Begin immortality by slaying demons - Chapter 670
It was still midsummer when I left, and it was already winter when I returned.
The heavy snow had dyed the entire Jianyang Mansion white, making the mansion look a little deserted.
Since Ye Lan’s heart was with Dananzhou, he saved a few days compared to when he left. When he got there, he took Ye Jing to do some work.
After all, as a titled general of the Demon Slayer Division, she had to give the court an explanation after being away for more than half a year in this situation where chaos was beginning to appear.
Shen Yi walked back to the courtyard alone, opened the door and entered the house, sitting on the edge of the bed.
This trip has been quite fruitful. Not only has he established a legitimate foothold in China, but he has also obtained the true method of the three religions such as Taixu Daoguo. It can be said that he has completely established his footing.
But the price is not nothing.
He looked sideways at the heavy snow outside the window and calmly sorted out his thoughts.
The first thing is the matter in heaven. I heard that after Qinghua returned, because of the things he got from Bai Yuxian, he was promoted two levels in a row and became a fifth-level immortal general.
To be honest, Shen Yi rarely envies others, except Qinghua.
To her, those things that others would have to fight to the death to obtain were as simple as eating and drinking.
The other party relied on Shi Ren to feed pills to break through the Hedao, and then relied on his merits to become a seventh-level immortal. He directly surpassed several Dao realms in Hong Ze. In just a short time, he has become an immortal family comparable to Taiyi. existence.
Even Shen Yi felt a bit of pressure at this increasing speed…
But because of this, any normal person can see how outrageous this is.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
General Qingluan, most likely still has not let go of his doubts.
To others, promotion is definitely a good thing, but don’t forget that Qinghua is a military commander, not a civilian.
With her meager background and no other means except Immortal Seal, she didn’t need to deliberately target Qingluan Immortal General at all. She just needed to let him do his job normally, which was enough to give her a headache.
What’s more, such a speed of promotion will inevitably arouse jealousy and resentment among colleagues.
If it were another immortal general, others might still speculate about the relationship between Qinghua and Qingluan Immortal General, so they should be restrained.
But one was born as a merit immortal, the other was famously withdrawn, and the Ziling incident happened in the middle. These things are well known to everyone.
“call.”
Shen Yi is used to seeing all kinds of underhanded tactics, but rarely faces such a conspiracy.
Open and close without giving people any chance to choose.
If something happens to Qinghua, he will definitely not be able to stand by and watch, but as he takes more actions, he will gradually be exposed in front of Qingluan Immortal General.
When the time comes, how can I hide my Hongze origin from a fourth-grade immortal general who really wants to find out?
This is a complete match between the two.
The more interactions she had with Qinghua, the deeper Shen Yi understood this immortal general.
You know, even if you don’t count your heavenly status, even though you are both a disciple of Daluo Immortal Lord, you are a serious disciple. Apart from the Immortal Seal, you are comparable to the fourth-grade Taiyi Celestial Immortal. Even if you are After harvesting the Taixu Tao Fruit and becoming a Taiyi Immortal, he still lacked the word “Heaven” compared to others.
Besides, there is no way to put aside the Immortal Seal.
Shen Yi also has the White Rhino Seal, and he knows very well how oppressive this thing is to ordinary monks, even if they are of the same level.
In terms of strength, they were far inferior to him, and in terms of background… He didn’t think Shenxu Mountain would really treat him as a direct descendant.
Either abandon the blue and white and golden body, and cast a dark eye on the Immortal Court from now on, or be prepared to fight with this Immortal General.
Faced with this kind of problem, Shen Yi rarely hesitates.
Moreover, when he asked Ye Lan about the disaster that day, the look he cast towards Shenxu Mountain also made him slightly uneasy.
“This is too little.”
Shen Yi opened the panel and looked at the many prompts.
[Behead the fifth-grade white-feathered golden crane, the total life span is fifty-seven kalpas, and the remaining life span is 32 kalpas, and the absorption is completed]
[Behead the sixth-grade silver-scaled gray python, the total life span is twenty-three kalpas, and the remaining life span is four kalpas, and the absorption is completed]
…
[Remaining Demon Lifespan: One Hundred and Two Tribulations]
The power of the Three Baihong Immortals is actually not small. Just one of them has all the sixth-grade demons under his command.
Together, more than ten of them amounted to nearly sixty tribulations. Adding in the big guy Bai Yuxian and the rest of the previous ones, the remaining demon lifespan finally returned to three digits.
Shen Yi almost killed Hong Ze, but he only left with more than two hundred calamities.
He said less, mainly because he was comparing the number of kalpas required for the Tao Fruition.
The Taixu Dao Fruit ranks tenth among the Taiyi Seventy-two Dao Fruits. It will take one hundred and ninety-three kalpas to pick it.
“That’s all, take your time.”
Shen Yi closed her eyes and first poured the Demon Shou Yuan into the Heavenly Immortal Technique.
[Level 6. Xiaoyao Transformation Technique: Uninitiated]
He has already deduced this technique once, and with Ye Lan’s help, he has completely mastered it. Now he only needs to spend a normal amount of time to practice it.
Compared with the ascetic cultivation of the Bodhi Sect, the exercises of the Three Immortals Sect are obviously more complicated.
Shen Yi’s face turned slightly pale.
Fortunately, after undergoing hard training, my willpower has been greatly improved.
Even if the soul is in constant turmoil, the spirit can still be as stable as a rock and not be disturbed by external objects.
The power of the three true teachings is also fully demonstrated at this moment.
The wild methods of the Jade Dragon Sect were assimilated in an instant.
The Cangmu in the body changed from tangible to intangible, which was in line with the free and easy way. When it fell again, it was still the Cangmu, but it seemed to be able to get out at any time, rather than being confined to one place.
After six more transformations, the dense branches and leaves were already covered with silver light, like the full moon, and the golden lotus and dragon and tiger fruit below set off each other, like the sun and the moon rising together.
So far, the six tribulations of the true immortal, the six tribulations of the heavenly immortal, and the twelve tribulations are all complete.
This cold silver light is extremely rich, which forms a sharp contrast with the faint golden light on the lotus platform when it was forced to pick the fruit during the nine tribulations.
[Sixth Grade. Free and Easy Transformation Art: Perfection]
[Remaining Demon Lifespan: Ninety-eight Tribulations]
Shen Yi closed his eyes and looked inward.
In the rippling silver light, the high-hanging branches seemed a little empty, and it was clear that something was missing.
After experiencing the power of more than a hundred tribulations, the improvement of only six tribulations is not obvious, but the important thing is that through this Xiaoyao Huasheng Jue, Shen Yi gradually began to understand the meaning of Taixu.
He did not get up, but mobilized the demon life again and began to try to pick this Taixu Dao fruit.
…
In a quiet hall in Jianyang government office.
There was a middle-aged man sitting directly above, and the figure in the dark red cloak was slightly thin. He supported his cheek with one hand, as if he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
There were several people standing scattered below. Although they were in the government office, they were dressed differently. Obviously, they were not ordinary people in the government office.
When Ye Lan stepped into the hall, everyone looked at her sideways, and one of them reminded softly: “Something happened.”
“…”
Ye Lan’s face changed slightly. The reason why she was in a hurry to get back was that she felt that the matter of the Seven Treasures Bodhisattva’s teaching was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
If he had encountered a bottleneck and urgently needed the human imperial energy to break through, then the gains from this lecture, let alone a breakthrough, might not even be worth the four rounds of precious light that the other party had cut off by the court.
The gain is not worth the loss.
Sure enough, those people had follow-up actions.
“You’ve got it wrong, it’s not Bodhi Sect.” The man who reminded him shook his head and sighed helplessly.
Hearing this, Ye Lan’s eyes showed some doubts, but he still looked at the main seat in the hall first, and bowed to the middle-aged man in a dark red cloak.
The levels in the Demon Slayer Division are strictly divided.
From the lowest demon slayer, to the demon slayer officer guarding a prefecture, to the titled generals like Ye Lan, they all belong to the Great South Continent.
Going up, there are three Zhennan generals who are in charge of the entire Great South Continent Demon Slayer Division.
The man in front of him is one of them, called Yang Mingli.
Last time, the Seven Treasures Bodhisattva was preaching in Heshan, and disappeared in the clouds in the sky. He was one of the several figures that were chased after.
“This time it’s the Three Immortals Sect.”
Yang Mingli opened his eyes, and his expression showed no joy or anger: “A demon entered the Great South Continent and started a killing spree. Three government offices alone were destroyed. More than half of the seven demon slayers were injured or killed. Three demon slayers risked their lives to stop it, but all died.”
“Jianyang Prefecture is the fourth place it came to.”
His calm voice made everyone present look ashamed.
It must be the responsibility of these titled generals to let a demon wreak such havoc.
“Where is the Earth God?”
Ye Lan did not rush to blame himself, but frowned.
Since many colleagues were standing here, it meant that the demon had been subdued, so naturally he had to ask the reason first.
As the lowest-ranking immortal official in the Immortal Court, the strength of the Earth God is not high, but he can be clear about the changes in a place and then inform the court in time.
This is also a manifestation of the co-governance of Shenzhou by the Immortal Court and the Emperor.
It would be fine if it was just one place, but the Demon Slayer Department was late to realize that something was wrong after the three prefectures were in trouble.
“That’s the problem.”
Yang Mingli sat up slightly. He looked like a middle-aged man, but his movements were old and he was full of old age.
His turbid eyes slowly swept over the people below: “Our Earth God seemed to have taken a nap, but after the Demon Slayer Department captured this evil beast, it sent us its roots in less than half a day.”
“Has an owner?” Ye Lan reacted instantly.
Demons suppressed by the imperial aura and without the guidance of the immortals rarely cultivate to such a level of harming the people, but there are not many who dare to show up after something happens.
“Three Immortal Sect, the mount of the Qingmei Patriarch.” A colleague shook his palm with a gloomy look.
This sentence did not dispel the doubts in Ye Lan’s eyes. She knew Qingmei Taoist, and she had dealt with him not long ago because of the matter of Yulong Sect.
But he was just an idle Taiyi Immortal, and his face was not big enough to let General Yang bring a group of titled generals here to discuss.
Among the eight people present, at least six can easily take down the other party, let alone a mount.
“Three doubts.”
Yang Mingli raised his finger: “Why did the Earth God turn a blind eye, why is the mount of a Taiyi Immortal not weaker than her own, and… why did her Qingmei’s mount cause trouble, and it was her master who showed up in the end.”
Each of his questions made these people look a little ugly.
Taoist Qingmei’s master is called Jade Pool Patriarch, who has reached the level of Daluo Immortal Venerable. He has many disciples, and some of them are famous and serve as officials in the Immortal Court, such as Hong Jing.
Such a person actually sent a letter in person to save the life of the evil beast and bring him back to the sect for punishment. For this, Qingmei paid a lot of apology and sent it to the court as soon as possible.
“I can’t figure out these three questions, so I am a little flustered.”
Yang Mingli retracted his palm: “Of course, the court will think about these things. We just need to deal with the current affairs. Since the court has no intention of returning the compensation for the time being, after discussion between the three of us, we plan to… send this evil beast back.”
“However, we can’t send it in the name of the Divine Dynasty. We still have to consider these things for face. You are the peak master of Shenxu Mountain and a disciple of the Three Immortals Sect. You can barely be considered as their peers. Just pack up and go on the road.”
“…”
Ye Lan finally knew why so many colleagues came here to wait for her.
Her former false name has indeed been used to do things for the Demon Slaying Division.
For example, this time, if the court sent someone to escort it, it would be called sending it back on its own initiative. As a disciple of the Three Immortals Sect in public, she would come forward, and it would be considered that the Three Immortals Sect took it back.
She lowered her eyes and stared at the ground, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart for some reason.
It was not because she couldn’t lose this face, but because of something else.
“Did General Yan agree?” Ye Lan took a deep breath and looked back again.
“I knew you were going to mention him. He really disagreed, but the minority obeys the majority.” Yang Mingli stood up, walked to Ye Lan’s side, and whispered: “From the day you entered the Demon Slayer Division, you should have understood that in our line of work, the overall situation is the most important.”
“No one feels uncomfortable… but I have already smelled something. If something is wrong, Shenzhou will explode, at least it can’t be from the Great South Continent.”
The Immortal Court has not responded to the Seven Treasures Bodhisattva’s teachings so far.
This time the Earth God made such a move again.
This is not something that the Immortal Court that wants to rule Shenzhou with the Human Emperor should do.
“But I am no longer the master of Shenxu Mountain.”
Ye Lan was silent for a moment, and the voice made everyone look over.
“What happened?” Yang Mingli also frowned and looked over. He had always proposed that the Demon Slayer Division help Ye Lan to secure her position in the Three Immortals Sect, and even go further, but unfortunately he was rejected many times by the other party.
“The current leader of Danfeng is Shen Yi, the demon slayer of Jianyang Prefecture.” Ye Lan did not intend to explain too much, and just passed it over in one sentence.
“…”
Yang Mingli and the other titled generals obviously heard this unfamiliar name for the first time.
Seeing that Ye Lan stopped talking and was unwilling to elaborate, he was silent for a moment, but did not ask any more questions. At least this identity was still in the Demon Slayer Division.
“Then you go and explain it to him. Remember, come back as soon as possible.”
“Got it.”
Ye Lan nodded, but felt a little dry in the mouth.
Qingmei is a figure of the ancestor generation. To connect with him, he must have the same identity. This trip to Shenxu Mountain was originally to help Shen Yi, but she didn’t expect to encounter such a thing when she came back.
Thinking of the character of the young man, she really didn’t know how to start now.
