Chapter 363: What Is Happening?

"I am increasingly impressed by A Qing's judgment."

The old woman smiled, shook her head, and likewise left the Wang Fu.

An old friend met in humble times can still be kept in one's heart; as long as the Xu family follows the other wholeheartedly, why worry about being betrayed or abandoned?

A host of Golden Bodies vanished into the horizon, transforming into more than ten Jin Zhu that darted back into the main hall of the Wumiao.

Numerous Yin Spirits stood entirely within the main hall.

Surrounding that young man in black robes.

The Wumiao's Shenxu Laozu returned to the offering platform, happily picking at his toes: "Happy! Amazing!"

Master Zhu Jue helplessly rubbed the center of his brow.

With the Shenxu Laozu in such a foolish state now, it actually spared them many troubles.

Who now leads the Wumiao was self-evident.

They floated in neat rows, awaiting the decree.

Shen Yi held a golden register, quickly copying something; after a long while, he handed the object in his hand to Wu Dao'an: "Senior Brother Wu, I suggest removing the four courtyards of the Wumiao and establishing cultivation grounds across the Nine Provinces."

He now needed more incense and vows.

Build arrays, establish a sect.

Reduce the presence of noble families and sects as much as possible, gathering all incense to the Wumiao.

"What is this?"

Wu Dao'an flipped through two pages; although he didn't quite understand, he managed to recognize it and instinctively cried out: "A complete Soul Transformation technique?"

Li Huo Fen Xin Palm, a precious technique comparable to the True Lei Jianfa of the Divine Firmament.

With this technique alone, a faction could rise rapidly, even potentially reaching a level to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Great Qian.

Of course, this technique can only be practiced by those with a single Fire Spirit Root; it is far from enough to support Great Qian's cultivation path.

Shen Yi was not in a hurry.

The Thousand Demon Cave lacked nothing, and once the precious herbs for refining Soul Transformation Pills were gathered and he had used enough, the remainder could be given to Great Qian to digest.

Only if the Nine Provinces grew stronger could he have enough incense and vows to bring the Prison-Suppressing Dharma Image to true perfection.

"I entrust the matter of establishing the arrays to all of you."

Shen Yi walked out of the Wumiao's main hall and looked toward the Xu family crowd.

"We will certainly do our utmost."

The old woman spoke on behalf of everyone, clasping her hands in agreement.

"Brother Shen..." A Qing, who had not disturbed Shen Yi from the time at the Wumiao until now, finally broke away from the crowd with a small run once everything was settled.

Grabbing the cuff of Shen Yi's sleeve, she walked toward the back of the Wumiao's main hall amidst the curious gazes of the crowd.

She stole a glance outside.

Then she pulled a thick book from her storage treasure and quickly stuffed it into Shen Yi's arms: "You cannot take me with you now; be extra careful outside."

"You learned that sword technique so quickly; you can surely learn this one too!"

She waved her small fist.

"..."

Shen Yi was stunned; even the Mount Wutong disciples hadn't recognized the True Lei Jianfa of the Divine Firmament, yet this little girl had.

He casually flipped through it once and handed the thick book back.

"Thank you."

"Oh! Just keep it." A Qing reluctantly clutched the thick book, then poked her head out again; seeing that her family members' faces were already filled with confusion, she made a face at Shen Yi and ran back.

"If you don't want it, fine; you'll have to take me with you later anyway."

"..."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly.

Having just recruited the Xu family, to now move against their foundations was something that could be done, but there was no need to let them discover it.

On the panel in his eyes, a new prompt leaped up.

【Complete Xu Family Array Record: Not Entered】

The matters to be explained were mostly explained; as for the Profound Light Cave... relying on his Dharma Robe, he should not fear two late-stage Soul Transformation cultivators, but he did not know if they had found any precious treasures to guard the place within the Thousand Demon Cave.

To go to their door rashly... setting aside the excessive risk, he apparently did not even know where those two were.

With Lady Qinghua remaining outside Great Qian, nothing major should go wrong; at the very least, she could delay them until he returned.

At this moment, the demons' lifespans were exhausted; it was better to return to the Thousand Demon Cave first.

Thinking thus, Shen Yi soared straight into the sky and vanished from the horizon.

"He's already gone?"

Several elders of the Xu family stared in surprise at the direction he had left.

But they saw Wu Dao'an, who was already accustomed to it: "Rest assured; once enough incense and vows are stored, Yan Shidi Shen will naturally return."

The numerous Yin Spirits looked at the old ghost Wu's back, feeling deeply moved.

Who could have imagined that not long ago they were complaining about him, thinking Shen Yi was too indulgent and doting, only to find that in the blink of an eye, Great Qian had gone from showing signs of rising to becoming a force capable of directly confronting the Profound Light Cave.

"Judging by Wu Laogui's attitude back then, there should be a place for him on this offering platform."

"..."

Wu Dao'an glanced at the Shenxu Laozu still picking his toes and suddenly felt the offering platform held little interest.

He opened the technique in his hand and marveled at it.

The numerous Yin Spirits rushed forward: "Let me see!"

"What's the squeezing for? Can you even understand it? Didn't you disdain these as crude martial arts?"

Wu Dao'an snorted coldly, yet his heart was throbbing with excitement and thrill.

Such a precious technique, and Senior Brother Shen handed it to me so casually—what immense trust! Why didn't he give it to Master Zhu Jue? Look at the face I have!

Ten-plus days later, Thousand Demon Cave.

The commotion here had been too great recently, far more perilous than before, causing the number of cultivators daring to tread here to plummet.

Unknown time passed, and suddenly a furious figure in dark armor appeared at the archway.

It made no attempt to conceal its aura.

Overwhelming demonic power swept out, carrying boundless ferocity and evil.

"Die for this Emperor!"

On Lei Ti Demon Emperor's territory, a grim, killing intent suddenly rose.

The dark-armored figure surged out in a rage; before every cave dwelling, it dove without hesitation, its powerful physique causing the earth to quake and mountains to shake.

The demon kings, who were sleeping, had no chance to react before their heads were stomped into pieces!

One cave... three caves...

Until the eighth cave dwelling was destroyed with crushing ease.

From the Mingful Lei Chi, a purple streak of light finally leaped out: "You Youwei! You damn fool, you're asking for death!"

"Sss!"

The dark-armored man's face twisted into a grimace as he stared fixedly at Lei Ti Demon Emperor: "This Emperor is asking for death? You have pushed us too far! Wait for this Emperor; this matter is not over!"

The standoff between two demon emperors from the first twenty caves obviously alarmed more than half of Thousand Demon Cave.

Countless demons and monsters gathered here cautiously.

Among them were even great demon emperors of the same realm.

"This Emperor does not know what madness you are having, but if you do not give an explanation today, do not blame this Emperor for turning hostile."

Lei Ti Demon Emperor stepped on purple thunder, his voice cold as an ice cavern.

The other party had intruded on his territory without cause; if he did not show himself now, where would he put his face in the future?

"An explanation?"

Youwei Demon Emperor let out a shrill scream, his eyes thick with venomous hatred.

It suddenly surged toward the outside of Thousand Demon Cave.

Along the way, it slaughtered two approaching demon kings: "Get lost!"

The dark light instantly streaked across the long sky, vanishing without a trace.

"..."

Lei Ti Demon Emperor was left staring blankly in place.

A chest full of rage had nowhere to vent.

He would have liked to do the same to Youwei Demon Emperor, but that stupid dragon was a loner, with not even a demon or monster he could speak to in ordinary times.

And then this old dragon just fled like that?

"No, this Emperor did not provoke him!"

Lei Ti Demon Emperor looked around; he sensed an extremely dangerous aura approaching.

To have disturbed a demon emperor from the first ten caves for no reason at all, where could he go to reason?

Fortunately, the other party had not yet shown themselves, meaning it was merely curiosity.

The problem was... Lei Ti Demon Emperor realized he knew nothing either: "I!"

Just then, among the multitude of demons and monsters.

A figure eight zhang tall walked slowly forward; beneath its mane, a lion's face was indifferent, holding a straight dark spear.

Its gaze swept over the crowd, and it said lightly: "What is going on?"

The demons and monsters all held their breath, looked at the Youwei Spear in Golden-Eyed Lion Emperor's hands, then turned together to look at Lei Ti Demon Emperor: "Hmm?"
