Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 727: One person does things and one person takes responsibility
Divine Dynasty, Jianyang Prefecture.

A figure finally appeared in front of the mansion which had been empty for a long time.

Monk Zhikong opened the door and was quite surprised: "Master Shen is back."

After parting with Nan Xumi, he went back to the Shen residence in Jianyang first. If someone came to look for General Nanyang, it wouldn't be like before, where there was no one to ask questions.

But even he was still full of worries after learning about the Bodhi Sect's plan.

Now that I see this familiar black shirt again, I feel relieved.

"how is the situation?"

"..."

Shen Yi walked slowly into the mansion and shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, the smile on Monk Zhikong's face gradually faded. You must know that whether Lord Shen was heading to Nanxumi or rushing to Baji Valley, he had come into contact with Bodhisattvas and Immortals. Needless to say, the dangers were great, but he always looked calm and composed. It was rare to see him as solemn as he is now.

"Is there no hope?"

Monk Zhikong pulled the corners of his mouth reluctantly.

In fact, anyone who has a little understanding of the world of cultivation should know that the outcome is unlikely to change when they learn that the three religions are planning to take action against the Divine Dynasty.

Since the three religions are the celestial palace, their meanings can also be equated with the will of heaven.

God's will cannot be violated.

"That's not the case."

Shen Yi came into the yard and exhaled lightly.

This trip to the Seven Holy Lands at least gave us a glimpse into what kind of preparations those major sects had made in order to break through to South Continent.

A third-grade strong man already has the power to stir up the world.

Once, a Seven Treasures Bodhisattva came to Heshan openly. The strong men of the Nanzhou Demon Slaying Bureau joined forces and mobilized the imperial energy to suppress it, but they were unable to stop it. The Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva even came to Xishan Prefecture in person, severely injured General Yan Lanting, and then left in a cool manner.

Ancestor Shenxu also possesses the ability to quietly enter the Divine Dynasty and assassinate himself, the newly promoted General Zhennan.

Of course, there are gaps between the three ranks, and not every demon lord possesses the strength of these bodhisattva lords...but the problem is that if there are no people of the same realm to fight back, the harm that can be caused by the various palaces of their divine dynasties is actually the same.

No matter whether they have just entered the third level or have completed several changes, ordinary cultivators and creatures are nothing but ants in front of them.

And according to the original plan of Bodhi Buddhism.

They have prepared eight powerful monsters like this!

Among them there is even someone like the Southern Emperor who has reached the state of ninety-nine changes.

Under such an attack, the stone defenses that Shen Yi had previously set up in Great Nanzhou were completely useless. Not to mention blocking them, he couldn't even sense the arrival of these demon lords.

But this trip was not in vain.

At least two spies were successfully sent in.

"..."

Shen Yi clenched his hands slightly. Controlling the information was only the first step. Even if he knew the monster clan's attack plan very well, he still needed to use his fists to implement it.

He closed his eyes, and the indigo mountain of flesh appeared in his mind.

Even though Shen Yi was extremely contemptuous of Southern Emperor when he left, that was because he knew in his heart that an old demon who had survived for so long was definitely not the kind of fool who would turn against the Bodhi Sect for the sake of face.

What the other party fears is the Bodhi religion, the Mahadeva Bodhisattva in the South Mount Sumeru, and those high and mighty true Buddhas, and definitely not himself, the Bodhisattva who subdues dragons and tigers.

Once he lost his identity as a Bodhisattva, Shen Yi racked his brains but could not figure out how to deal with this big monster.

"No wonder……"

Shen Yi opened his eyes.

The reason why the Bodhi Cult dared to attack the righteous gods was that they were certain that this plan would be able to conquer Great Nanzhou.

In this case, it is probably a fantasy to ask for help from the imperial capital, and the situation in other continents of the Divine Dynasty will probably only get worse.

"Has anyone been here during this period of time?" Shen Yi turned around and looked at Master Zhikong.

"General Yan Lan came here, but he did not inquire about Lord Shen's situation. He just briefly told you that the situation in Great South Continent is relatively stable and you don't have to worry."

Monk Zhikong smiled bitterly. If he had not seen so many inside stories while following Lord Shen, even he would have felt that the situation was developing for the better.

After all, the Divine Dynasty had just issued an order to slay demons, and the strength of the demon-slaying officials had increased exponentially. The demons had suffered setbacks one after another and had been silent for a long time.

"Master, please deliver this letter to General Yan for me."

Shen Yi took out a secret letter that had been prepared long ago from his ring and handed it over, then whispered something.

In any case, it is always a good idea to let everyone prepare in advance.

"I understand."

Monk Zhikong carefully put the secret letter into his arms, then turned around and left Shen's house without stopping.

He had been begging for food in this world for many years, and it could be said that all his cultivation came from the common people. He also didn't understand why his fellow disciples, who also relied on the Divine Dynasty for cultivation, would be so cruel as to use the lives of these innocent people to forge their so-called great way.

……

Songfeng Mansion.

Yang Mingli sat high on the throne, carefully reading through the memorials from various places sent by his subordinates.

Feng Xi and Yan Lanting sat on the left and right respectively. Although the old man was still pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed, at least he didn't say anything to find fault.

For a moment, the Great South Continent Demon Slaying Division seemed to have returned to its former harmonious state.

"call."

After a long time, Yang Mingli rubbed his eyes, and a rare smile appeared on his gloomy face.

Surprisingly, all the memorials piled on the table were good news. Not to mention any demonic disasters, there was not even any corresponding signs. It was as if the three great demons had disappeared along with the original demons of the Divine Dynasty.

Upon seeing this, many titled generals became more active than they had in a long time.

"In the battle of Songfeng Mansion, the reputation of General Nanyang of our Divine Dynasty was enough to defeat the wolfish ambitions of those evil beasts. The three religions have been fighting among themselves and their vitality has been greatly damaged. There is hope that the Divine Dynasty will pacify the world!"

Hearing the discussions below, old man Yan Lanting finally raised his eyelids.

After being out of seclusion for so long, he has a general understanding of Shen Yi's deeds.

The young man whom he met by chance had already become a famous figure in Great South Continent. Among the younger generation, the only ones who could compete with him were the Great Ming King who Conquered Dragons and Tigers and the Taixu Dan Emperor.

However, both of them disappeared during the mission of preaching the scriptures, and their whereabouts are still unknown.

In this way, Shen Yi is the undisputed leader of the younger generation.

Such strength is certainly not enough to intimidate those third-rank strongmen, but who among those who have reached the third rank is willing to take risks and become a pioneer for others.

According to common sense, this disaster should have been resolved.

At this moment, the memorial on the table seemed to verify everyone's thoughts.

"Even though I don't like you, I have to admit that Nanzhou can be stable thanks to you."

Yang Mingli turned his eyes to the right.

Yan Lanting glanced over indifferently, too lazy to respond.

Now I realize that the old man has a keen eye, but it’s too late!

"..."

Looking at the old man's arrogant look, Yang Mingli shook his head slightly, but did not bother with him. After all, he was giving face to General Nanyang.

"By the way, is he back?"

Feng Xi saw that the atmosphere between the two mortal enemies had finally eased a little, and couldn't help but ask with a smile. "I don't know, we just need to do our own thing."

Yang Mingli replied softly that during their last meeting in Jianyang Prefecture, he had already considered handing over power to General Nanyang, but unfortunately the other party was unwilling to accept it.

But in his heart, he still regarded the other party as a reliable official of the same level, rather than a junior as before.

Therefore, when Nanyang spoke and needed absolute autonomy to act, Yang Mingli stopped asking questions and even wrote a memorial himself to explain to the court on his behalf.

At this moment, a titled general shouted at the door: "A monk has come to deliver a secret letter from General Nanyang to Lord Yan for review!"

These words rang out.

In the crowd, the silent Ye Lan suddenly turned his head to look, and his five fingers, which had been tightly clenched on his sleeves, also loosened a little.

Finally back...

"Bring people in quickly."

Feng Xi stood up straight. In the current situation, the identity of a monk was extremely sensitive. But as long as the word Nanyang was mentioned, the situation would be completely different.

Soon, led by the titled general, Monk Zhikong walked quickly into the hall.

Facing Yang Mingli's outstretched hand, he bowed earnestly, then turned and walked to the old man on the right, took out the secret letter and handed it over: "Please take a look, sir."

"Humph."

Yan Lanting raised his eyebrows smugly and glanced at Yang Mingli, then reached out and took the secret letter.

Looking at the old man's childish appearance, Yang Mingli withdrew his hand slightly embarrassedly. He was not angry, but just stared at the secret letter.

The rest of the Demon Slaying Division officers, including Feng Xi, also looked over with a hint of anticipation.

I wonder what kind of surprises this powerful General Nanyang will bring to Great Nanzhou this time.

Only Ye Lan's expression changed slightly.

Based on her understanding of Shen Yi, he was actually a very contradictory person. When it came to serious matters, this newly promoted General Zhennan was so busy that it seemed like he worked all year round, but when it came to certain things, he was also lazy to a certain extent.

For example, saying hello and letting people know that he is safe upon returning home is not like Shen Yi's style.

Before he left, he was so careful that he even gave the Demon Slaying Order to himself for safekeeping...

Sure enough, as the secret letter was opened.

Yan Lanting carefully read the contents, and his old face, which had a bit of arrogance, became visibly gloomy.

There were even a few beads of sweat on his forehead.

"what's going on?"

Yang Mingli noticed something was wrong and quickly walked out from behind the table.

"..."

After seeing Shen Yi say that he would handle this trust, Yan Lanting was silent for a long time and handed the secret letter to the other party.

General Zhennan is already the top figure in Great Nan Continent. They control the safety of the 27 prefectures in the entire continent.

But now, just a piece of letter made the two Zhennan generals show the same horrified expressions.

Yang Mingli's fingers, which were holding the letter, began to tremble slightly: "What a joke! How is this possible!"

"Speak!" Feng Xi shouted in a low voice. No matter how big the matter was, there was no need to scare yourself. Didn't he see that all the titled generals below changed their expressions.

"Eight third-grade demon lords... Even if the Bodhi Sect and the Three Immortal Sects have great magical powers, how can they gather so many peerless demons?"

Yang Mingli turned around and spoke in a sharp voice.

It’s not that he didn’t trust General Nanyang, it’s just that the content of the letter was too bizarre and absurd.

Even if all the demon lords who have retired from the Great South Continent are counted, there is still not such a terrifying number.

"hiss!"

Feng Xi bit her lip and her face turned pale.

She hesitated for a long time, and suddenly said, "Of course there aren't that many active ones, but what if we count those as well?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mingli and Yan Lanting both looked over suddenly.

Those... refer to the extremely evil places guarded by the righteous gods.

"Impossible. The True God is the embodiment of the order of heaven. How could he accompany the other two religions and do something that goes against the laws of heaven?"

Yang Mingli immediately waved his sleeves to reject the idea, and said coldly: "Unless they are crazy, they dare to make trouble under the nose of the God."

"Then how do you explain the contents of this letter?" Feng Xi frowned and looked at it.

"Believe it or not... even though General Nanyang is a rare talent, he is still young after all, and he may make mistakes sometimes."

Yang Mingli seemed stubborn, but in fact he just felt that this matter was completely unreasonable: "It's just the loss of a group of young disciples. Even if they still refuse to give up, there are many ways to slowly work it out. Why choose to take such a big risk?"

"What's the reason?!"

The voice echoed in the hall.

Yang Mingli suddenly noticed that the expressions of several people changed, including Yan Lanting, Ye Lan, and the young monk in the hall.

Old Master Yan lowered his head and stared at his palms.

He suddenly remembered the black dog he saw in Jianyang Prefecture.

Ye Lan thought of the old ancestor Shenxu who was buried under the golden bowl.

Perhaps... these things are the reason why Lord Yang is confused.

But the two of them remained silent at the same time.

Both of them knew that once this news was revealed, Shen Yi would most likely go from being the most meritorious official in the entire Great South Continent to being the sinner who started the murder.

"You...you still want to hide this from me?"

Yang Mingli extended his index finger, his whole body trembling: "I used to be a bit harsh, but it is always right to be loyal to the Divine Dynasty. As colleagues, have you ever trusted me at all?"

Hearing this, Yan Lanting gritted his teeth. Even though he had been fighting with the other party for so many years, he knew very well that for a Zhennan General, being distrusted by his colleagues was a vicious injury, even more serious than killing the other party.

But after hesitating for a long time, he silently moved his face to the other side.

Ye Lan tightly grasped the demon-slaying order at his waist.

"you……"

Yang Mingli stumbled back a few steps and bumped into the table, his eyes bloodshot.

At this moment, among the many stunned Demon Slayers.

Monk Zhikong took a few more steps forward.

I remembered what Lord Shen told me before I left.

He sighed and slowly raised his eyes: "General Nanyang once killed the Thousand-armed Bodhisattva of the Bodhi Sect outside the Great Southern Continent, and blasted the Taoist body of the ancestor of Shenxu Mountain into pieces in Jianyang Mansion."

"These should be the reasons why Lord Yang is confused."

"There is not a single false word in the letter. Please stop arguing and make preparations early."

After saying this, facing Yan Lanting's murderous gaze and Ye Lan's hand suddenly placed on the hilt of the sword, Monk Zhikong put his palms together and bowed to everyone again.

These words are the instructions of Lord Shen.

The man who was able to guard the twenty-seven prefectures when he first entered the Divine Dynasty had never thought of shirking his responsibilities.
