Chapter 205: The Lady from the Thousand Demon Cavern
Chapter 205: The Lady from the Thousand Demon Cavern
Linjiang Prefecture.
With Elder Chen Qiankun's return, it was becoming increasingly difficult to find a decent demonic calamity in the area.
Shen Yi no longer had a reason to stay.
After finishing dinner and spending one more night, he decided it was time to leave.
"Where are you headed?"
Upon hearing about the recent events in the prefecture, Lin Baiwei suddenly looked at him with anticipation, "Actually, I'm quite skilled at finding demons."
While she might not be of much use at the Core Formation Stage, Shen Yi seemed to not even spare those at the Jade Purity Stage.
Just then, Jiang Qiulan entered the room with a letter in hand, "The Commander has asked us to return, saying there's an important matter to discuss."
The Commander, an important matter? Shen Yi slightly raised his eyes, guessing the reason.
Last time, they had sent the essence energy of the Little Demon King to the Martial Temple, and after so many days, the result should be ready.
"It's probably not bad news." Jiang Qiulan had already read the letter, and between the lines, there was a hint of gentleness, a demeanor rarely shown by the Martial Immortal stationed in Qingzhou.
Lin Baiwei couldn't understand what the two were talking about, but she knew it was something she couldn't be involved in, so she quietly sat by the side.
"Let's go."
Shen Yi stood up and nodded slightly towards the young girl.
He also wanted to discuss something with the Commander. After dealing with small demons day after day, even Shen Yi, who was used to great harvests, felt a little uncomfortable.
The same punch, but different results.
Sometimes, he could harvest the lifespan of a thousand-year-old demon, while other times, he only got a few decades' worth.
Since the Moonhowling Demon King made the Commander vigilant at all times, the Demon King should have some reaction to the Commander's departure from Qingzhou.
If the other party was willing to take a risk...
The Dao Infant was just a step away from shattering the Inner Core, and it urgently needed a Demon Pill to replenish itself. With his current strength, he might not be able to kill the Moonhowling Demon King, but the group of Demon Beasts guarding the Inner Core was making Shen Yi's mouth water.
"Hmm."
Lin Baiwei also stood up, asking no further questions. She simply accompanied Shen Yi to the entrance of the mansion.
After traveling a long way with Grandfather Chen to Linjiang Prefecture, they had only shared a meal and a brief chat before she had to watch Shen Yi leave again.
However, she didn't show any disappointment.
Shen Yi had more important matters to attend to, and she needed to focus on her own tasks.
Elder Chen Qiankun decided to lend his mount to Jiang Qiulan.
Given the current situation in Linjiang Prefecture, the old man felt he no longer needed this fine steed.
As they disappeared from sight, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Lin Baiwei, "Don't worry, the next time I see him, I'll let you know."
...
Outside Qingzhou, at the Demon King's Mansion.
Two maids in white stood outside, one holding a sword and the other an umbrella.
Their faces were fair and delicate, but their expressions were indifferent, and their voices lacked any emotion, "Where is the Demon King of this place?"
Inside the mansion, twelve Demon Lords rose to greet them.
The Elephant Demon walked at the forefront, bowing respectfully, "May I ask which Immortal has come to visit?"
The sword-holding maid glanced at her indifferently, "The Blood Transmuting Demon Emperor of the Thousand Demon Cavern."
Upon hearing this, the Elephant Demon's robust body stiffened, cold sweat forming on his back, and he felt nothing but bitterness in his heart.
What were the people of Dagan doing, allowing a Demon Emperor to enter so boldly? Taking in the expressions of the group of demons, the sword-holding maid revealed a cold smile, "Quickly, bring out your Demon King."
"The Demon King... is not in the mansion."
The group of demons exchanged glances, stepping aside to reveal the empty mansion, "Don't worry, we'll go inform the Demon King immediately."
What nonsense! Ever since the Dog Demon left, the Moonhowling Demon King had never returned to the mansion. Who knows where it had gone?
Two maids exchanged a glance before turning to look into the distance.
In the distance, by a stream, a figure in a black cloak slowly lifted their hood, revealing a stunningly beautiful face. Their hair was styled into an elegant bun, and their eyes and brows were like a painting. With her lips tightly pressed, she exuded a captivating allure.
The figure beneath the cloak had a graceful and voluptuous body, with curves that were enticing and full of allure.
If not for the small horns hidden in her hair, one would never guess she was a demon.
Her narrow eyes had a hint of redness at the corners, adding a touch of sorrow to her cold expression. "I don't care where it is. Within two hours, if it doesn't appear in Qingzhou, I'll take its life."
It wasn't until she removed her hood that the group of Demon Lords suddenly sensed her aura.
Another Demon King, and one with an even more formidable presence than the Moonhowling Demon King.
Clang!
One of the maids drew half of her sword, and with a cold glance, she swept her gaze over the others.
These country bumpkin demons, not knowing their place, dared to stare at the Lady.
"We understand!"
The demons quickly bowed, itching with curiosity but not daring to take another look.
The woman closed her eyes and then put her hood back on.
Her husband and his subordinates were entangled with the murderous Pine Mountain Immortal, so she had secretly come to Dagan, taking a huge risk.
If her face were to be recognized, who knew how many people would try to report her to the Immortal Sect for a reward.
But how could she not come?
He was her only son!
Only by taking the lives of those in a state could she ease the hatred in her heart.
Quickly, she thought, and with a slight step forward, her figure vanished from sight.
The two maids followed suit.
"Where is she going?"
The demons exchanged glances, unsure of how much time had passed. An old wolf slowly approached from the distance.
The Moonhowling Demon King stood with his arms crossed, feeling the essence blood he had sent out earlier had gone completely silent. He clicked his tongue in slight admiration, "Now that's ruthless."
He had thought the old dog was quite capable, but it was so foolish to let him implant his essence blood and control its consciousness. After this matter was resolved, he had planned to recruit it as a vanguard, but now it was dead.
A smile appeared on the Moonhowling Demon King's face.
He had been at the mercy of the Lesser Demon King, who had found his weakness. Now, needing its help, he was using the lives of his subordinates to play some fair duel game, even calling him 'old thing' all the time.
Even if they took Qingzhou, with its bizarre ability to devour living beings and turn them into demon blood, it wouldn't leave any meat, let alone soup, for others.
After it finished consuming the twelve prefecture cities, the Moonhowling Demon King didn't think there would be any room for him to speak in this place.
Finally, he had managed to extricate himself.
The Thousand Demon Cavern against the Demon Suppression Bureau... Tch tch.
With their attitude, he didn't need to think about establishing any connections.
The old wolf's eyes gleamed with greed. First, they would take Qingzhou, and then, when they fought, he hoped they would both be severely injured. Then, he could consider devouring the Moonhowling Demon King and General Jiangan, and the sky would be the limit.
In a few hundred or even a thousand years, the Moonhowling Demon King would become the Demon Emperor, and the Thousand Demon Cavern would have to respectfully invite him in.
"Each of you, prepare. When Qingzhou is in chaos, take the opportunity to kill your way in."
The Moonhowling Demon King waved his hand lazily, a hint of ridicule in his eyes.
Take my life?
When my wife died, I didn't even blink, and now I'm losing my composure over the death of a son? You're not worthy. He shook his head and strolled towards Qingzhou without haste.
