Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 393 - 391: The Breakdown of the Fortified Mouse
Chapter 393: Chapter 391: The Breakdown of the Fortified Mouse
“…”
Shen Yi patted the dust off his vestment robe, his palm reaching for the storage bag, only to find it empty.
He slowly clenched his fingers.
After taking several deep breaths, he managed to suppress his rage.
All the Demon Cores he had saved from Song State until today were gone! All of them!
A full five swords’ worth!
...
If he didn’t strip Wutong Mountain bare to its last morsel, he’d write his name, Shen, backwards from now on.
“Go, find me that white horse,” he ordered.
Shen Yi released the Profound Abyss Spider Emperor and the Golden Eyes Lion Emperor.
He also sent a command to Qinghua in his mind.
Anger aside, he couldn’t neglect the things that needed to be seized.
By this time, the White Swan Demon Emperor had likely already made his escape.

“My lord…”
Lady Qinghua, struggling to hold back her fury, pleaded, “Please let Qinghua be the one to slay Nie Jun.”
“Find the white horse first,” he insisted.
Shen Yi knew what was more valuable, and the thought of his Golden Body Dharma Identity defeating Nie Jun was a pipe dream.
That said, if not for Nie Jun today, dealing with this demon calamity by himself would have indeed been a stretch.
But reason was reason.
Watching the foundation he had accumulated along the way being depleted was something Shen Yi could not accept.
If Wutong Mountain failed to provide adequate compensation, this matter would not be settled!
Qinghua hesitated before replying with reluctance, “Yes! Qinghua obeys.”
Shen Yi adjusted his emotions and reluctantly took out a Hong Yun from his storage bag.
Lacking resources, he had no choice but to resort to some old relics.
Standing on the Hong Yun, he felt both love and hatred for the vestment robe he was wearing; even under Nie Jun’s relentless sword techniques, he remained unharmed, but the consumption was terrifyingly excessive.
Shen Yi shifted his focus and rode the clouds toward Li State.
…
At the Li State Instrument Sect.
Xu Qing’er was meticulously inscribing array symbols onto a pill furnace.
A few old men squatted beside her, excited. They had always pondered if using formations could aid in instrument crafting, but never had the opportunity.
This girl not only fulfilled their myriad of whimsical ideas for instrument crafting,
but could also effortlessly integrate them with the crafting process.
“You are the true Grandmaster of arrays!”
“You flatter me too much, seniors; I’ve only dabbled a bit,” responded Xu Qing’er.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead, carefully examining the pill furnace before her to see if there was anything to improve.
This was the only task Shen Yi had entrusted to Great Qian after he left.
Even though it had been completed a long time ago, she still wanted to make it as perfect as possible.
Xu Qing’er got up and walked out of the stifling room.
Her aunt was waiting outside, bored, initially hoping to wander around freely after coming out.
However, Shen Yi turned around and left them in Great Qian without a second thought.
Xu Wanyun was beginning to miss the times when they aimlessly roamed the Thousand Demon Cave with him.
“That’s right!”
Her interest piqued, she suddenly turned around, reminded of the Thousand Demon Cave and the buzzing rumors: “Did you know that the Thousand Demon Cave has proclaimed to the world that another Great Demon Emperor of the top ten caves has appeared… Guess what its name is?”
“What is it?”
Xu Qing’er asked curiously, not understanding why her aunt was being so cryptic about a demon’s name.
“Tsk.”
Just as Xu Wanyun was about to speak, she was startled by footsteps from behind.
Turning to look, her face lit up with joy: “When did you get back!”
“Just now,” Shen Yi replied with a slight nod, and then headed towards the house.
Xu Qing’er looked at the retreating back of Brother Shen Yi, still the picture of composure, his black robe without a hint of dust, as if the crisis-laden outside world was nothing more than a leisurely stroll for him.
“Did you make this?”
Shen Yi examined the exquisitely crafted pill furnace before him.
“I forged it together with a few predecessors from the Qi Sect… I’m not sure if it can be used,” Xu Qing’er said, shyly clasping her hands behind her back.
“You’ve worked hard.”
Shen Yi nodded, tossing over two jade slips, “Take these to copy, and read them at your leisure.”
Xu Qing’er cradled the jade slips in her hands, in no rush to examine them, “What kind of pills are you planning to refine, Brother Shen? Do you need me to add any more formations?”
“Go attend to your matters, I will call you if I need anything,” Shen Yi said, gesturing slightly with his hand.
“Oh.”
Xu Qing’er pursed her lips, preferring to stay by the other’s side for a while longer rather than receive gifts.
Still, she obediently turned and left the room.
Hehe, at least I’m the only one with a gift.
Closing the door behind her.
Xu Qing’er glanced at her aunt who was looking around curiously, excitedly waving the jade slips, before sinking her consciousness into them.
The next moment, her face turned deathly pale.
“This is…”
Xu Qing’er instinctively covered her mouth, swallowing the latter half of her sentence.
It was only when her aunt came closer with a suspicious look that she spoke in a hurried whisper, “This is the ‘Tong Xin’chuan God-Forging Silk’ from Wutong Mountain.”
As part of the Xu Family that studied the methods of many disciplines, how could they overlook the esteemed presence of that Array Master.
Hearing this, Xu Wanyun’s expression turned equally odd.
Wutong Mountain’s cultivation technique, and in a jade slip at that, not a mere copy—how could it end up in Shen Yi’s hands?
She also remembered the matter she had not finished speaking of, lowering her voice as well, “The new emperor of Thousand Demon Cave… is called the Golden Eyes Lion Emperor.”
Xu Qing’er pressed the jade slip tightly against her chest, “…”
Turning back to her aunt, she saw she was also breathing heavily.
The Golden Eyes Lion Emperor was, after all, someone they had personally seen Shen Yi slay, with even his head shattered by the Golden Body Dharma Identity.
If he could still come back to life, there would be no need to resist the Thousand Demon Cave anymore, they might as well wait for death.
“So…”
Xu Qing’er blinked, Brother Shen Yi’s absence this time wasn’t spent on slaying demons, but on becoming the Demon Emperor of Thousand Demon Cave?!
Even helping herself to steal a secret technique from Wutong Mountain?
The two women exchanged a glance, fearfully but without hesitation squashing the speculation in their eyes.
No matter what, Brother Shen Yi must have his reasons for everything he does!
“…”
Listening to the faint conversation outside the door.
Shen Yi’s expression remained unchanged.
There weren’t many who could earn his trust, and he didn’t give many instructions precisely because he believed in Xu Qing’er’s intelligence.
“How does it look?”
He glanced to the side.
The Qingqiu ancestor circled the pill furnace, “Reporting to my lord, it should barely suffice.”
It looked up to explain, “I’m not saying the pill furnace is bad, even Qingqiu would struggle to find such a fine item. It’s just that the Huashen Pill and Overwhelm Confusion Pill are of such high quality that they can’t be satisfied by mere mortal efforts.”
Shen Yi nodded, “As long as it works, that’s enough.”
His present strength, compared to the tasks at hand, was far from sufficient.
Even with the help of Dao Palace, employing all possible means, securing a victory over the White Swan Demon Emperor was uncertain—not to mention facing a multitude of Demon Emperors within the Thousand Demon Cave.
He sat cross-legged, opening the panel.
[Remaining Demon Lifespan: 24,000 years]
For beings like the Thousand-Foot Demon Emperor with decent strength, their remaining lifespans were somewhat worrisome.
However, slaughtering other demons without good reason wasn’t easy to justify.
That he could slaughter nearly one-third of the Demon Emperors in Thousand Demon Cave all at once without arousing suspicion was already extremely fortunate.
It could wait until after he seized the legacy of Nanyang Sect to consider turning hostile.
