Chapter 346: Your Treachery Will Not Go Unpunished
"Haha, this time it's much easier."
After sensing the faint auras below, Black Bear heaved a sigh of relief and patted his belly. "Could it be that we've been too lazy, and even Profound Origin Cultivators dare to venture this deep?"
Just as he was about to make a move, Silver-backed Ape King grabbed him.
"What are you doing?" Black Bear turned around in confusion.
"I..."
Silver-backed Ape King glanced at the motionless lion, then glared at Black Bear before reluctantly cursing, "Use your dog brain and think. Last time, there were even Xuan Guang Cave Cultivators here. Do you think they'll let it go this time?"
"Do you think these loose cultivators are capable of obtaining information about the Overseer's Immortal Mansion?"
Hearing this, Black Bear nodded vaguely, "So, we're not guarding anymore?"
Silver-backed Ape King retracted his gaze, unwilling to even look at him.
It seemed he had to explicitly state that the lion should go first.
After a while, the Ape King finally spat, "Go!"
No matter what, if this matter was botched, Thunder Hoof Demon Sovereign would not let them off easily.
Shen Yi remained standing quietly.
Only when Qinghua hurried back did he move towards the light curtain.
Three great demons consecutively entered the light curtain.
After about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, two figures finally appeared in the air.
The first was a middle-aged man in a clean purple robe, and behind him was a woman wearing a black and white Daoist robe.
"Master, should we go in now?"
The woman spread her palm, and in her palm was a slightly disgusting, strange seed.
The seed pulsated slightly, as if drawing something.
"Almost there."
The man in the purple robe lowered his gaze towards the light curtain.
His purpose today was to explore the Immortal Mansion, but his true goal was to capture at least one Demon Sovereign alive.
Xuan Guang Cave had been suffering setbacks recently.
Many disciples had mysteriously disappeared, including Zhang Mingxuan and Liu Jingyuan, who had come together as the mainstays of the sect.
He really wanted to know what had happened.
"Let them split up and escape."
"Disciple understands."
The woman exerted a little force, pinching the seed in her palm, and a dark red liquid resembling blood oozed out from between her fingers.
She glanced at her master beside her.
A hint of reverence appeared in her eyes.
Capturing a Demon Sovereign alive was something others would not even dare to think about.
To bring blessings to the world was a great merit.
Her master was indeed worthy of being on par with Qingfeng True Person.
...
Inside the Immortal Mansion.
Several cultivators were running out when they were suddenly enveloped in black mist.
As Profound Origin Cultivators, they stumbled and fell to the ground, rolling around like boiled shrimp, convulsing and curling up.
"Listen to the Dharma... Listen to the Dharma... Why am I so stupid to believe the lies of Xuan Guang Cave?"
One of them wailed, but could only struggle to his feet and obediently separate from the others, staggering forward alone.
"Farewell, fellow cultivators."
The others also endured the intense pain and got up, not daring to linger.
They had received an invitation saying that Xuan Guang Cave's Zhang Xuan Yan True Person had emerged from seclusion and was touring the area, willing to share some insights on cultivation.
They never expected that they hadn't even heard a word of the Dharma and were sent into the Thousand Demons Cave after taking a Clear Heart and Calm Mind Pill.
Who would have thought that a great cultivator in a purple robe would do such a thing?
But at this point, cursing wouldn't change anything.
They could only hope to escape with their lives from the demons and then find a way to lift the restrictions within their bodies.
The only thing that made everyone feel slightly better was that, so far, they hadn't sensed any demonic auras... Could it be that the demons had forgotten about this place?
"Are you going to make a move or not?"
At this moment, Silver-backed Ape King looked at the lion strolling leisurely beside him and finally lost his patience. "Don't forget, you killed Savage Mountain. If this matter isn't handled well, Thunder Hoof Demon Sovereign will definitely take your head."
"..."
Shen Yi glanced at him indifferently, not bothering to pay attention.
"Do you two really need to do this?"
Black Bear licked his lips, barely holding back his impatience. "Is it possible that there's no ambush at all, and Xuan Guang Cave simply didn't dare to come? I don't want to waste time here."
"Tsk!"
Silver-backed Ape King turned around abruptly and bared his teeth at Black Bear, his expression ferocious.
He had originally planned to wait for Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign to leave and then drag this Black Bear along, but if there was indeed an ambush, they definitely wouldn't target themselves first.
He never expected this lion to act so arrogantly, yet he couldn't shake him off like a dogged pest.
"I'm just talking nonsense, you decide."
Black Bear was startled and quickly averted his gaze.
At this moment, its massive body suddenly froze, and its hunched figure slowly touched the ground with its front legs.
"You dare not come, why, because of us?"
In the distance, a figure in a dark robe walked slowly.
Facing three terrifying Demon Sovereigns, he remained calm and composed.
Behind Zhang Xuanhe, the woman had a gloomy expression, feeling guilty for not being able to help her master.
Facing this seemingly calm yet disdainful speech, the Silver-backed Ape Sovereign did not get angry. Instead, it took a step back behind the Black Bear and casually gripped something, and a strange weapon with spearheads on both ends appeared in its palm.
At the same time, it let out a slightly forced laugh, "When did your dark-robed Grand Cultivators dare to come here? Are you not afraid of losing here and being crushed by Wutong Mountain for a lifetime? I remember you only have four dark-robed True Persons."
"Xuanhe has not yet entered the late stage of Divine Transformation, so he's not as important as you think."
Zhang Xuanhe calmly patted his sleeve, "But dealing with a few of you is still more than enough."
It would be best if they could separate them.
If that's not possible, it's not a big deal.
Among the three Demon Sovereigns, the strongest was the Silver-backed Ape Sovereign from the thirty-fourth cave, and the other two were not worth mentioning.
"Now that you've seen my master, why don't you put down your weapons? You might be able to save your life."
The female cultivator from Xuan Guang Cave spoke coldly.
Upon hearing this, the Black Bear turned around and looked back as if asking a question.
"..."
The Silver-backed Ape Sovereign almost couldn't hold back from stabbing its brain with its spear.
But at this critical moment, it forcefully suppressed its anger and shouted, "In the past, I might have feared you a little, but now that my Golden-Eyed Lion Brother's cultivation has greatly increased, if we really fight, you might not be able to gain the upper hand."
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Xuanhe's gaze fell on the tall lion.
The lion seemed calm and unassuming, but it was actually much calmer than the other two demons.
With just one sentence, the Silver-backed Ape Sovereign had drawn the lion's attention, and as it breathed a sigh of relief, its legs tensed, ready to retreat.
However, what it did not expect was that in the next instant, a sharp claw struck its head with lightning speed.
A dull crack rang out!
The Silver-backed Ape Sovereign's skull shattered, and its entire body slammed into the ground.
But as a Demon Sovereign, its life force was much stronger than that of a cultivator.
Instinctively, it flipped over and thrust its spear forward.
With the power of its demonic energy, the spear erupted with mountain-splitting force, but it was immediately gripped tightly by a giant claw.
Boom—
Shen Yi held the spear with one hand and stomped on its chest with his other foot.
The old ape's body arched, and foul-smelling blood spurted out.
It stared in horror, but its eyes met a pair of dazzling golden orbs. Under the gaze of the Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign, its body felt like it was falling into an ice cave, and it could only scream miserably, "You dare to betray us?!"
The Silver-backed Ape Sovereign's cry was met with the lion's cruel gaze.
It lowered its body and reached out to grab the ape's head, and its five fingers pierced through the ape's skull.
After the Nine Demons Transformation Art reached perfection, Shen Yi's body, tempered through Body Tempering, could burst forth with a force more than twice that of the Green Plume Demon Sovereign.
Later, when he broke through to the Divine Transformation stage, the nine fairy demons gained another leap in power.
At least at the mid-stage of Divine Transformation, no demon could match him.
"Roar!"
The Silver-backed Ape Sovereign, its head grabbed, could only howl in pain through its fingers.
Its silver-gray fur on its back grew rapidly, and its body swelled until it was as tall as the lion.
Its two long arms were like mountains of flesh, thick and solid.
It frantically pounded the lion's chest and abdomen, tearing through the sturdy muscles and piercing the lion's body.
But it felt no joy, only growing more fearful.
Why... this touch felt so fake.
It was as if some kind of illusion technique was at play, and even the blood that sprayed out had no warmth, as if it were a deliberate illusion created by its opponent.
"It's not the Golden..."
Before it could finish its sentence, the eight-foot-tall lion demon had already crushed its head.
The Black Bear trembled as it witnessed this scene.
Its mind was in a complete mess.
It couldn't understand...
In an instant, the Black Bear turned around to flee, but before it could take a step, Shen Yi thrust his spear into its head, pinning it to the ground!
