Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 1111 - 694 My Buddha’s Mercy

Chapter 1111: Chapter 694 My Buddha’s Mercy

Immortal Sect is abuzz, but the large mansion in Jianyang Prefecture remains desolate as ever.

Shen Yi sits desolately in the courtyard, seemingly lost in thought, but in reality, he is fully concentrated on concealing his aura. Ever since he returned to Shen Zhou, he had been assisting the five Hall Masters of Ten Thousand Demon Hall in seizing the Immortal Seal.

Now, the warm and translucent Big Seal quietly lies within the Finger Ring.

Shen Yi retracts his spiritual consciousness and calms his emotions.

The matter of Hongze can finally be put to rest. Hearing from Qinghua, the Heavenly Official from Immortal Court has arrived to investigate the plentiful evidence collected early at East Dragon Palace, making the entire process incredibly smooth.

Shi Ren, having been Emperor for too long, had become too complacent, not even bothering to disguise his intentions.

Since he had also made a move against Merit Immortal, this matter could even involve Jade Pond Immortal Sect. As for what happens next, that is the concern of Immortal Court, not related to Hongze.

Since Shen Yi’s transmigration, his only wish has been to secure a stable existence, free from worries of life and death.

From the moment he killed Qingluan, he gave all these responsibilities to the people of Hongze, excluding himself.

...

These resentments did not dissipate, but rather, transferred from Hongze onto him, the Peak Master of Shenxu Mountain.

Neither Tianwu Mountain nor Shenxu Ancestor would let him go.

Shen Yi opens his eyes, silently gazing at the Azure Sky, then shows a helpless smile.

He might be a bit naive in cultivation, but he is not a fool. What others can see, he can at least discern a part of it.

This realm is on the brink of chaos, with many cultivators stepping into calamity.

Forced into this great calamity, yet he feels distinctly out of place.

Firstly, he doesn’t even know what exactly this calamity is about, and secondly, while others have the support of their sects, he must also beware that Shenxu Ancestor could awake at any moment, ready to consume him along with the Heavenly Gifted Immortal Pill.

Besides internal worries, external threats are equally serious.

Tianwu Mountain, intending to rise again through the legacy of Immortal Venerable, would inevitably have to tread over his dead body.

Besides, the saying goes, "The crowning bird catches the worm."

Though defeating Qingluan was gratifying, many eyes witnessed it. With the news spreading, other celestial talents from different Immortal Sects would certainly see him as a thorn in their side.

Speaking of the Bodhi Sect...

Shen Yi purses his lips, a vision of a Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva and the black hound clutched by the neck beneath it appear in his mind.

If his guess is correct, the fact that he can still sit peacefully in the mansion’s courtyard is probably thanks to Master Zhi Kong’s tight-lipped secrecy.

As for those True Gods, Shen Yi now has a certain understanding.

They are fair, indeed, but it’s also true that they take no sides... or rather, their very existence is a kind of stance, unlikely to involve themselves in such matters.

All things considered, it seems his only reliance now could just be Imperial Court.

Thinking thus, Shen Yi looks back over his shoulder.

"How are your injuries?" Ye Lan walks over slowly, asking with concern. She didn’t see the struggle between the five Hall Masters and the Immortal Seal Leopard Spirit, only thinking this young junior uncle had sustained hidden injuries from fighting Qingluan, and was now trying to regulate his breath to recover.

"It’s no longer a concern."

Shen Yi inwardly sighs, reluctantly withdrawing his gaze.

Even Ye Lan specifically reminded him upon her return to avoid revealing his identity of "Heavenly Pill" from Shenxu Mountain as much as possible.

The logic is simple.

Demon Slayer Bureau exists because the Imperial Court can provide cultivators with precious resources unavailable elsewhere, which is where their confidence comes from.

But now, a Peak Master from Dan Peak highly "valued" by Shenxu Ancestor, to any sane individual, obviously wouldn’t lack such resources.

Under the current tense situation, any celestial talent from the Three Religions is a potential big problem for the Imperial Court in the future!

Then comes the question.

Why did Shen Yi join the Demon Slayer Bureau?

Ye Lan was once a Peak Master of Dan Peak, but with her lineage annihilated and sidelined by her peers, even unable to maintain the Dan Peak inherited from her master, joining the Demon Slayer Bureau is reasonable.

But what about "Heavenly Pill"?

A respected second-generation disciple of Shenxu Mountain, with the whole sect supporting him as if he were a direct descendant, and this Taoist of Heavenly Pill, also very commendable, fighting for his sect, combating Tianwu Qingluan at Hongze, earning great renown.

Such a person, inexplicably serving the Imperial Court, making enemies with Three Immortals Sect?

Who would believe it if told, not even Shen Yi himself believes.

Of course, Elder Yan might be reliable, but if this General of Southern Defense falls, or if the situation exceeds his control.

Can anyone else from the Imperial Court still be trusted?

Only Three Religions and Divine Dynasty could stir heavens and earth.

Shen Yi now finds himself in such an awkward position, seemingly related to everyone, but when it really comes down to it, he cannot rely on anyone.

"Then I can only rely on myself."

He sighs in his heart, slowly standing up, as Qinghua’s voice echoes in his mind.

"My lord, why not simply leave the Demon Slayer Bureau?"

She now serves as an Immortal General, able to see more and somewhat offer advice for her master.

Since he can rely on no one, why not detach himself and watch from the sidelines to avoid being involved?

With an Immortal General as a scout, Shenxu Mountain for cover, and possessing strength that suppresses Fourth Grade, maintaining oneself should not be difficult.

...

Shen Yi remains silent for a moment, unexpectedly recalling the moment when the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva appeared at West Mountain Prefecture, Elder Yan, seriously injured, forced a smile, patting his shoulder and saying, "Leave everything to me."

Qinghua quickly grasps her master’s intent, her tone shifts: "Or perhaps there are other methods."
