Chapter 121: The Mountain Lord's Aura
Chapter 121: The Mountain Lord's Aura
After running around the city all night, dozens of demon hunters felt like headless flies, being toyed with.
Jiang Chengyun would never doubt the capabilities of his colleagues.
The only possible explanation was that the gap between their strength and that of the demons had become so vast that it could no longer be compensated for by experience.
This was also the reason why Jiang Chengyun had lost his composure slightly after learning that Shen Yi had gone out to hunt demons.
Among the three tiger demons, there was at least one Demon Sovereign.
Although Yong'an City seemed restless at the moment, the actual losses were not significant, and it didn't look like a place that had been ravaged by a Demon Sovereign for a night.
Connecting this with the Mountain Lord's mournful cry before leaving, there had to be a reason for all of this.
"I thought I had already overestimated you enough."
Jiang Chengyun sighed, even though he was reluctant to believe it, "You still managed to give me an even bigger surprise."
At such a young age, to personally slay a Demon Sovereign in the Condensation Core Realm was beyond his wildest dreams.
"Your bitter gourd face doesn't look very surprised." Xiao Qiangwei's eyebrows arched slightly.
"Nonsense! After preparing for so long, we didn't even get a bite of meat." Jiang Chengyun laughed at himself, his tone suddenly becoming much lighter, and he no longer tried to act like a senior.
At least before he reached Condensation Core Perfection, Shen Yi was fully qualified to be considered his peer.
He looked at the youth across from him, "I'm saying, can't you be less cold? If it were me, I'd be bursting with pride right now. I don't believe you're really this calm. Say something to make me feel better."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi raised his eyes.
After using the Heavenly Demon Yanluo Outer Pill to its full potential, he felt a strange mental exhaustion, and he was indeed a bit tired.
But if the other party insisted that he speak, he did have something he wanted to ask.
"I want the Mountain Lord's aura. What do I need to exchange for it?"
This time, his luck wasn't great. He couldn't obtain the power of the bloodline from the Tiger Pill, and he couldn't track the tiger demons by their bloodline aura like he did with the dragon.
As soon as he said this, Jiang Chengyun's face, which had just shown a hint of a smile, suddenly looked a bit taken aback.
He was surprised by the boy's ability to slay the Vajra Sect's abbot, and now, after killing a newly advanced Condensation Core Realm tiger demon, he was asking for the Mountain Lord's aura before his praises had even finished?
"Are you out of your mind? Do you know what Condensation Core Perfection represents? That old dragon in the Core Formation Realm you saw on Qingfeng Mountain wouldn't last a hundred rounds against this Mountain Lord."
"Moreover..."
Jiang Chengyun's throat was stuck on the name "White Deer," and it took a long time for him to spit it out.
It was the nightmare of countless demon hunters, silently killing a Demon Subduing General under their most confident intelligence.
"You want me to ask, but you won't answer."
Xiao Qiangwei pouted and leaned back in her chair. She didn't plan to go now, but since they had made an enemy, if they didn't eliminate the root of the problem, she wouldn't feel at ease.
Seeing this, a hint of embarrassment flashed in Jiang Chengyun's eyes as he clenched his fists. After a long while, he managed to suppress his frustration, "What do you want me to say if I didn't get its aura?"
Just then, Xiao Qiangwei suddenly interrupted him, "Who said we didn't get it?"
She opened her palm, and a golden aura silently drifted out from the silver bell.
Staring at the aura, Jiang Chengyun's eyes twitched twice. He had clearly seen her pinch it off with her own hands.
"Don't be so surprised. It's just a small treasure that deceives the eyes."
On Xiao Qiangwei's slightly pale face, her red lips curved up as she looked at Shen Yi across from her, "Not only can I give you this aura, but if you can get accurate information, I can also invite a Demon Subduing General to assist you.
Jiang Chengyun's expression was peculiar.
He had always looked down on those who relied solely on the support of the old folks. After all, every Demon Subduing General or Silver Bell Exorcist had their own important duties, and if they were to act on personal matters, it was easy to lose sight of the bigger picture.
But Xiao Qianwei was different. Firstly, she relied not on her elders but on her juniors, and secondly, exterminating the White Deer was undoubtedly one of the most crucial tasks in Qingzhou.
Lastly... she was clearly taking advantage of Shen Yi's ignorance. What did she mean by 'accurate and reliable information'? If she truly had such abilities, would she even need You Longtao?
"What are the conditions?"
Shen Yi didn't get too excited; there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
"Escort me to Blackstone Pool. I have a secret order from Marshal You to deliver to the Personal Escort Commander stationed there."
As Xiao Qianwei spoke, she covered her lips, and a hint of fresh red blood seeped through her fingers.
She was just passing by this place and happened to see many demon hunters. Thinking that the letter wasn't urgent, she came over to join the commotion, never expecting it to turn out like this.
Jiang Chengyun would definitely return to Qingzhou to report this matter to Granny Aqian and recuperate. However, it wasn't as convenient for him.
Compared to the Jade Dew Realm demon hunters in the city, this young man named Shen Yi clearly possessed much stronger abilities.
"Personal Escort Commander?"
Shen Yi suddenly remembered something. It was said that these people were stationed in one place for years, keeping an eye on a famous and formidable demon to deter it.
It wouldn't hurt to take a look.
With this in mind, he took out a silver bell from his waist and casually held it between his fingers, "Deal."
Upon seeing the bell, Lin Rou, who had been quietly standing by the side and idly playing with her fingers, suddenly widened her eyes and tightly gripped her sleeve! If she remembered correctly, just a few days ago, Jiang Chengyun was teaching her the most basic rules?
Even Xiao Qianwei was taken aback for a moment. She stared at the beautiful silver bell and then looked at Jiang Chengyun with suspicion.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I'm not good enough?"
Jiang Chengyun gave her a sidelong glance, annoyed. With Shen Yi's strength, as long as he didn't die, he was bound to become a Silver Bell Exorcist like himself in the future. A mere silver bell was nothing to make such a fuss over.
"That's not it."
Xiao Qianwei retracted her gaze and used her fingers to send the golden Mountain Lord's aura into Shen Yi's silver bell, "If you have no other business, it's best to set off as soon as possible."
After saying this, she stood up and walked out of the hall.
It wasn't as if she was deceiving him, although she did have a playful intention. But the merits gained from this aura alone were enough to offset the rewards for this escort mission.
"..."
Shen Yi closed his eyes and felt the aura of the Mountain Lord, his heart gradually stirring with excitement.
He had never tasted a perfect demon pill before.
Perhaps his strength was too weak, not enough to enter the demon's territory.
He put the silver bell back on his waist.
Shen Yi stood up and took a step, but the miserable-looking old man quietly stopped him.
Deng Jianyuan looked at him with a hint of emotion.
The demon hunters cared more about what level of demons the opponent had killed and how formidable their strength was.
But the old man and the Deng family members behind him saw something different. They saw that Yong'an City was barely maintaining stability, and although many people inside the city were anxious and trembling, they could still stay in their homes instead of being separated from their bodies.
All of this was because the young man had chosen to step out of this door last night.
"Thank you, young hero, for protecting the Deng family and Yong'an City."
Deng Jianyuan bowed deeply, and the crowd behind him followed the ancestor, making the same gesture.
"You're welcome, it's my duty."
Shen Yi waved his hand casually and walked out of the hall.
Besides being a demon hunter, he also carried the waist plaque of the Demon Suppressing Bureau, intending to benefit from both sides. It was only right for him to do double the work.
