they went downhill and were almost reduced to a Foundation Establishment Realm family.
The Shen Immortal Family was definitely one of the people who hated the demon beast riot the most.
Moreover, there was something that no one was willing to point out. As the demon beast riot was continuously being brought forward, it also showed that the situation of the human race on the high-level battlefield with the demon beasts was getting worse.
This was something that low-level cultivators like them could not interfere in at all. It was also the main reason why many people were not optimistic about the future.
In addition, there were demonic cultivators lurking in the dark.
To put it pessimistically, it was hard to say if ordinary cultivators and mortals like them would have a place to live in the entire Nine Essences Immortal Cultivation World.
This was also one of the main reasons why cultivators were constantly bewitched and eventually fell into the demonic path.
At this moment, everyone was looking at Shen Yuanlong, waiting for him to continue.
Shen Yuanlong clearly knew how everyone was feeling, so he did not keep them guessing and continued,
“In order to ensure that when the demon beast riot breaks out, we can focus on dealing with the demon beasts and not be disturbed by other unexpected factors, we need to resolve some hidden dangers in advance.”
Resolve hidden dangers in advance?
Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat.
They roughly understood what Shen Yuanlong was referring to.
The hidden dangers should be those demonic cultivators hiding in the dark.
Shen Rushuang, who had basically recovered from her injuries, said, “Ancestor, I wonder how we should resolve the hidden dangers? Should the various immortal families and sects search and clean up the demonic cultivators on their own territory, or should we listen to the arrangements of the Ganyang Sect?”
There was a big difference.
If the various immortal families and sects dealt with the hidden danger on their own, they had the right to decide how they wanted to do it.
The only problem was that due to their limited abilities, they might not be able to clean up the demonic cultivators completely.
If they listened to the arrangements of the Ganyang Sect, there was no doubt that all the immortal families and sects would be subsidiary forces of the Ganyang Sect. They had to follow the Ganyang Sect’s lead.
At that time, in face of danger, if the Ganyang Sect asked you to attack, you couldn’t retreat.
If you retreated, you, along with your sect, would be ostracized from the cultivation world.
Therefore, even though they knew that their abilities were limited, if they could, the various immortal families and sects still hoped to resolve the hidden dangers on their own.
Unfortunately, the answer was going to disappoint everyone.
Shen Yuanlong shook his head and said calmly,
“The Ganyang Sect rejected our suggestion to investigate independently. They ordered all the immortal families and sects above the Foundation Establishment Realm to send people to the Ganyang Sect within a week to accept their arrangements.”
Shen Yuanlong paused for a moment before continuing.
“Now, let’s discuss who in our Shen Immortal Family will go to the Ganyang Sect with me to partake in the operation to eliminate the demonic cultivators.
According to the rules, the Shen Immortal Family has to send at least four Foundation Establishment cultivators and more than 200 Qi Refinement cultivators.
Everyone, tell me what you think.”
Just as Shen Yuanlong finished speaking, Shen Changnian laughed and said,
“Count me in. It’s been so long since I last killed demonic cultivators. It’s time to go out and kill some.”
“How can I miss out on such a thing? Count me in.”
Xiong Wandao volunteered.
On the other side, Xu Qianhe smiled.
“On the battlefield, Level 2 array masters like me are definitely needed. Perhaps I can help, so count me in.”
Shen Daofeng and Shen Baifei, who used an array to cast their projection to attend the meeting, spoke.
“Ancestor, count us in. Speaking of which, we haven’t settled the score with them for wreaking havoc in our mortal city last time.”
Hearing these people volunteer without hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan was touched.
Did they not know that there was actually a huge risk in partaking in this operation with the Ganyang Sect to eliminate the demonic cultivators?
Perhaps the Violet Palace Realm cultivators could come out of it unscathed, but for the Foundation Establishment Realm and Qi Refinement Realm cultivators, there was a high chance that they would die if they were not careful.
There was no shortage of such tragedies in the past.
However, even though they knew this very well, Shen Changnian and the others didn’t chicken out.
Especially Xiong Wandao and Xu Qianhe, who were just guest elders. Jiang Chengxuan really could not understand why they took the initiative to get themselves involved in this.
On the other side, Shen Rushuang was also eager to join. Just as she was about to volunteer, Shen Yuanlong interrupted them.
“Alright, since everyone wants to go, let me decide.”
As he spoke, he glanced at everyone present and slowly said,
“First of all, as Level 2 Array Master, Level 2 Alchemist, Level 2 Talisman Master, Elder Xu, Shen Rushuang, and Jiang Chengxuan, you are excluded from this operation.
Shen Ruyan, you stay too. Also, Shen Daoming, as the current family head, you’re not allowed to go. You have to stay in the family to preside over the situation.
Changnian, Daofeng, Baifei, and Elder Xiong, get ready. In three days, the four of you will follow me to the Ganyang Sect.
As for the 200 Qi Refinement Realm disciples, you can choose for yourself.
Also…”
At this point, a solemn expression appeared on Shen Yuanlong’s face.
“For those of you who stay, don’t slack off. You might be the main force in the upcoming demon beast riot. You have a greater responsibility. During this period, you have to cultivate well and increase your strength.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yuanlong did not give everyone a chance to speak. His figure flashed and it instantly disappeared from the meeting hall. Two days later.
Shen Daoming appeared in Jiang Chengxuan’s cave abode.
He looked at Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan and said, “Chengxuan, Ruyan, right now, Brother Daofeng and Uncle Baifei are going to the Ganyang Sect with Ancestor tomorrow. They are currently in charge of guarding the spiritual vein and a Level 2 market. While they are away, someone else needs to take over their place for the time being.”
I’ve already sent Elder Xu over to the spiritual vein.
The Level 2 market is crucial for the Shen Immortal Family’s industry. To prevent any possible accidents, I might need the two of you to go to that market together to guard it. Do you have any objections?”
Hearing Shen Daoming’s words, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but look at each other and shake their heads at him.
“We have no objections.”
“Alright, there’s no time to lose. Prepare yourselves and set off as soon as possible.”
Shen Daoming nodded.
“In addition, the trade fair that we hold every 15 years will take place in the market soon. This time, I will let you be in charge of hosting it.
You can go to the family’s treasure vault later and take three treasures as the opening of this trade fair.”
