Chapter 717: 540

As his voice faded, the Sect Master had already quietly disappeared from the spot.

The Dragon Consort of Mount Yu gazed vacantly as she withdrew her hand, and then looked angrily at the guard, "..."

"Dragon Consort... I will definitely give you a response as soon as possible," the guard’s body shook with a start, its formidable strength felt suffocated under that gaze.

Having followed the Dragon Consort for so many years, it had never seen her lose composure like this.

It was apparent the Dragon Consort was truly angry this time!

"The sooner the better."

After all, she was daring enough to scheme the entire Western Dragon Palace, and in the absence of Ji Jingxi, Zi Xian quickly regained control over her emotions. She could not accept losing face before the Pure Moon Sect Master, not even once.

If she were to find out who exactly ruined her plans...

Zi Xian clenched her teeth tightly, her eyes revealing a chilling intent to kill.

"Sister-in-law, when can I finally leave?" a drunken shout came from outside the door.

"You can get lost now."

Along with the indifferent words, a robust aura swept out, directly sweeping Qi Laoqi, who was sitting on the floor, off Mount Yu.

"You!"

Qi Laoqi stumbled in mid-air to steady himself, looking up in disbelief... how dare this woman treat him like this?!

But his expression quickly changed.

Although caught off guard, her strength was impressive; indeed, worthy of someone from the East Dragon Palace. He needed to report this to his elder brother to avoid capsizing later.

"Dragon Consort..." the Black-backed Jiao guard kneeled, drenched with sweat.

"I know."

Zi Xian closed her eyes, once again suppressing the fluctuations in her emotions.

Recalling Ji Jingxi’s previous words and the added smile on her face, she thought she knew enough about Shen Yi, the Sect Master. It turned out she still underestimated him.

Well, such matters were after all a contest of abilities.

At least in the domain of Western Hong, in this whole affair, she could do too much. As for that young man, he probably still needed her protection.

The difference in strength was clear.

After all, Jingxi wasn’t blind, so why bother with unnecessary troubles.

...

In the vast expanse of water and land,

Shen Yi was sitting cross-legged, and before him, Ke Shisan’s consciousness gradually began to recover.

Seeing the light finally return to his eyes,

Shen Yi then stopped the accumulation of Demon Origin.

A total of twenty-seven Demon Origins finally raised his Demon Soul to the Spirit level.

[Remaining Demon Lifespan: Twenty million two hundred thousand years]

Beyond preparing for subsequent advancements, he also used the time it took for the other to digest the origin to allow for some rest.

Indeed... compared to the torture of strategic planning, the origin used to punish the Demon Soul, typically spanning hundreds of thousands of years, causing numerous demons to howl in agony, was somehow already considered healing for Ke Shisan.

"Still comfortable?"

Shen Yi glimpsed over, feeling a twinge of pain.

"Xuan Jian thanks my lord for the gracious reward..." the aged Golden Dragon uttered in a hoarse voice, its eyes brimming with gratitude.

The master’s stingy nature rarely allowed him to bear such a great cost, merely to help another regain their sanity—this was an exceedingly rare favor indeed.

"Then let’s begin."

Shen Yi extracted more than twenty demon corpses from the finger ring; this mixed-blooded group relied solely on Heaven and Earth Treasures and their long lifespans to achieve their current boundary.

Creating a Town Stone specifically for them made little difference; after all, ordinary White Jade Capital Great Demons could scarcely be of any help to Shen Yi now.

Extracting the Dragon Race bloodline from them, though seemingly wasteful, was an essential task to undertake.

Shen Yi’s ability to do as he pleased in Western Hong relied on the local powers’ unfamiliarity with him.

The Mount Yu Dragon Consort might know, but that was tolerable since he couldn’t overpower the Western Dragon Palace for the time being... Yet a Wanxiang Pavilion also knew too much, even attempting to peddle the news everywhere, and if he didn’t take control of it, Shen truly wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.

With this thought, he suddenly waved his hand.

Among the myriad demon corpses, a river of Jin Guang abruptly surged forth, pooling together and fiercely slamming into Ke Shisan’s body.

After enduring a life-threatening ordeal and expending close to five hundred thousand Lifespan Years, Ke Shisan’s demon body had already reached its limit in growth, lacking only in boundary.

At this moment, these pure Dragon Race bloodlines were the best Treasure Pills and tonics for it!

Crack! Crack!

Scales on the stone-like body cracked and shattered, revealing ever more golden scales underneath; Ke Shisan no longer looked worn and ancient but instead appeared as if cast from gold, with its long twisted beard fluttering in the air.

Its antler-like horns on the head grew increasingly reminiscent of a magnificent crown, adding immeasurable dignity to its presence.

"Roar—"

Accompanied by a deep Dragon Roar, An Yi finally stopped daydreaming and slowly lifted her head.

The East Hall Master and the West Hall Master had an unusual eye-to-eye moment.

Challenging a Unity Realm Stage Great Demon Town Stone was proof of the significant leap in strength that this golden dragon had achieved.

Unfortunately, Ke Shisan still slightly lowered its head in the end.

Although it had earned the right to meet their gaze,

the demon it had just ingested was still not as powerful as those Tomb-Guarding Tiger Demons, and what it had consumed was only a portion of those demons’ Dragon Race bloodline, incomplete as it was.

"You go on daydreaming."

Shen Yi gently tapped the back of An Yi’s head, preserving some dignity for his own East Hall Master.

After all, there were only so many of the Frost Tiger Clan, and behind Ke Shisan, there were four whole Dragon Palaces to nurture and support it—its future achievements were most likely the highest among the four Hall Masters.

"..." Ke Shisan looked at Shen Yi, somewhat moved; indeed, the master had noticed all the hardships and sacrifices it had endured over the days.

"Alright, it’s about time to send them off."

Shen Yi stood up and took out a Golden Scroll from his chest, a path token previously borrowed from those two Daozi.

Now that he had the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, he could no longer keep it merely in the sea of his consciousness.

Since both carried the word ’ten-thousand’,

he might as well make this Wanxiang Pavilion the first residence for these Hall Masters in Southern Hong.
