Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 729 Do your best
"There's a letter from the mountains."

The sudden stream of light that flashed into the courtyard interrupted Shen Yi's thoughts.

Ye Lan landed steadily, his face showing a bit of anxiety: "It is said that there is news coming from Beizhou, and they want to gather several immortal gate masters to discuss important matters. The peak masters think that this is a serious matter, and they may not be able to fool them alone. Please hurry back as soon as possible."

"..."

Before he finished speaking, Monk Zhikong's expression changed drastically.

Even though he was only a small practitioner in the Bodhi Religion, he knew that Beizhou was the place where the Three Pure Ones preached. It could be said that it was the main place for the Three Immortals to live and practice.

Now that the Three Immortal Sect's attention has fallen on Nanzhou, they will inevitably notice the death of ancestor Shenxu.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked to the side.

Monk Zhikong had seen many people who could cause trouble, but to do so at the same time, he had provoked the Bodhi Sect, the Three Immortals Sect, and that group of demons. Each of these was a fatal matter, and all of these things happened to happen at the same time by coincidence.

Even the most determined person might have the idea of ​​just cutting his own neck to feel more at ease.

However, Shen Yi just listened quietly and fell into deep thought, without showing any sign of panic.

The two did not dare to interrupt and could only sigh in their hearts that the introverted young man at the beginning was now more calm and his performance had even surpassed those generals of Zhennan who had been in high positions for many years.

"Got it." Shen Yi slowly stood up.

"Are we going back now?" Ye Lan walked over quickly.

As a titled general, she is competent enough.

Even when Old Yan split up the family, the risk she took far exceeded the imperial energy reward she received, and with Shenxu Mountain as a retreat, Ye Lan never thought of leaving.

But everything depends on the situation.

The current situation of the Divine Dynasty is obviously not something that can be saved by one person's strength. In this situation, she suddenly didn't want Shen Yi to continue to stay in this mess.

The other party has done enough.

What is more important now is to deal with the elders of the Three Immortal Sect in Beizhou first, cover up the matter of "betraying the teacher and destroying the ancestors", and save his life before talking about other things.

"You... don't owe the court anything."

Ye Lan recalled the subconscious reactions of those people when Monk Zhikong delivered the secret letter to Old Yan that day. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his eyes seriously.

After these words were spoken, even Zhikong, who cared about the common people, looked over with a complicated expression.

If things cannot be done, it is a better choice to keep yourself useful.

"When did I ever say I owed them?"

Under the gaze of the two, Shen Yi smiled silently.

"That……"

Ye Lan took a deep breath, and saw the young man in front of him take out the jade slip, record his breath and hand it over: "Send the message first, it's a bit too late."

The content of the jade slip was very simple, it was the one that the two Qianzu Wulong brothers received.

As for whether it is true or false, it can only be left to others to judge for themselves.

Although Shen Yi possesses the abilities of both an immortal and a bodhisattva, he is not a true god or Buddha. He is merely a cultivator and cannot be good at everything.

He didn't even mention the matter of Shenxu Mountain.

After Ye Lan and Monk Zhikong were stunned for a moment, they could only watch the thin young man push the door and enter the room.

There were no lofty words, just a casual smile, but it contained a life-and-death posture that even all the people from the Demon Slaying Division gathered together could not muster, leaving no way of retreat!
"Master Shen...is more worthy of that lotus platform than the many monks in Nanxumi."

Monk Zhikong clasped his palms together, muttered something to himself, then bowed respectfully towards the closed door.

And inside the house.

Shen Yi sat quietly on the edge of the bed when a six-winged flying insect buzzed out.

His mood was not as calm as it seemed.

The first thing Shen Yi did when he received the news was to communicate with the ancestor Shenxu through his soul, to see if the other party could use his body of stone and the help of the Shenxu Dao Fruit to trick him.

However, the answer is no.

If someone really came from Beizhou, he must be a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, a top giant who transcends the two worlds.

Trying to deceive the eyes of such a being and trying to deceive the Southern Emperor are two completely different concepts.

After knowing what was going on, Shen Yi calmed down.

Like he said before, there's no time left.

When it came to such a big event as conquering Nanzhou, the Southern Emperor actually only gave the Demon Lords a mere half a month to react, and only suddenly issued the order when the day was approaching.

If the time for travel is taken into account, the possibility of these demon lords leaking secrets can be completely avoided.

And the order that the Qianzu Wulong brothers received... was again to Songfeng Mansion, the old place where the three demon clans had suffered great losses.

As for who will be traveling with you and how many people are there in total, you will only know once you get there.

The Southern Emperor's actions made Shen Yi's most commonly used method ineffective.

With only half a month's time, let alone going back to fool a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, it would be too late even to rush back to Shenxu Mountain.

In that case, just stop thinking about it and focus on doing the job at hand.

As for the life-saving matter mentioned by Ye Lan and others...

Shen Yi looked out the window in silence. He had actually made up his mind long before he left Nanxumi and planned to go to Baji Valley.

He really doesn't owe the Divine Dynasty anything.

But he had to work hard to bring the people of Hongze to Shenzhou, the legendary paradise on earth.

Among them were Senior Xuan Qing, several leaders of Nanhong, and Leader Banshan, who were willing to risk their lives to play with him, as well as old friends like Jiang Qiulan, Nie Jun, and Li Qingfeng, who had been with him since the precious land of Nanyang.

Now they are scattered all over the Divine Dynasty.

In this case, Shen Yi had to watch helplessly as this fairyland was destroyed.

I probably can't do this kind of thing.

Just do your best.

……

Da Nanzhou, Songfeng Prefecture.

"Half Moon?!"

Feng Xi stepped out and took the jade slip.

"Half a month was the news before I came here... Counting the days, there should only be four hours left."

Ye Lan's face was unusually calm. She took two steps back respectfully. After leaving Jianyang, although she worked hard day and night, her heart was quietly tied to that deserted courtyard.

The young man who had avenged his master's blood feud because of the Thousand Tribulations Golden Pill now seemed to be ready to be buried with the Divine Dynasty.

Whenever he thought of this, Ye Lan would recall the time when they first met at the land temple in Jianyang Prefecture. If only he could have pressed him to death as a demon slayer because of the fact that he was too brutal and cruel when dealing with the incident where Taoist Qingmei of the Yulong Sect ordered his disciples to bring magic weapons to intercept the rain.

Be a bad guy and make them disgusted with the Divine Dynasty.

Then perhaps there wouldn't be anything like what's happening today.

"..."

Feng Xi no longer had the energy to pay attention to anything unusual about Ye Lan. She looked back with her red lips trembling slightly.

Inside the hall were Yang Mingli and Yan Lanting.

Fortunately, after the last discussion, the two of them had not had time to leave this place.

There is no need to gather more people at this moment.

Can the three of them really stop the eight-headed demon lord with just themselves?

"Another message from General Nanyang?"

Perhaps the last incident dealt Yang Mingli a huge blow, so now he looked much calmer.

After getting Feng Xi's affirmative response.

The old man, who looked old, straightened his clothes and stood up. "His information has never been wrong. In this case, let's get going."

The simple words "get on the road" seemed to contain other meanings. Yan Lanting smiled helplessly and stood up as well. The two had fought for most of their lives, but at this moment, their thoughts were surprisingly consistent.

No matter what method you choose to assist the Divine Dynasty and save Great Nanzhou.

But in the final analysis, the two of them have enjoyed the royal energy of the human world for so many years, and in the end they should give back to the human world.

The three Zhennan generals all did not ask about Shen Yi's news.

Perhaps everyone has similar thoughts as Ye Lan in their hearts.

It would actually be good if we could leave a glimmer of hope.

If you ask and find out that the other person is also in danger, that would be a cause for regret.

"I'll go as well."

At this moment, a clear voice sounded behind them.

They looked back in confusion.

Ye Lan stretched out his hand, with a red thread wrapped around his fingers and a bright yellow jade token hanging from it.

"He even left this thing to you."

Yan Lanting raised his eyebrows, and a rare smile appeared on his old face.

The next moment, several figures instantly passed through the sky and turned into a long rainbow. The strong aura shocked the entire city!
Everyone knows that there is a powerful man sitting in Nanzhou, protecting the Divine Dynasty.

However, due to the fact that the Demon Slaying Division was once not allowed to be seen in the light, this group of people who are comparable to Bodhisattvas and Immortals are all unknown.

Now that they have revealed their presence, they are also indirectly announcing to the world how critical the situation in South Continent is.

Apart from Songfeng Mansion, the government offices in the surrounding prefectures also gradually felt the presence of this soaring aura. The officials' faces darkened, and they immediately put down their affairs and hurried on their way to hold the equally yellow seal.

The news spread from one city to another.

Soon, the imperial energy from more than a dozen prefectures in most of Nanzhou became surging and gathered towards Songfeng Prefecture.

Just a jade slip from Shen Yi was enough to make so many cities empty and completely abandon their defenses.

This is enough to show how much the Demon Slaying Division trusts General Nanyang.

For a cultivator who has reached the third rank, hundreds of years are just a blink of an eye, but these short four hours made the several generals of Zhennan feel like they were living a year.

The sky gradually dimmed, and the night fell like a huge mouth that was ready to devour its prey. It was so dark that it extinguished all the bright lights in the city.

Even those who were the bravest were as obedient as children at this moment. They curled up in the cold quilts and closed their eyes tightly. The only sound they could hear was the footsteps of soldiers crossing the street. They didn't know if they could see the sun the next day when they opened their eyes again.

The Daluo Immortal could see through the night, but he couldn't catch the breath of the same realm in the dead of night.

Therefore, even people like Yan Lanting and Yang Mingli, at this moment, rarely felt the same anxiety as ordinary people.

They stared at the sky, unwilling to miss any sign of something unusual.

There was dead silence on the city wall.

Until suddenly, a rumbling thunder was heard from somewhere far away.

That is the breath of the giant.

The eyes of the two old men suddenly turned cold, while Feng Xi narrowed his eyes slightly and took out the piece of paulownia wood.

Behind the three people, Ye Lan slowly drew out his sword. His white teeth had already bitten through his lips, and the corners of his lips were bright red.

Shen Yi gave her the strength to stand before the Immortal Bodhisattva.

Accordingly, she must muster the courage to match her strength.

With the realm of a fifth-grade Taiyi Immortal, he drew his sword towards the Demon Lord!

That heavy breathing even stirred up the imperial energy in the sky. The next moment, demonic energy that was even redder than the corners of Ye Lan's lips rushed up into the sky and tore through the imperial energy like a pillar of heaven.

"One."

Yan Lanting muttered to himself, and as his voice spread, a second blood-red pillar of heaven followed, and then the third... and then it stopped abruptly!

"Only three of you?"

Yang Mingli frowned and looked at his two colleagues with some confusion.

Even before the Demon-Slaying Order was issued, the aura revealed by these three great demons at this moment was enough to destroy half of Nanzhou with ease.

But this is obviously quite different from the number mentioned in General Nanyang’s secret letter.

But Yang Mingli did not get a response. He only saw his colleague's pupils suddenly shrink. He instinctively turned his head to look, and then his expression was stunned.

The two powerful demonic powers that first pierced the sky began to twist, like two giant dragons covering the sky and the sun, and the last one turned into a bird of prey.

What really surprised the Zhennan generals was that the three demonic powers were inexplicably entangled together.

Two dragons swallowing a bird!

The night sky was torn apart and turned into a sunset glow, winding for tens of thousands of miles.

At the same time, the thunderous breathing turned into deafening howls and wails, and the turbulent breath raged across the earth like a gale. Even though it was an unknown distance away, the majestic Songfeng City began to tremble violently, and the imperial aura on the city walls quickly began to dissipate.

Yan Lanting suddenly stepped out with his right foot, stabilizing the city, but he had no intention of leaving the city: "Don't be fooled!"

Although I don’t know what these demon lords are doing, I must not fall into their trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain.

This brutal fight lasted for the entire night.

The Zhennan generals were all confused. At the last cry of a bird, the two dragons with powerful demonic powers bit the wings of the bird monster and tore it apart fiercely!
"Roar!"

The scarlet demonic power rained down upon the world, announcing the fall of a demon lord.

Then... the world returned to peace in such a strange way.

The two long dragons of demonic power never appeared again, as if they had turned around and left.

The morning light is breaking.

The figures of several people on the city wall gradually became clear.

Yan Lanting maintained his forward-stepping posture, Yang Mingli clenched his five fingers, and Feng Xi slowly put down the paulownia wood in his hand.

Ye Lan was still gripping the hilt of the sword, so much so that his palm felt a little numb.

They stared blankly into the distance, still unable to believe that this disaster was over.

“Why… is it like this?”

Yan Lanting's eyes suddenly turned red and he looked back.

No one responded.

But everyone knew that in Nanzhou today, if there was anything strange happening, as long as they thought of General Nanyang, they would be able to guess it.

What's more, the news of the monsters attacking Songfeng Mansion was sent by the other party.

But Yan Lanting didn't show any joy on his face. Instead, he roared again, spitting out his saliva: "Why are there only three of them?!"

"..." Yang Mingli and Feng Xi's faces felt numb and their bodies were stiff.

If General Nanyang's information is correct, it proves that there are at least five more demon lords who have rushed to Da Nanzhou tonight, but they are not in Songfeng Mansion.

So where are they?

The reason why Yan Lanting lost his composure like this, besides wanting to know where the remaining demon lords were, was obviously because he wanted to know where Shen Yi was.

Clang.

The sword suddenly fell to the ground.

Facing the gazes of the three Zhennan generals, Ye Lan stumbled back, feeling as if she was about to faint. Only now did she realize why Shen Yi asked her to deliver the letter.

In the entire Great South Continent, whether it is the Demon Slaying Bureau or the court officials, the only one who can grasp the whereabouts of the demon clan is this man.

"Jianyang Prefecture..." At the moment when tears welled up in her eyes, the girl finally leaned against the city wall, her whole body weak.

Upon hearing these three words, Yan Lanting suddenly flew up, and without saying a word, his figure disappeared at the end of the sky.

Only Feng Xi and Yang Mingli were left looking at each other.

During the night when they were standing there stupidly, Jianyang Mansion might not be as peaceful as Songfeng Mansion.
