Chapter 387: The Eighth Cave Needs a New Emperor

At the foot of Mount Wutong, where the secluded path begins.

Jiang Qiulan walked slowly out of the mountain, happened to lift her gaze, and her expression immediately tightened slightly.

Before her stood a woman covered in filth with disheveled hair; her left shoulder and entire arm had been torn off, looking utterly wretched.

"Senior Lingxi, Master is awake."

Jiang Qiulan shifted slightly, making way for the other.

"Mm."

True Person Lingxi glanced at Jiang Qiulan but, contrary to her usual manner, did not step onto the secluded path; she merely nodded, passed the other, and followed the mountain road toward her own wooden hut.

Throughout the entire process, her expression showed a certain dullness.

Until she passed by someone.

She immediately froze.

Turning back, she saw Li Qingfeng blinking his eyes and looking at her.

"..."

True Person Lingxi's heart suddenly gave a throb.

Extending her single arm, she gently rubbed the other's head under Li Qingfeng's stunned gaze.

She swallowed, slightly quickened her pace, and continued walking up the mountain.

Passing Tong Xinchuan's wooden hut, then Miao Qinghui, and sensing the focused aura of cultivation within, she finally returned to the front of her own house.

But there stood a figure in a green robe at the doorway.

Nie Jun stood with hands behind his back, his side profile staring at Lingxi's wretched body, his voice calm yet slightly cold: "What happened?"

In the past, Lingxi would surely have mocked him a few times, truly treating him like the eldest senior brother.

However, at this moment, she wordlessly pushed past Nie Jun, entered the house, and then slammed the door shut with a bang.

"..."

Nie Jun frowned, staring at the wooden door.

He had never seen this arrogant fool display such a despondent posture.

What exactly did this group hide from me and go do?

He slightly clenched his fist.

Looking coldly down at his feet, those eyes seemed able to pierce through the mountain body, pointing directly at the Water Curtain Immortal Cave below.

Possessing cultivation but like a bird in a cage.

After pondering for a long time, he turned and left the place.

Hearing the footsteps outside grow fainter and fade away, Lingxi lay on the soft bed, holding a jade pillow with one hand, her body trembling slightly.

Tears and snot once again overflowed uncontrollably.

Everything seen just now felt like a lifetime ago; as long as everyone is fine, as long as everyone is fine...

She no longer wanted to ask for the reason.

Fearing she might puncture this dream.

She decided simply to sleep quietly, and after waking, completely forget what happened inside the Thousand Demon Cave.

What Golden-Eyed Lion Emperor, what Xuanming Spider Emperor.

She would simply stop caring about them all.

Lingxi closed her eyes, her brow furrowing slightly, and after a long while, opened them blankly again.

The ferocious face of the Golden-Eyed Lion Emperor appeared before her eyes.

It quickly flickered, transforming into a handsome young face beneath messy black hair.

The two overlapped.

Finally becoming that domineering figure blocking the Xuanming Spider Emperor, and the sky-filling, glaring crimson ink stains.

She released the jade pillow and suddenly bit down on the tiger-mouth of her palm.

Under that pain, fear surged in True Person Lingxi's eyes; she was truly mad, actually still thinking of a demon!

If Master or Nie Jun found out, wouldn't they slice her with a single sword to purge the sect's bad influence?

You must know the Thousand Demon Cave holds a grudge of extermination against Mount Wutong.

Thousand Demon Cave, Spirit Plant Garden.

Jin Chi Demon Emperor threw down a pile of messy heavenly treasures and earthly gems, reminding: "You can only eat them, you cannot take them out; these are the rules set by the old dog."

Shen Yi propped himself up, looking at the haphazardly piled treasures and medicines.

Though his expression was calm, the shouting of Qingqiu Laozu rang in his heart: "My Lord! Materials for the Po Wang Pill! That blue flower, and that blood fruit! All are treasures of extremely high age!"

Before truly stepping onto a treasure land, cultivators from the outside world simply cannot understand the extravagance of the Thousand Demon Cave.

They simply do not need to refine any pills, nor care how much medicinal power is wasted; after all, swallowing them whole allows them to grow.

As long as they don't get an upset stomach.

Shen Yi waved his large hand, grabbed a handful, and stuffed it into his mouth.

While pretending to chew, he had already used the cover of the Nanyang Transformation Art to place all these treasures and medicines into his storage treasure.

Just as he waved his hand for the second time, Jin Chi Demon Emperor sat down on him, pinning him.

"Is there something wrong with your brain? With such impure medicinal power, let this Emperor digest it slowly first."

"..."

Shen Yi looked at the plump woman sitting on his arm and casually flicked her off.

He could only sit cross-legged, putting on the appearance of digesting.

Now that several cultivation methods are in hand, and with the aid of the Profound Void Spider Emperor, the only thing lacking is cultivation.

The Dao Palace Method is a divine ability for breaking through after Void Refinement; even if learned, wielding it is extremely taxing.

Shen Yi cultivated too brutally, forcing a breakthrough with the Condensing Core Method, causing a gap in the cultivation method from early Soul Transformation to perfect Soul Transformation, which can only be patched with medicinal power.

Tsk, I still need to find a chance to go out.

"Can you stop acting like a brute?"

The Jin Chi Demon Emperor was shaken off; she flapped her wings in the air. By her temper, she would have already slapped him across the face.

But seeing the lion covered in heavy wounds, gasping for breath in a miserable state.

Plus, she bore some responsibility for this matter.

She forcibly suppressed her anger, rolled her eyes at the other party, and said, "Ungrateful thing."

The Jin Chi Demon Emperor landed on the ground, suddenly remembered something, and turned around: "You... are you interested in the Eighth Cave?"

Hearing this, Shen Yi slowly opened his golden eyes.

To be honest, he had already flipped through nearly half of the broken cultivation methods in the Scripture Pavilion and was actually quite satisfied.

But a hasty search is, after all, different from having the Profound Void Spider Emperor find a reasonable combination for him.

Even if he cannot use them, taking them back to Great Qian would be a good choice.

"As expected, your brain can only hear these things."

The Jin Chi Demon Emperor withdrew her gaze resentfully and continued, "The Spider Emperor is dead, and the Scripture Pavilion still needs someone to guard it. As a great general under the Spider Emperor, you should, in theory, be the most reasonable candidate."

"However, in this place, the Thousand Demon Caves, there is no room for sentiment; what matters is strength."

"To become one of the Ten Great Demon Emperors, you are still lacking."

Hearing these slightly contemptuous words, Shen Yi said nothing more and sat quietly.

Since the other party has spoken, there must be another way.

"Hmph, you are quite steady."

The Jin Chi Demon Emperor sneered, slowly leaning close to his ear: "Listen well. Besides you, the most qualified is the Thousand-Footed Demon Emperor of the Eleventh Cave. It is a demon deeply trusted by Bai Hong. The thousand-footed creature fears Lei Ting the most..."

She told Shen Yi as much detail as possible about that Demon Emperor's fighting habits, character flaws, and fears.

Until her mouth became somewhat dry and her throat parched, the Jin Chi Demon Emperor finally pulled away: "Regardless, you must heal your wounds before you are qualified. Take your time to recover."

Watching the voluptuous woman fly away.

Shen Yi closed his eyes again.

Competing for the Ten Great Demon Emperors is certainly serious, but Bai Hong's interrogation is equally worrying.

The Jin Chi Demon Emperor's ignoring what happened does not mean she does not care at all; she has simply left the matter entirely to Bai Hong.

If Shen Yi's guess is correct, the black pupil on the forehead of that white horse probably has a distinguishing function.

To stabilize his identity in the Thousand Demon Caves.

That white horse must die.
