Chapter 402: The Lion King Returns to the Thousand Demon Cave Thrice
Chapter 402: The Lion King Returns to the Thousand Demon Cave Thrice
Outside the Thousand Demon Cave.
Coiled around the thick branches of a sturdy giant tree was a flower-skinned python, its tongue flicking as a pair of pitch-black eyes warily scanned the surroundings.
In an instant.
A majestic figure descended from the heavens, its sharp lion claws gripping the python's vital spot and viciously slamming it onto the ground.
"Who dares?!"
The python was a powerful Demon King, but under those sharp lion claws, it didn't even have the qualification to struggle.
When it saw the figure's appearance clearly, it quickly stopped struggling and said with dread, "Lion King? You're still alive!"
The news had spread throughout the Thousand Demon Cave. The White Phoenix Yao Emperor, along with two other great Yao Emperors, had left to handle matters in the outside world. They had just arrived in Da Qian when they were blocked by Nie Kun, and their fate was unknown.
Despite his pitiful appearance and body covered in thunder wounds, he had indeed returned alive!
"I want to know about Giant Horn and White Horse right now." Shen Yi's cold gaze was filled with killing intent as he demanded, "Where are those two beasts now?"
Hearing these words of disdain, the giant python dared not show the slightest hint of unusual color. This was a dispute between the Great Yao Emperors, and it was not something it could involve itself in. "Giant Horn Yao Emperor has already returned to the Thousand Demon Cave. As for White Swan Yao Emperor... I will immediately urge them to do their best to investigate! I guarantee that we will reply to Lion Emperor with the fastest speed!"
However, it could understand the lion's anger.
When the several Yao Emperors went out together, Giant Horn Yao Emperor returned without a single injury on his body... This obviously meant that Lion King had been sold out to Nie Kun, and anyone would be furious about that.
From the sound of it, the White Yao Emperor seemed to be involved as well.
Tsk, if the Lion King had died, it would have been easier to explain. Now that he's alive, the situation has become much more interesting.
"Three days. I'm only giving you three days."
Shen Yi released his claws and coldly said, "Make them all come to me."
"Yes, Lion King!"
The giant python finally saved its life, daring not to breathe heavily, and quickly crawled away into the distance.
It didn't notice that at the moment it left, a golden bead, concealed by an array plate, had already secretly followed it.
Shen Yi stood upright, gazing in the direction of the Thousand Demon Cave.
【Remaining Demon Magic Life Span: 17,000 years】
This was the result of Bai Hong wasting his life span.
Since he had the identity of a Yao Emperor, he naturally wanted to exploit it to the extreme. It was timely that life spans were scarce, and he also took the opportunity to collect the dozens of Demon Kings he had seen last time.
He had originally wanted to return directly as White Horse.
But Xuan Ming Zhu Emperor advised him against it.
The Yao Emperors of the first three caves inevitably had to deal with the old dog. Although the Transformation Technique was a legacy of the Nanyang Sect, it might not be effective against the great demons in the Returning 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 Yao Emperor, it seemed like a crushing victory, but it had actually revealed a big problem.
The 300-foot-long Dao Palace was majestic and vast... but it felt empty.
Aside from the Nine-Headed Immortal Demon and the meditating figure on the rush mat, the rest of the palace was filled with scarlet blood sea demon clouds.
This was completely different from the Purple Xiao Divine Thunder Sword Palace that Nie Kun had sacrificed back then.
It was like a painting where a bird had been carefully depicted, and then the blank spaces were randomly filled with ink, making it look very rough.
The reason for this was that he had taken a wrong step in his cultivation.
The original Wuliang Dao Emperor's Palace was meant to spread the Dao to all living beings, creating the Wuliang Guanxiang Tu that attracted tens of thousands of people.
While the quality of Shen Yi's Nine-Headed Immortal Demon was far superior, the quantity was far from sufficient.
At this moment, the Guanxiang Tu had transformed into a Dao Palace.
Shen Yi had originally thought that he could slowly make up for it later, but after truly displaying it, he realized that this path was impossible.
It might not be noticeable in the Transformation God Realm, but once he truly broke through to the Returning Void Realm, it would become his fatal weakness.
If he could find a solution within the Nanyang Sect, that would be the best outcome.
If not, he would have to think of something else.
"Huo."
With that in mind, Shen Yi took a deep breath. After such a long time of pretending to be a demon, he barely needed to think before instantly transforming into a vicious and murderous appearance.
Third Cave, the Pill Refinery.
Several Yao Emperors were on high alert, cautiously guarding the scorching light barrier.
With their vigilance, it wasn't much different from White Hong Yao Emperor guarding himself. As long as they could stall for some time, the other Great Yao Emperors would rush over immediately.
Just as they were fully focused.
The snow-white and robust leopard demon at the forefront suddenly had its neck pinched, and without any reaction, it was slammed away!
Boom—
"Enemy attack!"
The remaining Yao Emperors unleashed shrill roars without hesitation.
However, in just an instant, they seemed to have their throats clutched, and all fell silent together.
"Are you calling me the enemy?"
The eight-zhang-tall golden-eyed lion looked down at them.
His pitiful body exuded a dense bloody aura.
The massive lion claws slowly clenched.
He bared his sharp fangs and let out a sinister smile.
"We were just being too cautious—"
The few Yao Emperors retreated again and again, humbly saying, "It was a slip of the tongue. Please calm your anger, Lion Emperor!"
Even if it was because the other party suddenly attacked, causing this misunderstanding.
But in front of the Great Yao Emperors, where could they argue?
"Get lost."
Shen Yi retracted his smile and indifferently stepped forward.
"Lion Emperor, this won't do! You're breaking the rules..."
Although the demons were fearful, they still obstinately blocked the cave mansion's entrance, carefully extending their claws to push the lion but not daring to truly touch his fur.
"Rules?"
Shen Yi looked down, his golden eyes shimmering with flowing light, as if they would release golden light at any moment. His voice was calmly frightening: "In the Thousand Demon Cave, I am the rule."
As he spoke, the bird demon was suddenly grabbed by the neck and lifted up.
"You don't acknowledge my rules?"
"... "
The bird demon instinctively flapped its wings, but facing the lion's gaze, it couldn't bring itself to say the word "no."
It trembled and said, "Wait a moment... We absolutely dare not meddle in your business, Lion Emperor. Please wait a moment."
Hearing this, the figure that had already appeared in the air sighed helplessly.
Somewhat tensely, she descended towards the ground.
"Lion Emperor, let's talk this out. Don't hurt your own people."
The pair of huge bull horns on the woman's head could belong to none other than the Giant Horn Yao Emperor who had fled earlier.
However, compared to the last time they met.
Her attire this time made Shen Yi pause slightly.
Upon her body was a black robe embroidered with a golden pattern of the 'Great Sun of Mount Nan' in South.
"This is the Elder's robe of the Nanyang Sect. It was bestowed by the Cave Master, and Lion Emperor also has one."
Giant Horn Yao Emperor smiled awkwardly, and facing the lion who threw down the bird demon and walked towards her, she instinctively took two steps back.
Fortunately, this robe gave her enough confidence.
After reacting, Giant Horn Yao Emperor waved her hand: "I know Lion Emperor is angry, and Giant Horn is indeed cowardly and weak. But facing such a powerful enemy, leaving a useful body behind is also a natural instinct."
"With this robe protecting me, Lion Emperor can't hurt me today. Why don't you conserve your strength and heal your wounds? Giant Horn will definitely give you a reasonable explanation."
If it were in the past, even if she was in the wrong, she wouldn't have been so polite to the lion.
But today was different from the past.
The fact that he could survive in Nie Kun's hands made her unsure of his strength.
First, she had to stabilize him.
"Is that so?"
Shen Yi slowly opened his claws and clenched her waist and abdomen, lifting her to his eyes: "I can't hurt you? I really want to try that."
"... "
Giant Horn Yao Emperor's breathing quickened, and she said, "I may have said that, but I've never tested the effects of this robe."
Finally, she couldn't help but soften her tone: "Lion Emperor, there's no need for this. You've established great merit for the Thousand Demon Cave, and today, you have the final say here."
