Chapter 165: A Journey to the Capital
Chapter 165: A Journey to the Capital
【In the 236th year, you didn't truly intend to erase the grudges of the Dragonfiend and the Mountain Lord. Instead, you observed the Yin-Yang changes, and you have already reached perfection in the Two-Element True Intent. However, at this moment, the Yin-Yang fish on the Dao Sword's shadow slowly transformed into a dragon and a tiger.】
【In the 272nd year, with the explanations and guidance of the Fox Demon of Green Hill, the insights in your mind became increasingly clear. Finally, it released the Mountain Lord and the Dragonfiend, and the Two-Element Dao Sword returned to its original form. You slowly closed your eyes, and in the next moment, the dragon's roar and tiger's howl from the Dao Sword reverberated through the sky.】
【Essence of Two Instruments Dragon and Tiger】
The prompt on the panel was not a new martial art but an ultimate skill similar to the Demon-Subduing Sun-Facing Saber, without any distinction of proficiency.
Countless insights flooded into your mind.
After absorbing them all, Shen Yi couldn't help but feel a hint of surprise in his eyes.
In just over two hundred years, the Fox Demon had allowed the secret martial arts of the White Cloud Sect to reach a new level, and with the help of the Dragon Lord and the Mountain Lord, it was enough to show the other party's extensive knowledge. And it was just a disciple of Qingqiu.
Thinking about himself, not to mention creating martial arts, it took him over a thousand years to perfect the Two-Element True Intent.
This time, he had truly stumbled upon a treasure.
The youth's expression changed slightly, and Lin Baiwei couldn't help but look over curiously, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just feel that this little bag is quite exquisite." Shen Yi shook his head and made up an excuse.
"After all, it's a powerful Demon Clan force with deep roots, something our Qingzhou can't compare to." Lin Baiwei finished speaking, as if remembering something, she smiled lightly, "I'm going home to spend time with my father. Do you want to come along and have a quick meal? He really wants to thank you in person for saving me."
Upon hearing this, a barely noticeable trace of disappointment flashed through Lin Baiwei's eyes, but she still smiled, "Alright then, I'll make something delicious for you when you return from the capital."
"Mm." Shen Yi nodded slightly, seeing her off.
He then continued to channel the Demonic Lifespan into the Sun Melt Furnace, but it had little effect on this pure martial art inner strength.
Fortunately, he had made a small fortune.
There were still forty-nine Great Aperture Meridians left, and with over ten thousand years of lifespan, it was like a walk in the park, with absolutely no obstacles.
【In the 52nd year, you communicated with a new Great Aperture Meridian...】
Similar prompts appeared one after another.
As the dark red meridians within his body became increasingly vast, all the acupoints in his body finally connected.
In that instant, Shen Yi felt as if he had transformed into a tightly sealed treasure furnace, and the mighty suppression power far exceeded that of before. Moreover, instead of repeatedly sweeping through the sea of energy in the form of scorching white mist, it filled his entire body, like a protective barrier.
He didn't even need to actively control it to make the Celestial Demon Outer Pill behave like an obedient rabbit.
Shen Yi carefully sensed the changes in his body, gradually calming his mind.
Although it seemed like a bit of a loss to use over two thousand years of Demonic Lifespan just to suppress a single Outer Pill, as he cultivated Demonic martial arts, he couldn't help but pick up some odd things. With this suppression power as a safeguard, it was like buying peace of mind.
【Remaining Demonic Lifespan: 10,735 years】
Looking at this string of numbers, Shen Yi felt like a poor man who had suddenly become rich, not knowing how to spend his newfound wealth.
Since crossing over, when has she fought such a wealthy battle?
Once the Heaven Devouring Pill is obtained, what is the point of Essence Condensation or Core Formation? First, let's see if the Primordial Master can handle its taste.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi's anticipation for this trip to the capital grew. She took out and swallowed the Fox Demon's inner pill, directly supplementing the Celestial Demon Outer Pill to perfection. Then, she stepped out of the room.
He Zhen and Liu Yuquan waited on the street, holding the reins of a crimson horse. Compared to Shen General, their mood was much heavier.
The main issue was how to write the report for the inspection tour. The two glanced at each other and firmly stood by their own commander.
...
In Qingzhou City, the Commander's Mansion.
General Jiangan tightly closed his eyes, his expression calm. Only his clenched fist on the report betrayed his true emotions.
The report was extremely concise, containing just one sentence.
"With Shen General's reminder, the Fox Demon dared to resist with force, attempting to make a last stand. It was swiftly eliminated by Shen General..."
He opened his eyes and looked at the two attendants holding the Fox Demon's severed head.
They had even stripped the demon of its clothes.
General Jiangan's voice was indifferent, "Do you know this Fox Demon is from Qingqiu?"
Liu Yuquan replied without hesitation, "Yes."
Upon hearing this, General Jiangan slowly put down the report and withdrew his gaze, "Then what are you waiting for? Go and dispose of the body quickly."
A Fox Demon from Qingqiu had died within the jurisdiction of the Great Qian Dynasty. The extent of the trouble this would cause depended on whether Qingqiu remembered the disappearance of one of its disciples.
Even as the commander of a province, he couldn't help but feel a slight headache.
After the two attendants left the courtyard, the commander sighed, rubbing his forehead. He looked at Chen Qiankun, who was expressionless, "Why didn't you remind me?"
Chen Qiankun had witnessed Shen Yi's mysterious teleportation technique and didn't think the Fox Demon posed any threat to the youth. However, he also didn't expect Shen Yi to be capable of such decisive actions.
But when faced with the commander's questioning, the old man's expression remained unchanged, and he merely looked back with confusion, "What am I supposed to remind you of? A Demon Suppressing Commander being able to slay a Core Formation Perfection Fox Demon is the most normal thing in the world... Or is the commander having second thoughts and afraid to take on this trouble for Shen General?"
"Don't try to silence me. I, Jiangan, have no habit of going back on my word."
General Jiangan adjusted his breathing; this old man was clearly trying to provoke him.
If this matter were exposed, it wouldn't be solved with a few favors. They needed to prepare for action in advance...
Was he testing Shen Yi's strength, or was Shen Yi testing his endurance as a commander?
The conversation outside was too loud, clearly affecting the two women inside the room.
Jiang Qiulan's lips curled up in a fleeting smile, but even the Princess of Ji didn't notice it before her expression returned to calmness.
The Princess had originally planned to observe Qingzhou's sharpest sword for five days.
Now, after only two and a half days, she felt there was no need to continue. Whether it was personality or appearance, they were among the top in the Great Qian Dynasty, not to mention the high probability of the youth becoming a Primordial Master.
In the Great Qian Dynasty, Primordial Masters were the most sought-after existence. Even the royal family treated them with respect. In other words, once the youth broke through, their status and identity would undergo a dramatic change, and there would be no reason to associate with the Ji Royal Family.
"Qiulan, since your colleague has returned, if there's nothing else, let's set off for the capital immediately."
