Chapter 242: A Trap Riddled with Flaws
Chapter 242: A Trap Riddled with Flaws
"Inviting a deity is easy, but sending one away is difficult. I hope the Patrol Commander understands."
Lady Lin, holding her sword, bowed respectfully, "If there's anything I, as a disciple of the Artifact Sect, can assist with, please don't hesitate to ask. I dare not show the slightest negligence."
The Green Hill foxes were generally non-confrontational, maintaining a harmonious and profitable attitude towards both the Thousand Demon Cavern and the Great Tian Dynasty.
Moreover, they had some involvement in various skills and arts.
When the Artifact Sect invited them, they never imagined it would cause trouble.
It wasn't until this time, when they used the Artifact Sect's name to deliver a message to Qingzhou, that they felt something was amiss, even though they didn't know the specific reason.
"I understand," Shen Yi nodded, seeing the other party off from the headquarters.
With this little information, it was difficult to guess what the Green Hill foxes were up to.
However, he wasn't overly concerned.
Knowing that the Artifact Sect in Li Prefecture possessed a considerable amount of demon life span was sufficient.
A situation like the one in Songzhou was quite rare.
Almost all the states with some strength managed their territories well, and after waiting for so many days, Shen Yi even proactively sought out a few Demon-Slaying Generals to inquire, but still didn't get the news he wanted.
There weren't many generals like General Jiangan who kept a constant eye on the Demon King.
Most Martial Immortals above the Middle Realm only needed to reside in the General's Mansion, and their reputation for killing was enough to intimidate the demon hordes.
This wasn't a good thing for Shen Yi.
However, he didn't feel overly troubled. It was best to minimize situations like the one in Songzhou.
"Let's go."
Shen Yi, accompanied by Lin Baiwei, left the headquarters and found the carriage parked on the street.
He stopped and bowed solemnly, "Shen Yi greets General Chen."
"This humble subordinate, Chen Qiankun, pays his respects to the Patrol Commander."
The elder got out of the carriage and exchanged greetings, each going their separate ways without causing any inconvenience.
In the short time they stopped at the Martial Temple, Chen Qiankun had heard countless times about Shen Yi from others, leaving him with a myriad of emotions.
Now, seeing this young man in the temple priest's blue robe, still unyielding and dignified, Chen Qiankun felt as if he had returned to the time when he was at Green Peak Mountain.
The two exchanged glances, smiled, and shook their heads, both deciding to forgo these formalities.
"Why aren't you staying in the temple?"
Shen Yi calculated the time it would take to refine the elixir, which would take at least two days, and the other party had been waiting in the carriage the entire time.
"I was waiting for you."
Chen Qiankun glanced at Lin Baiwei and waved her away.
The young girl curiously looked over but obediently walked to a distance.
When only the two of them remained, Chen Qiankun's eyebrows furrowed, and his expression turned solemn, "Actually, General Yu sent me to find you and General Jiangan. He wanted to ask if you had any news about the Artifact Sect in Li Prefecture. They suddenly sent a letter..."
"Saying they found a Silver Moon Cold Lotus."
The elder's eyes showed confusion, "I don't know what this is either, but I heard it's a treasure needed by Primordial Realm cultivators, especially favored by grandmasters who cultivate their Dao Infant with cold energy."
"..."
Shen Yi raised his eyebrows, "You should be able to tell that something is amiss, right?"
A Primordial Realm cultivator with an extremely cold Dao Infant, they might as well directly say it was prepared for Jiang Qiulan.
The problem was... who knew she had broken through to the Primordial Realm?
"I see."
Chen Qiankun nodded, "But she still went. You know, in all of Qingzhou, only you can keep her in check."
He sighed, "This Yu Longtao, he doesn't have an ounce of a senior brother's dignity."
"Alright, you two stay here for now." Shen Yi's expression didn't change.
However, Chen Qiankun didn't say more, and his tense heart relaxed considerably.
The young man before him always gave people an inexplicable sense of reassurance.
Shen Yi bid farewell to the two and headed towards the Martial Temple's Second Hall, clearly indicating that General Chen and Lady Lin were talking about the same thing.
Just right, we can do it together.
Silver Moon Cold Lotus... Shen Yi had a rough idea of what this was.
Last time, when he heard from Commander Jiang about the Primordial Sage in Radiant Light Cave who had traded a Mystic Crystal Treasure Fruit with the Martial Temple Ancestor to complete the Dao Infant's heart and enter the Middle Primordial Realm, he was intrigued.
Jiang Qiulan, who had also condensed her Dao Infant with cold energy, would definitely want to take a look.
Shen Yi wondered if his Heaven-Swallowing Demon Infant had cold attributes. His Yin Spirit had already broken through to the next realm.
Looking at the crimson Dao Infant in his qi sea, Shen Yi felt it was time to find some resources for himself.
Even if the news was false, it was worth taking a look.
Moreover, with all the various Primordial Martial Arts he had acquired, it would be a good opportunity to find a suitable Demon to supplement his cultivation.
He entered the Second Hall.
It was already late at night, and the Lin couple had not returned to their room but were waiting in the courtyard.
"Patrol Commander," the two stood up and nodded.
"I'd appreciate it if you could come with me." Shen Yi didn't know where the Lyuzhou Armament Sect was located and needed someone to guide him.
"We are ready."
The couple slightly raised the long swords in their hands. They had also heard about Shen Yi's personality and had expected this.
"Do we need to prepare horses?" Shen Yi asked casually.
The couple glanced at each other and smiled, "General Shen, you're overthinking it. We are from the Armament Sect."
As they spoke, the couple each took out a White Cloud, a top-grade magical artifact.
"No need, I have one."
Shen Yi condensed a red Demon cloud under his feet, and a crimson aura swept through the courtyard.
In front of him, the two White Clouds seemed as harmless as cotton.
"..."
Lin Qingyang watched as Shen Yi instantly soared into the sky, and he was slightly taken aback.
It was clear that the treasure Shen Yi was riding was not from the Armament Sect... and the more he looked at it, the more it resembled something from the Thousand Demon Cavern.
"It must have been obtained from slaying Demons."
Lady Lin followed behind on her cloud, using her eyes to remind her husband not to ask further.
Such a valuable item was not something that anyone could possess, even within the Thousand Demon Cavern.
Lin Qingyang nodded in agreement, and the three of them disappeared into the night.
...
In a small attic in the Martial Armory.
Wu Daolan squatted in the corner, watching Zhu Shixie meditating against the wall, "Are you feeling better?"
"Go... away." Zhu Jue silently turned around and stared blankly at the other wall.
"I just wanted to ask about Shen Shidi's progress." Wu Daolan moved closer.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jue glared at him, as if he had been provoked. He picked up the skeleton and walked out of the attic.
"What's wrong with him?"
Wu Daolan stood up in confusion. Wasn't he allowed to ask?
Moreover, although Zhu Shixie still stuttered when speaking, he seemed different from before. Previously, he would stare blankly without any meaning, but now he appeared to be immersed in some kind of emotion.
His temper had also become much more irritable.
"Without you, I can still eat a hairy pig. Go ask Shen Shidi."
Wu Daolan stepped out of the attic.
He was curious about what Shen Yi could achieve after obtaining sufficient Incense Fire Wish Power.
Thinking of this, the old man hurried towards the First Hall.
He looked at the closed door with a relieved expression, "Is Shen Shidi asleep? I'm here to check on you."
"Shen Shidi?"
"Hey?"
