Chapter 1131: Chapter 701: Heaven and Earth Conspire, Setting the Stage for Me, Shen!

"Lord Feng Xi has sent a message."

"She left the Divine Dynasty, captured a Fourth Grade Demon Immortal, and a Bodhi Sect Arhat!"

The two hurried into the attic, bowing towards the shadowy corner: "Your guess was correct. The Demon Group came from outside and indeed has connections with the Bodhi Sect."

In the shadows, Lord Yang slowly turned around, accepting the documents handed to him.

After carefully reading the contents, he gently placed the documents back on the table.

For the Great Nan Continent, the three Southern Defense Generals of the Demon Slayer Bureau, stationed within the borders of the Divine Dynasty, make the best use of the pervasive Emperor’s Aura to fend off enemies.

Yet, the recent frequent demon calamities forced Feng Xi to investigate externally, sufficiently showing the gravity of the situation.

"These thieving Monks!"

The two Titled Generals couldn’t help but curse: "How dare they invite these old demons back, aren’t they afraid of playing with fire and burning themselves? Don’t forget, their reputation of Meat Body Demon Suppression was built on the bones of these old demons."

"Ha."

Lord Yang scoffed coldly.

For a powerhouse who has reached Third Grade, what grievances could be more important than furthering one’s prospects? Even the death of parents can be temporarily converted into cordial relations in the presence of an opportunity for advancement.

He slightly lowered his gaze, looking at the torn map on the table, his fingertips slowly gliding over the paper.

Recently, every location that had experienced demon calamities had been marked with tiny red crosses; now, those crosses covered the entire map.

The returning old demons had probably gathered all the information they needed.

The whole Great Nan Continent, where defenses are weak and where they are strong, was now mostly understood.

The Titled Generals also stared at the map, their expressions suddenly turning solemn as they saw where Lord Yang’s fingertips paused, almost overwhelmed by red crosses: "Lord Yang, will they break through from Songfeng Prefecture?"

"..."

Lord Yang glanced at the document, moving his fingertip to a blank spot on the torn map.

That represented the western nine prefectures given away.

His voice was cold: "Since they’re conspiring with the Bodhi Sect, they naturally know about the matters involving Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva and Old Man Yan, as well as Wushan also being seriously injured. These nine prefectures, now only guarded by two Titled Generals, are full of holes. If you were them, from where would you attack?"

"This—"

The two looked up, hesitating for a moment.

Lord Yang, meticulous in thought, had roughly guessed the whole situation even before Lord Feng Xi sent back her message, and had prepared in advance.

One could say that aside from those nine prefectures, the defense arrangements of the remaining territories of the Great Nan Continent were all masterminded by him, and so far, no problems had arisen.

Including the current conjecture, which was also reasoned and well-grounded.

"But we haven’t received any distress messages from those nine prefectures."

If Lord Yang’s guess was true, and the nine prefectures were indeed full of holes, they should have asked for reinforcements long ago; why is it still so quiet now?

"..."

Lord Yang stepped away from the table: "The fire hasn’t reached the tipping point yet, they always think there’s a chance to salvage it. Mr. Yan is quite proud, and his subordinates naturally can’t tarnish his reputation, even if they have their teeth knocked out, they have to swallow them."

"It’s just, they never thought that this illusory reputation, once a major disaster actually brews, will have to be exchanged for the lives of countless civilians."

While he spoke, Lord Yang was already at the door.

The two Titled Generals stood aghast behind him, the Lord implying that significant incidents had occurred in those nine prefectures but were unreported due to the concealment of the demon calamity?

They also sensed an anomaly.

The term "young fellows" in the earlier statement, clearly unsuitable for Wushan, likely referred to Nanyang and Yan Lan.

No matter how harsh the disputes had been in the past, Lord Yang’s criticism was always directed at Lord Yan, yet privately, he greatly appreciated and had a favorable view of the General of Nanyang.

Now, however, his disappointment was evidently showing.

Evidently, after the last incident in Wushan, General Nanyang’s acts of concealment during his report completely disappointed Lord Yang.

Indeed, even with two generals of Southern Defense stationed, and everyone else busy like this, with Mr. Yan seriously injured and secluded for healing, and the western nine prefectures presenting such an eerily quiet state,

it was indefensible.

General Nanyang is an excellent Cultivator and a good subordinate of Mr. Yan, and even a partner who took great risks alone to rescue Wushan, but not a suitable officer for the Demon Slayer Bureau.

Such a person could really do something like concealing a demon calamity just to maintain Mr. Yan’s dignity.

"Where are you going?"

The two suddenly noticed Lord Yang heading outside the attic.

"To the west."

Lord Yang’s expression was stern, holding a grudge but not really neglecting the nine major prefectures.

Unaware of the situation in the whole Divine Dynasty, the Great Nan Continent was on the brink of a storm, and they were the last posts supporting this collapsing building.

Even if he disapproved of Mr. Yan, the three of them being colleagues for many years, he understood Old Man Yan’s character; even though the other party was obstinate, by now, he should have come to his senses.

Especially after realizing his subordinate took his dignity, Yan Lanting’s, more seriously than the lives of the Divine Dynasty’s citizens, if he continued to be stubborn, he wouldn’t deserve to be the General of Southern Defense.

Lord Yang didn’t mind stepping forward but from now on, Yan Lanting and his subordinate, that Nanyang, must listen wholeheartedly to his orders, with no further reckless acts!

As his words faded, he summoned a vast cloud and headed towards Jianyang Prefecture.
