Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 345 - 343: Inverting the Heavenly Gangs

Chapter 345 -343: Inverting the Heavenly Gangs

Upon hearing this, the two Demon Emperors had different expressions on their faces.

They had not transformed into human form.

One was a black bear and the other a silver-grey monkey, both hunched over as they stood.

The black bear instinctively took a step backward.

The monkey furrowed its brow, a hint of dissatisfaction in its eyes, “Why speak with veiled criticism? I’ve not provoked you. Today, by the order of the Thunderhoof Demon Emperor, I don’t care about any grudges between you and Man Shan, just come with me quickly.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi slowly rose from his throne, “It definitely won’t be coming.”

...

Listening to this indifferent tone, the monkey finally looked up and really took in the tall lion before it. When it saw the scars covering the lion, its gaze became increasingly cloudy and uncertain.

It had earlier heard that this foolish lion had gone to ambush a cultivator and had not returned.

It had assumed the lion had died out there.

But now it seemed the lion had returned alive, while Man Shan was nowhere to be seen.

Could what it said earlier be true?

After pondering for a moment, the monkey chuckled, “No wonder you dare speak to me this way. Have you had some fortuitous encounter that makes you want to ascend to the heavens all at once? It’s just that I wonder if the Thunderhoof Demon Emperor would still catch your eye now.”

Having said that, it slightly raised its hand, “Please, shall we?”

“Heh.”

The lion slightly lowered its head and let out a cold chuckle, leisurely exiting the cave.

The other two demons looked at each other, their faces gloomy, and followed.

The black bear was the Demon Emperor of the forty-eighth cave, ranking towards the bottom end. Initially, it couldn’t really speak up in front of the Golden Eyes Lion Emperor. It was closer to Man Shan, so now, suddenly hearing of the latter’s death, it felt somewhat oppressed.

But, considering that Man Shan was too callous and had bad luck, it deserved its fate.

The monkey, on the other hand, was different. It was a great demon whose cultivation matched that of Man Shan. Now it clearly couldn’t figure out the depth of the Golden Eyes Lion Emperor and thus temporarily suppressed its anger.

“…”

Shen Yi, listening to the footsteps coming from behind, felt a bit of itch in his heart.

He did enjoy the long lifespan of demons.

But this journey was not solely for the sake of longevity. Ever since he obtained the recipe for the Huashen Pill, he had grown even more interested in the cultivators’ dwellings within the Thousand Demon Cave.

Demons can be killed anytime, but information about the Nanyang Sect could only be obtained through these few pathways.

Exposing himself too early was no good.

It would be best to climb up the ranks step by step and become the real core of the Thousand Demon Cave to see just how much wealth they had accumulated after taking over this place.

The possessions of cultivators were wasted in the hands of demons, only in his own hands would they be fully utilized.

…

The three great demons moved agilely and in complete silence along the way.

Until they reached the edge of a cliff, below which was a depression filled with thick Thunder Plasma that flickered like a lake.

As if sensing the approach of the demons,

the Thunder Plasma lake emitted a dull hum, “It’s still that dwelling from four hundred years ago, slaughter them.”

“…”

Shen Yi felt the potent aura and sensed the excitement within his body where the Golden Thunder White Jade seemed to stir.

Such an extraordinary place—if used to aid one’s cultivation, the speed of boundary progression could be unimaginable.

No wonder the cultivators outside were desperate to break in.

“Understood.”

The silver-grey monkey nodded toward the Thunder Plasma lake.

Stopping the cultivators from exploring the dwellings was the only strict rule of the Thousand Demon Cave, which not even the Demon Emperors of the top ten caves could defy.

The three demons turned to leave.

Just then, the lake suddenly split open with a surge of thunderous waves, and from it emerged a bizarre head, resembling that of a ram but with a solitary horn on top and a face with four green eyes.

It watched the retreating backs of the demons and spoke calmly, “Where is Man Shan?”

Upon hearing this, the black bear halted in its tracks while the monkey’s face twisted into an odd smile as its gaze shifted simultaneously toward the formidable lion.

Shen Yi felt the icy gaze coming from behind him.

For a moment, his body even stiffened slightly.

The last time he had felt such a profound oppression was coming from the Youwei Demon Emperor.

“Weren’t you acting all mighty just a moment ago?”

The Monkey lowered its head and lightly brushed its nose with its thumb.

Just then, it saw the Lion slowly turning around, calmly gazing at the strange head on the lake’s surface, its voice hoarse, “I killed it.”

With no attempt to justify himself, he directly admitted it.

Upon hearing this, even the Gray Bear couldn’t help but shiver, unconsciously distancing itself a bit more from that tall figure, fearing being lashed out at.

The Monkey’s palm froze mid-air: “…”

It was hard to imagine that this was the same silly Lion as before.

The Thunderhoof Demon Emperor’s four dark green eyes stared intently at the Golden Eyes Lion Emperor, noting the other’s expression still unchanged. After a long time, it dived back into the Thunder Plasma, leaving behind a rather stern statement.

“Don’t screw this up.”

“…”

Shen Yi looked away, resuming his walk into the distance.

He realized that he was quite quick to adapt to the ways of dealing with Demons.

To climb higher, it was impossible to handle things according to the Lion Emperor’s original character.

It just so happened that there was that Pig Demon.

Seeing one’s wives and concubines being taken over in the cave dwelling, it was normal for one’s temperament to change slightly.

“Damn it, just let it go,” the Silver Gray Monkey muttered as it followed.

For Demons, garrisoning a cave dwelling was a tiresome task.

They found it difficult to break the Formations within, and even if they did, they weren’t much interested in anything other than Heaven and Earth Treasures, like magical treasures or Cultivation Techniques.

The only advantage was the chance to encounter bunches of Human Body Elixirs delivering themselves to their door, allowing a change of taste.

But such good fortune was not common.

After all, most of the time, even if they knew about an opening cave dwelling, nobody dared to peek inside.

On the rare occasions someone did come, it was easy to encounter real Cultivator powerhouses.

With this in mind, the Silver Gray Monkey glanced at the figure ahead of it. It wasn’t antagonizing the Lion for no reason, but today’s attitude from the other had made it feel threatened.

The caves of the Thousand Demon Cave weren’t arranged haphazardly.

The closer to the front, the more abundant the essence of heaven and earth, and the larger the territory held.

Whatever means the other had used to kill Man Shan meant it could just as easily kill itself.

It was the perfect opportunity to test the mettle of this Lion.

Thinking this, the Silverback Monkey Emperor took a deep breath and looked towards the light screen rippling out in the distance like waves.

It looked somewhat nervous.

According to their judgement, this cave dwelling, which opened once every four hundred years, should belong to a deacon of the Nanyang Sect.

A cave dwelling like this would attract Cultivators who were definitely not weak.

That’s why multiple Demon Emperors needed to join forces.

“…”

Shen Yi also fixed his gaze on that light screen.

With the status of a Demon Emperor, he could freely explore places like this.

Even though A’Qing wasn’t by his side, with the help of Elder Qingqiu, he could just barely manage.

It was at this moment that Black Bear’s ears suddenly twitched: “They really timed their arrival perfectly.”

It fixed its gaze downward.

Sighting about four or five figures employing their skills, they approached the light screen with tense expressions.
