Begin immortality by slaying demons

“…”

Yan Lanting suddenly stood up, the aura of a Grand Luo Immortal Venerable sweeping across the hall like a storm.

As expected, none of the monks from the Bodhi Sect are good people!

He so easily betrayed Nanyang.

If he hadn't sensed it wrong, the aura emanating from this young monk was exactly the same as that of the black dog back then, which meant that this person's life was saved by Nanyang at the risk of his own.

He regretted that he had felt that the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva's transformation of beasts was too evil and had spoken out against it for this person, but now it seemed that he deserved to suffer!

If this statement were to spread, in the future, no matter what disasters occurred, the officials of the Great Southern Continent and the Demon Slaying Division would immediately push the responsibility onto Nanyang.

He was clearly a savior of the world, having saved the Southern Continent more than once, so why should he suffer such grievances?

“Don't be anxious!”

Feng Xi sensed that something was wrong and quickly stood in front of Yan Lanting.

Blocking him, yes, but when she looked at the monk in the hall again, her expression was filled with shock and complexity.

Even though they hadn't had much contact with Nanyang, everyone had a certain understanding of his casual nature. For example, when he first came into everyone's view, he had taken it upon himself to kill the ape demon of the Jade Pool Immortal Sect.

But even so.

Feng Xi had not expected that, beneath the earth-shattering actions of guarding Songfeng Prefecture and intercepting the Bodhisattva Scriptures, General Nanyang had quietly done something even more terrifying.

Bodhisattva… Immortal Venerable…

These giants, capable of shaking a world, had actually fallen without the Divine Dynasty even knowing.

So, their previous belief that the turmoil of the Three Sects had subsided was actually just a prelude to an even greater storm!

For a moment, even wanting to ease the atmosphere, Feng Xi opened her mouth, but was somewhat at a loss for words.

In contrast to Yan Lanting, Ye Lan instinctively gripped the hilt of her sword at first, but then pursed her lips slightly, and finally her fingers trembled as she released the long sword at her waist.

Compared to others, she understood Shen Yi better and knew that he would never misjudge people.

Master Zhikong's words now were likely all instructed by Shen Yi.

She just couldn't understand why, whether as a Demon Slayer or now as the General of the South, Shen Yi owed nothing to the Divine Dynasty, and had even gone beyond the scope of his duties, yet why did he have to bear all the pressure on his own?

“…”

Yang Mingli was stunned for a long time, with some lingering anger on his face, but his mind was spinning, his arms weakly propped on the table, and he seemed a little dazed.

Originally, the Three Sects planned to hone the younger generation in a Gu-raising manner, and incidentally erode the Emperor's position in the hearts of the common people.

To complete a silent change of dynasty.

But after the real Rank Three experts fell, this calamity turned into a bloody battle that could overturn the world, and its tragic degree was by no means comparable to what it once was.

It was unimaginable how terrifying the power that those Bodhisattvas and Immortal Venerables could unleash when they no longer cherished their lives.

If Yang Mingli had previously hoped to recommend General Nanyang to deter the younger generation of the Three Sects, delay the chaos in the Great Southern Continent, and wait for the imperial court to provide a new solution, perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope.

But now, the two sects didn't even take the righteous gods seriously and started to get serious, then breaking through the Great Southern Continent would be a complete walk in the park.

The eight demon lords, led by the Southern Emperor, were the two sects' determined strike.

Now that the sword had pierced his brow, Yang Mingli realized that besides watching his brow being pierced, he seemed unable to do anything else.

“Alas!”

He closed his eyes, not blaming Shen Yi.

After all, the other party meant well.

A strong man who could kill Bodhisattvas and Immortal Venerables, no matter what means he used, not to say that he could support the other party to look down on the world, at least he could protect himself.

“This old man… this old man will report to the imperial court to see if we can get assistance.”

Yang Mingli tremblingly returned to the back of the table, took out paper and pen, but the hand that could turn clouds and rain could not even hold the brush steadily at this moment.

Everyone in the field watched the old man with a dying aura with pale faces.

Although it was not clear what exactly happened in the imperial court, perhaps other continents were more urgent, or perhaps they were accumulating strength to prepare for a desperate fight, but everyone knew that if there was any spare strength to help, it should have come long ago, so why send a letter to ask for it again.

Although they thought so, no one interrupted him.

The thoughts of everyone in the hall were surprisingly consistent at this moment.

That is to do all the things that should be done, fight like a praying mantis until the last drop of blood is shed, and then wait for the unstoppable wheels to roll down…

…

A top-secret urgent letter lightly fell into the majestic imperial city.

The Emperor had not cared about the affairs of the court for many years, living a life of drunken dreams in that garden wine pool.

It is said that emperors must not seek immortality. Once they have the idea of immortality, there will be no common people in the world in their hearts.

Who would have thought that the former master of rejuvenation now had only the word "immortal" in his heart.

However, it is not the immortal of becoming an immortal and attaining the Tao, but the immortal of the Immortal Department.

Only matters involving the Immortal Department can enter this secluded and quiet garden.

“Your Majesty.”

Lin Shuyai quickly came to the edge of the wine pool, unfolded the letter in his hand, and saluted the back figure soaking in the pool.

“Speak.”

The old man with a missing front tooth was flushed and drunkenly turned his face, using an almost imperceptible frown to hide the pain in his eyes.

The so-called human heart cannot be tested.

Even the most upright person, facing a full treasury of gold and silver unguarded, may occasionally have a trace of distracting thoughts.

Gold and silver are like dung, let alone the immortality that even gods, Buddhas, and immortals covet.

The majestic imperial aura is like a full treasury of gold and silver. The Emperor faces these things every day, and as long as he reaches out his hand, he has the opportunity to seize the transcendence of the Great Dao.

But he just stays drunk all day long, never leaving this place half a step, but he has never reached out his palm.

This is a kind of torment, and you can't see the end at a glance.

“A report from the Great Southern Continent states that General Zhennan, Shen Yi, has successively killed Rank Three experts from the Bodhi Sect and the Three Immortals Sect. Now, Southern Sumeru has been angered and, in some way, has gathered a total of eight demon lords, intending to use their hands to break through the Southern Continent with lightning speed.”

As the head of the Immortal Department, Lin Shuyai does not panic in case of trouble, and calm and composure are basic skills.

But his calm tone at the moment seemed to carry some other meaning.

“What do you think?” The Emperor listened quietly, was silent for a moment, and closed his eyes again.

“Logically speaking, the matter of killing the experts of the Three Sects cannot be completed overnight and requires advance planning, but the imperial court has not received any news. Although the letter deliberately ignored this matter, Shuyai guesses… perhaps even Yang Mingli does not know about this, and it was General Nanyang who did it privately.”

Lin Shuyai's eyes swept over the letter in his hand. Even though he used a tone of speculation, his voice contained full confidence.

“I didn’t ask you that.”

The Human Emperor let out a long breath, seemingly extremely comfortable in the bath: “Who is Nanyang?”

“It's that newly appointed General Zhennan from last time.”

“Oh—”

The Human Emperor drawled out his voice, as if his brain had been damaged by the wine. His thoughts seemed somewhat unclear. After a long while, he finally said, “It's him, ah…”

“Are there any more personnel in the court who can be transferred to the Great Southern Continent?” This Restorer Emperor had now reached the point of being so muddle-headed that he didn't even know the specific strong individuals in the Divine Dynasty.

“The other three continents have already fallen for the most part. Almost all the strong individuals in the court have been transferred there. Recently, all the news coming from the Great Southern Continent has been good, so we didn't reserve any personnel for them.”

“Is that so.”

The Human Emperor responded faintly, and then fell silent.

Lin Shuyia raised his eyes. Shenzhou was already in great chaos, and the reason for it all stemmed from a single thought of the person in front of him. But after hearing this news, the other party could still put on such an indifferent appearance.

There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart.

“After all, he did these things privately…” Lin Shuyia pursed his lips and brought up Nanyang again.

“Privately?”

The Human Emperor reopened his eyes, looking over curiously, and then a meaningful look appeared in his eyes.

“Shuyia knows that there is no room for reconciliation between the Three Teachings and my court, but we need time, even if it's just a false reputation, to delay.”

Lin Shuyia finally spoke his mind.

The newest and most complete novels are at 6_9_书_吧_首_发!

What is currently holding back the Three Teachings is not the strong individuals of the Divine Dynasty, but the righteousness of the world.

As long as it can't be justified in principle, they won't dare to act rashly.

In short, if the Great Southern Continent is willing to make this matter public, generously admit their mistakes, and then use that Nanyang as a sacrifice, and finally announce to the world and ask the Three Teachings for help…

Even if those eight demon venerables were summoned by them, as long as they don't want to leave a bad impression in the hearts of the common people, those Bodhisattvas and Immortal Venerables would have to pinch their noses and kill those demon venerables again.

Naturally, doing so would not only lose a capable general, but would also leave the people with the impression that the Divine Dynasty is incompetent, which would suit the Three Teachings' wishes. But at least… the Great Southern Continent would not fall into the tragic situation of living beings being plunged into misery.

“Tsk.”

The Human Emperor retracted his gaze, quietly staring at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

“Your Majesty, what do you think?” Lin Shuyia gritted his teeth and stubbornly asked.

“I think, he should be rewarded.”

The Human Emperor suddenly grinned and laughed loudly, the laughter grating and seemingly carrying a bit of sarcasm and contempt.

In the eyes of this dying co-lord of the human world, Lin Shuyia was like he had been stripped naked, unable to hide any thoughts from him.

“Not to mention that he killed Bodhisattvas and Immortal Venerables, if he can kill a True Buddha one day, I will also make him a Great General of the Nation!”

As the man's voice fell, Lin Shuyia's face had already turned red.

Are the lives of those common people so worthless in the eyes of these high and mighty people?

Even if they all die cleanly, it's not as important as them venting a fit of anger?!

“Shuyia.”

Just then, the Human Emperor stopped laughing, his eyes briefly clearing up: “Do you think those pigs in the pen, at the mercy of others, can be considered alive?”

Faced with this inexplicably digressive topic.

Lin Shuyia was briefly stunned, then frowned and said: “Living is living, dying is dying, but as long as one can still move, eat, drink, and excrete, then naturally they are alive. This is the principle of heaven and earth, how can it be changed by a single thought.”

“……”

The Human Emperor listened quietly, then fell silent again, and after a long while, he gently waved his hand: “Go.”

……

Jianyang Prefecture, the Shen Residence.

Shen Yi rarely stayed in the courtyard for many days. Every day, besides comprehending the broken Fruit Position left by the Five Directions Bodhisattva, he would sit idly under the locust tree.

The monk Zhikong had already rushed back.

But surprisingly, even though he had already brought the news to the Demon Subduing Division of the Great Southern Continent, no one had come to Jianyang Prefecture so far.

This can only prove one thing.

That is, the former people, even if there is still a glimmer of hope, they must try to grasp it, and Shen Yi is that glimmer of hope in their eyes.

But facing the current situation, even General Nanyang doesn't seem to be able to change anything.

It's better for everyone to do their own thing, and not to create an embarrassing scene of mutual buck-passing in this situation, which would make each other unhappy.

“They don't think this is your responsibility, it's just that the pressure is too great.”

The monk Zhikong was worried that Lord Shen would misunderstand, and explained softly behind him, after all, he rarely saw Lord Shen so leisurely.

“It's okay.”

Shen Yi picked up the teacup and slightly moistened his lips.

He doesn't care about these things.

Moreover, in the current situation, there is no time to have any other thoughts.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi closed his eyes again.

The seeming idleness these days is actually because he has to maintain contact with the Thousand-Legged Black Dragon brothers at all times.

The brothers' hurried reports gradually formed a picture in Shen Yi's mind.

Within the Seven Saints Marsh.

After the people of the Bodhi Sect left, the Southern Emperor was not in a hurry to arrange how to break through the Great Southern Continent.

Instead, he settled down the newly arrived demon venerables separately.

Then there were non-stop conversations day and night.

It was as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years, rather than a demon army temporarily gathered to attack the Divine Dynasty.

From their origins and roots, they talked all the way to their life stories.

He even asked why the Thousand-Legged Black Dragon brothers had to conceal their figures with strange means, which the brothers perfunctorily dismissed as a habit of many years.

Fortunately, the Southern Emperor did not intend to get to the bottom of it.

Until they had talked almost enough, he finally revealed his true intentions.

“This Emperor will not hide it from you.”

“Since I returned from the desolate wilderness, I have noticed something strange. Every time, no matter how I arrange things, the Divine Dynasty always seems to receive the news in advance.”

“I am not saying that there are spies of the Divine Dynasty among you, or among us.”

The Southern Emperor's expression was calm, but the bodies of the Thousand-Legged Black Dragon brothers, hidden behind the means of Divine Void, were slightly stagnant.

“After all, this news could be spread from here, or it could be spread from that great sect. Time is tight, and I really don't have the strength to distinguish them one by one.”

“But please also understand.”

As the voice fell, several streams of light swept out from the Southern Emperor's body and landed in the hands of the major demon venerables respectively: “This is my arrangement for you, one copy for each person, and absolutely no one can reveal a single word to each other.”

“If something goes wrong at that time…” The Southern Emperor's eyes gradually turned cold: “It would be good for me to have a thought, and know where to start.”

“……”

Inside Jianyang Prefecture, Shen Yi slowly opened his eyes.

Even he had not expected that, in a situation where victory was assured, the Southern Emperor could still be so cautious.

Worthy of being an old demon who can survive to this day.
