Chapter 453: Chapter 83: Ancestral Dragon, Not a Dragon? Annihilation of Demon Shedding (Large Chapter with 10k characters, taking a day off tomorrow)_4

[Not to mention, your rash visit to the Primordial Spirit Cave was a violation of the entry restrictions in the Demon Division’s territory, which is a crime! Who gave you the authority?!]

"Let’s be reasonable, anything related to the Heavenly Demon can be treated with some flexibility."

An Jing almost rolled his eyes at this; this demon spirit’s rigid bureaucratic air hardly resembled that of a tree—it was practically human!

However, the other party was unable to sense the demonic Qi within the Primordial Spirit Cave? An Jing thought it over and realized that indeed, it was only after Xi Yin entered the cave that the Demon Shedding was discovered. From beginning to end, the Demon Shedding never strayed from within a hundred yards of the Primordial Spirit Cave, all its aura suppressed by the Golden Qi of Broken Blade Mountain itself.

Perhaps, this was the reason the Demon Shedding did not leave the Primordial Spirit Cave—to avoid the local demon spirits from discovering evidence.

"I have no evidence."

At that moment, An Jing sensed that Weng Cuiyu had begun to mobilize its power, preparing to subdue him—the surrounding forests lit up with a faint green luminescence, and the noisy voices of the trees turned tidal, intending to enclose him within.

Although it was only a Great Demon Spirit, its power was significantly stronger than that of Snow Climbing Tooth, arguably dozens of times that of an ordinary Martial Meridian, yet still it had not touched the scope of the Divine Repository.

Such is the nature of plant demon spirits, difficult to move, but far superior in power reserves compared to their peers.

Countless grass and wood luminance converged into a Formation, about to suppress him any moment, but An Jing wasn’t worried. Instead, he took out a letter from his bosom, "However, I have here a letter from Town King His Highness, instructing me to manage the vicinity of Broken Blade Mountain—do you want to take a look?"

The moment An Jing produced the letter from the Virtuous King, Weng Cuiyu ceased its power mobilization—it could clearly sense the Town King’s Dragon Qi on the letter, and the content An Jing showed it, though not explicitly stating the claims An Jing had made, made it evident, even to the demon spirit, that His Highness the Virtuous King held An Jing in high regard. Although currently only acting as a temporary City Lord, the future would definitely not be as such!

[Then I believe you. It is our divine mandate to exterminate demons.]

The sealing Great Formation, originally about to press down upon An Jing’s head, dissipated, and all power was retracted; Weng Cuiyu was quite straightforward in this regard: [May I ask what plans does Lord An have, and do you need my cooperation?]

—Sorry, Your Highness the Virtuous King, I didn’t expect the letter you sent to be of actual use!

An Jing sighed. He did have other ways to win Weng Cuiyu’s trust, like stirring up the Demon Shedding in the Primordial Spirit Cave again, or maybe hide in Tianyuan Realm for a day... but that would delay things by two or three days, which was too slow. It was better to try and see if using the Town King’s name could expedite things.

Unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good!

"I have already exterminated one Demon Shedding, and I can deal with the other two myself. The only troublesome one is the Half-Dragon Demon Shedding, which requires a fire-attributed Sharpness blade to slay."

An Jing explained his plan to Weng Cuiyu: "Wood fuels fire, I have the relevant fire-attributed Divine Skill, but I lack the support of wood Qi. I need you to provide Spirit Qi assistance at the crucial moment so we can strike and kill that Demon Shedding."

[I don’t mind, using a bit more wood Qi will make it easier for me to hibernate.]

Weng Cuiyu mused: [But my power cannot extend to the vicinity of Broken Blade Peak, that’s the General’s private territory... If you want my support, you must come down the mountain.]

"Is that so?"

An Jing frowned slightly. He had considered this because clearly, the Blessed Land where the Spirit Field was located was not in the same ecosystem as the surrounding Broken Blade Forests... but it was good that Weng Cuiyu was willing to help. At worst, he’d use the Dragon Storing Bottle to draw a great amount of wood Qi and unleash it when needed.

"Then you prepare, I’ll take action shortly."

[No problem.]

An Jing instructed, and Weng Cuiyu promptly agreed—it was a tree, and it couldn’t just up and run; any demons appearing on Broken Blade Mountain would certainly affect it adversely.

Then, An Jing turned to ascend the mountain, to check on the situation with the Immaculate Wood.

The situation wasn’t good.

The Xi Yin Drone returned silently to the Primordial Spirit Cave, communicating with the Immaculate Wood. Though there was a response, there were no clear thoughts.

The Immaculate Wood did not possess noticeable intelligence and, like the Demon Shedding, almost acted purely on instinct—according to Subdue Evil, the Immaculate Wood came into existence not long ago, very probably the same time the Broken Blade Mountain’s seal went wrong.

As the seal fractured and Demonic Qi leaked, the seal itself grew stronger, expressed in the form of this Primordial Spirit Immaculate Wood.

Without the support of the Immaculate Wood, Broken Blade General Shuo Yueying would have been corrupted by the Demonic Qi long ago, without any chance to use the Immaculate Wood to attempt Manifesting Holy, to shed its skin and rid itself of Demonic Qi. The seal and the source of the Demonic Qi pulled against each other, allowing that Shuo Yueying to escape with its life.

Now, with Shuo Yueying gone, the Demon Shedding aimed to destroy both the Immaculate Wood and the seal behind it. The Immaculate Wood, although wanting to retaliate, had spent much of its strength nurturing Shuo Yueying’s Demon Core and now had no way to deal with these Demon Sheddings, merely managing to hold them back.

If it were ordinary people, they would probably have collapsed already, but the Immaculate Wood could persist due to its lack of intelligence—however, this also made communication difficult, only able to convey vague sensations.

"Hey? Do you understand what I’m saying?" (Indifferent feeling)

"I’m going to exterminate the Demon Shedding, can you give me a hand later?" (Doubtful feeling)

Displaying Soldier Thunder outside the Primordial Spirit Cave: "This is me, I’ve already exterminated one Demon Shedding, and now I’ll continue to hunt these Demon Sheddings. Can you strike back harder later on, so they are more severely injured?" (Soothing feeling)
