Chapter 1113: Chapter 694 Merciful Buddha_3

Upon his departure, the Demon Slayer Officer turned back to face the two men in the courtyard, performing a respectful greeting with a helpless expression.

"Your lesser servant has seen the two Generals."

His complexion uncertain, he hesitated for a long time before approaching Shen Yi and quietly asked, "Your lesser servant dares to ask, General Nanyang. When you last went to the Demon Suppressing Tower to subdue demons, did you truly eradicate them all?"

Questioning a Titled General of his stature.

Although the Demon Slayer Bureau wasn’t as strictly hierarchical as the government offices of the Imperial Court, this was still extremely rare, indicative of his discontent.

"..." Ye Lan lifted his gaze in confusion, was this matter actually related to the Demon Suppressing Tower?

"Mm." Shen Yi didn’t hesitate and simply nodded his head.

He might have reservations about other matters, but concerning the Lifespan Years of Demons, stating that not one was left, there was certainly no omission.

Seeing this, the Demon Slayer Officer gritted his teeth, "That’s great."

That said, he turned and intended to leave, but was then softly called back by Shen Yi, "What exactly is the matter? Share with us."

Clutching his fist, the officer finally sighed, "Alas, some days ago, a Great Demon claiming to have broken free from the Demon Suppressing Tower to take revenge on humanity suddenly infiltrated Golden Light Prefecture."

"Has the demon calamity not retreated?" Ye Lan’s hand rested on the hilt of his sword.

"It’s even more serious than that." The Demon Slayer Officer waved his sleeve, conjuring a water screen in the air with immortal power, "You two have a look for yourselves."

The water screen rippled, reflecting a majestic city into everyone’s sight.

"All surrounding counties remain intact, these Demons suddenly appeared out of nowhere right outside Golden Light Prefecture City. I’ve never seen such bizarre occurrences in my life."

With the officer’s words, a vast Demon Group suddenly emerged in the water screen.

While the government office had yet to react and deploy soldiers, Demon Slayers rushed out, the towering city walls were forcibly trampled by the group of demons, and the civilians’ screams of terror were incessant.

"Even without General Wushan in the city, as long as the Magistrate mobilizes the Human Emperor Qi and arranges the soldiers, it wouldn’t be a problem to hold off until the General returns, if not completely subdue the group of Great Demons."

The Divine Dynasty wouldn’t rely solely on the Demon Slayer Bureau, perhaps there’s a lack in agility, but the strength to confront enemies head-on was not something ordinary Demons could match.

"But at that moment..."

Desperation flashed in the officer’s eyes.

In the water screen, a figure wielding a staff suddenly emerged, firstly sweeping the Demons outside the city in front of the people of Golden Light Prefecture, then swiftly being overwhelmed by the Demon Group.

Shortly after, an old Monk walked slowly to the collapsed city wall.

He sat cross-legged, pressed his palms together, and his body suddenly swelled, quickly becoming as large as a mountain. He calmly closed his eyes, using his own flesh and blood as the new city wall.

This was a technique of the Arhat Dharma Body.

However, the Dharma Body manifested by the old monk did not radiate brilliant golden light but retained his withered form, merely becoming more colossal.

The next moment, the Demon Group pounced forward, tearing the monk’s clothes, using sharp teeth to rip off his flesh.

Like wild dogs scrabbling for food, they reduced him to a skeleton in an instant, the ragged skin and flesh hung limply like banners on the bleached bones.

Only half of the old monk’s face remained, filled with indifference and a composed readiness to die.

"The old monk has no power to subdue demons, the only option is to use this useless body, to feed you on behalf of humanity, please retreat henceforth and stop troubling the Human World."

"Buddha, mercy..."

With a deep chant, his tightly closed palms finally slowly opened, revealing a delicately shining golden statue inside.

The statue, with a thousand arms stretched out, the Bodhisattva gazed down at the Human World in tranquility.

Beneath those eyes, a sudden fear surged in the Demon Group, retreating like a tide.

Leaving the empty skeleton, like an unyielding wall, continued to stand among the collapsed ruins.

"Suddenly, a large group from the Bodhi Sect appeared within Golden Light Prefecture, praying for them. If this continues, within three months’ time, driving out the members of the Bodhi Sect may cause the destruction of Golden Light Prefecture’s Human Emperor Qi!"

The Demon Slayer Officer ruffled his hair forcefully.

Any Cultivator with a bit of insight would realize that if it were truly a group of freed Demons, how could they dare to attack the Divine Dynasty being well-fed, and could they be frightened off by a mere small statue?

But now, in front of that bone city wall, the Imperial Court, no matter what it said, seemed so powerless.

Even the previous announcement regarding the Demon Suppressing Tower turned out to be a lie since all the Demons had been eradicated, from where did these Demons emerge?

"With his skills as a Great Arhat, concealing the Emperor’s Aura and bringing a group of Demons along would be no challenge."

"Going through all this trouble to stage such a drama, isn’t that disgusting!"

Ye Lan stared fixedly at the water screen, suddenly feeling powerless. With these tactics, let alone General Wushan, even if it were Elder Yan Lanting, how could he ignore public opinion and forcibly drive out this group of Monks, even to the extent of killing them all?

If General Wushan had been at Golden Light Prefecture at the time, he could have cut through the chaos and directly annihilate the Demon Group, destroying the Monk’s platform of deception.

But because of the two of them...

Ye Lan silently turned to the young man nearby, if following General Wushan’s previous division, matters concerning Golden Light Prefecture naturally had nothing to do with them.

But knowing Uncle Master Shen’s character, he was unlikely to do such a thing.

"..."

Shen Yi remained silent, his gaze fixed on Golden Light Prefecture.

After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and quietly said, "Keep an eye on this place for me, I’ll go have a look."
