Chapter 1083: Chapter 681: Immortal List Volume 13, No Mention of Master in Every Volume_2

Cultivators who manage to reach Fifth Grade are viewed by others as towering mountains.

But when mountain ranges gather, there are still differences in heights.

"There you have it, the chaotic trends of the age are unstoppable, and there’s no one to counter the Three Religions. Where in the world is there a perfect solution? Since we cannot win, we must at least drag the opponent down with us."

Yang Mingli finally let out a breath: "I sent that Ape Demon back to let the world see where this calamity actually comes from. They think they can cultivate enemies for their own strength? Wishful thinking!"

If the common folk lose faith in the Imperial Court, at most it will weaken the Emperor’s Aura, but this aura absolutely cannot be consumed by those cultivators from the Three Religions. Only then can the Imperial Court retain enough leeway.

"Many people will die," Feng Xi closed her eyes.

The tactics employed by the Three Religions this time can be said to be extremely thorough and perfectly coordinated.

First, they reveal the True Scripture, causing the people’s thoughts to scatter, then they unleash demons to fill the populace with dread.

In such times, when everyone is for themselves, whenever someone dies due to a demonic calamity, they naturally place the blame on the Imperial Court, questioning why they are not allowed to cultivate the True Scripture for their own protection.

"Do you still remember why the Immortal Department was founded?"

Yang Mingli sneered, recalling the great drought caused by offending an Immortal Official, which left that boundless land barren, and all humans and animals perished. Since then, there existed a purpose for people like himself.

If the Divine Dynasty really changes rulers, without the restraint of the Human Emperor, such things will only become the norm.

The Human Emperor trades everlasting peace for the Emperor’s Aura from the people, but those exalted Immortals are more accustomed to compelling obedience from the mortal world with the might of thunder, which is more convenient and effortless.

Not taking part in the mortal world, yet wanting to govern mortals, isn’t that absurd?

"I know myself better than Elder Yan, in front of the Three Religions, you and I are but ants, unable to save this world, we can only do our best to delay."

"Even if we can’t help, at least don’t create more trouble."

"I know you want to help him look after the nine prefectures, but let me remind you, with his stubborn temperament, he will not change his mind until he takes a serious loss. At such a time, we three must stand unified, we can’t afford to harbor any dissent; otherwise, once he recovers from his injuries, he will continue to act this way."

Yang Mingli dropped these words and swiftly flew away on a cloud: "Think it over yourself."

...

The beautiful woman stood in place, taking out three letters she had prepared earlier, which were originally intended to be sent to Yan Lan of Wushan and another person in Nanyang.

She stared at the letters for a long while, then slowly put them away again.

...

In Jianyang Prefecture, Shen Mansion.

"I will also take my leave. If you have any doubts about the Taixu Daoist Technique, just send me a message."

Ye Lan walked to the outer courtyard, nodding at Shen Yi.

For some reason, although the young man seemed no different from usual, she inexplicably sensed a barely restrained murderous intent and impatience in his eyes.

For a cultivator practicing the Taixu Daoist Technique, this was very dangerous.

Wushan slowly emerged from the small courtyard, looking absent-minded. He had warned them of the consequences long before, yet here they were, lucky this time that Elder Yan was present and they narrowly escaped disaster.

But what about next time?

Would Elder Yan still be there, and even if he were, how many more injuries could that heavily wounded body sustain?

What was the meaning behind the family’s division this time? Was their aim really to kill the stubborn General of Southern Defense?

"Be careful on the road."

Shen Yi bowed in farewell.

He was about to turn back when he noticed a fluctuation of energy from nearby.

Under the watchful eyes of the three, a hunched and short figure emerged from the ground, holding a walking stick, his withered face carrying a trace of worry.

It was Min Zhiyan, the Land God of Jianyang Prefecture, who also served as the guide who brought Shen Yi into the Demon Slayer Bureau.

However, upon meeting again, the atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.

"I’ll be going now."

Wushan glanced indifferently at the old man and walked ahead without looking back.

The alliance between the Imperial Court and the Land God, which was originally close-knit, had completely fallen apart after the incident with the Ape Demon from the Jade Pond Immortal Sect and the silence of the Land Gods of the Three Prefectures.

Even Ye Lan merely nodded politely at him.

...

Min Zhiyan rubbed his old face, struggling to speak, and finally murmured: "This humble one pays respect to the officers."

Some things were beyond explanation.

Even though Min Zhiyan was not among the silent Land Gods, he had rushed to Jianyang Prefecture as soon as he heard the news, and by the time he arrived, the Ape Demon had already been captured.

But in the eyes of the Divine Dynasty, Land Gods were Immortal Officials, all tarred with the same brush.

Nevertheless, this was the truth, Min Zhiyan himself was clear that if the Immortal Court issued a decree, he would definitely not be able to defy it.

"Do you have business with me?"

Shen Yi extended a hand in greeting, not wasting time on pleasantries. For the Land God to visit under such circumstances, it must be an urgent matter.

"I..."

Min Zhiyan lowered his hand, never expecting that the only one who treated him no differently was Shen Yi, the man he had repeatedly claimed to watch with wariness and suspicion.

Of course, what was even more unexpected was that within a short time, this Loose Cultivator from a remote area had become an existence who could sit on an equal footing with Yan Lan of Wushan and others.

"I won’t go inside."

He waved his hand, managing a bitter smile: "I came to report an urgent matter, and I’ll leave once I’ve spoken."

Min Zhiyan raised his walking stick and pointed towards the direction of the three prefectures immediately adjacent to Jianyang: "Does Officer Shen know about the nearly deserted Immortal Sects nearby? Among these sects, there are sixteen whose holy lands were originally used by the True God Sect to suppress Evil Demons and now have been borrowed by the disciples of the Three Immortals Sect."
