“…”

Yan Lanting suddenly stood up, the aura belonging to the Daluo Immortal Venerable overwhelming and sweeping through the hall.

Indeed, not a single monk of the Bodhi Sect is any good!

So easily, Nanyang was betrayed.

If my perception is correct, the aura emanating from this young monk is identical to that of the black dog back then, meaning that his life was saved by Nanyang’s risky rescue.

To think that back then I felt that the Beast Transformation Technique of the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva was too evil, and I even spoke up for this person. Now it seems that they truly deserve their punishment!

If this word gets out, no matter what disaster strikes in the future, the first reaction of the court officials and the people of the Demon Slayer Bureau would be to place the blame on Nanyang.

A savior, who rescued the Southern Continent not just once, why should they suffer such grievances.

“Do not be impetuous!”

Feng Xi sensed something amiss and quickly blocked Yan Lanting from advancing.

Though she blocked him, when she looked at the monk in the hall again, her expression was filled with astonishment and complexity.

Even if she did not interact much with Nanyang, everyone had some understanding of his carefree nature. For example, when he first appeared in everyone’s sight, it was by arbitrarily killing the Ape Demon of the Jade Pond Immortal Sect.

But even so.

Feng Xi also did not expect that under the shocking actions of garrisoning Songfeng Prefecture and intercepting the Bodhisattva Scripture, General Nanyang, in silence, committed an even more terrifying act.

Bodhisattva… Immortal Venerable…

These giants, who could shake a world, had fallen without the Divine Dynasty knowing.

Thus, the previous thought that the Three Religions turmoil had subsided was merely the precursor to a greater storm!

For a moment, even wanting to ease the atmosphere, Feng Xi opened her mouth but was somewhat at a loss for words.

In contrast to Yan Lanting, Ye Lan instinctively held the sword hilt at first, then slightly pursed her lips, and finally trembled as she let go of the long sword at her waist.

Compared to others, she knew Shen Yi better and knew he would never misjudge a person.

Master Zhi Kong’s words now were likely all instructed by Shen Yi.

She just couldn’t understand why, whether as a Demon Slayer, or now as General of Southern Defense, Shen Yi did everything for the Divine Dynasty without owing anything, even to a supererogatory extent, yet still shouldered all the pressure.

“…”

Yang Mingli was stunned for a long time, with residual anger on his face, but his mind was already spinning, powerless to support himself on the table, and he seemed somewhat dazed.

Originally, the Three Religions planned to temper the younger generation through a breeding scheme, meanwhile eroding the Human Emperor’s stature in the hearts of the worldly masses.

Accomplishing a silent dynastic change.

But after the true Third Grade experts fell, this calamity turned into a battle that could overturn heaven and earth, its brutality incomparable to before.

When those Bodhisattva Immortal Venerables no longer cherished life, the terrifying power they could unleash was unimaginable.

If Yang Mingli previously harbored hopes of recommending General Nanyang to intimidate the Three Religions’ juniors, delaying the chaos in the Great Nan Continent, waiting for the Imperial Court to provide a new solution, perhaps there was still a sliver of hope.

But now that the two religions even disregard the True Gods, and started serious actions, breaking through the Great Nan Continent is nothing but an easy task.

The eight Demon Venerables, led by the Southern Emperor, are a certain strike for the two religions.

Now the sword has reached the eyebrow, and Yang Mingli realized he could do nothing but watch helplessly as his brow was pierced through.

“Alas!”

He closed his eyes, not blaming Shen Yi.

After all, the other party had good intentions.

A strong expert capable of slaying Bodhisattvas and Immortal Venerables, regardless of means, could at least ensure self-preservation.

Yet General Nanyang chose to stand with the Divine Dynasty.

It merely accelerated the inevitable demise of the boiling frog scenario.

“I… I’ll report to the Imperial Court and see if we can request assistance.”

Yang Mingli shakily returned behind the table, took out paper and brush, his once cloud-turning hand now barely able to hold the brush.

Everyone present watched the elderly man with a desolate aura keenly.

Though unaware of what precisely occurred in the Imperial Court, whether it was due to other continents being in greater urgency, or accumulating strength for a desperate fight, everyone knew that if support were possible, it would have come long ago; why the need for another plea?

Despite such thoughts, no one interrupted him.

The consensus among those in the hall was unexpectedly uniform.

That is to do everything that needs to be done, to fight like praying mantises until the last drop of blood flows, and then await the unstoppable wheels to roll over…

…

A top-priority urgent letter drifted lightly into the majestic Imperial City.

The Human Emperor had long ceased attending to court affairs, indulging in a debauched life within the garden and the wine pool.

It is said that emperors must not seek immortality, for once the desire for immortality arises, their mind no longer holds the world and its people.

Who could have imagined that the once resurgent ruler now only had the word “Immortal” in his heart?

Yet, it was not the immortality achieved through cultivation but rather related to the Immortal Department.

Only matters involving the Immortal Department could enter this secluded and serene garden.

“Your Majesty.”

Lin Shuya quickly approached the wine pool, opened the letter in his hand, and respectfully addressed the figure soaking in the pool.

“Speak.”

The old man with a missing front tooth, his face flushed, drunkenly turned his face slightly, using an imperceptible frown to conceal the pain in his eyes.
