Jiang Qiulan slowly left the top of the mountain.
Shen Yi stared at the direction the other party left with a little emotion. A master is a master. He feels as if time is worthless and even walks in a leisurely manner.
I don't know when I will have such strength again, so I stopped and rested for a while.
As soon as this thought came to mind, it was extinguished.
This fight with the White Deer Demon King can be said to have forced out all of Shen Yi's tricks.
The Sky Demon's external elixir was exhausted, and the blue-red light from the Peacock Demon also needed time to recover. The golden light on the Sky-Breaking Sun Bow dimmed by more than half.
Even the strong body blessed by the fifth metamorphosis of the immortal demon was now showing signs of fatigue from the inside out.
He is worthy of being one of the famous demon kings in Baodan realm in Qingzhou.
However, even the white deer, beside the bull demon, still looked servile and fawning.
If you want to remain unmoved in the midst of chaos and turmoil, you still have a long way to go.
Shen Yi retracted his gaze and thought of the Heaven-Swallowing Pill Devouring Technique and the Sun-Melting Furnace that Jiang Qiulan had mentioned before.
Obviously, even if the other party did not recognize the external alchemy technique that originated from the Qingqiu fox demon, he discovered that he was relying on some external force and using the demon's cultivation.
But her attitude surprised Shen Yi a little.
The other party didn't seem to think this was a big deal, and reminded me that I could use the pill-condensing method to completely turn this "external force" into my own use.
Just a slight touch of the ice sword was enough to overwhelm Shen Yi. If he remembered correctly, this woman had thousands of identical silver needles hidden in her body, enough to form a terrifying black ice jade dragon.
In comparison, he was just suppressing an external pill, so there was really no need to make a fuss.
Does she mean to use the suppressive power of the Molten Sun Furnace to feed the inner elixir with the outer elixir of the Heavenly Demon?
"…"
Shen Yi calmed himself down. It was too early to think about these things now. After all, he hadn't even mastered the method of condensing the pill, let alone embracing the pill and conserving the spirit after the pill condensation was completed.
It's time to take some time to go back to Qingzhou City to find the monster catcher and ask for rewards from the imperial court.
At this moment, the silver bell is filled with all kinds of demon blood.
There are a family of four of the tiger, a family of three of the peacock, the Toad King of Black Rock Pond, as well as the two great demons who have reached the perfection of Dan Condensation, the Golden Eagle and the Sable, as well as the three intelligent little demons who were killed when they escorted Xiao Qiangwei to Black Rock Pond, and the essence blood of the demon in the young Dan realm obtained when delivering a letter to Baiyun Temple.
And the most majestic one belongs to the white deer.
Instead, the aura of the monster all dissipated due to death, not even a trace was left... The most cost-effective way would be to take the aura back to record the merit, and then come out to kill the monster.
Or because it was his first time as a monster hunter, he had no experience and wasted a lot of his efforts.
Shen Yi stretched his body a little, then looked back: "Senior Xiao, how long do you plan to lie down?"
He and Jiang Qiulan were both martial artists with great skills, so they knew that Xiao Qiangwei had woken up a long time ago. However, neither of them was nosy, so they did not disturb her while she was pretending to sleep.
"…"
Xiao Qiangwei's eyelashes trembled, and she sat up from the ground, a little embarrassed and said: "I see you are talking about business, it's not good to disturb you... It's okay, I can go back by myself."
She really didn't expect that the young man would actually refuse Jiang Qiulan's invitation. If Jiang Chengyun were here, he would have drawn his sword and asked the sky to show his loyalty.
As for why pretending to sleep.
She really couldn't imagine what expression she should have when sitting next to the two of them to appear less awkward...
Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said calmly: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you spend a little more time."
If this woman hadn't used the silver bell to remind him, he would have most likely fallen into a trap to kill Jiang Qiulan. There were three great demons at least at the Baodan stage, plus three demon kings at the perfect stage of Ningdan...
No matter how conceited Shen Yi was, he didn't dare to say that he could easily escape from such a situation.
"Thank you." Xiao Qiangwei stood up and walked to his side, thanking him softly.
The two men left the ruined temple, walked out of the Xitai Mountains, and headed towards the grove where the demon horse was previously tied.
Xiao Qiangwei used a silver bell to report her safety to the waiting monster hunter, and then calmed the frightened monster horse.
"Are you going to Linjiang County?"
The two men rode back to the city. The woman wanted to tell them to be careful on their journey, but she took the words back when they came to her lips.
After what happened last night, the other party has become someone who can kill monsters with Jiang Qiulan. What Shen Yi wants to do is no longer something he can participate in.
"Let's go and have a look."
Although Shen Yi felt it was a bit troublesome, he changed his mind and realized that it was because of his lack of proficiency in controlling the Heavenly Demon External Pill that the two Demon Suppression Generals were busy with this matter.
I was just running errands, it's nothing.
What's more, as a personal adjutant general of Linjiang County, it's a bit strange that he still doesn't know which direction the Linjiang County Demon-Suppressing General's Mansion is facing.
"I want to ask, what did the demon who ambushed and killed Lord Jiang last night look like?" Xiao Qiangwei looked a little nervous.
"A bull demon." When Shen Yi mentioned this, a trace of barely perceptible regret flashed across his eyes. He left in too much haste last night and forgot to absorb a breath of air from the bull demon.
"Little Demon King?" Xiao Qiangwei suddenly pulled the reins hard: "It's broken!"
"What do you mean?" Shen Yi glanced sideways.
"No wonder Lord Jiang has to rush back to Yushan County immediately. Every time this little demon king gets injured and escapes, the Xiaoyue Demon King will order his men to stir up trouble in Qingzhou, leaving the Demon Suppression Division no time to take advantage of the opportunity to ambush and kill him." Xiao Qiangwei looked worried.
An old demon king would actually take such good care of an external competitor.
All we can say is that it has been coveting the Qingzhou territory for a long time.
He would rather raise a new demon king to compete with it than kill the general and Jiang Qiulan first.
Xiao Qiangwei sighed: "This kind of deliberate disturbance is simply to give the Demon Suppression Division something to do. Because there is no ulterior motive, it is difficult to receive any information in advance, and there is no way to prepare in advance."
Shen Yi looked far ahead, but his expression did not change.
A few months ago, he was still a constable in Baiyun County. Now he suddenly started talking to him about the situation in Qingzhou. It was really a bit unreasonable.
If you see a monster, just kill it. What else can you do?
…
After returning to Tingyang City, Shen Yi did not stay for long.
He simply said goodbye to Xiao Qiangwei, and then changed into an ordinary-looking carriage. Although it was still pulled by a demon horse, he did not act like a general driving a carriage.
Just like when she and Jiang Chengyun came to Tingyang County quietly, when they left, only Xiao Qiangwei stood on the street and watched the carriage gradually disappear at the end of their sight.
The only change is that there are fewer big monsters around Tingyang County.
Xiao Qiangwei withdrew her gaze after a long time, staring at the tip of her shoe in a daze.
As both of them are great demon-suppressing generals, why can Mr. Chen cultivate such a powerful and mesmerizing follower? General You is very powerful, and several of his followers are also well-known figures, but compared with Shen Yi, they are inevitably much less impressive.
Sure enough, old ginger is still spicy.
