Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 666: Nanzhou Branch, the Sun Rises

In an inconspicuous side hall of the Jianyang government office.

According to common sense, if it is a serious meeting occasion, the priorities must be clearly defined, just like the day before.

But today is different.

Yang Mingli and Yan Lanting, both generals of Zhennan, pulled up a chair and sat down at a place far away from each other, without looking at each other.

Several titled generals stood in the hall, looking at each other.

The atmosphere was extremely quiet, making people feel like they had no idea where to put their hands and feet.

The ape demon under the seat of Yuchi Xianmen was beheaded.

Without informing the Demon Slaying Division at all, Lord Yan single-handedly ordered the government office to parade the demon's head through the streets for public display and announcement to the world.

Killing a Taiyi demon fairy was not a big deal, but the Yuchi Immortal Sect behind it was more difficult to deal with. After all, they did send a gift of apology, which was equivalent to a deal reached in advance. However, the Divine Dynasty regretted it afterwards, which was a bit unreasonable.

But no matter what, it will not shake the foundation of Great South Continent.

What really matters is that General Yan acted on his own this time without consulting anyone else, and he strongly represented the attitude of the Great South Continent Demon Slaying Division and even the entire Divine Dynasty.

This touched General Yang's bottom line.

The two generals of Zhennan were not on good terms, and the third one was not in Jianyang, so their subordinates didn't even know how to persuade them.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door.

"General Nanyang, General Yanlan is here."

Hearing this, everyone looked towards the door at the same time, especially when they heard the unfamiliar title, their expressions were quite complicated.

I heard that Yan Lan gave the position of the master of Shenxu Mountain to a young man who had just joined the Demon Slaying Bureau.

This is someone else's private matter and is not the business of the Divine Dynasty, so naturally others should not say too much.

But we can get a glimpse of the general situation from this incident.

This General Nanyang was definitely not a normal cultivator who joined the Demon Slaying Division. He must have been guided by someone.

According to the memorial written by General Yan himself, the ape monster from the Yu Chi Immortal Sect attacked Nanyang halfway and was killed by him helplessly.

But any normal person would know that the ape demon could have returned to Yuchi Immortal Gate safely, so why would he attack the escorts when he had nothing better to do?
What's more, General Nanyang's apparent identity is the master of Shenxu Mountain. He is a fellow disciple of the ape monster. One is like a direct disciple of the Immortal Lord, and the other is just a mount. His seniority in the sect alone is enough to crush it, so there is no need to go to the point of beheading him.

Coupled with General Yan's abnormal behavior, the answer is already obvious.

This Nanyang general was originally introduced to the Demon Slayer Division by General Yan himself. It is still unclear whether it was this young man or Old Master Yan who actually killed the ape demon...

Although everyone was waiting for the arrival of this new colleague.

But everyone knows that today's incident has nothing to do with the other party. He is simply a trigger.

Now that the "medicine" has arrived, it's time for the furnace to explode.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Yang Mingli looked towards the door with a gloomy expression.

The burly fat man stepped in first. He was clearly well-built, but he looked timid. He stood obediently among the crowd with his eyes lowered, trying to reduce his presence.

Yang Mingli ignored him and stared at the two people behind him.

The young man had a tall figure and handsome face, and he looked introverted and gentle in a plain black shirt. Even though it was his first time visiting and he met so many "big shots", his eyes were still clear and calm, without any sign of nervousness.

This scene confirmed everyone's guess.

How could a cultivator with no background remain calm and composed when being stared at by General Yang?

"Ho."

Yang Mingli glanced at Shen Yi, and even looked at Ye Lan behind him, his eyes also became much colder: "Come to the front of the hall, I want to ask a question."

Shen Yi walked slowly to the front. While these people were observing him, he was also observing the true appearance of the Demon Slaying Division.

It has to be said that the background of an organization that can be specially hidden by the Divine Dynasty is indeed quite scary.

Apart from the two unfathomable old men, there were a total of eight titled generals in the hall, including Ye Lan, and each of them had an extremely powerful aura.

If we really talk about the sense of danger that Ye Lan gave himself, he could only be ranked at the bottom.

If the suppression of the Divine Dynasty's imperial energy is added, Shen Yi feels that with this group of people in front of him, it would be easy for them to defeat the Shenxu Immortal Sect, let alone anything else.

"..."

Yang Mingli noticed that Shen Yi's mind was obviously not on him, and he could not help but slowly clench his five fingers.

Colleagues in the Demon Slaying Bureau rarely use the aura of their realm to suppress others. After all, everyone has their own head on the belt, and doing so may easily cause internal discord.

But this is not a reason for a young person who has just arrived to disrespect himself.

"I'm asking you, did you kill that beast?"

"Reply General." Shen Yi gathered his thoughts and nodded slightly: "Yes."

"Who ordered you to do this?"

When General Yang asked the second question, all the titled generals present changed their expressions.

The other party did not ask the reason, which showed that he did not believe the memorial at all. Instead, he directly pointed the finger at Lord Yan, which seemed like a show of hostility.

Do we have to send a letter to the imperial capital to sue Lord Yan? In such a turbulent situation, are we going to resort to internal strife?
Hearing this, Yan Lanting sneered, still staring at the empty corner, too lazy to look back.

"No one gave the order, it was just an act of helpless resistance."

Shen Yi's expression did not change as he responded calmly.

Before he finished speaking, a layer of frost suddenly covered Yang Mingli's face, and his cloudy eyes became as sharp as an eagle in an instant.

Only at this moment did he reveal some of his true self.

Beneath his gloomy appearance, he is a strong man who dares to pursue the Seven Treasures Bodhisattva.

As his expression changed, everyone in the hall held their breath, and sweat appeared on their foreheads.

"You are new to the Demon Slaying Division and don't know the rules. Even if you do something wrong, I won't blame you."

"I am not a stubborn person. The rules can be taught slowly."

"But some people, in a place like ours where we fight for our lives together, try to form gangs and insert their own people into the mix. It's really disgusting!"

These three short sentences brought the atmosphere in the hall to a near standstill.

Yang Mingli stood up slowly.

He could accept Yan Lanting's occasional mischief. Even if they had a big fight, the other party still insisted on his own way. Considering their friendship over the years, it was not impossible for them to share the responsibility.

But he couldn't accept hiding things and eventually making things out of hand.

And where is the Demon Slaying Division?

He is here to "lead the way" for others, to unite with others to attack those who are dissidents, and to arrange for titled generals who only obey his orders, Yan Lanting. What does the other party want to do?
If this precedent is set, there will definitely be chaos in Nanzhou even if there is no external threat!

"I will ask you again now."

Yang Mingli stood with his hands down, staring at the young man opposite him, and suddenly raised his voice: "Who gave the order?"

"..."

Listening to those merciless sarcasm, Yan Lanting's brows furrowed more and more.

He turned around coldly and even his breathing quickened.

After a moment, the old man drooped his eyelids, suppressed his anger, and just cast a look at Ye Lan and nodded slightly.

Ye Lan stood silently behind Shen Yi. She estimated that even General Yan himself had never thought that things would get so serious.

The current situation is very simple. Either General Yan will be held responsible, and the old man, who has already been marginalized, will be directly transformed from General Zhennan into a powerless "thug".

Otherwise, Shen Yi will have to take on this matter.

The old man's answer was also very simple. Since he said he would solve the problem, he would solve it to the end. Ye Lan shook his head and quietly reached out to pull Shen Yi's clothes.

But before she could retract her hand, that clean voice was heard again in the hall.

"Reporting to the general, no one has given the order."

Almost at the same time, everyone looked at the black-shirted figure in surprise.

"Cough!" Even Yan Lanting, who had just picked up the teacup, was choked and looked back in surprise.

What the hell?

If this was not the second time he had met this young man, based on this sentence alone, Yan Lanting would have begun to suspect that the other party was someone he had planted in the Demon Slaying Division.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Shen Yi remained quiet.

There was no trace of evasion in those dark eyes.

Ye Lan stared at the young man's profile in a daze. She felt complicated, but suddenly, she felt inexplicably happy.

It seemed like she really hadn't made a mistake.

But when the answer was "eliminating" Yan Ye and the other two, the faces of the others did not look so good. While being shocked that the young man dared to look directly at General Yang, they began to murmur in their hearts.

What they guessed in their minds happened to be exactly what Yang Mingli was thinking.

"good very good……"

Yang Mingli was silent for a long time, and finally retracted his gaze and slowly closed his eyes. He looked even more depressed and sighed softly, "There is no cure."

This is no longer as simple as being "led" in by someone.

Judging from the outstanding performance of this young man, he is clearly a die-hard fan carefully cultivated by Yan Lanting.

He turned around silently, and in front of everyone, he suddenly picked up the map on the table and held it tightly in his hand.

Looking back, Yang Mingli's eyes were filled with indifference: "Separate the family, take your people with you, go, and from now on we won't be in each other's way."

As he spoke, he reached out and tore off a piece of the map.

There are a total of twenty-seven prefectures in Da Nanzhou. There are nine prefectures in total on the part torn off, and Jianyang is among them.

Without any room for negotiation, Yang Mingli simply threw the torn off part at Yan Lanting's feet.

Since we have different ideas, let's stop disgusting each other.

Let Yan Lanting open his dog eyes and see who is right. But if anything goes wrong, don't come to me and cry.

The moment the map landed, everyone's faces turned pale.

"Ho."

Yan Lanting was silent for a moment, but did not intend to refute.

Even a clay figure still has some fire in it.

Being slandered like this and having been determined, there is no point in saying anything more.

Besides, what happened today was just the fuse.

During the long years of co-governing Great South Continent, the conflicts between the three had become so great that they were difficult to heal.

When Yang Mingli spoke, his eyes swept over Shen Yi and Ye Lan. It was obvious that he had regarded these two people as "members of the Yan family", so naturally he did not have a good face at all.

But since the family has split up, one of the nine titled generals must be given away, so that the other party won't use this as an excuse.

Yan Lanting did not hesitate. He stood up and pointed his hand towards the crowd.

A group of titled generals hurriedly scattered and hid.

What a joke, they said they were splitting up, but there was no conflict between General Feng and General Yang. If they were to be picked up, the only person on the opposite side would be Ye Lan, a middle-level fifth-rank cultivator, a young man who didn't know his own limits. He would truly become an orphan who was neither loved by his parents nor his father.

"Why are you hiding? It's you!" Yan Lanting glared and pointed at the burly fat man.

"No! Lord Yan, you are my biological father, please let me go this time..." Wushan made a bitter face and did not even look at how the map was divided. The three prefectures that had just been affected by the monster, plus Heshan, all the places where accidents frequently happened were included in it.

If I take two young monks with me, I will be dead.

But before he could finish his words, he was pulled out of the crowd by an invisible hand and thrown out of the hall.

"What the hell is this!"

Wushan stood up with a sad look on his face, and when he saw General Yan and the two young men coming out, his sadness became even stronger.

"This is General Wushan, whose cultivation has reached the fourth level."

Ye Lan briefly introduced Shen Yi.

In the past, this girl was like an omnipotent immortal elder in front of Meng Xiuwen and others. Whenever they got into any trouble, they could just report back and the problem would always be solved, even if they had to give her a beating.

But when faced with such a major event, Ye Lan's eyes showed some confusion.

In just a few words, Great Nanzhou was divided into three parts.

It even gave people a feeling of being a joke.

But when General Yan stepped out of this side hall, the outcome was decided.

"Master Yan, please think about it. If it doesn't work, let's go back and apologize."

Wushan forced a smile and came over, whispering to the old man, "You were a little presumptuous in what you did. Lord Yang meant well and didn't want to see chaos in Da Nanzhou. Just lower your head and be more careful next time. Let's all be harmonious..."

"..."

Yan Lanting scared Wushan back with just one look.

He then looked at Ye Lan again: "Do you also think that I am angry?"

Hearing this, Ye Lan pursed her lips and did not respond for a long time. She really couldn't see clearly what had happened just now.

Seeing this scene, Yan Lanting sighed helplessly, and even reached out and patted Shen Yi on the shoulder: "How did you get to this level? Why is there such a big gap between you and them? Did you have a famous teacher to teach you?"

Perhaps the separation of the family was not what this kid had expected.

But among all the people present, only this boy could understand his thoughts, because when Yang Mingli tore off the map, only Shen Yi was observing the nine palaces carefully.

"..."

Shen Yi shook his head and looked forward.

This Lord Yan is not angry.

What he was betting on was the lifeblood of the entire Divine Dynasty. If he killed the ape monster, the other party's guess would come true.

Then, if the Demon Slaying Bureau continues to follow its original style of operation, the encroachment of Great South Continent is almost a foregone conclusion.

In this situation, a sharp knife is necessary to cut through the mess.

Lord Yan wanted to withdraw and make such a sword, which would at least give the Nine Prefectures in Great Nanzhou some breathing space.

Of course, if the guess that day was wrong.

There was no chaos in Nanzhou.

Those three titled generals are definitely more than capable of managing the nine prefectures.

At most, he would have to endure the revenge of Yuchi Immortal Sect. For this old man, he should be able to bear it.

Of course, from your own perspective.

Shen Yi really hated the feeling of being restricted. He needed the demon's lifespan more than ever before.

Moreover, in comparison, this Lord Yan is obviously a more suitable backer than General Yang.
