Demon lifespans are indeed not hard to find; as long as one is willing to put in the time, killing a few lesser demons and accumulating slowly, there's enough to be had.
But the Town Stone is different.
To continue forging my Heavenly Palace, I at least need to aim for demons of the Azure Scale Jiao's level.
Demons can't possibly grow to such size out of nowhere. Without a foundation to support their Return to Void Ninth Layer, how could it be possible? Who doesn't have a powerful backer behind them, and besides, with such strength, one would already be considered a formidable force in Nan Hong. Who knows how many intricate connections there are.
Now, Shen Yi no longer has the protection of the Alliance Sect.
Acting recklessly and charging in, whether or not I could walk out alive is still a question.
As for placing hopes on Yan Xianqing... If he had the strength to move unhindered across these lands and waters, he wouldn't have even lost his own Great Formation.
