Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 765: Rules in Name Only

The night is deep and the fire is still burning.

The evil spirit that could easily turn an entire prefecture into a dead zone failed to cause even the slightest ripple in Kaiyuan Prefecture.

Shen Yi paced among the dots of light. Compared to when he first arrived, there was much less fishy smell and no faint sobs in his ears, which made him feel a little more at ease.

Although he looks like a loner, he just likes the taste of this worldly world.

Walking slowly like this, soon Shen Yi returned to the top of Tianta Mountain.

He stood on the edge of the cliff and stretched his arms lazily.

Although this is only the first wave of attack, after dawn, there will soon be an uproar in Beizhou and Kaiyuan Prefecture will become the target of public criticism, but it is always good to have a good start.

"My Lord, it's all resolved."

The Southern Emperor returned quietly, leaving behind four rotten corpses.

It was not surprised at all that its master had returned earlier than it, and that he had been able to kill it before the other party's cultivation was perfect. Now that he had achieved success in both the immortal and traveler paths, it was lucky that the deer monster could survive the midnight.

"Go and rest."

Shen Yi nodded his chin slightly and looked at the front panel.

The four great demons before offered a total of thirty-four thousand kalpas of demon life, which, together with the incense and imperial energy accumulated during this period, helped his Shenxu Dao Fruit successfully break through the ninety-two number.

If we add the more than 8,000 tribulations of the deer demon, it is enough to complete this journey.

The current tranquility is indeed comfortable, but the day will always dawn, and it is time to prepare for it.

Shen Yi closed his eyes and looked inward.

The fruit position of Subduing Dragons and Taming Tigers is the most masculine, and it takes the meaning of heaven and earth, and is as solid as a rock. However, the fruit position of Shenxu Dao takes a completely opposite path. Until now, it does not even have a specific shape.

The two are supposed to conflict with each other.

But Shen Yi quietly discovered a glimmer of opportunity, and used the Shenxu Dao Fruit to cover the golden body's image. At this moment, the thick black clouds were like the night before his eyes. As wisps of Taixu origin merged into them, they no longer wrapped around the golden body, but slowly rose up and then quickly spread out.

Beyond heaven and earth is the universe.

The black clouds became deeper and wider until they enveloped everything within. From then on, there was a world inside and stars outside. The clear and turbid were separated, yet complemented each other.

Until the last ray of origin seeped into it, this boundless universe finally took shape.

This was the second time Shen Yi had entered this realm, but he was still staring closely at the changes. Sure enough, in a flash, he captured the supreme Dao pattern again.

"universe……"

It was also fleeting. Shen Yi stared at the endless black clouds and suddenly felt a little empty in his heart.

What followed was the desire for the Great Way.

After a long time, Shen Yi came back to his senses. He clenched his hands gently. Given his current situation, nothing could be rushed.

When he observed the situation inside his body again, he discovered something quite outrageous.

Although he could sense the fruit position and the Tao fruit respectively, he was now unable to separate these two paths.

"Two merged into one?"

Shen Yi was silent for a moment, then a look of joy appeared on his face.

In this way, he could mobilize two forces of calamity at the same time, and he wouldn't have to worry about being discovered by others, which would be of great help in what he was going to do next.

He opened his eyes and looked at the faint white line in the sky.

Watching the night slowly fade away like the tide.

……

Kaiyuan Prefecture was as peaceful as ever.

It's like nothing happened.

But the twenty-eight prefectures in Northern Continent were in an uproar in an instant.

Everyone knew that Senior Sister Youyao had already taken action, and they were even prepared for this Senior Sister to become the first disciple of the Three Immortals Sect today. However, nothing happened that night, and not even a ripple was caused in the entire Kaiyuan Prefecture.

"What's happening here……"

"Could it be that Senior Sister Youyao has softened her heart?"

The disciples were talking about it, and even many of the elders in the sect were a little surprised.

They don't feel that this is a failure.

After all, many people pretended to pass by Kaiyuan Prefecture unintentionally, but found that in this huge city, there was not even any trace of the fight. Even the refugees looked normal, and they did not look like they had experienced a demon disaster at all.

"..."

Venerable Qixian stood in the Dongji Emperor Temple, respectfully adding three new incense sticks to the statue of his master, but his mind was obviously not here.

He stared at the curling green smoke, and his brows slowly furrowed.

Based on Qixian's understanding of Youyao, this woman is not the kind of person who speaks without thinking. On the contrary, she is very clear about what she wants and would never joke about her reputation.

Soft-hearted? You must be kidding.

A person who wants to be an Immortal Emperor must try his best every time he makes a move and cannot afford to make any mistakes.

To put it bluntly, in today's Beizhou, there are not many cultivators who have reached the peak of the Nine-Nine Transformations, but there are definitely more than just the three of them. But why can the three of them occupy four prefectures while the rest of their fellow disciples with similar cultivation can only occupy one prefecture? There are even people like Lingxu Dong and Yunmiao who don't even have a temple yet.

This reputation is earned through hard battles.

Whenever their group suffered a defeat, the other fellow disciples would become more active. As the saying goes, two fists cannot beat four hands. If there is no need, even if they are really a tiger, why bother to attract a pack of wolves?

Therefore, things were definitely not as the other disciples imagined.

"It's weird."

Master Qixian closed his eyes, and the figure sitting quietly on the top of Tianta Mountain yesterday appeared in his mind.

This cultivator from South Continent is probably not as simple as I imagined.

He was previously thought to be reckless, but now it seems that he is quite calm and composed.

The one who comes is not kind.

Youyao wants to seize the position of the chief disciple of the Three Immortals Sect, and there must be more than just Master Qixian who is eyeing her.

At the same time, at the border of Kaiyuan Prefecture.

There was a man in green robes walking around. Although he looked plain, he had a natural aura that made him stand out from the crowd when he stood in front of several disciples.

"Senior Brother Li Shan, look!"

A disciple discovered a clue, took a few steps forward, and pointed to a depression that was dyed red by the demon's blood.

Obviously, it was not a case of mercy. Kaiyuan Prefecture had indeed experienced a demonic disaster last night. However, it seemed that these demons had just stepped into the place and were killed cleanly and neatly.

Li Shan just glanced casually, then retracted his gaze and looked back at the farmhouse in the distance.

Compared to this evil disaster, he seemed to be more concerned about other things.

"Senior Brother Li Shan?" Seeing that he was in a trance, the disciple couldn't help but remind him in confusion.

"call."

Li Shan let out a long sigh and said with emotion: "In terms of character, I am not as good as this Master Taixu."

"Why do you say that, Senior Brother?" The confusion in the disciples' eyes was mixed with a bit of surprise. You know, the Senior Brother in front of them was one of the three most outstanding geniuses in the sect. Even if this Taixu Dan Emperor really withstood the attack of Senior Sister Youyao, it would not have caused him to sigh like that.

"Look."

Li Shan looked at the refugees who were carrying buckets and chatting and laughing, and said calmly: "In the entire North Continent, all my fellow disciples are racking their brains to think about how to seize the emperor's energy, even I am no exception." "Whether it is controlling water and food, or sending big monsters into the city, it is all to make their lives more difficult, so that they will know that the human emperor is unjust and the immortal sect is kind."

"But this person did the opposite." Li Shan put away his smile.

"This...what's the explanation for this?" The disciples stood there in a daze.

"We look ugly when we eat. Whether we admit it or not, there is a reason why we feel guilty. As for why we feel guilty, it is because we are afraid that this place will be taken over by others, so we instinctively want to eat more while it is still in our hands."

Li Shan shook his head: "It's no different from competing with these people for water and food."

"He can control his temper, which shows that he is confident and believes that no one can snatch Kaiyuan Mansion from him. He thinks that it will take time and effort, so why rush into anything?"

Hearing this, the disciples looked at each other in bewilderment: "Could it be that Senior Brother is overthinking it? After all, Kaiyuan Mansion was once divided among three people. He did this perhaps because he didn't want to openly tear his face with the others, so he used this method to compete for incense offerings?"

"I can't say for sure."

Li Shan didn't say anything final, but continued walking with a smile.

But will those who dare to compete with Youyao really care about those unknown people?
But there is no need to think so much now.

Things are far from settled.

After today, the name of Master Taixu will surely resound throughout Beizhou, but it is not certain how long it will last.

After all, it is normal for other disciples to win and lose when fighting for the dojo, but Youyao is different, she cannot lose, or it can be said that the three of them are the same, they really cannot afford to lose.

Let's see how the woman responds.

Just thinking about her current expression, Li Shan found it quite interesting.

……

Beizhou, Qingguang Cave.

Among the Lingxiu mountains, there are long bluestone steps hidden in the clouds.

The woman in a black dress and a crown on her head did not ride on a cloud, but walked slowly upwards along the stone steps.

Her expression was normal, and it was impossible to tell whether she was happy or angry.

She finally stopped walking when she reached the end of the stone steps and looked up at the quiet little temple.

It was obvious that Youyao's mood was not as calm as she looked on the outside.

Right at the entrance of the small temple, He Tong reached out and grabbed another boy with red lips and white teeth next to him, narrowed his eyes slightly, and reminded the other person with his eyes.

However, the boy hesitated for a moment, and finally shook off He Tong's hand, forced a smile, walked forward, and said softly: "Senior Sister Youyao is back... I want to ask my brother, where is he now?"

Under the seat of True Man Qingguang are two little boys, a crane and a deer.

This young man was actually Lu Tong.

At this moment, it was obviously distracted, and even its salute seemed a little absent-minded. It just stared at Youyao's face.

"What did you call me?" Youyao glanced over coldly.

"Master..." Lu Tong realized something was wrong halfway through his sentence and leaned forward quickly, "Master Youyao."

Even though it is only one step away from becoming a disciple of Master Qingguang, it is still just a boy. When the other party calls it "senior sister", he can just accept it as usual, but if he really finds fault with it, he will definitely be guilty of transgression.

"Remember your identity."

Youyao waved her sleeves lightly, stepped past the other person, and went straight into the small temple.

Wait until her back disappears at the end of the sight.

The deer boy slowly raised his head, his whole body already trembling slightly.

"Ugh."

He Tong approached quietly and patted it lightly on the shoulder. Neither of them said anything, but they already understood what was going on.

If nothing had happened, why would Youyao care about him? She seemed dignified, but in fact, she was guilty. If it were the former senior sister, she would never respond in such a way.

The other party's avoidance of the question is itself an answer.

"Who is in charge of Kaiyuan Prefecture?" There was some hatred in Lu Tong's eyes.

He Tong was silent for a long time before he slowly uttered a sentence: "Taixu Danhuang."

It was really hard to imagine that the young man who had been in Nanzhou and dared not show up when being targeted by a mere Tianwu and could only rely on the protection of his master, could actually defend Kaiyuan Mansion from the hands of the deer monster.

And guarding so quietly.

Thinking of this, it casually turned its head and looked at the old woman who walked out of the small temple.

"..."

Patriarch Yu Chi forced a smile, nodded, and greeted the two boys.

Then he lowered his head again and walked quietly down the mountain.

No one noticed that her palms hidden between her sleeves were already sweating... Her guess was right, there really was such a thing as a person who was destined to be robbed.

Although Youyao has not reported this to her master yet.

but--

Patriarch Yu Chi swallowed and thought of Master Shu Yu and Patriarch Shen Shan who had not returned yet. He thought that these two people must have passed away now.

This group of people underestimated Nanzhou, thinking that they had never seen the world. Little did they know that the fear brought to them by the Bodhisattva of Subduing Dragons and Tigers was no less than that brought to them by Youyao.

How could Taixu Dan Huang, who was able to escape from the hands of this Bodhisattva, be easy to deal with?

Qingguang Cave had offended the person who was to be robbed, and Yuchi was now considering whether to find another master.

And at this moment, inside that small temple.

The thin figure turned his back to the kneeling woman and said calmly, "Lost?"

Youyao bit her red lips tightly, and after a long while she said: "Disciple has not lost, but I can't afford to lose..."

"sophistry."

Master Qingguang glanced back at her indifferently: "What do you want to do?"

"He killed Junior Brother Shu Yu..."

Youyao took a deep breath, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by her master.

"Is there any evidence?"

Youyao raised her head, let out a long breath, her pupils trembling slightly, and said unwillingly: "No."

Taoist Qingguang retracted his gaze. At this point, he had of course guessed that something had happened to his second disciple. The disciple in front of him was bringing this up just to get his permission.

The demons were killed, so of course I had to deal with the rest myself.

However, there was no precedent in Beizhou where monks would directly fight each other to compete for the Taoist temple, so he wanted to use the excuse of personal vendetta to get back at the throne.

"Do you remember how you responded when your uncle Chi Yun asked you last time?"

"The disciple said...that person is innocent." Youyao was stunned for a moment.

"That man is innocent, and so is this Nanzhou cultivator. After all, your fellow apprentice went there to seek death, but correspondingly, you are also innocent."

Qingguang Zhenren's face became more and more indifferent: "So, don't think about making excuses anymore. You don't have much time, you have to hurry up."

The leader is paying attention to the catastrophe and wants to choose the best. In this situation, the Qingguang Cave lineage must not fall behind. Since it is a catastrophe, there is no reason why there will be no deaths.

Anyway, the storm has already started, so we might as well make it bigger.
