The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 713: Chapter 356 Arriving at Demon Slaying Spirit City_2
 

By this point, the three Void Refinement Fox Demons were easily wiped out under the effect of his Path of Survivor’s ability.

If he didn’t have the Teleportation Ability, the outcome would have been the same, only that it would have taken a bit more time.

Among the Demon Tribe, Lin Yi always wore his openly declared title and never donned the title of the Path of Survivor; therefore, the hatred of the Fox Clan towards him hadn’t diminished in the slightest.

Because as a Jiao Dragon, entering the territory of the Demon Tribe, what was required was the attention of everyone, to showcase the demeanor of a True Dragon Descendant from the Immortal Realm. If he was to act according to the Path of Survivor, he wouldn’t have created such a conspicuous Golden Serpent.

Deep in the valley, Jin Heng and another female Ascender saw Lin Yi kill the three Void Refinement Fox Demons like a specter and couldn’t help but change their expressions, looking at him warily.

However, Lin Yi didn’t approach them to talk; instead, he attacked the surrounding Void Refinement and Divinity Transformation Demons. Their eyes were blood-red with faces full of murderous intent, their traces of movement were unpredictable like phantoms, and they could emit strange cries that unsettled the soul.

The effect of reducing Presence in his Path of Survivor title was still in effect, but the murderous intent of the Demons remained very intense.

It was evident from this that the murderous intent of the Demon race was not gathered through hatred, but rather the twisted spirit of being Demon Beasts.

Against these Demons, Lin Yi no longer used the characteristics of the Path of Survivor to kill them but faced the enemies head-on, employing both thunder and lightning as well as fire. It wasted quite a bit of time, but he eventually cleared them out completely.

After dealing with the Demons, Lin Yi finally approached the depths of the valley, where he saw Master Golden Sword, severely injured, and the female Ascender, both looking somewhat pitiable under relentless pursuits.

“Ascender Jin Heng pays respects to the senior, and thanks you for your life-saving grace,” Jin Heng said, bowing with clasped hands upon seeing Lin Yi approach.

“Ascender Liu Yuehua pays respects to the senior…” The female Ascender also bowed gracefully, both of their faces bearing a hint of wariness.

They could not sense the realm of strength of this senior, as if he were shrouded in a layer of fog, and his appearance was utterly ordinary, with no distinguishing features.

Lin Yi nodded slightly,” Jin Heng, you must be the Gold Sword True Monarch from the Lower Realm, correct?”

“Indeed, but how does the senior know of my honorific?” Jin Heng’s expression shifted as he inquired immediately afterward.

Lin Yi spoke indifferently,” I was entrusted by Dongfang Bubai to rescue you.”

Jin Heng’s spirit lifted. He hadn’t expected that the senior was the rescuer sent by Dongfang Bubai. It seemed that Yu Huan had been rescued, or else the Eastern Sect Master couldn’t have known that he had entered the Demon Tribe’s territory.

Once again bowing with clasped hands, he said,” So it was the Eastern Sect Master who extended help. I thank the senior once more for the life-saving grace.”

“No need for courtesy, I’m only here for the reward. You are Liu Yuehua, then where is Xu Yu Rou?” Lin Yi waved his hand dismissively and looked at the female Ascender beside him, frowning slightly.

The gentle appearance of this female Ascender was quite fitting for a Master Golden Sword.

Jin Heng sighed,” I entered the Demon race’s territory to rescue my fellow sect member, but I was chased by the Demon Tribe, sustained severe injuries, and for decades, I haven’t been able to travel far. Now, I don’t know the whereabouts of Yu Rou, and for that, I am truly ashamed.”

Lin Yi responded unconcernedly,” It’s just a matter of wasting some time. Follow me for now; I’ll take you to the Demon Slaying Spirit City, and then we will look for Xu Yu Rou.”

As both Master Golden Sword and the female Ascender were seriously injured, he couldn’t leave them behind. Moreover, through the calculations of the Minor Blessing State, Xu Yu Rou was in the direction of the Main City of Demon Purging. Transporting from the Demon Slaying Spirit City to there was the fastest way.

“Senior, will this affect your plans to rescue sister Xu Yu Rou? We could stay here to recuperate for a few days and then leave on our own,” Jin Heng slowly said.

Xu Yu Rou’s life and death remained uncertain, if she was in the same situation as them, arriving earlier would mean a greater hope for survival.

“I will look for Xu Yu Rou while escorting you to Demon Slaying Spirit City, don’t worry, we’ll depart in two days, you two should focus on healing for now,” Lin Yi shook his head and said, tossing out several bottles of healing Pills.

“Then we shall trouble the senior to be our escort.” Jin Heng and the other received the Pills, bowed their fists in thanks again, and without wasting any time, began Cultivating to heal their injuries.

Lin Yi then simply set up some Isolation Formations nearby and placed a Formation around Jin Heng and the other, afterwards, he used a Rebirth Charm to help pass on the souls of the Demons he had previously killed, and under the effects of the Compassionate Karmic Fruit, he also accrued a large number of Virtue Points.

The Formation around Jin Heng and the other prevented them from sensing anything from the outside world.

Otherwise, Master Golden Sword might start to yearn for the company of his Direct Disciple, who had an affinity for purging demons.

After Master Golden Sword and the other’s injuries had improved, Lin Yi set off with them towards Demon Slaying Spirit City. Although their current location was closer to Sword Edge Spirit City, which was within the Demon Tribe Area, getting through the Demon Tribe stronghold to safely enter the Demon Tribe Territory would be very troublesome.

His Teleportation Ability could only move himself and could not teleport others with him, so heading towards Demon Slaying Spirit City would be relatively more relaxed.

Amongst the Demon race, Sword Control was naturally impossible, and they could only travel swiftly on the ground. Even when Lin Yi was alone, he dared not wield his sword carelessly, let alone while accompanying two injured Cultivators of Divinity Transformation.

Using Element-less Power, Lin Yi formed a protective shield around the two of them to reduce the fluctuations of the Five Elements Spiritual Power, lest they attract attacks from the Demon race.

From Sword Edge Spirit City to Master Golden Sword’s location, it had taken him over four months. Now, with two injured Divinity Transformation Cultivators, some means of increasing speed were no longer an option.

Going to the even farther Demon Slaying Spirit City would probably take several times longer.

For this reason, he thought of a solution: flying close to the ground with his Flying Sword, being careful to avoid the Demon race should be manageable, as he couldn’t afford to waste years on this journey.

Master Golden Sword and Liu Yuehua stood together on his Flying Sword, protected by a shield formed of Element-less Spirit Power, then they flew rapidly close to the ground, and he also wore a title that increased his speed.

During the flight, Lin Yi also released his Divine Soul, sensing the surrounding Demon race, occasionally making use of the Eye of Emptiness.

Although they still encountered attacks from Demon Beasts, the numbers were manageable, and he dealt with them easily.

Even so, it took him nearly two years, traversing several mountains, before he finally caught sight of Demon Slaying Spirit City.

However, Demon Slaying Spirit City was enveloped by Formations and shrouded in a layer of mysterious mist, so what they saw was only this mist, unable to see the walls of Spirit City.

As for the appearance of the city inside, with the obstruction of mountains acting as barriers, even a shadow couldn’t be seen. These barriers were higher than the surrounding mountains and carried a mysterious aura themselves, impervious to deeper exploration.

At that moment, there were no Demon race attacks outside, so they could avoid some trouble and directly enter the city.

“See that towering mountain ahead? That is Demon Slaying Spirit City. Prepare yourselves, you two will need to undergo the City Guard’s inspection,” Lin Yi reminded them briefly. After reaching Demon Slaying Spirit City and resting for a day or two, he would also hurry to the Main City of Demon Purging to rescue Xu Yu Rou.

Gazing at the tall mountains, Jin Heng and the other exchanged glances, both revealing a trace of joy. They had originally thought they would die at the hands of the Demon race but were fortunate to have been rescued by this senior and could now see a Human race city in the Spirit Profound Realm alive, “We thank the senior deeply for saving our lives and allowing us to arrive here.”

“If you want to express gratitude, go thank Dongfang Bubai. I’m just taking the money to eliminate the calamity,” Lin Yi waved his hand, leading them towards Demon Slaying Spirit City.

On this journey, because he was avoiding the Demon race, he hadn’t located the Dark Abyss. However, with his current clone’s capabilities, approaching the Dark Abyss was simply out of the question, let alone its expanded footholds, which were not the core of the Dark Abyss itself, were likely unreachable as well.
