Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 967: Chapter 635: The Offbeat Demon Slayer Bureau

"Immortal Fellow Shen, this humble monk still needs to retrieve those Golden Scrolls, so I won’t linger any longer."

Outside, Master Zhi Kong came to say farewell.

The people of Shen Dynasty were worldly-wise. Without any real benefits, why would they trust a being of evil?

Other than emanating warmth and comfort which could heal hidden ailments through its Spiritual Light, the Rat Demon also distributed many Golden Scrolls.

Gold was precious, but even more valuable was the scripture engraved on them.

Though it captured only a small portion, it was indeed the very Three Tribulations Lotus Platform Skill Shen Yi used to protect his Divine Soul through tribulations, facilitating the comprehension of the heaven and earth.

Now, retrieving all of it wasn’t an act of pettiness from Master Zhi Kong.

Such Cultivation Techniques, even experienced cultivators could fall into delusion if not careful, let alone ordinary people holding onto fragments. If during reciting, they couldn’t suppress their greed and looked one more time than necessary, the consequences were unimaginable.

Aside from that...

Monk Zhi Kong slightly looked up, his gaze piercing the rooftop, fixing upon the vast imperial aura in the sky.

A sense of unease subtly struck his heart.

Lately, the thefts of such Cultivation Techniques had increased within the sect, the prestigious Bodhi Sect being one of the great three, now seemed as if the guarding monks had all simultaneously fallen asleep.

He was merely a common practitioner, clueless about the frequent mishaps but hoped that it wouldn’t disturb this wonderful human world.

"Master Zhi Kong bids farewell."

Shen Yi nodded in return, indeed without needing Earth Spirit’s reminder, he wouldn’t get too close to Master Zhi Kong at this moment.

After all, having just slain a practitioner of the Bodhi Sect, whether he desired to join the sect or gain something else from them, he should at least wait some time until the matter had thoroughly calmed down.

This was also one of the reasons why Shen Yi joined the Demon Slayer Bureau without asking about the benefits.

Should these monks seek him out, aside from the Demon Slayer Bureau specifically established with an anti-three-sect motive, most other powers would likely rush to hand him over.

"Sigh."

After seeing Master Zhi Kong off the inn, Shen Yi turned and re-entered his room.

As he reached to close the door, his figure suddenly tensed, alerted by the sharp reminder from the Spirit Light Rat.

"Be careful, my master!"

Shen Yi’s gaze darkened, looking back.

On his bed, a tall figure had appeared at some point, clad in a dark green long dress with casually overlapping fair legs.

The woman’s features were refined and beautiful, looking at Shen Yi with interest. Beneath her, a man in white robes was bound tightly by the Immortal Rope and silenced with Talismans, trembling all over, drenched in sweat, his continuous moans sounding like pleas.

"Are you the Demon Slayer recommended by Earth Spirit?"

Without waiting for Shen Yi’s response, the woman tossed him a long sword with extraordinary aura, introducing herself, "Ye Jing, Demon Slayer Officer of Jianyang Prefecture. Behead him, and I’ll accept you."

Hearing this, the white-robed man desperately struggled on the floor, thumping sounds reverberating, his moaning growing louder.

Three days of waiting, and finally the so-called Demon Slayer Bureau had arrived.

Yet Shen Yi merely glanced at the sword in his hand, "Who is he?"

"Does it matter to you?"

Ye Jing propped her palms against the edge of the bed, sitting up slightly straighter, her tone colder than before, "Earth Spirit said you have an innate killing destiny; slaughtering a cultivator shouldn’t be difficult for you."

"Who is he?"

Shen Yi repeated his earlier question, feigning ignorance.

Ye Jing paused, finally standing up and circling around the young man, "He’s a disciple of the Three Immortals Sect, seeking to join our Demon Slayer Bureau. This is his declaration of intent."

Regardless, this man was merely a Dao Realm cultivator.

In other places he would be considered an accomplished daoist, but to become a Demon Slayer in the Shen Dynasty, he was lacking somewhat.

However, since he had received Earth Spirit of Jianyang Prefecture’s recommendation, he must have had some extraordinary qualities. If not strong, at least audaciously bold.

"..."

Shen Yi casually held the sword, walking to the side of the man.

As the chilling glint of the sword loomed, the man looked up in panic, his pupils trembling, fixating on that fair and handsome face. He could not perceive any emotion related to mercy; instead, the indifference towards killing was unmistakable.

However, he didn’t feel the severe pain of a blade cutting through his neck, but rather a clear voice by his ear.

"What crime has he committed?" Shen Yi slightly lifted the sword tip, aiming at the man’s forehead.

"Why all the questions?" Ye Jing raised an eyebrow impatiently, her attractive features growing colder, "As a Demon Slayer, follow the orders of your superiors. We tell you to kill someone, you kill them; he has been stripped of his cultivation, this is easy, why all the noise?"

"Or perhaps you simply dare not offend the sects?"

She lowered her voice, a trace of contempt in her tone, then waited for his explanation.

In the next moment, Ye Jing’s expression subtly changed.

Seeing the young man casually wave his hand, the sword turned into a stream of light and slid back into her sheath.

"What do you mean?" Ye Jing gripped the hilt tightly.

Shen Yi remained silent, dusted his sleeves, then raised a hand in the gesture of seeing off a guest.

"Think carefully, you only have one chance..." Ye Jing tried to say something else, but heard the young man sigh lightly, grabbing the man on the floor and tossing him out the door.

"No farewell."

Shen Yi indeed needed a job, and didn’t mind doing dirty work.

But the prerequisite was, his impression of the Shen Dynasty was still positive, and the so-called dirty work were those deeds not to be discovered by the Immortal Court but aimed at eradicating cultivator groups causing harm.
