Chapter 354: Great Changes in the Qianyuan Sect
What in the world is going on?!
What was supposed to be his glorious battle had turned into an internal strife within the Thousand Demon Caverns, with him as their accomplice.
Yu Chaoan sighed, giving the lion a deep glance before quickly dismantling his array and fleeing on his cloud.
The aura exuding from this Golden-Eyed Lion King was not as robust as that of the Ghost-tailed Demon Emperor, but its formidable physical body was chilling to the bone, leaving no room for any ideas to flourish.
Moreover, it seemed to possess countless unremarkable yet bizarre means.
Compared to the Ghost-tailed Demon Emperor who had lost its tail bone, Yu Chaoan felt even greater pressure from this lion.
Fortunately, the lion seemed more focused on establishing its dominance within the Thousand Demon Caverns, aiming to solidify its position.
For now, it didn't seem interested in wasting energy on cultivators.
"This is not good."
As Yu Chaoan rode on his cloud, a sense of worry crept into his heart.
The Demon Emperors of the Thousand Demon Caverns enjoyed the best blessed lands, with heavenly resources readily available. Most of them had become complacent and lazy.
Suddenly, an ambitious lion with such a tremendous boost in strength had appeared.
Could this lead to some unforeseen changes?
With these thoughts in mind, Yu Chaoan hurried back to the Wutong Mountain as fast as he could and headed straight for the second wooden house.
"Senior Brother Nie, I'm back!"
Yu Chaoan knocked on the door.
Before anyone inside could react, a cold laugh came from behind him.
Tong Xinquan glared at his back, her eyes cold.
So after borrowing an array from her, the first person he visited was Senior Brother Nie. Yu Chaoan, you really know how to pick your favorites.
"Give it back."
Tong Xinquan held out her hand and demanded coldly.
"..."
Realizing what he had forgotten, Yu Chaoan quickly handed the exquisite array plate back to her and explained, "I almost forgot about it. Please don't be angry, Senior Sister Tong. It's just that this matter is too big, and telling you about it would be pointless."
Tong Xinquan took back the array plate and was about to turn and leave.
But she suddenly heard Yu Chaoan say, "You might not believe it when I say it."
"On this trip, I ended up being a henchman for the demons."
Yu Chaoan knew exactly how to grab the attention of his senior brothers. As soon as he said this, both of them casually glanced over, feigning disinterest.
"I witnessed with my own eyes a Demon Emperor from the Fortieth Cavern, with unmatched might, killing the Ghost-tailed Demon Emperor."
"Such a terrifying improvement reminded me of Senior Brother Nie back then."
After Yu Chaoan finished speaking, filled with lingering fear, Nie finally opened his eyes wide and asked indifferently, "Fortieth Cavern, who?"
Tong Xinquan put down her leg and replied, "Golden-Eyed Lion King."
From the fortieth to the sixteenth was seemingly just a difference of over twenty caverns.
However, it was actually the insurmountable gap between the early and late stages of the Transformation God Realm.
In the context of Wutong Mountain, it would be like Tang Yuan suddenly rising to kill Yu Chaoan. It sounded like a joke.
"Noted."
Nie retracted his gaze, seemingly unaffected.
But Yu Chaoan heaved a sigh of relief. He knew his senior brother better than anyone, and these three words were enough to tell him that Nie had taken note of the lion.
Then, turning to Tang Yuan behind him, he scolded, "What's with you? You're always so curious about everything."
"I—"
Tang Yuan gaped, gesturing helplessly. He didn't have the guts, and besides, he hadn't heard anything!
...
In the bustling streets of Qingzhou City, Grand Preceptor Shen Yi strolled with measured steps.
After spending some time in the Thousand Demon Caverns, he still felt somewhat disconnected from the peaceful and harmonious scene before him.
He paused before a partially constructed, towering structure in the city.
A crowd had gathered around it, their voices filled with speculation.
"Is this the defensive array for the city?"
"Why has its construction been halted?"
"Who knows?"
Shen Yi's gaze shifted to the four or five Inner Camp officers guarding the structure, which resembled an astrological observatory.
He furrowed his brows slightly, sensing that something was amiss.
After slaying the Ghost-tailed Demon Emperor, the ancient demon dragon had generously offered up a whopping 41,000 years of demonic lifespan.
With such a bountiful harvest of lifespan.
Shen Yi chose not to return directly to the Thousand Demon Caverns. Going back right after leaving would be too obvious.
Instead, he decided to make use of this time to return to Da Qian and further enhance his Golden Body manifestation, as well as check on the progress of the Xu family's relocation.
"...'
Without disturbing the solemn-faced officers, Shen Yi vanished from his spot.
He reappeared at the Demon Suppression Office in Qingzhou.
Stepping into General You Longtao's courtyard, he found his colleague with his astral projection outside his body, attended only by Bai Zimin.
"Preceptor Shen..."
Bai Zimin, surprised at Shen Yi's appearance, couldn't hide a hint of shame in his eyes.
He quickly performed hand seals to recall his master's astral projection.
"Please wait a moment."
"Alright."
Shen Yi glanced around but didn't spot Aqinq.
He sat down opposite You Longtao and waited until the general opened his eyes.
"Brother Shen, you're back!"
You Longtao, who had some understanding of Shen Yi, didn't waste time with pleasantries. He got straight to the point: "Something's happened! Aqin has been taken back to the Imperial City by the Martial Temple, but she's safe for now."
Shen Yi didn't show a reproachful expression but merely nodded slightly, signaling for You Longtao to continue.
Being from Qingzhou himself, Shen Yi had a good degree of trust in a few of the Demon Suppression Generals.
You Longtao lowered his voice. "The news of Miss Xu's assistance here in Da Qian seems to have leaked out. It drew the ire of Xuanguang Cave, who came to demand an explanation. I heard there was a fierce conflict in the Imperial City, even involving an elder of the Martial Temple."
"Wu of the Martial Temple came to Qingzhou and took Miss Xu back. I don't know much else."
"Right... there's one more thing."
You Longtao suddenly recalled something: "That young man you know, Chen Ji, his sister was invited back to the Imperial City with an edict from the Prince Ji's Mansion. I felt something was amiss, so I asked Elder Chen to look after Chen Ji, but he sneaked out. I've already asked Elder Chen to look for him."
Having disclosed all he knew, You Longtao fell silent, not wanting to disturb Shen Yi further.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Shen Yi slowly closed his eyes and stood up, vanishing from the spot.
