There was a grotto in the valley, and outside the grotto stood two beautiful women wrapped in animal skins, revealing their firm thighs and flat bellies.
"Greetings, Protector Hongying!" The two alluring women bowed respectfully.
"How is Elder Ye Ji?" The bird demon Hong Ying looked into the depths of the cave.
"He is still unconscious. We have already sent someone to fetch Protector Aoki," the alluring woman on the left replied.
Hongying frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Who injured Elder Yeji?"
The alluring woman on the right replied, "Elder Ye Ji went to Nanfa Temple last night to gather intelligence and make final confirmations."
He returned severely injured, fell into a coma, and never woke up again.
The beautiful woman on the left added, "Elder Ye Ji's injury is very strange. There is a force within her body that is constantly eroding her life force and cannot be removed."
We don't know if she can hold on until tomorrow; we can only wait for Protector Aoki to arrive.
The bird demon called "Red Tassel" frowned, and suddenly, a high-pitched ape cry shook the surrounding area.
Looking in the direction of the sound, a white ape stood on the southern mountain peak, looking up and howling at the moon.
"Why is that annoying monkey here too?" Hongying spat in disgust, then quickly put on a smile.
Watching the monkey leap among the treetops, finally crashing into the valley with a "boom".
"Protector Yuan, we've been waiting for you!" Hongying said with a warm smile.
As one of the three protectors under Elder Ye Ji, he always valued harmony among his colleagues.
This white ape was the ape protector that Ye Ji Fu Xiang once took to Jianzhou to annoy Xue Ji Xiao Yue Nu.
Compared to its ugly appearance, the white ape has a pair of azure eyes, so clear that they seem to reflect everything in the world.
The white ape glanced at the smiling Hongying, its azure eyes seeming to see right through her, and spoke in a calm tone:
Your heart tells you: What bad luck, how come this annoying dead monkey is still alive?
Hongying's expression froze, and she awkwardly laughed twice, unsure how to respond, when suddenly the trees in the valley began to shake violently.
The dense forest swayed, like giants that had come back to life, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.
As the trees swayed, streaks of emerald light scattered across the sky, coalescing like a galaxy of fireflies.
Finally, it coalesced into the phantom of a towering tree.
The branches and leaves of this large tree extend outwards, layer upon layer, like a cloud canopy.
The entire valley was covered by its branches and leaves.
A beam of green light emanated from the phantom of the giant tree, condensing into an old man with green hair, a green beard, and green eyebrows, leaning on a cane made of vines.
"Guardian Aoki!" The ape, the red bird, and the two alluring women bowed in unison.
The old man, whose entire body glowed green, nodded slightly, his voice aged yet gentle: "Is Elder Ye Ji inside?"
Hongying hurriedly said, "We've been waiting for you. Elder Yeji encountered some accidents while investigating Nanfa Temple, and the situation is critical."
He immediately relayed what the two female demons had said.
An unyielding force. Protector Aoki's heart sank. He said, "Take me inside to take a look."
The female demon on the left gracefully bowed and said, "Guardians, please come in!"
The three guardians followed her into the cave. The passageway was spacious, with torches stuck in the stone walls. Every twenty steps, a beautiful woman stood in attendance.
As expected of the fox clan, each and every one of them is a top-tier beauty. Hongying admires the beautiful appearance of the female demons.
"As expected of the fox clan, every single one of them is a top-tier beauty," the white ape protector said in a deep voice.
Hongying's face stiffened, but she smiled and said, "Protector Yuan is indeed a man of character."
The white ape glanced at him: "I was speaking from your heart."
The three guardians entered the cave, where the ground was covered with animal skins and furnished with round tables, stools, screens, potted plants, and other items, resembling a human woman's boudoir.
The most striking feature is a large bed with hanging curtains, exquisitely crafted and carved with lifelike foxes.
The female demon standing by the bed immediately lifted the bed curtains and said anxiously, "Guardian Aoki, please take a look."
Protector Qingmu is a renowned physician in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, skilled in alchemy and herbal cultivation. When he devoted himself to the study of medicine, the sorcerer system had not yet emerged.
Ye Ji lay on the bed, her face deathly pale, her beautiful face devoid of color, already fast asleep.
Protector Aoki walked to the bedside, pulled the woman's snow-white wrist from her light fur coat, held it, and transferred emerald green energy to it.
A golden light shot out from Ye Ji's body, blasting the Green Wood Guardian away.
"Slay the traitor!" Protector Qingmu's expression was solemn.
"what?"
The bird demon Hongying's expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed in surprise.
He finally understood why it was "impossible to eradicate" and why it "continuously extinguished vitality".
As a new generation protector of the Demon Kingdom, he did not experience the great war between Buddha and demons back then, but he did participate in the Battle of Shanhai Pass twenty years ago.
The "Killing Thieves" position is the most offensive of the three Arhat positions, and is known as the most powerful killing method in Buddhism below the Bodhisattva level.
The most distinctive characteristic of the "Kill the Thief" position is that it's a fight to the death!
"Even I, the protector, am powerless to help."
Protector Aoki shook his head: "We can only ask the King to take action."
The power of the thief-slaying level cannot be cured by medicine; it requires the power of an equal level to counter it.
"She only has two days left to live. After that, the power of the 'Slaying Thieves' title will destroy her physical body and soul."
Just then, a murmur arose, and the beauty on the bed was awakened by the noise and slowly opened her eyes.
"Elder Ye Ji." Hong Ying and the others surrounded her.
Night Princess's gaze swept over the crowd, her voice flat yet tinged with weakness:
"You've arrived."
Elder Aoki nodded and said in a deep voice, "Elder Ye Ji, was the person who injured you the Arhat Du'e?"
Night Princess gently shook her head: "It's Asura."
Asuro?
The two new generation of protectors, White Ape and Red Tassel, exchanged a glance, seeing doubt in each other's eyes.
I've never heard of this name before.
Elder Qingmu, who had lived for countless years, suddenly changed his expression:
"Asura, the youngest son of the Asura King? Didn't he perish long ago?"
Night Princess was also confused and bewildered, unable to answer.
Chapter 426 Reunion with Ye Ji! Lina takes Xu Lingyin to Southern Xinjiang?
Hongying asked, "Guardian Qingmu, who is Asura?"
Elder Aoki's expression shifted, and after a while, he slowly said, "Asura is another name for Asura. It is a title that only the strongest warriors of the Asura race can possess."
"The previous Asura was the Asura King. After the Asura King was imprisoned at the bottom of Mount Aranda by the Buddha with the Demon-Sealing Nail and died, the youngest son of the Asura King became the new Asura."
"He witnessed the tragic deaths of his father and elder brother. In order to ensure the continuation of his clan, he took the lead in converting to Buddhism and eventually attained the Arhatship."
"He was extremely powerful and was hailed as the number one fighter in Buddhism, second only to the Bodhisattva."
"Asura was an extremely powerful warrior. After converting to Buddhism, he diligently practiced the Vajra Divine Skill and refined his Vajra Body. Later, after failing to cultivate the Vajra Dharma Form, he focused on the Zen Master system and attained the status of a bandit killer."
The Arhatship and Vajra Body—just from the description, the Red-Tasseled Protector could imagine how powerful and terrifying that Asura was.
The white ape protector asked, "He perished later?"
Elder Aoki nodded: "He was personally killed by our former king during the war between Buddha and demon."
At this point, the old man, who was entirely green, looked at Ye Ji and said, "Unexpectedly, he didn't die. This is much more troublesome than the Arhat Du'e. I'm afraid the king's plans will have to be abandoned."
Ye Ji looked at Hong Ying and asked, "Guardian Hong Ying, have you seen the Bear King? Did you ask him to come out of the mountains?"
Seeing everyone looking at her, Hongying shook her head with a wry smile: "The Bear King wants to sleep and doesn't want to travel far and wide. I couldn't persuade him, no, I didn't even dare to approach him."
Information that made matters worse.
Protector Aoki sighed, "The best course of action now is to find a way to remove the power from Elder Ye Ji's body; preserving her life is of utmost importance."
Ye Ji propped herself up and said, "Don't worry, I will contact the Empress."
Hongying, the Dharma Protector, and the others breathed a sigh of relief and left the cave.
Ye Ji lifted her light fur coat, pulled out a wooden box from under the bed, and took out a palm-sized bronze incense burner with a fox head and a black incense stick.
She rubbed the black incense sticks until they shone, then inserted them into the incense burner.
A wisp of smoke curled up, and Ye Ji took a deep breath, inhaling the smoke into her nose.
If Ye Ji had been captured by Li Chang'an before, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's consciousness would have already descended upon her.
However, for now, it can only be considered a communication signal, because the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's freedom is in Li Chang'an's hands.
