Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 743 Farewell to Nanzhou, the Road to Escape
It's late at night.

The city of Liulifu was brightly lit, and the streets were crowded with people.

Even though the people of the Divine Dynasty are knowledgeable and far superior to the creatures in the remote land of Hongze, they are just ordinary people after all.

For mortals, it is difficult to tell how advanced the cultivation of demons is. The most intuitive and rough feeling is the size of their bodies.

The demonic body of the Southern Emperor was so huge that one could not see its end at a glance. It even made people feel that if it fell down, the entire Liuli Mansion would be reduced to ruins in an instant.

Therefore, even though several days had passed, the people were still immersed in the fear and excitement of surviving the disaster.

Such a huge monster was finally pierced through the body by the divine sword transformed from the raging sky fire.

Those who have not seen it with their own eyes cannot imagine how shocking this scene is.

The name of Nanyang has been passed down from mouth to mouth, and has been revered as a true god. If this trend continues, it is only a matter of time before a temple is built to worship him.

Compared to the noisy and bustling outside, the government hall was eerily quiet at this moment.

The three Zhennan generals all sat there in silence.

But he was not as majestic as before.

Yang Mingli unconsciously flipped through the memorials on the table, his eyes distracted, and it was obvious that he didn't read a single word.

Beside him, Yan Lanting sat on a chair, leaning forward dully, stretching out his palms, rubbing his old face over and over again, like an old farmer squatting on the ridge of a field. He didn't look like the General Zhennan at all.

As for Feng Xi, she was sitting back with her eyes closed, resting. Her expressionless pretty face showed faint signs of aging.

"..."

Wushan quietly walked into the hall and replaced the tea that had not been touched and had already gone cold.

He looked at the three adults who seemed to have lost their souls, and moved his lips but did not say anything to persuade them.

The evil that happened that day still lingers in my mind.

But what made these three become like this was not the terror of the Southern Emperor. After all, the three Generals Zhennan were not young guys who had just started out. They already knew in their hearts how big the gap was between them and the Southern Emperor, so they would not be frustrated by it.

The real reason was the word "Buddha" that the Southern Emperor shouted at that time.

The other party immediately revealed why their own General Nanyang was able to obtain so much information in advance and why he had such a high level of cultivation that he could look down on Nanzhou.

Because he is a member of the Bodhi sect, and a Bodhisattva of a highly respected status.

exactly……

He should be a messenger from the Demon Slayer Bureau. In order to save Nanzhou, he took a huge risk and joined the big sect.

As for when.

Wushan gritted his teeth and thought of the Bodhisattva who was the last to arrive when Bodhi was trying to kill him.

Under such circumstances, he was able to wake up safely in the Divine Dynasty.

Perhaps from that moment on, Lord Nanyang had already entered the Bodhi religion.

The news of the other party's fight with the Southern Emperor will soon spread... Although Wushan didn't know much about these major sects, he could still imagine how they would treat a "traitor".

This is exactly what the three Zhennan generals are worried about.

If Lord Nanyang cannot return safely, I'm afraid these three lords will never be able to let it go in their lifetime.

"Ugh."

Wushan turned around and walked slowly out of the hall.

On the stairs, Ye Lan held the hilt of the sword at his waist with his hand, staring blankly at the sky, motionless, like a stone sculpture.

“If only I hadn’t left the Divine Dynasty at that time.” Wushan stood beside him and whispered guiltily.

"..."

Ye Lan was silent for a long time, still without looking back, and just said softly: "He never mentioned these things."

Hearing this, Wushan was stunned for a moment.

Lord Nanyang has done so many things, but he has never told anyone about them.

Even before the Southern Emperor came over, the other party had patted him on the shoulder, which meant that Lord Nanyang had always kept the grudge between him and the Southern Emperor in mind.

When he finally killed the Southern Emperor, those slightly arrogant words were also helping Wushan fulfill a wish.

How could such a person blame himself?

Thinking of this, Wushan looked up with emotion and also looked towards the sky. At this moment, a flash of light flashed across his pupils.

The burly fat man trembled all over and said in surprise: "You're back!"

Before he finished speaking, three figures suddenly appeared from the hall behind him. Their movements were so swift that they no longer looked dispirited.

The light fell to the ground, revealing a familiar figure in black clothes.

Ye Lan had already walked up to him, staring straight at that handsome face. She had personally witnessed him grow from a subordinate to a junior fellow apprentice, then to an uncle-master, to the immediate superior, and now to the ancestor.

In a short period of time, their relationship changed too many times.

For a moment, she didn't know what to call him. She just instinctively breathed faster and choked up a little, and asked the most important question for everyone: "Are you okay?"

"..."

As soon as Shen Yi came back, he was stared at by several pairs of eyes.

He raised his eyebrows slightly uncomfortably. He hadn't felt a similar feeling for a long time since leaving Hongze.

After thinking about it, Shen Yi nodded: "It's okay for now."

The moment they heard the young man's words, the tense strings in their hearts finally relaxed a little.

"If someone reports the news from here back to Nanxumi, you..." Yan Lanting asked worriedly. The people of Bodhi Sect were not fools. If Nanzhou could not be conquered for a long time, they would definitely hold someone accountable.

"I'll kill everyone who knows about this. This should delay the process for a while, long enough for me to leave Nanzhou."

Shen Yi walked towards the hall. The matter in Nanzhou had come to an end, so there was no need to hide anything from everyone and make people worry for nothing.

"..."

The joy on the faces of the three Zhennan generals froze instantly.

They stared at the figure in front of them with complicated eyes. It was hard to imagine what kind of mental state someone was in to say such terrible words in such a calm way.

You have to know that the other party is a Bodhisattva, and the people who come out to do the work together must be other Bodhisattvas.

Those great masters of great religions who were above the mortal world were actually included in just one sentence and did not even deserve to have a name.

"Are you leaving Nanzhou?"

The first person to come to her senses was Ye Lan, who had the lowest cultivation level. After all, she had spent the longest time with Shen Yi and was almost accustomed to his way of doing things.

Although it was expected, given what our ancestor Shen had done, he would definitely not be able to stay in Nanzhou.

But when it really came to this moment, Ye Lan couldn't help but show a bit of reluctance in her eyes.

"Let's go to the imperial capital first. You have to come with me."

Shen Yi did not give the other party any room for choice.

After all, for what he had done, Nanxumi had to at least send out the Great Freedom Bodhisattva to investigate, and people like Ye Lan and Master Zhikong who knew a lot about the whole process were definitely the first targets Nanxumi would look for.

And they are not like General Zhennan, who has a lot of skills and the Demon Slaying Order to protect him, and can mobilize the imperial energy when necessary. If they are really caught, I am afraid they will not even have the ability to ask for death.

Whether for his own sake or for their lives, Shen Yi would never let these people stay in Nanzhou.

"By the way, send a message to the people in the mountains and ask them to migrate on their own. It would be best if they all go into seclusion and don't get involved in anything anymore."

Facing the young man's slightly overbearing words, Ye Lan did not show any dissatisfaction in her eyes. Instead, she said with joy: "I know! I will do it right away."

Watching Ye Lan turn around and leave quickly.

Feng Xi then walked forward and pursed her lips. Judging from Shen Yi's attempt to erase all traces, the situation might not be as optimistic as he said.

"Nanzhou should be safe for the time being. You don't have to worry too much. Just stay calm and guard it."

Shen Yi looked at the beautiful woman and said something to comfort her.

Regardless of their strength, the fact that these three Daluo Immortals, when faced with the Southern Emperor, their first reaction was to lift him up instead of turning around and running for their lives, is already worthy of our respect.

"What we are worried about now is not Nanzhou..." Feng Xi smiled bitterly. Almost all the Bodhisattvas who came down the mountain and the big monsters who appeared in the world were killed. The entire Twenty-Seven Prefectures have not suffered from monster disasters for a long time.

Compared with the other three continents, it is not an exaggeration to call today's Great South Continent a paradise on earth.

She shook her head and said with emotion: "Since we were briefly colleagues, please let me take you a little further. Once we get to the Imperial City, it will save you a lot of trouble."

If they didn't see the other party leave safely with their own eyes, he and the two old men would probably not be able to rest easy.

"Then thank you, senior."

Shen Yi pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

He would leave a batch of stabilizing stones in the twenty-seven prefectures. These generals who guard the south had just been seriously injured, so there was really no need to force them to stay in Nanzhou.

"Wait! I have another question."

Yang Mingli finally found an opportunity to interrupt. Under the puzzled gazes of the others, he licked his dry lips and said, "Can I ask what your honorific title is in the Bodhi Sect?"

"..."

Shen Yi looked over and probably knew what the other party was struggling with. He smiled helplessly: "Subdue the dragon and subdue the tiger."

"hiss--"

Hearing these four words, Yang Mingli gritted his teeth and pulled out a book from his sleeve.

It's right! It's all right!
He had always felt that recent events were full of weirdness. With his many years of experience, he could accurately judge every major event, which made him almost doubt whether there was something wrong with his brain.

Yang Mingli opened the first page of the book and pointed tremblingly at the three names at the top.

"The Great Ming King who subdues dragons and tigers is you, and the General Nanyang is you... If I am not mistaken, this Taixu Dan Emperor should also be you!"

Taixu Danhuang came from Shenxu Mountain and was a rare genius.

As everyone knows, Ye Lan and Shen Yi had already joined Shenxu Mountain a long time ago. The tone of the other party's order just now was clearly that of the head of a lineage.

Such a young talent naturally cannot be the insect demon of the ancestor Shenxu, so the other party’s identity is already very obvious.

“So, the first three of the geniuses that I asked the Demon Slayer Division to investigate are all from our family…”

Having said that, Yang Mingli's mouth was already dry.

Seeing the old man's excitement, Shen Yi glanced at the name on the back of the booklet: "That's about right."

To be honest, he still felt a little sympathy for this Mr. Sheep.

After all, Yang Mingli was the first person to reveal most of his identity. It can be seen from the fact that he suddenly asked about the title of Bodhisattva that even if he did not admit it, the other party should have guessed it.

However, such a smart person suffered setbacks in his judgment repeatedly because of his own reasons... This was undoubtedly a serious blow to his self-confidence.

"See? It's not my fault!"

After getting a positive response, Yang Mingli blew his beard and looked at Yan Lanting beside him with glaring eyes.

"..."

Yan Lanting didn't want to pay attention to him. When he looked at Shen Yi again, he felt even more terrified.

In other words, from beginning to end, there never existed any story of two peerless geniuses separately defeating eight young warriors from two sects.

Outside the Beiliu River, the opponent slaughtered sixteen people including Tianwu Xuanwu by himself, and also played a trick on the third-grade strong man who was watching on the side.

Of course, the three old guys were also deceived.

I really believed the nonsense that the two men fought to exhaustion and Nanyang benefited from it.

"I don't know what you're so excited about."

Feng Xi rolled her eyes at Yang Mingli. If Yan Lanting had not come out to protect him during the incident with the Jade Pool Ape Monster, and if Yang had really planned to punish Nanyang... then the twenty-seven prefectures would have been devastated by now.

"..."

Shen Yi watched the bickering among them quietly, and suddenly he felt as if he had returned to Daqian in his dream.

Old man Chen Qiankun, after the demon disaster in Qingzhou was resolved, suddenly turned into this naughty old boy.

He quite likes this feeling, it makes him feel inexplicably relaxed.

It’s a pity that now is not the time to relax. When I can save my life, I can find some time to go back to Qingzhou.

"Goodbye, everyone." Shen Yi bowed slowly.

The few people who had been noisy just now suddenly became quiet.

The two old men remained silent, and finally could only sigh deeply, and returned the greeting with their hands, saying softly: "Thank goodness for you... Goodbye."

The trouble in Nanzhou was not resolved, but instead shifted from the burden on the common people of the twenty-seven prefectures to that one person.

People like me can't help much. The only thing we can do is to take care of the peace and tranquility for Nanyang that he sacrificed his life for.

……

a few days later.

A fire dragon chariot rose into the sky from the Liuli Palace and flew straight to the north. The raging and burning dragon soul let out a long and high-pitched roar, and in the blink of an eye it traveled thousands of miles and left Nanzhou.

There were only a few people in the car.

Feng Xi prepared a memorial that recorded in detail everything that had happened in Nanzhou, and it had the seals of the three generals who guarded the south.

This is the only thing Nanzhou can prepare for Shen Yi.

With this memorial, the other party should be able to obtain any reward they want from the Emperor.

Ye Lan and Monk Zhikong were brought up and sat on Shen Yi's left and right respectively. The arrangements on Shenxu Mountain were almost complete. Taoist Qianfeng should lead the disciples from the eight main peaks and hundreds of other outer peaks to evacuate Nanzhou before Nanxumi could react.

Apart from the name of Nanyang, Shen Yi did not leave any trace in Great Nanzhou.

He closed his eyes and dozed off, feeling the fire dragon chariot beneath him.

The magic weapon is a good one, but it’s a pity that after leaving the Divine Dynasty, it can no longer be used easily.

I do not know how long it has been.

As the car stopped suddenly, Shen Yi opened his eyes and looked at the vague outline of the imperial city in front of him.
