Chapter 664: I Quite Like Him
Chapter 664: I Quite Like Him
This green-robed ape demon, if not intended to be executed, would undoubtedly be a hot potato for the Divine Dynasty.
The longer it stays in Juyang Prefecture, the more rumors will spread like wildfire, intensifying with time.
Therefore, after Shen Yi agreed, the carriage was promptly arranged.
There were no marks on the carriage indicating its association with the Divine Dynasty, and the beast pulling it was not a royal steed but a peculiar creature with indigo stripes and a hint of qilin-like elegance. It was said to be borrowed from a prominent figure and was called the Azure Mane Lion.
"Will this work?"
Meng Xiwen stood in front of the carriage, a hint of worry in his voice.
Despite the golden ring binding the ape demon, he had personally experienced its formidable power, and even with his inner resentment, he had to admit its terror.
Moreover, the ape demon's erratic and cunning nature added to the challenge. Shen Yi, leaving Ye Lan behind, chose to escort the demon alone.
"The Divine Dynasty sent you to send me back to Jade Pool! How dare you, a mere Peak Master of Divine Void Mountain, defy their orders! Don't you fear trouble for your sect?"
Ye Lan stood with her hands clasped, gazing silently downward.
Ye Lan began to explain, but suddenly paused, finding herself at a loss for words. Indeed, Meng Xiwen was often unruly, causing unnecessary trouble. However, Shen Yi was far from obedient; when it came to causing a ruckus, he far surpassed Meng Xiwen.
Ye Lan sighed softly, "He has helped me a lot on this journey, and this time, he doesn't want to see me in distress."
The ape demon timidly raised its head, breathing heavily. After a simple gesture, it realized the gap between itself and its opponent.
The demon roared, its eyes wide, and reacted swiftly, lashing out with its right arm towards Ye Lan.
In a similar pose, the ape demon, despite being grasped by Ye Lan, managed to emit an ear-piercing laugh even as Ye Lan's fingers pierced its throat.
However, a clear sound echoed in its ear.
He remained silent, merely observing the demon.
She smiled helplessly, her eyes lowered, "General Yan, you don't seem to like Shen Yi very much?"
The demon's eyes flashed with malice as it turned towards the carriage.
In the next moment, the figure that had been sitting upright suddenly leaped to its feet.
Even the Azure Mane Lion pulling the carriage paused in surprise.
"Huff."
The demon smiled and turned towards Shen Yi, patting his shoulder.
"I know Divine Void Mountain well. The Pill Peak's master is that young lady named Ye, a proper Taiyi Immortal who has undergone at least five hundred tribulations."
The Arhat Bodhimanda technique was grand and noble, but without manifesting its full power, the tribulation energy from the Dragon Tiger Fruit Rank concentrated within its slender body, making the displayed strength all the more terrifying in contrast.
Upon hearing this, Meng Xiwen's expression darkened, and after a moment of silence, he bowed towards the Azure Mane Lion, "Thank you, senior."
In an instant—
"What...what did you say about a Demon Slayer...?"
With just those three words, "Demon Slayer," the Azure Mane Lion halted in its tracks.
"It nodded towards the sky just now; I saw it." Shen Yi replied calmly.
In the next moment, he grabbed the demon's neck, lifting its entire body off the ground.
Even Ye Lan had never seen him so stubborn before, but at this moment, the demon finally showed a hint of youthfulness, no longer resembling a scheming black-hearted cultivator.
"That's why the other two Southern Governor Generals are treating you like an outcast." Ye Lan replied.
After a moment, two figures with complex expressions descended from the sky.
"..."
The Azure Mane Lion snapped back to its senses, but something still felt amiss.
Shen Yi's expression remained unchanged, and only the Dragon Tiger Fruit Rank on the Lotus Platform within his body glowed with power.
"But I have no intention of bullying a cultivator who relies on alchemy for sustenance."
Shen Yi leaned forward slightly, his long fingers reaching towards the demon's neck.
The demon was acting on behalf of a Venerable Immortal; it couldn't return in the guise of a prisoner.
Shen Yi stood silently, releasing his grip and looking into the distance.
However, Shen Yi's expression remained unchanged, resembling a stubborn pig unmoved by boiling water.
"You're not from the Three Immortal Sect!"
"The demon tried to escape its restraints, lashed out violently, and injured someone. Demon Slayer Shen Yi, acting in self-defense, had no choice but to slay it."
"I saw you strike even after it nodded. You clearly didn't consider me at all."
The golden ring suddenly split, transforming back into dense royal aura and drifting towards the Divine Dynasty.
"Is this your new subordinate? Is it related to the injured Meng Xiwen and that young dragon demon?"
The ape demon spoke at length, but Shen Yi showed no reaction, not even a flicker of his handsome eyes or a blink.
The ape demon trembled all over, as if struck by lightning, its three eyes bulging almost out of their sockets. After a moment, its entire body went limp, devoid of any movement.
"Less than a year? A Demon Slayer Official?"
Inside the carriage, the ape demon's forehead veins popped, gripping Shen Yi's wrist tightly. But the golden light on her skin seemed like scorching lava, burning it to tears, yet it dared not let go.
At the same time, Shen Yi's palm pierced the ape demon's throat, and a thick golden light, accompanied by a dragon's roar and a tiger's growl, violently surged into its limbs and bones. "Crack! Crack!"
But at this moment, feeling only the chill at his fingertips, its whole heart was suspended in fear.
"You..."
Its leg strength was terrifying, and in a short time, it had already crossed seven or eight large prefectures.
Yan Lan Ting listened to her explanation for the young man, smiling ambiguously. Just then, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly furrowed his brows.
Shen Yi nodded and turned to climb into the carriage.
The ape demon had intended to intimidate the young man with its aura, never expecting his sudden outburst. In an instant, a vast force, like the vast ocean, surged into its body, sending it flying backward in complete disarray. Crack!
Inside the carriage, Shen Yi finally opened his eyes, his pitch-black pupils devoid of any emotion. He glanced casually out the window.
She was clearly still worried and decided to accompany Shen Yi for a while.
The ape demon's wails turned into beastly roars, clutching its thigh with its remaining left arm, its lower body trapped under the boot, only the upper half writhing in pain on the ground.
The two observers in the sky simultaneously changed their expressions.
This young girl had changed her temperament; in the past, even if she had such thoughts, she would never dare to speak so boldly.
Now, she needed to regain some face.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
Just then, behind Ye Lan's back, a slender figure silently appeared.
When the ape demon heard these words, even the three Southern Governor Generals would never allow it to return to the Jade Pool Immortal Sect alive.
The ape demon extended its finger again, pointing to the golden ring around its neck, "Take this thing off for me; it's embarrassing for everyone. Otherwise, when we reach the Jade Pool Immortal Sect, you'll be in deep trouble."
That day in the courtyard, the black-robed youth's direct gaze had clearly irritated it, especially after it came to its senses, feeling a surge of embarrassment.
By this time, the ape demon had raised the banner of the Divine Void Mountain.
"You—" The lion's cultivation was clearly stronger, yet it instinctively took a step back.
He smiled, a hint of loneliness in his eyes, as he stared at the carriage, "He's a capable Demon Slayer Official... but I just don't like him. So what?"
Roar!
The jade lion didn't respond, clearly in a foul mood. It casually lifted its paw and, with a tug, the carriage disappeared from its original spot. When it reappeared, it was far away from Jianyuan Prefecture.
He stared at the ape demon's face, waving his arm casually. Their palms met, and the green-sleeved figure exploded into dust, along with the demon's entire arm.
Until its death, it couldn't understand where the youth's confidence came from, and why the lion didn't stop him! Shen Yi casually collected the remains into his finger ring and then turned to face the Azure Mane Lion.
The youth's body was filled with an odd aura, and after remaining quiet for the entire journey, his sudden outburst and subsequent calm demeanor were unsettling, instilling a sense of fear.
The ape demon, despite being a demon, trembled under the force of that kick, its blood and energy churning.
The Demon Slayer Bureau was a clandestine organization, unknown to the Three Sects or the Heavenly Court.
The black-robed youth raised his boot with lightning speed, stamping it onto the green-robed figure.
The delicate carriage exploded into a shower of wooden splinters, and a green figure stumbled out, covered in debris. It crashed to the ground, rolling several times.
"..."
The ape demon instinctively retreated, like a frightened animal, "No need, no need to take it off, it's fine as it is..."
Outside the city, a graceful figure emerged, stepping on a cloud. She followed the carriage from a distance.
"Yan Lan pays respects to Yan Lan Ting." Ye Lan recognized the visitor and, lowering her guard, bowed respectfully. "This person is called Shen Yi, the newly appointed Demon Slayer Official of Jianyuan Prefecture, with less than a year of service in our bureau."
The green-robed ape demon stared at the closed-eyed youth with boredom, as if irritated by his relaxed demeanor. It pulled at the corners of its mouth, baring its fangs.
The Azure Mane Lion, though a mount, was the Southern Governor General's steed.
Seeing this, the green-robed ape demon's smile slowly froze.
Under the suppression of the golden ring, it was no match for this person.
This place is not within the Divine Dynasty, nor is it within the realm of the Immortal Sect.
The golden circle is a transformation of the Imperial Blessing, but at this moment... it has gradually drifted away from the Divine Dynasty.
The voice drifted through the air, and the Azure Mane Lion slowly halted his steps. His already displeased mood now reached its peak.
Shen Yi also lifted her long boots and stomped down indifferently, crushing the ape demon's knee with her boot, effortlessly reducing it to a bloody mess.
"I'll help you get rid of it and send you home."
Yan Lan Ting's gaze was cold as he stared at the young man, "You knew I was here? How did you find out?"
The green-robed figure's aura surged, and he placed a hand on Shen Yi's carriage behind her, looking down at the young man with a condescending attitude. His hoarse voice was filled with rage, "I'm talking to you, are you deaf?"
This place is an excellent burial ground for the dead.
"However, if my friend is injured by a demon, even if it's an order from above, I won't be able to kill this demon due to my insufficient strength. But I will never personally send it back." The old man raised his eyebrows.
"If you have any questions, discuss them with this Jade Lion senior. He is experienced and has superior strength."

Home, which home is she returning to? "Don't be impulsive..." The Jade Lion took a big step forward, but before he could move, he heard the young woman's cold voice in his ear.
Although she spoke these words, the killing intent emanating from her body did not seem fake, and it was so chilling that even the lion felt a sense of dread.
If it could suppress the lion's cultivation earlier, it could now suppress it by about 60%. The remaining 40% was not enough to deal with the Jade Lion outside, but it was more than enough to teach a Celestial Immortal a lesson.
"Ah!!"
"What do you think you're doing?!"
If it weren't for the fact that the identity of the Demon Slayer Bureau couldn't be exposed, the Jade Lion and the ape demon were both Fifth Stage Taiyi Immortals. The lion's status and position were actually higher than that of the ape demon.
A hint of malice flashed in its eyes.
"That's not necessarily true."
Yan Lan Ting waved his hand and looked down at the carriage below. As his gaze fell upon the Azure Mane Lion, the lion seemed to sense something and nodded slightly, appearing rather obedient.
"I advise you, if you don't have the status, don't try to force it."
Ye Lan bit her lip and listened to General Yan's sarcastic words, her heart skipped a beat, and she became tense.
The two figures sat facing each other.
But before the lion could speak.
"Hey!" Yan Lan Ting widened his eyes, then laughed, "You can't say that."
Yan Lan Ting smiled wryly and glanced at the young woman, "I've seen it, you do care about this person. Even the Divine Void Mountain's Pill Peak was willing to entrust it to you. But with your level of care, you can't nurture a truly capable warrior."
"She's so proud that even if the court asks her for help, they probably won't be able to save face and bow to the Jade Pool Immortal Sect. You, a mere Celestial Immortal, are probably just a pawn for her to use."
"Who are you waiting for?"
"The matter of the Demon Slayer Bureau is because of Meng Xiwen..."
The golden circle on its neck trembled violently, but its slender arm still stirred up surging spiritual energy. Amidst the deafening sound like a huge bell, it seemed as if the entire sky was falling towards the ground.
Shen Yi quietly observed the twisted and ugly ape face just inches away from her.
"I understand."
The ape demon let out a sharp, mournful cry and instinctively kicked towards the young woman.
It wasn't until the old man's hoarse voice sounded beside her that she suddenly realized and turned to look back.
Shen Yi emerged from the wreckage of the carriage, walking towards the ape demon with a calm and unhurried pace. Her black robe swayed slightly, and her seemingly relaxed steps brought her to the ape demon's front before the lion could finish speaking.
The ape demon gasped, its eyes widening with shock and disbelief as it looked at the ground.
After the ape demon spoke, it lifted its robe and sat on the carriage.
"But what you said does make sense. Perhaps I'm not really suitable to stay in the Demon Slayer Bureau."
At this moment, it stared directly at Shen Yi, finally noticing the faint golden glow on her skin. With every movement, faint dragon and tiger roars reverberated.
However, in its current state, how could it escape that palm?
"Don't worry, if I really wanted to do something, no matter how careful you are, you wouldn't be able to stop me."
Facing such a mighty presence.
"I'll go back with you obediently, don't hurt me again!"
"Okay, okay."
Yan Lan Ting's lips twitched, and he sized up the handsome young man. The seriousness on his face faded.
"Where is it good?" Shen Yi looked at him without arrogance or timidity.
Upon hearing this, Yan Lan Ting finally laughed and lightly patted his palm, "Of course, it's good to kill!"
