Chapter 687: Chapter 530: I Can Still Be a Demon Catcher Without the Sect Master’s Robe

It was just that they were now unable to even take care of their own precious territory, let alone empathize with the plight of a demon.

"That is indeed not the case. If an elder on par with the Unity Realm Stage were to enter the tomb, Yue Hua, they would inevitably divert a considerable amount of Yue Hua, affecting the lady’s demon body... Those of us guarding inside the tomb are all old beings without hope of breakthrough,"

the tomb-guarding White Tiger said, suddenly shifting tone, "However, the lady has powerful treasures protecting her body, impenetrable by cultivators below the Unity Realm Stage. Moreover, when we old folks join forces and also utilize the Great Tomb Formation, even a true Unity Realm Stage cultivator arriving would be restrained for some time, enough to hold out until the clan leader and the other two elders come to aid."

Yu Lan listened, and suddenly her heart missed a beat.

Among those present, she had followed the master the longest and knew the master well...

"Lead the way."

Indeed, the next moment Yu Lan heard that familiar voice.

A hint of helplessness could not help but show on her charming face.

She had thought herself mad enough trying to seek the aid of the Southern Dragon Palace to slay Su Hongxiu before fleeing the Heavenly Sword Sect, but compared to her master, she was truly trivial.

Once the other party felt threatened, say by the strength of the Dragon Consort, they would truly seek out even the slightest chance to improve themselves.

However, Yu Lan still didn’t quite understand—if the tomb formation truly possessed the ability to restrain those at the Unity Realm Stage, it would be overwhelmingly oppressive for those below that level.

For herself and a few others to rashly break in was simply tantamount to seeking death.

How did her master plan to cope?

Compared to her, the tomb-guarding White Tiger, perhaps due to previous incidents, seemed to have an inexplicable fear of Shen Yi and didn’t advise otherwise but honestly led the way forward.

Shen Yi, without offering any explanation, walked on his sword and took out two scrolls of beast skin from his finger ring.

These were items left behind after two tomb-guarding Tiger Demons had been absorbed by the Town Stone. He had thought they were some secret Cultivation Techniques and, being in a rush to retreat, hadn’t had the time to look closely. It was only after hearing the other’s explanation that he realized these were actually parts of a Formation Map.

The Formation Maps held by the two demons were entirely different and seemed unrelated at a glance.

From this detail, it could be seen just how cautious that Frost Tiger clan leader was about this matter, even guarding against internal traitors.

However... this was actually a good thing for himself.

Shen Yi’s gaze slowly swept over the beast skin scrolls, and quickly, a new line of text appeared on the panel.

[Union Dao. Precious Moon Soul-Calming Great Array (Incomplete): Entry-Level]

All the tomb-guarding Tiger Demons held part of the formation, which meant that to activate it, communication was inevitable.

And tracking down demons and performing ambushes were all within his old expertise.

As for formations, he also had some understanding.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi closed his eyes, and the remaining Demon Lifespan Years headed straight into the formation.

...

Western Hong, Precious Moon Great Tomb.

To find a vast and spiritually rich land in Western Hong, which was dominated by water, and to construct a magnificent Great Tomb where Moon Essence was most concentrated, not only required formidable strength but also a great deal of effort.

Clearly, the Frost Tiger Clan possessed such capabilities.

As the top Demon Force in Western Hong, and by generously deploying strong members from their clan, a total of eighteen tomb-guarding Tiger Demons, the lowest among them was not something that the Cultivators of the Three Cities Realm could contend with.

Undoubtedly, although the Demon Race did not need to transcend tribulations, reaching such a level required an immensely long time and a vast number of Heaven and Earth Treasures.

The number of such powerhouses, even if it exceeded that of the Immortal Sect, would not be tremendously different.

And with the South Hong Seven Sons having six Unity Realm Stage giants presiding, the disciples capable of establishing Three Cities under them totalled just about twenty or so, whether it were Daozi or Elders of Liu Xingshan’s caliber.

The horrifying dedication of the Tiger Demon clan, in turn, had secured this place as an absolute forbidden zone for all living beings.

"..."

The Town Stone Tiger Demon quieted down considerably upon approaching this magnificent Great Tomb.

It had intended to sneak back quietly first to investigate the specific circumstances.

However, just as it stepped into the tomb area, its figure slightly halted, and it cursed inwardly.

This luck was just too bad!

To retain a remnant soul in this world for a giant of the Unity Realm Stage might not be difficult, but stretching it to a prolonged ten thousand years not only required cherished items for soul sustenance and nourishment from the heavenly and earthly Moon Essence, but most importantly, it needed to conceal its fate.

The Precious Moon Soul-Calming Great Array took on this duty.

Yet as compensation, this group of formation-masters, the Great Demons, were enduring torment day and night, and after the remnant soul had consumed many treasures from the Dragon Palace, it had grown to an incredibly fearsome level, its resentment soaring. They were barely keeping sane.

Therefore, most of the time, this group of tomb-guarding Tiger Demons would not move recklessly, only hoping to endure enough time until their clan sent people to replace them.

"Really bored, just walking around. Grab the things and send them over quickly,"

another tomb-guarding Tiger Demon happened to pass by this place, its rippled fur looking as though it hadn’t been cleaned for hundreds of years, its murky eyes appearing somewhat dull.

It nodded lightly, a gesture of greeting, then turned to leave.
