Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 689 My Buddha is Merciful
The Immortal Sect was bustling with activity, but the mansion in Jianyang Prefecture remained deserted.

Shen Yi sat in the courtyard, seemingly in a trance, but in fact he was trying his best to conceal his aura. Ever since he returned to Shenzhou, he has been helping the five hall masters of the Ten Thousand Demons Hall to seize the immortal seal.

Now, the warm and transparent seal lies quietly in the ring.

Shen Yi withdrew his consciousness and calmed down.

The matter of Hongze can finally come to an end. According to Qinghua's message, the heavenly officials from the Immortal Court have arrived and are investigating according to the rules. In the face of the many pieces of evidence that Donglong Palace has already collected, the whole process can be said to be extremely smooth.

Shi Ren had been a local emperor for too long and was too comfortable with himself to even think of disguising himself.

Since he had also attacked the Immortal of Merit, this matter might even involve the Yuchi Immortal Sect. As for what would happen later, that was the business of the Immortal Court and had nothing to do with Hongze.

Since Shen Yi traveled through time, the only thing he wanted was to settle down and not worry about life and death.

From the moment he killed Qingluan, he gave these things to the people of Hongze, except for himself.

"..."

The grudges did not disappear at that point, but were transferred from Hongze to him, the master of Shenxu Mountain.

Neither Tianwu Mountain nor the Shenxu Patriarch would let him go.

Shen Yi opened his eyes, looked at the blue sky in silence, and then smiled helplessly.

He might be a little foolish in his practice, but he is not stupid. He can see some of the things that others can see.

This world is about to be in chaos, and many cultivators are about to suffer the calamity.

I was forced into this catastrophe, yet I felt out of place with other people.

First of all, he didn't even know what this conflict was about. Secondly, others had the support of the mountain gate, but he had to be on guard against the ancestor of Shenxu Mountain waking up at any time and swallowing his god-given elixir in one gulp.

Apart from internal troubles, external threats are equally serious.

Not to mention Tianwu Mountain, if this immortal heritage wants to stand up again, it must step on the corpse of Mr. Shen.

Besides, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down.

Although the battle with Qingluan was satisfying, it was seen by so many people. Once the news leaked out, the geniuses from other immortal sects who wanted to come to the fore would definitely regard him as a thorn in their eyes.

Let’s talk about Bodhi teaching…

Shen Yi pursed her lips, and a figure with a thousand arms and a black dog with its neck strangled under the other party's seat emerged in her mind.

If the guess is true, then I can still sit safely in the courtyard of the mansion now, probably I have to thank Master Zhikong for keeping his mouth shut.

As for that group of righteous gods, Shen Yi now has some understanding of them.

It is true that they are fair, but it is also true that they have no stance...or it can be said that they themselves have a stance and do not favor anyone, so they will most likely not get involved in this matter.

After all the calculations, it seems that the only one he can rely on now is the imperial court.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi turned around and looked behind him.

"How is his injury?" Ye Lan walked slowly closer and asked worriedly. She could not see the fight between the five hall masters and the Immortal Seal Leopard Spirit, she just thought that this young uncle had been injured in the fight with Qingluan and was trying his best to regulate his breathing and recover.

"It's all right now."

Shen Yi sighed in his heart and slowly withdrew his gaze.

Even when Ye Lan came back, he specifically reminded people not to reveal the identity of "Tian Dan" of Shenxu Mountain as much as possible.

The reason is also very simple.

The reason for the existence of the Demon Slaying Bureau is that the imperial court can provide cultivators with precious resources that they cannot get anywhere else. This is also the source of their confidence.

But now, the leader of Danfeng Mountain, who is so "valued" by the Shenxu Patriarch, would naturally not be short of resources in the eyes of any normal person.

Under the current tense situation, any of the three religions’ geniuses will become a serious threat to the imperial court in the future!

Then comes the problem.

Why did Shen Yi join the Demon Slaying Division?

Ye Lan used to be the master of Danfeng, but her lineage was wiped out and she was ostracized by her fellow disciples, to the point that she couldn't even protect the Danfeng left by her master. It made sense for her to join the Demon Slaying Division.

What about the "Heavenly Pill"?

As a second-generation disciple of Shenxu Mountain, the ancestor personally ordered the entire mountain gate to support him and treated him like his own son. This Taoist Tiandan was also very competitive. He fought for his master and killed Tianwu Qingluan in Hongze, making a great name for himself.

How could such a person inexplicably insist on working for the imperial court and becoming an enemy of the Three Immortals Sect?

No one would believe it if he told others, not even Shen Yi himself.

Of course, Mr. Yan can probably be relied upon, but what if this General Zhennan falls, or if things get beyond his control?

Can other people in the court still believe it?
The only things that can disturb the heaven and earth are the three religions and the Divine Dynasty.

Shen Yi is in such an awkward situation now. It seems that he has some relationship with everyone, but when it comes down to it, no one can be trusted.

"Then you have to rely on yourself."

He sighed in his heart, slowly stood up, and Qinghua's voice came in his mind.

"My Lord, why don't you just leave the Demon Slaying Division?"

Now that she is an immortal general, she can see more things and can also give some advice to her master.

Since no one can be trusted, it is better to withdraw first and wait and see what happens to avoid being implicated.

With immortal generals as spies above and Shenxu Mountain as cover below, plus his strength that overpowers any fourth-grade warrior, it should not be difficult for him to protect himself.

"..."

Shen Yi was silent for a moment, and inexplicably thought of the time when the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva descended on Xishan Prefecture and Old Man Yan came seriously injured. He forced himself to pat his shoulder and said with a smile, "I'll take care of everything."

Qinghua quickly figured out what the master meant, and changed the subject: "Perhaps there is another way."

With the master's supreme divine status, his ideas must be much more comprehensive than mine, otherwise how could he transform from a golden carp into a dragon and achieve the current name of Taixu Dan Emperor!
"Fishing in troubled waters."

Shen Yi replied slowly using his divine consciousness.

Although these identities are awkward nowadays, if used properly, they can become many kinds of protection.

"How to do it?" Qinghua asked curiously.

"How should I know?" Shen Yi rolled his eyes quietly. Did he really think he was a fortune teller? Now he could only take one step at a time.

"Qinghua understands!" Qinghua hurriedly kept silent. As the saying goes, God's will is unpredictable. How could a little demon like him rashly guess what his master was thinking? Once he said it out loud and something bad happened, he would be doomed to fail.

"Send those big demon corpses here first."

Shen Yi also felt a little sorry for Wushan. He couldn't just leave the Divine Dynasty and leave all these things to others to do alone.

Apart from anything else, let’s first reshape a few fifth-grade tree monsters to help guard the three prefectures, which will make things easier in the future.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Shen Yi had just cut off contact with Qinghua. When he turned around, he saw a burly figure stepping into the yard.

Wushan walked in with a numb expression, holding the file in one hand and the jade slip of communication in the other. Because Shen Yi had been concealing his breath before, he did not expect to see the two people when he looked up.

The fat man was stunned for a moment, his face showed no joy or anger, he just sneered: "I thought it was someone else, you two still knew to come back, there was not even a letter, someone who didn't know would think you two eloped."

"..."

Ye Lan frowned and explained, "Nanyang's practice went wrong and he is still regulating his breathing. It was not intentional."

Hearing this, Wushan's steps slowed down slightly, and he remained silent for a few breaths. He sighed slightly, turned his head and looked at Shen Yi: "Sorry, I just have a bad mouth, I don't mean any harm."

As he spoke, his face turned pale and he rubbed his chest casually: "There have been a lot of things happening recently, but they are not big. They are just some wild monsters and scattered cultivators causing trouble. Occasionally, a big one pops up. I have almost solved them all. Don't worry. Cultivation is the most important thing. Once you have adjusted your breathing, I will take over as soon as possible."

Last time, near the Demon-Suppressing Tower, he fought with the old monk in a battle of strength. The hidden wound left in his body by the Arhat's golden light was not completely suppressed until now because he was too busy and did not even have a chance to recuperate. Instead, it got worse and worse, and he could not exert less than 40% of his strength.

Old Man Yan is still in seclusion.

Fortunately, the two finally came back.

Otherwise, if this continues, it will affect my cultivation.

"call."

Hearing Wushan's apology, Ye Lan heaved a sigh of relief and glanced at Shen Yi quietly. You have to know that this young uncle of yours is not as gentle as he looks on the surface. He will start fighting as soon as he says so, and once he does, there will be few survivors on the other side.

Such cruelty is rare in the world.

It would have been fine in the past, as Wushan was a fourth-rank Taiyi Immortal, at least he was better than Shen Yi. But now, even Qingluan was gone, and she was really worried that Wushan would speak without restraint and cause trouble.

This senior had harsh words but good intentions. Even though he wanted to distance himself from the matter, he still took over the six prefectures when the two of them left the Divine Dynasty.

"..."

Shen Yi noticed the change in Wushan's expression, looked him up and down, and said nothing more, but just bowed: "This happened suddenly, thank you for your help, senior. I know some alchemy skills, and I will prepare some pills later and send someone to deliver them to you."

Practicing Taixu Alchemy not only improved his calamity power, but also, while he was smelting the elixir in the furnace, his alchemy attainments were also improving rapidly.

"You have a conscience, kid."

Wushan raised his eyebrows and finally spat in annoyance.

Of course, he didn't have much hope for the elixir that Shen Yi mentioned. With his current realm, even if this kid was the master of the Xianmen Dan Peak, he was too young after all. The probability of him refining a suitable fourth-grade elixir was extremely slim.

But if you have this intention, it won't be a waste of time.

"gone."

Wushan placed the jade slip and the file on the table and walked out of the courtyard without any hesitation.

It's really lucky that nothing goes wrong when one person is in charge of nine prefectures.

At this moment, a streak of light rushed into the Shen residence hastily. The demon slayer did not even have time to salute the other two titled generals before he fell straight beside Wushan.

"Sir, something happened at home!"

"..."

Wushan's expression changed slightly.

He has never been a reckless person. The reason why he paid attention to other people's six mansions and even placed his office in Jianyang was because he had his own considerations.

Whether in terms of the number of people offended or the strength of the titled general who is in charge of the local area.

If the evil demons want to attack Great South Continent, they should not choose the three prefectures under their jurisdiction. It would be counterproductive and totally unreasonable.

After all, although outsiders are unaware of the existence of the Demon Slayer Bureau, as long as the troublemakers have reached a level that even the Demon Slayers cannot control, they should know that there is a Taoist priest from Huangshan in the court who has reached the fourth-grade Taiyi True Immortal realm and is practicing Taoism in the Jinguan Mansion.

"You look first."

The demon slayer took out a letter and handed it over.

Wushan's eyes swept across the words on it, and his face became darker and darker, until finally, a face was left on the paper with his immortal power.

The moment he saw the old monk's appearance clearly, he suddenly clenched the letter paper, and finally understood why he had to start from Jinguan Mansion.

"How dare you come and seek death!"

Wushan let out a long breath, and instantly stepped onto the auspicious clouds and flew out of Jianyang Prefecture.

After he left, the demon slayer turned around to look at the two people in the yard and saluted with a helpless look on his face.

"I greet the two generals."

He hesitated and pondered for a long time before walking up to Shen Yi and asked softly, "I dare to ask, did General Nanyang really kill all the monsters when he went to the Demon Suppression Tower last time?"

With his identity, he questioned a titled general.

Even though the Demon Slaying Division does not have as strict a relationship between superiors and subordinates as the imperial court, it is still extremely rare, which is enough to show the resentment in this person's heart.

"..." Ye Lan looked up in confusion. This matter was actually related to the Demon Suppressing Tower?

"Yeah." Shen Yi nodded without thinking.

He might hesitate about other things, but when it comes to the lifespan of demons, he would definitely not leave any one out.

Seeing this, the demon slayer gritted his teeth and said, "That's good."

After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave, but Shen Yi stopped him softly, "Tell me what's going on."

The demon slayer clenched his fists and finally sighed, "Alas, a few days ago, a big demon broke out of the demon-suppressing tower and suddenly attacked Jinguang Mansion in the name of revenge."

"Has the evil still not subsided?" Ye Lan placed his hand on the hilt of the sword.

"It's even more serious than that." The demon slayer waved his sleeves and used his magical power to conjure a water curtain in the air: "You two can see for yourselves."

The water was rippling, and a majestic city came into everyone's sight.

"The surrounding counties were not damaged at all, and this group of demons appeared directly outside the Jinguang City out of thin air. I have never seen such a strange thing in my life."

As the demon-slaying officer spoke, a huge group of demons suddenly jumped out from the water curtain.

Before the government office could react and mobilize soldiers, the demon slayers rushed out hastily. The towering city walls were forcefully trampled by the demons, and the people's screams of fear were heard everywhere.

“Even if General Wushan is not in the palace, as long as the prefect mobilizes the imperial energy and the soldiers are deployed, we can at least hold off these monsters until the general returns.”

The Divine Dynasty cannot rely solely on the Demon-Slaying Bureau. Although it may lack agility, its ability to defend against the enemy head-on is also not something that ordinary demons can contend with.

"But just then..."

There was a look of helplessness in the demon slayer's eyes.

Suddenly, a figure holding a stick appeared in the water curtain. He swept the demons out of the city in front of the people of Jinguan Prefecture, and then was quickly swallowed up by the demon group.

Immediately afterwards, an old monk slowly walked to the collapsed city wall.

He was seen sitting cross-legged with his palms clasped together. His body suddenly swelled up and soon became as tall as a mountain. He closed his eyes calmly and used his flesh and blood as a new city wall.

This is the method of the Arhat's Dharmakaya.

However, the Dharma body displayed by the old monk did not have a golden glow, but rather a withered body, which only seemed more majestic and taller.

The next moment, the monsters rushed forward, tore the monk's clothes to shreds, and tore off his flesh with their sharp fangs.

Like a wild dog snatching food, it gnawed it into a skeleton in an instant. On the white bones, the broken skin and flesh swayed slightly like flags.

The half of the old monk's face that was left was filled with indifference and the generosity of facing death calmly.

"I am powerless to subdue the demons, so I can only use this useless skin to feed you on behalf of the people. Please leave now and stop disturbing the world."

"My Buddha, have mercy on me..."

Following a deep chant, his tightly clasped hands finally opened slowly, revealing the exquisite statue shining with golden light.

The statue has thousands of arms stretched out, and the Bodhisattva calmly overlooks the world.

Under those eyes, fear suddenly emerged in the eyes of the monsters, and then retreated like a tide.

Only the empty skeleton was left, standing among the collapsed ruins like an indestructible city wall.

"A large group of Bodhi followers suddenly appeared in Jin Guang Mansion. Let's pray for them. If this continues, within three months, if we try to expel the Bodhi followers, I'm afraid the human imperial aura of Jin Guang Mansion will collapse directly!"

The demon slayer scratched his hair hard.

Any cultivator with a little knowledge would know, after thinking for a moment, that if they were really a group of monsters that had escaped, how could they dare to invade the Divine Dynasty when they were full and satisfied, and would not be scared away by a small statue?

But now, facing the wall of bones, no matter what the court said, it was so powerless.

Even the previously announced Demon-Suppressing Tower turned out to be a lie. Since all the demons were killed, where did these monsters come from?

"With his great arhat skills, it would not be difficult for him to conceal his imperial aura and bring in a group of demons."

"You've gone to so much trouble to put on such a big show, aren't you disgusted?"

Ye Lan stared at the water curtain and suddenly felt a little powerless. With this method, let alone Wushan, even old man Yan Lanting, could he ignore the gossips of the people and forcibly drive these monks out, or even kill them all?

If Wushan was in Jinguang Mansion at that time, it would have been fine. He could have cut the Gordian knot and killed all the monsters directly, and he could have knocked down the monk's stage with one foot.

But because of the two of us...

Ye Lan silently looked at the young man next to him. If according to Wushan's previous division, the affairs of Jinguan Mansion naturally had nothing to do with the two of them.

But based on her understanding of Uncle Shen, the other party would most likely not do such a thing.

"..."

Shen Yi said nothing, but just cast his eyes towards Jinguang Mansion.

After a moment, he retracted his gaze and said softly, "Keep an eye on this place for me. I'll go over and take a look."
