Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 406 - 403

In the depths of the Thousand Demon Cave, outside the majestic hall.

A plump figure was covered in a black robe, with a pair of golden wings slightly retracted against the backdrop of the Nanyang pattern.

The woman slowly stepped onto the imposing Yunlong staircase and stood upon the relief of the great sun, looking ahead.

A plain black-backed yellow dog lay lazily in front of the hall.

A chain hung around its neck.

The other end of the chain was held in its own mouth.

The woman bowed respectfully, her expression earnest, "Golden-Winged greets the Cave Master."

Upon hearing this, the dog slowly opened its eyes, which seemed to have seen the passage of time, slightly cloudy. Because it was biting the chain, its speech was somewhat muffled, "Speak."

"Golden-Winged is aware that deserting one's post is a grave taboo, and is willing to accept the punishment. But before that, I plan to ambush a human prodigy. He may be inside the Thousand Demon Cave, and I hope the Cave Master would grant me a powerful artifact."

The Golden-Winged Demon Emperor bowed seriously, "He possesses the Teleportation Art, unpredictable, and is adept at arrays, depth unknown. He wears a vestment robe that makes it hard to injure him."

She detailed all her needs carefully, without any omission.

The ageing dog closed its eyes again, and then streams of light flowed out from the hall, landing in front of the woman.

"Golden-Winged also needs an assistant to garrison outside the Thousand Demon Cave."

The Golden-Winged Demon Emperor still felt it wasn't enough and made another request.

The old dog was silent for a long time, finally nodding its head.

Seeing this, the Golden-Winged Demon Emperor finally turned and left the hall, her expression instantly turning indifferent.

After leaving the place,

she slowly extended her hand, and in her palm lay three smooth Huashen Pills.

Such celestial elixirs, the method of refining might be traceable from the outside, but the ingredients... must have been taken from her hands.

The Golden-Winged Demon Emperor looked at it for a long time before slowly closing her eyes.

When she opened them again, a sea of blood churned in her eyes, crimson and fierce.

...

Outside the Alchemy Workshop of the Thousand Demon Cave,

Shen Yi had just stepped out of the light curtain when he saw two figures in black robes.

"Lion Emperor, how are your injuries?" the Great Horned Demon Emperor forced a strained smile, then explained, "It's not that I was seeking you out. It's just that the Golden-Winged Demon Emperor has returned from outside the cave. She risked the Cave Master's wrath by secretly leaving the Thousand Demon Cave, all to find you."

"Fortunately, you..."

The Great Horned Demon Emperor was cut off before he could finish.

The Golden-Winged sat outside the light curtain, her eyes opening and looking at Shen Yi. Relief mixed with a trace of joy, her expression was quite complex, "You really came back."

Without waiting for the lion to reply,

she stood up and said softly, "Is the elixir enough? I have some other Heaven and Earth Treasures that you can use to replenish yourself. If you need anything, just say so, no need to be polite."

"..."

Shen Yi was silent for a moment.

Heaven and Earth Treasures, of course, he needed them, desperately.

But now, suddenly, he was not in a hurry anymore.

This Golden Winged Nine-Striped Fierce Tiger had actually left the Thousand Demon Cave...

"My Lord, there's deceit."

The White Swan Demon Emperor issued a warning from within the Town Stone.

"Come now? I've got some other good stuff there."

The Golden-Winged Demon Emperor walked toward the lion, hovering in front of him.

No sooner had these words come out than even the Great Horned Demon Emperor couldn't help but roll her eyes. The contents of the Spirit Plant Garden were fixed, and these personal schemes were too blatantly obvious.

However, she could not afford to offend either of the newcomers, so she had no choice but to act as if she hadn't heard.

Shen Yi looked on indifferently and, after a lengthy silence, he said lightly, "Alright."

"Then let's go."

The Golden-Winged Demon Emperor smiled, turned, and swept toward the fourth cave.

Shen Yi followed closely behind and soon saw the glowing screen.

The woman stepped through it without hesitation.

"..."

Shen Yi also stepped into the light screen, and the first thing to come into view was what the other party had called "good stuff."

He saw on the tree next to the fertile spirit field.

Three gravely injured bodies were hung by their waists, each appearing to be on their last breath.

"I heard from Great Horned that Nie Jun was pursuing you, and in my urgency, I went out to look for you. By chance, I heard that disciples from Wutong Mountain were visiting Great Qian, so I intercepted them on the way."

The Golden-Winged Demon Emperor stood under the tree, reached out and twisted the bloodied face of the young boy: "I intended to use them to exchange for news about you with Wutong Mountain."

At this, she suddenly laughed, "I never expected you'd come back on your own."

"Pah!"

Qingfeng spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, his swollen eyes filled with scorn and disdain: "In Wutong Mountain, I'm less than a fart. If you want to kill me, just do it. Enough with the useless talk."

Ling Xi, her eyes gouged out, stared blankly with her empty sockets at the distant lion.

She truly feared death.

Jiang Qiulan licked the blood at the corner of her lips and with great difficulty stretched out a hand to pat Ling Xi's head.

Under her comfort, Ling Xi's trembling lessened considerably, and she stopped sobbing.

"It's my fault for being incapable of protecting you..."

"Tch, she relies on nothing but magical treasures. If she had the guts, she'd take off that vestment robe and fight you in a fair fight."

Qingfeng mustered another mouthful of saliva to spit at the tiger.

Clearly, not only did the woman easily dodge it, but a casual palm strike nearly shattered Qingfeng's skull on the spot.

The Golden-Winged Demon Emperor wiped her palm on his robe before turning back to look at the lion with an indifferent expression, "Since you have already returned, there's no more use for them. Eat them to vent your anger."

As she spoke, her smile grew wider, "I've treated you quite well, haven't I? Don't forget what you said you wanted. The time is almost ripe, why not come and take it?"

"..."

Shen Yi calmly walked toward the tiger.

As he approached, a flicker of something finally appeared in the eyes of the Golden-Winged Demon Emperor, seeming to hold a certain expectation, yet mixed with faint concern.
