Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

A quarter of an hour later, the other two demon generals died one after another, and only the demon general Wu Xuan survived.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Yuan descended with his escape light and stored Ao Xuan's corpse into his inner space.

Seeing this, Chu Ming's eyes flashed with a hint of reluctance, but he did not ask for it.

If Chen Yuan hadn't intervened in time, he would have died at Ao Xuan's hands, the entire Qianwei City would have been burned to the ground, and the Yingqian tribe would not have escaped the calamity either.

No matter how much he coveted the essence and blood of this dragon, he couldn't compete with Chen Yuan.

The other cultivators from the Yingqian faction were astonished by the vastness of the space within Chen Yuan's Mustard Seed Ring, which could even accommodate the corpse of a dragon several tens of feet long.

After Chen Yuan collected Ao Xuan's body, he did not touch the other dead demon generals, which made everyone secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

They knew all too well that the ability to kill all the demon generals was entirely due to Chen Yuan's strength.

However, the sheer number of high-ranking demon generals, comparable to dragon beasts at the peak of the Cloud Soaring Realm, still made it difficult for everyone to part with them.

After the great battle ended, all the dragon people returned to normal.

Chu Ming approached Chen Yuan, clasped his hands in a bow, and said with a face full of gratitude, "Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist, for saving our lives and preventing Qianwei City from being burned down by Ao Xuan."

"The great kindness of our fellow Daoist is deeply appreciated by all of us in the Qianbu, and we will never forget it."

The crowd followed suit, bowing and expressing their gratitude. Their dark golden dragon eyes revealed awe, mixed with curiosity and doubt.

As elders of the Yingqian clan, they naturally knew the origins of the dragon people, who evolved from the human race.

However, this was the first time they had ever seen a human cultivator, and Chen Yuan was so powerful. In addition to their admiration, they couldn't help but feel a bit curious.

The changes in Chen Yuan's appearance during the battle, the various supernatural powers he displayed, and his powerful physical body were all very similar to those of the demon race, which puzzled them greatly.

Chen Yuan clasped his hands in return: "Fellow Daoists, you flatter me. Humans and dragons share the same origin. How could I, Chen, stand idly by when the Qian tribe suffers a great calamity?"

"This was not Chen's doing alone. The two of us encountered a group on the way and were slaughtered by the demon general."

"Fellow Daoist Wang then used his secret technique to track down the enemy, and just then he encountered the demon general besieging Ying Qian's troops, and that's when he made his move."

Chu Ming bowed to Wang Xuan Yue again. Before he could speak, Wang Xuan Yue said solemnly, "We originally intended to go elsewhere and kill the demon generals along the way. It was only because Fellow Daoist Chen suggested that I use a secret technique to track down the demon generals."

“Even my life was saved by Fellow Daoist Chen. In this battle, I was merely a bystander and dare not take credit.”

Chu Ming paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Both of you have done great favors for my Yingqian Department. This is not the place to talk. Please come with me into the city for a chat."

An elder from the Yingqian clan spoke up: "Clan leader, these demon corpses..."

Everyone lowered their heads. The Beichen Mountain Range had been smashed beyond recognition by the corpses of the demonic beasts, causing the dragon energy to surge wildly.

Several mountain peaks collapsed completely, leaving behind a scene of utter devastation, comparable to Qianwei City after being battered by a meteor shower.

These high-ranking demon generals possess extraordinary bloodlines, formidable physical bodies, and remarkable innate supernatural powers.

At the moment of his death, he was surrounded by golden fire, wind, and thunder, which could easily destroy most of the Beichen Mountain Range.

The more dilapidated the Beichen Mountains were, the more precious the demonic materials on these demon generals became, making all the elders of the Yingqian clan drool with envy.

Chu Ming hesitated for a moment, looked at Chen Yuan, and said sincerely, "We were able to win this battle entirely because of your help, fellow Daoist. Please accept these demon generals' corpses."

Chen Yuan shook his head slightly: "Fellow Daoist Chu is mistaken. When I fought with Ao Xuan, these demon generals scattered and fled."

"If it weren't for the efforts of all of you fellow Daoists, they would have already escaped."

“I, Chen, will only take the demon cores. As for the demon materials on these demon generals, they will belong to you fellow Daoists… Fellow Daoist Chu, do you know what demon cores are?” Upon hearing this, Chu Ming’s face lit up with joy, but then he hesitated: “How could I not know? Demon cores contain the essence and blood of demon beasts and are extremely precious.”

"But without Fellow Daoist Chen's deterrence, these demon generals would never have lost their fighting spirit."

"With my limited resources, I can only leave behind two or three people at most."

“Fellow Daoist has done me, Yingqian, a great favor. I have not yet repaid it, and now I am taking advantage of you. How can this be reasonable?”

"How about this: the demon core remains yours, and we each receive half of the demon materials. What do you think, fellow Daoist?"

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "These demon materials are of little use to me; I only need to take the demon cores."

"However, I have entered the Xuanli Realm for a different purpose. Could you please lend me a hand?"

Chu Ming's expression turned serious: "Fellow Daoist, is the True Dragon Cave you seek?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly.

Chen Yuan nodded: "That's right. To be honest, what the demon race is after is also the True Dragon Cave. They also want to break the great formation that covers the Xuanli Realm and lure the Demon Saint down."

"Fellow Daoist Wang and I originally intended to go to the Myriad Flames Mountains to prevent the demon race from getting there first and to wipe out the demon generals along the way. This was just something we did incidentally..."

He briefly recounted how the demon saints plotted to seize the True Dragon Cave, and everyone's expressions turned grim.

Chu Ming murmured, "When I saw these demon generals, I knew they had come for the True Dragon Cave, but I didn't expect there to be more than a hundred of them."

"The Xuanli Realm is still shrouded by a great array, with the Dragon Breath Platform as its base..."

He paused for a moment, then solemnly said, "This matter concerns the survival of the Dragon People, and I, Chu, dare not agree."

"We still need to wait for the Supreme Elder to return so that he can personally discuss this with you, fellow Daoist."

"However, I can guarantee that the Yingqian tribe will not stand idly by and allow the demon race to occupy the True Dragon Cave and lure the Demon Saint into the Xuanli Realm."

Chen Yuan laughed and said, "That's very good. I will take the demon core now, and the demon materials will be left to you fellow Daoists."

Chu Ming nodded slightly, then turned and instructed some of the elders of the Yingqian clan to stay behind to collect the demon materials, while the others returned to Qianwei City to extinguish the fire and rescue the dragon people in the city.

The group managed to calm down and obeyed the order to leave. Chen Yuan then descended in a beam of light and took the demon cores from the bodies of the eight demon generals.

From beginning to end, Chen Yuan ignored Wu Xuan Yao Shuai.

When Wu Xuan, the Demon Commander, heard Chen Yuan's words, he remained calm, seemingly unconcerned that the demon race's schemes had been completely exposed to the dragon people, nor worried about his own life.

Before long, Chen Yuan collected all the demon cores. Several elders of the Yingqian clan used their dragon transformation techniques to move the demon beast corpses, especially the three dragon corpses, which they handled with great care.

The Dragon People are based on Dragon Qi, and these three Flood Dragons contain Flood Dragon blood, which is even more precious than Dragon Qi. They are extremely valuable spiritual materials.

For dragon people, their flesh and blood are equivalent to the best cultivation pills.

Chen Yuan flew into the sky and came to the front of Wu Xuan Demon General. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly stopped and turned to look into the distance.

Seeing this, Wu Xuan Yao Shuai followed his gaze and looked over, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

A moment later, a streak of light appeared from the horizon, bursting through the atmosphere with a roar, radiating a powerful pressure, and heading straight for the Beichen Mountains.

Everyone noticed and looked up. Chu Ming's face lit up with joy: "The Supreme Elder is back!" (End of Chapter)
