Chapter 408: Shen Yi Returns to the Great Qian Empire
[Slaying the Golden-Winged Nine-Striped Fierce Tiger of the Transformation God Realm, total lifespan of 96,000 years, 21,000 years of lifespan remaining, absorption complete.]
As the last prompt flashed before his eyes, Shen Yi had gained a total of 72,000 years of lifespan from the three-headed Demon Emperor.
[Remaining Demon lifespan: 88,000 years]
Shen Yi picked up the Nanyang Dharma Robe from the ground and casually draped it over his shoulders. With this, he now possessed three precious Elder-made robes, including the ones taken from the deer demon and the snake demon.
"...'"
He stripped the two demons bare and gazed at the black robe in his hands, smoother than silk, his fingertips gently caressing the Nanyang emblem.
A hint of confusion crept into his eyes.
The more he learned about the Nanyang Sect, the more enigmatic it became, rather than revealing clear answers.
The previous Dharma robe could be explained as a birthday gift prepared by the executor in advance, but they suddenly encountered a calamity and were unable to deliver it.
But how could he explain the situation now?
Dharma robes were not ordinary garments, and they needed to be washed and replaced.
Even if there were a few extra sets as backups, it didn't make sense for them to be so abundant that every demon and monster had one.
And what about the treasure pills and magical artifacts? Were they just left to gather dust in the warehouses as the sect faced destruction?
Even the caves left behind by the disciples contained countless treasures that could sustain outside cultivators for tens of thousands of years, fostering innumerable large and small forces.
In a normal situation, they should have used all their resources to put up a desperate resistance.
And if they truly couldn't withstand the enemy, they should have fled with their valuables.
The current situation was more like a group of sect cultivators singing and enjoying a hot pot when they suddenly vanished, leaving behind a silent but intact immortal sect.
Even the protective formation guarding the sect remained intact.
"The Daoist plaque..."
Shen Yi stood in the fourth cave, pondering for a moment.
Then, he raised his eyes and looked around.
As the Dao Palace reached its limit, he suddenly felt a sense of irritability rising within him.
It was as if he were a growing child forcibly stuffed into a narrow jar, feeling suffocated by the very heavens and earth around him.
The clear and boundless sky above seemed illusory and confining.
Shen Yi retracted his gaze.
Compared to the intangible and ethereal state of mind, his physical condition was far worse.
The brilliant sand transformed from the Demon-Subduing Golden Arrow showed no signs of dissipating over time; instead, it became more aggressive, gradually forming a shackle within his five viscera and firmly sealing them.
Shen Yi opened the panel and began exchanging for demon origins.
He poured in four consecutive pills.
The soul of the Golden-Winged Nine-Striped Fierce Tiger was slowly sent into the suppressing stone by Shen Yi.
In the next moment, a golden-winged demon tiger with a pair of wings on its back leaped out from his brow, bowed its head, and crouched on the ground. "Golden Wing pays respect to my master."
Its voice was filled with reverence.
However, it refused to lift its head, silently staring at its front paws, as if they held something captivating.
"How should the damage caused by that golden arrow be eliminated?" Shen Yi asked, glancing sideways.
"Golden Wing does not know," replied the tiger.
The tigress knocked her head on the ground, making a loud banging sound. "Golden Wing has harmed my master and deserves to die. I beg my master to grant me death!"
"..."
Shen Yi narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous aura emanated from his pitch-black pupils.
The torture inflicted by the demon origin on the soul was evident from Qinghua's experience in the past. Even the stronger Bai Hong, after enduring 60,000 years of torment, eventually became docile and rubbed her head against his palm.
He didn't doubt that the Golden Winged Demon Emperor was deceiving him.
After all, there was the suppressing stone to keep it in check.
This group of creatures had no ability to resist.
What Shen Yi found amiss was its attitude.
He casually walked in front of the tiger, abruptly lifted its head, and stared indifferently into its eyes.
"Woo... woo..."
The golden-winged demon emperor's lips quivered, her pupils filled with grievances. She wanted to avert her gaze, but she dared not resist the young man's palm, even though he appeared to be on the verge of extinguishing like a flickering oil lamp.
That was the natural submission the suppressing stone instilled in its owner.
"Whether you live or die is not up to you," Shen Yi said indifferently as he released her head.
He kicked her buttocks with his foot.
"Go to work."
"Golden Wing obeys."
The golden-winged demon empress whined in resentment but obeyed, lowering her head and walking toward the ravaged spiritual garden.
Whether in the form of a lion or this handsome young man, the golden-winged tiger was always an overbearing existence, not tolerating any questioning, and even a refusal to meet his gaze would offend the master's dignity.
Thinking of this, she looked toward the spiritual garden in front of her.
Indeed, the master had not lied.
Fourteen thousand years ago, the voice that echoed in her ears as she lay dying was still crystal clear in her memory.
In the end, she and the fourth cave had become the master's possessions.
"Oh well, the demons had already destroyed most of it. Let's just take what we can," he said to himself.
He sat down with his legs crossed and once again channeled the demon emperor's lifespan energy into the Morning Sun Palace.
[Year One: You placed the Ferocious Tiger Suppressing Stone into the Morning Sun Palace, harnessing her bloodline to comprehend a new Daoist technique.]
[Myriad Demons' Obeisance: Shocking the Soul]
[Your Morning Sun Palace has become more stable.]
...
Outside the Thousand Demons' Cave.
A man with a face the color of vermilion had no eyes or nose, only a large mouth filled with sharp teeth.
His upper body was bare, and his legs were covered in thick, green hair. He had large hooves, and his body and limbs were covered in talismans.
He patted his shoulder, and several charred talismans turned to ashes and scattered.
"Your sword is as sharp as ever."
"..."
By the stream below, a man in a green robe leaned against a stone, his skin cracked, dyeing the rushing water a dark red.
He propped himself up with the Mysterious Sword.
Instead of shooting out with a wave of his hand as it had in the past, the Purple Cloud Godly Thunder Sword Technique now manifested as purple thunder, covering the Mysterious Sword.
The Godwind Demon Emperor looked down: "This emperor truly cannot understand, are you stupid? Do you know who I am? You draw your sword and attack as soon as you see me?"
"If I kill you, I don't need to know."
Nie Jun tugged at the corner of his mouth and staggered to his feet.
"Do you have the ability to do that?" The Godwind Demon Emperor asked, looking at the Morning Sun Palace dissipating in the sky.
"Doesn't seem like it."
Nie Jun stumbled onto the Mysterious Sword, and just as the Godwind Demon Emperor thought he was going to flee, Nie Jun's body turned into purple thunder and he charged straight at the emperor!
Swish—
The sound of thunder and rushing wind roared together!
The Godwind Demon Emperor quickly dodged, but Nie Jun suddenly hugged him and forced him down to the ground.
The Mysterious Sword, accompanied by thunderous light, shot up from below.
It pierced through both of their bodies.
The two figures fell into the stream with a loud splash and began to fight hand-to-hand.
"You mother are truly insane."
The Godwind Demon Emperor punched Nie Jun in the face, but before he could finish his sentence, Nie Jun lunged at him like a mad dog and bit down on the edge of his large mouth.
Tear!
The Godwind Demon Emperor's mouth tore, and his face became several times more ferocious.
"Ptooey."
Nie Jun spat out a few sharp teeth, and his face was punched again.
The Godwind Demon Emperor pulled out the Mysterious Sword that pierced his body, and with a 'pu' sound, he slashed it into Nie Jun's shoulder, embedding it in his abdomen, nearly cutting him in half.
Then, he stared at the mad dog that refused to let go of his neck: "Get off me!"
He released the sword hilt and weakly kicked Nie Jun, sending him flying to the other end of the stream: "Are you even a cultivator?"
"None of your business."
Nie Jun's eyes were dazed, his whole body soaked in the stream. He took a few breaths and tried to stand again, but he fell back down after only a few steps.
The Godwind Demon Emperor took a few deep breaths, intending to go to him, but he noticed that Nie Jun was downstream, yet blood mixed with the water was flowing from upstream, past his feet.
He turned around instinctively.
At the other end of the stream stood a young man with an erect posture.
The oversized black robe, which was obviously ill-fitting, was lifted by the mountain wind, exposing his body. He didn't even bother to properly wear his clothes, revealing his bloody and mutilated upper body, with terrifying gashes on his well-built muscles.
Upon seeing the Nanyang Dharma Robe.
The Godwind Demon Emperor's face twitched twice. "Damn, something's wrong."
How could this be?
Those beasts wore the best Dharma robes, carried various magical artifacts, and even fought under the old dog's watchful eye, yet they still lost?
Fine, they lost.
But this young man, despite appearing heavily injured, exuded contempt in his eyes, clearly not treating the emperor as a threat.
He was obviously full of confidence.
Finally, the emperor heard him speak.
"Scram."
The voice wasn't loud, but to the Godwind Demon Emperor, it was deafening.
Immediately after, he watched as Shen Yi walked towards him.
Tap, tap, tap.
In the quiet atmosphere, the sound of the splashing water was particularly piercing.
The black-robed youth walked past the Godwind Demon Emperor without haste, not even sparing him a glance. He reached Nie Jun's side and grabbed his clothes, lifting him up.
Only then did Shen Yi turn his head and glance at the Godwind Demon Emperor.
"..."
The Godwind Demon Emperor arched his back, testing the waters.
At the same time, a thread of scarlet, like ink dripping into a clear pool, spread across the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye, covering a distance of five hundred zhang in an instant.
"Huff."
The Godwind Demon Emperor glanced at the few remaining talismans on its body.
Coupled with the faintly shimmering black robe on the young man.
It finally decided to retreat.
Regardless, it would first return to the Thousand Demons' Cave to inquire about the situation.
Without uttering a word,
The Godwind Demon Emperor turned and streaked away into the distance!
Only when its figure completely disappeared from view.
Did the palace in the air gradually fade away.
Shen Yi's heart lurched as his Dao Infant's five viscera convulsed. Golden patterns emerged from his chest, spreading across his body.
Within his sea of consciousness, the two Suppression Stones that had been poised for action finally couldn't help but exclaim.
If the Godwind Demon Emperor had shown any sign of movement earlier, they would have taken action to hold it back, giving their master time to escape.
The Golden-Winged Fierce Tiger revealed itself, quickly supporting Shen Yi's body and shielding him with its golden wings.
"Chit Yao Golden Arrow?"
Nie Jun mumbled as he dazedly opened his eyes, gazing at the golden patterns on Shen Yi's body.
Without any unnecessary words,
He began performing intricate hand seals, and as he did so, the golden patterns on Shen Yi's body slowly converged into a mass.
Nie Jun's hands trembled violently.
Once again, he forcibly manipulated his qi, causing his eyes to darken.
After an unknown amount of time had passed.
He managed to perform the ninth hand seal with difficulty, and the golden light finally slowly drifted out from Shen Yi's chest, reforming into a golden arrow.
Seeing this, Nie Jun promptly fainted.
"..."
There was even an unexpected harvest.
Shen Yi casually put away the Chit Yao Golden Arrow into his storage artifact and immediately began gulping down demon pills to replenish his energy.
Although his Dao Infant's five viscera were still damaged by the golden light, at least he could move them somewhat.
He summoned the white horse again and threw Nie Jun onto its back.
Shen Yi, on the other hand, mounted the Golden-Winged Demon Empress, lying on her back as his tense body finally relaxed completely.
Golden light and white radiance interweaved as they streaked towards the Great Qian Empire.
...
Outside the grand hall deep within the Thousand Demons' Cave.
The Godwind Demon Emperor rushed back, but as soon as it landed in front of the hall, its steps faltered.
Two heavily injured Demon Emperors knelt at the entrance of the hall, while the Giant Horned Demon Emperor stood cautiously to the side, not daring to make a sound.
And that old dog, who had finally untangled its heart knot and come out of the hall to lie on the stone steps, had returned to the hall.
With its cultivation, these few steps made no difference at all.
The old dog's actions only proved that it had become vigilant once more.
Even through the hall door, the Godwind Demon Emperor could sense the thick murderous aura. As the second cave's Demon Emperor, it had personally witnessed how terrifying the old dog was when it was in a vigilant state.
Its slaughter was merciless.
Anyone with the slightest connection to the Nanyang Sect was eradicated.
From cultivators about to join the sect to newborn infants, even their tamed spiritual beasts were devoured without exception.
Furthermore.
The second time it took action was when Wutong Mountain wanted to use the name of the Nanyang Sect.
It killed three Returning Void cultivators in one move.
It collected almost all the palace-sealing artifacts, nearly severing the legacy of the human cultivators.
"Come in."
The old dog's voice slowly echoed out.
The Godwind Demon Emperor shuddered but dared not hesitate. It stepped into the hall.
"Where did you go?"
The black-backed old dog curled up on a meditation cushion, asking lazily.
"Your subordinate, Godwind, was entangled by Nie Jun and fought fiercely with him. Just as I was about to kill him, a young man wearing the robe of a Nanyang Elder arrived. The two of them joined forces to repel me, and then they fled using an escape technique."
The Godwind Demon Emperor respectfully replied, "Godwind sensed that something was amiss in the Thousand Demons' Cave and didn't dare to pursue them further. I hurried back to take a look."
As it spoke, it quietly glanced towards the old dog's front, where a figure seemed to appear and disappear in the shadow of the giant ancestor statue.
"..."
The old dog lifted its eyelids, glancing at the talismans on the Godwind Demon Emperor's body.
It retracted its gaze without saying anything.
The Godwind Demon Emperor waited for a while, then bowed again and said, "If the Cave Master has no other orders, Godwind will return to guard the cave."
Upon hearing this, the old dog suddenly smiled, "Is there any need to guard it?"
A human cultivator had boldly intruded into the Thousand Demons' Cave, wandering around their treasure troves.
Whatever could be taken was probably already taken.
The old dog slowly got up, turning to look at the ancestor statue. It held three incense sticks in its mouth, carefully inserting them into the incense burner.
