Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 694: Titled General? Let's try twenty of them first

inside the house.

Yan Lanting put his hands behind his back and walked slowly to the bed.

Wu Shan was about to force himself to stand up and salute, but he saw the old man shaking his head, raising his eyebrows and saying calmly: "Master Wu, just lie down."

Hearing this, the fat man's face suddenly turned red and hot, remembering the words he left to the old man in a fit of rage before leaving. He thought that Master Wu would never come back, but who would have thought that he would be brought back by someone.

"Nonsense, nonsense, don't take it to heart..."

Wushan raised his hands, wishing he could slap himself twice.

However, before his palm fell, another rough hand had already landed on his forehead. The warmth coming from the palm startled the fat man.

Old Master Yan was not healing him, nor was there any other mysterious intention behind his actions. He was simply rubbing his forehead.

Just like how ordinary old people treat their younger generations.

"I've wronged you."

Yan Lanting withdrew his hand, pulled over a random stool and sat down. The hostility in his eyes was gone, and instead there was a hint of trance.

The disagreement between him and Yang Mingli had been going on for a long time.

Yan Lanting has always believed that he is right in this matter, and the reason is very simple. If he does things in the way of Yang, he will not see any hope.

Since there is no hope, even if the other path is risky, there is at least a glimmer of hope, right?
But today, Yan Lanting's thoughts began to loosen up a little.

Because even a child would make this choice, the issue was viewed from the court's perspective from beginning to end, but for these younger monks below, they were not in a situation where they were doomed to die.

Even if a catastrophe really happens, these young people still have many choices.

It was he who pushed them into the fire pit with his own hands, forcing these people to die with the Divine Dynasty.

If these youngsters were the kind of slippery ones, Yan Lanting would never be soft-hearted. Since he had joined the Demon Slaying Division, he should serve the court. That was why he deliberately chose Wushan at that time.

But the problem now is that even though General Wushan appeared to be cautious and timid, and only cared about protecting himself, when faced with such a dead end, he cursed under his breath but stepped forward without hesitation.

Not to mention the newly sealed Nanyang, which gave me too many surprises.

Who wouldn't like and feel sorry for a child who is both sensible and capable? Once you feel sorry for him, how can you bear to continue pushing this group of people to the bottom of the cliff?

"Wronged……"

Wushan was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled bitterly.

There is no injustice for me. I have only relied on luck to get to where I am today. If I hadn't been taken in by the Demon Slaying Bureau, how could I have achieved the Taiyi Immortal Fruit?

If there is any injustice, it is the young man who had a bright future and could lead him directly to the Qingtian Fairyland, but destroyed all of these in order to save his own life. This is the real injustice.

"Is he okay?"

It was clear that Wushan was the one who was seriously injured, but Yan Lanting started to inquire about others, and it was obvious that he had already seen through the conspiracy between the two.

This old man from the Demon Slayer Division in Wushan has seen so many storms and waves, how could it be possible that he would be frightened like this by an Arhat with similar cultivation level, just because of the Ten Thousand Sticks Demon Locking Formation?
Looking at his timid expression, I'm afraid he has already seen real gods, Buddhas, and immortals.

But the end result was that Nanyang successfully brought it back.

"he still……"

Wushan opened his mouth subconsciously, but the word "good" could not come out.

You know, there are no outsiders present now. If I don't tell the whole story truthfully, I may never have the courage to do so again.

In this way, the Bodhi Cult has truly planted a chess piece in the Divine Dynasty who holds a high position and is increasingly valued.

The impact and harm are so great that I cannot bear the responsibility even if I die a thousand times.

On one side is his savior, and on the other are the millions of people of the Divine Dynasty. All of Wushan's cultivation was acquired from the common people.

Suddenly, the fat man's facial features began to twitch.

"I'm okay."

Shen Yi walked slowly into the house and stood behind Mr. Yan.

Seeing this, Wushan finally breathed a sigh of relief, quietly lay back on the bed, and let the father and son talk it out.

However, what he didn't expect was that Mr. Yan didn't turn around to look at Shen Yi, and continued to sit in silence. After a long time, the old man sighed and said, "That's good."

Before he finished speaking, Wushan suddenly turned his head.

Huh? You believe it now?!
Yan Lanting ignored the fat man's surprise, thought for a moment and asked again: "Have you ever regretted joining the Demon Slayer Division?"

The question sounded as if the Demon Slaying Division was some ordinary force that could be separated from normally.

"..."

Wushan froze, and suddenly realized what the old man meant.

Once you join the Demon Slaying Division, you will be a member of the imperial court your entire life.

Because the Ninth Department of the Immortals cannot be exposed to outsiders...but this is all old news. Judging from the current attitudes of the Three Religions and the Immortal Court towards the Divine Dynasty, which are almost as tense as water and fire, what impact will it have whether it is exposed or not.

Although the rules still exist, with the power of the old man, General Zhennan, it should not be a problem for him to turn a blind eye and let a titled general go.

If this is the case, the whole thing seems to be resolved.

From now on, this young man in black clothes no longer has to work in Nanyang, but can return to the Three Religions. Whether it is Shenxu Mountain or Bodhi Religion, the prospect is better than staying in the Divine Dynasty.

And the imperial court no longer needs to be wary of a meritorious official.

Shen Yi thought for a moment, raised his head, and said seriously: "A little bit."

The old man stood quietly and closed his eyes.

Wushan had a complicated expression on his face and forced a smile at Shen Yi.

But then, he saw the other party gently shook his head again and continued: "But not much."

Yan Lanting suddenly opened his eyes and looked back, staring at Shen Yi. Wushan was stunned and sat on the bed. Given the current situation, is there anyone who would take the initiative to stay in the Divine Dynasty?
If the Bodhi Sect dared to ambush and kill the titled general this time, they will dare to ambush and kill the General Zhennan next time.

Although Nanyang is strong, he is only in the fourth level category. What does he count for in front of the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in the Bodhi religion?

Even though Shen Yi was his savior, given such an abnormal choice, Wushan couldn't help but suspect that the other party had brought back the Buddha's decree.

"..."

Facing the gazes of the two, Shen Yi's expression remained unchanged and he did not choose to explain anything.

I regret it because this identity has now become a limitation for me.

As people go further and further, they usually have more choices and a broader world. Their past troubles and grudges are no longer in their sight, and they will regret a decision they made in the past that has affected their present self.

Shen Yi is no exception.

But he did not forget that regretful decision was the only path he could choose at the time.

It's not the right way to complain that the pot is dirty after you're full.

"you--"

Yan Lanting stared straight at the young man's clear black eyes. Obviously, even a high-ranking General Zhennan was caught in the same dilemma as Wushan at this moment.

I got acquainted with this kid because of the ape monster incident, and I felt that he was to my liking.

Afterwards, Shen Yi not only never let him down, but also added a lot of glory to old man Yan's face in the matter of the Demon Suppression Tower.

However, when facing the methods of gods, Buddhas and immortals, many things cannot be resisted by one's own heart.

"Just do your best."

Yan Lanting changed his tone, stood up again, and put his hands behind his back: "Don't feel that you owe anything, as long as you are worthy of the salary from the court and have a clear conscience... When you really need to leave, remember to send a message to the old man and explain what happened."

After saying that, the old man left the room directly. However, his body, which had been holding on despite being seriously injured, now inexplicably hunched over again.

The imperial court's salary is generous, but it can never buy the life of a Taiyi Zhenxian. If this is the case, if Wushan encounters something like the Jinguang Mansion again, he can just walk away.

It only means that this most powerful General Zhennan no longer has any hope for the future of the Divine Dynasty after the three religions only needed a little trick to destroy his most promising subordinate.

There is no right or wrong in his and Yang Mingli's choices; they are just two dead ends.

In addition, this also leaves Shen Yi with a way out. If the Bodhi Sect really gives any orders at that time, he can choose to leave.

If he doesn't leave and continues to cause harm to the Divine Dynasty, then don't blame him, Yan Lanting, for not respecting his colleagues.

"Hey!"

Wushan slammed his palm heavily: "I have hurt you two so badly!"

Let’s not talk about Shen Yi for now. No matter what Mr. Yan said, he still kept Shen Yi in the end. If something big happened because of this in the future, and the other party, as the General Zhennan, knew about it but did not report it, once the news reached the imperial capital, he would really be dead!
"Come back to my place to recover first."

Shen Yi did not respond to this conversation, but just took Wushan with him and stepped into Taixu.

His biggest taboo is that his life is controlled by others.

However, the Three Immortals Sect and the Bodhi Sect made the same choice at the same time.

From here on, it would be impossible for Shen Yi to truly devote himself to the Three Religions. Not only that, he also wanted to win.

At least break the two dog chains on your body first and tie them around the necks of those two high and mighty gods and Buddhas!
……

Jianyang Prefecture, Shen’s residence.

Ye Lan finally saw the figure she had been longing for. When her gaze moved away from Shen Yi and fell on Wushan next to him, what surprised her more than the injuries on the fat man's body was his attitude.

"No... Uncle Nanyang... Can you please be reasonable?"

"Bring me directly to Jianyang, what about my three prefectures?"

Although these words were clearly questions, Wushan's face was full of bitterness and he didn't even dare to raise his voice.

Ye Lan was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses and gradually felt relieved.

That's true. Didn't I just follow Shen Yi out a few times and fall from a boss to a follower?

"Heal your wounds as soon as possible to prepare for future troubles, and leave the rest to me."

Shen Yi walked into the yard, pressed Wushan down on a stone bench, and pointed to the house next door, signaling him to move in first.

"What's the trouble?"

Wushan stood up suddenly and asked: "Do those monks have any backup plans?"

Shen Yi ignored him and looked at Ye Lan: "How are things going recently?"

Ye Lan frowned and thought for a moment, then raised her eyes and said, "Now that you ask, there is something wrong. Although it is not a big problem, there are frequent monster disasters in the area, and they are all unfamiliar faces."

"understood."

Shen Yi nodded his chin slightly. He had received similar news when he was refining elixirs for Wushan in Jinguang Mansion.

It is normal to think about it. If one wants to cause chaos in the world, apart from destroying the Divine Dynasty from within, how can one do without the most useful demons?

In the past, the Immortal Court and the Divine Dynasty ruled together, and with the assistance of the three religions, the land of China could be described as an iron bucket.

Among them, the righteous gods only deal with the demons and evil spirits that have violated the laws of heaven.

One reason is that there are few righteous gods, otherwise the other two religions would not have had the opportunity to rise to power.

But apart from this, this group of incarnations of the Great Dao were not originally on the side of the human race. They were only responsible for maintaining the order of heaven and earth. The evil in the evil spirits refers to the cultivators who violated the laws of heaven.

The main reason why there are no demons in China is because of the mighty imperial aura and the intimidation of the other two religions.

Now that the two sects are preparing to overthrow the Divine Dynasty, amid the civil strife, the demons finally have a chance to turn things around, so how could they miss it?

The wolf demon mentioned earlier is a good example.

The old monk proudly revealed the other party's background, which did not look like the demon had betrayed his former master and joined another sect.

Instead, it seemed more like the old master was planning to come here and sent one of his men to scout out the situation first.

"Do you know the Southern Emperor?"

Shen Yi recalled how Wushan's expression suddenly changed when he heard this title.

"what?"

Wushan suddenly clenched his five fingers and opened his mouth: "Ask, why are you asking this?"

He licked his dry lips, adjusted his mood, and said with a dry smile: "I do know it. It was once a famous demon. It had a grudge with a Daluo Immortal Venerable. They fought for many years. In the end, it suffered a loss and retreated to the outside of Shenzhou... But it doesn't know me."

I thought that after accumulating strength for so many years, I would be able to seek revenge on this beast one day.

Unexpectedly, when he went out to the Divine Dynasty, he was almost killed by a demon general under the command of the other side.

Wushan no longer expects revenge.

All those words of denunciation that I prepared when I tossed and turned in sleepless nights over the years, and the words of condemnation that I would utter when I won, I'd better just keep them to myself under the covers.

"and many more……"

Wushan put away his dry smile, thinking of what the wolf demon and Ye Lan had said before, and suddenly realized something: "You mean it's back?!"

"Just take a guess."

Shen Yi turned and walked into the house.

"Then I have to go back!"

Wushan was so anxious that he grimaced. Only those who had seen the rampage of the monsters knew how terrifying the Southern Emperor was.

This beast, several of its sworn brothers, and the swarm of monsters that filled the sky like locusts, were defeated by the combined efforts of the three major immortal sects and were intimidated by the Immortal Court.

Even so, he was able to vent his anger by slaughtering millions of monks and still escape unscathed.

This is enough to prove how strong it is.

Now it's back again...

"Listen to him." Ye Lan reminded softly.

"..." Wushan's eyelids twitched. He could understand where Yanlan's trust in Nanyang came from. After all, after experiencing this incident, he had a similar feeling.

But the problem is, trust is trust, but we also have to tell the facts.

No matter what, Nanyang is still within the fourth rank category. If there is a Taiyi True Immortal or a great arhat, he can protect the entire nine prefectures by himself. Then, why would the Demon Slaying Division have nothing better to do than waste the imperial energy to support a large number of titled generals?

Not to mention them, even the three generals of Zhennan could not handle everything.

Listening to the conversation coming from behind.

Shen Yi slowly closed the door.

Wushan's worries were not without reason. Even though he had already reached the fourth rank in both Dao Fruit and Fruit Position, with the addition of an Immortal Seal, he could not take care of one third of the Great South Continent.

But he can't do it, so what about adding another ten or twenty, or even dozens of titled generals?

Shen Yi examined the corpse of the wolf demon in the ring. In addition, there were five tree demons sent by Qinghua, as well as more than ten corpses of fifth-grade demons that the other party collected when they followed Zhengshen to sweep the area.

In order to transform all these corpses into stone-suppressing stones, the demon would only need seven or eight hundred kalpas of life.

Although it seems a bit too much, Qinghua has already returned to Baji Valley and is about to take over the fourth-grade immortal seal. At most, he only needs to sweep through two or three monster caves to make up the number.

In return, they gained the impregnable Nine Palaces and an endless supply of demon life!

His Hall of Ten Thousand Demons cannot remain confined to Hongze forever; it is time to move it to Shenzhou.

Give the three religions a little shock.
