Chapter 379: I Don't Believe in Such Coincidences in This World
In a corner of Demon Pacifying City, Qingfeng Zhenren frantically took out elixirs and distributed them to several senior brothers and sisters.
With a youthful face filled with anxiety, he said, "That was close! At least we made it out alive."
As he spoke, he glanced at Tong Xinzhuan, who was leaning against the city wall, and his face showed guilt. "Thanks to Senior Brother Tong..."
If it weren't for the other party's desperate efforts to hold back the Golden-Winged Demon Sovereign, they wouldn't have had a chance of survival.
At this moment, the other party's most cherished crimson robe was muddy and tattered, and cracks covered their body, with spiritual energy constantly leaking out from the cracks.
If this continued, there was a risk of a decline in cultivation.
But Tong Xinzhuan just sat there without saying a word, his eyes vacant, as if still immersed in the previous scene.
He didn't even have the heart to swallow the elixir that was brought to his lips.
"Senior Brother Tong?" Qingfeng was startled, then looked at the senior sister who had brought him back, "What's wrong with him? Did the Golden-Winged Demon Sovereign use some kind of trick on him?"
"Although Senior Brother Tong is brave and resourceful, the fact that we were able to escape from the Thousand Demons Cave alive today was actually due to good luck."
Miao Qinghui sighed and snatched the elixir, pinching Tong Xinzhuan's face and forcing the elixir into his mouth, "This kid's transformation has nothing to do with the Golden-Winged Demon Sovereign."
"Luck..." Qingfeng looked up in surprise.
"We saw Shen Yi."
Miao Qinghui exhaled softly, her pupils flickering.
The array that trapped the Golden-Winged Demon Sovereign, seeing it with his own eyes, how could his heart not be shaken?
And this array was created by the hands of the crude martial artist the other party had mentioned.
"That kid is still alive?!" Qingfeng exclaimed in surprise.
"What do you mean 'that kid'? Show some respect!" Miao Qinghui glared at him and warned, "Last time you were blocked by the Rainbow Demon Sovereign, and this time, it was all thanks to Shen Yi's help. If I hear you being disrespectful again, I'll slap you twice."
Upon hearing this, Qingfeng quickly covered his mouth.
Only his eyes remained, darting around, revealing his astonishment.
From what she said, it seemed that Shen Yi had stopped the Golden-Winged Demon Sovereign? He must have heard correctly, was the person she was talking about the same person he had in mind?
That little Shen Yi was only at the initial stage of Soul Transformation when he dealt with the Azure Deer Ancestor.
Even if he had improved since then, with his Dark Tail Spear taken by the Lion Sovereign, he couldn't possibly be a match for the Golden-Winged Demon Sovereign. Otherwise, with his temper, it would be a miracle if the Golden-Eyed Lion was still alive.
As if reading Qingfeng's thoughts, Miao Qinghui shook her head and sighed, "His cultivation is still the same, but his methods have changed."
As the saying goes, it's better to specialize in one thing than to dabble in many.
To be proficient in everything and have deep expertise in all of them, is that even possible for a person?
"By the way, where is Senior Sister?" Qingfeng suddenly remembered something and looked at the flying shuttle in the sky.
The guiding shuttle he had released had returned, but there was still no sign of Senior Sister.
"Nothing will happen to her."
Miao Qinghui said calmly, also feeling a bit dissatisfied with Ling Xi.
But as long as she regained her composure from the chaos, she was still a profound Soul Transformation cultivator, and with her courage, there was no way she would venture deeper into the Thousand Demons Cave.
Given her personality, if something happened, her first reaction would be to seek help from her master.
At this moment, a calm voice finally came from the corner.
"I don't believe it."
Tong Xinzhuan's eyes cleared up, and he stumbled to his feet.
Without explaining to the others what he didn't believe, he directly summoned Auspicious Clouds and headed towards Wutong Mountain.
The others were startled for a moment, but quickly followed.
With their cultivation, this long journey was merely a matter of two to three days.
It was dusk.
Tong Xinchuan had already spotted the silhouette of Wutong Mountain.
He shook off several fellow disciples and, amidst their puzzled gazes, arrived at a wooden house.
He then extended his hand, releasing golden threads to set up a delicate restrictive array, enveloping the area.
Tong Xinchuan walked to the door and knocked lightly three times, "Tong has an important matter to ask."
After a moment, the wooden door slowly opened.
Jiang Qiulan stood calmly at the entrance, "I don't know what instructions Senior Tong has."
Tong Xinchuan stared at the slightly cold and ethereal beauty, his gaze growing colder, "Tong only has one question."
"..."
Jiang Qiulan fell silent for a moment, her body tensing up.
In the span of a breath, she transformed from her previous calm state into a sharp and deadly sword.
With her cultivation and strength, it was impossible for her to attract the attention of a late-stage Incarnation cultivator.
If there was something special to speak of,
it was her identity from Great Qian... to be precise, her connection with Shen Yi.
The other party, severely injured, had come to her door, which meant they must have already obtained some evidence.
Jiang Qiulan had no confidence in deceiving a late-stage Incarnation cultivator, so there was no need to pretend anymore. The only thing she could do was to control her life and not become a tool for others to use.
"Hmm."
Tong Xinchuan sensed the change in the woman before him and realized that she had already entered a state of desperate struggle.
He asked bluntly, "Do you know Shen Yi?"
"I don't know him."
Jiang Qiulan didn't hesitate for a moment.
Facing this perfunctory response,
Tong Xinchuan didn't get angry. After a moment's thought, he slowly turned around, "I understand."
He took two steps, turned back, and forced a sinister smile, "There's no need to address me as Senior Tong, just call me Senior Brother. If there's anything you need help with, feel free to speak up, and Tong will do his best."
After saying this, he retracted his gaze and waved his hand to dispel the spell formation.
As expected.
How could there be two array geniuses in the world at the same time, and both happened to appear in the Thousand Demons Cave, even having a connection with the Dark Tail Spear?
Jiang Qiulan was a cultivator from Great Qian, how could she not know Shen Yi?
How could she not know about such a dazzling existence like the sun?
She obviously knew him, and their relationship was very close... But the last time she heard that Shen Yi might have died at the hands of the Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign, she didn't show any emotion, appearing even more indifferent than the disciples of Wutong Mountain.
This was too abnormal.
The most likely possibility...
Shen Yi was the Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign.
Only this could explain why she was able to escape from the Thousand Demons Cave twice in a row.
It wasn't that the heavens favored her.
It was just a coincidence that both times were related to Shen Yi.
Tong Xinchuan didn't quite understand why the other party wanted to hide their identity, but he didn't need to understand. Knowing that Shen Yi didn't want others to find out for the time being was enough.
"..."
Jiang Qiulan remained silent for a long time, until the other party walked away.
She wasn't sure what information Tong Xinchuan had obtained from her.
The only thing she could deduce was that by staying quietly on Wutong Mountain, she had somehow gained Shen Yi's favor.
Thinking of this, a complex smile appeared on her lips.
Even if Shen Yi didn't intend it, and she didn't have such thoughts, as long as their hometown connection remained, his residual radiance would naturally protect this group of ordinary people.
She had pursued it for most of her life.
But now, she realized that there was something in the world even harder to catch up with than time.
