Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Chapter 158 Demanding Justice

Qiankun Academy, Xianyun Pavilion.

Anren Prefecture has suffered heavy losses.

The three Golden Core experts of the Demon Slaying Division have all perished, and dozens of subordinate generals have disappeared into the deep mountains. Only a dozen or so subordinate generals, led by the Ruan siblings, continue to maintain the basic operation of this office.

It can be said that it has become an empty shell.

Fortunately, the number of students in the Martial Academy was large. Although their experience was not as good as that of the officers of the Demon Slaying Division, their strength was far superior.

Under the instructor's arrangement, they all left the academy to assist the lieutenants in guarding the prefectures and counties.

As a result, Yu Sheng controlled all the military power in Anren Prefecture. In addition, given her status as the pride of the Yu family and the current tense and dangerous situation, even without the instructions left by the headmaster before he left, the prefectural government had no choice but to follow her arrangements.

It could be said that the place where she was located was the real government office.

It's no longer appropriate to live in that small courtyard.

As a result, Xianyun Pavilion became lively, with officials, generals, lecturers, and students coming and going every day, sending all the news of this great mansion to that small desk.

"Single man goes to serve, two out of three men are drafted?"

"No, no!"

With a wave of her hand, Yu Sheng began to make sweeping changes according to her own ideas.

Many of the little chicks' ideas are too naive.

Fortunately, with Gu Nanzhi watching over things, only those decrees that could actually be implemented were sent out of the pavilion.

As for the idea of ​​giving everyone a truckload of pork knuckles, she reluctantly dissuaded them from doing so.

"Given the current situation in Anren Prefecture, it is difficult to even protect itself, and the people's hearts are in turmoil. It is indeed not suitable to continue to provide labor for the immortals."

The official received the decree from the prefecture, turned around, and left the small building.

The deeds of Yu Shengxian have already spread throughout the county. Beneath his seemingly naive appearance, every move he makes is actually the result of deep and thoughtful consideration that no one knows about.

Don't ask any questions, just do as instructed.

This was something the senior officials in the government had repeatedly instructed me to do.

"Headmaster, the most important thing now is to find a way to win over this senior, Chen Wenxi."

Fan Li bowed in greeting.

Although the Yu family has not yet issued a transfer order, apart from Immortal Yu Sheng, there is no other descendant of the Yu family in Anren Prefecture who can take on the important role of headmaster.

The usual duties of guarding the town are filled by students from the Martial Arts Academy.

However, without the deterrent effect of a top-tier expert... to put it bluntly, with Yu Shengxian's current strength, he is completely unable to achieve the same effect as Elder Yu Dongjun.

She is a prodigy, but she has not yet fully matured.

Compared to other prodigies, he not only lacked magical power, but also did not possess any mountain god treasures, nor did he have any scattered immortal families submit to him.

Magical power cannot be rushed, and spiritual treasures are nowhere to be found. The only path left is the last one, which requires real effort and can be effective in a short period of time.

Even if we can't win him over, we must find a way to appease him.

Fan Li pondered for a few moments, carefully organizing his words: "Yu Dongjun and Lei Shouren's relocation caused heavy losses to the Chen family. Not only were most of the clan members and disciples killed or wounded, but even Chen Ziheng and the two sect leaders were gone."

"Even if they can't offer compensation right now, they should at least express the Yu family's apology."

"Hmm."

Yu Sheng rubbed her chin.

This is a new move she recently learned from somewhere, which makes her look more mature.

"We'll talk about it later. First, replace those immortal descendants in the county town with lecturers from your group."

"what?"

Fan Li was stunned. He knew that the positions of those immortal descendants were all earned by accumulating merits through trials.

The headmaster could dismiss them with a single word.

Given the other party's current power, it's not impossible for them to do it, but it will inevitably affect their reputation.

No, there must be a deeper meaning behind Immortal Yu Sheng's arrangement...

Fan Li racked his brains for a long time before finally raising his head with a look of awe and realization: "I'll take care of it right away."

For Anren Prefecture at present, the most important thing is not to make meritorious contributions, or to pursue those illusory fame.

Instead, it aims to maintain stability.

As long as we can firmly defend this great mansion, it will already be an incredible achievement!

From the perspective of the demons, they might not even be able to defend Yongzhou Pass, so why would they risk their lives to seize Anren Prefecture?

The only ones who could move the hearts of these great demons were the immortal descendants in the prefectures and counties.

If the immortal descendants are driven out, they will naturally attract the attention of the demons, relieving the pressure on Anren Prefecture.

It has to be said that this move was ruthless, but it was undeniably effective!

"Hiccup".

Yu Sheng watched everyone leave, then lay back in her chair and patted her belly with a grin: "Now no one's watching us little monsters anymore."

"Immortal, it's time to read."

Seeing that the other party had finished his official business, Gu Nanzhi turned around and took out a thick stack of old books.

"Ah... shall I teach you how to play the gong?"

Yu Sheng's face turned bitter, and she pleaded, shaking her little fist: "I knocked really well."

"it is good."

Gu Nanzhi nodded, and amidst the chick's delighted smile, she slammed the stack of thick books onto the table: "You finish reading them first, and then I'll learn how to play the gong from you."

Although she didn't know why, she could tell that Yu Sheng was the person Lord Lin trusted most.

As their demon lord's territory expands, a trusted confidant must step forward to handle internal affairs.

Anren Prefecture is the place where the master entrusted Yu Sheng with practice, and this hard-won opportunity must not be wasted.

Just then, a lecturer rushed in from outside, looking anxious.

"Headmaster, the Chen family patriarch has come to demand an explanation!"

"..."

Gu Nanzhi's expression changed slightly, but before she could speak, she saw Yu Shengxian take the opportunity to slip out from under the table.

"Let's go! Let's go take a look!"

The little creature transformed into a streak of light and swept down the low hill, heading towards the direction where the crowd was gathering.

……

Qiankun Academy.

Fan Li had just come out of Xianyun Pavilion when he heard the students making a ruckus.

The martial arts academy of today is no longer the place where students once studied; it has become a branch of the Demon Slaying Bureau, and these students bear the heavy responsibility of protecting the safety of the prefecture and county.

How could he still be so frivolous?

He was about to reprimand them, but upon hearing the students' whispers, the elderly and composed lecturer's face twitched slightly.

"That old fellow certainly knows how to pick his timing."

Fan Li cursed inwardly.

The Chen family's losses were all due to Yu Dongjun and Lei Shouren's misjudgments.

The other party didn't come earlier or later; they waited until the culprit got away before finally coming to cause trouble.

What, do you think Yu Sheng Xianren is younger and therefore easier to manipulate?

The crowd gradually gathered, all looking at the group of figures who were walking into the academy.

The leader was bald and old, but his sideburns were extremely long. He was wearing a bright yellow robe and was none other than the old ancestor of the Chen family.

Behind him, a scattered group of Chen family descendants followed, creating a somewhat desolate scene.

"Ugh."

The lecturers and students sighed quietly.

It must be said that the Chen family did indeed contribute greatly to the demon-slaying operation.

Apart from the patriarch, they came out in full force. Such a heavy loss cannot be made up for in a few words.

The problem is that Yu Shengxianren wasn't included in the distribution of credit, but now that a problem has arisen, she's being asked to take responsibility. Isn't that a bit unreasonable?

In the center of the martial arts academy stands a small pavilion called the Phoenix Pavilion.

Although its name contains the character for "phoenix," the wooden pillars and tiled roof are decorated with carvings of soaring blue phoenixes.

This means that this place is under the control of the Yu family.

Under the anxious gazes of the crowd, Chen Wenxi stepped straight into Qifeng Pavilion and sat down calmly beside the stone table, while the disciples stood quietly around him.

He didn't seem to intend to pay his respects to the headmaster; rather, he seemed to be waiting for the headmaster to come and see him.

"Now they're putting on airs like seniors."

Fan Li and the other lecturers rushed over and frowned upon seeing the scene.

They knew that Immortal Yu Sheng's foundation was still shallow, and his reputation could not compare to that of Yu Dongjun.

But unexpectedly, the first provocation came not from the monsters outside, but from within.

What does this mean? Is it an attempt to take advantage of the Yu family's decline and the heavy losses suffered by the clan, to turn the tables and use the status of a rogue immortal to suppress the Half-Life Immortal Sect?

"Senior Chen, the abbot is currently handling official business at Xianyun Pavilion. Whatever the matter, we hope you will come and have a chat with us."

Faced with such a show of force, how could the lecturers sit idly by? After a brief exchange of glances, Fan Li respectfully stepped forward and bowed deeply towards Qifeng Pavilion.

Under the watchful eyes of those around them.

Chen Wenxi didn't even lift his eyelids, and said indifferently, "What I'm about to say is not something you are qualified to participate in. Let someone of importance come over."

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of many lecturers and students became serious.

Just as expected.

They've come with ill intentions.

Ironically, so many people in that family died, yet they still had the upper hand.

Could it be that there's been some problem with the feng shui of the academy lately?

First it was Yu Mingxuan, and then it was Yu Dongjun. Both of them encountered trouble, but they couldn't suppress it at all, and were forced to make a scene that everyone knew about.

Now it's finally Immortal Yu Sheng's turn.

I wonder if this immortal can handle today's events properly.

"Hmm, what would you like to talk about, senior?"

A pretty figure slowly walked out from the crowd.

Contrary to what everyone expected, Yu Sheng did not rely on her status to create a stalemate; instead, she made a grand entrance.

There was no anger in his expression; he went straight to the point.

"This is how a headmaster should be."

The lecturers sighed inwardly, recalling the previous two, whose first reaction to any situation was always how to save face.

If Immortal Yu Sheng can calm Chen Wenxi's anger, and the two join forces, then Anren Prefecture might be saved.

But the next moment, even Fan Li, who had the best temper, suddenly turned pale.

"You don't actually think that the person I'm talking about carries any weight..."

Chen Wenxi slowly turned her head, glanced at Yu Sheng with disdain, and said sarcastically, "You mean you, right?"

"Chen Wenxi, you're arrogant!"

Everyone in the courtyard took a step forward in unison, and a powerful aura instantly enveloped the pavilion.

"Even if your Chen family has suffered heavy losses, how dare you speak so disrespectfully to the Yu family's prodigy!"

"Immortal Yu Sheng was entrusted with this critical mission to protect Anren Prefecture. How dare you take advantage of this situation to cause trouble? Beware of the annihilation of the Chen family!"

No matter what changes occur, one thing remains unchanged.

Anren Prefecture is ultimately the territory of the Yu family. How dare a mere wandering immortal try to trespass upon it? He's truly courting death.

"The Chen family?"

Chen Wenxi glanced indifferently at the crowd, a hint of mockery suddenly appearing in his cloudy eyes.

He suddenly raised his finger, and a wisp of sword light flashed from his fingertip, cleanly piercing the forehead of a Chen family descendant under the horrified gazes of the crowd.

boom.

As the man collapsed to the ground, his face filled with astonishment, blood stained the stone platform red.

Many lecturers and students stood frozen in place, as if struck by lightning.

Fan Li's lips trembled violently, and his mind went blank. A rogue immortal ancestor had actually killed his junior without changing his expression.

This was beyond his comprehension.

Could it be that this wandering immortal has gone so far as to become insane?

No wonder so many members of the Chen family died, yet the other party showed no sign of anger and continued to send assistance to the Demon Slayer Division without a care.

But if that's the case, what exactly does this old man want to do?

"A prodigy?"

Chen Wenxi leisurely lowered his hand and chuckled softly: "This little brat? You all send Yu Tongxuan here and see if he dares to call himself a prodigy in front of me."

"He's gone mad...he's gone mad..."

The crowd, terrified, retreated several steps.

They acknowledged that the Chen family patriarch possessed profound magical powers, but the words spoken by the other party made him seem like a complete madman.

Who was Yu Tongxuan?

That was the prodigy of the previous generation of the Yu family, a giant who had already stepped into the Nascent Soul realm and had been living in seclusion for many years.

Looking across the entire Yongzhou, there are only a handful of people who can compare to him.

Moreover, if even Immortal Yu Sheng is not considered influential, then in the eyes of the other party, who else in Anren Prefecture is qualified to speak with him?

"Well."

The chick's expression was slightly blank.

The only things she learned from Lin Shu were these three basic techniques.

Having already put on a show of strength, if the other party doesn't respond, she's at a loss for what to do.

A sense of panic inevitably arose in my heart.

Oh no, I'm going to embarrass Lin Shu.

No, no! Should we just fight him?

"Eh!"

Gu Nanzhi sensed the fluctuation in the aura and quickly reached out to tug at Yu Sheng's sleeve.

Where did he learn this habit of resorting to violence at the slightest disagreement?

Unfortunately, although she had more experience in handling government affairs, she was still just a minor cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, and how could she possibly stop a Golden Core stage immortal descendant?

Just then, a fair hand gently rubbed the chick's head, instantly calming the surging magical power within her.

"Lin Shu, you're back!" Yu Sheng released her grip and turned around in surprise.

"Um."

A young man dressed in a flowing cloud-patterned sword robe stepped out of the crowd and looked towards the pavilion.

The lecturers and students all saw the figure of the sect leader's disciple, but they couldn't quite understand why Immortal Yu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though Senior Brother Lin was exceptionally intelligent and brave, he was still just a junior disciple and a Core Formation cultivator. How could he possibly catch the eye of that extremely arrogant madman in the pavilion?

The next moment, the faces of the puzzled crowd froze once again.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Chen Wenxi actually smiled: "I thought you were going to continue using this young girl as a shield."

A young girl with blond hair? A shield?

Fan Li felt as if every word was a heavy hammer pounding on her eardrums.

What exactly is this person saying? Could it be that Senior Brother Lin has another identity?

But in Yongzhou, who has the right to show such contempt to a prodigy of the Yu family, and even to use her as a shield?
