Chapter 366: A Familiar Face Again
Chapter 366: A Familiar Face Again
With the help of the Golden Patterned Robe, Shen Yi was fully aware of the locations of all living creatures in the vicinity.
Apart from the curious lesser demons who had gathered to watch, the Thunderhoof Demon Sovereign, who had stealthily hidden in the sky, was already exposed.
What was more puzzling was that none of the top ten cave's Demon Sovereigns had come.
Could they not move freely?
Shen Yi had a vague guess, but he didn't let down his guard.
The rooster demon's earlier action of quietly looking up at the sky couldn't possibly be to watch Thunderhoof, or perhaps those greater demons had other means of surveillance.
That was a pity.
He had originally planned to take this opportunity to kill these two demons.
Shen Yi didn't know what Thunderhoof had prepared for him, but it was easy to understand that, throughout the entire Nanyang Sect, the only ones capable of threatening over a dozen cave's Demon Sovereigns were Wutong Mountain and Xuan Guang Cave.
However, with the help of the two stag demons, Thunderhoof was still so confident.
That meant Xuan Guang Cave could be ruled out.
Today, there was a high chance he would see some familiar faces.
Shen Yi had come to the Thousand Demons Cave to seek treasures, not to kill human cultivators for these demons.
As long as the disciples from Wutong Mountain had some sense.
When they saw the Dark Tail Spear in his hand, they should be able to figure it out.
Either they would guess that he had a connection with Great Qian, or even the ten-zhang golden-bodied Shen Yi couldn't protect his spear.
Either guess was enough to make these people leave on their own.
That was why Shen Yi was sitting so boldly on the mountaintop.
Of course... if it was someone like Nie Jun or a similar expert, it would be understandable if he couldn't hold them off. With the protective robe, he should be able to ensure his safety and avoid any unexpected situations. He had specifically summoned Qinghua to be by his side.
Guarding the cave was a tedious task.
But this time, numerous demons were far away, eagerly watching this place, reluctant to leave for a long time.
After experiencing several incidents, the Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign had undoubtedly become the most prominent demon in the Thousand Demons Cave.
All the greater demons were curious about what terrifying progress this Lion Sovereign had made.
Was it really as rumored, that even the Youwei Demon Sovereign had to slink away from the Thousand Demons Cave?
As they waited...
Three auras quietly approached the area.
"Senior Brother, I feel like something is off."
Qingfeng Zhenren looked around, and for the first time since infiltrating the Thousand Demons Cave, he felt like he was being watched by such a large number of demons.
It was as if demons were lurking all around them.
An inexplicable sense of unease filled their hearts.
"Has your formation failed?" Yu Chaoyan also looked on with suspicion.
"..."
Tong Xincuan glanced at these two foolish junior brothers who insisted on following him.
He reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
Suddenly, he soared into the air and waved his hand, dispelling the concealment formation.
Was there even a need to ask? The facts were right before their eyes.
Holding a jade slip, Tong Xincuan looked ahead with a peculiar expression. On the towering mountaintop, a golden-eyed beast with slightly swaying mane sat like a king, its oppressive gaze sweeping over them.
It was clear that they had been discovered long ago.
But the beast hadn't made any moves, its calm demeanor suggesting that everything was under control.
"Is this really the Demon Sovereign of the fortieth cave?"
Tong Xincuan's eyebrows twitched.
Yu Chaoyan and Qingfeng also realized and removed their concealment formations.
"I told you, it's different now..."
Yu Chaoyan flew up, his expression growing more solemn.
He hadn't expected that the very existence they had been discussing would appear before them so coincidentally.
That majestic figure, coupled with its disdainful demeanor, made one subconsciously overlook the two even more renowned Demon Sovereigns behind it.
"Is this a trap?"
Qingfeng stood on auspicious clouds, his face filled with doubt.
If it was indeed to lure and kill Senior Brother Tong, why make it so obvious, as if afraid that others wouldn't know it was here?
Tong Xincuan remained silent for a long time, then said, "This is considered a provocation."
A newly risen Demon Emperor wanted to use them as stepping stones for its ascension.
Just then, he suddenly felt the breaths of his two younger brothers behind him simultaneously pause.
Tong Xincuan turned around with a puzzled look.
He saw both of them staring at the same spot.
He turned back again, and his gaze fell on the dark long spear in the lion's palm.
"This is that kid's Dark Tail Spear!" Qing Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Has something happened to him?"
Yu Chaoyan and Tong Xincuan fell silent, almost simultaneously furrowing their brows.
They also remembered the youth they had seen in the Thousand Demons Cave, who had calmly thrust the spear into the head of the Crimson Heart Serpent King.
"His grandmother's second uncle! These damned beasts!"
Qing Feng's face filled with anger, and he couldn't help but roll up his sleeves. Although that kid had been rude to him, he still had high hopes for Shen Yi.
A newly risen genius cultivator had fallen into the hands of the Thousand Demons Cave.
"..."
Tong Xincuan took a deep breath.
If he had thought that Yu Chaoyan was exaggerating before, now he was taking the matter much more seriously.
That youth had single-handedly fought against three Core Formation Mid-stage cultivators, defeating them with overwhelming force.
And there was also the unmoving Six-Zhang Golden Body.
Together, the two of them should be no weaker than a Core Formation Late-stage cultivator, at least... The Dark Tail Demon Emperor without a tailbone would definitely not be able to take their lives.
But now, he had fallen into the hands of the enemy.
It seemed that this Golden-Eyed Lion didn't need Yu Chaoyan's help to defeat the Dark Tail Demon Emperor.
"Even demons know to eliminate our human geniuses in advance."
Yu Chaoyan's lips curled in self-mockery, and then his eyes revealed a murderous intent, "Perfect, it's also a highly potential existence in the Thousand Demons Cave, one life for another."
Tong Xincuan glanced at the jade slip in his hand, his gaze becoming sharper.
The next moment, three figures simultaneously darted out without any prior agreement. As the Wutong Mountain cultivators appeared...
The surrounding demons, many of them cautious, didn't hesitate to leave.
Tong Xincuan, Yu Chaoyan, and Li Qingfeng.
Any one of them was a formidable cultivator who had established a formidable reputation in the Thousand Demons Cave, almost on par with the top human cultivators.
Watching the spectacle in front of them would likely cost them their lives.
Even the Nine-Tattooed Golden-Winged Tiger behind the brass mirror slowly stood up. She was curious about what the Spider Emperor had offered to attract the attention of these Wutong Mountain's prized disciples.
Only the Thunderhoof Demon Emperor showed a smug smile.
It could almost see the lion's comical figure fleeing in disarray.
It was even uncertain if it could escape.
"Lion King..."
The Deer Demon swallowed, unconsciously taking two steps back.
Then, it was pulled back by its companion.
The Rooster Demon glanced at the sky again and then released its palm, saying softly, "Lion King, it's time to give an explanation."
In front of the three approaching figures.
Shen Yi finally stood up, casually gripping the cold spear.
The next moment, he took a step forward without haste, saying indifferently, "You only need to take him down."
The Rooster Demon followed his gaze and saw Qing Feng.
Then, confusion appeared in its eyes.
As the Demon Emperor of the Eighteenth Cavern, did it only need to deal with a Core Formation Mid-stage cultivator?
"What about the other two?" The Rooster Demon glanced sideways.
But the Majestic Lion Demon had drawn the Dark Tail Spear, and its golden eyes were filled with intense killing intent, "They are mine."
As the words fell, the two demons froze.
The Deer Demon was even more astonished, "Then, what about me?"
But the lion's lips curled in scorn, and then it disappeared from its original spot.
