Chapter 399: Don't Take My Master's Prey
Chapter 399: Don't Take My Master's Prey
"Huff."
Shen Yi's hurried departure had a reason behind it.
This pill refinement had taken nearly two months, and he had just received some unsettling news.
First, the Dark Nether Spider Sovereign, based on its understanding of Bai Ma, had located its hiding place.
Qinghua had volunteered to go and slay it.
The Spider Sovereign had to exert all its strength to persuade her to back down.
"My Master, you should know what place that white horse is guarding."
It was the Alchemy Hall of the Southern Yang Sect, where the most precious treasure pills of this heavenly realm were stored.
"Trust me, it didn't directly return to the Thousand Demons Cave. It's definitely up to no good!"
Now, everyone believed that it was severely injured and on the verge of death, fleeing in disarray. But if it wasn't as badly injured, it could do a lot more in this situation.
"I understand."
Shen Yi stopped Qinghua and found a secluded spot to land.
He opened the panel.
[Remaining Demon Lifespan: 20,000 years]
His once-abundant lifespan now seemed somewhat limited after his realm breakthrough.
First, the Dao Palace required a significant amount of lifespan, and the Dragon Leap Heavenly Virgin had only just achieved minor success.
Not to mention there was also a Spirit Body Technique that led directly to the Reverting Void Realm, eagerly awaiting cultivation.
Shen Yi occasionally wondered if he was being too eccentric.
Setting aside his natural talent for a moment.
Which cultivator would cultivate so many methods and strive for perfection in each?
Even the admired Nie Jun relied solely on the Zijiao Thunder Sword Technique and the accompanying Reverting Void Dao Palace.
But every time he survived due to a particular method, he instinctively wanted to learn more.
Killing a few more demons was troublesome, but it was still better than dying himself.
With this in mind, Shen Yi channeled his lifespan into the Infinite Demon Imperial Palace.
[First Year: You activate the five viscera of your Dao Infant, desperately calling upon the heavenly essence. Compared to the shallow hundred-li pool before, in your perception, a vast ocean of three thousand three hundred li flows freely. Such a vast heavenly essence rapidly supplements your Dao Palace.]
The demon lifespan quickly dissipated.
Shen Yi, like a painter, sketched a sinister scroll in the heavens.
Only when the lifespan was exhausted did he withdraw from this profound sensation, reluctantly exhaling a long breath.
[20,000th Year: You gaze upon your Dao Palace, which is over three hundred zhang tall, marveling at its vastness.]
[Reverting Void Realm. Infinite Demon Imperial Palace: Great Accomplishment]
Witnessing his realm leap from entry to great accomplishment, Shen Yi finally understood.
The progress of the Dao Palace Technique might be related to his spirit root.
For those cultivators with inferior spirit roots, a Dao Palace three to fifty zhang wide would likely be their limit.
But for himself, judging by his previous sensations, with sufficient lifespan, around five hundred zhang would be the limit.
"Still a long way to go."
Shen Yi slowly stood up and looked in the direction of the numerous demon souls.
"My Master, there are outsiders approaching. Should I stop them?"
Qinghua's inquiry echoed in his mind.
Shen Yi was slightly surprised. Besides himself, there were others searching for Bai Ma?
He gave an affirmative response and immediately used the Dragon Leap Heavenly Virgin technique to disappear from his original spot.
...
In the tranquil depths of the mountains.
The three halted their incantations and swiftly descended into the forest.
"Are you sure it's here?"
Tong Xincuan had changed out of her original crimson robe and was now wearing an inconspicuous ink robe.
Instead of using the Forging Divine Heavenly Silk Array, she held a gilded long arrow.
Yu Daoan closely followed, holding the array plate to conceal their presence.
"That's right."
Miao Qinghui pinched her incantation, and the Mystic Tower floated before her, emitting an invisible light curtain that spread in all directions.
The three had come under their master's orders, carrying the Demon Command Golden Arrow, to relieve their senior martial brother's worries.
Qingfeng used to handle such matters.
But this time, it was too complicated, far exceeding the capabilities of ordinary cultivators like them.
Master still doted on Nie Shixiong to the extreme, just as before, even at the expense of the lives of the other disciples, to ensure Nie Jun's safety.
But Miao Qinghui and the others still came without complaint.
Even Yu Chao'an, with his simple-mindedness, understood why Nie Shixiong had rashly descended the mountain this time.
Under the other party's nose, their fellow disciples had returned one after another with severe injuries.
Finally, this provoked the wrath of this ruthless Shixiong.
"Can this Golden Arrow alone be used to slay it?"
Yu Chao'an took a deep breath. He had never fought against the Ten Great Demon Emperors before: "Moreover, the Horned Demon Emperor and the Lion are still missing, and there's no news about Nie Shixiong's cultivation. Can we really keep it under wraps?"
"Let's first slay the White Hawk Demon Emperor, and take things one step at a time."
Tong Xincuan exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.
Although he suspected that the Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign and Shen Yi were the same person, he had no evidence, and his heart was still filled with worry.
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have listened to Master.
What's the point of not telling Shixiong about the outside world? When it's time to leave the mountain, no one can stop him anyway.
This time, it's all messed up.
Whether it's Shixiong or the Lion who gets injured, it's something Tong Xincuan can't accept.
Thinking of this, he suddenly froze.
Then, a strange smile appeared on his lips.
In his instinctive judgment, he actually felt that Shixiong might be at a disadvantage against the Lion...
It was just this moment of daze.
Suddenly, he heard Miao Shijie's warning: "Careful!"
Before her words had finished, a powerful aura instantly raged, and the dazzling golden light almost filled their entire field of vision.
The three of them immediately became solemn.
But after seeing the extra figure in front of them, they all froze for a moment.
The previously silent forest now had an additional towering figure ten zhang tall.
The golden Dharmic Body stood like a small mountain, its feather cape as thin as a cicada's wing gently fluttering, and a pair of golden eyes filled with indifference looking down at them.
Coiled dragon serpents on both arms showed their fangs.
Although he didn't speak, he exuded an air of rejection that couldn't be refused.
"You scared me."
Miao Qinghui patted her chest, still feeling a lingering fear: "What are you doing here? Stop fooling around, we're here on serious business."
Yu Chao'an, on the other hand, looked warily into the depths.
Their carefully concealed aura was now exposed, and if it disturbed the White Hawk Demon Emperor, they might face many more twists and turns.
Only Tong Xincuan remained silent, staring at the Golden Body.
After a moment, he raised the Demon Command Golden Arrow in his hand as a signal.
The Golden Body slowly shook its head.
Seeing this, Tong Xincuan nodded slightly to indicate his understanding, then whispered, "Retreat."
Shen Yi didn't need their help with what he was about to do.
Although he didn't know the specifics, it certainly had a deep meaning, perhaps to take advantage of the opportunity to gain the Demon Emperor's trust? This was indeed a good opportunity.
"You're leaving now?"
Yu Chao'an paused: "The chance to severely injure the third cave's Demon Emperor doesn't come around often."
Before he could finish, Miao Qinghui had already pulled him away.
"No, isn't Shen Yi our father?"
Yu Chao'an sighed in exasperation. The last time he saw him, that kid was still fighting the Red Heart Snake Emperor in the middle Soul Transformation stage. Even with his growth, it shouldn't be enough for Shixiong and Shijie to disregard Master's orders.
"Shut up, idiot."
Tong Xincuan glanced at him and quickly withdrew, rising into the air.
Just then, the three of them saw a white figure soaring up from the depths of the mountain range, accompanied by a suffocating, overwhelming Demon Qi.
"Ah, this..."
Miao Qinghui quickly retrieved the Mystic Tower. Indeed, the unconcealed aura from the Golden Body earlier had startled the giant demon.
Judging by the dense Demon Qi, the opponent didn't seem to be severely injured.
Subconsciously, she looked at the Golden Body.
She saw him standing with his arms crossed, without any movement, and no sign of panic.
