Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1242 - 747: Farewell to Southern Continent, The Path of Escape_2

Chapter 1242: Chapter 747: Farewell to Southern Continent, The Path of Escape_2

Shen Yi stepped toward the hall; the matters of the Southern Continent had reached a conclusion, and there was no need to hide anything from the people, making them unnecessarily worried.

"..."

The smiles on the faces of the three Generals of Southern Defense instantly froze.

They stared at the back in front of them with complicated eyes, finding it hard to imagine the mental state needed to say such terrifying words so calmly.

One must understand that the other party, being a Bodhisattva, would definitely be accompanied by other Bodhisattvas on their mission.

Those Venerables from the great sects who were above the mortal world were included in just a single sentence, not even worthy of being mentioned by name.

"You’re leaving the Southern Continent?"

The first to come back to her senses was Ye Lan, whose cultivation was the lowest; after all, she had spent the most time with Shen Yi and had gotten used to his ways.

Despite expecting that, given the deeds of her Elder Shen, the Southern Continent could no longer accommodate him.

But at this moment, Ye Lan’s eyes involuntarily showed a trace of reluctance.

"First, we go to the Imperial Capital; you must come with me."

Shen Yi didn’t give her any choice.

Given the gravity of his actions, at least Southern Sumeru would surely deploy the Great Freedom Bodhisattva to investigate, and Ye Lan and Master Zhi Kong, who knew much about the whole process, were undoubtedly the primary targets for Southern Sumeru.

Since they didn’t possess the cultivation and the Demon Slaying Orders, nor could they mobilize the Emperor’s Aura like the Generals of Southern Defense.

If caught, they wouldn’t even have the ability to seek death.

Both for their sake and for his own, Shen Yi couldn’t let them stay in the Southern Continent.

"By the way, send a message to the mountain, tell them to migrate on their own and, ideally, go into hiding and not get involved in anything."

Ye Lan showed no displeasure at the somewhat domineering words of the youth; instead, she looked delighted and said, "I understand! I’ll handle it right away." free𝑤ebnovel.com

Watching Ye Lan turn and quickly leave.

Feng Xi finally stepped forward, pursing her lips, realizing that the situation might not be as optimistic as Shen Yi had made it out to be considering his efforts to erase all traces.

"The Southern Continent should be safe for now; you all don’t need to worry, just garrison it with peace of mind."

Shen Yi looked at the beautiful woman and offered a word of comfort.

Regardless of their strength, just the fact that these three Daluo Immortals first thought to support the Southern Emperor instead of fleeing earned his respect.

"What we’re worried about isn’t the Southern Continent..." Feng Xi sighed bitterly; the bodhisattvas who came down the mountains and the revealed Great Demons were almost entirely wiped out, and it had been a long time since the twenty-seven Prefectures had faced any demonic disaster.

Compared to the other Three Continents, today’s Great Nan Continent could be called an Immortal Realm among human worlds.

She shook her head in awe, "For the sake of once being brief colleagues, let me see you off. When you reach the Imperial City, it’ll save you a lot of trouble."

If she couldn’t see him safely away, she and those two old men would not be at ease.

"Then many thanks to the Venerable."

Shen Yi pondered a moment and nodded in agreement.

He would leave a batch of town stones in the twenty-seven Prefectures. These Generals of Southern Defense had just been heavily injured; there was no need to force them to stay in the Southern Continent.

"Wait! The old man has a question."

Yang Mingli finally found an opportunity to interject, licking his dry lips under the curious gazes of the others, "May I ask, what is your title in the Bodhi Sect?"

"..."

Shen Yi looked over, roughly understanding what the other was conflicted about, and smiled helplessly, "Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing."

"Hiss—"

Hearing these four words, Yang Mingli gritted his teeth, pulled out a scroll from his sleeve.

It matched! Everything matched!

He had always felt that recent events were full of oddities; his many years of experience had failed him in every major judgment, making him doubt whether he had lost his mind.

Yang Mingli flipped to the first page of the scroll, his trembling finger pointing at the top three names.

"Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Great Ming King is you, General Nanyang is you... if the old man guessed correctly, this Taixu Pill Emperor should also be you!"

Taixu Pill Emperor hailed from Shenxu Mountain, an unparalleled Heavenly Pride.

Everyone knew that Ye Lan and Shen Yi had long since joined Shenxu Mountain, and his demeanor just now when issuing orders clearly marked him as the leader of a sect.

This young genius couldn’t possibly be the Insect Demon, Shenxu Ancestor, making his identity all too apparent.

"So, the talented ones the Demon Slayer Bureau was investigating, the top three were all our own people..."

By this point, Yang Mingli was parched.

Seeing the old man’s excitement, Shen Yi cast a glance at the names listed later in the book, "Almost."

Honestly, he had some sympathy for Lord Yang.

After all, Yang Mingli was the first to uncover most of his identity. With his sudden inquiry about the Bodhisattva’s title, it was clear that even if Shen Yi didn’t admit, he had already guessed seventy to eighty percent.

A smart man like him, continuously failing in judgments because of Shen Yi’s actions, it certainly dealt a severe blow to his confidence.

"See that, it wasn’t my fault!"

Receiving the affirmative response, Yang Mingli glared, his beard bristling, at Yan Lanting beside him.

"..."

Yan Lanting had no interest in dealing with him; looking at Shen Yi again, he only felt more terrified.

That means, from start to finish, there weren’t two peerless prodigies each slaying four young experts from two sects.

At the North Flow River, Shen Yi alone beheaded sixteen people, including Tianwu Xuanwu, while also toying with the Third Grade Experts observing from the sidelines.

Of course, the three old men were also fooled along with everyone else.

Truly believed those two fighters were exhausted, and General Nanyang reaped the rewards.

"I don’t know what you’re excited about."

Feng Xi glared at Yang Mingli. Had it not been for Yan Lanting’s protection during the Jade Pond Ape Demon incident, and if things had gone as Yang had planned to punish Nanyang... the twenty-seven Prefectures would have long been a wasteland.

"..."

Shen Yi quietly watched them quarrel, suddenly feeling a nostalgic sense of deja vu.

Back when Old Man Chen Qiankun turned into this kind of elder once the Qingzhou demon disaster was resolved.

He quite liked this feeling, something that made one inexplicably relaxed.

Unfortunately, now was not the time to relax. Only when he secured his life could he afford the leisure to visit Qingzhou again.

"Everyone, farewell." Shen Yi slowly cupped his hands.

Those who had been noisy just now suddenly fell silent.

The two old men said nothing, finally letting out a long sigh and returned the salute, "Thank you for everything... farewell."

The trouble in the Southern Continent had not been eradicated; it had merely shifted from the common folk to Shen Yi alone.

They could not offer much help, the only thing they could do was to maintain the peace that Nanyang risked his life to achieve.

...

A few days later.

A Fire Dragon Treasure Carriage took off from Glazed Prefecture, heading straight north, the burning Dragon Soul emitting a high-pitched roar, covering thousands of miles in an instant, leaving the Southern Continent behind.

Inside, only a few people sat.

Feng Xi had prepared a memorial, detailing all the events in the Southern Continent, stamped with the seals of the three Generals of Southern Defense.

This was the only thing the Southern Continent could prepare for Shen Yi.

With this memorial, he could ask the Human Emperor for any reward.

Ye Lan and Monk Zhi Kong were brought on board, sitting on either side of Shen Yi; Shenxu Mountain’s arrangements were nearly complete. Qian Feng Taoist would lead the main and outer peaks to evacuate the Southern Continent before Southern Sumeru could react.

Apart from the name Nanyang, Shen Yi left no trace in the Great Nan Continent.

He closed his eyes, meditating, feeling the Dragon Carriage beneath him.

The magic artifact was excellent, but it couldn’t be used freely outside the Divine Dynasty.

No idea how much time had passed.

As the carriage suddenly halted, Shen Yi opened his eyes to see the faint outline of the Imperial City ahead.
