Chapter 2238 - 2238 2228 Assistance from the Fire Qilin

2238: Chapter 2228: Assistance from the Fire Qilin 2238: Chapter 2228: Assistance from the Fire Qilin Long Yan’s statement left everyone present stunned.

What Long Yan said seemed easy, but among those present, the highest cultivation base was just the Elder in the middle, possessing the cultivation of a Pseudo-God Emperor.

The others were merely at the level of a Half-Step Divine Emperor.

Though the Fire Demon Beast had just awakened, it had at least the cultivation of a Divine Emperor.

What could they use to fight?

Except for the Elder and Long Yan, none present would be an opponent for the Fire Demon Beast.

“It sounds good when you say it, but let me ask you, can you exchange blows with the Fire Demon Beast?”

A Half-Step Divine Emperor Strong One next to the elder spoke up, his tone full of irony, clearly aggravated by Long Yan’s attitude.

“So where can you all retreat to?”

Long Yan’s back leaned against the bench, stretching out his body, and spoke in a casual tone.

Just as the Demon King was about to retort, Long Yan continued speaking.

“I know, in the world, a place the Fire Demon Beast cannot find.

When the Fire Demon Beast is about to destroy the entire inner world, just escape into the Real World, but!”

Long Yan’s tone paused for a moment, then swept his gaze across everyone sitting, the chill in his voice discernible to all.

“How long will you hide away like this?

This world is protected by Monk Xuanzang, who has given you Demon Race a place to live—yet you easily choose to retreat?”

Before anyone could speak again, Long Yan continued, not giving the Demon King any face at all.

“Moreover, you all know what lies outside.

The Demon Suppressing Tower that can detain the Fire Demon Beast can also detain everyone sitting here.

A battle is inevitable—do you choose to quickly resolve it while the Fire Demon Beast is still groggy, or wait until it fully restores its strength and gets overwhelmed?

I believe you all have an idea in your hearts.”

These words made the Demon King flush with anger.

The Demon Suppressing Tower is sustained by the Ancient Divine Artifact, Demon Suppressing Sword.

Even a powerful creature like the Fire Demon Beast couldn’t possibly escape.

Even if they fled into the Demon-Sealed Tower, they would eventually encounter the Fire Demon Beast.

When the time comes, the battle would likely be one-sided.

“But young man, there is a passage that leads outside.

Who’s to say the Fire Demon Beast won’t escape to the outside world?”

The elderly man spoke slowly, causing Long Yan’s heart to startle.

It seemed that the passage the elderly man spoke of leading to the outside world was the same cave that allowed the Corpse King to retreat in the Corpse Cave.

“You all are Strong Ones.

Would you choose to rest all hopes on that slim chance?”

Long Yan’s words struck right at the heart of everyone present.

Who could guarantee that the Fire Demon Beast would definitely find that passage?

With the intelligence of the Fire Demon Beast, ripping apart Space directly was not impossible.

If that were the case, everyone would be at a dead end.

“Let’s go.”

Long Yan turned around, donned his wide robe, and left the decision for the rest to make.

They were no fools; they knew how to make the safest choice.

Bai Mu and Jingzhe both followed Long Yan like little followers, only the City Lord of Heavenly Demon City remained seated in his chair, wanting to please the Demon Kings in front of him, perhaps the position of Demon King could belong to him.

The other two were Long Yan’s people; of course they needed to follow Long Yan.

As for the City Lord of Heavenly Demon City, Long Yan wouldn’t care.

Qing Luo was killed by him, and the likeliest outcome was for those Strong Ones to show no concern for the succession of the new Demon King, leaving it to Long Yan—after all, Long Yan couldn’t possibly become the Demon King himself.

“Is that it?”

Bai Mu was somewhat puzzled, having thought that Long Yan would have a forceful argument with those Elders.

After being the City Lord of Chu Official City for many years, he had his own set of methods for dealing with demons.

From the moment he entered the house, he knew that almost all the Demon Kings didn’t want to confront the Fire Demon Beast.

After all, that breath is naturally effective against the demon race like it is against monsters, but Long Yan doing this seems like giving up on support, planning to rely only on the three of them to battle the Fire Demon Beast.

That would be absurd.

“They will make their choice, of course, we still need to make preparations on all fronts.”

Long Yan’s eyes carried a hint of amusement.

Judging from the fact that they didn’t try to stop Long Yan on his departure, they must have managed to secure the reinforcements, but they still needed to take out an insurance policy.

After all, the demon race isn’t the only thing that exists in this world; there’s also the presence of the Fire Qilin, Zhiyan, and her offspring on the mountaintop.

Although Zhiyan and her son have moved location, Long Yan was still able to sense their presence with his strong perception.

Looking at Zhiyan in front of him, Long Yan explained his purpose for coming.

Since Zhiyan knew him, she didn’t adopt a defensive stance.

After carefully listening to Long Yan’s words, Zhiyan exhaled two streams of white air from her large nostrils.

She, of course, had sensed the Fire Demon Beast’s presence; sacred beasts and demon beasts are natural enemies.

“But there is one problem.”

Zhiyan’s expression showed some concern.

She was unable to exert all her strength at the moment, including the time when she battled with Long Yan, it was not her true strength.

Long Yan had heard that when sacred beasts reproduce, their own power would decline to the lowest point.

Looking at the Baby Fire Qilin, which seemed to be born just about a year ago, the Immortal Zhiyan was still in that state.

Because Zhiyan saw Long Yan as a trustworthy person, she had no reservations about speaking out.

“This is going to be difficult.”

The opponent would be the Fire Demon Beast, a chaotic and violent force.

If the Fire Qilin can’t exert its power, it would be a significant loss for the expedition team.

“Right, see if this thing works for you.”

Long Yan suddenly remembered the Qilin blood he had won from the Chu Official City shopkeeper.

Zhiyan’s problem was also energy depletion; the Qilin blood contained an extremely pure force, which Zhiyan should be able to absorb.

“This…”

Zhiyan looked at Long Yan in surprise.

Just by looking from a distance, Zhiyan knew the Qilin blood in Long Yan’s hands was genuine, and that intense sensation couldn’t be faked by any other substance.

But the pure power contained in it was something not just anyone could absorb; it was too precious.

“Of course, these might still not be enough for you to recover to your peak condition.”

Long Yan’s tone carried a tinge of regret.

If it was Zhiyan in her peak condition, capturing a still weakened Fire Demon Beast would be an effortless task, but for now, they had to increase their combat power by every little bit they could.

“Alright, thank you.”

The proud Zhiyan lowered her noble head, expressing her gratitude to Long Yan, and promised that if the Fire Demon Beast were to appear, she would do her utmost to help.

“Actually, there is another way that might be able to kill the Fire Demon Beast.”

Truly a God-Beast, Zhiyan’s knowledge was much broader than that of other Demon Kings.

Of course, the Fire Demon Beast was not invincible.

Qing Luo had forcibly awakened the Fire Demon Beast and lifted its seal using the Blood Demon Technique.

There are more ancient divine artifacts in the Demon-Sealed Tower than just the Emperor Qin Mirror.
