Chapter 162: You're Also Returning Home in Glory?
Chapter 162: You're Also Returning Home in Glory?
The Grand Demon-Subduing General strode out of the south street towards the north without the slightest hesitation, leaving the city directly.
But that familiar face caused a stir throughout Boyun County. Even the stern glares of the prefects couldn't stop the buzzing whispers of the crowd.
Old Master Lin, with his protruding belly, stuttered in excitement, "Th-that's my daughter! That's Official Shen!"
Ever since he found out about the fox spirit in his family and that his daughter had been replaced, he had become countless times more timid than before, never daring to reveal his daughter's position in the court to anyone.
It wasn't until Lin Baiwei passed by just now and secretly winked at him that Old Master Lin couldn't help but cry out loud.
"Why are you pushing me?" A vendor with a flushed face pulled his small cart stubbornly. "Official Shen loves my pancakes. She always eats two!"
Expressionless, the prefect pushed him back to the side of the street and hesitated for a moment. "Give me one to try."
...
Compared to the suddenly bustling Boyun County, the area outside the city was much quieter.
The North Cliff didn't belong to the demon territory but was under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou. It was only because the county had not reported the demon incident earlier that a group of foxes had been able to stay here undisturbed.
The two close attendants, the subordinate generals, followed the young man, their gazes on his back complicated.
He Zhen had followed the old man for over two hundred years. Even though he had undergone three martial temple refinements, he was still only a pill-forming stage warrior. He had some feelings about this, but not many.
However, Liu Yuquan was different. He had been a subordinate general who followed Chen Qiaokun since his youth, and his cultivation had reached the perfect pill-forming stage. Now, with his white hair and withered face, he had waited for many years.
If it hadn't been for Shen Yi's appearance, he would have been the most hopeful candidate to take over the position of Grand Demon-Subduing General...
Sensing He Zhen's strange gaze, Liu Yuquan forced a smile and gripped the great spear in his hand tightly. His voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz as he said, "The old general won't be wrong about people."
It was unclear if these words were meant to comfort He Zhen or himself.
After speaking, he took a deep breath and quickly followed, saying, "General Shen, before the old man left, he asked us to remind you that this fox spirit has quite a background. You must not be careless. If you can avoid using your sword or knife, it's best not to."
Shen Yi gazed into the distance at the high cliffs and nodded slightly. "Okay."
Then, his palm brushed past the silver bell at his waist, and the Sky-Rending Sun God Bow silently fell into his palm.
"...”
Lin Baiwei silently watched, and this familiar understanding ability was indeed still that of Shen Yi.
However, after chatting until late last night, she had already told him all the information she knew. How exactly to proceed would not be influenced by anyone; not even a Grand Demon-Subduing General would change their judgment.
The fox spirit who had learned the arts in Qingqiu would definitely not stay in the Great Qian Dynasty for long, as there was nothing here that it needed.
The other party was just enjoying the feeling of returning home in glory. From a lowly little fox spirit, it had risen to a position where even the Demon Subduing Division had to give it face. When it grew tired of this place, it would naturally leave.
However, when someone gains "face," someone else loses it.
Driving the fox spirit out of Qingzhou and waiting for it to leave on its own were two different things, even though the result was the same. They represented two completely different meanings.
...
Between the high cliffs, there was a unique cave mansion.
A thick tiger skin was spread on a stone seat, and the white-robed middle-aged man leaned comfortably against two beauties, enjoying their shoulder and back massages.
In the entire cave mansion, various furnishings were complete, no less luxurious than a grand mansion. There were about twenty-odd figures, all of whom had transformed into human forms.
It wasn't that they felt more comfortable this way, but the third grand-uncle disliked seeing a bunch of foxes, thinking that it damaged his dignity.
As expected of a great demon who had traveled the four corners of the world.
"We'll talk about it later." The white-robed middle-aged man yawned, a faint sneer curling the corners of his lips.
How dare a group of Early Stage demons covet the precious land of Qingqiu?
"Now that our children and grandchildren have been targeted by the Demon Subduing Division, if you leave... our lives will be in danger..." The old man spoke with trepidation, mustering the courage to voice his true concerns.
The white-robed man glanced down indifferently, not bothering to reply.
He didn't care about the fate of this group of foxes living in such a remote place.
He merely enjoyed watching the surprised and fearful expressions on the faces of the Great Qian Dynasty officers when they learned his identity.
The only reason he hadn't left yet was that he hadn't received the invitation.
Whether it was the general of Qingzhou or the Grand Demon-Subduing General, someone of stature should come and politely send him off.
If they lacked manners and the person sent was of low status, he wouldn't even bother to acknowledge them.
With this in mind, the white-robed man slowly stood up.
He strolled out of the cave mansion, stretching his body.
He casually looked downward, and his eyes suddenly turned white, becoming brighter and brighter, as if there was a blazing white sun hidden in his pupils!
His expression changed drastically, and he clapped his palms together, shouting, "Soul-Calming Bell!"
An arrow made of white light that gathered the power of the heavens shot up, carrying boundless might as it viciously tore through the sky toward the high cliffs!
At his waist, a palm-sized bronze bell suddenly released a shadow that enveloped him.
Boom!!
In the next moment, half of the high cliff was shattered by the white light, and the dense radiance poured into the crevices, dissolving all living beings within its range! It wasn't until the white light faded that the shadow of the bronze bell became so thin that it was invisible to the naked eye.
The white-robed man's expression turned gloomy, his lips twitching as he slowly turned his head to look back at the previous cave mansion. He saw only a pile of rubble; there was no trace of the fox spirits.
A surge of rage appeared in his eyes.
His face contorted with fury as he stared downward, fixing his gaze on the figure holding the bow.
"Xuan Jia, the Red-Cloaked Grand Demon-Subduing General..."
"How dare you be so rampant, little Qingzhou!" He didn't care about the lives of these fox spirits, but they must not be killed in front of him.
"Is this the Demon Subduing Division's way of delivering an invitation to me?"
The white-robed man took a step forward in mid-air, his voice as cold as ice: "You don't know how to take a hint."
As his words fell, a green jade sword shot out and landed at his feet.
Below the high cliff, Shen Yi remained calm as he gazed at the figure in the air. He said casually, "He made the first move with his sword."
He Zhen and Liu Yuquan opened their mouths, unsure how to respond.
The young man didn't seem to expect a response from them, as he suddenly transformed into a gust of clear wind, sweeping across the sky.
Seeing this, the white-robed man's eyes narrowed slightly, but he remained unhurried as he pinched his fingers and said, "Green Sun Sword! Go!"
The green jade sword at his feet transformed into three swords, two of which attacked from the left and right, their sharp sword intent slicing through the air!
At the same time, Shen Yi revealed himself, and a fierce demonic aura burst out of his body, condensing into two substantial Two Extremes Dao Swords. The scarlet yin-yang fish revolved, stirring up a dense killing intent!
The scarlet Dao Sword slashed out, and with the boost of his overwhelming demonic power, it easily tore the two treasure swords apart, turning them into clouds of smoke that dissipated.
Immediately after, the Dao Sword soared into the air, stabbing straight at the white-robed man's face!
