Chapter 1091: Chapter 684 Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing, Great Fruit Position_2

The mobilization of such a large military force from the Three Prefectures had caught the attention of both General Feng and General Yang.

These troops, who happened to be passing through the Three Prefectures, were acting on the orders of the two Generals of Southern Defense, ready to control the situation if problems arose.

But at this moment... not to mention seeking their help, the original forces of the Three Prefectures had not even been utilized, and the Imperial Court’s battle formations, blessed with the Emperor’s Aura, had yet to make a move when the incident had already been resolved.

Such a strange turn of events naturally aroused everyone’s curiosity.

They all turned their gazes towards the young man on the official road, finding it hard to believe that such an inconspicuous and solitary figure was the "reason" for it all.

Just then, an Auspicious Cloud falteringly followed behind.

Seeing the pale-faced Wushan, everyone finally realized: "So that’s how it is."

If you count this Fourth Grade powerhouse, then it makes sense.

But with Wushan exerting so much effort, was he determined to side with General Yan?

"How did you end up like this?"

Yan Lanting glanced at him with some dissatisfaction: "We are short of hands right now, be more careful when you take action."

As a Taiyin True Immortal, failing to eliminate a horde of demons was understandable due to their sheer numbers, but to be injured by them was a bit excessive.

"Hiss."

Wushan looked at Elder Yan with a weird face, who was also seriously injured, and thought, do you have the face to say that?

Unfortunately, even with eight hundred guts, he wouldn’t dare say it out loud.

Thinking this, Wushan shook his head: "It’s a personal matter, I have it under control."

"A personal matter?" Yan Lanting raised an eyebrow.

Then he saw Wushan bow and report everything he had observed, omitting only the final confrontation with the Great Arhat of the Bodhi Sect.

After all, his relationship with Shen Yi was tense, and reporting it now seemed too much like a deliberate attempt to take credit; he couldn’t afford to lose face.

Besides, Wushan didn’t want to get involved in this murky situation. With many eyes watching, it would be troublesome if the Three Religions deemed him a thorn in their side.

Of course, he still gave a reminder: "There are still people from the Three Immortals within the Divine Dynasty looking for opportunities, so be extra careful in the future."

Unfortunately, his words were ignored by everyone.

Including both Yan Lanting and Ye Lan, there was a brief moment of shock.

After all, the scene described by Wushan didn’t quite fit with the Shen Yi they saw before them.

"By the time I arrived, I found that the demons were not scattered, but had all been exterminated, not a single survivor."

This statement not only confirmed that the calamity of the Demon Suppressing Tower had been completely resolved but also revealed an important message: the event had nothing to do with Wushan and was indeed the act of General Nanyang alone.

In an instant, the entire Sky Curtain fell into silence.

"..."

Feeling the many astonished gazes, Shen Yi felt slightly uncomfortable and frowned.

A person harboring too many secrets does not like being exposed under the public eye.

He simply bowed to Elder Yan and then stepped past the military formation, heading back towards Jianyang Prefecture.

Yan Lanting quietly watched as Shen Yi left, and after a long silence, his gaze suddenly swept around.

After looking around, he casually massaged his neck and shoulder, remarking with a sigh, "Some people just want to see this old man bow his head to them, tsk."

"Unfortunately..."

A smile gradually spread across Yan Lanting’s withered face: "Maybe it’s because I’m getting older, my bones have stiffened, and I simply can’t lower my head even if I wanted to."

Upon hearing this, a few Titled Generals showed embarrassed expressions.

General Yang had sent them here, yet held back from taking action. The implied meaning was too obvious.

Unfortunately, the person in question didn’t need their help, and even though they were mocked, they could only obediently endure it.

Someone’s Communication Jade Scroll at their waist flickered lightly.

Outside the nine prefectures.

In a tower.

Yang Mingli leaned back in his chair, clearly hearing the mockery, and clenched his cup quietly, yet he made no move to bring it to his lips.

"It’s a good thing for Great Nan Continent to have such a capable general emerge from your ranks; you shouldn’t be so petty," Feng Xi said helplessly, glancing at him and speaking softly to persuade.

"A good thing..."

Yang Mingli met her gaze and with a cold smile said, "That’s just a casual move by the Three Immortals Sect, and the troublemakers were only a bunch of Fifth Grade demons. If such a small disturbance could wake that old man up, now that would truly be a good thing."

"And what if next time, the Three Religions come for real?"

"He’s just an old fool who doesn’t know the heights of the heavens or the depths of the earth, and a young brat throwing a tantrum!"

"You..." Feng Xi clenched her fist, sighed softly, and turned her gaze to the side.

"I won’t explain to you, one day you’ll realize I was right," Yang Mingli put down his cup and strode out of the tower.

...

In Jianyang Prefecture, at Shen Mansion.

As soon as Shen Yi returned to the courtyard, Ye Lan arrived soon after.

She intently gazed at the back of her junior brother, her clear eyes flickering with uncertainty. Even during their last encounter in Bihai, she had noticed his rapid progress, far surpassing ordinary people.

But now, realizing she couldn’t deal with the fierce demons inside the Demon Suppressing Tower on her own, Ye Lan was still full of shock.

At what point had this young man quietly surpassed her?

With such a calm and gentle demeanor, to the point where she didn’t notice at all, where was the prideful disposition one would expect from a young man?

"Is there something you need?" Shen Yi turned to look.

"No...nothing," Ye Lan shook her head, restraining the turmoil in her heart: "I just want to remind you to take some time to accompany me back to Shenxu Mountain later."
