Chapter 366: A Familiar Face Once More
Chapter 366: A Familiar Face Once More
With the help of the Golden-Patterned Robe, Shen Yi was keenly aware of the presence and location of all living beings in his surroundings.
Aside from curious minor demons who had come to spectate, the stealthy presence of the Thunderhoof Demon Emperor hiding in the sky had long been exposed.
What was puzzling was the absence of any Demon Emperors from the top ten caves.
Were they unable to move freely?
Shen Yi had a vague suspicion, but he remained vigilant nonetheless.
The chicken demon's subtle glance towards the sky earlier definitely wasn't directed at Thunderhoof; perhaps those powerful demons had some other means of surveillance.
That was a bit of a shame.
He had originally intended to take this opportunity to slaughter both of these demon monsters.
Shen Yi didn't know what Thunderhoof had planned for him, but with a little thought, it was clear that within the entire Nanyang Sect, the only forces that could pose a threat to over ten cave demon emperors were Wutong Mountain and Xuanguang Cave.
However, with the help of the two deer demon brothers, Thunderhoof was still so confident.
So Xuanguang Cave could be ruled out.
Today, there was a good chance he would see some familiar faces.
Shen Yi had come to the Thousand Demon Caves to seek treasures, not to slaughter human cultivators for these demons.
As long as the disciples from Wutong Mountain had a brain.
When they saw the Youwei Spear in his hand, they should be able to put two and two together.
Either they would guess his connection to the Great Qian Empire, or they would realize that even Shen Yi, with his ten-zhang golden body, couldn't protect his spear.
Either guess would be enough to make this group leave of their own accord.
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 who came, then it would be understandable if he couldn't guard the place, but with the robe, he should be able to escape with his life. To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, he had specifically brought Qinghua over as well.
Guarding a cave abode was a dull and tedious task.
But this time, numerous demon monsters were gathering from far away, their eyes fixed on this place, reluctant to leave for a long time.
After experiencing several incidents, the Golden-Eyed Lion Emperor had undoubtedly become the most prominent demon in the Thousand Demon Caves.
All the great demons were curious about what terrifying progress this Lion Emperor had made.
Was it really as rumored, that he had caused the Youwei Demon Emperor to slink away from the Thousand Demon Caves?
Just as they were waiting.
Three auras quietly approached the area.
"Senior Brother, I have a bad feeling about this."
Clearing Wind True Man looked around, feeling for the first time since infiltrating the Thousand Demon Caves that he was being watched by an unusually large number of prying eyes.
It was as if there were demons lurking everywhere.
An unsettling feeling crept into his heart.
"Did your formation array fail?" Yu Chaoyan also looked around suspiciously.
"..."
Tong Xinquan glanced at these two foolish junior disciples who had insisted on tagging along.
He sighed and withdrew his gaze.
He suddenly soared into the air and waved his hand, dispelling the concealment formation.
Did they really need to ask? The facts were right before their eyes.
Tong Xinquan held a jade slip in his hand, his expression strange as he looked forward. On the towering mountaintop, the golden-eyed beast with its mane gently swaying sat like a sovereign, its oppressive gaze sweeping towards them.
It had obviously discovered their presence long ago.
But it had made no move, its calm and unhurried demeanor suggesting it had everything under control.
"Is that really the Demon Emperor of the fortieth cave?"
Tong Xinquan's eyebrows twitched.
Yu Chaoyan and Qing Feng also realized the situation and removed their concealment formations.
"I told you, it's changed..."
Yu Chaoyan took to the air, his expression growing more solemn.
He hadn't expected that the being they had been discussing earlier would appear before them so coincidentally.
That majestic figure, coupled with its disdainful attitude, actually made people subconsciously ignore the two even more famous demon emperors standing behind it.
"Is this a trap?"
Qing Feng stood on a auspicious cloud, his face doubtful.
If it was really meant to lure and kill Senior Brother Tong, why make it so obvious, as if afraid that others wouldn't know it was here?
Just then, he suddenly sensed his two junior disciples behind him holding their breath.
A puzzled expression crossed Tong Xinquan's face as he turned to look back.
He saw both of them staring fixedly at something.
He turned again to follow their gaze, and his eyes landed on the pitch-black spear in the lion's paw.
"That's that kid's Youwei Spear!" Qing Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Has something happened to him?"
Yu Chaoyan and Tong Xinquan fell silent, their eyebrows furrowing almost simultaneously.
They, too, recalled the young man they had seen in the Thousand Demon Caves the last time, who had calmly pierced the Red-Hearted Snake Emperor's head with the spear.
"You damned beasts!" Qing Feng's face twisted with anger, and he rolled up his sleeves. Although the young man hadn't been very polite to him the last time, he had actually thought highly of Shen Yi.
A newly risen genius cultivator had just fallen in the Thousand Demon Caves.
"... "
Tong Xinquan took a deep breath.
If he had thought Yu Chaoyan was exaggerating before, he now felt a lot more cautious.
That young man had single-handedly fought three Mid-Term Transformation Gods, crushing them with his might.
Add to that the untouched six-zhang golden body.
The two of them together should be a match for a Late-Term Transformation God cultivator. At the very least, the Tailbone-less Youwei Demon Emperor wouldn't be able to take his life.
Yet, he had fallen to their opponent.
It seemed that this Golden-Eyed Lion didn't need Yu Chaoyan's help to defeat Youwei either.
"Even the demons know to take out our human geniuses in advance."
A mocking smile played at Yu Chaoyan's lips, and then his eyes glinted with killing intent. "Perfect. It's also quite a promising existence in the Thousand Demon Caves. A life for a life."
Tong Xinquan looked at the jade slip in his hand, his eyes narrowing sharply.
The next moment, three figures simultaneously leaped into action!
As the cultivators from Wutong Mountain appeared, many of the surrounding demons who had been watching from a distance didn't hesitate to leave.
Tong Xinquan, Yu Chaoyan, and Li Qingfeng.
Any one of them was a notorious figure in the Thousand Demon Caves, almost on par with the peak of human cultivators.
Watching the spectacle in front of them would likely cost these demons their lives.
Even the Golden-Winged Nine-Striped Tiger behind the bronze mirror slowly stood up, curious to see what the Spider Emperor had offered to lure out these three prized seedlings of Wutong Mountain all at once.
Only the Thunderhoof Demon Emperor wore a triumphant smile.
He could almost see the lion fleeing in a comical panic.
It was even questionable if it could escape at all.
"Lion Emperor..."
The deer demon swallowed, instinctively taking two steps back.
He was pulled back by his companion, the chicken demon, who glanced up at the sky once more before letting go of his hand and whispering, "Lion Emperor, it's time to give us an explanation."
In the face of the three approaching figures, brimming with hostility...
Shen Yi finally stood up, casually grasping the cool spear in his hand.
The next moment, he took a calm step forward and said indifferently, "You only need to take him down."
The chicken demon followed Shen Yi's gaze and saw that it landed on Qing Feng.
A puzzled look appeared in his eyes.
As the Demon Emperor of the Eighteenth Cave, was he only supposed to deal with a Mid-Term Transformation God cultivator?
"What about the other two?" The chicken demon glanced sideways.
But the lion demon had already drawn out the Youwei Spear, his golden eyes filled with killing intent. "They are mine."
As his words fell, the two demons stiffened.
The deer demon was taken aback, "Then, what about me?"
The lion demon's lips curled in scorn, and then he vanished from his original spot.
