Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 1060 - 673: Dragon Tiger Arhat, Where is Your Dragon Tiger?

Chapter 1060: Chapter 673: Dragon Tiger Arhat, Where is Your Dragon Tiger?

Sssssh——

The vast Heartflame slowly dissipated, leaving only the piercing mountain winds howling.

Jiang Mei, accompanied by the Zhao brothers, stood around with ugly expressions on their faces.

Since the incident involving the teaching of the Seven Treasures Bodhisattva, the relationship between the Three Religions and the Divine Dynasty had subtly begun to deteriorate.

They had not completely fallen out yet, simply because the Immortal Court had not yet responded.

But the behavior of this group of monks had become increasingly arrogant.

Even though they had already revealed their identities from the Divine Dynasty, these monks still wanted to take people from the court official.

Outside it might have been fine, but this is the territory of West Mountain Prefecture!

"Sigh."

The situation Jiang Mei feared most still occurred; General Wushan, due to his tardy arrival, was not yet present.

She struggled to think of how to resolve the current scene, when suddenly she heard the indifferent voice of General Nanyang.

The last chance?

Jiang Mei looked up in shock, and the expressions of the Zhao brothers beside her also changed drastically.

All of them were seeing this recently appointed Titled General for the first time and only began to understand his temperament through the actions of starting a fire.

Yet, they never anticipated that facing a strong member of the Bodhi Sect, General Nanyang would still be so assertive!

"This..."

The Zhao brothers silently looked at Jiang Mei, only needing to stall for more time. Once General Wushan arrived, with his vast experience, he could easily resolve this matter.

How could General Nanyang still intensify the conflict?

He is still too impetuous...

Jiang Mei could somewhat understand Shen Yi’s thinking; after all, it was his first mission in the capacity of a Titled General, and any normal person would want it to go smoothly to make a good impression upward.

However, actually fighting against someone from the Bodhi Sect was no small matter.

If they couldn’t win, it would be a loss of face for the Divine Dynasty, not to mention the risk of significant injury; if they did win, how to deal with this monk was another problem.

As for not really wanting to start a fight, but merely using such words to intimidate the disciples of the Bodhi Sect, it wasn’t very practical.

To put it bluntly, even the title of "court official" themselves was something they couldn’t specify in detail.

With this in mind, Jiang Mei quietly stepped forward, moving closer to the others.

However, before she could discuss with Shen Yi, Monk Zhi Kong had already spoken first: "Master, the Imperial Court’s demon suppression is a righteous act. You previously said that we are outsiders, and now interfering in this matter isn’t justifiable in reason or emotion. Better return to the monastery quickly!"

Even if Monk Zhi Kong lacked worldly experience, at this moment, he could see that Immortal Fellow Shen had refrained from taking immediate action solely because of him.

Knowing Master Hui Zhen’s strength, he couldn’t just stand by and watch conflicts arise between them.

Speaking such heavy words as a junior was already a bit too presumptuous, but Zhi Kong still firmly grasped his master’s wrist.

"..."

Hui Zhen Monk felt the trivial force from the wrist, slowly retracted his smile, and did not mind the foolish monk but stared straight at Shen Yi.

"Does the official mean to offer me an opportunity?"

He leisurely lifted the end of the iron rod that Shen Yi was holding.

"What if I say I do not need this opportunity?"

Hui Zhen Monk’s expression was calm, and his voice carried a touch of unconcerned ease.

"Impudent monk! How dare you!"

Jiang Mei could already smell the gunpowder and immediately, without hesitation, shook her hand, and a bright yellow fabric fell, displaying the text and Big Seal, which was indeed the Divine Dynasty’s Demon-suppressing Document.

"Do you dare defy the Divine Dynasty?"

"Tsck."

Hui Zhen Monk shook his head lightly, indifferently spoke: "Such a big accusation, I dare not accept it, yet—"

He elongated his voice, and his pupils shimmered with golden light: "A single thieving monk might not take away this calamity, but what about an Arhat, does he have the face to capture this demon and bring it back to the monastery?"

"Court official, sir?"

Hui Zhen Monk asked meaningfully toward the young man before him.

If even in person, the Bodhi Sect can’t protect the lives of these disciples, then how can the grand plans of the monastery be carried out?

Now, either the Divine Dynasty or the Bodhi Sect had to bow down.

The situation is stronger than the people; no matter which backbone is thicker, when it comes down to realities, one must see whose methods are stronger.

Today, he protected this Jiao demon.

"..."

Feeling the entirely different golden brilliance from that of the Jiao demon, almost everyone present changed their expressions.

Even Zhi Kong did not anticipate that his master would really stand up for a calamity-causing beast to the extent of taking action within the Divine Dynasty!

The faces of the three Demon Slayers had already turned extremely ugly.

The Imperial Court’s judgment was indeed correct; starting from that Bodhisattva’s teaching, this group of monks had become increasingly overbearing.

This was not merely a contest over the life of a demon, it was clearly a struggle for the superiority between the Three Religions and the Imperial Court.

Disaster! It has blown up!

Should today’s events be leaked, others would surely follow suit, and the Imperial Court would find it difficult to suppress these people.

Just then.

Shen Yi glanced at Zhi Kong and finally stood up slowly, looking straight at Hui Zhen Monk, shaking his head earnestly: "To me, you have no face."

"Huh?"

Hui Zhen was clearly unprepared for this young man to speak to him in such a manner.

He paused for a moment, then smiled again.

But compared to his previous mild demeanor, this smile was filled with ferocity: "Just remember, my dharma name is Hui Zhen, I am the Dragon Tiger Arhat of the Bodhi Sect."
