Chapter 190: The Dao Embryo Opens Its Eyes
Chen Qiankun coughed forcefully twice without turning back, "That's why one should never be idle. I'll go write that letter now."
He quickly walked off in another direction.
True to his status as a Core Formation Realm cultivator, despite his age, he moved with the speed of the wind, disappearing from sight within a few breaths.
Jiang Qiulan's expression remained calm, her eyebrows slightly raised.
Although the old general was a bit clumsy in his cultivation and not particularly powerful, it was precisely because of this that he was far more cautious than the other Demon Suppressing Commanders. He would never let a moment of carelessness cause any trouble in Qingzhou.
After all, asking for aid from younger colleagues was a matter that would damage one's reputation.
But as long as the other party felt the situation was slightly beyond their control, like when they sensed the demon at Qingfeng Mountain, even if the demon hadn't done anything, he would immediately send a message to the Demon Hunters in Yushan Prefecture.
At this moment, he was actually saying such nonsense.
It seemed that he was truly full of confidence.
Jiang Qiulan looked at Shen Yi, and it was clear that the old general's confidence came from the man standing before her.
The girl's lips curved slightly, "I'm curious, what did the old general see that made him put down his worries and caution?"
"I think he's being quite cautious."
Shen Yi stared in the direction where Chen Qiankun had left, feeling a strange sense of admiration for the old man's ability to pretend he didn't see anything.
"There's no need to have General Chen send a message."
Jiang Qiulan walked slowly towards him, "I originally planned to come to Yangchun River to settle this matter, and then find you."
Shen Yi looked back at her in confusion, "Hmm?"
"About seven or eight days ago, the named demons in Qingzhou suddenly started to withdraw."
Jiang Qiulan's voice carried a hint of confusion, "Does this have anything to do with you?"
After their last meeting, she thought Shen Yi needed demon pills, and coincidentally, her cultivation had reached a bottleneck. Sitting idly was useless, so she planned to ask the Demon Suppressing Commanders in other prefectures if they had any news of demons.
However, the replies she received were surprisingly consistent.
The demons that had been wreaking havoc in the twelve prefectures had disappeared without a trace in just a few days.
The only one capable of doing this was Xiao Yue Demon King.
It was as if this old demon king had intentionally given the Demon Suppressing Bureau and the Demon Hunters a break, allowing them to take a breather.
"..."
Shen Yi lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment before shaking her head, "It has nothing to do with me."
The timing didn't match up.
At that time, he had just killed the Green-Faced Lion and the Rabbit Demon, unless General You had also reached the perfection of the Freedom Soaring Technique and rushed to inform the Demon King, there was no way he could have reacted so quickly.
"I feel a bit uncomfortable."
Jiang Qiulan seemed to have gotten used to sharing her true thoughts in front of Shen Yi, "The Lesser Demon King is injured, and according to their usual customs, they would never allow the Demon Suppressing Bureau to have a chance to catch their breath. But now, they've done the opposite, even arranging for the Ancient Dragon to attack General Chen..."
If it weren't for Shen Yi, this matter would likely have succeeded.
Then, the Demon Suppressing Bureau would have been thoroughly enraged.
Jiang Qiulan's doubt lay in this—what was the purpose of Xiao Yue withdrawing the demons and then angering the Demon Suppressing Bureau? It couldn't be that he wanted to lure General Jiangan out.
Xiao Yue Demon King had been facing off against the Commander for so many years, how could he not know that this man's eyes were only on Qingzhou, and he could endure everything else.
"..."
Shen Yi's eyebrows furrowed. She had only killed five of them, and the demons had already started to withdraw.
This was not good news.
When they gathered together, they would naturally discover that several Pill-Cultivating Demon Lords were missing. Even if they didn't know it was her doing, they could deduce that Qingzhou now possessed the ability to silently assassinate them.
What a pity.
As long as there are sufficient Demon Pills and lifespans, both the Immortal Demon Nine Transformations and the Heaven Devouring Core Devouring Technique have the potential to directly break through to the next realm.
According to Shen Yi's previous calculations, the number of Demon Lords under Moonhowling Demon King should be more than enough. With his current strength, as long as there is sufficient information, assassinating them would almost be risk-free.
He was already feeling a bit uncomfortable.
Noticing Shen Yi's expression, Jiang Qiulan pursed her red lips slightly, confirming that she wasn't the only one who felt something was amiss.
She spoke softly, "I want to follow you for a while."
The last time they chatted, her cultivation inexplicably progressed.
"..."
Shen Yi gathered his thoughts and quickly understood the woman's intention, feeling slightly speechless, "I've already said that you can just use a wooden post, and the effect will be the same."
She was stuck at a realm again, and now she was desperately seeking any solution.
"Anyway, I have nothing else to do."
Jiang Qiulan's lips curved upwards, her intention clear.
"With General Shen here, even General Chen doesn't need my help. If I'm not mistaken, the three Demon Lords you mentioned eliminating should be from Tingyang Prefecture, right?"
"You're truly amazing." Her voice lost its indifference and gained a crisp and pleasant tone.
"Not bad."
Shen Yi felt like this conversation had happened somewhere before.
He decided to let her follow him.
Coincidentally, he also had nothing to do at the moment.
Since becoming a Silver Bell Demon Hunter, this was the first time Shen Yi had encountered a dilemma where there were no demons to kill.
He turned and walked towards the residence of the widow and the lunatic.
The two had already cleaned a room thoroughly.
In the courtyard, Chen Elder held a pen, still pondering how to write the letter to make it seem indifferent yet evoke envy from the generals of other prefectures.
The girl in dark armor stood behind him with her hands behind her back, looking at him calmly, "There's even a part for me."
Chen Qiankun coughed twice, crumpling the letter paper for Yushan Prefecture in embarrassment.
Fang Heng respectfully stood up and saluted, secretly laughing in his heart. In Qingzhou, there was indeed no one who wasn't afraid of this senior sister of his.
Inside the tightly shut room.
Shen Yi didn't rest but took out the Demon Pill of the Ancient Dragon from the Silver Bell.
The demon suddenly exhibited unusual movements.
Although he didn't know the reason, it definitely wasn't a good sign.
His current strength had already taken a qualitative leap, but when facing a true Demon King, it still seemed inadequate.
The Dragon Demon Core was already part of the Immortal Demon Nine Transformations, and he planned to use this Demon Pill for the Heaven Devouring Core Devouring Technique.
Opening the panel, he filled the outer pill with the dragon pill.
The vast lifespan of the demon began to dissipate.
One hundred years... six hundred years... one thousand three hundred years...
Shen Yi didn't know how dull and boring the world within the panel was, but within his line of sight, the vibrant life force in his body was rapidly taking shape at a terrifying speed!
A Sky Devouring Inner Core from a Perfect Core Formation Ancient Dragon, containing nearly seven thousand years of cultivation, continuously filled the gaps in the Celestial Demon Outer Pill, and then used this outer pill to nurture the Dao Seed.
The fierce demon energy was entirely devoured by Shen Yi's Dao Seed.
Along the blood-red strands extending from the Dao Seed, a body and head gradually took shape, becoming more and more solid. It curled up within the inner core, like a sleeping infant.
[In the 2670th year, you successfully condensed a Dao Embryo on the Dao Seed. The demon energy comes from heaven and earth, and the Dao Embryo condensed from demon energy is a life form born of heaven and earth. You quietly gaze at its blurred face, and finally, a trace of uncontrollable excitement surges from the bottom of your heart.]
[At this moment, you suddenly discover that it has opened its eyes and is giving you a mocking smile.]
