Chapter 359 -357 Lead the Way

The Mysterious Light Cave had only four great cultivators in total.

Now that one had fallen, it must be a life-and-death situation for them.

All for the Xu Family.

Great Qian and the Mysterious Light Cave, these allies, had finally completely torn off their masks of friendship.

Yet, no one from the Martial Temple raised any objections.

They quietly followed behind Shen Yi, sweeping towards the direction of the Imperial City.

...

“What’s the situation now?”

Xu Hongde looked towards his daughter, only to see that just as they approached the majestic city, Shen Yi vanished from everyone’s sight.

There was neither a discussion on how to deal with the Mysterious Light Cave’s retaliation nor any arrangements made for the Xu family members.

“Brother Shen…”

Xu Qing’er also looked towards the city.

Knowing Brother Shen as she did, whenever he showed up in such a manner, it was highly likely that what followed would involve slaughter.

But isn’t this the Imperial City of Great Qian?

“Isn’t it obvious?”

The Xu family’s old woman turned her head: “The Mysterious Light Cave had clearly grasped the information about our family’s relocation long ago. Since it wasn’t the Martial Temple that betrayed us, there must be a mole.”

“Rest assured, we will give the Xu family an explanation as soon as possible.”

Zhu Jue stopped in his tracks, his eyes brimming with a murderous intent.

The scene just now was too shocking, almost causing them to overlook this matter.

If it weren’t for the coincidence of Junior Brother Shen returning just in time,

The Xu family would truly have been annihilated.

It’s not so much about giving the Xu family an explanation as it is a necessity to account for Junior Brother Shen.

…

In the Imperial City, within a desolate temple.

A young man dressed in hemp clothes humbly offered a few pieces of scattered silver with a smile: “Please, Brother Luo, help me out once more.”

“I’m telling you, getting a job in Ji Mansion isn’t as easy as you think,” Luo, a handyman who delivered vegetables to the mansion, said with a touch of pride upon mentioning those three words: “For someone of unknown identity like you from out of town, you had better prepare more silver in advance, to smooth the way.”

Hearing this, the young man humbly nodded in agreement: “You’re right.”

“Damn it, this shabby temple is really creepy, always gives me chills,” Luo said, rubbing his arms forcefully, and spat: “Next time, find a better restaurant, don’t meet me in such places.”

With that, he turned and left quickly.

Once he was gone, Chen Ji’s smile faded as he sat back down beneath the statue, pulling a long saber from the corner of the altar.

He silently ran his fingers along the blade.

Smuggling this saber into the Imperial City had exhausted all his energy.

But at this moment, feeling the cool touch in the palm of his hand, Chen Ji couldn’t find the sense of security he had back at the Demon-suppression Bureau in Qingzhou.

He couldn’t understand, in this vast Imperial City, in the Ji Mansion filled with masters,

What could he possibly achieve with only the saber in his hand and his meager Initial Realm strength.

The colonels all praised his talent and his astonishing diligence.

At the age of twenty, in less than two years, just by taking medicinal baths, he had managed to break through four barriers and successfully started channeling Qi into his orifices; his future achievements would certainly be significant.

But now it seemed he could only watch helplessly as Jin Yu was taken away,

Even unable to see her once, just a country bumpkin.

“At least find out if Jin Yu is safe first.”

Chen Ji bore no grudges against the Demon-suppression Bureau for handing over the girl to those people so easily.

After all, he was just a minor colonel.

Moreover, the General had even dispatched a Demon Suppression Great General to protect him alone… an unbelievably generous treatment.

Although his cultivation was not high, having followed Officer Shen for so long, Chen Ji’s mind had become much sharper.

Just looking at the disdainful attitude of those two Wang Mansion guards towards General Chen showed how profound their cultivation was; if he stayed in Qingzhou any longer, even General Chen might be in danger.

“Jin Yu… wait for me.”

Chen Ji took a deep breath, his face twisting into a ferocity.

He was completely unaware that behind him, two demon souls were whispering to each other.

“Why doesn’t this kid ask his master for help?” mused the Golden Eyes Lion Emperor, stroking his chin.

“How should I know?” Qingqiu’s old ancestor shrugged his shoulders. It stood to reason that since their master had personally assigned them to look for someone, there must be some relationship.

As the two demon souls were chatting, they suddenly stood up straight.

Almost at the same time, a figure in a black robe appeared at the entrance of the temple.

“Who is it!”

Chen Ji instinctively thought to hide his long sword. Just as he tensely looked up, he saw the familiar and handsome face.

His pupils shrank sharply, and even his facial features twitched slightly.

Shen Yi spared him no additional words, merely glancing at him casually, “What are you dazed for, lead the way.”

“…”

Chen Ji gripped the handle of his sword tightly, trying hard to hide the redness welling up in his eyes.

He recalled the last time he heard these familiar words, it was when he was leading Officer Shen to the Liuli Temple village.

It was from that day onwards that the other party ruthlessly slaughtered the Dog Demon’s family of three, and then seemed to become a different person.

“Officer Shen… I… my sister…”

His voice choked up as he tried to explain something, but then he saw Shen Yi slowly turning around, heading out of the temple.

Leaving behind just a casual remark.

“Just lead the way properly.”

Hearing this, Chen Ji clenched his teeth, rubbed his eyes, and, holding the sword, rushed out.

Outside the temple complex stood a large group of people, each exuding an extraordinary presence.

At the moment, they were all looking curiously at him.

“Uh.”

Chen Ji paused for a moment but then immediately ran towards Officer Shen.

The crowd exchanged glances, completely clueless about who this modestly dressed young man was. He seemed inconspicuous, but then A’Qing quietly said, “I’ve seen him, at the Demon-suppression Bureau in Qingzhou. He’s responsible for guarding the courtyard.”

“So…”

Zhu Jue blinked, wondering if Shen Yi’s rush back wasn’t really to catch a traitor?

“Where are they going?”

As if to answer Zhu Jue’s question, the crowd soon heard Chen Ji’s words.

“Officer Shen, I’ve asked someone, and Jin Yu is at Ji Mansion.”

“Good.”

Shen Yi walked up the main street, heading for the place he visited when he first came to the Imperial City.

For some reason, whenever he walked beside Officer Shen, Chen Ji felt an immense sense of security. The other was taciturn but had never let the people of Qingzhou down.

Finally, the opulent mansion came into view.

Luo was joking with the doorman when he suddenly saw that modestly dressed guy, holding a gleaming steel knife, charging towards them.

He shuddered.

In the Imperial City, who would dare to barge into Ji Mansion like this?

Or was it an attempt to attract attention to the mansion in an unconventional way?

Before Chen Ji could get close.

Two white-robed guards had already slowly risen to their feet, and the crowd on the street was also drawn to this scene.

After discerning the faint aura on Chen Ji,

One of the guards looked more perplexed while the other hesitated for a moment. Staring at Chen Ji’s face, as if recalling something, he said in surprise,”Isn’t that the kid who ran away? He’s actually coming to the Ji Mansion to court death?”

No sooner had he spoken than he felt a bone-chilling cold emanating from his forehead.

Following that, the two guards finally saw the figure in the black robe with golden embroidery not far away.

In the past, Shen Yi might have looked for some excuse or another.

But now, he simply took a slight step forward.

In an instant, purple-gold flames spread out, surging forward like a tidal wave.
