Begin immortality by slaying demons

Divine Dynasty, Jianyang Prefecture.

Before the long-empty gates of the mansion, a figure finally appeared once more.

Monk Zhikong pushed open the door, pleasantly surprised: "Lord Shen has returned."

Since their parting at South Sumeru, he had returned to the Shen residence in Jianyang first. That way, if someone came looking for General Nanyang, they wouldn't be left without anyone to ask, as had been the case before.

But even he, after learning of the Bodhi Sect's plans, was filled with worry.

Shen Yi slowly walked into the mansion, shaking his head gently.

Seeing this, the smile on Monk Zhikong's face gradually faded. He knew that Lord Shen had been in contact with Bodhisattvas and Immortal Reverends, whether he was going to South Sumeru or rushing to Bajigu. The dangers involved were self-evident, but the other party had always been calm and composed. It was rare to see him so serious as he was now.

"Is there no hope left?"

Monk Zhikong forced a smile.

In fact, anyone with even a slight understanding of the cultivation world should have known that the outcome was unlikely to change much when they learned that the Three Sects intended to attack the Divine Dynasty.

The Three Sects were the Immortal Court, so their intentions could be equated with the will of Heaven.

The will of Heaven cannot be defied.

"It's not that bad."

Shen Yi arrived in the courtyard and gently exhaled a breath of stale air.

This trip to the Seven Sage Marsh at least allowed him to understand the extent of the preparations those great sects had made to break through the Southern Continent.

Third-rank experts already possessed the power to stir up the winds and clouds of the world.

Once, when a Seven Treasures Bodhisattva brazenly came to Crane Mountain, the experts of the Southern Continent Demon Slaying Division joined forces and mobilized the imperial aura to suppress him, but they could not stop him. The Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva even personally came to Xishan Prefecture, severely injuring General Yan Lanting, and then gracefully withdrew.

Ancestor Shenxu also possessed the strength to enter the Divine Dynasty silently and assassinate him, the newly appointed General Zhennan.

Of course, there were also differences between the third rank, and not every demon lord possessed the strength of those Bodhisattvas and Immortal Reverends… But the problem was that, without someone of the same rank to resist, the harm they could cause to the various prefectures of the Divine Dynasty was actually the same.

Whether they had just entered the third rank or completed several transformations, ordinary cultivators and living beings were like ants before them.

And according to the Bodhi Sect's original plan.

They had prepared a full eight such powerful great demons!

Among them was even the existence of Nan Huang, who was about to reach the Ninth-Ninth Transformation.

Under such an offensive, the stone defenses that Shen Yi had previously set up in the Great Southern Continent were already useless. Not to mention blocking them, he couldn't even sense the arrival of these demon lords.

But this trip was not in vain.

At least he successfully sent in two spies.

"… …"

Shen Yi slightly clenched his palm. Controlling the news was only the first step. Even if he knew the demon race's attack plan like the back of his hand, he still needed to use his fists to speak when it came to implementing it.

He closed his eyes, and the indigo-green mountain of flesh appeared in his mind.

Don't be fooled by Shen Yi's extremely contemptuous attitude towards Nan Huang when he left, but that was because he knew clearly in his heart that an old demon who had been lingering for so long was definitely not the kind of fool who would fall out with the Bodhi Sect for the sake of face.

What the other party feared was the Bodhi Sect, the Great自在Bodhisattva in South Sumeru, and those high and mighty True Buddhas, not himself, the Dragon-Subduing Tiger-Taming Bodhisattva.

Once he lost his identity as a Bodhisattva, Shen Yi couldn't think of how to deal with this great demon even if he racked his brains.

"No wonder…"

Shen Yi opened his eyes.

The Bodhi Sect dared to attack the righteous gods because they were certain that this plan would break through the Great Southern Continent.

Since that was the case, it was estimated that asking for help from the imperial capital had also become a pipe dream. The situation in the other continents of the Divine Dynasty was probably even worse.

"Has anyone come here during this time?" Shen Yi turned to look at Grandmaster Zhikong.

"General Yanlan has been here, but she didn't inquire about Lord Shen's situation. She simply mentioned that the situation in the Great Southern Continent was still stable, so you don't have to worry."

Monk Zhikong gave a wry smile. If he hadn't followed Lord Shen and seen so many secrets, even he would have felt that the situation was developing in a good direction.

After all, the Divine Dynasty had just issued a demon-slaying order, and the strength of a group of Demon Slaying Division adults had increased many times. The demons had also suffered repeated setbacks and had not moved for a long time.

"Please, Grandmaster, deliver this letter to Old General Yan."

Shen Yi took out a pre-prepared secret letter from his thumb ring and handed it over, then whispered a sentence.

In any case, it was always right to let everyone prepare in advance.

"This humble monk understands."

Monk Zhikong carefully put the secret letter into his arms, and then turned and left Shen's residence without hesitation.

He had begged for food in this world for many years, and it could be said that his cultivation came from the common people. He couldn't understand why those fellow disciples who also relied on the Divine Dynasty for cultivation could be so cruel as to use the lives of this group of innocent people to build their so-called Great Dao.

… …

Songfeng Prefecture.

Yang Mingli sat high in the main seat, carefully reading the memorials from various places sent by his subordinates.

Feng Xi and Yan Lanting sat on the left and right. Although this old man was still pretending to close his eyes and nap, at least he didn't say anything to pick on him.

For a time, the Great Southern Continent Demon Slaying Division seemed to have returned to its former harmonious appearance.

"Huff."

After a long while, Yang Mingli rubbed his eyes, and a rare smile appeared on his gloomy face.

The memorials piled up on the table were all good news. Not to mention demon disasters, there were not even corresponding signs. It was as if the three great demons, along with the original demons of the Divine Dynasty, had disappeared.

Seeing this, the many titled generals became active again after a long absence.

"In the battle of Songfeng Prefecture, the prestige of my Divine Dynasty's General Nanyang is enough to kill the wild ambitions of that group of evil beasts. The Three Sects are also plagued by infighting, and their vitality has been greatly damaged. The Divine Dynasty's pacification of the world is promising!"

Hearing the discussion below, Old Man Yan Lanting finally raised his eyelids.

Having been out of seclusion for so long, he had also grasped the deeds of Shen Yi to a great extent.

The youth he had met by chance had long become an existence famous throughout the Great Southern Continent. Among the younger generation, only the Dragon-Subduing Tiger-Taming Great Bright King and the Taixu Pill Emperor could compete with him.

But these two people disappeared during the scripture transmission and their whereabouts are still unknown.

As such, Shen Yi was the well-deserved leader of the younger generation.

This kind of strength, of course, could not deter those third-rank experts, but which of those who had entered the third rank would be willing to take risks and become someone else's pathfinder.

According to common sense, this calamity has subsided.

At this moment, the memorials on the table seemed to be verifying everyone's thoughts.

"Even if I don't like you, I have to admit that the stability of the Southern Continent is indeed thanks to you."

Yang Mingli turned his gaze to the right.

Yan Lanting glanced over faintly, too lazy to respond.

Now he knows that the old man had discerning eyes, too late!

"… …"

Looking at the old man's proud appearance, Yang Mingli shook his head gently, but he didn't argue with him, after all, he was giving General Nanyang face.

"By the way, has he come back?"

Seeing that the atmosphere between these two rivals had finally eased slightly, Feng Xi couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"I don't know, let's just do our own thing."

Yang Mingli replied softly, during the last meeting in Jianyang Prefecture, he already had the intention of handing over the power to General Nanyang, but unfortunately, the other party was unwilling to accept it.

But in his heart, he still regarded the other party as a reliable fellow official, rather than a junior from the past.

Therefore, when Nanyang spoke, requesting absolute autonomy, Yang Mingli also refrained from interfering, even personally writing a memorial to explain to the imperial court on his behalf.

Just then, a titled general's loud voice echoed at the entrance: "A monk has arrived, sending General Nanyang's confidential letter for Lord Yan to review!"

Upon hearing this.

Among the crowd, the silent Ye Lan suddenly turned her head to look, and the five fingers that had been tightly clutching her sleeve also relaxed slightly.

Finally back…

"Quickly, invite him in."

Feng Xi stood up straight away. In the current situation, the identity of a monk is extremely sensitive, but as long as the name Nanyang is mentioned, the situation is completely different.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Soon, led by that titled general, the monk Zhikong quickly walked into the main hall.

Facing Yang Mingli's outstretched hand, he bowed respectfully, then turned and walked to the old man on the right, taking out the confidential letter and handing it over: "Please review it, my lord."

"Hmph."

Yan Lanting raised his eyebrows triumphantly, glancing at Yang Mingli, before reaching out to take the confidential letter.

Seeing the old man's childish appearance, Yang Mingli awkwardly retracted his hand, not angry, but just staring at the confidential letter.

The other Demon Subduing Division members, including Feng Xi, also looked over with anticipation.

Wondering what kind of surprise this powerful General Nanyang would bring to Dananzhou this time.

Only Ye Lan's expression changed slightly.

Based on her understanding of Shen Yi, the other party was actually a very contradictory person. When it came to serious matters, this newly promoted Zhennan General was so busy that he seemed to never rest, but in certain matters, the other party was also lazy to a certain degree.

For example, returning to greet people and report that he was safe was not like Shen Yi's style.

Before he left, he was even cautious enough to hand over the Demon Subduing Token to her for safekeeping…

Sure enough, as Yan Lanting opened the confidential letter.

He carefully read the contents, and the old face, which had a hint of arrogance, visibly darkened.

Even a few beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

"What exactly is the situation?"

Yang Mingli sensed something was wrong and quickly walked out from behind the table.

"…"

After seeing Shen Yi say that this matter was entrusted to him to handle, Yan Lanting remained silent for a long time and handed the confidential letter to the other party.

The Zhennan General was already at the pinnacle of Dananzhou, they controlled the safety of the entire continent, twenty-seven prefectures.

But now, just a letter had caused the two Zhennan Generals to reveal the same horrified expression.

Yang Mingli's fingers, clutching the letter, trembled slightly: "What a joke, how is this possible!"

"Speak!" Feng Xi scolded in a low voice. No matter how big the matter was, there was no need to scare themselves. Didn't he see that many titled generals below had all changed color.

"Eight third-rank demon venerables… Even if the Bodhi Sect and the Three Immortals Sect were so powerful, where could they gather so many peerless great demons from?"

Yang Mingli turned around, his voice sharp.

It wasn't that he didn't trust General Nanyang, but the content of the letter was too bizarre and absurd.

Even if those reclusive demon venerables in Dananzhou were included, there wouldn't be such a terrifying number.

"Hiss!"

Feng Xi bit her lip, her face turning pale.

She hesitated for a long time, then suddenly said: "Naturally, there aren't that many active ones, but what if those were included?"

Hearing this, Yang Mingli and Yan Lanting both looked over suddenly.

Those… referred to the extremely evil places guarded by the True Gods.

"Impossible, the True Gods are the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao order, how could they collude with the other two sects to do such a thing that violates the laws of heaven."

Yang Mingli immediately waved his sleeves in denial, coldly saying: "Unless they are crazy, daring to make trouble under the noses of the True Gods."

"Then how do you explain the content of this letter?" Feng Xi frowned.

"The letter… even with General Nanyang's unparalleled talent, after all, he is young, perhaps there are times when he is mistaken."

Yang Mingli seemed stubborn, but in reality, he just felt that this matter made no sense at all: "It's just a loss of a batch of young disciples, even if they still refuse to give up, there are many ways to slowly plan for it, why choose to take such a big risk?"

"What's the reason?!"

The voice echoed in the main hall.

Yang Mingli suddenly noticed that the faces of several people had changed, including Yan Lanting, Ye Lan, and the young monk in the hall.

Old Master Yan lowered his head, staring intently at his palms.

He suddenly remembered the black dog he saw in Jianyang Prefecture back then.

Ye Lan, on the other hand, remembered the Divine Void Ancestor who was buried under the golden bowl.

Perhaps… these things were the reason that Lord Yang was puzzled about.

But the two of them tacitly remained silent.

Both of them knew that once this news was revealed, Shen Yi was very likely to go from being the greatest contributor to the entire Dananzhou to directly becoming the sinner who stirred up the slaughter.

"You… you still want to hide it from this old man even now?"

Yang Mingli stretched out his index finger, his entire body trembling: "This old man was once harsh, but it's always right to be devoted to the Divine Dynasty. As colleagues, have you ever trusted me in the slightest?"

Hearing this, Yan Lanting gritted his teeth. Even though he had fought with the other party for so many years, he also knew that for a Zhennan General, being distrusted by his colleagues was a vicious injury, even worse than killing the other party.

But after hesitating for a long time, he still silently turned his face to the other side.

Ye Lan, on the other hand, forcefully gripped the Demon Subduing Token at her waist.

"You…"

Yang Mingli staggered a few steps backward, bumping into the table, his eyes already filled with bloodshot.

Just then, among the many bewildered Demon Subduing Division members.

The monk Zhikong took a few more steps forward.

Remembering Lord Shen's instructions before he left.

He sighed, slowly raising his eyes: "General Nanyang once killed the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva of the Bodhi Sect outside Dananzhou, and also shattered the Dao body of the Divine Void Mountain Ancestor in Jianyang Prefecture."

"These should be the reasons that Lord Yang is confused about."

"There is not a single false word in the letter, please stop arguing and prepare early."

Having said that, facing Yan Lanting's murderous gaze and Ye Lan's hand suddenly placed on the hilt of her sword, the monk Zhikong put his palms together and bowed to everyone again.

These words were Lord Shen's instructions.

That existence who, upon entering the Divine Dynasty, was able to guard twenty-seven prefectures, never thought of shirking responsibility.
