Chapter 368: Acquaintances Seen Again

With the help of the Golden Pattern Dharma Robe, Shen Yi knew the positions of all living creatures around him as clearly as if they were marked on a map.

Aside from the small demons who had come out of curiosity to watch, Lei Ti, the Demon Emperor, had long been completely exposed, his figure stealthily hidden in the sky.

What was more puzzling was that none of the Demon Emperors from the first ten caves had arrived.

Could they not move easily?

Shen Yi had a vague guess in his heart, yet he did not lower his guard.

The chicken demon's earlier action of quietly looking up at the sky could not possibly have been to look at Lei Ti; perhaps that group of great demons possessed other means of surveillance.

This was somewhat a pity.

Originally, he had planned to use this opportunity to slaughter both of these demons.

Shen Yi did not know what Lei Ti had prepared for him, but a moment's thought made it clear: looking across the entire Nanyang Sect, the only ones capable of threatening the Demon Emperor of the ten-plus caves were Mount Wutong and the Profound Light Cave.

However, with the assistance of the two zebra demon brothers, Lei Ti could still be so confident.

Then the Profound Light Cave could be ruled out.

Today, it was highly probable that he would see a few acquaintances.

Shen Yi had come to the Thousand Demon Caves to seek treasure, not truly to kill human cultivators on behalf of this group of demons.

As long as the disciples from Mount Wutong brought a bit of sense.

Upon seeing the Dark Tail Spear in his hand, they should be able to react.

Either they would guess his connection to the Great Qian, or even Shen Yi, who possessed a Golden Body of ten zhang, could not protect his spear.

Whichever guess it was, it would be enough to make this group voluntarily leave.

Thus, Shen Yi sat so boldly on the mountain peak.

Of course... if Nie Jun or a similar expert came, it would be understandable if he could not hold them off; with the Dharma Robe on his body, his life should be safe. To avoid any accidents, he had specifically summoned Lady Qinghua over.

Guarding the cave dwelling was a dull and boring task.

But this time, numerous demons were watching this place from extremely far away, staring eagerly and unwilling to leave for a long time.

After experiencing several incidents, the Golden-Eyed Lion Emperor had undoubtedly become the most prominent demon in the Thousand Demon Caves.

All the great demons were curious about just how terrifying the progress this Lion Emperor had made.

Was it truly as rumored, that he had made the Dark Tail Demon Emperor leave the Thousand Demon Caves in disgrace?

Just amidst such waiting.

Three auras quietly approached this place.

"Zhu Shixiong, I feel something is wrong."

True Person Master Qingfeng looked around; for the first time after infiltrating the Thousand Demon Caves, he felt such a massive number of gazes spying on him.

It was as if demons were lurking everywhere around.

Making one's heart inexplicably feel a chill.

"Has your formation failed?" Yu Chaoan also looked with suspicion.

"..."

Tong Xinquan glanced at the two foolish junior brothers who had insisted on following.

He helplessly withdrew his gaze.

He suddenly soared into the air and waved his hand to dispel the concealment formation.

Was this even something that needed asking? Wasn't the fact right there before their eyes?

Tong Xinquan held a jade slip, looking strangely at the front; there, on the towering mountain peak, the golden-eyed fierce beast with slightly swaying mane sat like a monarch, its oppressive gaze sweeping over them.

It was obvious that it had discovered their existence long ago.

But the other party had not made a move; his calm and unhurried manner seemed as if everything was under control.

"Is this truly the Demon Emperor of the fortieth cave?"

Tong Xinquan's eyebrows twitched.

Yu Chaoan and Master Qingfeng also reacted, dispelling the concealment formation as well.

"I told you, it is different..."

Yu Chaoan soared into the air, his expression becoming increasingly solemn.

He had not expected that the existence they had just been chatting about would appear before them so coincidentally.

That towering figure, combined with its disdainful demeanor, actually made people subconsciously ignore the two even more famous Demon Emperors behind it.

"Is this a trap?"

Master Qingfeng, standing on auspicious clouds, showed a look of suspicion.

If it were truly to lure and kill Zhu Shixiong Tong, why make it so obvious, as if afraid others wouldn't know it was here?

Tong Xinquan remained silent for a long time, then said faintly, "This is a provocation."

A newly risen Demon Emperor wanting to use us as stepping stones for his rise.

Just then, he suddenly felt the breathing of the two junior brothers behind him halt simultaneously.

Tong Xinquan looked back with a puzzled expression.

He saw the two of them staring intently at a certain spot.

He turned his head again, his gaze falling upon the dark long spear in the lion's palm.

"This is that boy's Dark Tail Spear!" Master Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but cry out in shock, "Did something happen to him?"

Yu Chaoan and Tong Xinquan fell silent, frowning almost simultaneously.

They also recalled the youth they had seen in the Thousand Demon Caves last time; at that time, the other party had, with an incredibly calm demeanor, thrust that long spear into the head of the Red Heart Snake Emperor.

"His grandmother's second great-uncle! These wicked beasts!"

Master Qingfeng's face showed a bit more anger; he couldn't help but roll up his sleeves. Although that boy had been quite rude to him last time, in reality, he had quite high hopes for Shen Yi.

A newly risen prodigy cultivator had thus fallen into the hands of the Thousand Demon Cavern.

"..."

Tong Xinchuan took a deep breath.

If he had previously thought Yu Chaoan, that Bai Chi, was exaggerating, now his heart was far more cautious.

That young man had fought three mid-Soul Transformation existences alone, slaughtering all three with a force that crushed withered wood.

Add to that the six-zhang Golden Body that had not yet moved.

The two working together should not be inferior to a late-Soul Transformation cultivator; at the very least... the Shadow-Tailed Demon Emperor, lacking a tail bone, certainly could not take his life.

Yet now he had fallen into the other's hands.

Looking at it this way, this Golden-Eyed Lion probably did not need Yu Chaoan's help to capture the Shadow-Tailed one.

"Even demons know to kill our human prodigies in advance."

Yu Chaoan's lips curled in self-mockery, then killing intent fully revealed in his eyes: "Perfect. It must be a highly potential existence within the Thousand Demon Cavern; one life for one life."

Tong Xinchuan glanced at the jade slip in his hand, his gaze growing ever sharper.

The next moment, three figures simultaneously and without prior agreement leaped forth!

The instant the Mount Wutong cultivators revealed themselves.

Many cautious demons among the crowds surrounding from afar left without hesitation.

Tong Xinchuan, Yu Chaoan, Li Master Qingfeng.

Any one of them was a cultivator who had established a fearsome reputation within the Thousand Demon Cavern, almost equivalent to the peak realm of human cultivators.

Watching the spectacle before them would likely cost one's life.

Even Jin Chi, the Nine-Striped Tiger behind the bronze mirror, slowly propped herself up; she was very curious what the Spider Emperor had produced to draw these precious talents of Mount Wutong to mobilize together.

Only Demon Emperor Lei Ti wore a smile of triumph.

He could almost see the comical figure of the Lion fleeing in disgrace.

Whether he could even escape remained to be seen.

"Lion Emperor..."

The Musk Deer Demon swallowed hard and instinctively took two steps backward.

Immediately, a companion grabbed him by the arm.

The Chicken Demon looked up at the sky once more, then released his grip, speaking softly: "Lion Emperor, now you must provide an explanation."

Before the three figures approaching with fierce momentum.

Shen Yi finally rose to his feet, casually grasping the cold shaft of the spear.

The next moment, he stepped forward calmly and slowly, saying indifferently: "You only need to capture him."

The Chicken Demon followed his gaze, landing on Master Qingfeng.

Doubt then surged in his eyes.

He, a Demon Emperor of the Eighteen Caverns, only needed to deal with a mid-Soul Transformation cultivator?

"What about the other two?" the Chicken Demon glanced sideways.

But he saw the burly Lion Demon draw the Shadow-Tail Spear, dense killing intent filling his golden eyes: "They belong to this Emperor."

As the words fell, both demons froze in astonishment.

The Musk Deer Demon looked over in even greater shock: "Then, then what about me?"

But he saw the Lion's lips curl in mockery, then he vanished directly from the spot.
