Chapter 198: Returning to Qingzhou Once More
Chapter 198: Returning to Qingzhou Once More
"I'll tell you!"
"Now!"
"Get up immediately and follow me to raze Qingzhou!"
The Howling Moon Demon King swayed slightly, his sharp claws pressing against his face to suppress the unintended panic that leaked out.
The Dog Demon certainly understood what the other party was afraid of.
If the Little Demon King died and Jiang Qiuluan broke through, it would be the end for Howling Moon.
It struggled desperately to break free from the other's grip, also falling apart, "Don't you dare give me orders here. I need to go back... I need to report this to the Lady and the Master."
Now that the Little Demon King was dead, it knew it wouldn't survive for long.
But how could it let the Little Demon King die here in vain, without a sound?
"You!"
The Dog Demon stumbled a few steps, then suddenly remembered the other's kindness from earlier. Gritting its teeth, it panted, "You don't have to worry...”
The Master may not be able to set foot in Da Qian easily, but the Lady would never let these beasts off.
It turned and ran wildly towards the west, like a bereaved dog.
"..."
Until the Dog Demon's figure disappeared from sight.
"Pfft."
Only then did the Howling Moon Demon King slowly release his claw from his face... He was really about to burst.
Who would willingly be a pawn for an arrogant little brat?
The other party wanted to devour Qingzhou and then hand over this land that already belonged to him.
How generous those words sounded.
Fortunately, he had found out that this little brat was an only child.
Only in this situation.
Could he be certain that the other party's family would definitely come for revenge and that, due to their special identity, they would never stay in Da Qian.
He could freely use the human elixir in this state.
And at the same time, take advantage of his connection with the Thousand Demon Cave to leave this place and seek opportunities to break through to higher realms.
Whether it was Jiang Qiuluan or the Little Demon King who died here today, it was a profitable deal with no losses.
"Five more..."
The Howling Moon Demon King turned and slowly strolled towards the cave mansion.
Qingzhou seemed to have gained another existence that he couldn't understand, and this place was no longer one he could stay in for long... It was better to leave as soon as possible after filling his belly.
Damn Jiang Yuanhua, he had really starved for a long time.
...
On the fringes of Qingzhou.
Aqian and Wu Feng rushed in, disheveled.
They saw that Shen Yi had already changed back into his ink-colored robe, his arms crossed as he leaned against a tree, returning to his previous restrained demeanor.
If they hadn't witnessed how he killed the Little Demon King with their own eyes.
They would really think that this young man was a cultivator who had cultivated the Yin God.
"It's really terrifying."
Aqian braced herself with her hands on her knees, quickly adjusting her breath.
"Hmm?"
Shen Yi retracted his gaze noncommittally. He actually didn't think it was that bad. The Little Demon King was indeed the strongest demon he had ever faced, and he had many treasures, but it wasn't enough to describe it as terrifying.
"She might not have been talking about the Little Demon King."
Jiang Qiuluan stood quietly beside Shen Yi, gazing at his profile, and asked softly, "Why didn't you let me make a move?"
She really wanted to know the answer.
No one in this world liked trouble, even someone as strong as him.
"There's no reason."
Shen Yi glanced at the woman. Nine thousand eight hundred years of life force—and she still wanted to take it from him.
This was a terrifyingly huge number.
Even more than he had anticipated.
As for trouble...
He was already used to it anyway. It was just a matter of adding another name to the list when he silently recited them at night.
He was indeed afraid of death, but if he didn't even dare to kill or move, he probably would have died in Boyun County long ago.
Hearing this, Jiang Qiuluan took a deep breath.
Slowly, she averted her gaze.
That Little Demon King had indeed hidden many deadly tricks up his sleeve.
If it weren't for Shen Yi's presence today, and without alerting Howling Moon, Jiang Qiuluan might have survived, but the two demon catchers would have undoubtedly perished.
Such a large number of high-quality treasures...
Wait a minute.
Wu Feng suddenly realized something: "No, didn't you two realize that with his extravagance, his family background must be..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Jiang Qiuluan and Shen Yi glance at him indifferently.
Aqian, standing next to him, gave Wu Feng a small punch and said, "Don't embarrass yourself."
These two young people must have figured everything out the moment the Little Demon King took out the bronze mirror. Instead, they were now helping each other take on more trouble.
"Alright, it's fine now. I'll send a message to the Martial Temple after I return... General Shen, please give me that strand of qi and blood, so that the people at the Martial Temple can carefully identify the identity. With such a profound background, more or less, it should be someone from the Thousand Demon Cave."
Aqian let out a long sigh of relief.
What came next was not a resolution, but the realization that the matter had escalated beyond Qingzhou's reach, and their fates were now in the hands of destiny.
Since that was the case, there was no point in worrying about it anymore.
"No reward?" Shen Yi asked as he took out the strand of qi and blood from the silver bell.
"Hmm... They probably want to slap us to death right now," Aqian replied, smacking her lips. She didn't really care about the reward.
What bullshit grand scheme? She was a demon catcher of Qingzhou, so it was only natural for her to do what was best for Qingzhou. As for Jiang Yuanhua, he was just a stupid dog who knew how to bully his own people.
"Hahaha! I can't wait to see the look on the General's face right now. I hope he gets so angry that he dies!" She laughed maniacally again.
"..." Shen Yi remained silent and looked into the void. With the blessing of the Mountain Spirit's talent,
A Yin God that resembled the General stood behind Aqian, his expression calm.
He then slightly nodded his chin towards Shen Yi in gratitude.
Shen Yi nodded slightly in response.
He continued to watch with amusement as Aqian ranted and raved, and with each insult, the General's look of helplessness intensified.
He had no intention of reminding Jiang Qiuluan about the General's presence.
After all, although the General had come, he had stayed within the boundaries set by Qingzhou, and ultimately, he had not taken the next step.
Jiang Yuanhua turned his gaze back to Shen Yi.
As Aqian rambled on, the details of how the Little Demon King was slain became clearer and clearer.
And so, everything he had arranged over the years had come to this.
In the end, it was all undone by a young man who had suddenly appeared from Boyun County.
The other party had joined the Demon-Subduing Force, choosing not to stay at the General's mansion, but instead, leaving his apprentice behind and heading to Shuiyun Village, then to Qingfeng Mountain... Along the way, he had advanced at a speed that others couldn't comprehend, reaching the realm he was in now.
And then, in the simplest and most brutal way, he had shattered his nightmare.
Jiang Yuanhua's eyes fell on the golden-patterned scabbard at Shen Yi's waist.
Suddenly, he heard the voices of many people in his ear, asking if he regretted his actions.
If he could have known the consequences beforehand, of course, he would have regretted it. But there were no such good things in this world, so in the end, he did not regret it.
He averted his gaze and turned to leave the place.
"Come on, old lady! Let's go!"
Wu Feng rolled his eyes and pulled Aqian up, placing her on his shoulder.
The death of the Little Demon King had clearly affected everyone's state of mind.
Everyone except Shen Yi.
He just wanted to get back as soon as possible, try out the new treasure he had obtained, and make the Little Demon King a part of his own foundation.
