Chapter 196: Return to Qingzhou_1
```
"I'm telling you!"
"Now!"
"Get up immediately! Follow me and flatten Qingzhou!"
The Howling Moon Demon King's figure swayed slightly, sharp claws pressed against his own face in an effort to suppress the panic that was inadvertently showing.
Of course, the Dog Demon understood what the other was afraid of.
With the death of the Young Demon King, it would be the Howling Moon's doom as soon as Jiang Qiulan broke through.
It desperately tried to break free from the other's hold, collapsing as it said, "Stop bossing me around, for fuck's sake. I have to go back... I have to go back and report to the lady and the master."
If the Young Demon King was dead, its own survival was certainly at an end.
But how could it allow the Young Demon King to die here in vain, to die without making a sound!
"You!"
The Dog Demon staggered a few steps away, then, remembering the other's previous kindness, clenched his teeth hard and said with heavy breaths, "You don't need to rush..."
The master wouldn't easily set foot in Great Qian, but the lady would never let these bastards off.
It turned and ran wildly towards the west, like a dog that had lost its home.
"..."
Not until the back of the Dog Demon disappeared from view.
"Tsk."
Only then did the Howling Moon Demon King slowly release the claws from his face... He was really at his limit.
Who would willingly be a pawn for an arrogant little brat.
After swallowing up Qingzhou, then bestow this territory - which was rightfully his own – back to him as a reward.
Listen to how generous that sounds.
Luckily, he had learned that the brat was the only child of his family.
Only in such a case,
Could he be certain that the family would definitely seek revenge, and because of their special status, they couldn't possibly stay in Great Qian.
He could make free use of the Human Body Elixirs in this region.
And then he might as well establish a connection with the Thousand Demon Cave, leave this place once and for all, and seek the opportunity to break through to a higher realm.
Whether it was Jiang Qiulan or the Young Demon King that died here today, it was a deal that was all profit and no loss.
"Five, huh..."
The Howling Moon Demon King turned and headed leisurely towards his cave dwelling.
Qingzhou seemed to have gained another enigmatic being, a place he could not stay long... Better to leave as soon as he had his fill.
Damn Jiang Yuanhua, truly left him starving for a long time.
...
On the outskirts of Qingzhou.
A'Qian and Wu Feng broke in looking haggard.
Shen Yi had already changed back into a dark robe and was leaning against the trunk of a tree, reverting to his earlier restrained demeanor.
If it weren't for seeing with their own eyes how he killed the Young Demon King,
They would really think this young man was a cultivator of the Nurturing Yin Spirit.
"Truly terrifying."
A'Qian supported herself on her knees, quickly regulating her breath.
"Hmm?"
Shen Yi indifferently withdrew his gaze; he actually thought it was alright. The Young Demon King was indeed the strongest demon he had ever faced, and he was even armed with numerous Superior Treasures, but it didn't seem right to describe the situation as terrifying.
"She might not be talking about the Young Demon King."
Jiang Qiulan stood quietly beside Shen Yi, watching his profile and said softly, "Why wouldn't you let me take action?"
She really wanted to know the answer.
No one likes trouble in this world, even someone as formidable as him.
"There's no reason."
Shen Yi glanced at the woman. A lifespan of nine thousand eight hundred years isn't something you can just snatch away.
That is a number terribly extreme.
Even more than he had anticipated.
As for the trouble...
```
Anyway, I've grown used to it. All it means is that when I recite the name in my heart at night, I just need to add one more to the end.
He was afraid of dying, no lie, but if he didn't dare to kill this or touch that, he probably would have died in Baiyun County long ago.
Hearing this, Jiang Qiulan took a deep breath.
He slowly shifted his gaze elsewhere.
The sharpness in his clear eyes gradually softened.
Wu Feng stared intently at the silver bell on Shen Yi's waist. As a renowned monster hunter in Qingzhou, how could he not know that there was someone with them who could easily knock down a little Demon King with a flick of his hand?
With such strength, Wu Feng would believe it if someone said the other party was the incarnation of the Howling Moon Demon King.
That little Demon King actually hid so many lethal moves.
If it weren't for Shen Yi being present today, and without alerting Xiao Yue, perhaps Jiang Qiulan could have survived, but the two monster hunters certainly would have met their end there.
So many Superior Treasures...
Wait a second.
Suddenly, Wu Feng realized something: "Hold on, aren't you guys understanding the whole picture? With such generosity, it must have deep roots..."
Before he could finish, Jiang Qiulan and Shen Yi simply glanced at him indifferently.
A'Qian, standing by, gave Wu Feng a helpless punch: "Don't embarrass us."
These two young people probably figured everything out the instant the little Demon King took out the bronze mirror, and in the end, they were even helping each other to take on the trouble.
"Alright, it's all good now. When I get back, I'll pass the message to the Martial Temple... General Shen, could you give me that strand of vital blood, so that the people at the Martial Temple can verify the identity? With such a foundation, it should belong to the Thousand Demon Cave without much doubt."
A'Qian let out a long sigh of relief.
What comes next isn't that there's nothing to worry about, but that the matter is no longer something Qingzhou can get involved in; they can only leave life and death to fate.
Since that's the case, there's no need to bother.
"Isn't there a reward?"
Shen Yi took out the vital blood from the silver bell.
"Uhm... they probably want to slap us to death now." Continue your saga on My Virtual Library Empire
A'Qian smacked her lips; she didn't care about that.
Screw the bigger picture; she was a monster hunter from Qingzhou and she had to work for Qingzhou. Jiang Yuanhua with his dog-brain always bullied his own people.
"Ha-ha, I just want to see what kind of face the General makes when he finds out. It will kill him!" She started to laugh a bit maniacally.
"..."
Shen Yi was silent, looking into the void under the blessings of the Mountain Lord's talents.
A Yin God that somewhat resembled the General stood calmly behind A'Qian, and then nodded lightly in thanks to him.
Shen Yi nodded slightly in response.
Then he continued watching with interest as A'Qian ranted and raged. With every curse she uttered, the General's eyes filled with a touch more helplessness.
He had no intention of reminding Jiang Qiulan.
After all, although the General had arrived, he still tread on Qingzhou's line, never making the next move.
Jiang Yuanhua looked back at Shen Yi.
Amidst A'Qian's incessant chatter, the circumstances of the little Demon King's killing became increasingly clear.
So all the arrangements he had made over these years...
Were ultimately shattered by a simple, brutal move from a youth who had emerged from Baiyun County.
The other had joined the Demon-suppression Bureau, didn't stay at the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion but instead, leaving behind his own disciple, went to Shuiyun Village, and from there to Qingfeng Mountain... Rising to this realm at a pace incomprehensible to others.
And then, with the most straightforward and violent means, he had shattered his own nightmare.
Jiang Yuanhua's gaze fell on the gold-patterned knife sheath at the other's waist.
Suddenly, many questions echoed in his ears, did he regret it?
Had he known in advance, naturally, he would have regretted it, but such good fortune does not exist in the world, so no, he did not regret it.
He withdrew his gaze and turned to leave the place.
"Old woman, let's get going!"
Wu Feng rolled his eyes, pulled A'Qian up, and placed her on his shoulder.
The death of the little Demon King clearly changed everyone's mindset.
Except for Shen Yi.
He now just wanted to hurry back to try out the new Precious Tool he had acquired, and to turn the little Demon King into his new foundation.
