Chapter 350: I Am the Lion Sovereign, Remember That
Compared to the exquisite appearance of the Dharmic Robe, Shen Yi was more concerned with its practicality.
After a brief test, the effects were startling.
Even the Heavenly Wrath Five Thunder Sword Technique, which he had just perfected, seemed unable to harm it in the slightest.
No wonder the Xuan Guang Cave was so obsessed with it.
The strength of the Nanyang Sect could be glimpsed from this Dharmic Robe.
It was unknown if anyone else had obtained treasures of the same grade or even better.
This was a gift from the Overseer to the Elder for his birthday, and it possessed such formidable defense. What else could be found in the Elder's Immortal Mansion, let alone the Sect Master's?
And yet, the Nanyang Sect, with all these treasures, had left behind only the Immortal Mansion, with not a single living cultivator in sight.
Shen Yi's curiosity grew.
If only he could locate the Elder's Immortal Mansion, most of his doubts would be resolved.
"..."
As he stepped out of the small building, Shen Yi transformed back into the majestic Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign, except that the wounds on his abdomen from the fist and claws had become sword wounds.
He retracted his Golden Body Manifestation and headed out of the Immortal Mansion.
As for the corpses of the Black Bear and the Silverback Ape King, since the demon blood could only replenish his Qi for now, and he hadn't found another use for it yet, Shen Yi didn't rush to refine them. Instead, he stored them in his Storage Artifact.
Just as he left the Immortal Mansion, he received a message from the Lion Sovereign.
"Reporting to my master, I have found one of the five herbs mentioned by the fox, but this is the territory of the Youwei Demon Sovereign. What do you think?"
"Noted."
Shen Yi did not change his direction.
There was no such thing as the Youwei Demon Sovereign's territory in the Thousand Demons Cave. The one with the strongest fist ruled the land.
What he needed to do now was to change the other demons' stereotypical impression of the Lion Sovereign.
...
At the Tong Ming Thunder Pool, thick thunder slurry churned unpredictably. A sheep-headed Qilin with purple scales on all four hooves lazily walked to the shore.
With each step, the ground beneath it rumbled.
Above the depression, a massive dark black dragon hovered, its cold gaze fixed on the Qilin below: "Will you help me or not?"
"Help you?"
The Thunder Hoof Demon Sovereign found a stone and lay down: "What's in it for me?"
"Hiss!" The Youwei Demon Sovereign flicked its tail: "Find my tail bone, and I'll let you live in my Immortal Mansion."
"Heh, I'm quite comfortable here."
The Thunder Hoof Demon Sovereign closed its eyes, showing little interest.
Seeing this, the Youwei Demon Sovereign grew anxious and circled in the air. Its mission was to deal with Yu Chaoyan of Wutong Mountain, and it could only force him to reveal his accomplice's whereabouts by capturing him.
Winning wasn't difficult, but capturing him without alerting the other Wutong Mountain cultivators would require a lot of help.
Unfortunately, the Youwei Demon Sovereign was used to acting alone and had poor relationships with others.
The Demon Sovereign it followed, one of the top ten caves, was currently in hibernation, so it had no choice but to seek assistance from the Thunder Hoof Demon Sovereign under the same Demon Sovereign.
To its surprise, the Thunder Hoof Demon Sovereign showed such disdain.
"You..."
Just then, the two Demon Sovereigns sensed something and looked up at the dense forest above the depression.
Between the tall ancient trees, a battered figure slowly approached.
Upon recognizing the newcomer, the Youwei Demon Sovereign disdainfully withdrew its gaze. Even if it desperately needed help, it wouldn't consider a mere Essence Transformation Early Stage demon.
The Thunder Hoof Demon Sovereign lifted its eyelids: "What happened?"
Shen Yi calmly looked down: "It's taken care of."
After saying this, he turned to leave, as if he had only come to inform them.
Witnessing this, the Youwei Demon Sovereign sneered and glanced at the Thunder Hoof Demon Sovereign. They called him reclusive, but this dead sheep couldn't even control a Golden-Eyed Lion. He was no better.
"..."
The Thunder Hoof Demon Sovereign remained silent for a moment before finally standing up. "Stop."
Shen Yi slowly halted his steps and turned back, asking, "Is there something you need?"
The Lion Sovereign's golden eyes stared at him without any attempt to hide their gaze, causing a cold light to flash in the Thunder Hoof Demon Sovereign's eyes. Ever since their last meeting, it had been somewhat annoyed, but it didn't lash out at that time.
Once, twice, and thrice.
This lion was acting as if it had no temper at all.
"I want to ask you, where are Silverback and that bear?"
"They're dead."
Shen Yi's concise answer left both Demon Sovereigns stunned for a moment. After a few breaths, they realized he wasn't going to elaborate further.
That's it?
The Thunder Hoof Demon Sovereign finally straightened its body and said coldly, "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation."
The Shadowtail Demon Sovereign also temporarily forgot about its tail and watched with interest.
The eight-zhang-tall lion finally took a step and walked back to the cliff's edge.
It squatted down at a leisurely pace, opening its claws, and a head rolled out from its palm, tumbling down the cliff wall and into the depression below.
It rolled until it reached the Thunder Hoof Demon Sovereign, which stepped on it with its front hoof.
After seeing the person's appearance clearly, all four of its dark green eyes narrowed, and it fell silent.
The Shadowtail Demon Sovereign looked at the head, then at the lion on the cliff, both remaining silent.
They might not recognize other cultivators.
But Zhang Xuanyan from Xuan Guang Cave was somewhat famous within the Thousand Demons Cave.
Although his cultivation might be slightly lower than theirs, the abundance of precious treasures on his body also gave the demons headaches. At least, the Demon Sovereigns beyond the twentieth cave were not his match.
And now, his head lay quietly on the ground.
His expression was filled with disbelief and terror, as if he had witnessed something horrifying, unable to close his eyes even in death.
"Do you have any other questions?"
Shen Yi squatted by the cliff, gazing down at the other party indifferently.
The Thunder Hoof Demon Sovereign stared at the ground for a long time before slowly raising its head. "It's always better to keep a low profile."
"Hmph."
The robust lion demon opened its mouth, revealing sharp fangs and a mocking smile. "I'm afraid that if I keep a lower profile, other brothers might want to step into my cave."
After saying this, it patted its hands and walked towards the distance, quickly disappearing into the dense forest.
Boom!
In the instant the lion disappeared, the Thunder Hoof Demon Sovereign violently stomped on the head, shattering it.
Intense anger surged in its four eyes.
"You despicable scoundrel!"
It had to be said that after killing Zhang Xuanyan, Shen Yi still had the composure to stand there calmly.
This alone gave him the qualification to speak on equal terms with the Thunder Hoof Demon Sovereign.
To slay this fang-bearing demon would undoubtedly come at a price.
Although the Thunder Hoof Demon Sovereign was furious, it didn't want to end up like the Shadowtail Drakon, suffering a desolate end over a mere argument.
"From what you're saying, it seems like you owe it a lot," the Shadowtail Demon Sovereign said thoughtfully.
"It's always been like this in the Thousand Demons Cave," the Thunder Hoof Demon Sovereign coldly snorted, taking a step towards the Thunder Slurry.
"Will you help me or not?" The Shadowtail Demon Sovereign asked again, hovering in the air.
The Thunder Hoof Demon Sovereign drank the Thunder Slurry, not even bothering to lift its head. "Get lost!"
"..."
The Shadowtail Demon Sovereign gave it a deep look before turning around and flying away.
Speaking of others, this dead sheep was also a scoundrel. Before its tailbone was lost, even if it had borrowed a few dares, how dare it be so brazen?
