Even with Shen Yi's composure, he couldn't help a sigh of feeling in his heart. This time he'd truly struck it rich.

Three upper-tier demon kings, one extreme-peak demon king, plus a demon emperor. And most of a Nine-Sword Calamity-Ending Grand Formation, along with a bramble hand-string treasure, and several storage treasures not yet fully tallied. In techniques, there was the Parting-Flame Heart-Burning Palm too. The spiritual root he'd most anticipated earlier — that Dragon-Flame Jade Fungus — actually paled a little against all this.

And this didn't even include Zhang Mingyang's storage treasure, carried off by the golden dragon. The main thing was that had the golden dragon handed the storage treasure out directly too, it would have been far too obvious. Before he'd truly stepped into the Spirit-Transformation realm, Shen Yi had no intention of exposing his connection to the golden body.

The reason was simple enough. The golden body did all the dirty work, and was bound to offend a great many powerhouses. Unable to find the golden body to vent their anger on, they'd inevitably turn their attention to him... and should some demon emperor come specifically targeting him, that would be no good news at all. Just as the White-Feather Demon Emperor earlier had nearly slain Zhang Mingyang while bearing up under the golden body's pressure. Shen Yi didn't think he'd be any stronger than that Perfected Master Zhang.

At the thought, he gathered his mind and quietly opened the panel.

【Slain: Mixed Origin golden-mane boar demon. Total lifespan eighteen thousand nine hundred years; remaining lifespan eight thousand eight hundred years. Absorption complete.】

【Slain: Spirit-Transformation white-feather crane demon. Total lifespan sixty-seven thousand years; remaining lifespan twenty-nine thousand years. Absorption complete.】

【Remaining demon lifespan: fifty-two thousand three hundred years.】

Merely five demons had provided more than half the lifespan of all Song Prefecture's demons combined. Beings like these — there was no telling how many more the Thousand Demon Den held.

A measure of heat entered Shen Yi's eyes, but it soon quieted again. Rich as the harvest was, the cost was no small thing either.
