Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

```

[In the 7400th year, the Mountain Lord swallowed one hundred and thirteen drops of Demon Blood, before which, neither the Howling Moon Wolf Demon nor the newly broken through Immortal Flood Dragon could withstand its formidable aura, and had to prostrate themselves, your Mountain Lord Divine Ability has been enhanced]

[Remaining lifespan of the demons: Eighty-seven thousand two hundred years]

"..."

Shen Yi watched as the deduction ended, feeling a burning sensation all over his body as if he were on fire, but the improvement was extremely evident.

Even Lady Qinghua had only condensed a little over eighty drops of Demon Blood.

This Mountain Lord had only just broken through to the fledgling Embrace Pill Realm, and now it had undergone a qualitative leap.

This was the characteristic of the Demon's Body Refining Martial Arts.

Crude as the method was, it was straightforward with a clear price tag, what you pay for is what you get.

When the Mountain Lord's patterns receded into its skin.

Shen Yi got dressed, stood up, summoned the red clouds, and then took the breath he had conveniently collected from Yang Qianxiang earlier out of the small bell.

Following the guidance of the breath, he disappeared on the cloud.

...

At the edge of Song State.

A group of people stood outside the county town waiting, except for the gaunt Yang Qianxiang, the rest were all wearing profound armor with red capes.

Such a grand show of force, all to await a single person.

No one knew how much time had passed.

A short man in black shorts ran frantically from the outside, not sparing his breath, and when he saw so many familiar figures, his face changed slightly, "Summoning me back so suddenly, do you all know?"

As the only remaining Golden Bell Demon Catcher in Song State.

The short man clenched his teeth at that moment, his eyes filled with barely concealed fear, "I tried my best, delivering Precious Medicines to it, but its time is running out, and it was seriously injured by the Crimson Eye Demon King, beyond salvation, with but a half breath left."

The White Rhinoceros Demon King was still a threat to the Crimson Eye Demon King as long as it was alive.

But as soon as the news of its death got out, one could almost foresee the catastrophic demise of Song State.

"I know," Yang Qianxiang nodded his head.

"You know?" the short man's eyes widened, he had not expected such a response after they had painstakingly built up their position over a hundred years, which was now on the brink of collapse.

And the General was reacting like this?!

"Don't despair like this, think of something else... There's always a way," the short man walked back and forth anxiously, and then Zhang Xuan grabbed him.

"It's already taken care of."

Zhang Xuan's expression was complex, he softly reassured his colleague.

The short man froze, "What do you mean?"

"The Inspector has personally come to purge the demons, there are no more demon calamities in Song State, and we have organized all our men to clear out the county towns, as of now, we have not found any demons," Zhang Xuan elaborated, though the words came from his mouth, his eyes were somewhat vacant as well.

"The Inspector... the Inspector..." the short man staggered back a few steps as if struck by lightning, he was, after all, an expert in the Embrace Pill Realm, and yet now he collapsed onto the ground.

The situation sounded like a story concocted by storytellers, where in moments of despair, a celestial being descended, subdued all the demons and villains, and then the sound of gongs and drums filled the air, accompanied by firecracker salutes...

This was a mythic tale to comfort the families, not something those in the Imperial Court should bank on.

Yet now it came from the mouth of his own colleague.

"Things will get better."

Zhang Xuan reached out to help the other man up, but was suddenly pushed away by the short man who then covered his face with his arm, sitting on the ground without making a sound, only the faint shivering of his body.

Everyone else remained silent.

"What are you all doing?"

A demon cloud descended from the sky, revealing a figure in dark robes.

Shen Yi walked into the crowd in confusion, "Is the news about the Demon King I asked for ready?"

"Reporting to Officer Shen... The news you wanted is on the ground crying," Yang Qianxiang coughed twice and pointed towards the man on the ground.

```

"..."

Shen Yi paced over, speaking softly, "Cry later, work first."

He now had no shortage of lifespan, but Demon Blood was in critical shortage.

The diminutive man froze on the ground, pulled away his arm, and glared hatefully at his colleagues... He quickly scrambled up from the ground, facing the young man in front of him, and, suppressing the disbelief in his heart, bowed with his fists, "I pay my respects to the Inspector."

"No need for formalities, take me to the remaining Demon King."

Shen Yi grabbed the back of his collar and summoned the Demon Cloud to leave the bounds of Song State.

To the demons, they themselves were Precious Medicines to one another.

If something else were to snatch away one's Demon Blood, that would indeed be a huge loss.

The small man floated in the air like a little chick, somewhat at a loss, he drew his legs in closer, and then reached out to show the way to Officer Shen.

...

At the peak surrounded by azure mountains and clear waters, under the concealment of dense forests,

a cramped cave was faintly discernible.

Even a Jade Liquid Boundary demon wouldn't deign to reside in such a squalid place.

The diminutive man stood at the entrance of the cave and sighed.

Only he knew that the true Demon King dwelt here.

He hurried inside.

There, a White Rhinoceros Demon lay powerlessly on a stone seat, its body only as tall as that of an ordinary person—indeed, even thinner than most ordinary people.

It draped a thick beast-skin coverlet over itself, closed its eyes as if dozing, while the corners of its mouth curved into a faint smile.

"Are you now openly sending offerings to this King?"

A dying Demon King was also at its most dangerous.

For even the slightest noise would provoke it to fight desperately at any cost. Even the Crimson Eye Demon King wouldn't provoke it at times like these.

"You've worked hard these years."

The small man kept his head down. Ironically, without this Demon King, Song State really couldn't have held out until today.

Having said that, he suddenly looked up, unperturbed, and pointed at the White Rhinoceros, "Officer, that's the one."

"Who?!"

The White Rhinoceros Demon King had not yet realized what was happening when suddenly it sensed a figure beside it.

The figure of a young man in dark blue clothing was seated on the stone seat, his right arm casually resting on the demon's shoulder. Then, all at once, he exerted force.

A cracking sound was heard.

The White Rhinoceros's head slumped down lifelessly.

"Alright, you can go back now," Shen Yi said with a slight nod.

"..."

The small man smacked his lips and obediently withdrew from the cave.

He never actually thought the White Rhinoceros Demon King stood a chance against the Inspector, but he didn't expect it to be over so swiftly either.

Good lord, like slaughtering a chicken.

"What a waste."

Shen Yi glanced at the panel.

[Slain Primordial Realm White Rhinoceros Demon King, total lifespan thirteen thousand eight hundred years, remaining lifespan three years, absorption complete]

He opened his mouth, turning the entire flesh body into Demon Blood.

Fifty-nine drops.

It was actually far more formidable than the Crimson Eye Demon King. It seemed that the All-Encompassing Divine Cultivation Method really was quite powerful, allowing the Black Bear to overcome the weaker with strength and thoroughly thrash its senior.

Since it didn't take much effort anyway, he might as well consider it a windfall.

Shen Yi stood up, putting the long-handled broadsword that had been lying beside the stone seat into his Storage Treasure, and having confirmed that the Demon King was so impoverished it had nothing left but its weapon and a torn beast blanket, he slowly walked out of the cave.
