Chapter 444 The Master of the Book of Life and Death? Afraid of being kicked out by a pot!
Even the teahouse owner, upon receiving the news, rushed upstairs immediately:
"Make way! Fellow Daoists, make way!!"
The innkeeper, carrying a fragrant teapot, poured Shen Yun a cup of tea with a restrained smile.
"Master Shen, this is my treasured wintergreen tea. You must treat me well since you're here!"
Before even tasting the tea, its fragrance filled the entire room as soon as it was poured into the bowl.
"Damn, he's really flattering me!" The tea drinkers watching Shen Yunyun picked up his teacup and took a sip, and they muttered to themselves. Some of the regular customers had never heard of the owner having such good tea before. They were really looking down on him!
"Master Shen, how is this tea?"
"Not bad."
The shopkeeper immediately beamed: "Oh, it's an honor to receive such a positive comment from you! If you like it, please take these two boxes of tea."
Shen Yun did not accept it; accepting such a small trinket would only lower his status.
After Ao Fei and Bai Xian'er finished their conversation, he got up and led the two away from the place.
Upon seeing this, the teahouse owner immediately shouted:
"Quickly! Go and make a new signboard! It should say 'Even Master Shen praised this teahouse!'"
Upon hearing this, the onlookers exchanged bewildered glances and stammered out a single sentence:
'Shameless! Absolutely shameless!'
……
The Eastern Emperor Clan is neither a Celestial King Clan nor a major power in the Celestial Realm.
Judging from the beautiful rural scenery in front of them, it was as peaceful as a paradise, and the surrounding towns were inhabited by low-level cultivators, so it was hard to attract people's attention.
The arrival of the three strangers drew curious glances from the farmers working in the fields.
Before Shen Yun and his companion could enter the village ahead, a burly man carrying spirit rice by the roadside put down the bags he was carrying and walked over with a smile:
"The three of you are unfamiliar faces. May I ask what brings you to my Xinghua Village?"
Shen Yun glanced at the surrounding crowd and said with a faint smile:
'We have come here only to find members of the Eastern Emperor Clan.'
Upon hearing this, the burly man felt a jolt in his heart, and his back began to tingle.
How did he know?!
It's been many years since outsiders have called them that!
At that moment, an aged voice rang out from within the village:
"Ah Hao, how dare you be rude! The presence of Pavilion Master Shen is a great honor to our Xinghua Village!"
Shen Yun looked up and saw an old man walking towards them, surrounded by a crowd, smiling.
"Ah Hao is not very worldly, please forgive him, Pavilion Master Shen."
Shen Yun smiled faintly: "I'm sorry to bother you."
The village chief gestured with his hand:
"please."
The group walked in silence into an ancestral hall in the village.
There were quite a few people inside, who, judging by their age, were probably elders of the Donghuang clan. However, the elders looked at Shen Yun and his companion with somewhat indifferent expressions.
After everyone was seated, Shen Yun got straight to the point:
"We have heard that the Eastern Emperor Clan possesses a rare star stone, and that is why we have come here."
Upon hearing this, a gaunt old man sitting to the right of the village chief smiled faintly and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.
"Sect Master Shen is truly all-knowing; he even knows this."
Feigning madness depends on the person; Shen Yun is now famous throughout the immortal realm and even has the title of reincarnation of an immortal emperor.
In fact, when he arrived at Xinghua Village, everyone had a general idea of his purpose.
However, this item is related to the secrets of the Dunyi Continent and is also an item that the Donghuang lineage has guarded for generations. How could it be handed over so easily?
“However, this item is a treasure of our clan. If Pavilion Master Shen wants to take it by force, he should give up that idea. We have our own methods to preserve it until now.” The gaunt old man spoke frankly.
The reason why the Escape Stone has been preserved to this day is that, apart from their seclusion, they must have had special means of protection; otherwise, it would have been taken away by powerful figures long ago.
"This item is quite important to me, name your price." Shen Yun was too lazy to argue anymore.
Upon hearing this, everyone present chuckled and shook their heads. The Escape Stone could not be measured by its value.
They also knew that Shen Yun's Linglang Pavilion might sell Immortal Emperor artifacts.
But even if ten more were brought in, they wouldn't sell them.
The gaunt old man was clearly the person in charge of the Eastern Emperor Clan. He looked at Shen Yun and was about to speak when his pupils suddenly contracted.
next moment!
boom!!!
An invisible pressure emanated from Shen Yun!
The void trembled, the Daoist voice boomed, and the clouds in the nine heavens collapsed, revealing the endless starry sky.
When countless Great Daos appeared in the void, the entire Immortal Realm was alarmed!
Countless powerful figures gazed in the direction of the Eastern Emperor Clan:
"The Great Dao is swirling around! It's that Pavilion Master Shen using a Celestial Emperor's magic weapon again?!"
"If I possessed such a treasure, I probably wouldn't dare use it to attract others' covetousness. This person is truly confident..."
But they were wrong; it wasn't Shen Yun using a Celestial Emperor artifact.
Inside the Donghuang Ancestral Residence.
Everyone stared in shock at the materialized ripples of the Great Dao surrounding Shen Yun, their faces turning deathly pale.
"A myriad of great paths intertwined?!"
"How is this possible?!"
To have the Great Dao swirl around you—that's a special divine ability possessed only by those at the Immortal Emperor realm!
The overwhelming pressure was something they couldn't withstand at all; they were all shaken so badly that they slid off their chairs and collapsed to the ground.
Shen Yun has not yet reached the Immortal Emperor realm, but the [Whale Aura] is equivalent to the aura of an Immortal Emperor, so it is not surprising that he has this effect.
He glanced at the shocked Eastern Wilderness tribesmen in the arena, his tone indifferent:
"Do you really think that I can only rely on this item to reach the Dunyi Continent? I am here to discuss this because of the respect of your Eastern Emperor Clan ancestors."
Since the other party is unwilling to give it, then we should use force to suppress them.
Seeing that these people showed no fear, and even seemed prepared to die, Bai Xian'er frowned, stood up, and shouted:
"Don't make a mistake! I am the Lord of the Book of Life and Death in the Underworld! If you anger my young master, your Eastern Emperor lineage will be completely wiped out of the Immortal Realm!!"
As she spoke, she tossed a tag engraved with the ancient Chinese character for "ghost" into the crowd.
The token floated in mid-air, radiating powerful soul energy, and faint sounds of wailing souls could be heard.
'The Decree of Yama, the King of Hell?!'
'She actually controls the Book of Life and Death?!' Everyone felt a chill run down their spines once again.
As the ancient Eastern Emperor Clan, they naturally knew of the existence of the Underworld.
The Book of Life and Death can directly trace the lineage of cultivators for thousands or tens of thousands of generations. If it were to be wiped out in one fell swoop, the Eastern Emperor Clan would truly be completely extinct!
Powerful cultivators can use bloodline techniques to exterminate entire clans, but this does not apply to adopted children or family servants who are not related by blood.
But the underworld is different; anyone with a connection can be found out!
The problem is that even the Celestial Emperor would be defeated in the face of the Underworld.
Who would have thought that Shen Yun had connections to the Underworld and could even access the Book of Life and Death?!
"Master Shen, please don't be angry!" the village chief said, prostrating himself on the ground and whispering in a trembling voice.
"We are only concerned because our ancestors instructed us to protect the treasure! Rest assured, we will go and retrieve the Escape Stone and hand it over to the Pavilion Master!"
The people present also became somewhat intimidated and began to speak up:
"I didn't expect that Pavilion Master Shen knew my ancestors from the Eastern Royal Clan. Please don't let this cause any trouble!"
"Yes, Pavilion Master Shen, if you had said so earlier, we would have handed it over immediately. There wouldn't be this misunderstanding!"
The Donghuang clan immediately backed down.
A few deaths are fine, but if an entire brood of them dies, that's something we really can't handle!
