Chapter 1055: Chapter 671: The First Campaign of General Nanyang

"Ah."

Wushan first watched Elder Yan’s retreating figure until he was out of sight, then turned his head and glanced at Shen Yi beside him, slowly exhaling a sigh.

He was thick-skinned in habit, and even though he didn’t quite agree with the elder’s assessment, he had no intention of arguing.

What was more important now was that since the matter was settled, it was better to divide responsibilities in advance.

If he really mixed with those two youngsters, he could forget about being promoted to the General of Southern Defense in his lifetime.

"You’re different from her, just having been appointed as a Titled General. Come with me, I’ll explain in detail to you."

Wushan waved his hand, leading the two towards another hall in the Government Office.

As a senior colleague, he didn’t put on airs; instead, he personally poured hot tea for them both: "Sit."

"In our line of work, there’s not any specific task to do; whatever problem arises in Great Nan Continent, we have to deal with it, commonly known as cleaning up after others. You should know some, being more familiar with Yan Lan."

"Whenever your subordinates cause trouble, you have to settle it; when they encounter formidable enemies, you have to lend a hand. It’s tiring, but the rewards from above are also exceptionally valuable."

"In short, no matter what you do, just don’t cause any trouble."

Wushan, holding a teacup, sat down next to Shen Yi, quietly suppressing his smile: "But I’ll say the unpleasant part upfront: since the three Generals of Southern Defense have divided their territories, it’s best we also make a clear division."

"Since you’re new to the Demon Slayer Bureau and not very familiar with Great Nan Continent, how about taking the three closest large prefectures—Jianyang, West Mountain, and Linhe? What do you say?"

At those words, Shen Yi hadn’t spoken yet; Ye Lan had already furrowed her brows: "What kind of joke is this, two of those prefectures have just suffered from demon calamities, with experienced Demon Slayers either dead or injured in large numbers, mostly replaced by newbies..."

"What’s the rush."

Wushan gave a sheepish smile, explaining, "I’m also not familiar with this side, and besides, the young brother hasn’t said anything yet."

"It’s possible."

Shen Yi nodded lightly, cutting off their conversation.

He seemed to see through General Wushan: people might argue whether he was a bad person, but he was definitely slick.

But actually, this was quite in line with Shen Yi’s thoughts.

When the Land God assisted the people of Hongze in finding a way out, most of those routes were near Jianyang. Holding this region in his hands would make him feel more at ease.

"Straightforward! No wonder Elder Yan thinks so highly of you; General Nanyang is truly promising at a young age!"

Wushan’s face bloomed with joy, uttering flattery he himself didn’t believe.

Of course, that’s how they divided it; if a real problem arose in those prefectures, he couldn’t possibly ignore it.

But in any case, at least he wouldn’t have to deal with trivial matters himself alongside a group of Demon Slayers who knew nothing, saving him much trouble.

"And for us two, it doesn’t matter, let’s go with whatever."

As Wushan spoke, he casually allocated the remaining prefecture, also struck by the demon calamity, to Ye Lan, then quickly bade them farewell as if afraid they might change their minds:

"The Communication Jade Tokens for the Demon Slayer Officer of the three prefectures, I’ll send someone to deliver them to you later. I have some matters to attend to, so I won’t keep you company any longer, please take care."

Before his voice even fell, the burly and plump figure had already vanished from the spot.

"..."

Ye Lan looked displeased; it seemed she had been at a disadvantage before this man more than once.

She took a light breath, then looked towards Shen Yi with some apology: "That’s just the way he is. General Yan chose him because his strength is indeed formidable. Please bear with him, don’t pay attention to his nonsense. If anything happens, feel free to find me."

"It’s fine."

Shen Yi put down his teacup, not in a rush to stand up, and began to inquire about Taixu Daoist Techniques.

Only after truly practicing the Dao Fruit Method of a Qi Refiner does one understand the difference from the Fruit Position Great Scripture.

For a Walker who endures hardships in training, as long as they can maintain their Divine Soul, every infusion of the Power of One Tribulation can be converted into an actual advancement of the Boundary, which is different.

Shen Yi poured nearly eighty Tribulations worth of Demon Lifespan into his Taixu Daoist Technique, which converted into a Boundary improvement, less than sixty Tribulations worth.

On that Azure Wood resembling the Moon Plate, the Dao Fruit had only condensed less than one-third.

This was still under the enlightenment of Ye Lan.

Of course, there were advantages and disadvantages. After all, the Bodhi Sect could only choose to undergo Tribulation Transcending, whether it be the tribulation of the flesh or of the heart, but the Three Immortals Sect could consume Heaven and Earth Treasures and refine Elixirs to assist cultivation.

The two sat in silence.

As Shen Yi continued to ask more questions, Ye Lan responded earnestly, but her eyes gradually revealed shock.

She knew the young man’s talent was terrifying, otherwise, he couldn’t rise from obscurity, but she had never imagined it to be to such an extent.

Ye Lan hadn’t even seen Shen Yi meditate and practice, yet his mastery of the Taixu Daoist Technique could absolutely be said to be well on its way.

Until the night grew deep and quiet, Shen Yi finally stood up: "Thank you."

"You’re welcome. I don’t have much more to continue teaching." Ye Lan helplessly stood up in response, if she continued, it would involve her understanding of the Fourth Grade Dao Fruit.

The path she followed, that of the Taixu Immortal Sword, might not suit Shen Yi and instead could lead him astray.

"I take my leave."

The two said their farewells.

Shen Yi reflected on the gains from earlier as he strolled back to his residence.

The Demon Lifespan was running low.

He took the Golden Core from inside the Finger Ring and played with it carefully.

This item was condensed from the Human Emperor Qi, a tiny piece containing the power of a hundred Tribulations.

Such an item would probably tempt even a Fourth Grade Cultivator.
