136: Heavenly Demon Cave

Dongfeng Town.

Jiang Chen had been away for almost half a month, considering he went directly from the Lei Family Fortress operation to the Qingyun Mountain Range.

But the gains during this period could be said to be quite abundant.

Even his own Spiritual Qi Cultivation had risen to the third level of the Earth Martial Realm.

So, young people still need to go out and explore more.

"A mere Earth-Rank Demon Cave has given me so many gains. If I could suppress the other Demon Caves, that would be truly comfortable."

Jiang Chen thought to himself.

Within the Great Lan Dynasty, Demon Caves frequently appeared.

Of course, the formation of a Demon Cave, even a Yellow-Grade Demon Cave, was considered to have some scale.

Under normal circumstances, they were usually some secretly formed passage crack (rifts).

The appearance of these passage rifts allowed some demons to escape.

And the daily work of the Demon Slayer Guards was to clear out these demons.

Besides these demons escaping from the Demon Realm, there were also many people within the Great Lan Dynasty who became demons by Cultivating demonic arts, similar to the Ding Family of Dongfeng Town.

After Cultivating demonic arts in earlier years, they gained powerful strength, but their descendants also became demons.

For these people, being a demon didn't seem so bad.

As long as they possessed powerful strength, that was enough.

This Earth-Rank Demon Cave was just the most recent, relatively sudden major incident, and it only occurred within Cangzhou City.

The entire Great Lan Dynasty had no less than a hundred cities similar to Cangzhou City.

Jiang Chen first went to the Town Office and found Wang Fusheng.

He returned the Deputy Commander Demon Suppressing Envoy token that belonged to Wang Fusheng. It was thanks to this token that Jiang Chen was able to quickly get in touch with the core; otherwise, even if he arrived at the front line to assist, he might not have been allowed to rush to the very front.

"By the way, Lord Wang, I also encountered Lord Huang Luwei over there."

"Oh, Old Huang. I greeted him. He used to be under me."

"How is he now?"

Wang Fusheng poured Jiang Chen a cup of tea.

Jiang Chen took it with both hands.

"He's fine, it's just that he was stabbed in the back."

Wang Fusheng's hand, holding the teacup, trembled.

"Alright... it's good that he's fine."

"By the way, Lord Wang, what was that thing you said you were looking for earlier?"

Jiang Chen asked.

To be honest, Wang Fusheng had taken good care of him all this time.

When he previously killed the Blood Hawk Demon King, Jiang Chen used precisely the Soul Extinguishing Great Handprint.

It was also Wang Fusheng's unique skill.

If he could help in advance, Jiang Chen wouldn't hesitate.

He would definitely lend a hand.

"Hehe, I'm ashamed to say, it's just my old Wang being thick-skinned."

"But since you asked, I, Old Wang, won't be polite with you."

"Actually, within the Great Lan Dynasty, there are two sealed Heavenly-Grade Demon Caves."

"The Heavenly-Grade Demon Caves will riot every so often, requiring deep penetration to clear them out."

"I was injured in my Divine Soul during one such clearing operation."

"I need to find a demonic medicine called Heavenly Prison Demonic Grass."

"But guarding this demonic medicine is a demon skilled in Divine Soul attacks."

"If one doesn't reach the strength of a Demon Suppressing Envoy Deputy Commander, it's difficult to kill it."

Wang Fusheng said in a deep voice, his eyes seeming to recall past events.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, understanding.

An Earth-Rank Demon Cave required at least several Earth Martial Realm experts, plus many Spirit Martial Realm experts, to suppress.

A Heavenly-Grade Demon Cave, however, required even more masters; at least a dozen Heavenly Martial Realm experts, and perhaps even Martial King Realm experts, would need to act.

Jiang Chen just hadn't expected that there were actually two sealed Heavenly-Grade Demon Caves within the Great Lan Dynasty.

This was equivalent to two super powerful bombs that could explode at any time.

The stable existence of these Heavenly-Grade Demon Caves, for Jiang Chen, was actually an excellent place to gain enemy-killing points!

"Heavenly-Grade Demon Caves are not as simple as imagined. Currently, what we do is only superficial clearing; deeper levels are inaccessible."

"However, within the Heavenly-Grade Demon Cave, there are many places where Heaven And Earth Treasures that cannot be obtained in the Great Lan Dynasty are born."

Wang Fusheng pondered for a moment, then took out a parchment map.

He handed it to Jiang Chen.

"This map was drawn by my own hand. It marks the locations of many seventh-grade Spirit Medicines and Spirit Materials, and of course, it also marks the location of the Heavenly Prison Demonic Grass that I need. If you have a chance to go in later, please help me look for it along the way."

Jiang Chen's eyes widened in surprise.

A map marking seventh-grade Spirit Medicines and Spirit Materials.

This was a true treasure map.

It was conceivable that drawing a map within a Demon Cave was not a simple task.

Wang Fusheng was actually willing to give him such a precious map.

"Consider it an investment."

"But don't underestimate those demons."

"You should have encountered it this time; in that kind of environment, the strength of demons will greatly increase. Not to mention in a Heavenly-Grade Demon Cave, an Earth Martial Realm demon requires at least five or more masters of the same Realm to suppress."

Jiang Chen accepted the map and also listened to Wang Fusheng's advice.

The main reason for accepting the map was still to help find the Heavenly Prison Demonic Grass at that time.

"Understood."

Jiang Chen nodded.

Leaving the yamen, Jiang Chen eagerly returned to Purple Bamboo Manor.

The familiar Nine Yang Gathering Spiritual Array, under its coverage, had a Spiritual Qi density several times that of the outside world.

Plus the defense of a fifth-grade array.

His recent Cultivation Breakthrough must have also brought improvements to Cheng Yurou and the others.

He just didn't know what Realms they had reached.

At least in this small Dongfeng Town, there should be no threat to them.

"Creak."

Jiang Chen pushed open the main door.

He saw the four girls actually all practicing in the courtyard.

Cheng Yurou was sitting in meditation, Cultivating her Mind-Cultivation Technique.

Xia Si柠 and Yang Shishi, on the other hand, were jointly sparring with Xia Sixuan.

But clearly, Xia Sixuan's martial arts talent was superior to both of them; even with the two of them working together, they couldn't suppress her.

The moment the four girls saw Jiang Chen return, they were instantly overjoyed.

"Xiao Chen!?"

"Young Master is back!"

The girls immediately went up and surrounded Jiang Chen.

"You're not hurt, are you?"

"Did you eat well? Why do you seem a bit thinner?"

Cheng Yurou asked with concern.

Jiang Chen felt the girls' concern, and a warmth spread through his heart.

He immediately embraced Cheng Yurou's waist without hesitation.

"Rou'er is still so fragrant."

Jiang Chen brought his nose close, and Cheng Yurou blushed shyly.

"No way..."

"Shishi and the others smell even better."

The sensible Xia Si柠 had already taken Xia Sixuan to prepare hot water for Jiang Chen.

"While I wasn't home recently, what gains have you all made? Let me see?"

Jiang Chen said, with a feeling of checking homework.

Afterward, Cheng Yurou also told Jiang Chen about her gains these past few days.

Under the guidance of the Cultivation Technique.

Cheng Yurou's Cultivation was the first to Breakthrough to the Xiantian Realm.

The others had also already reached the Late Stage of the Houtian Realm.

"Looks like no one was slacking off."

Jiang Chen nodded.

At this moment, Cheng Yurou leaned close to Jiang Chen's ear and whispered.

"Shishi made us some clothes... we'll go put them on for you to see."
