Chapter 1126: Chapter 699: Titled General? Try 20 First to Test the Waters_2

However, what he saw next was the other party gently shaking their head as they continued, "But not much."

Yan Lanting suddenly opened his eyes and turned around, staring intently at Shen Yi. Wushan gaped in astonishment from his bed. Under the current circumstances, was there still someone actively choosing to stay in the Divine Dynasty?

This time, the Bodhi Sect dared to ambush a Titled General, next time they might dare to assassinate the General of Southern Defense.

Although Nanyang was strong, it was only within the Fourth Grade. In front of those Bodhisattva Buddha Ancestors in the Bodhi Sect, what significance did it hold?

Even though Shen Yi was his savior, under such an abnormal choice, Wushan couldn’t help but suspect that the other had returned bearing a divine mandate.

"..."

Facing the eyes of the two, Shen Yi’s expression remained unchanged, and he chose not to explain anything.

Regret, it’s because this identity has indeed become a restriction of his own.

As people move further and further, they usually have more choices and a broader world. The troubles and grudges of the past no longer enter their eyes, and they will be annoyed by some decision they made back then, affecting their present selves.

Shen Yi was no exception.

But he has not forgotten, that regrettable decision, was the only path he could choose at that time.

To eat one’s fill and then find fault with the pot, that’s not how things are done.

"You—"

Yan Lanting stared directly into the young man’s clear dark pupils. Obviously, even a high-ranking General of Southern Defense, at this moment, was entangled with the same dilemma as Wushan.

Initially, through the matter of the Ape Demon, he connected with this youngster, feeling that Shen Yi suited his taste.

Afterwards, not only had Shen Yi never let him down, but he also brought a lot of glory to Old Man Yan in the matter of the Demon Suppressing Tower.

But, when facing the tactics of gods and Immortal Venerables, many things can’t simply be resisted by one’s original intention.

"You all do your best."

Yan Lanting changed his words, stood up again and turned his back, hands behind him: "Don’t feel like you owe anything, as long as you are worthy of the salary from the Imperial Court, true to your original intention... When it really comes time to leave, remember to send a message to Old Man Yan, explaining the situation."

After saying that, the old man left the room directly, but his body, which had been enduring severe injuries, now strangely stooped again.

The salary from the Imperial Court is substantial, but it definitely cannot buy the life of a Taiyin True Immortal.

If according to this line of thinking, Wushan could just walk away if he encountered another situation like that in Golden Light Prefecture.

It only shows that this most powerful General of Southern Defense, when faced with his most promising subordinate, with just a slight effort from the Three Religions, they could destroy him and thereby, he has no expectations left for the future of the Divine Dynasty.

His choice and that of Yang Mingli, what right or wrong could there be, were just dead ends.

Besides, this also counts as leaving Shen Yi a way out, if the Bodhi Sect really issued some command, he could choose to leave.

If he does not leave, but continues to bring disaster to the Divine Dynasty, then, he can’t blame Yan Lanting for being unsympathetic.

"Ah!"

Wushan heavily slammed his hand: "I’ve caused you both so much trouble!"

Never mind Shen Yi, no matter what Old Master Yan said, in the end, he still left Shen Yi behind. If something big happens later due to this, knowing but not reporting, once it reaches the Imperial Capital, that old life of his would be truly gone!

"Let’s go back to my place to heal first."

Shen Yi did not engage in that conversation, just arbitrarily taking Wushan and stepped into the Taixu.

His biggest taboo is having his life controlled by others.

Yet the Three Immortals Sect and Bodhi Sect made the exact same choice.

Starting from here, Shen Yi could no longer sincerely invest in the Three Religions, not only that, he still wanted to win.

At least, break the two chains binding him first, and wrap them around the necks of those high and mighty gods and Immortal Venerables!

...

Jianyang Prefecture, Shen Mansion.

Ye Lan finally welcomed back the figure she longed for, but as her gaze shifted from Shen Yi to Wushan beside him, compared to the injuries on the latter’s body, what surprised her more was his attitude.

"Isn’t it... Lord Nanyang... can you be reasonable."

"Directly bringing me to Jianyang, what about my Three Prefectures?"

Clearly accusatory words, yet Wushan had a sorrowful expression and didn’t dare to raise his voice.

Ye Lan was startled for a moment, then quickly regained her senses and gradually came to understand.

Indeed, had she not also followed Shen Yi on a few trips at the beginning, only to become a little follower from a superior.

"Heal your injuries quickly in preparation for future troubles, leave the rest to me."

Shen Yi walked into the yard, sat Wushan on a stone bench, and pointed to the room next to it, signaling him to move in first.

"What future troubles?"

Wushan suddenly stood up, "Those monks still have some tricks up their sleeves?"

Shen Yi ignored him and looked at Ye Lan, "What’s the recent situation?"

Ye Lan frowned and thought for a moment, then looked up and said, "Now that you mentioned it, something does seem off. Although none are big issues, there have been frequent demon disturbances nearby, and they all are new faces."

"I see."

Shen Yi nodded, he had received similar news when he was making elixirs for Wushan in Golden Light Prefecture.

Thinking about it, it was normal, to create chaos under heaven, apart from disintegrating it from within the Divine Dynasty, how could it not involve those most useful demons.

In the past, the Immortal Court and the Divine Dynasty co-governed with the assistance of the Three Religions, making the Divine Land a solid block.

Among them, the True Gods handled only those transgressors of the Heavenly Law.

The scarcity of True Gods was one reason, otherwise, there wouldn’t be an opportunity for the other two religions to ascend.

But beyond this, these incarnations of the great dao were not necessarily on the side of the Human Race, they were just responsible for maintaining the order of the cosmos, the "evil" in demons refers to those cultivators who had violated the Heavenly Law.
