Chapter 707 - 421: The Taoist Priest Comes Out of the Mountains, the Nether Tiger's Scheme, Ruan'er, You've Gone the Wrong Way! - 2
"Well, since that is the case, I shall have Lin Luo accompany the Taoist Priest on a journey. It should facilitate State Preceptor's investigation into the Hidden Dragon Alliance matter. If you happen to discover the trail of that Demon Tiger in the Southern Region, I ask that you make a detour there and join forces with the two Buddhist and Taoist sects to kill the Demon Tiger. What say you?"
Ying Si gave it some thought and immediately turned to Yi Chen to ask.
Even now, he could not yell orders at Yi Chen. All matters had to be discussed and each side had to give face to the other.
A person capable of taking on a commander of the Demon Army in direct combat was surely to be respected, even by Ying Si. He would not issue an order like, "I will send people to meet you, now you go to the Southern Region and look for that Demon Tiger."
"Let everything be as the Emperor has said."
With Lin Luo's assistance, indeed, mobilizing Great Qin's official resources would be significantly easier. Moreover, the Demon Tiger had long been on Yi Chengzi's list of demonic targets; Yi Chen did not hesitate and immediately agreed.
"When will the State Preceptor depart? I will have someone prepare the Transmission Formation. That will make it faster."
"There is no time to delay, poor Taoist can depart right now."
"It seems the State Preceptor is indeed very concerned about those two from Kunxu Mountain. Great men often have many wives and concubines; it is quite ordinary. I won't say more. I only hope the State Preceptor is just as diligent in caring for my Princess Changya~" Ying Si looked at Yi Chen and winked, teasing him half-jokingly, half-seriously.
Yi Chen: "...."
"Your Majesty!!! On Kunxu Mountain, I have only one Taoist Couple!"
Facing such unfounded gossip, the Great Qin State Preceptor immediately clarified with righteous indignation, but he did not mention the name of a certain purple-haired girl.
"Ah, the State Preceptor is still shy. I understand, I understand... When I was still a Prince, I played harder than you, State Preceptor. It was only later, when I became busy with state affairs, that I slowly settled down." Ying Si said leisurely, seemingly recalling some past memories.
As for the remarks of Emperor Qin Ying Si, the Great Qin State Preceptor refused to comment!
Half an hour later, in the Northern Region of Great Qin.
Within a majestic city, a hidden Great Teleportation Array underground shone with a burst of golden light, and the figures of a man and a woman slowly materialized.
"State Preceptor, Feng Xiu City is the closest large city to Kunxu Mountain equipped with a long-distance Transmission Formation. If we speed through the sky, we should be able to reach it by midnight."
The purple-haired girl frowned slightly – if not for Ying Si's command, she would not have wanted to take this trip.
At that moment, a large hand gently patted her shoulder. The towering Taoist Priest whispered something to her, which softened the expression on the purple-haired girl's face. After Lin Luo tied her veil properly, the two of them stepped out of the Teleportation Array.
...
...
In the Northern Region, within a dark cave, the view moves downward to reveal a vast Demon Pool, supporting a slowly growing portal in the Earth Abyss.
The entire cave was sealed by a Mysterious Array that locked in all auras firmly. If a cultivator were to sweep through the area above with their Divine Thought, they would not detect anything amiss.
At this moment, busy demonkin were throwing corpse after corpse into the Demon Pool. With a 'gulp', the bodies were swallowed by the pool, their flesh turned to mud, leaving only souls to float and wail in the sea of blood.
At this moment, on the dark throne above.
A tall Demonkin with a fierce tiger's head was gnawing on the thigh bone of a female cultivator from the Human Race. With a big tear, fresh blood immediately splashed down.
A simian-headed Demonkin kneeled on the ground, reporting something nervously and carefully.
"Are you saying the bumbling wolf with a head full of patches from the Western Extreme Demon Country is dead?"
He swallowed the flesh in his throat and frowned.
"Reporting to Demon Marshal Nether Tiger, the Qin military's Formation was too fierce, with many experts among them. The leaders were particularly fierce. After our massive defeat, we fled, and many comrades died under the chase of the Qin Military Generals."
"I was lucky to escape, and then met your troop and was brought here."
The simian-headed demonkin kneeling before Nether Tiger was none other than the Demon General Marlo, who carefully reported his experience to Nether Tiger, and, of course, he presented his own flight in a positive and necessary light.
After all, the Hundred-Headed Demon Wolf was dead, and a dead wolf was always a convenient blame.
The current Demon General Marlo had lost all his initial bravery and ambition. Now, he just wanted to live. The very thought of that terrifying Taoist Priest made his heart tremble.
"Ha ha, the Hundred-Headed Demon Wolf, that idiot, ultimately lacked wit. It's hilarious! Truly arrogant and presumptuous. He tried to force his way through the spatial portal, got stuck, was sneak attacked and heavily injured, and in the end, met his demise~"
"Gentlemen, the Human Race may be naturally frail, but their books are indeed filled with wisdom. Having studied the historical records of the Human Race extensively, I consider myself to be almost an authority on humans."
"The Human Race, they are a combination of all contradictions."
"They are passionate, they are cold-hearted; they are good at remembering, they often forget; they are loyal to their dreams, they compromise at any time; they wish to accompany the Holy Ones, but for their own interests, they always cooperate with devils."
Saying this, Nether Tiger's voice paused, grew suddenly heavier, as if making a summarizing statement.
"What's more important is that the majority of them are always carefully protected by a small group of the bravest heroes!"
"Previously, some of you had reservations about me abandoning our original spatial portal. I am aware of this. Now, everyone can see that the arrogant Hundred-Headed Demon Marshal of the Western Extreme Demon Country has paid the price of his life for his stupidity. The Human Realm is not as frail as we imagined."
What do you think?
