The female master saw his expression change drastically and, without saying a word, released a red warning firework. The disciples were surprised, as this was a warning firework representing a seventh-rank or higher demon beast. Could the man in front of them be...?
Although Ajahn was also surprised by the scene, her face was contorted as if she were looking at something unbelievable.
"You little rascal, why do you have such an expression when you see me?"
He arrived near Ah Jiang in an instant, looking at her with a half-smile.
This distance allowed A-Jiang to see his delicate eyebrows and handsome face more clearly, but his flowing green hair was even more eye-catching.
Seeing that Ah Jiang didn't speak, but instead looked at his hair with a troubled expression, the demon cultivator found it quite amusing.
He said, "Could it be that you envy my green hair? Hehe, you certainly have good taste. I have carefully nurtured it for hundreds of years to make it look like this now."
Ah Jiang twitched his lips but didn't say anything, while the other person just stroked their hair nearby, and then the scene fell silent.
"King Aoki, it's been a long time."
At that moment, a man's voice suddenly rang out. Ah Jiang looked up and saw several more white figures standing in the air, facing the wind.
"Oh, it's the same old guys again."
The green-haired man said with a smile, seemingly unconcerned about the several Core Formation stage cultivators.
When A-Jiang and the other ordinary disciples saw their sect's grandmasters, they quickly kowtowed. One of the grandmasters waved his hand, and A-Jiang and the others stood behind their grandmasters, keeping their distance from the demon king.
The leading grandmaster frowned and said, "They're just kids. At your level, there's no need to cause them trouble."
"Hmph, you haven't spared any of the little ones from my clan either."
The Demon King Qingmu said this, but it was hard to tell how much he cared about the younger generation of the demon race.
"What exactly is your purpose in lurking here all this time? Our Qinglian Sect has been more than lenient with you," an elder with a serious expression asked.
"Hey, why don't you try being unforgiving?"
"Huaiye, you didn't come here just to argue, did you?"
"Hahaha, I'm just here to have some fun."
"Our Qinglian Sect and the demon realm have always kept to ourselves. Please do not provoke us again, otherwise our sect will not be afraid to become enemies with the demon realm."
"Oh dear, I really don't like dealing with you old folks. Young people are much more endearing. That's all for today, goodbye."
After saying this, the so-called Green Wood Demon King flew away into the sky.
Haha, those present thought to themselves, who's older than you!
After the Demon King left, the Core Formation Elder, still standing in the air, asked those below, "Were they disciples of the patrol team?"
Everyone quickly agreed.
The elder nodded and said, "You all saw what happened just now. Be extra careful on patrols recently. If anything seems amiss, immediately send out distress fireworks."
"Yes, disciple obeys."
"Alright, don't spread what happened today. The sect will reward you later. Go on your way."
"Yes, disciple takes his leave." The group respectfully withdrew.
Ajahn and his five-man team continued their eastward exploration aboard a mysterious talisman ship.
Although the harrowing incident has passed, their hearts remain unsettled, and the responsibility and mission of patrolling continue to drive them forward.
This patrol route seemed to be much longer than usual, extending all the way to the vicinity of the eastern outpost.
During their long voyage, they encountered several groups: some were busy transporting supplies, some were diligently collecting resources, and others were soldiers changing shifts.
On the way back, the group was in exceptionally good spirits. Although the journey was fraught with risks, the rewards they gained were immense.
These experiences will undoubtedly become a very important part of their lives.
The group discussed the incident enthusiastically, along with the sect elders who later appeared.
These ordinary disciples rarely saw these Core Formation Grandmasters, so they couldn't recognize them all and could only distinguish them based on rumors.
And then there was the demon king who appeared at the end; his immense spiritual pressure was terrifying.
When people talk about him, they carefully refer to him as "that person" and dare not mention his name, but this only makes them more and more excited.
Some people talked about his treasure ship, some about his clothes, and some girls kept mentioning his appearance...
"The little ones are full of energy!"
Ah Jiang felt a chill run down his spine. How could such a voice and tone appear here?
She turned around stiffly, almost falling off the boat. Wasn't this silver-clad, green-haired man the demon king she had seen that morning?
