Chapter 179: No Need for General Shen's Trouble
Chapter 179: No Need for General Shen's Trouble
Upon hearing this, everyone finally noticed the silver bell hanging at his waist.
Several demon catchers subconsciously hid their own bells under their clothes, feeling that wearing the same bell as General Shen might not be quite appropriate.
It was not appropriate for others to interject in the conversation between the two Great Generals.
Xiao Qiangwei recalled the scene of half of Xitai Mountain collapsing when she left earlier, and now looking at Shen Yi in front of her, she finally connected the two in her mind.
When Elder Jiang returned to the ruined temple, his first priority was to heal Shen Yi's injuries.
It was likely that the one who truly took action to slay the White Deer Demon Lord that night was not Elder Jiang as they had assumed.
This also explained why after returning to Qingzhou City, Shen Yi was smoothly appointed as one of the Great Demon Suppression Generals.
No wonder along the way, Shen Yi had shown no worry when slaughtering the Tiger-Toad Lords, killing the three-headed peacocks, and beheading the White Deer Demon Lord... He was always calm and composed because he was already one of the top powerhouses in Qingzhou.
Xiao Qiangwei helplessly curled her lips, finding her previous thoughts a bit laughable.
"Please come in, General Shen."
You Longtao turned around and went back into the teahouse, sitting down at the table again.
He looked at the golden bell in his hand and then crushed it forcefully.
Even he couldn't see through the illusion technique of the Red-Maned White Jade Rabbit Demon; it was only because of his understanding of Elder Yang that he knew the latter would never make such a frivolous move, and knowing the rabbit demon's innate abilities, he was able to guess its identity.
But he still believed in this golden bell.
After all, there were only three demon catchers in all of Qingzhou with such cultivation, and he couldn't afford to gamble on probabilities.
And precisely because of this, the rabbit demon dared to be so rampant and brazen in front of him.
When Brother Shen came in, he took action without hesitation, probably because he saw through the fake golden bell. This was probably one of his many mysterious abilities.
Thinking of this, You Longtao felt a surge of emotion.
He picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, the familiar bitterness spreading on his tongue, but it brought a sense of satisfaction to his eyes.
With the sudden addition of such a nearly flawless Great Demon Suppression General in Qingzhou, You Longtao felt a sense of relief like never before.
You Longtao smacked his lips and looked at his junior sister beside him. He smiled and said, "I still have a lot to discuss with General Shen. If you have something to say, don't hold back."
At this, Lin Baiwei, who had been biting her lips, finally revealed a joyful smile. She took quick steps towards the two of them, eager to speak.
The next moment, she saw Shen Yi glance at her calmly, his gaze falling on her right arm.
"..."
Lin Baiwei paused, a hint of warmth appearing in her eyes as she softly said, "It's just a minor injury."
Noticing his junior sister's expression, You Longtao raised his eyebrows. When a senior brother asks, it's out of genuine concern, but when General Shen merely glances, she immediately puts on this act of being a delicate young lady.
This elbow nudge was a bit too obvious.
"You..." Lin Baiwei looked at her senior brother and Xiao Yi beside her, and suddenly realized that they were both staring at her. She subconsciously wiped the non-existent oil stain from the corner of her lips and felt a bit unable to speak. "Never mind, you should focus on important matters first. We can chat later tonight."
You Longtao's expression turned strange at her words.
Xiao Qiangwei tightly clenched her sleeves with her fingertips, staring at her shoes without saying a word.
"Mhm."
Shen Yi didn't think much of it. After all, from Boyun County to Qingzhou City, he and Lin Baiwei had hardly met during the day.
"General Shen's methods have truly broadened my horizons."
You Longtao seized the opportunity to steer the conversation. His words were not flattery. He had witnessed ruthless killing techniques, seen peerless body techniques, and although he hadn't encountered body tempering warriors, he had fought countless demons and monsters, their powerful bodies causing even warriors to pale in comparison.
A prodigy like Shen Yi was simply born for battle.
Aside from that, even if he were to face this Red-Maned White Jade Rabbit Demon, he absolutely wouldn't be able to handle it as simply and crudely as Shen Yi did.
"I originally wanted to invite Elder Yang to discuss the matter of demon-slaying..."
You Longtao felt a bit guilty. "I didn't expect him to be intercepted by these three demon lords. I fear the information might have leaked from me."
Instead of inviting the Golden Bell Demon Catcher, he had inadvertently invited one of the Demon Suppression Generals.
"Fortunately, General Shen lent a helping hand."
He glanced at the rabbit demon's corpse inside the teahouse, his expression turning strange. "Now it seems there isn't a need for further discussion."
With one of the three Dan-ingesting realm demon lords dead, You Longtao's pressure would be greatly reduced.
Hearing this, Xiao Qiangwei turned her gaze back.
General You was a Dan-ingesting realm cultivator who nurtured his Yin Spirit. With the restriction of incense wish power, he couldn't do what Elder Jiang did and stroll carefree among demons 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 secretly glanced at Shen Yi. Wherever he appeared, it seemed that all difficulties could be overcome, always making people feel extremely relieved.
Just then, the young man finally spoke.
"Actually... we can still discuss it."
Shen Yi raised his eyes, and now that he had the Immortal Nine Shedding and Heaven Devouring techniques to cultivate, he was truly destitute.
Just one Dan from a Dan-ingesting realm demon lord was far from satisfying his appetite.
"..."
You Longtao looked at Shen Yi's serious expression and didn't seem to be joking, so he was taken aback: "Does General Shen know that the demon lord you just killed was the wife of the Howling Moon Demon King?"
"I'm not being cowardly, but I still want to suggest that General Shen hide in Qingzhou first and stay somewhere where he can receive the Generalissimo's message at any time."
Although Howling Moon was a demon king, he might not necessarily care much about this rabbit demon.
But no matter what, he should be highly vigilant about this matter.
"Thank you for the reminder."
Shen Yi nodded thoughtfully. No wonder it was so weak. It turned out that it wasn't a great general under the Demon King.
Seeing the young man finally react, Xiao Qiangwei breathed a sigh of relief...
"But if we leave them all here, won't no one know about it?" Shen Yi's tone was flat, but it left the people beside him stunned.
"General Shen, you really are..." You Longtao took a deep breath, not knowing how to describe the other's way of thinking.
It sounded so reasonable.
And with the other party's help, the chances of success were actually quite high.
Thinking of this, he smiled: "Since that's the case, then it's my duty to help, of course..."
"General You misunderstood."
Shen Yi stood up. "I just want to know how you tracked those two demon lords. General You needs to guard a prefecture, so please don't trouble yourself."
He didn't want to bring You Longtao along. Aside from the fact that he didn't know what to do if the demon lords were killed by the other party, if they encountered an ambush like Xitai Mountain, he had the Carefree Wind-Riding Technique to rely on, being able to fight and flee. On the other hand, You Longtao would be a bit cumbersome.
"...You" You Longtao's fists, which had been raised to bow, froze in mid-air, his expression turning slightly awkward.
Although the other party's words made sense, this inexplicable feeling of being rejected... it was his first time experiencing it.
