Chapter 179: General Shen, No Need for Your Worries
Chapter 179: General Shen, No Need for Your Worries
Upon hearing this, everyone finally noticed the silver bell hanging on his waist.
Several demon hunters instinctively hid their own bells under their clothes, feeling that it was somewhat inappropriate to wear the same bell as General Shen.
The conversation between the two Demon Subjugation Generals was naturally not something others could join.
Xiao Qianwei recalled the scene of the collapse of half of the Xitai Mountain Range she had witnessed earlier. Looking at Shen Yi now, she finally connected the two in her mind.
After returning to the dilapidated temple, Jiang DaRen's first priority was to heal Shen Yi's injuries.
Perhaps the one who had actually killed the White Deer Demon Sovereign that night was not who he had assumed it to be.
This also explained why, after returning to Qingzhou City, Shen Yi was naturally appointed as a Demon Subjugation General.
No wonder Shen Yi had shown no concern throughout the journey, from slaughtering the Tiger and Toad Lord, killing the Three-Headed Peacock, to slaying the White Deer Demon Sovereign. He had always been calm and unhurried because he was among the top experts in Qingzhou.
Xiao Qianwei couldn't help but smirk, finding her previous concerns somewhat laughable.
"Please come in, General Shen."
You Longtao turned and re-entered the teahouse, sitting back down at the table.
He looked at the golden bell in his hand and then crushed it with force.
The illusion technique of the Crimson Mane White Jade Rabbit Demon was so perfect that even he couldn't see through it. Only by understanding Senior Yang and knowing the demon's innate talent did he guess its identity.
But deep down, he still believed in this golden bell.
After all, there were only three demon hunters of such cultivation in Qingzhou, leaving no room for him to gamble on probabilities.
It was precisely because of this that the rabbit demon dared to appear so brazenly before him.
When Shen Yi entered and immediately took action, it was clear he had seen through the fake bell. This was probably one of his many mysterious abilities.
At this thought, You Longtao couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.
He raised the teacup, taking a slight sip, and the familiar bitterness spread on his tongue, yet it brought a sense of satisfaction to his eyes.
The sudden appearance of such an impeccable Demon Subjugation General in Qingzhou made him feel an unprecedented sense of relief.
You Longtao clicked his tongue and looked at his fellow disciple, Lin Baiwei, with a smile, "I still have much to discuss with General Shen. If you have something to say, don't hold back."
Upon hearing this, Lin Baiwei, who had been biting her lip, finally revealed a delighted smile. She quickly walked over to them, eager to speak.
The next moment, she saw Shen Yi glance at her calmly, his gaze falling on her right arm.
"..."
Lin Baiwei was taken aback, her eyes filling with warmth. She spoke softly, "It's just a minor injury."
You Longtao noticed his fellow disciple's expression and raised his eyebrows. If he asked his fellow disciple, it would be a nuisance, but a glance from General Shen was enough to make her act like a little girl.
Her elbow was obviously bent.
"You..." Lin Baiwei looked at her fellow disciple and Xiao Qianwei, suddenly realizing they were both staring at her. She subconsciously wiped the corner of her lips, which had no grease, feeling something she couldn't quite say. She stammered, "Never mind, you have important matters to attend to. Let's talk later tonight."
You Longtao's expression turned peculiar.
Xiao Qianwei clenched her sleeves with her fingertips, staring at her shoes without speaking.
"Hmm."
Shen Yi didn't think much of it, as he and Lin Baiwei had hardly met during the day since leaving Baiyun County for Qingzhou City.
"General Shen's abilities truly broaden my horizons."
You Longtao took the opportunity to change the subject. His words were not flattery; he had witnessed unmatched killing techniques, exceptional movement skills that dominated Qingzhou, and although he hadn't encountered body-tempering martial artists, he had crossed paths with numerous demons and monsters. Their formidable demonic bodies made martial artists pale in comparison.
But to possess all these abilities at once is truly remarkable.
He had never heard of such a feat before.
Even someone as exceptionally talented as Senior Sister Jiang would focus on one path to break through to higher realms faster. As for someone with average talent like himself, it was simply impossible to possess so many skills.
A genius like Shen Yi was born for the path of slaughter.
Putting aside other matters, even if he were to face this Crimson Mane White Jade Rabbit Demon, he would never be as straightforward and brutal as it was.
"I was thinking of seeking advice from Senior Yang regarding the demon extermination..."
You Longtao felt a twinge of guilt. "I never expected that he would be intercepted by those three demons. I fear the news might have leaked from me."
Instead of inviting the Golden Bell Demon Hunter, they had summoned a Demon Suppressing Commander.
"Fortunately, General Shen is here to help."
He glanced at the rabbit demon's severed head lying in the teahouse, his expression slightly odd. "Now that I think about it, there's no need for further discussion."
With one less Demon Lord to deal with, You Longtao's burden would be significantly reduced.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qianwei turned her gaze back to him.
General You, being in the Embryo Pill Realm and cultivating the Dark Soul Path, was limited by his devotion essence. Unlike Jiang DaRen, he couldn't casually stroll through the demon horde after leaving Qingzhou.
Seeing that the other party had finally stopped that bold idea, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, she glanced at Shen Yi. Wherever he appeared, it seemed all difficulties could be resolved, giving her an indescribable sense of reassurance.
Just then, the young man in the room spoke up.
"Actually... we can discuss it further."
Shen Yi looked up, currently cultivating the Immortal Demon Nine Transformations and the Heaven Devouring Pill Devouring, he was truly in need of resources.
The inner pill of a single Embryo Pill Realm demon was far from satisfying his appetite.
"..."
You Longtao noticed Shen Yi's serious expression, not seeming to be joking, and couldn't help but feel a little taken aback. "General Shen, did you know that the Demon Lord you just killed was the wife of the Moonhowling Demon King?"
"I'm not afraid, but I suggest General Shen temporarily stays in Qingzhou, at least somewhere where the Commander can send messages at any time."
Although the Moonhowling Demon King might not care much about this rabbit demon, it was still necessary to exercise the highest vigilance.
"Thank you for the reminder."
Shen Yi nodded thoughtfully. No wonder he was so weak; he wasn't a general under the Demon King.
Seeing that the young man finally reacted, Xiao Qianwei finally breathed a sigh of relief...
"However, if we leave them all here, won't it prevent anyone from finding out?" Shen Yi's voice was calm, but it left those around him stunned.
"General Shen is truly..." You Longtao took a deep breath, unsure how to describe the other's train of thought.
It sounded so reasonable.
Moreover, with Shen Yi's help, the chances of success seemed surprisingly high.
After pondering, he smiled. "In that case, I, You Longtao, will not shirk my responsibility..."
"General You has misunderstood."
Shen Yi stood up. "I just want to know how you tracked those two demons. General You needs to guard the prefecture, so there's no need for you to worry."
He never intended to bring You Longtao along. Besides, what if the demons were already slain by the time they arrived?
If they encountered an ambush like the one at Stream Terrace Mountain, Shen Yi, with his Freedom Soaring Technique, could fight or flee as needed. In that case, You Longtao might become a burden.
"..." You Longtao's fists, which had been raised in a salute, froze in mid-air, his expression revealing a hint of awkwardness.
Although Shen Yi's words were logical, this inexplicable feeling of being rejected was a first for him.
