Chapter 185: Dragon Fishing on Yangchun River
Chapter 185: Dragon Fishing on Yangchun River
Qingzhou, Linjiang Prefecture.
Demon Suppression General's Mansion.
Chen Qiankun held a letter sent from Qingzhou City, written by Jiang Qiulan. According to the letter, his Demon Suppressing Commander should have arrived in Linjiang Prefecture a few days ago.
So, where is he...
Liu Yuquan stood awkwardly beside him, observing the old man's salt-and-pepper hair. Every now and then, he would take out the letter, glance at it, and then sigh as usual.
He consoled, "Perhaps something delayed him on the way."
Chen Qiankun put away the letter, "It's normal for young people to be busy. I, an old man, don't really mind."
Logically, the other party should have undergone purification at the Divine Martial Temple in the Imperial City and should have already reached the Profound Core Perfection Realm, the Spirit Condensation Phase. Why wouldn't he be in a hurry?
The old man truly felt that the devotion essence of this prefecture, when used on himself, was somewhat wasted.
At the age of over eight hundred, he still hadn't managed to break through the third barrier to form a true shadow soul.
If it were Shen Yi, he would undoubtedly make better use of this devotion essence.
Now, he could only wait for the other party to arrive, familiarize himself with the situation in Linjiang Prefecture, and then this old man could finally retire.
"General Chen, General Shen has arrived."
Two captains hurried over and saluted.
Hearing this, Liu Yuquan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to look at General Chen, who had just said he didn't mind, the old man quickly stood up and strode out of the main hall.
Ah, the general truly felt that he was losing control.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so anxious.
He just hoped that with General Shen's arrival, the old man could finally rest.
In the front courtyard.
Chen Qiankun looked at the handsome youth in dark green robes and felt inexplicably more pleased the longer he looked at him.
And it was different from before.
Perhaps because they had met two or three times, the other party no longer seemed as distant, and there was even a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Although he didn't know what the youth was anticipating, Chen Qiankun wasn't a stingy person. As long as Linjiang Prefecture could offer something, he would never be reluctant, as it would all belong to the other party in the future anyway.
"Shen Yi greets Old General Chen," Shen Yi bowed.
"Don't keep acting like a subordinate. You're also a commander here now," Chen Qiankun shook his head. It must be said that although they had become a bit distant, the other party's attitude towards him, from personal attendant to deputy general and now Demon Suppressing Commander, had never changed.
"Come in quickly."
He turned and led the other party to their seat, saying with slight emotion, "You're someone who doesn't visit the Holy Trinity Hall without a reason. This is probably the first time you've taken time out to visit an old man like me."
Liu Yuquan stood by the side, secretly laughing to himself.
It wasn't just the first time he had come to see General Chen; General Shen had hardly ever visited Linjiang Prefecture.
Shen Yi pondered for a moment before speaking softly, "Actually, I also have something to attend to."
"..."
Chen Qiankun hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "I truly haven't seen anyone busier than you in Qingzhou. Speak quickly, what does General Shen need from this old man?"
"The Yangchun River Serpent Dragon."
Shen Yi proceeded to tell the news he had received from the Green-Faced Lion Demon.
As he spoke, Chen Qiankun and Liu Yuquan's faces turned grim.
"The Moonhowling Demon King wants to assist that old serpent dragon in breaking through?"
The old man's voice suddenly became serious. He had barely managed to cross the second barrier of the Essence Condensation Realm, barely capable of dealing with that old serpent dragon. If the other party broke through again, only You Longtao and Jiang Qiulan among all the Qingzhou commanders would be able to handle it.
However, General You was already busy to the point of being unable to spare a clone, and Jiang Qiulan wasn't skilled at dealing with demons in rivers.
Unconsciously, Chen Qiankun wanted to send a message to the Commander.
But as expected of an experienced old general, he reacted instantly: "Could it be that the Demon King has some scheme and wants to use this old man's hand to restrain the Commander at Yangchun River?"
The Martial Immortal's shadow soul was indeed formidable, but how could these vast rivers be so easily dealt with?
If the old dragon didn't show up for a day, would the Commander's shadow soul have to guard the riverbank for a day?
"You..."
Liu Yuquan helplessly opened his mouth. General Shen had already made his intentions clear. A white deer had died among the demons, and Qingzhou had to pay with a life. Among them, Old General Chen was old and weak, and his strength wasn't outstanding, making him the easiest target.
They want your life, and you're still worried about something else.
He couldn't help but advise: "General Shen's meaning is for you to temporarily avoid the brunt of the attack."
"..."
Shen Yi remained silent, wondering when he had ever meant that.
Chen Qiankun noticed the change in his expression: "But it's fine to speak up, no need to hold back."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi also stopped being polite and stood up: "Please have the old master sit by the riverbank, and if possible, try to be more high-profile."
With these words, the remaining two fell silent.
As expected of a demon hunter, this method of handling matters was indeed familiar.
"I understand. You want to confirm the dragon's position to prevent it from finding me and causing havoc elsewhere."
Chen Qiankun struggled to find polite phrasing.
He really didn't want to describe himself as bait for the dragon.
"But even if General Chen lures out the old dragon, how should we deal with it?" Liu Yuquan asked subconsciously. Before he could finish, he found the old general giving him a cold glance.
He fell silent, not knowing where he had spoken out of turn again.
Chen Qiankun adjusted his breathing. He finally understood the expectation in the youth's eyes; he wanted something... He wanted the old man's life.
But he also wanted to know the answer, and the old master curiously looked at the youth.
Shen Yi calmly said: "Leave the rest to me."
"Hiss!"
Liu Yuquan tugged at his hair, this familiar feeling instantly taking him back to a month ago when he went to Baiyun County to slay a fox demon.
The opponent had the same expression and tone, and then calmly skinned the fox.
But the problem now was that they were no longer facing a fox demon at the Profound Core Perfection Realm, but an old dragon at the Embryo Pill Realm, and right in front of the river where it had lived for thousands of years...
"I understand."
Chen Qiankun nodded and then said seriously: "You really want this old man's life."
Before Shen Yi could speak, the old master laughed: "As far as I know, General Shen has never disappointed anyone."
Indeed, there was no better solution at the moment.
He also stood up: "The only problem is that I really don't know how to be high-profile. Give me some time to prepare."
Shen Yi lightly nodded: "Then I won't disturb the old general any further."
He wasn't skilled in such matters and couldn't offer any advice.
However, the old master's easy agreement surprised Shen Yi a little. He didn't expect to be so trusted in the old general's heart.
He quickly walked out of the hall.
After about a dozen steps, he suddenly heard a faint voice from behind.
"Send a message to Jiang Qiulan and ask her to come quickly to save me."
Shen Yi: "..."
