Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 806 Emperor? When did I know the Emperor?

These resolute words echoed among the four majestic peaks, speaking for all the followers of Bodhi.

Xuanweizi and Chi Yunzi looked at each other but were not too surprised. This was something they had expected from the very beginning. However, when they actually saw this scene with their own eyes, a bit of fatigue could not help but appear in their eyes.

With Shen Yi's strength, if we talk normally, he will still be able to suppress the younger generation.

Even though his act of concealing his cultivation level was inappropriate, it was actually not a big deal. It was nothing more than giving up more benefits to shut up the monks.

After all, at the beginning of the discussion, most of the second-grade cultivators were resistant to the position of Immortal Emperor. Since someone was willing to take it, and was indeed a younger disciple with a clear lineage, there was nothing wrong in letting him take it.

But the problem is that the chief disciple of the Three Immortals Sect first led a group of immortals to kill people in Dongzhou, which aroused the anger of the monks, and then deliberately killed many Bodhisattvas in a discussion of Dharma.

All these things will become obstacles for him to ascend to the throne.

Moreover, he had directly exposed his Immortal Oath, allowing the monks to see the possibility of killing him.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

The joy of revenge and the resentment left in the hearts of the Bodhi followers finally gathered into a thick barrier blocking him. I'm afraid even the Emperor would find it difficult to break it.

"It can't be him!"

Maha Freedom Snow Mountain Bodhisattva kowtowed again. He was a great Bodhisattva with great aspirations, but at this moment he took the initiative to withdraw his calamity power and knocked his forehead until it was bloody.

As a Bodhisattva with a high status in the religion, he is almost equivalent to Xuanweizi of the Three Immortals Sect.

The reason why he showed such a resolute attitude at this moment was naturally not entirely due to the hatred in his heart. The more important reason was that he saw the decline of his own sect.

It sounds absurd that the Bodhi Sect, one of the rulers of heaven and earth, would decline because of one person, but it has become a fact.

The actions of Yuxu Huanyu Zhenjun were like a mountain, weighing down the monks' heads.

The disciples of Bodhi Sect are still able to stand now, supported by the anger in their hearts. If that young man becomes the Immortal Emperor, after they bow down to him, they will never be able to stand up again.

More importantly, because of the immortal oath sworn by Shen Yi, they have clearly seen hope and the possibility of revenge for their fellow disciples. If they retreat now, wouldn’t their fellow disciples and elders who had previously perished in the black cloud die with regrets?

After this step back, the morale of the followers was lost, and the fortune of the entire Bodhi sect was on the decline, with no chance of recovery.

"..."

Faced with the monks' united hatred of a common enemy, the Three Immortals Sect disciples led by Li Shan were a little at a loss.

The meaning of the words of Great Freedom Snow Mountain Bodhisattva seemed to be a concession. After all, he only said that it could not be Senior Brother Shen Yi, but he did not say that it could not be a cultivator from the Three Immortals Sect.

But how is this possible... If Senior Brother Shen Yi cannot become the Immortal Emperor, the only option left for him is to perish.

Thinking of this, everyone looked towards the majestic peak.

Compared with the sharp gazes between Huanxi Zhenfo and Hou Tu Niangniang, the Emperor of Dongji, who was most concerned about the catastrophe, seemed to be sitting calmly at this moment.

This was exactly the situation he wanted to see most.

Before coming to Dongzhou, Emperor Dongji deliberately invited Queen Houtu, who was not interested in the catastrophe, and did not let other emperors intervene. As a result, now he is the only one who can help Shen Yi in the whole world.

Under the pressure of the immortal oath, Yuxu Huanyu Zhenjun, who has suppressed the two religions, can only rely on Dongji Emperor's Palace if he wants to survive.

He didn't think Shen Yi was lying.

After all, no matter how you look at it, this immortal oath will not benefit him at all, and will only become an obstacle for the other party. In other words, if Bodhi Sect did not know that he must become the Immortal Emperor, its attitude might not be as tough as it is now.

Emperor Dongji clenched his five fingers slightly, as if he was holding someone's lifeline, and a smile appeared at the corners of his lips.

This time he did not rush to speak for Shen Yi, but stood up like a peacemaker: "Calm down first, discuss it, and see you in three days."

With the Emperor's words, the immortals were stunned for a moment, all of them were a little dazed. The original intention of this trip to Dongzhou was to hold Bodhi Sect accountable for the murder of Chu Xi of Chiyun Cave by Mahadeva Lotus Pearl Bodhisattva.

Later it inexplicably turned into a discussion of Dharma. It would have been fine if the catastrophe could be ended in one fell swoop, but now the immortals have suffered heavy casualties, and many Golden Immortals have fallen into a deep sleep, which can be said to have seriously damaged their vitality.

In the end, they still had to go back to verbal negotiations.

So…what’s the point of all this?
After going around in a big circle, everyone suddenly found themselves back to the original place.

They retreated towards the outside of East Xumi with the Emperor in a restless mood.

The Great Freedom Snow Mountain Bodhisattva slowly raised his head, with the densely packed straight figures behind him, staring coldly at the backs of the immortals.

Go back to where we were? I'm afraid it's impossible to go back.

……

The people of Dongzhou made the rare discovery that there seemed to be no trace of gods, Buddhas or immortals recently, but life went on as usual.

Those beings who are in the clouds, high above, no longer have the energy to take care of the human world.

It was dark in the night, inside the Sanqing Hall of Nanping Prefecture.

Against the backdrop of flickering candlelight, Emperor Dongji sat high on the altar, with a group of immortals displayed below him and younger disciples kneeling in an orderly manner. However, Empress Hou Tu still looked absent-minded, leaning against the door railing, looking up at the stars and the moon in a trance.

The Golden Immortals separated into two paths, leaving the front position for them, and then all looked towards the mysterious figure.

Before the catastrophe, there was no real difference in status among the seventy-two golden immortals. It was simply a matter of who reached the second rank earlier and had more experience, and who was more valued and favored by the master, and thus had a higher status.

But ever since the leader had the idea of ​​selecting the Twelve Golden Immortals, there has been a clear division of status.

During this trip to Dongzhou, there was a cultivator who completed two consecutive leaps at an astonishing speed.

He established the position of the Twelve Golden Immortals through his first discussion of the law.

When everyone thought that this was the limit, the second discussion was restarted. This young junior, through his brilliant performance, was already qualified to compete with Xuanweizi and other elders for the title of the Twelve Golden Immortals.

The leader of all immortals, second only to the Emperor!

Xuanweizi stood silently where he was, and also stepped aside to make way, showing his attitude.

It was not because he felt that his strength was inferior to Shen Yi, but because the entire Three Immortals Sect owed him this position.

Even though this young man bravely stepped forward and not only helped the immortals vent their anger, but also consolidated the huge advantage for the Three Immortal Sect, this group of old guys still failed to help him regain the throne of the Immortal Emperor.

Of course, everyone knows that this kind of false reputation is meaningless.

Because this man who is recognized by everyone as the leader of all immortals...he is about to die.

The identical looks in the eyes of that group of monks were filled with murderous intent to make this Taoist master disappear from this world forever, no matter the cost.

Compared to the complicated expressions on the faces of the others, Shen Yi was as calm and indifferent as ever. He walked calmly and came to the front of the crowd, under the towering altar.

"Heh." Seeing this, Emperor Dongji suddenly laughed.

He likes such smart people very much.

He is calm because he is fearless, and he is fearless because he knows there is still hope for his future.

And this turning point is yourself.

"Cough cough."

So, Emperor Dongji gently lifted the hem of his clothes, sat up straighter, with a solemn expression, waiting for the other party to surrender.

Nothing in the world is destined. It all depends on whether one can pay enough price. The price of letting Shen Yi sit on the throne of the Immortal Emperor may be very high. After all, it is not easy to dispel the resentment in the hearts of those monks.

But Emperor Dongji is confident that he can afford it.

Even if an Emperor's Palace alone is not enough, he is the only one who is willing to lobby the other leaders and emperors for Shen Yi.

"..."

Hou Tu Huang Dizhi glanced into the hall with the corner of her eyes, and a complex expression appeared in her delicate eyes.

She once said that no matter what kind of person one is, as long as one sits in that position, it doesn't make much difference. One is nothing more than a puppet tied with iron chains by the two religions.

Also because he felt that Shen Yi was a little different from others, he stepped forward to remind the other party a few words.

Now it seems different.

Before he even sat in that seat, he was tied up with an iron chain.

He took the initiative to put his life and property in the hands of Emperor Dongji, and from then on he had no chance of turning things around.

However, these two people only reached a certain agreement, but it has already intensified the conflict between the two religions to an irreconcilable level. If Shen Yi really joins the Dongji Emperor's Mansion and becomes a powerless blade in the hands of the other party, who knows what kind of disaster will be brought to the world.

Hou Tu Niangniang sighed silently and looked up at the sky again.

Compared to her disappointment, the other immortal disciples all brightened up when they heard the light cough of Emperor Dongji.

As the saying goes, the divine bird chooses a good tree to roost in.

Although Xuanweizi and others felt that Emperor Dongji was not a good person, after all, the other party's manipulation was too obvious. If they really wanted to help, they should have stepped forward at the Dharma Discussion Conference, instead of waiting until they came back and then pretending to be waiting for help.

But now that things have come to this, it's better to have someone to rely on than to have nothing to do.

Everyone looked at the Taoist Xuanshang.

Then, the entire hall suddenly fell silent.

Shen Yi was in the first seat, standing with his hands hanging down. After he stood still calmly, he did not make any other moves, as if nothing had happened.

After a moment, the atmosphere became slightly awkward.

Emperor Dongji couldn't sit still any longer, and frowned, "What are you waiting for?"

"Hmm?" Shen Yi raised his head in confusion, pondered for a moment, and said with a cupped hand: "Junior does not understand, please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Dongji's face instantly turned cold.

He stared at the innocent expression of the young man, his eyes twitched slightly twice, and finally he realized something was wrong.

Not sure?

Previously, this kid was almost suppressed by the lotus sacrificed by the Happy True Buddha. When he came towards him with a smile, he never said anything about being puzzled!
The other party was already dying, and the two religions had become like this.

Emperor Dongji no longer had any intention of hiding his true feelings. In front of all the followers, he said in a cold voice, "Do you want to break your promise?"

When these words came out, all the immortals were puzzled, and the disciples were even more terrified.

A trace of surprise flashed across Hou Tu Niangniang's fair face, and she slowly turned around.

The young man in black clothes thought for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the Emperor of Dongji. Not only was he not afraid of the threatening words, but there was a hint of curiosity at the corner of his lips: "What did Shen Yi promise the Emperor?"

The moment the words fell, everyone noticed that the majestic face of Emperor Dongji turned visibly pale. He was clearly a first-class giant, but at this moment he inexplicably looked a little sad.

On the other hand, Shen Yi behaved modestly and spoke politely, but no matter how you looked at him, he looked like a heartless man who would disown others once he had his pants pulled up.

No, the situation is reversed.

Who is in danger of losing his life, and who wants to sit on the throne of the Immortal Emperor?
Including Xuanweizi, no one knew what Shen Yi was up to. The dignity of the emperor could not be challenged. It would be fine if it was other Golden Immortals, at most they would have to sacrifice their future. But if the other party offended the emperor, they would have to sacrifice their lives.

"If you have a bad memory, this emperor will give you one last chance. Recall it carefully and don't ask for trouble."

Emperor Dongji closed his eyes. As one of the parents of heaven and earth, how could he possibly have an argument with a junior?

When he opened his eyes again, there was only indifference in his eyes, and he looked at Shen Yi as if he was looking at a half-dead person.

"Shen Yi's memory is indeed bad, but the Emperor's memory is not very good either."

Shen Yi slowly put down his hands, put away his smile, and looked at the figure on the altar seriously: "I said it at Tianta Mountain, Shen has a short life, so he likes to suffer a little."

It also seems respectful, but in fact it is a dagger hidden in the face of confrontation.

Previously at Tianta Mountain, Emperor Dongji boasted of his magnanimity and was willing to give him another chance, so he did not take action. Now the same scene is being replicated in Dongzhou, but the other party has become the leader of all the immortals, and has made great contributions to the Three Immortals Sect during the catastrophe, and his reputation is unparalleled. Even though he is an emperor, he can't do anything to this young man without a solid charge.

All the immortal disciples had fallen silent. No one could understand what was happening, but everyone could feel the surging anger from Emperor Dongji.

"very good."

Emperor Dongji took a deep breath, and the fingertips spread on his knees twitched slightly.

He didn't understand why this man dared to disobey him despite having taken an immortal oath, but since he was determined to die, then he deserved to die.

"As long as this emperor is alive, don't even think about sitting in that position."

The bone-chilling voice echoed in the hall, and his figure disappeared on the altar.

The immortals looked around in panic, their eyes filled with confusion.

At a time when the feud between the two sects was so serious, this emperor actually just gave up and left Dongzhou, abandoning all his disciples in Nanping? !
After a moment, they all looked outside, their breathing a little disordered... Now the only person they could rely on turned out to be the Emperor of Earth, Hou Tu, who had considerable hostility towards the Immortal Sect!
Under the gaze of everyone, Queen Hou Tu seemed unaware. She stared quietly at Shen Yi's back.

I actually misjudged the same person three times in a row.
