Chapter 1286: Once Again Probing

He got a few Demon Race Food Material, and Yun Xiantai was in a good mood.

However, the many Human Race cultivators tasked with guarding the Demon Cave are now all nearing their limits.

Mainly because it's been a long time since they last ate Ye Zhangqing's meals.

Just then, as soon as Yun Xiantai returned here, Hong Zun, Wu Shou and a few others came looking for him.

Those few had been stationed outside the Demon Cave; upon seeing Yun Xiantai, they immediately spoke up.

Shīzūn, why not let Young Zhangqing come over for a visit? It's been so long.

Yeah, we guard the Demon Cave; hardship is fine, but now we can't even get a hot meal, while they in the holy land eat well and drink spicy every day.

Exactly, and right now there's no danger around the Demon Cave; let Young Zhangqing come and treat the brothers.

Everyone chattered in agreement; hearing this, Yun Xiantai also nodded.

The reason we don't let Ye Zhangqing come over is because we worry about his safety, after all, the Demon Cave is the front line against the Demon Race.

Although Ye Zhangqing's combat ability is not bad, he is at the Great Saint Realm level.

Even when facing a Demon Race Heavenly Pride before, he fought back and forth, not losing ground at all; his self-defense capability is fine.

But Yun Xiantai and the others dare not gamble; if something goes wrong, they'd probably regret it to the point of their intestines turning green.

But after such a long time without eating Ye Zhangqing's cooking, even Yun Xiantai himself is craving it terribly.

At this moment, hearing the proposal from Hong Zun, Wu Shou and the others, Yun Xiantai pondered for a moment, then nodded and said.

Alright, I'll contact him, but it also depends on Young Zhangqing's own willingness.

If Ye Zhangqing is willing to come, there's no problem; but if he isn't, there's nothing we can do, and we can't force him.

In response, Hong Zun, Wu Shou and the others had no objections, nodding in agreement.

In front of everyone, Yun Xiantai contacted Ye Zhangqing, asking if he could come to the Demon Cave for a visit, as everyone was craving food.

I have no problem on my end, but the Shèngzhǔ there..............

He dares to have any opinion? I'll beat him.

Hearing this, Yun Xiantai said indifferently.

If Ye Zhangqing comes to the Demon Cave, the holy land side will have no food to eat; Qi Xiong will surely be unhappy.

But will Yun Xiantai care about that? I, too, am not getting any food, damn it.

Ye Zhangqing has no problem here, so it's fine.

Let him hurry to the Demon Cave; Ye Zhangqing nodded in agreement.

Seeing Ye Zhangqing nod, Hong Zun, Wu Shou and the others were delighted; just having him come is great—finally we can taste something fresh.

Inside the Dao Yi Shengdi, upon hearing that Ye Zhangqing would go to the Demon Cave, the Three Hundred Flowers Fairy Maidens were somewhat worried and said.

Is it okay? Is the Demon Cave side safe?

It's fine; lately the Demon Race side has had no movement, and the previous Demon Race scouts were all captured.

Ye Zhangqing replied, not thinking much of it; the Demon Cave has indeed been very peaceful lately, with no disturbances at all.

Hearing Ye Zhangqing say that, the three maidens then nodded in agreement, though they also wanted to accompany him.

When Ye Zhangqing was about to leave the sect for the Demon Cave, the news just spread; the disciples and Elders remaining in the holy land all wailed in lament.

Originally they could eat every day, but now that Ye Zhangqing has gone, they can't get any food—what are we to do?

But even Qi Xiong can't do anything, after all, this is Yun Xiantai's order.

Even Qi Xiong can't do anything, after all, it's not good to go against his own Shīzūn.

The next day, Qi Xiong personally saw Ye Zhangqing off.

At the moment of parting, Qi Xiong said with a reluctant expression.

Young Zhangqing, you'd better come back quickly; the Demon Cave side is unsafe.

The Demon Race hasn't had any movement lately.

Better safe than sorry.

Qi Xiong kept saying the Demon Cave is dangerous, urging Ye Zhangqing to return quickly; watching Ye Zhangqing's back, Qi Xiong lingered for a long time before leaving.

With Ye Zhangqing gone, we'll go several more days without food.

Just as Ye Zhangqing was heading to the Demon Cave, the Demon Race side saw the two great demon emperors summon a batch of Demon Race powerhouses, planning to invade the Haotu Shijie.

But this time, the Demon Race's goal is no longer to destroy the Haotu Shijie; it's more about probing.

They are probing whether the Haotu Shijie still hides any Emperor Sovereign Realm powerhouses.

If not, they will wipe out the Haotu Shijie in one fell swoop.

Set out.

They informed their subordinate Demon God Kings of the purpose of this battle, telling them they need not fight the Haotu Shijie to the death; this battle seeks no gain.

As long as they can probe the depths of the Haotu Shijie, that's enough.

Moreover, even one battle might hardly reveal the truth; afterwards they may need continual probing.

Before departure, one of the demon emperors looked at De Li and said.

You don't need to go for this battle.

I want to go.

De Li is this demon emperor's offspring; originally he wasn't needed for this battle, but De Li insisted on coming along.

Seeing this, the demon emperor nodded and instructed.

Go then, just be careful.

I know.

The reason De Li insists on going to the Haotu Shijie is because of Ye Zhangqing, the top prodigy of the Haotu Shijie.

Since their previous battle, De Li has remembered this opponent.

A closed world, to have such a Top Prodigy is truly rare; for De Li, being able to fight them is practically a pleasure.

The demon race's army mobilized on their side, and in the Haotu Shijie world, Ye Zhangqing barely managed to reach the Demon Cave.

They saw Yun Xiantai, Wu Shou and the others.

Hong Zun went up and gave Ye Zhangqing a hug right away, speaking excitedly.

"Little Qing, I've missed you so much; you've finally come."

At this moment, in Hong Zun's eyes, Ye Zhangqing was nothing less than a living bodhisattva.

Looking left and right, their saliva was almost drying up; finally they had Ye Zhangqing arrive.

Heaven knows how many nights Hong Zun practiced Xiūliàn while drooling; many times he would be cultivating and his saliva would unknowingly flow out.

If it weren't for his duty to guard the Demon Cave, he would have long gone to the martyr's holy land.

Today he could finally eat that long‑craved meal, and no matter what he would eat two big bowls.

Not only Hong Zun, but the powerful ones around the five Demon Caves also heard the news that Ye Zhangqing had arrived.

Each one was extremely excited, finally able to have a meal.

After hard‑pressed guarding the Demon Cave for so long, the long‑craved food finally arrived.

This was the best reward for them.

Everyone began to anticipate the arrival of Fàn diǎn, and they heard that today each person could eat two bowls of rice.

Indeed, that was the case; Ye Zhangqing also nodded, and each person could eat two bowls of rice.

After all, they hadn't eaten in such a long time; giving everyone enough to eat at once also counts as rewarding the many powerhouses who had been guarding the Demon Cave day after day.

As for defeating the Great Emperor Ancestor, it seems there's also a special side dish.

This made the many Great Emperor Ancestors extremely excited; 'a special side dish!' they exclaimed, for they had never had the chance to eat such a thing before.
