Chapter 316: The Revitalization of Qingqiu (Thanks to the Alliance Leader, the Recluse Apprentice)
The tea splashed, soaking the hem of You Longtao's robe.
He had replaced his old black armor and donned the long gown he favored during his leisure time.
After his master's departure, You Longtao took over the incense fire wish power of the entire Qingzhou, swiftly ascending to the position of Martial Immortal.
His brother Shen had left him a stable and harmonious Qingzhou.
You Longtao had thought that he would no longer have to face the pressures his master once endured, nor would he need to sacrifice anything, and could be a carefree Commander of the Armies.
Until half a month ago, when this fox demon strolled into Qingzhou City with an air of arrogance.
The moment he saw it, You Longtao suddenly snapped out of his joy from breaking through to the Martial Immortal realm.
The overwhelming pressure he felt was even more terrifying than when he faced the Roaring Moon Demon King during his Embrace Dan Realm.
The fox demon of Qingqiu had finally found its way here.
You Longtao had anticipated this, but he still couldn't understand why the death of a single fox demon in the Embrace Dan Realm would attract such a formidable existence.
Repeated pleas for help were sent to the Imperial Capital.
The only response came from the Demon Suppressing Office, stating that the Inspector General was away on business and temporarily unable to manage Qingzhou.
Additionally, the letter hinted at another crisis in Da Qian.
The only consolation was that the fox demon had no intention of taking action for the time being; it merely humiliated these old generals, trampling their dignity and making them its lackeys.
The Demon-Slaying General had become a servant to the demon.
"Go."
You Longtao slowly turned around, using a calm tone to soothe the emotions of the crowd.
Indeed, he was a rather clumsy person.
His master knew to seek aid from the Princess Consort of Ji, but he couldn't even think of such a chilling solution. It was only after assuming this position that he realized it was better to have a cold heart than a cold corpse.
This was Da Qian's territory.
But the fox demon's backers seemed far more powerful than his own.
"As you command."
As the senior general, Chen Qiankun was the only one to step forward and accept the order.
He led his colleagues out of the courtyard.
This embarrassing task might continue for a long time, as even in this situation, no one had considered betraying that young man.
The name Shen Yi had long become a taboo in Qingzhou, forbidden to be mentioned.
"Hmph!"
A Qian angrily strode past Chen Qiankun and hurried out of the courtyard.
The old man shook his head helplessly and was about to follow when he saw the petite figure suddenly stop, looking up in disbelief.
He paused for a moment, then took a few steps forward.
When he saw the familiar face, Chen Qiankun's white beard trembled slightly: "You...how did you return?"
The young man had a slender build and remained handsome.
Unlike before, when he traveled alone, he now had several unfamiliar figures behind him, including a beautiful and gentle woman, as well as middle-aged and elderly men standing with their hands behind their backs.
"Shen Yi pays his respects to the senior general."
Shen Yi gave a slight bow and then stepped into the courtyard.
Chen Qiankun stood still for a moment, unconsciously reaching out to stop him: "No!"
Xu Wanwen looked at him in confusion, and the old man felt an unprecedented pressure...and this was without any malice from the woman.
It was even more terrifying than Jiang Qiuluan.
Where did this young man find such formidable experts?"
As they watched, the group entered the courtyard.
Almost all the Demon-Slaying Generals held their breath. Their backer had returned, and upon hearing that he had become the Inspector General of Da Qian, they wondered if he could restrain the fox demon.
A Qian quickly turned around, and Lin Baiwei, who was also stunned, followed her into the courtyard.
You Longtao also spotted Shen Yi, his breath suddenly becoming hurried, and he glanced sideways at the fox demon. For a moment, he fell silent.
They kept their mouths shut, but the main person of interest walked right in.
"You..."
The change in atmosphere caused the White Feathered Elder's lazy expression to slightly shift. He slowly propped himself up and looked at the few extra people before him.
A Qian's face showed a hint of confusion.
As a monster hunter, she was most adept at observing others' expressions.
Whether it was Shen Yi or the few people behind him, when they saw the fox demon, their faces didn't show the slightest hint of change.
"It seems to be a fox from Green Hill."
A Qing took out a small booklet and hurriedly recorded something for the White Feathered Elder.
This scene left You Longtao in a daze. Was this young girl being too playful, and why did she look like she was in a hurry?
"Who are you?"
The fox demon faintly sensed something amiss and didn't even have the mood to care about the woman's disrespectful address. Subconsciously, it stood up, "This seat is an Elder of Green Hill..."
It reacted swiftly, pinching its magic formula.
The next moment, its wrist was firmly grasped by a slender hand.
Crack—
A bone-chilling sound of bone fracture echoed.
"Ahh!" The White Feathered Elder grimaced in pain.
Shen Yi stood beside it without a glance, releasing its wrist and slapping it across the face with the back of his hand.
Bang!
This seemingly light slap directly caused the fox demon's head to explode.
Blood and shattered bones flowed, staining the tiles a dark red.
Dead... dead?
The crowd's eyelids twitched violently, and it took a long silence before they confirmed that this wasn't the fox demon using some kind of illusion technique.
But it was indeed just that simple—its skull had been smashed.
Unconsciously, they looked at Shen Yi's palm. Between his distinct knuckles, what kind of power was hidden there?
A Qing sighed, as if accustomed to it, and put away her small notebook. It was another day of recording nothing.
Xu Hongde and the Xu Clan's Sixth Ancestor exchanged a glance, their pupils narrowing.
They indeed didn't put this fox in their eyes. It was just a Primordial Chaos Realm Elder, and a simple array formation would make it beg for death.
But just now, Shen Yi didn't even summon his Dao Infant.
He truly relied solely on his physical body to kill it with a single palm strike.
"Is this Da Qian? What a pretty appearance."
Seeing the matter concluded, Xu Wanwen finally relaxed her serious expression and curiously looked around.
"It's passable."
Shen Yi picked up the fox demon's corpse and, for once, replied to her.
Then he looked at You Longtao, "Anything else?"
"Anything else?"
You Longtao was still immersed in the thick, bloody smell, and he was a bit slow to react, "No more... I think."
After all, the difference in strength was too great. Even if there was something else, it wasn't something a First Stage Martial Immortal like him could discover.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi pondered for a moment and said to A Qing, "Help me watch over Qingzhou. I'll come back for you as soon as possible."
"Ah..."
A Qian was just curiously looking at the bells on A Qian and Lin Baiwei's waists. Upon hearing this, she suddenly felt a bit dejected, but she still obediently nodded, "I understand, Big Brother Shen."
Xu Wanwen, however, silently mocked.
If someone was needed to watch over a place, she, as a Supreme Primordial Grandmaster, would be the best choice.
Clearly, in Shen Yi's eyes, A Qing was much more reliable than her.
"..."
A Qian finally shifted her gaze from the crimson on the ground to the small girl whose aura was similar to hers.
Could she watch over Qingzhou?
