Chapter 184: The Meeting of Two Demon Kings (A Little Later)
Chapter 184: The Meeting of Two Demon Kings (A Little Later)
Xiao Qiangwei stared in astonishment as the strand of essence blood penetrated the bell.
What did it mean to have the essence blood of a Dan-embracing realm Youjun?
The best pill-condensing technique, at least five or more tempering attempts at the Wu Temple, or a treasure powerful enough to suppress an entire county.
This was something that no one else in Qingzhou had achieved in many years.
But...
Xiao Qiangwei looked at the young girl with a complicated expression.
As expected, Lin Baiwei stared at the bell in dismay, "That's not what I meant."
Before she could continue explaining, Shen Yi interrupted.
"I know."
Shen Yi slowly stood up and said calmly, "There's no need to rush."
Even a fully matured martial artist, no matter how hard they tried, could not make much of a difference.
"..."
For the first time, Lin Baiwei wished she didn't know the young man so well. Just from hearing half of his sentence, she immediately understood the unspoken half.
"Is there something else?"
Shen Yi walked up to her, seeing the young girl lowering her head in silence. Suddenly, he reached out and ruffled her hair, "Don't be dramatic."
Although he thought her decision to venture to the northern cliffs alone was a bit foolish, he still admired the quirky girl she had been before. Even when her life was hanging by a thread, she had the guts to bargain, saying, "Call me Master once, and I'll help you reach the threshold of the Initial Realm. How about it?"
It was more worthwhile to use her wits to stay alive and make the most of her life where it was needed.
Rather than acting on momentary impulses and doing something meaningless like trying to catch up with others.
"Ah!"
Lin Baiwei was struck as if by lightning. She froze, sitting stiffly on the bed, feeling a little dazed.
"I'm leaving," Shen Yi said, taking a step towards the door.
Xiao Qiangwei stared at Lin enviously, then came back to her senses. "It's so late. Where are you going?"
"Old General Chen asked me to pay a visit to Linjiang County when I have time, to bid farewell to General You on his behalf." Shen Yi recalled the conversation he had overheard from the two lions earlier. As the Demon Suppression General of Linjiang County, it was about time he paid a visit to Old Man Chen.
And with that, the young man once again disappeared into the courtyard like a gentle breeze.
Xiao Qiangwei reluctantly withdrew her gaze, only to find Lin Baiwei still sitting dumbfounded on the bed. She smiled helplessly, "Do you still want to change your dressing?"
"Yes, yes!" The young girl nodded vigorously.
...
Outside of Qingzhou, amidst towering mountains and lush forests, countless birds and beasts roamed.
Two figures strolled through the woods, both clad in fish-scale armor. The one on the left had a fair face without a beard, with an elephant trunk hanging down to his abdomen, while the one on the right was a wolf demon, its fur withered and body appearing aged and thin.
They stopped in front of an ordinary-looking waterfall.
The wolf demon halted and stood behind the elephant demon as he declared in a nonchalant manner: "The Howling Moon Demon King pays a visit. Please ask the Little Demon King to come out and meet him."
Occasional chirps of birds echoed through the mountains.
The Howling Moon Demon King was in no hurry. Instead, he patiently waited with his hands behind his back.
Finally, the waterfall slowly parted, revealing a damp and smooth cave.
A towering bull demon sat within, his knotted muscles giving off an immense sense of pressure.
He glanced out indifferently, a hint of wariness in his bell-like eyes, "Interesting. This is the first time someone has sought me out while I'm recuperating. I'm curious as to what you're up to?"
The aged wolf demon smiled and shook his head as he entered the cave.
He appeared minuscule in comparison to the Little Demon King as he casually sat down on the stone platform, "There's no need for the Little Demon King to worry. I didn't come here with any malicious intentions. I merely wanted to give you a friendly reminder."
"What kind of reminder?" The bull demon loomed over him.
At these words, the Bull Demon slowly narrowed his eyes, a hint of amusement in his tone, "Are you blaming me, old thing?"
He knew that the other party had been silently contributing a lot, but he would not accept such questioning.
"Audacious!"
A chilling aura emanated from the Elephant Demon as he abruptly stepped forward.
At the Bull Demon's feet, the old dog, who was barely clinging to life, opened his eyes and glared coldly at the Elephant Demon, his voice hoarse as he spoke, "Get back."
The Howling Moon Demon King raised his hand, interrupting the standoff between the two, "Little Demon King, you've misunderstood. I just want to give you a piece of advice. Advancing your realm is also part of your strength; there's no need to be so insistent on fairness with that woman in everything you do."
Seeing the old wolf back down, the Bull Demon's attitude softened a little. "After I've recovered from my injuries, breaking through will be like taking a step over the threshold. At that time, I'll help you get rid of your heart's disease, and I won't take away your territory. All I want is Qingzhou."
The Howling Moon Demon King was concerned that after Jiang Qiuluan's breakthrough, she would face a backlash from all of Qingzhou.
This old demon king had long lost his ambition and only sought peace and stability.
Hearing that he didn't even have the heart to manage his own woman, the Howling Moon Demon King said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Little Demon King."
The Howling Moon Demon King's eyes were filled with weariness, and having received the Bull Demon's promise, he seemed to relax a little. "In that case, I'll give you a small token of my gratitude. This brother of mine is as good as dead, and although he's a distant relative of mine, let me take him back and nurture him with my essence blood to save his life."
At these words, the Dog Demon's eyelids twitched, as if he felt some apprehension.
The Little Demon King hesitated slightly, but then he looked at his subordinate, whose body was mutilated by the Xuanbing Qisha Sword Intent, his flesh and blood a mess. This subordinate had loyally escorted him all the way from home to Qingzhou, never once complaining.
Although he felt that it damaged his reputation, the Little Demon King finally relented, his heart softening, "Thank you."
"Demon King!" The old dog struggled to get up.
"Don't worry about me, just focus on recovering." The Little Demon King sighed and coldly chastised him.
Only then did the Elephant Demon step forward and extend his hand to support the Dog Demon. The Dog Demon gripped the spear in his hand tightly but could only obey reluctantly.
The Howling Moon Demon King stood up and walked out of the cave, turning back to give the Bull Demon a deep look, "Please hurry... We don't have much time left."
The Bull Demon's expression turned cold once more, "Don't squander the little goodwill I have left for you."
It was only after the three figures had walked far away that the Bull Demon closed his eyes again, the wide waterfall slowly closing back up.
After a long while, outside the waterfall, on a green stone.
A petite young girl appeared, her figure small and delicate.
For the first time in hundreds of years, ripples stirred in Ah Qian's heart, and she couldn't help but feel tense.
Even in her wildest dreams, she couldn't have imagined that such a thing would happen so easily.
It even caused Ah Qian to feel a momentary daze.
The Little Demon King, badly wounded...
This was probably the biggest catch the demon catchers of Qingzhou had made in many years.
She struggled to control her emotions, her fingers quickly pinching the secret hand seals, strands of energy gathering in her palm.
Until they condensed into a cluster of flickering flames.
Ah Qian infused the energy into the golden bell, then turned and began to cultivate the Turtle Breath Art and the Transformation Shape Art again, disappearing quietly from the spot.
