Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 728: South Continent Desperate Situation
"..."

Yan Lanting stood up suddenly, and the aura of the Daluo Immortal Venerable swept towards the hall like an overwhelming force.

As expected, none of the monks of the Bodhi sect are good people!

Nanyang was betrayed so easily.

If my perception was correct, the aura emanating from this young monk was exactly the same as that from the black dog, which meant that Nanyang had to risk his life to save this man.

Fortunately, I thought that the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva's method of transforming animals was too evil, and I avenged this person. Now it seems that he really deserves to be punished!

If this statement were to get out, no matter what disaster occurred in the future, the first reaction of the officials of the Great South Continent and the people in the Demon Slaying Bureau would be to put the blame on Nanyang.

He is a savior who has saved Nanzhou more than once. Why should he suffer such injustice?

"Don't be impatient!"

Feng Xi sensed something was wrong and hurriedly stood in front of Yan Lanting.

Although she tried to stop her, when she looked at the monk in the hall again, her expression was full of shock and complexity.

Even though they had not had much contact with Nanyang, everyone had a certain understanding of his casual personality. For example, when he first came into everyone's sight, he took the initiative to kill the ape monster of Yuchi Immortal Sect.

But even so.

Feng Xi also did not expect that while guarding Songfeng Mansion and intercepting the Bodhisattva Sutra, which were shocking actions, General Nanyang had quietly done something even more horrifying.

Bodhisattva... Immortal...

These giants who were able to shake the world unexpectedly fell without the Divine Dynasty being aware of it.

Therefore, what they thought was the calming of the turmoil among the three religions was actually just a precursor to even greater turmoil!

For a moment, Feng Xi opened his mouth to ease the atmosphere, but was at a loss for words.

Unlike Yan Lanting, Ye Lan instinctively grasped the hilt of the sword at first, then pursed his lips, and finally let go of the long sword at his waist with trembling fingers.

Compared to others, she knows Shen Yi better and knows that he never makes a mistake in people.

Most of what Master Zhikong said now were instructed by Shen Yi.

She just couldn't understand. Whether as a demon slayer or the current General Zhennan, Shen Yi owed nothing to the Divine Dynasty. He even did things beyond the scope of his duties. So why did he take on all the pressure?

"..."

Yang Mingli was stunned for a long time, with some anger still on his face, but his mind was already spinning. His arms were weakly supported on the table, and he looked a little dazed.

Originally, the three religions planned to train their younger generations by raising poisonous insects, and at the same time erode the status of the Human Emperor in the hearts of the people in the world.

Complete a silent change of dynasty.

But after the death of a true third-grade strongman, this calamity turned into a fight that could overturn the world, and its cruelty was incomparable to anything before.

It is unimaginable how terrifying the power they can unleash is when those Bodhisattvas and Immortals no longer value their lives.

If Yang Mingli had previously wanted to nominate General Nanyang in order to intimidate the younger generations of the three religions, delay the chaos in Great Nanzhou, and wait for the court to come up with a new solution, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

But now, those two religions don't even take the righteous gods seriously and have started to fight for real. Then, conquering Great South Continent will be a piece of cake.

The eight demon lords headed by the Southern Emperor are the blow that the two sects are determined to win.

Now that the sword had pierced his eyebrows, Yang Mingli found that he could do nothing but watch his eyebrows being pierced.

"Alas!"

He closed his eyes and did not blame Shen Yi.

After all, the other party has good intentions.

A strong man who can kill Bodhisattvas and Immortals, no matter what means he uses, can at least protect himself, even if he cannot support the other party to dominate the world.

But General Nanyang still chose to stand on the side of the Divine Dynasty.

It just accelerated the inevitable demise of the frog in boiling water.

"I...I will report this to the court and see if I can get help."

Yang Mingli staggered back to the table and took out paper and pen. His hand, which could control the weather, couldn't even hold the brush steadily.

Everyone in the room looked at the old man with pale faces.

Although it is unclear what exactly happened in the court, perhaps the situation in other continents was more urgent, or perhaps they were accumulating strength for a desperate fight, but everyone knows that if there was spare capacity to help, it would have come long ago, so there would be no need to send another letter to request it.

Although everyone was thinking this, no one spoke to disturb the other person.

The thoughts of everyone in the hall were surprisingly consistent at this moment.

That is to do all the things that need to be done, fight like a praying mantis until the last drop of blood is drained, and then wait for the unstoppable wheel to roll down...

……

An urgent secret letter landed lightly into the majestic imperial city.

The Emperor has not cared about court affairs for many years and has been living a life of drunkenness and debauchery in his garden.

It is said that emperors are not allowed to seek immortals. Once they have the idea of ​​immortality, they will no longer care about the people of the world.

Who could have imagined that the former leader of the revival of the country would now only have the word "immortal" in his heart.

But he is not an immortal who has attained enlightenment, but an immortal in the immortal department.

Only matters related to the Immortal Department can enter this secluded and deep garden.

"His Majesty."

Lin Shuya walked quickly to the edge of the wine pool, unfolded the letter in his hand, and bowed to the figure soaking in the pool.

"explain."

The old man who was missing a front tooth had a flushed face. He turned his head drunkenly and used a barely perceptible frown to hide the pain in his eyes.

It is said that the human heart cannot be tested.

Even the most incorruptible person might occasionally have some distracting thoughts when seeing a warehouse full of gold and silver with no one guarding it.

Gold, silver and dirt are like this, let alone the immortality that even gods, Buddhas and immortals covet.

The majestic imperial aura is like the treasury full of gold and silver. The Human Emperor faces these things all day long. He only needs to stretch out his hand and he will have the opportunity to grab the path to transcendence.

But he just stayed drunk all day, never left the place, and never extended his hand.

It's a torture with no end in sight.

"Report from Great South Continent: General Zhennan Shen Yi has killed three-rank masters from the Bodhi Sect and the Three Immortal Sect. Now, Nan Xumi has become really angry. I don't know how, but he has gathered eight demon lords and plans to use them to attack South Continent at lightning speed."

As the leader of the Immortal Department, Lin Shuya knows how to stay calm and composed when faced with difficulties. This is a basic skill.

But there seemed to be some other meaning in his calm tone at this moment.

"What do you think?" The Human Emperor listened quietly, remained silent for a moment, and closed his eyes again.

"Logically speaking, killing the three religions' masters is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It needs to be planned in advance. However, the court has not received any news. Although the letter deliberately ignored this matter, Shuya speculates... maybe even Yang Mingli didn't know about this. It was done privately by General Nanyang."

Lin Shuya's eyes swept across the letter in his hand. Even though he used a speculative tone, his voice contained full confidence.

"I didn't ask you that."

The Emperor let out a long breath, seeming to be enjoying the bath very much: "Who is Nanyang?"

"That's the General Zhennan you appointed last time."

"Oh--"

The Human Emperor stretched out his voice, as if his brain was damaged by alcohol and his thoughts seemed a little unclear. After a long time, he said: "It's him..." "Are there any more people in the court who can be transferred to Great South Continent?" The Lord of the Revival has now reached the point of being so foolish that he doesn't even know who the strong men in the Divine Dynasty are.

"Most of the other three continents have already been conquered, and almost all the strong men in the court have been transferred there. The news from Great South Continent recently has only been good news, so no one has been left for them."

"That's it."

The Human Emperor responded indifferently, and then there was no further words.

Lin Shuya raised his eyes. Shenzhou was already in chaos, all because of the person in front of him. However, after hearing the news, the other party was still able to act as if it had nothing to do with him.

th.

"After all, he did these things privately..." Lin Shuya pursed his lips and mentioned Nanyang again.

"privately?"

The Human Emperor opened his eyes again, looked over curiously, and then a meaningful look emerged in his eyes.

"Shuya knows that there is no room for maneuver between the three religions and our dynasty, but we need time, even if it is just an empty title, to delay."

Lin Shuya finally expressed his thoughts.

What is restraining the three religions now is not the powerful people of the Divine Dynasty, but the justice of the world.

As long as it is not logical, they dare not act rashly.

In short, if Great Nanzhou is willing to make this matter public, admit its fault openly, and then use Nanyang as the price, it can finally announce it to the world and ask for help from the three religions.

Even if the eight demon lords were summoned by them, as long as they did not want to leave a bad impression in the hearts of the common people, the group of Bodhisattvas and Immortals had to kill these demon lords even if they had to hold their noses.

Naturally, doing so would not only result in the loss of a capable general, but would also leave the people with the impression that the Divine Dynasty was incompetent, which would just suit the wishes of the three religions. But at least... Great South Continent would not fall into the tragic situation of devastation.

"Tsk."

The Human Emperor withdrew his gaze and stared quietly at the sky, wondering what he was thinking.

"What does your majesty think?" Lin Shuya gritted his teeth and asked stubbornly.

"I think it's worth a reward."

The Human Emperor suddenly laughed loudly, his laughter was piercing, and seemed to carry a bit of sarcasm and contempt.

In the eyes of this aging leader of the human world, Lin Shuya seemed to be stripped naked, and no thoughts could be hidden from him.

"Let alone killing a Bodhisattva, if he can kill a true Buddha someday, I will make him the Great General of the Nation!"

As the man finished speaking, Lin Shuya's face turned red.

Are the lives of ordinary people so worthless in the eyes of these high and mighty people?

Even if they died completely, it was not as important as venting their anger? !
"Shu Ya."

At this moment, the Human Emperor stopped laughing, and his eyes became clear for a moment: "Do you think that the pigs in the pen, being slaughtered by others, are alive?"

Faced with this inexplicable digression.

Lin Shuya was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Alive is alive, dead is dead. As long as you can move, eat, drink, defecate and urinate, you are naturally alive. This is the law of nature. How can it be changed because of a thought?"

"..."

The Emperor listened quietly and fell silent again. After a long while, he gently waved his hand and said, "Go."

……

Jianyang Prefecture, Shen’s residence.

Shen Yi stayed in the courtyard for many days, which was rare. Apart from comprehending the incomplete fruition left by the Five Bodhisattvas, he sat idly under the locust tree all day.

Monk Zhikong has already rushed back.

But surprisingly, even though the news has been brought to the Demon Slaying Division of Great Nanzhou, no one has come to Jianyang Prefecture so far.

This can only prove one thing.

That is what everyone did before. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, they would try their best to grasp it. Shen Yi was that glimmer of hope in their eyes.

But facing the current situation, even General Nanyang seems unable to change anything.

It is better for each of us to do our own thing well, instead of making each other unhappy and creating an embarrassing situation of blaming each other under such circumstances.

"They don't feel it's your responsibility, it's just too much pressure."

Monk Zhikong was worried that Lord Shen might misunderstand, so he quietly explained behind him. After all, he rarely saw Lord Shen looking so relaxed.

"It doesn't matter."

Shen Yi picked up the teacup and moistened her lips slightly.

He doesn't care about these things.

Besides, given the current situation, there is no time to have any distracting thoughts.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi closed his eyes again.

Although it seems like I have nothing to do these days, it is actually because I have to keep in touch with my Qianzu Wulong brothers at all times.

The brothers' hasty reports gradually formed a picture in Shen Yi's mind.

Within the Seven Holy Lakes.

After the Bodhi Sect members left, the Southern Emperor did not rush to arrange how to conquer Great Nanzhou.

Instead, he settled down several new demon lords one by one.

What followed was endless conversation day and night.

It was as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years, rather than a demon army that had temporarily gathered together to attack the Divine Dynasty.

We talked about our background and life events.

He even asked the Thousand-legged Oolong brothers why they used such strange means to conceal their identities, but the two brothers perfunctorily answered him with the habit of many years.

Fortunately, the Southern Emperor had no intention of digging into the matter.

When the conversation was almost over, it finally revealed its true meaning.

"I will not hide it from you."

"I have noticed something strange since I returned from the wilderness. No matter how I arrange things, the Divine Dynasty always seems to receive the news in advance."

"I'm not saying that there are spies from the Divine Dynasty among you or among us."

The Southern Emperor had a calm expression, but the bodies of the Thousand-legged Black Dragon brothers, hidden behind the Divine Void Technique, paused slightly.

"After all, this news could have come from me or from that great sect. Time is running out, and I am unable to distinguish them one by one."

"But please understand."

As soon as the words fell, several streams of light flashed from the Southern Emperor's body and fell into the hands of the major demon lords. "This is my arrangement for you. Each of you has a copy. You can only read it by yourself and you must not reveal a single word to each other."

"If something goes wrong then..." The Southern Emperor's eyes gradually turned cold: "This Emperor will also have an idea and know where to start."

"..."

In Jianyang Mansion, Shen Yi slowly opened his eyes.

Even he had not expected that when he was sure of winning, the Southern Emperor could still be so cautious.

He is worthy of being called an old monster who can survive until now.
