Chapter 1081: Chapter 680 Everything Has Me_3

```

Two people stopped Yan Lanting, saying in a low voice, "What happened to you, to be injured like this?"

"Shut your nonsense, it’s clear that I am the victor. It’s already impressive for him to make it back to the Bodhi Sect."

Yan Lanting, with a proud smile, had not yet finished speaking when suddenly he spewed out a mouthful of blood plasma, his previously healthy and rosy cheeks instantly turned deathly pale.

He turned his face away, casually wiping the blood from the corner of his lips: "Anyway, I won."

"Brother Yan!" Feng Xi couldn’t help but call out impatiently.

Of course, he had won. After all, it was within the territory of the Divine Dynasty, with the suppression of the Emperor’s Aura; otherwise, that Bodhisattva would not have left in such a rush.

But what is there to be proud of?

The three of them, as Generals of Southern Defense, have the duty to oversee the Great Nan Continent, not to quarrel with the Bodhi Sect. This was an avoidable dispute.

"Have you ever considered that with your current state, you can’t protect the nine prefectures?" Yang Mingli cast a somber glance at him.

"As long as I am still breathing, how can I fail to protect?"

Yan Lanting scoffed, stepping past the two and headed straight toward Jianyang Prefecture.

"..." Yang Mingli and Feng Xi both fell into silence.

If it’s to fight with lives on the line, ignoring the hidden injuries within and not pursuing the great Dao, of course, they could continue to protect until a complete downfall, but what is the point of it all?

...

Jianyang Prefecture.

The Lotus Platform flew across the sky, the Bodhisattva sat with a thousand hands trailing behind, as rigid as a stone statue.

His eyes were downcast as if he’d fallen into a deep sleep.

The black dog looked down bewilderedly, its eyes completely lusterless.

At that moment, it seemed to see something, its body trembling slightly, dodgingly shifting its gaze away, curling itself up.

"You wicked beast, what did you see?"

The Bodhisattva, who had been feigning sleep, slowly opened his eyes, a hand reaching out slowly, seizing the black dog by the neck and lifting it up.

The black dog was half-opening its mouth in a daze, not struggling, not even making a sound, as if resigned to its fate.

At the same time, within a certain residence.

"Phew, finally gone."

Ye Lan watched the Lotus Platform fade into the distance, exhaling in relief, then turned to see Shen Yi staring silently at the Sky Curtain, his face devoid of any joy of having survived a calamity.

"What’s wrong?"

"Nothing, perhaps I saw it wrong," Shen Yi slowly withdrew his gaze.

"Goodness."

Just then, an old man walked slowly into the courtyard. Upon seeing Shen Yi, a hint of surprise crossed his eyes, "I thought you would have run away by now."

"I received the news too late, didn’t have time," Shen Yi looked up and said.

"You’re quite candid in your speech," Yan Lanting said with a faint smile.

He approached and patted the young man’s shoulder lightly, "You just do your part, I’ve said it before, everything is under my watch."

Shen Yi remained in Jianyang, signifying a form of trust.

Fortunately, although he was old, he did not let down the trust of his subordinates.

"Go then, no need to see me off."

Yan Lanting came here to check on Shen Yi’s situation, and after speaking, he left briskly.

The three stood in silence until the elder completely disappeared from view.

"Sigh," Wushan let out a sigh. Although their cultivation was not as profound as the General of Southern Defense, they were no common folk. How could they not see that the old gentleman was forcing himself to stand firm?

With the only General of Southern Defense for the nine prefectures injured like this, the three of them could hardly keep it under control.

Not to mention, the Bodhisattva leaving like that, surely having suffered a considerable loss, would he be able to bear such grievance?

When the time comes for his followers to seek revenge, the situation on the Great Nan Continent will only worsen.

"At least this disaster is over for now," Ye Lan tried to cheer everyone up with forced spirit.

"..."

Shen Yi shook his head and went back inside.

He sat down by the bed and looked through the window at the sky.

This feeling of being protected by someone didn’t seem to bring much comfort to his heart.

But with his current level of strength, compared to these real Immortal Gods, it’s like the difference between the clouds and the mud; let alone intervene, even just being a bystander was unwarranted.

Besides Elder Yan, Shen Yi’s gaze flickered as he recalled the brief eye contact with the black dog amidst the Sky Curtain.

With his mortal vision, of course, he would misjudge many things.

Like mistaking a Spirit Beast belonging to a Bodhisattva for an old friend.

But the black dog’s forceful avoidance in recognizing him significantly reduced the likelihood of a mistaken identity.

When they parted before, although he had instructed the other to be careful on their journey,

In this world where the eyes of gods and buddhas cover the skies, what does being careful even mean?
