Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 696 Heaven and earth conspire to set up a plan for me, Shen!

"Lord Feng Xi has sent a message."

"She left the Divine Dynasty and captured a fourth-grade demon fairy and a Bodhi sect arhat!"

The two hurriedly walked into the attic and bowed towards the darkness. "You guessed right. The demon group came from outside and is indeed connected to the Bodhi Cult."

In the darkness, Yang Mingli slowly turned around and took the letter handed over by the two men.

He read the contents carefully and gently put the letter back on the table.

For Great Nan Continent, the three Zhennan Generals of the Demon Slaying Bureau can play the greatest role by sitting in the territory of the Divine Dynasty and using the imperial energy in the sky to resist the enemy.

However, the recent frequent occurrence of demonic disasters has forced Feng Xi to go out and investigate, which is enough to show how serious the situation is.

"These thief monks!"

The two titled generals could not help but spit and curse: "How dare you bring these old demons back? Aren't you afraid of playing with fire and getting burned? Don't forget that their reputation of teaching people to conquer demons with their flesh and blood was built on the bones of these old demons."

"Ah."

Yang Mingli smiled coldly.

For a strong man who has reached the third rank, no grudges can be more important than his future. Even if his parents have died, he can temporarily turn hostility into friendship in the face of an opportunity to make further progress.

He lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the torn map on the table, and his fingertips slowly moved across the paper.

Every place where a demon disaster had occurred recently was marked with a small red cross. Up to this moment, the red crosses had surrounded the entire map.

The returning old demons have almost obtained all the information they need.

We also have a general idea of ​​where the defenses in the entire Great South Continent are weak and where they are strong.

The titled generals also stared at the map, looking at the place where Yang Mingli's fingertips were resting, which was almost completely occupied by red crosses. The two of them suddenly became serious: "Lord Yang, will they break through from Songfeng Mansion?"

"..."

Yang Mingli glanced at the letter, and his fingertips continued to move, stopping at the blank space on the map.

Those were the nine prefectures in the west that were separated.

His voice was cold: "Since you are colluding with the Bodhi Cult, you naturally know about the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva and Old Man Yan. Wushan is also seriously injured. There are only two titled generals guarding the Nine Prefectures. There are many loopholes. If it were you, where would you attack from?"

"this--"

The two looked up and hesitated.

Lord Yang was a meticulous person. He had guessed the general idea of ​​the whole thing and made preparations in advance long before Lord Feng Xi's message came back.

It can be said that apart from the nine prefectures, the control of all the remaining territories of Great South Continent was done by one person, and no problems have arisen so far.

Including the current speculation, it is also reasonable and well-founded.

"But we haven't received any request for help from the Nine Prefectures."

If Lord Yang's guess is true and the Nine Mansions are really full of holes, they should have asked for help from me and others long ago. How could it be so quiet now?

"..."

Yang Mingli walked out from behind the table slowly. "The fire has not yet reached the tip of the eyebrows. I always feel that there is a chance to save the situation. Yan is very arrogant. The boy under him naturally cannot lose his face. Even if his teeth are knocked out, he has to swallow it."

"But they never thought that this illusory face would cost the lives of millions of people if it really caused a disaster."

As he spoke, Yang Mingli had already walked to the door.

The two titled generals stood behind him in astonishment. What your lord means is that something happened in those nine prefectures, but they concealed the disaster and did not report it?

They also sensed something was wrong.

In the sentence just now, the term "boy" is obviously not suitable for Wushan, and it should refer to Nanyang and Yanlan.

No matter how fierce the fight was in the past, Lord Yang always directed his spearhead at Lord Yan. He secretly admired and favored his subordinates, especially General Nanyang.

At this moment, he showed obvious dissatisfaction with it.

It can be seen that after the last incident in Wushan, Nanyang's behavior of concealing something when reporting on his work completely disappointed Lord Yang.

That's true. Even with the two Generals of Zhennan in charge, he and others were so busy. Old Master Yan was seriously injured and in seclusion, and the nine mansions in the west were so strangely quiet.

It doesn't make sense.

General Nanyang is an excellent cultivator and a good subordinate of Master Yan. He is even willing to take huge risks and go alone to rescue his loyal colleagues in Wushan, but he is definitely not a qualified officer of the Demon Slayer Division.

Such a person would really conceal the evil and not report it in order to save Mr. Yan's face.

"Are you going?"

The two suddenly noticed that Lord Sheep was walking out of the attic.

"Go west."

Yang Mingli had a stern expression. Even though he was angry, how could he really just leave the nine prefectures alone?

I don’t know what the situation is like in the entire Divine Dynasty, but at least the Great South Continent is about to be hit by a storm and is on the verge of collapse. They are the last few pillars supporting this broken building.

Even if he looked down on the man named Yan, the three of them had been colleagues who had known each other for many years. He knew old man Yan's character well, and even if he was stubborn, it was time for him to wake up by now.

Especially after he discovered that his subordinates actually valued his, Yan Lanting's, face more than the people of the Divine Dynasty, if he continued to be stubborn, he would not be worthy of being the General Zhennan.

Yang Mingli didn't mind taking the initiative to give a way out, but from now on, Yan Lanting and the other side's subordinate Nanyang must listen to his orders wholeheartedly and must not do anything rash again!

As his voice faded away, he had already summoned a sky full of clouds and headed towards Jianyang Prefecture.

……

Outside the Divine Dynasty, there are continuous mountains that resemble sleeping Buddhas.

On the shoulder of Foshan that spans thousands of miles, the enchanting red clouds almost condense into substance and gather in the sky.

To be able to roll up such a terrifying demonic cloud, according to common sense, there should be tens of thousands of huge demons on that mountain.

However, at a glance, there were only forty or fifty figures.

There were only six leaders among them, but they occupied the vast majority of this demonic cloud.

The sturdy demon tiger wearing golden armor stretched out its heavy right palm, gently scooped up a handful of food in the air, put it to the tip of its nose and sniffed it, then let out a long sigh of satisfaction: "This worldly smell is something I have been missing for many years."

Living in seclusion between land and water is leisurely, but I always feel that something is missing.

He practiced hard all his life, and grew from an insignificant creature to the one who can call the wind and rain now, but he has no place to use his power. The notoriety he earned in the past has gradually faded from the world as time goes by.

Now I finally have the opportunity to come back, thanks to this group of monks.

If humans and immortals govern together and work together, there will be no place for demons in the world.

What an infighting! What an infighting!
The six fourth-grade monsters stood in two groups. It was obvious that they did not belong to the same monster. They all came as vanguards for their own king.

"How long will you wait, monk?"

The tiger demon became a little impatient and looked towards the top of the Sleeping Buddha Mountain's head.

Our king had lived in seclusion for many years and had not cared about worldly affairs. He knew very little about this Divine Dynasty. It was only after sacrificing the lives of many soldiers and generals that he had gained some understanding of it.

Now that the three have joined forces, they are going to first tear a hole in the Divine Dynasty.

I just don't know why the demon clan let the people of Bodhi Sect get involved. If the king hadn't given the order, they would have torn the monk to pieces first and used his golden body as a sacrifice to his internal organs.

"Don't worry, everyone."

The young, fair-skinned monk, wearing a plain robe, sat cross-legged on the top of Foshan's head: "There is still one family that has not arrived yet. When we all gather together, we can discuss it slowly."

"What the hell is negotiation!"

The tiger demon tore open the map and said, "As for me, I can just pick a place and kill them by surprise. What's the point of choosing?"

As he was speaking, two more giant monsters swooped down from the sky, but the soldiers and generals they carried with them were obviously much fewer than those of the other two monsters, and they looked like they had suffered heavy losses.

"Oh, how come the dignified Southern Emperor's subordinates have become like this?"

The tiger demon sneered, but the two new demons glanced at it indifferently, causing it to withdraw its gaze in dismay: "You are late in the first place, and I don't want you to mention it. Forget it, quickly choose a place and don't waste my time."

As it said this, it pointed casually on the map: "In my opinion, we should kill them from this area, it's quite close."

The other big monsters did not raise any objections. Even if there was one less person under the Southern Emperor's command, there were still eight big monsters of the fourth rank working together to attack the same city. There was no reason why they could not take it down.

The two great demons who were late frowned and looked at the Xishan Mansion pointed by the tiger demon. They shook their heads slowly and said, "Choose another place."

"..." The tiger demon looked sideways, his eyes slightly narrowed.

The two demons strode over, stretched out their hands and randomly drew a line on the map, including all nine large cities: "Except these, choose from outside."

"Why?" The tiger demon was obviously a little unconvinced.

"We have sent many men to test the waters, but none of them have returned so far. They disappeared without a sound. The waters are too deep."

The two monsters showed fear in their eyes. You know, they didn't intend to break through the Divine Dynasty's defenses, and the subordinates they sent out were scattered and attacked from all directions. Not only did they not leave a single person alive, they couldn't even get any news out.

This is not something that can be accomplished by just one or two highly skilled cultivators. This place must have gathered a large number of powerful people from the Divine Dynasty, and they might even be specially prepared to ambush and kill him and his companions. Upon hearing this, the tiger demon's face changed slightly, and he no longer had the reckless look he had just now.

It is just impatient, not stupid, and it knows what this situation means.

"Then it's still Songfeng Mansion."

Another big demon stepped forward to help: "We know the most about this place."

The two great demons under the command of the Southern Emperor no longer objected and stood back in silence.

The group of demon generals behind them also remained silent, except for one among them who looked different from the others, less lively. He was hiding in a remote corner, quietly lowering his head.

"Now that it has been finalized, I wish you all a successful start."

On top of the sleeping Buddha’s head, the young monk slowly stood up and saluted towards the group of monsters with his hands together.

"laugh."

Faced with his gentle attitude, the monsters were dismissive.

Anyone could see that the Bodhi Cult was using them as pawns, so naturally they were not in a good mood.

The reason they came here was just to take advantage of this rare opportunity to make a fortune in China.

When the situation stabilizes, no matter who wins or loses between the Divine Dynasty and the Three Religions, neither will tolerate a group of demons staying here any longer.

"go!"

The tiger demon waved his hand, and the demonic clouds in the sky rolled out and quickly disappeared into thin air.

With the combined strength of the three families, there are a total of eight fourth-grade great demons. Some Daluo immortal sects may not be able to come up with such a foundation.

Now that the test is over, it is time for the Divine Dynasty to remember these old guys who have retreated to remote areas.

"..."

The young monk was not angry at the attitude of the demons. He watched them leave and smiled faintly.

He took out a jade slip and said casually, "I've already been there, Songfeng Mansion, eight fourth-grade ones, they will arrive in about ten days."

After saying this, the monk crushed the jade slip.

Anyone who has reached the third rank, no matter if he is a god or Buddha, an immortal, or a mighty demon, will not give up easily when faced with this calamity.

After all, they are the ones who are supposed to share the delicacies. Once they are in trouble, they will have to gamble with their lives. There is no need for that.

Therefore, the three great demons have put together such a scene, which is already a huge investment for their return to China.

However, they didn't know that this was actually helping the Yuchi Immortal Sect.

Fairy Tiandong came down from the mountain and entered the world, and she needed to fight to let the world know her name.

The monk first gave advice to the big monster, and then helped Yuchi Xianmen to organize a plan. The two sides helped together, which can be said to be the ultimate kindness.

Of course, after this incident, the three great demons will inevitably bear a grudge against the Three Immortal Sects, and this is beyond the control of the Bodhi Sect. Until then, it will be the time for these Arhats to turn the tide.

The young monk shook his head and left Foshan calmly.

And at the other end of the jade slip.

Hong Jing temporarily acted as the coachman. While driving the fairy horse, he also quietly crushed the jade slip.

"Why did you suddenly turn?" The puzzled voice of Fairy Tiandong was heard from the carriage.

"Something unusual was discovered in the sky and a message was sent to me. There might be problems at Songfeng Mansion. It would be better for us to go over and take a look first." Hong Jing explained respectfully.

"I don't mean to say that the Immortal Court has been too lazy recently, and it has allowed these demons to start thinking about it again." Fairy Tiandong sighed softly.

"Senior sister taught me a lesson, and we will definitely correct it."

Hong Jing withdrew his gaze, a hint of emotion flashing across his eyes.

Some people work diligently, but in the end they can only be coachmen. Some people stay in seclusion for many years, and when they go out, someone will prepare everything for them.

Even the number of demons and the guards of Great South Continent were counted clearly.

With Senior Sister Tiandong's strength, as long as she is well prepared in advance, even if she faces eight great monsters of the same level, she can at least temporarily restrain six of them. The extra two or three great monsters can be used to cause chaos in all directions and arouse fear among the people, but will not cause the collapse of Great Nanzhou.

By the time the guards of Great Nanzhou arrived, the disaster was resolved, and the person who left the deepest impression on the common people was the fairy in green shirt and white skirt who stepped forward first.

How unfair...

Hong Jing sighed softly, but quickly composed herself.

At least he could still be credited with leading the way, which meant he had gone a few steps further than the other disciples.

……

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

A rare guest arrived at the Shen residence in Jianyang Prefecture.

Until the yellow clouds all over the sky come into view.

Ye Lan and Wu Shan both stood up and bowed respectfully, feeling puzzled at the same time.

This Lord Yang actually came to the Nine Prefectures on his own initiative?

When the other party split up, they looked like they no longer cared about life or death here.

The middle-aged man with a fading look landed on the ground and glanced at the two people calmly: "Don't blame me for not reminding you. You'd better go and wake up your Master Yan... and then come back to accept the punishment."

If you want to hold them accountable, you must let that stubborn old man see with his own eyes what stupid things his men have done.

"Receive punishment?"

Ye Lan and Wu Shan were both stunned for a moment and looked at each other: "Master Yang, can you explain it clearly? I don't quite understand."

What exactly happened that requires inviting Old Master Yan, who is recuperating from his injuries, over?

"..."

Yang Mingli's originally indifferent expression suddenly darkened. He did not expect that in such a short period of time, these two people who were originally competent had become so miserable after following Yan Lanting.

Even though he came here in person, he still dared to act as if he was ignorant.

His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous aura: "Okay, okay, in that case, call the remaining General Nanyang over, and bring all the recent memorials with you. I will personally review them!"

How could a matter like the demon disaster be hidden from a third-rank Zhennan General who really wanted to investigate? He is just trying to be stubborn!

"Nanyang...Nanyang is not here." Wushan felt the inexplicable anger of Lord Yang, raised his head, and replied hesitantly.

Hearing this, Yang Mingli became even angrier: "You mean, I can't call you anymore? Whatever he is doing, come back to me immediately!"

"But he's really not here."

Wushan was also a little anxious. Even a clay man can get angry. Why should he suffer such injustice for no reason?

He stood up straight and said, "Nanyang had already left for Songfeng Mansion to look for you a few days ago. How can he be called back now?"

"Looking for me?"

The anger on Yang Mingli's face faded a little, and he was a little surprised: "Why did he come to see me?"

"He said he received news that the monsters were gathering and heading towards Songfeng Mansion. He was worried that you had not been prepared in advance and something might go wrong, so he went to report it." Ye Lan also withdrew his hand.

"joke!"

Yang Mingli was always confident in his own judgment. He sneered and said, "You nine prefectures are busy with yourselves, and there are many monster disasters. If those monsters are not crazy, how could they come from Songfeng Prefecture..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by two people.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sheep."

"It is true that demonic disasters frequently occur in the Nine Prefectures in the west."

Ye Lan looked at the middle-aged man seriously and said word by word, "But so far, no one has been killed or injured... What I mean is that there are no casualties, including ordinary people."

These absurd words made Yang Mingli's expression even more sarcastic, but soon, the smile froze on his face.

Because even the most slick Wushan looked quite proud at this moment, with his burly body standing straight.

There is no need for the imperial court, just the power of the Demon Slaying Bureau... to be more precise, just the power of General Nanyang alone can achieve zero casualties.

Who else is there among the twenty-seven prefectures of Da Nanzhou?
"I have to remind you that what he says is usually quite accurate." Wushan raised his eyebrows.

As soon as these words were spoken, Yang Mingli's face turned slightly pale, and it was obvious that he believed it about 70% of the time.

He clenched his fingers tightly.

It’s broken, my Songfeng Mansion!
