Chapter 387 385: The Ownership of Cave No.8 (Three in One, 3K)
Between the streams, clouds and mist were pervasive.
The divine white horse emerged from the midst of the fog at a slow pace, looking down at the numerous demons prostrating before it.
It walked past the crowd of demons, and a stream of messages gathered from their mouths before being discerned by its dark pupils.
"The Blood Transforming Demon Emperor was slain by Nie Jun; according to two sword-holding maidservants, his wife and children went missing in Great Qian,"
"The White Feathered Demon Emperor went to the Eight Directions Food Pavilion. After entering the cave dwelling, his life or death remained unknown... The cultivator surnamed Shen was also there at that time."
"This cultivator later joined forces with Yu Chao'an to steal the Youwei Spear, which was then retrieved by the Youwei Demon Emperor and the Golden Eyes Lion Emperor, but it seemed to have caused some internal strife, as the Youwei Demon Emperor left the Thousand Demon Cave and has not returned since."
The white horse's steps became even slower, unaware of the significant events that had taken place within its cave dwelling.
It then turned to another Demon King, "Continue."
"Demon Emperor Qinglin pursued Shen Yi outside the Thousand Demon Cave and was slain by several cultivators, including Tang Yuan. Many witnessed the towering purple flames."
The Demon King, trembling with fear, raised its head, "There's also the fall of the Crimson Heart Demon Emperor, which also bears the marks of Wutong Mountain's disciples and Shen Yi."
At this point, its body also began to tremble, "In Mysterious Light Cave, Zhang Xuanyan beheaded the Bear Emperor and the Silver-Backed Demon Emperor. In the end, the Golden Eyes Lion Emperor decapitated him..."
Only at this moment did Bai Hong finally hear a piece of somewhat favorable news.
It came from that Golden Eyes Lion, whom it had some doubts about.
It was utterly absurd.
"The Lion Emperor is strong... but he's also extremely ruthless towards his own, the Barbarian Mountain Boar Emperor and the Antelope Emperor were both devoured brutally for offending him, trying to seize his cave dwelling, and releasing a Wutong Mountain disciple."
The Demon King, noticing the change in Bai Hong's expression, hurried to seize the chance to accuse, "Especially the Antelope Emperor, who hesitated when the lion was trapped in the formation and was asked to leave behind Tong Xin'chuan and Yu Chao'an. It was clearly coercion, but the lion showed no mercy, only caring about its own achievements."
It indignantly added, "The Thunderhoof Demon Emperor just wanted to teach it a lesson but was beaten to death by the lion in front of two Great Demon Emperors."
"Enough."
The white horse lifted its head, interrupting the other's words.
There were not many chances to slay disciples of Wutong Mountain. Exchanging one life for two Transcendent Spirit Late Stage cultivators was definitely a profitable deal.
Missing the opportunity, their deaths were not unjust.
The Demon King paused, then helplessly crawled back, "The Colorful Rainbow Demon Emperor went after Qingfeng to kill him and still hasn't returned."
"That is to say."
The White Swan Demon Emperor moved through the crowd of demons, indifferently gazing towards the sky, "Including Youwei, my Thousand Demon Cave has inexplicably lost eleven demon emperors, and now I must add one more, the Profound Abyss Spider Emperor. Outside, only Zhang Xuanyan died?"
"Could it be that if I do not appear, the Thousand Demon Cave will be emptied?"
Its tone was calm, but any demon could hear the deadly aura contained within those words.
"It all happened too quickly..."
The Demon Kings simultaneously kowtowed, begging for mercy. For demons, slumbering for several years was quite normal; nobody could have anticipated such a drastic change.
"Ever since that cultivator surnamed Shen arrived, Wutong Mountain has become increasingly arrogant and domineering. Last time, not even the Golden-Winged Demon Emperor could detain them."
If even a Great Demon Emperor's intervention was futile, what could they—the lesser demons—do?
The White Swan Demon Emperor was silent for a long while, then spoke softly, "All of you, leave."
```
Hearing this, the demons scattered and fled in all directions, as if they had received a great pardon.
Until the place was deserted.
A figure, massive like a dragon, surged out from the mist, its densely packed claws slightly nauseating.
It halted behind the white horse, adopting a posture of waiting for orders.
"Take advantage of that lion's serious injury, occupy the Eighth Cave first, and I have another plan."
The White Swan Demon Emperor slowly turned around, his dark pupils profound, "Golden-Winged and Xuan Ming have been too lenient with him. In my view, although he's strong, he still needs to be knocked down a peg. Climbing too fast is not a good thing."
Even though that person had slain Zhang Xuanyan and almost killed many of Wutong Mountain's disciples.
But no matter how great the feat, it wasn't a reason for him to randomly attack his own people.
The White Swan even suspected that Xuan Ming's death had something to do with that lion, whose ambition was barely disguised. Probably, even the First Cave would not satisfy him.
The reason he let the lion go back to heal was just for the sake of Golden-Winged's face.
Such a subordinate, Bai Hong dared not employ.
He had been planning to find some excuse to dispose of him later, but now he suddenly found that the Thousand Demon Cave had suffered a heavy loss...
Even if he were to be used, it had to be done in his own way.
Thousand Demon Cave had been at ease for too long; it was time to go out for a walk. It could even use this opportunity to squeeze out the lion's last bit of value.
"Thousand-Foot will surely live up to my emperor's high expectations."
Thousand-Foot turned into a brawny man with bare upper body and eight arms, his fists clenched with force.
...
Thousand Demon Cave, Spirit Plant Garden.
Shen Yi strolled among the spiritual fields, occasionally plucking a plant and stuffing it into his mouth.
Although these fields had been neglected, the Precious Medicines within them were growing well; however, most had been eaten haphazardly and had not yet regrown properly.
"Do you think this is your own vegetable garden?"
Golden-Winged Demon Emperor descended from the sky, blocking the lion's path, "How much have you stolen these past few days? These Precious Medicines all have allotted portions; many Demon Emperors must follow the rules to receive them, yet you've eaten enough to round your belly!"
"Cough—"
Shen Yi frowned and coughed twice, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth before turning to walk out of the spiritual fields.
"..."
Golden-Winged Demon Emperor took a deep breath, helplessly saying, "Show some spirit, become a Great Demon Emperor, and then you won't lack tonic medicines."
Just then, she sensed something.
After slightly pausing, she transformed into her original form and swiftly left the cave dwelling.
Outside the light screen.
The eight-armed brawny man stood with head bowed, respectfully nodding to the Golden Winged Nine-Striped Fierce Tiger in front of him: "Thousand-Foot pays respect to the Golden-Winged Demon Emperor."
If it were any normal time, the Golden-Winged Demon Emperor, though not particularly courteous to this long worm, would not trouble him too much.
```
The opponent's strength was still somewhat distant from that of the Great Demon Emperor, but it had nothing to do with talent; they were merely inexperienced.
However, at this moment, she faintly felt something was amiss, "What are you doing here?"
Upon hearing this, the eight-armed strongman bowed earnestly, "By the order of the White Swan Demon Emperor, Thousand-Foot intends to take over the eighth cave and has come to inform the Golden-Winged Demon Emperor... and that lion."
The golden wings slowly flapped, and the fierce tiger's countenance gradually changed.
In those vertical pupils, which seemed calm, the gaze had already enveloped the strongman completely.
The pressure emanating from the Great Demon Emperor slowly spread.
She smiled and said, "When did I fail to recall that White Swan possessed such authority? Ascension in the Thousand Demon Cave isn't about connections."
Faced with the towering pressure,
The Thousand-Foot Demon Emperor's expression remained unchanged, still that serious demeanor, "That is my purpose for coming here. If that lion disagrees, I wouldn't mind teaching it the rules of the Thousand Demon Cave."
After speaking, it lowered its palms, "I'll trouble the Golden-Winged Demon Emperor to pass the message. If it has no objections, I will return to the eighth cave."
Boom!
Before the words had settled, the eight-armed strongman was slammed onto the ground by a swing of the golden wing.
The edge of the wing pressed against its neck, leaving a trail of blood.
The fierce tiger's forepaw slowly stepped onto its chest, then pressed down fiercely!
"Can't you have a little shame?"
"Taking advantage when others are injured?"
"I would equally not mind making you the same as it, that would be fair."
Listening to that chilling mockery, the eight-armed strongman, feeling the pain of his bones grinding, squeezed out a smile despite the pain, "You're being somewhat excessive."
"Am I?" The Golden-Winged Demon Emperor's claw sunk into its flesh, her eyes brimming with lethal intent.
"Indeed."
The eight-armed strongman did not respond, instead, a light whisper came from the sky.
The white horse stepped on the clouds, looking down indifferently at this scene.
"..."
The Golden-Winged Ferocious Tiger raised its head, silently gazing at the robust figure above.
Instinctively, she bared her teeth.
But this fierce demeanor failed to affect the white horse in the slightest.
The White Swan Demon Emperor simply watched quietly.
Only when the Golden-Winged Demon Emperor slowly retracted her claw, she exclaimed angrily, "The Golden Eyes Lion Emperor is the only Demon Emperor under the Profound Abyss Spider Emperor."
"There were others once,"
White Swan laughed lightly, "But they were either beaten to death by it or chased away."
"Once it recovers from its injuries..."
The Golden-Winged Demon Emperor had not yet finished speaking when White Swan interrupted, "Luck is also part of strength, and besides, it was never a match for Thousand-Foot to begin with."
"Tsch!"
The fierce tiger stomped restlessly, then transformed into human form.
Despite her many reasons, she could not counter the opponent's words.
This was the Thousand Demon Cave.
No need for long-winded machinations.
She roared towards the inside of the light screen, "Roar!"
Before long, an eight-zhang tall, magnificent figure walked out unhurriedly.
Sword wounds still covered the face beneath the mane.
The golden eyes also lacked their usual brilliance, showing a hint of tiredness.
"I can't reason with them!" the Golden-Winged Demon Emperor leapt up, standing on its arm, trembling with agitated breath, "The Great Demon Emperor of the third cave bullies us with power, tell me, can we do anything but submit?"
Even if the matter was already settled, she wanted to give the white horse a hard time.
"Submit then! What else can you do?"
The voluptuous woman chortled, waving her hand dismissively.
The white horse didn't respond to her crazed words, gave the lion a brief glance, and then turned to leave.
Just then, its movement hesitated for a moment.
Only to see the lion look up slightly, its hoarse voice echoing all around,
"Then let's fight."
"..."
The eight-armed strongman rose from the ground, staring in disbelief, seemingly unable to trust his own ears.
"Heh."
It grinned and gave a rough laugh.
"Hisss."
The voluptuous woman twitched at the corner of her eye, twisting it hard, she whispered low, "Are you out of your mind, I was just venting... Fight, with what will you fight, can you even walk steadily? Fight!"
Her words had not ended when she was flung away by the lion.
Shen Yi slowly walked up to the eight-armed strongman, scrutinizing him closely, and suddenly let out a derisive sneer, "My eighth cave, do you think yourself worthy of coveting it?"
Regarded by those golden eyes,
The Thousand-Foot Demon Emperor stood dazed for a long time, unable to discern who was the true Demon Emperor of the eleventh cave.
The voluptuous woman awkwardly fluttered her wings.
She had thought that after the lion was injured, it would become a bit more restrained... but it was becoming more and more outrageous?!
What do you think?
