Chapter 1002: Chapter 649 How Dare You Come Out (7K Supplement 3K, Still Owing 13K)

"What’s wrong?"

Min Zhiyan was taken aback; it was the first time he had seen such an obvious emotional fluctuation on Officer Shen’s face.

He couldn’t help but feel a bit of surprise and uncertainty.

Was everything not all right just a moment ago?

"It’s nothing."

Shen Yi remained silent for a long time, quickly adjusted his breathing, shook his head, and turned away from the Land Temple.

If one could endure the vendetta for patricide, could Zi Yang truly maintain his sanity when he personally witnessed the bearer of the Magic Treasure that still suppressed his father’s Remnant Soul, eternally tormenting it?

It should be known that Zi Yang did not go alone; he was accompanied by many old friends from Hongze.

Moreover, if Zi Ling were to see these beings from Hongze, it would naturally become apparent that Shi Ren had met with an accident, and going to Hongze to investigate would seem the obvious next step.

Shen Yi had long anticipated that the time left for himself was short, but when the day truly arrived, he still felt somewhat unsettled.

The exposure of killing an Immortal Official would be akin to rebellion, not something one person could contend against alone.

Now, both the paths of cultivator and immortal had reached the Seventh Grade Perfect Realm, an accomplishment that would be notable anywhere.

But faced with such a situation, it seemed completely inadequate.

"..."

Meng Xiuwen noticed something amiss but didn’t ask further, only quietly quickening his pace, leading them back to Jianyang Prefecture, into Ye Lan’s room, and then pulled Ye Jing out, closing the door behind them.

It should be known that even in front of an Immortal Official, this Officer Shen dared to kill a cultivator from White Cloud Cave.

If it was a matter that could cause him such a headache, perhaps the only one left in the entire Jianyang Prefecture who could help would be Ye Lan.

"What’s happened?"

Ye Lan glanced at the tightly closed door, then back at the young man standing before her, roughly guessing the situation: "Speak freely."

As a Titled General of the Demon Slayer Bureau, it was his duty to solve problems for his subordinates.

Of course, that’s providing it wasn’t too excessive.

Ye Lan observed Shen Yi’s silent expression, recalling the big trouble he caused last time, which ended with an attitude that he needed no help from others, saving her quite a bit of trouble.

She rubbed her temples and sighed softly in her heart... Well, even if it was a bit excessive, it could be acceptable.

"Shen Yi would like to ask the General for a favor."

Shen Yi slowly bowed with great respect, as he was not accustomed to asking for help: "If possible, I hope the General can ensure the safe return of my friends back to Jianyang."

"Hmm?"

Ye Lan had prepared herself to hear about a major problem, but as the words faded, she looked up, somewhat astonished.

Was it just this?

Such a small matter warranted such seriousness from him.

This time at He Mountain’s event, it wasn’t just the Titled Generals attending; the Imperial Court valued it immensely, sending quite a few prominent figures from the Imperial Capital.

Under such circumstances, offering protection for a few people in the name of the Demon Slayer Bureau should be exceedingly simple.

"Anything else? Say it all at once." Ye Lan stood and walked behind him.

"That’s all."

Shen Yi released his hands, earnestly saying: "After this matter, I owe you a favor."

Unnoticed by anyone, a faint, desperate madness flickered in his eyes.

Zi Ling must not return to the heavens nor go to Hongze.

The rest of the matters were not ones where relationships as colleagues could spur others to lend a hand.

On this trip to He Mountain, at all costs, he had to obtain the Cultivation Technique leading to the Sixth Grade for the practitioners.

"..."

Ye Lan nodded lightly; she naturally did not take the young man’s promise too seriously, but she could tell that Shen Yi truly wasn’t used to asking for help, so there was no need to rebuff his pride.

"So, who exactly wants to harm your friends?" She looked back at him curiously.

Shen Yi met her gaze but did not respond, simply pointing towards the roof.

"The heavens?"

Ye Lan’s eyebrows rose slightly, clearly taken aback.

She was curious how a group of cultivators from a remote area managed to offend those immortals in the heavens.

But her curiosity was fleeting.

She soon shifted her gaze away: "Alright."

Now that she had agreed, the origins mattered little.

"Let’s head out."

...

In a certain county town in the Great Nan Continent.

At high noon, the entire city was already packed to the brim, bustling with activity and lacking in tranquility.

This place was no exception, with all neighboring towns near the white-cloud-enshrouded mountain sharing a similar scene.

A mix of immortals and mortals, the bustling scene truly represented a prosperous era.

The mountain, originally unnamed and known only by its shape, would henceforth be known by another name.

The site where the Seven Treasures Bodhisattva taught.

"Sigh."

Zi Yang patted his chest firmly, settling the excitement in his heart.

His excitement wasn’t really about He Mountain; the Bodhisattva was too revered and far removed for a Wild Demon like himself, and the scriptures taught by them would probably sound like gibberish to the common folk.

What really caught Zi Yang’s interest were the formidable cultivators who filled his field of vision in the small county, each with an extraordinary aura.

These people were clearly from prestigious backgrounds, and it was possible that any one of them had a direct lineage to the Immortal Court.

"Look around, chat more, and perhaps one of the immortals would be willing to take you in and rebuild your Tao Body," Zi Yang reminded softly to the side.

If it were anyone else, he might have had selfish motives, hoping that these people, after obtaining an opportunity, would remember him, remember the old dragon of Eastern Hong who met a tragic end, and offer assistance when the time came.
