Chapter 198: Returning to Qingzhou
Chapter 198: Returning to Qingzhou
"I'll tell you!"
"Now!"
"Get up immediately and follow me to flatten Qingzhou!"
The Moonhowling Demon King's figure swayed slightly, and his sharp claws dug into his own face, suppressing the panic that had inadvertently slipped out.
The Dog Demon understood what the other party was fearing.
Once the Lesser Demon King died and Jiang Qiulan broke through, it would be the end for Xiao Yue.
It struggled to break free from the other's grip and cried out in despair, "Don't give me orders here! I have to go back... I have to report to the Lady and the Master."
With the Lesser Demon King dead, it knew it wouldn't survive.
But how could it let the Lesser Demon King die in vain, without a sound?
"You!"
The Dog Demon staggered a few steps, then suddenly remembered the other's previous kindness. It clenched its teeth and panted, "You don't have to worry..."
The Master couldn't easily set foot in Da Qian, but the Lady would definitely not let these beasts off the hook.
It turned and ran wildly towards the west, like a stray dog.
"...Until the Dog Demon's figure disappeared from sight.
"Hmph."
Only then did the Moonhowling Demon King slowly release the claws covering his face... he was about to burst.
Who would willingly be a pawn for an arrogant little thing?
The other party had swallowed Qingzhou and then rewarded him with this one acre of land that was rightfully his.
How generous the words sounded.
Fortunately, he had learned that this little thing was the only son of a family.
Only in such a situation.
Could he be certain that someone from the other party's family would come for revenge, and because of their special identity, it was impossible for them to stay in Da Qian.
He could freely use the human treasure medicine from the entire state.
And at the same time, he could take advantage of the connection with the Thousand Demon Cave, leaving this place and seeking opportunities to break through to higher realms.
Whether it was Jiang Qiulan or the Lesser Demon King who died here today, it was a profitable deal with no losses.
"Five..."
The Moonhowling Demon King turned and slowly strolled towards the cave mansion.
Qingzhou seemed to have gained another incomprehensible existence, and it was time to leave this place... it was best to depart as soon as he was full and satisfied.
Damn General Jiang Yuanhua, he had really starved him for a long time.
...
On the outskirts of Qingzhou.
Aqian and Wu Feng stumbled in.
They saw Shen Yi had changed back into his ink-colored robe, with his arms crossed, leaning against a tree, returning to his previous restrained posture.
If they hadn't witnessed how he killed the Lesser Demon King.
They would have thought this youth was a cultivator nurturing his shadow soul.
"It's truly terrifying."
Aqian supported herself on her knees, quickly adjusting her breath.
"Hmm?"
Shen Yi withdrew his gaze, not giving a clear answer. He actually thought it was fine; the Lesser Demon King was indeed the strongest demon he had ever fought, and he had many artifacts by his side, but it wasn't to the point of being terrifying.
"She might not have been referring to the Lesser Demon King."
Jiang Qiulan stood quietly beside Shen Yi, gazing at his profile, and said softly, "Why didn't you let me take action?"
She really wanted to know the answer.
No one in this world liked trouble, even someone as powerful as him.
"There's no reason."
Shen Yi glanced at the woman, thinking that with a lifespan of nine thousand and eight hundred years, she could still be snatched away.
This was a terrifying number.
Even more than he had anticipated.
As for trouble...
He was used to it anyway. It was just a matter of adding another name to his silent recitations in his heart at night.
He was afraid of death, but if he didn't dare to kill, if he didn't dare to act, he would have died in Baiyun County long ago.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qiulan took a deep breath.
She slowly shifted her gaze elsewhere.
The sharpness in her clear eyes gradually softened.
Wu Feng stared intently at the silver bell on Shen Yi's waist, a renowned demon hunter of Qingzhou, he couldn't believe that there was another formidable individual who could effortlessly subdue the Lesser Demon King.
With such strength, he would believe it if someone said the Moonhowling Demon King had taken over his body.
That Lesser Demon King had hidden so many deadly moves.
If not for Shen Yi's presence, and without alarming the Moonhowl Wolf King, perhaps Jiang Qiulan could have survived, but the two demon hunters would have certainly met their end.
So many high-grade artifacts...
Wait.
Suddenly, Wu Feng realized something, "No, you two didn't react at all. With its extravagance, its family background must be..."
Before he could finish, Jiang Qiulan and Shen Yi gave him a calm glance.
Aqian, standing beside them, gave Wu Feng a small punch in frustration, "Don't be foolish."
These two young people had probably figured everything out the moment the Lesser Demon King took out the bronze mirror, and in the end, they were still helping each other out.
"Alright, it's all settled now. I'll send a message to the Martial Temple after I return... General Shen, please give me that strand of essence energy, so the people at the Martial Temple can carefully identify its identity. With such a profound background, it's most likely from the Thousand Demon Cavern."
Aqian heaved a long sigh of relief.
The matter wasn't over yet, but it was no longer something Qingzhou could be involved in; it was a matter of life and death.
Since it was out of their hands, there was no need to worry.
"No reward?"
Shen Yi took out the essence energy from the silver bell.
"Hmm... They probably want to kill us now."
Aqian smacked her lips, she didn't care about that.
To hell with the big picture, she was Qingzhou's demon hunter, and she would do her duty for Qingzhou. General Jiangan was a fool, only knowing how to bully his own people.
"Haha, I can't wait to see the look on the Commander's face, it'll drive him crazy!" She laughed maniacally again.
"..."
Shen Yi silently gazed into the void, and with the Mountain Lord's innate talent, a shadow soul resembling the Commander appeared behind Aqian, its expression calm.
Then, it slightly nodded at Shen Yi in gratitude.
Shen Yi responded with a slight nod.
He continued to watch with interest as Aqian ranted, and with each curse, the Commander's eyes showed more exasperation.
He had no intention of reminding Jiang Qiulan.
After all, although the Commander had arrived, he was still standing on Qingzhou's side, and in the end, he didn't take that final step.
General Jiangan turned his gaze back to Shen Yi.
Amidst Aqian's nagging, the details of the Lesser Demon King's defeat became clearer.
So, everything he had arranged over the years...
In the end, it was all for naught because of a youth who suddenly emerged from Baiyun County.
The youth joined the Demon Suppression Bureau but didn't stay at the Commander's mansion. Instead, he left his junior disciple and headed to Shuiyun Village, then to Qingfeng Mountain... Advancing at an incomprehensible speed to reach his current realm.
And then, with the simplest and most brutal method, he shattered his nightmare.
General Jiangan's gaze fell upon the golden-patterned scabbard at the youth's waist.
Suddenly, he heard the voices of many people asking if he regretted his decision.
If he had known beforehand, of course, he would have regretted it, but such good fortune was rare in this world, so he didn't regret it.
He withdrew his gaze and left the place.
"Old lady, let's go!"
Wu Feng rolled his eyes and pulled Aqian up, placing her on his shoulder.
The death of the Lesser Demon King had clearly changed everyone's mindset.
Except for Shen Yi.
He only wanted to return quickly, try out his newly acquired artifact, and make the Lesser Demon King his new foundation.
