Chapter 384: The White Hawk Demon Sovereign
Chapter 384: The White Hawk Demon Sovereign
The Bright Thunder Pool returned to a state of tranquility.
On the shore, stained with demon blood, lay two brutally mutilated corpses.
The Dark Nether Spider Sovereign's entire body was stiff and rigid, covered in deep scorch marks, and its insides were a complete mess, shattered by the Spirit Seal.
Not far from it, the Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign tried to escape, but it too was struck by the Spirit Seal, and on top of that, its flesh was flayed by countless swords, revealing deep wounds that exposed its bones.
Shen Yi lay on the ground, eyes closed, observing the panel.
[Killing the Perfected Soul Sage Dark Nether Spider Sovereign, total lifespan of ninety-seven thousand years, remaining lifespan of fourteen thousand years, absorption complete]
[Remaining demon lifespan: sixty-three thousand years]
It was unknown how long this ancient demon had lived in the Thousand Demons Cave.
With not much remaining lifespan, it was within Shen Yi's expectations, but he didn't feel disappointed, after all, the demon's role was not just about its lifespan.
He was now eager to find a secluded place to study the Boundless Dao Imperial Palace.
However, he couldn't move yet.
If possible, directly using the Nan Yang Transformation Technique to disguise himself as the Dark Nether Spider Sovereign would be a good choice.
But this path had some issues.
The most important was his cultivation; with Shen Yi's current strength, even if the transformation was extremely realistic, the demonic power emanating from his body would be vastly different, making it merely a superficial imitation.
Secondly, even if he was lucky enough to take on the role of the Dark Nether Spider Sovereign.
He could freely enter and exit the Repository of Secrets, but the other caves would forever be closed to him.
Shen Yi didn't want to give up his relationship with the Golden-Winged Demon Sovereign just yet.
On the path of cultivation, having only cultivation techniques was not enough.
Magical treasures, pills, and heavenly treasures were all indispensable.
"..."
Thinking of this, Shen Yi quietly maintained his feeble appearance.
As he expected, after the Iron Sketch Silver Hook Array dissipated, the demon aura and stench that filled the area quickly attracted the attention of many cultivators.
They cautiously approached, whispering among themselves.
Soon, two winged demons quickly flew towards the distance, heading to the Great Demon Sovereign's Immortal Mansion to deliver the news.
"Dead... both the Spider Sovereign and the Lion Sovereign are dead..."
The remaining demons gathered around, their eyes of various shapes and colors filled with uniform fear.
The Thousand Demons Cave hadn't suffered such a heavy blow in many years.
Starting with the Blood Transformation Demon Sovereign, in a short period, many Demon Sovereigns were killed one after another, their deaths mysterious and unresolved.
The peaceful days were abruptly shattered.
Was this still the Thousand Demons Cave, the pinnacle of the mortal realm?!
Swoosh—
Amidst the whispers of the demons, a golden streak of light descended from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it stood by the Thunder Pool.
A voluptuous woman stared intently at the chaotic Bright Thunder Pool.
Her gaze swept over the corpse of the Dark Nether Spider Sovereign and quickly landed on the lion's body.
"Who did this?!"
Her bosom heaved rapidly, and her eyes instantly turned vertical.
With a sharp question, the crowd of demons twitched, unconsciously lowering their bodies and emitting whimpers of lament.
"Asking them is pointless."
A soft voice echoed in the air.
Following this, a robust white horse approached, appearing divine yet with a size no different from ordinary horses. The only peculiarity was the absence of eyes on either side of its head, with a vertical pupil instead born on its forehead.
The vertical pupil was pitch-black, and against its white body, it appeared even more eerie.
Additionally, its chest bore a scar resembling a lightning strike.
For a Demon Sovereign, a powerful body could heal almost any injury, so this was clearly a deliberate choice, perhaps to remind itself of something.
"..."
The Golden-Winged Demon Sovereign turned to look, and though somewhat agitated, he forcibly suppressed his emotions and casually cupped his hands.
Even with her pride, when facing the White Hawk Demon Sovereign, she couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence.
It was this Demon Emperor of the third cave who had led the others to surround and attack Nie Jun.
Even though the cultivator had realized the initial form of the Dao Palace, in the end, he could only escape with severe injuries.
The White Hawk Demon Sovereign descended upon the Bright Thunder Pool, and the surging thunderous liquid naturally parted, allowing it to tread in the air and scan its surroundings with its vertical pupil.
With this simple action,
Suddenly, black mist rose from the surroundings.
It summoned a strand of the mist and examined it, then walked over to the Dark Nether Spider Sovereign, pondering for a moment before gently prodding the latter's corpse with its front hoof.
During this time, including the Golden-Winged Demon Sovereign, all the demons remained silent.
Until the white horse arrived in front of the lion.
The Golden-Winged Demon Sovereign's eyelids twitched twice, and it slowly walked over, "How did it die?"
The white horse casually waved its hoof, flipping over the eight-zhang-tall, robust body, and said indifferently, "It's not dead."
Before it finished speaking, it suddenly stepped on the lion's chest.
Under this immense force, Shen Yi coughed up a mouthful of congealed blood and dazedly opened his eyes.
"Who did this?"
The white horse asked concisely.
"Shen Yi, Lingxi Zhenren," Shen Yi replied in a weak voice.
Upon hearing this, the white horse stared at the lion's face with its black eyes, and after about ten breaths, it slowly walked away, "It's the truth."
"How is that possible!"
Even the Golden-Winged Demon Sovereign, who trusted the Golden-Eyed Lion the most among those present, showed surprise upon hearing these words.
She had personally fought with both of these cultivators.
Even if we set aside the lion, the Dark Nether Spider Sovereign, at the very least, wouldn't have suffered a significant loss even if it couldn't kill the two of them.
After all, this spider was most skilled at dealing with Wutong Mountain cultivators.
But the White Hawk Demon Sovereign's judgment had never been wrong... Could it be true?
"Two grand arrays were set up, indicating premeditation."
The White Hawk stared at the ground, separating some red from the black mist, and after taking a deep breath, it inhaled the scorching red mist into its nose, "You were deceived by Lingxi Zhenren. She isn't as incompetent as you say. She retreated to advance, and her target wasn't this lion."
"Do you mean the problem lies with this sovereign?"
The Golden-Winged Demon Sovereign bared its teeth, a hint of discontentment on its wild face.
However, the White Hawk Demon Sovereign paid no heed and continued, "Take it back to recover, and wait for this sovereign to interrogate it."
Upon hearing this, the voluptuous woman walked to Shen Yi's side, her face darkening. She transformed into the original form of a Nine-Striped Ferocious Tiger and carried him on her back, heading straight for the sky.
She returned to the Spirit Plant Garden.
She crashed through the light curtain and found a secluded spot, tossing the lion on the ground.
She immediately transformed into a human and stood with her arms crossed, trying to regulate her breathing.
Although she was reluctant to admit it, the situation was indeed as the White Hawk had said. The news about Lingxi Zhenren had spread from her as a joke, and she was also aware of the cultivator named Shen.
Logically, this matter should have drawn attention.
But she had assumed that Lingxi had already escaped the Thousand Demons Cave... Those despicable ones dared to deceive her by acting together.
The Golden-Winged Demon Sovereign clenched her teeth and glanced at Shen Yi with a hint of guilt, "This time, consider it my fault. Rest assured, I will compensate you."
Shen Yi frowned, covering his chest without replying, and coughed forcefully several times.
At the same time, he quietly looked around.
All around were fertile fields, filled with spiritual energy. Just by taking a whiff, one could feel their spiritual power becoming much more comfortable.
