Chapter 393: The Rat's Breach of Defense
Chapter 393: The Rat's Breach of Defense
"..."
Shen Yi patted the dust off his Dharmic Robe and reached for his storage bag, only to find it empty.
He slowly clenched his fist.
After taking several deep breaths, he managed to suppress his anger.
All the demon cores he had accumulated on the journey from Songzhou to the present were gone! Every single one of them!
Five whole swords!
If he didn't empty and devour Wutong Mountain, he would write his name backwards from now on.
"Go and find that white horse for me."
Shen Yi released the Dark Nether Spider Sovereign and the Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign.
In his mind, he also gave Qinghua an order.
Anger was anger, but he couldn't let go of the things he needed to obtain.
By this time, the White Hawk Demon Sovereign had already escaped far away.
"My lord..."
Lady Qinghua forcefully suppressed her anger and pleaded, "Please let Qinghua slay Nie Jun."
"Find the white horse first."
Shen Yi still knew which was more valuable, and besides, wishing to surpass Nie Jun with his Golden Body Dharmic Form was a bit like a pipe dream.
Speaking of which, if it weren't for Nie Jun today, wanting to deal with this demon calamity on his own would have been a stretch.
But that was just logic.
Shen Yi couldn't accept watching all the resources he had accumulated along the way being depleted right before his eyes.
If Zhen Yao Mountain couldn't provide sufficient compensation, this matter wouldn't be over!
Qinghua hesitated for a moment before reluctantly saying, "Yes, Qinghua obeys."
Shen Yi adjusted his emotions and reluctantly took out the Vermilion Cloud from his storage bag.
With insufficient resources, he could only resort to using some old items.
Stepping onto the Vermilion Cloud, he had mixed feelings about the Dharmic Robe he was wearing. Even under Nie Jun's relentless sword technique, he hadn't suffered any injuries, but the consumption was still terrifying.
Shen Yi withdrew his gaze and rode the cloud towards Li Zhou.
...
Li Zhou Armament Sect.
Xu Qing'er was meticulously inscribing array symbols on the furnace.
Several old men were excitedly squatting beside her, as they had always thought that if they could use array formations to assist in artifact refinement, it would surely be effective. However, they had never found a way to do so.
Not only could this young lady fulfill their various ingenious ideas for artifact refinement,
but she could also effortlessly combine them with the process.
"You are the true master of array formations!"
"You're too kind, seniors. I've only dabbled in it a little."
Xu Qing'er wiped the sweat from her forehead and carefully examined the furnace in front of her, checking if there were any more places that needed improvement.
This was the only task Shen Yi had left for Great Qian before his departure.
Even though it had been completed long ago, she still wanted to make it as perfect as possible.
Xu Qing'er stood up and walked out of the stuffy room.
Her aunt was waiting outside, bored, and had thought that after coming out, she could wander around freely.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yi had turned around and left them in Great Qian.
Xu Wanyun was already starting to miss the days when she followed him around aimlessly in the Thousand Demons Cave.
"That's right!"
She suddenly turned around, remembering the Thousand Demons Cave, as the recent rumors about it had been spreading like wildfire: "Do you know that the Thousand Demons Cave has proclaimed to the world that another great demon sovereign has appeared... Can you guess its name?"
"What?"
Xu Qing'er looked over curiously, wondering why her aunt was making such a fuss over the name of a demon.
"Tsk."
Xu Wanyun was about to speak when she was startled by the footsteps behind her.
Turning around, she exclaimed with delight, "When did you get back!"
"Just now."
Shen Yi lightly nodded and headed towards the room.
Xu Qing'er watched Shen Yi's back, still as calm as ever. His black robe was spotless, as if the dangers outside were just a leisurely stroll for him.
"Did you make this?" Shen Yi examined the exquisite furnace before him.
Xu Qing'er, slightly shy, stood with her hands behind her back, "I crafted it together with several Armament Sect elders... I'm not sure if it'll work."
"You've worked hard."
Shen Yi nodded and tossed over two jade slips, "Take these and copy them, then keep them for later."
Xu Qing'er held the jade slips in her hands without rushing to examine them, "Brother Shen, what pill are you refining? Do you need me to provide additional spell formations?"
"Go about your business. I'll call for you if I need anything." Shen Yi waved his hand slightly.
"Oh."
Xu Qing'er pursed her lips, secretly wishing she could stay by his side longer instead of just giving a gift.
But she obediently turned and left.
At least she had a gift, unlike the others.
She closed the door.
Xu Qing'er glanced at her curious aunt and excitedly waved the jade slip in her hand, then infused her divine consciousness into it.
The next moment, her face turned pale.
"This is..."
Xu Qing'er instinctively covered her mouth, swallowing the rest of her words.
Only when her aunt approached with suspicion did she whisper with rapid breaths, "This is the Divine Forging Heavenly Silk from the Wutong Mountain's Tong Xincuan."
As a family that studied the ways of a hundred schools, how could they possibly overlook the existence of a fellow array master?
Upon hearing this, Xu Wanyun's expression also became peculiar.
The cultivation techniques of Wutong Mountain, and that too on a jade slip, not a copied version, how could it end up in Shen Yi's hands?
She also recalled the unfinished matter from earlier and whispered, "The new Demon Emperor of the Thousand Demons Cave... is called the Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign."
Xu Qing'er abruptly pressed the jade slip to her heart, "..."
When she looked at her aunt, she saw that she too was breathing heavily.
The Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign, they had personally witnessed Shen Yi slay, even his head was smashed by the Golden Body Dharmic Form.
If it could come back to life, there would be no need to resist the Thousand Demons Cave in the future, they might as well just wait for death.
"So..."
Xu Qing'er blinked, could it be that during the time Brother Shen was away, he didn't go to slay demons and eliminate monsters, but instead became the Demon Emperor of the Thousand Demons Cave?!
He even helped her obtain a secret technique from Wutong Mountain?
The two women exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with trepidation, yet without hesitation, they extinguished the speculations in their eyes.
Regardless, Brother Shen must have his reasons for doing things!
...
Listening to the faint conversation outside the door, Shen Yi's expression remained unchanged.
There were few people he trusted, and he didn't give many instructions because he believed in Xu Qing'er's intelligence.
"How is it?"
He glanced to the side.
The Azure Deer Ancestor circled the furnace once, "Reporting to my master, it's barely usable."
It raised its head to explain, "I'm not saying this furnace is bad, even Azure Deer would have a hard time finding such a good item, but the grade of the Soul Transformation Pill and the Mind-Relieving Pill is too high, it's not something mortal strength can satisfy."
Shen Yi nodded, "As long as it's usable."
His current strength was far from sufficient compared to the tasks he had to accomplish.
Even with the help of the Dao Palace and using all means, it might not be possible to defeat the White Hawk Demon Sovereign, let alone facing a bunch of Demon Emperors inside the Thousand Demons Cave.
He sat cross-legged and opened the panel.
[Remaining Demon Lifespan: 24,000 years]
Even for a powerful existence like the Thousand-Legged Demon Emperor, the remaining lifespan was somewhat worrying.
But to slaughter other demons without reason would be difficult to explain.
This trip, where he slaughtered nearly a third of the Demon Emperors in the Thousand Demons Cave without arousing suspicion, was already extremely fortunate.
After obtaining the Southern Yang Sect's legacy, it wouldn't be too late to consider turning against them.
