Chapter 304: Reforging the White Feather Demon Emperor

"Daoist Shen, we cannot stay here long, what do you think?"

Tang Yuan looked around warily, his words carrying a hint of suggestion.

He truly regarded this youth as an existence of the same realm.

After all, from their previous duel, it was clear that the Golden Body dharma image that suddenly appeared was not merely protecting Shen Yi.

The two cooperated flawlessly.

Clearly old friends who had fought side by side for years, rather than a relationship between elder and junior.

"Is the cave dwelling you found inaccessible?" Shen Yi glanced sideways.

"Originally there was a gap, but it seems the Xu family member just now repaired it."

Tang Yuan gritted his teeth, then sighed helplessly: "I don't know how many formation masters the Thousand Demon Cave captured. If there is only this one, it is fine; if there are others, then it will be disastrous."

This is the territory of the Thousand Demon Cave; for those normally opened cave dwellings, their grasp of information is absolutely more comprehensive than that of human cultivators.

If they use the hands of formation masters to repair all the other gaps as well.

Then the Immortal Gate and Great Qian will only be able to contend directly with demons and monsters, with pressure increasing several-fold.

"..."

Several Great Qian Grand Masters exchanged glances, each seeing despair in the other's eyes.

The next moment, Tang Yuan spoke with slight apology: "In my current state, I am powerless to take you to seek the Age Fruit, but I will report the encounters of this journey truthfully to my Master and try to secure a bit more time for Great Qian."

"Thank you, Senior Tang, for your understanding."

Although they bowed respectfully, the faces of the several Grand Masters did not improve.

The number of Age Fruits needed is fixed.

It will not change due to any circumstance.

Only the few of us remain to work for Great Qian; even if we delay for some time, it holds no meaning.

Instead, because the Thousand Demon Cave has lost another Demon Emperor.

The next time we enter, it will likely be countless times more perilous than today.

"I know your difficulties, but today there is truly no way; even if I were in my full strength, there are no cave dwellings to explore. It is not as if I should take you to the old caves of those Demon Emperors..."

Tang Yuan patiently offered a word of persuasion.

Then he waved his hand: "Let's go."

Just then, Shen Yi suddenly spoke: "Demon Emperor cave dwellings?"

"Daoist Shen should not know this."

Tang Yuan stopped and explained: "The Age Tree exists only within cave dwellings, but there are a few cave dwellings whose formations have completely collapsed, exposing them to the world; however, these cave dwellings are occupied by the most formidable group of demons and monsters."

"Even the one ranked lowest among them, the place where it resides, is the Twentieth Cave."

"My Master, True Person Qingfeng, has cultivation that transcends the ordinary; he is only half a step away from stepping into the late stage of Soul Transformation, but even if he personally acted, he could not claim a sure victory."

Hearing this, Shen Yi recalled the young cultivator with a youthful face he had seen at the Eight Directions Dining Pavilion.

Upon first meeting, the momentum radiating from the other party made one feel vast and mighty.

So the realm is this high.

"Understood."

Shen Yi nodded: "I trouble True Person with one matter."

"Speak directly, I will certainly do my best." Tang Yuan was slightly stunned and hurriedly replied.

Yet in his heart he still had some speculation: Could this Daoist Shen be wanting to invite me to explore a Demon Emperor cave dwelling together?

If the other party truly opened their mouth on this, given Tang Yuan's character, plus the debt of saving his life, he would not be able to utter words of refusal, it would just feel somewhat headache-inducing.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yi just glanced casually to the side: "Trouble you to take her out for me."

"Ah?"

Xu Wanyun saw Shen Yi looking at her and immediately felt at a loss: "What does this mean?"

Could it be he is unwilling to leave?

"What kind of big deal is this." Tang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded in agreement, then still whispered a reminder: "It is not that I am frightening you, Daoist, but the situation in the Thousand Demon Cave has changed; it is better to leave as soon as possible."

Having said this, he clasped his hands in farewell, revealed his aura, and soared into the air.

Xu Wanyun saw that the two had directly made a decision for her; she opened her mouth wanting to argue something again, but then sadly lowered her head.

Perhaps Shen Yi was too gentle, causing her to forget just how formidable his methods truly were.

To speak harshly, if he truly wanted to harm A-Qing, even if she risked her life she could not stop anything, let alone the other party had used the life of a Demon Emperor to prove he had the strength to protect A-Qing.

The scene just now had already completely stunned her.

"I will wait for you outside."

Xu Wanyun looked at her niece: "Be careful."

Speaking thus, she handed over the storage bag at her waist.

"Mm! Aunt, rest assured."

A-Qing reached out to take it, then walked behind Shen Yi.

She seemed to still be thinking about that old man just now, so her emotions were somewhat off.

"You all return as well."

Shen Yi looked at those several Great Qian Grand Masters.

"Uh."

Hou Wanhai was stunned for a moment, feeling the other party's tone sounded somewhat off.

It was not like an elder speaking to ordinary cultivators; there was no arrogant attitude, yet it carried an undeniable flavor.

"We obey your command."

They dared not speak further, simply solemnly manifested their Dao Infants and followed Tang Yuan as they sped outward.

Once only two remained in the original spot.

Shen Yi lifted A Qing, vanished from the spot, and simultaneously manifested the formation disk again to completely conceal their auras.

"Brother Shen, where are we going?" A Qing temporarily rallied her spirits.

"Stay here for a while."

After Shen Yi confirmed they had traveled a sufficient distance, he set A Qing down in the dense forest.

He then stood atop a massive tree, gazing into the distance.

It appeared he was observing the surroundings, but in truth, he had already opened the panel.

Within the Thousand Demon Cave, he had a guide.

Lady Qinghua's knowledge was shallow, but the Bai Yu Yao Huang and the Golden-Eyed Lion Emperor should know some news.

Previously, he was hindered by the demons' insufficient lifespans, fearing he would miss the opportunity to improve.

Now, his resources were much more abundant.

He directly consumed ten thousand years of demon lifespan to exchange for one Origin.

【Remaining Demon Lifespan: Twenty-Five Thousand Six Hundred Years】

Shen Yi pondered for a moment and chose to first reshape the Bai Yu Yao Huang's divine soul; after all, the other had once said the Blood Transformation Demon Emperor was its elder brother, so it might know more than the Golden-Eyed Lion Emperor.

As the demon Origin was cast into it.

Time passed rapidly, and a drifting white crane phantom slowly took shape.

【Endured the Ten-Thousand-Year Calamity, Dissolved the Grudge in the Heart, Realized the Supreme Grace of Its Master, Only Then Could the Past Life Soul Be Reshaped】

【Demon Emperor (Fragmented): Bai Yu Tianhe】

Compared to Lady Qinghua, Bai Yu's demon soul not only showed signs of scattering but also appeared slightly dazed in expression.

Shen Yi was puzzled for an instant, then understood the reason behind it.

Ten thousand years of demon lifespan seemed very long, but that was for humans; just like the Bai Yu Yao Huang, who had already lived nearly forty thousand years, a single demon Origin was too little for it.

But it didn't matter; it was just being summoned to ask for directions.

He could make up for it later when using it to improve his Golden Body.
