Chapter 365: The Rise of the Golden-Eyed Lion Emperor
Chapter 365: The Rise of the Golden-Eyed Lion Emperor
Outside Wutong Mountain, a flash of scarlet robe swiftly cut through the vast sky. However, two figures blocked its path.
"Brother Tong, where are you going?"
Qingfeng, standing on auspicious clouds, furrowed his brows.
Yu Chao'an jumped directly onto Brother Tong's cloud-riding treasure and grabbed his arm.
"Let go!"
A hint of agitation flashed across Tong Xinquan's effeminate face, and he chastised, "I'm not grounded. Where I go is none of your business."
"Catch him! Something's wrong!"
Qingfeng waved his sleeve, his keen senses alerting him to something amiss. "I'll go get Brother Nie."
At these words, Tong Xinquan's expression changed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Come back!"
"Speak honestly." Yu Chao'an stared at him directly, with no intention of letting go.
Qingfeng made a stepping motion, as if to rush off at the first sign of trouble to report what was happening.
Seeing this, Tong Xinquan scoffed, "You two white-eyed wolves. I gave you so many formation plates, and now I might as well have fed them to dogs."
After venting his anger, he took out a jade slip from his sleeve. Streams of flowing light surged across its smooth surface.
Tong Xinquan lowered his voice. "This is the item Brother Nie gave me, and now its other half has appeared in this world."
Upon hearing this, Qingfeng's body stiffened slightly.
In the path of cultivation, the importance of cultivation techniques was undeniable.
However, the techniques of this world were all minor paths.
The true treasures lay within the library of the Thousand Demon Cave, guarded by the Xuanming Spider Emperor—the Southern Yang Sect's Arcane Vault.
Each of the Ten Demon Emperors guarded places that drove cultivators mad with desire—the Secret Law Pavilion, the Refining Hall, the Pill Refinery, and more.
Unlike the caves left behind by other cultivators, these ten treasure sites were permanently open.
The last time Brother Nie ventured forth, he was cut off and severely injured. He risked his life to break into the Secret Law Pavilion, inflicting heavy damage on the Spider Emperor and retrieving precious techniques. However, he was then surrounded and attacked by the Third Cave Demon Emperor and five other Demon Emperors. By the time he escaped, only half of his body remained.
Among the items he brought back was the jade slip that Brother Tong now held.
With this item, Qingfeng had yet to see anyone surpass Brother Tong in the art of formations, not even the Xu family.
Despite his surprise, Qingfeng turned towards Wutong Mountain and said, "There's something wrong. How could something like that appear in this world without reason?"
"Get back here!"
Tong Xinquan stretched out his hand, and golden threads gathered at his fingertips, forming a profound magical formation that enveloped Qingfeng.
Seeing that Qingfeng was about to shout, Tong Xinquan quickly made several gestures in the air, sealing his mouth and nose.
"..."
Qingfeng gaped in silence for a moment before calmly reaching for the communication jade slip at his waist.
"Please, I'm begging you!"
Tong Xinquan lost all composure, his palm clenching tightly as he panted, "Let me go! I'm going crazy being trapped here! The Great Dao is right before my eyes, yet it's shrouded in darkness. Do you understand? You understand nothing, you little mid-stage Nascent Soul brat."
"Hey, no need to insult your fellow sect members."
Yu Chao'an whispered a reminder.
"..."
Qingfeng remained silent for a moment, then glanced at Tong Xinquan before slowly putting the jade slip away.
He understood why Brother Tong hadn't sought help from their senior disciples.
This was clearly a trap.
Qingfeng pointed to his mouth, and after Brother Tong released the restriction, Qingfeng sighed and waved his sleeve dejectedly. "We'll go with you."
"What do you mean, 'we'? I never said I was going. I just returned, and I'm still injured!"
Yu Chao'an opened his mouth to object, pointing to the faint light on his body. "Things have been chaotic in the Thousand Demon Cave lately. You have no idea. The last time I saw that golden-eyed lion..."
"Are you coming or not?" Qingfeng glared at him.
Tong Xinquan glanced at the two of them and then disappeared into thin air.
What a load of rubbish, that Golden-eyed Lion.
As long as one of the top ten Cave Demons doesn't show up this time, he'll risk his life to get that formation jade slip.
"Chase him!"
Qingfeng waved her small hand, quickly riding the clouds to give chase.
...
Thousand Demon Cave.
Yet another cave's light barrier slowly unfolded.
The Demon King guarding this place watched as the Lightning Hooved Demon Emperor strode out and then vanished into the horizon.
It scratched the back of its head.
Feeling perplexed.
Why would such a small cave, that had been searched countless times, attract the attention of a Demon Emperor?
This Demon King completely failed to notice that the Lightning Hooved Demon Emperor, who seemed to be fleeing far away, had stopped just after entering the cloud layer.
It maintained its calm, gazing expectantly downwards.
The Lightning Hooved Demon Emperor was truly curious—just how many Wutong Mountain cultivators would this jade slip attract?
Its front hooves tapped impatiently.
Indicating that its patience with the Golden-eyed Lion was nearing its limit.
While the Lightning Hooved Demon Emperor was focused on what was happening below.
It didn't realize that a powerful demon was also observing it.
In a distant, pitch-black light barrier.
A Nine-Striped Savage Tiger with wings sprouting from its back lay lazily coiled on the ground, with a ten-foot-tall bronze mirror in front of it.
This item left behind by the South Yang Sect was incredibly useful.
Despite the great distance, the mirror reflected the scene with crystal clear detail.
The Nine-Striped Golden-Winged Demon Queen yawned.
She was genuinely feeling weary.
As one of the Ten Great Demon Emperors, she had it worse than the wild demons under that old dog's command.
Even though she guarded the most inconspicuous Spirit Plant Garden, the spiritual herbs within had long been devoured by the other demons. Yet, even the immature herb seeds and a clump of spirit soil must never fall into the hands of cultivators.
To her, this was no different from being imprisoned.
"If you want this Demon Queen's cave... then show me what you've got."
The Savage Tiger glanced at the bronze mirror with a hint of curiosity, wondering what kind of play the Old Spider had prepared for that arrogant lion.
And whether the lion had the skills to deal with it.
Under the watchful gaze of these observers.
The Demon King guarding the newly opened light barrier hesitated, "This..."
In the far distance, three figures approached unhurriedly, their overwhelming demonic auras revealing that they were all Demon Emperors.
The most striking among them was the majestic eight-zhang-tall figure at the forefront.
Beneath its majestic mane, its eyes shone brilliantly.
"Lion Emperor, do you have a plan?"
When the Stag Demon saw the cave, his heart skipped a beat.
Such an obvious trap, and they couldn't even be bothered to disguise it—this showed that Lightning Hooves had great confidence.
The Rooster Demon remained silent, but his expression turned grave.
Given his personality, he would have abandoned this lion who had offended the Ten Great Demon Emperors.
But after glancing up at the sky, he continued to follow.
The Rooster Demon knew that the Nine-Striped Golden-Winged Demon Queen had something up her sleeve, and she was most likely keeping an eye on this place at that very moment.
"Yes."
Shen Yi casually replied.
Upon hearing this, the Rooster Demon curiously looked up and was about to ask for clarification when Shen Yi strode towards the cave on the mountaintop.
Crack!
He thrust the Dark-tail Spear into the mountain peak.
The next moment, the robust lion casually sat down, as if the entire mountain was his throne.
Shen Yi propped his chin with one hand, gazing calmly forward, overlooking the Thousand Demon Cave below as if inspecting his own territory.
