Chapter 402: The Lion Empress's Third Return to the Thousand Demon Cave
Chapter 402: The Lion Empress's Third Return to the Thousand Demon Cave
Outside the Thousand Demon Cave, a massive python with a colorful skin coiled around a thick tree trunk, its forked tongue flickering as it kept a vigilant eye on its surroundings with its pitch-black eyes.
In an instant, a majestic figure descended from the sky, its claws gripping the python's most vulnerable spot and slamming it viciously onto the ground.
"Who?!?" the python exclaimed in shock.
The python was a powerful Demon King, but under the sharp lion claws, it didn't even have a chance to struggle.
As it caught a glimpse of its attacker's face, it quickly stopped struggling and said with a trembling voice, "The Lion Empress? You're still alive!"
The news had spread throughout the Thousand Demon Cave that the White Hawk Demon Sovereign, along with two other Great Demon Sovereigns, had gone out to handle some matters. But as soon as they arrived in Great Tian, they were blocked by Nie Jun, and their fate was unknown.
Although the figure before it looked miserable, covered in thunder injuries, it was undeniably alive!
"I want to know about the Giant Horned Demon King and the White Horse Demon King right now," Shen Yi demanded coldly, his eyes filled with killing intent. "Where are those two beasts now?"
Hearing the fearless words, the python dared not show the slightest hint of fear. This was a dispute between Great Demon Sovereigns, something it couldn't possibly involve itself in. "The Giant Horned Demon King has already returned to the Thousand Demon Cave. As for the White Hawk Demon King... I will immediately urge them to investigate with all their might! I guarantee to provide the Lion Empress with the fastest response!"
However, it could understand the lion's anger.
When the Demon Kings went out together, the Giant Horned Demon King returned without a single scratch on his body... It was obvious that he had sold out the Lion Empress to Nie Jun, and anyone would find it hard to bear.
Listening to this, it seemed that the White Hawk Demon King was also involved.
Tsk, if the Lion Empress had died, it would have been easier to explain, but now that she had returned alive, the situation had become much more interesting.
"I'll give you three days," Shen Yi said as he released his claws. "Make sure they all come to me."
"Yes, Your Highness!" The python finally escaped with its life, not daring to breathe heavily, and quickly crawled away into the distance.
It didn't notice that, in the instant it left, a golden bead had followed closely behind it, hidden by the array plate.
Shen Yi straightened his body and looked in the direction of the Thousand Demon Cave.
[Remaining Demon Life Force: 17,000 years]
This was the result of White Hawk's squandering of his life force.
With the identity of a Demon King, it was natural to exploit it to the extreme. With the scarcity of life force, he also took the opportunity to capture the dozens of Demon Kings he had seen last time.
He had originally planned to return directly using the identity of the White Horse Demon King.
But he was stopped by the Dark Nether Spider Sovereign.
The Demon Kings of the first three caves would inevitably have to deal with the old dog. Although the Nan Yang Transformation Art was inherited from the Southern Yang Sect, it might not be effective against the Great Demon Kings of the Reverting Void Realm, and the risk was too great.
In addition, Shen Yi also wanted to return to the eighth cave to take a look.
During his previous encounter with the White Hawk Demon King, it seemed like a crushing victory, but in reality, he had discovered a significant problem.
The Dao Palace, three hundred zhang tall, was majestic and grand... yet it felt so empty.
Aside from the nine Immortal Demons and the shadow on the offering platform cushion, the rest was filled with scarlet blood and demon clouds.
This was completely different from the Zijiao Thunder Sword Palace that Nie Jun had summoned.
It was like a painting where a bird was carefully depicted, but the empty spaces were randomly filled with ink, making it too crude.
The reason for this was that his cultivation had taken a wrong turn.
The original Infinite Dao Emperor Palace was a place for preaching to the common people, creating the Infinite Contemplation Diagram with tens of thousands of followers.
Although the quality of Shen Yi's nine Immortal Demons was far superior, the quantity was far from enough.
At this moment, the Contemplation Diagram had transformed into a Dao Palace.
Shen Yi had originally planned to slowly make up for this in the future, but after attempting to manifest it, he realized this approach was unfeasible.
At the Divine Transformation Realm, it might not be noticeable, but once he truly broke through to the Reverting Void Realm, it would become his fatal weakness.
Finding a solution within the Southern Yang Sect would be the best outcome.
If that was not possible, he would have to think of another way.
Shen Yi took a deep breath, and with his extensive experience of impersonating demons, he transformed into a menacing figure in an instant.
The next moment, Shen Yi directly soared into the towering archway.
...
The Third Cavern, the Alchemy Workshop.
Several Demon Sovereigns were on high alert, vigilantly guarding in front of the scorching light curtain.
With their unwavering focus, it was no different from the White Hawk Demon Sovereign personally standing guard. As long as they could delay for a moment, the other great Demon Sovereigns would quickly arrive.
Just as they were completely engrossed...
The snow-white, robust leopard demon at the forefront suddenly had its neck grabbed, and without any reaction, it was smashed and flung away!
Boom—
"Enemy attack!"
The remaining Demon Sovereigns roared sharply without hesitation.
But in an instant, they seemed to have their throats constricted, and they all fell silent.
"Are you saying that I, the Sovereign, am the enemy?"
The eight-zhang tall golden-eyed lion looked down at them.
On its pitiful body, thick blood energy emanated.
The massive lion's paw slowly clenched.
It bared its sharp fangs and let out a sinister laugh.
"We were just being too cautious..."
The other Demon Sovereigns retreated repeatedly, humbly pleading, "It was a slip of the tongue, please calm your anger, Lion Sovereign!"
Even though it was the other party's sudden attack that led to this misunderstanding, in front of the great Demon Sovereigns, there was no room for reasoning.
"Get out of my way."
Shen Yi withdrew his smile and indifferently strode forward.
"Lion Sovereign, please, this is against the rules..."
Although the demons were fearful in their hearts, they stubbornly blocked the entrance to the cave, cautiously extending their claws to push the lion, but they didn't dare to actually touch its fur.
"Rules?"
Shen Yi looked down, and within his golden eyes, shimmering light seemed ready to burst forth at any moment. His calm voice was chilling, "In the Thousand Demons Cave, I am the rules."
As he spoke, the bird demon was suddenly grabbed by the neck and lifted up.
"You don't recognize my rules?"
"..."
The bird demon instinctively flapped its wings, but under the lion's gaze, it couldn't bring itself to say a word of defiance.
It trembled, "Please wait a moment... We would never dare interfere with your affairs, Lion Sovereign, please wait."
Hearing this, the figure that had already appeared in the air sighed helplessly.
Somewhat anxiously, it descended towards the ground.
"Lion Sovereign, let's talk this out, don't hurt your own people."
The pair of massive cow horns on the woman's head could only belong to the Horned Demon Sovereign who had fled earlier.
However, compared to their previous encounter, her attire this time made Shen Yi pause slightly.
A black magic robe swayed slightly on her body, embroidered with the Southern Sun pattern in golden threads.
"This is the Elder's robe of the Southern Yang Sect, bestowed by the Cave Lord, and the Lion Sovereign is also entitled to it."
The Horned Demon Sovereign smiled awkwardly and instinctively took two steps back as the lion approached, having thrown the bird demon aside.
Fortunately, this magic robe gave her the confidence she needed.
After reacting, the Horned Demon Sovereign waved her hand, "I know the Lion Sovereign is angry, and the Horned One is indeed cowardly and weak. But facing such a formidable foe, it's only natural to preserve one's life."
"With this robe protecting your body, the Lion Sovereign cannot harm you today. Save your strength and heal your injuries. I'm sure the Horned One will give you a reasonable explanation."
In the past, even if she was in the wrong, she would never have been so polite to the lion.
But times have changed.
The fact that it survived in Nie Jun's hands made her unsure of its strength.
First, she needed to calm it down.
"Is that so?"
Shen Yi slowly opened his claws, clenching her waist and lifting her to eye level, "Can't hurt you? I'd like to test that."
"..."
The Horned Demon Sovereign's breathing quickened. She had said it, but she hadn't actually tested the robe's effectiveness.
Finally, she couldn't help but yield, "Lion Sovereign, there's no need for this. You've made great contributions to the Thousand Demons Cave, and today, you have the final say here."
