Chapter 333: Ruthless and Heartless
Chapter 333: Ruthless and Heartless
"Many thanks, Senior Shen!"
Ma Guangshan had no right to act generous in front of Senior Shen. Since the other party had given it, he naturally had to accept it. He gratefully placed the Treasure Pill into his storage treasure.
This senior was truly different from most cultivators. Though not exactly approachable, he didn't make one feel like he was receiving a favor, nor did he bully others with his strength.
Things were what they were.
In the world of cultivators, such a simple thing was already rare and precious.
"Senior Shen, I have something to tell you."
Ma Guangshan patted his storage bag. "Actually, I'm not a coward. The reason I didn't dare to enter is that the place we're going has another senior causing trouble."
"What senior?"
Shen Yi took a step toward the exit of the teahouse.
"I'm not sure... but they keep provoking the Crimson Heart Serpent Sovereign. That demon sovereign loves to hibernate, but recently has been constantly disturbed, often leaving its lair. Many people have been scared away."
Ma Guangshan sighed, helplessly saying, "You see, for a small cultivator like me, avoiding those demons is hard enough. I wish they would just stay asleep so I could gather more treasures. Those senior sages neither slay demons nor snatch treasures; they just play around with the demon sovereign. It's truly a case of some dying of thirst..."
Hearing this, Shen Yi pondered for a moment.
He suddenly remembered the Youwei Demon Sovereign from last time.
Right... how could he forget that?
The experts from Wutong Mountain were drawing the attention of the Thousand Demons Cave. This was a great opportunity to pick up some leftovers. Even if other demon sovereigns' lairs didn't have treasures like the Dark Tail Spear, there should still be some heavenly materials and treasures.
Shen Yi had just broken through to the Divine Transformation realm and had no clear plan for the future. But it was always good to prepare in advance. When he needed something later, he wouldn't have to search for spirit roots one by one like he did when he was at the Hunyuan realm.
"Let's head to the lair first."
Shen Yi resumed his steps.
"Whatever you say."
Ma Guangshan smiled. He could tell from the change in Shen Yi's expression that his information was useful.
Since Senior Shen was generous, he, Ma Guangshan, shouldn't be stingy.
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them simultaneously took to the clouds, leaving the Demon Suppressing City and heading toward the massive archway.
...
At the northern part of the Thousand Demons Cave, outside the Crimson Heart Mountain.
A man in a bright red robe, with a soft and gentle demeanor, stood with one hand behind his back and the other slightly raised. His fingers, much longer than a normal person's, twitched slightly, and golden threads like silkworm silk emerged from his fingertips.
They fell onto the mountain, merging with the ground.
Suddenly, the entire mountain became scorching hot.
Stimulated, the mountain body trembled violently, and a massive snake body covered in dark red scales emerged from the forest. It suddenly raised its head, shooting up a hundred or so feet, and lunged at the empty space!
"Hiss..."
Yu Chaoyan, watching the fierce snake head just a short distance away, couldn't help but twitch his eyes.
This little earthworm might not be a match for Daoist sir, but being bitten by it would certainly not be pleasant.
However, the man in the red robe didn't even glance at the giant snake.
He clearly didn't think the other side could detect him.
Clearly, he was using some kind of concealment technique.
Sure enough, the Crimson Heart Serpent Sovereign closed its eyes to sense for a moment, then flew off in a rage toward the distance.
"How much longer do we have to play this game?"
The man in the red robe glanced sideways at Yu Chaoyan. "I'm getting a bit tired of it."
After Nie Jun killed the Blood Transformation Demon Sovereign, Master was already somewhat displeased. Wutong Mountain wasn't yet ready for a full-scale confrontation with the Thousand Demons Cave.
Killing was out of the question, and it was a waste of time.
"I didn't want to come here either."
Yu Chaoyan glanced in the direction of the Youwei Demon Sovereign's Immortal Mansion, a lingering fear in his eyes as he withdrew his gaze. "If it weren't for Tong Shidi being here, Dao Ye wouldn't bother with this troublesome matter."
"Master Sister said so."
He took out a mirror, "First, we'll test their courage. Anyone brave enough to come here has passed the first test."
That's why he deliberately didn't inform those little things that a senior was watching over them.
"What courage is there to test? Anyone who isn't a pig-headed fool can guess that Wutong Mountain wouldn't send them here to their deaths."
Tong Xincuan disdainfully curled her lips.
"But four pig-headed fools have already been eliminated... However, even if they guessed, this is still a Demon Sovereign approaching the late-stage of Soul Transformation. The oppressive feeling from a Hunyuan Realm cultivator isn't something one can ignore just by knowing it exists."
Yu Chaoyan chuckled, "The second test is about their methods. There's a lingering aura of the Demon Sovereign in the Serpent Cavern. How they enter, what they take, and how they leave afterward, all have their own solutions."
"What would Tong Shidi do?" he asked curiously.
"Go in directly, take the serpent eggs, and seriously injure the others. The faster, the better." Tong Xincuan replied concisely.
"That's why I said we're not in the same boat. You're too vicious."
Yu Chaoyan pouted and took out a brass mirror, "But these two should be similar to what you're thinking."
In the brass mirror, Feng Huasheng and Zhuo Ya protected the woman in the middle as they cautiously approached Crimson Heart Mountain.
"Master Sister's final instructions."
Indifference flashed in Yu Chaoyan's eyes as he said coldly, "If someone dares to use Tong Shidi's method, then you can go ahead and release the Crimson Heart Serpent Sovereign by undoing the array formation."
"Idiot."
Tong Xincuan raised her eyelids, seemingly finding it rather uninteresting.
Yu Chaoyan stared at the brass mirror, his expression changing back to what it was before, "Being vicious isn't the issue, but it requires matching it with sufficiently strong methods. Otherwise, it will only bring disaster to Wutong Mountain."
"If they can survive like this, Master Sister wouldn't mind taking them as disciples."
"I'm curious, how would a Hunyuan Realm cultivator survive in the hands of the Serpent Sovereign?" Tong Xincuan asked indifferently.
"Connections? Luck? It doesn't matter. As long as those two little brats die, I'll save that little girl."
Yu Chaoyan stretched lazily, his smile widening.
"How do you know there are two brats?" Tong Xincuan's face also showed a hint of a smile.
Upon hearing this, Yu Chaoyan was taken aback for a moment before looking into the brass mirror.
The three of them had already arrived outside Crimson Heart Mountain.
Feng Huasheng furrowed his brows as he looked at the entire scorching hot mountain. He glanced at Zhuo Ya and then squeezed out a worried expression, "Was that the Crimson Heart Serpent Sovereign who left earlier? I find it strange. What does Jiang Daoyou think?"
"You have more experience than us, the young masters of prominent families. Can you come up with a solution?" Zhuo Ya also nervously tightened her sleeves.
"..."
Under the black hood, Jiang Qiulan's pitch-black eyes remained calm.
As her red lips slightly parted, "Let's go in directly."
This short sentence caused both of them to pause, "Isn't this too reckless?"
"If we delay any longer, it will return."
Jiang Qiulan didn't explain further and directly transformed into a frost sword aura, swiftly heading towards the mountain.
Feng Huasheng and Zhuo Ya exchanged glances, gritting their teeth as they followed suit.
Damn, how did these loose cultivators survive until now without any brains?
"..."
Seeing this, Yu Chaoyan fell silent.
"Hehe."
Tong Xincuan couldn't help but laugh out loud, her gentle face becoming even more sinister, "If you don't want to save them, then I'll do it."
