Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 779 You look to the future, and Shen will protect the present for you

Divine Dynasty, Imperial City.

The two maids stood outside the gate of the quiet courtyard, looking at the woman with a sword walking hurriedly in the distance, and both bowed respectfully.

The other party had no official position in the Divine Dynasty, and did not even have an obvious identity, but the entire imperial city knew that this girl was the only one, besides Lord Lin, the head of the Immortal Department, who could step into the wine pool alone to meet His Majesty.

"Master Ye, please come this way."

The maid turned around and led the way in front with small steps. His Majesty said that Lord Ye did not need to be informed if he wanted to see him.

"Thank you both."

Ye Lan tightly grasped the jade slip in her hand. Even though she had been thinking about that person for countless days and nights, she forced herself to suppress her temper and did not use her soul to spy on the contents.

She was very clear that with her level of cultivation, it was nothing compared to the world.

If you are captured by any giant, you will be at risk of having your soul searched.

This letter from Northern Continent can only be read by the Human Emperor.

Soon, Ye Lan stopped and stood around the wine pool. After the two maids quietly left, she took out the jade slip and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look."

"Another letter so soon, what's the problem?"

The man leaned on the wet pebbles and waved his hand, trying to take the jade slip through the air, but it was a bit embarrassing that the jade slip still remained motionless in Ye Lan's palm.

"Tsk."

A trace of helplessness flashed across his face, but it was fleeting, and he soon turned into that lazy look again: "Give it to me, why are you standing there like an idiot?"

"..."

Ye Lan approached respectfully and placed the jade slip in the other person's palm, with some worry in his eyes.

Although she didn't know what the Lord of Shenzhou was doing, just from his appearance, his increasingly gray hair and the visible changes in his face, he seemed to have aged ten years almost every time they saw him.

This kind of situation should never happen to one of the Six Gods of Heaven and Earth.

She could clearly feel that the Human Emperor and this wine pool were becoming more and more integrated, but his control over the outside world was plummeting.

Ye Lan even began to doubt whether His Majesty would still be able to transmit the sound outside this courtyard without the help of Lord Lin from the Immortal Department.

Is such a Six Imperial Lords really capable of protecting Shen Yi?
"There are gains and losses."

The man seemed to see through Ye Lan's thoughts, but he did not feel offended. Instead, he laughed casually twice.

When he was the almighty Human Emperor, he was naturally full of vigor and vitality, like a strong tiger and extremely majestic. But now, in order to completely mobilize the vast savings of the Divine Dynasty, he must bear many costs.

However, as he became more and more like a mortal, he could better understand the powerlessness of earthly beings in the face of gods and Buddhas, which was not necessarily a good thing.

"Let me see what trouble this kid has gotten into again."

The man looked relaxed, but there was actually some seriousness in his eyes.

You know, last time he gave out a card that could contact the general of the Divine Dynasty. If even this can't solve the other party's troubles, then in his current state, he really has no other choice.

Don’t be fooled by the Emperor’s attitude towards Shen Yi last time. He looked like someone who owed a debt and wanted to default on it.

But after all, he was a great contributor who defended Nanzhou for the imperial court.

If something like this happened, how could he not feel sad?

The Human Emperor carefully poured his spirit into the jade slip. After reading through its contents, he was silent for a long time and then opened his eyes again: "It is really a bit surprising."

"..."

Seeing the man's serious expression, Ye Lan suddenly clenched her sleeves and her face changed suddenly.

Fortunately, the Emperor did not intend to continue to scare her. He laughed and said, "Look at you. He even took the monk away, leaving you alone in this huge city, but you didn't complain at all. If it were the peaceful days, I would have made him arrange a marriage for you."

"Take it and see for yourself."

The Human Emperor casually threw the jade slip back.

Ye Lan was in no mood to pay attention to the old man's teasing. He quickly took the jade slip and immersed his soul into it.

When she saw the message sent back by Shen Yi, a look of astonishment gradually emerged on her face, and she finally understood why the Human Emperor had been silent just now.

You know, Shen Yi went to Beizhou for refuge in order to avoid being hunted down by the Great Freedom Pure World Bodhisattva. In this situation, it was not easy for him to stay calm and save his life.

Ever since he heard last time that the other party seemed unwilling to follow the path arranged by the Human Emperor, Ye Lan has been worried.

What is Beizhou? It is the holy place where the Three Pure Ones preached. It is a South Xumi that has been magnified several times. If you just walk along the road and look up, you might see a Daluo Immortal passing by.

Trying to cause trouble in a place like this is tantamount to seeking death.

But the content in the jade slip at this moment made people's heart beat faster... Shen Yi not only became a disciple of Lingxu Cave, but also became a disciple who traveled the world and experienced tribulations for this lineage, which is a status usually only possessed by the eldest disciple.

What’s even more terrible is that Shen Yi actually did it, and he really occupied a Taoist temple in Beizhou!
Judging from the calm tone of the text, the trouble should have been cleared away and everything has been completely stabilized.

"He wants to know the situation in the other continents."

The man was soaked in alcohol, his face looking a little strange. This guy who could barely protect himself not only managed to stand firm, but also had the leisure to worry about the world.

For a moment he was confused as to who was the Human Emperor.

But I have to say that the other party really exceeded my expectations.

Thinking of this, the Human Emperor shook his head and said, "You go back first. I will ask Lin Shuya to sort out the situation of the other three continents, and then you can pass it on to that kid."

"Yes, sir." Ye Lan smiled and was about to bow and leave.

At this time, the voice of a maid was heard outside the wine pool.

"Your Majesty, Lord Lin from the Immortal Department requests to see you."

"..."

Ye Lan frowned slightly and looked towards the man.

This is the wine pool. The Human Emperor is meeting me, and when it comes to matters involving Shen Yi, no third person is allowed to be present.

The maidservant clearly knew the news, but she did not let Lord Lin wait, but chose to pass it on. This made Ye Lan feel inexplicably strange.

"You came just in time."

The man smiled indifferently. Of course he knew that the person he once trusted the most had changed his mind.

And it's not because of any power or interests.

Ever since Lin Shuya pleaded with him to use the Divine Dynasty's heritage for his own transcendence, the man already knew that they had a fundamental disagreement on the matter.

Exactly the same as the General Zhennan.

Three people, thinking of three different paths. But the difference is that he and that kid are really capable of doing something for their own choices, but Lin Shuya obviously does not have this condition, so there is no need to care.

Moreover, given his current condition, it is obviously beyond his ability to change the leader of the Immortal Department.

"Let him in."

The Human Emperor sat up straighter.

Soon, two figures hurried in, led by maids.

In front was the thin Lin Shuya, and behind was a tall woman in armor, with her face covered with silver ornaments. It was obvious that she had no cultivation, but her every move exuded an aura that made Ye Lan's heart palpitate.

Ye Lan guessed the identity of this woman in an instant.

The opponents are the few second-rank generals of the Divine Dynasty in the court!
"His Majesty!"

Lin Shuya always looked worried, but today he rarely smiled: "General Gu brought back good news from Beizhou, please take a look, Your Majesty!"

"Ali, just speak frankly."

The man did not take the memorial, but looked at the woman in armor.

Gu Li leaned forward and saluted. Although his face was covered by silver ornaments, one could still hear some joy in his voice: "Your Majesty, the internal strife among the major sects in Northern Continent has brought temporary peace to the people of our Divine Dynasty."

"..." Hearing this, the man was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at Ye Lan, then looked back: "What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, you may not know that recently, a cultivator from the Southern Continent named Taixu Zhenjun has come to the Northern Continent because of a feud with the Bodhi Sect. This person has extraordinary means and his strength far exceeds that of his peers in the major sects. In a short period of time, he has not only won the favor of the Golden Immortal and become a disciple of the Lingxu Cave, but has also been fighting bravely with the original cultivators from the Northern Continent."

“Even Qingguang Cave Youyao, who was one of the three great geniuses, was killed by him at Tianta Mountain in Kaiyuan Prefecture. After this incident, not only was he not punished, but he also secured his seat in the Taoist temple in the Five Prefectures, and he has a tendency to become the chief disciple of the Three Immortals Sect.”

Gu Li spoke slowly and even though her tone was calm, everyone around could hear the shock in her heart.

After all, this experience can be passed down independently.

An outsider who can gain a foothold in Beizhou so swiftly and vigorously will inevitably become a serious threat to the Divine Dynasty in just a few days, or even the knife that delivers a fatal blow.

"General Gu, tell me the good news..." Lin Shuya reminded gently.

"The good news is that this person has great ambitions. In order to plan more Taoist temples, he abandoned the immortal family's previous method of seizing the imperial energy and did the opposite, hoping to win the hearts of the people."

"In order to protect their temples, the other three immortal sects were forced to follow suit... Although the lives of the people in the twenty-nine prefectures of Northern Continent are not as good as before, at least they have no worries about their lives, food and clothing."

Having said that, Gu Li let out a long sigh.

In the past, millions of soldiers and countless demon slayers of the Divine Dynasty risked their lives but failed to defend half of the city. But now, because of the greed of one person, the people have been freed from the miserable days of living in fear of death.

It really makes me wonder what to say.

She didn't notice that the expressions of His Majesty and the woman next to her became complicated after listening to what she said.

"..."

The Human Emperor thought back to the jade slip. He never could have imagined that the content, which was already shocking enough, was actually a simplified result.

There is no such thing as a genius monk plotting to own more Taoist temples. The one who protects the lives of the people of Beizhou is still the General Zhennan.

It was not until this moment that he finally realized why Shen Yi was unwilling to hide his identity. Although this would increase the possibility of saving his life, it would take too long and he would no longer have the chance to participate in the catastrophe.

The initial meeting seemed harmonious, but in fact, neither of them could accept the other's ideas.

But now it seems that these two completely different paths have finally come together cleverly.

Since he is one of the six noble emperors and the ruler of the world, the Human Emperor is too busy to do anything else and his eyes are full of the future.

Shen Yi, who was only a third-rank cultivator, tried his best to protect himself.

"call."

The man took a deep breath and turned his head away, hiding his face in the shadows.

Ever since the argument with Lin Shuya, he has become a solitary, arbitrary and dictatorial man, a tyrant who is misunderstood by no one.

The Human Emperor had gradually gotten used to this feeling.

Now I suddenly felt some emotion in my heart.

How could a man who was once honored as the Lord of Restoration completely ignore the people of the world? He just had no choice but to bet everything. If he was not ruthless enough, this mortal would never be able to defeat the gods and Buddhas.

But at this moment, someone suddenly stood up to share his worries, allowing him to feel a little more at ease, feel less guilty, and concentrate on preparing for that big event.

The man lowered his eyes and smiled, and soon calmed down: "If it is really good news, what about the other continents?"

"This……"

Lin Shuya paused for a moment, and then he stammered after a long while: "The fight between the two major sects is getting more and more fierce. Mount Xumi in the South Continent has not made any moves yet, but the remaining two continents are almost bloodthirsty, and the East Continent is the worst. I heard that when those cultivators and monks fought, they showed no mercy at all. There have been several casualties, and Mount Xumi even attracted the appearance of the Great Freedom Bodhisattva."

He did not mention the common people, but everyone could understand that if even the monks were fighting like this, how could the living beings under their rule be any better.

"understood."

The man waved his hand and sighed: "Everyone go down."

Lin Shuya was stunned for a moment, and seeing that His Majesty was uneasy, he quickly bowed and turned to retreat out of the courtyard with Gu Li and Ye Lan.

However, he did not notice that the moment he turned around, the Human Emperor quietly turned his head and stared at his back expressionlessly. His old face seemed to have returned to his youth, with a crisp and decisive look in his majesty, like a tiger opening its eyes, flashing a gleam of light as it chooses its prey.

But in the end, the Human Emperor slowly withdrew his gaze.

Just now, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

A leader of the Immortal Department who is just a mortal, even if he has ulterior motives, cannot affect the overall situation at all. After all, among the countless gods and Buddhas in the world, no one will look at an ant with a straight eye.

However, although Shen Yi's actions saved thousands of people, they also added weight to Lin Shuya's hands.

If that kid can do better... to the point where even the two major sects are wary of him, then Lord Lin of the Divine Dynasty will have the opportunity to take the stage.

By then, the other party will really have the qualifications to do bad things.

"How can it be."

The man laughed at himself, Shen Yi had already secured South Continent and also protected North Continent, which was already a pleasant surprise.

Not to mention that the other party was a minor cultivator, even himself and Hou Tu, two of the Six Imperial Lords who had reached the first rank, could not stop the trend of the great sect.

Maybe I'm really old and I'm starting to scare myself.

"This kid is really confusing."

The man closed his eyes and his face gradually became peaceful. He hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.

The other party has done enough and it’s time for him to consider himself. That’s it.
