Chapter 277: Clearwind True Monarch
Chapter 277: Clearwind True Monarch
Under everyone's gaze, Shen Yi seemed to have not heard Yu Yuehu's reminder and strode directly into the teleportation array.
Seeing this, the several Primordial Grandmasters hesitated briefly before swiftly following him.
The scene of the black-robed youth effortlessly battling three Upper Realm Demon Kings was still fresh in their minds.
Besides strength, his background was undoubtedly extraordinary.
They didn't necessarily fear the Radiant Light Cave.
With Zhang Chenlin's arrogant personality, he would inevitably challenge this senior when the time came.
With a senior leading the way, even if they themselves had to fight, the Radiant Light Cave wouldn't be able to remember them all.
One by one, the figures disappeared into the array.
The glow gradually dimmed.
All the Primordial Grandmasters summoned their Dao Infants and prepared for battle.
The next moment, numerous figures appeared before them.
Outside the Daoist Mansion, dozens of people from the Eight Directions Dining Hall gathered, led by Mei Gugang, and in front of her was a robust, thick-necked old man with a greasy gown and calloused hands clutching a tobacco pipe.
Seeing this, Yu Yuehu subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief.
The Eight Directions Dining Hall's intervention was likely to persuade the Radiant Light Cave.
However, they had never involved themselves in others' affairs. What was different today? As Yu Yuehu wondered, he soon spotted Zhang Chenlin and his eyes narrowed slightly.
The reason he didn't see the person at first glance was because this arrogant disciple of the Radiant Light Cave was bowing and acting like a servant beside a wealthy family.
His arrogance had turned into servility, a comical sight.
Beside Zhang Chenlin stood a youthful-looking boy with a simple, long robe and cloth shoes. His hair was tied in a bun, and his face was slightly plump with red lips and white teeth.
Even the Primordial Grandmasters who had just emerged from the array quickly sheathed their weapons and bowed, saying, "We pay our respects to Clearwind True Monarch."
Yu Yuehu, unable to bow due to holding his brother, lowered his head instead.
No wonder someone from the Eight Directions Dining Hall had come.
It turned out that a True Monarch from Wutong Mountain had arrived.
Although Clearwind True Monarch was the youngest among the twelve disciples of Wutong Mountain, his strength was comparable to at least the top twenty Demon Emperors in the Thousand Demon Cavern.
He was undoubtedly a prominent figure!
"You're welcome," Clearwind True Monarch nodded slightly and then scanned the crowd, "Did you encounter any demons inside?"
"I've been guarding here..." Zhang Chenlin raised his head to explain, but the boy glanced at him, causing him to shut his mouth quickly.
"Reporting to Clearwind True Monarch, we did!"
Before anyone else could speak, Yu Yuehu suppressed his anger and maintained his composure.
"From the Thousand Demon Cavern?" The boy lifted his eyelids.
The Primordial Grandmasters replied, "Yes, there were the Golden Saber Demon King, the Black Wind Demon King, and..."
"Nonsense!" Zhang Chenlin gritted his teeth in anger and turned, his face contorting into a fierce expression, "How could I not see any demons when my uncle is still inside? With your abilities, if you had encountered those Demon Kings, would you have survived?"
Hearing this, the Primordial Grandmasters' faces turned slightly cold.
However, they unanimously ignored the matter of Zheng Zisheng, "We admit we can't defeat the Demon Kings, but with a senior's help, there's no need for you to worry."
They conveniently shifted the blame for their previous attack on Zheng Zisheng onto the demons.
Clearwind True Monarch watched as the teleportation array gradually disappeared before his eyes, but still, no one stepped forward.
Then, he glanced once more at the black-robed youth at the front of the crowd.
From their positions, it was clear who they considered a senior.
Thinking about it, he patted Zhang Chenlin's shoulder and said calmly, "My condolences."
"You..."
Zhang Chenlin instinctively wanted to retort, but his body trembled, and then he slapped himself, explaining, "Please forgive me, True Monarch, I'm just too worried about my master."
"It's alright, I came too late."
The youth retracted his hand and shook his head, turning to walk towards the Eight Directions Dining Hall.
This simple action surprised everyone else.
What did he mean? Could it be that the Thousand Demon Cavern had ambushed and successfully captured Zhang Zhenren of Radiant Light Cave within his cave residence?!
Of course, Ah Qing and Chen Zhong knew that the situation was not as the others imagined.
But at this moment, they were all observing with keen eyes.
Just by standing there and witnessing Zhang Mingyang's demise, Radiant Light Cave would want their lives, let alone the fact that the Xu Family and Great Qian Dynasty had conflicts with Radiant Light Cave.
"True Monarch Qingfeng!"
Zhang Chenlin suddenly called out to him, "Can you tell me who it was?"
The youth stopped in his tracks, pondered for a moment, and replied uncertainly, "The White Feather Demon Emperor?"
"But why..."
Zhang Chenlin's figure swayed slightly, as if he was having trouble standing.
The loss of a Transcendent Deity like this was hard to accept, even for Radiant Light Cave.
"Erm."
The youth turned around, concealing the embarrassment in his eyes, "I'm not too sure either."
Upon hearing this, Mei Gugang and the old man instinctively averted their gazes.
Why?
Because the ingredients brought by Senior Nie were from the 19th cave of the Thousand Demon Cavern, the Blood Transformation Demon Emperor.
This was a disaster that would make all factions shut their doors and not venture out.
They could almost imagine the furious Thousand Demon Cavern and how many lives it would take to appease their anger.
The rest was fine, as the Eight Directions Dining Hall, Great Qian Dynasty, and Radiant Light Cave were bound to be involved, the former being the cook and the latter an ally.
Wutong Mountain only had twelve disciples, each stronger than the next.
Nie Jun naturally wasn't afraid of any retaliation. With his character, even if the Eight Directions Dining Hall or their allied forces encountered problems, he would just retaliate later.
Fortunately, True Monarch Qingfeng showed some mercy and helped his senior brother get rid of the trouble.
Thinking of this, Mei Xi Yao glanced discreetly at the crowd.
Many had entered, but less than half had returned, and even the Primordial Sage had suffered heavy casualties.
She had noticed the black-robed youth at the forefront of the crowd earlier.
No wonder he spoke with such confidence when leaving.
So, he was a powerful cultivator with real skills.
"If you don't mind, please join us at the Eight Directions Dining Hall for a moment. We have prepared luxurious delicacies for your enjoyment."
As Mei Gugang's crisp and pleasant voice rang out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
At least in front of True Monarch Qingfeng, Zhang Chenlin wouldn't dare mention the matter of searching him again. Seeing his pale face, they felt a sense of relief.
Serves him right!
"..."
Shen Yi quietly listened to the end, feeling satisfied with the outcome.
It wasn't that he found the Supreme Primordial Grandmaster of Radiant Light Cave to be a formidable opponent. After the Nine Demon Transformation Art was further improved, as long as he didn't encounter any incomprehensible unorthodox methods, he was confident in his abilities.
In the Primordial Realm, he was considered top-notch.
However, there was still a difference between inside and outside the cave residence.
Outside, there were many people with different intentions.
It was best not to waste precious incense fire wish power on unnecessary grudges. Compared to demons, the cost-effectiveness of killing cultivators was too low.
Moreover, considering Radiant Light Cave's foundation, if they truly targeted him with all their might, that would be a real big trouble.
