Chapter 708: Enemies on All Sides
"This thing..."
Yang Mingli broke free from the support of the man next to him, pointed his trembling fingertips at the ancient book on the table, and said in disbelief: "Is it the great sutra that Bodhi taught on this trip?"
The name of the Lingwei Hudao Sutra was well known even in the imperial court. As for such a great sutra concerning the Bodhisattva's fruition, even disciples of the religion had to obtain permission from the Buddha before being qualified to read it.
Such a precious treasure cannot be taken away easily.
It inevitably makes people think of the sensational Dharma transmission event.
After seeing Shen Yi nod slightly, Yang Mingli froze in place and his breathing became heavier.
He thought of many possibilities, but he never imagined that General Nanyang's quiet departure was to recapture this great sutra for the court.
There was no need for orders from above, let alone any cowardly resistance. The other party's actions were simply embarrassing for the demon-slaying officers in this hall.
The fleeting malicious speculation made Yang Mingli's face flush dark red, but he still couldn't understand: "I heard that this scripture is still in the hands of the Great Ming King who subdues dragons and tigers, and finally got entangled with the Taixu Dan Emperor and escaped into the Taixu realm. How did you get it?"
When these words were spoken, the rest of the Demon Slayers, including Feng Xi, all concentrated and stared at that young and handsome face.

"I found a loophole."
Shen Yi responded casually, without showing any strange expression on his face.
He had thought about it in advance as early as when he came back.
Although due to his status, many things cannot be said openly, but since he has done things for the court, the merits he deserves should not be wasted.
The last incident at Songfeng Mansion was worth twelve thousand Tribulation Emperor Energy Golden Pills, but this involves the entire Great South Continent, and even the stability of the Divine Dynasty, and requires fighting with many geniuses and great arhats to spread the Dharma, so it should be worth more golden pills.
Shen Yi is in urgent need of cultivation now, so even at the risk of being exposed, he is determined to exchange this scripture for tangible benefits.
"I found a loophole..."
Wushan nodded subconsciously, then suddenly reacted and shook his head violently.
Are you kidding me?!
Taixu Danhuang was able to kill eight top-level Arhats by himself, and the Great Ming King who subdued dragons and tigers even killed all the geniuses including Tianwu and Xuanwu.
It can be said that although these two people have not reached the third rank, their deterrent power in front of ordinary cultivators is actually no different from that of the third rank.
When these two peerless geniuses fight each other, others would feel suffocated if they get close to them, let alone try to profit from it.
Is this called picking up a bargain? It's clearly snatching food from a tiger's mouth!
The rest of the titled generals looked similar, looking at Shen Yi with strange expressions, unable to speak for a long time.
"How are the Great Ming King of the Bodhi Sect and the Taixu Dan Emperor of the Three Immortals Sect doing now?" Feng Xi grasped the key point.
Hearing this, Shen Yi had already thought of a response: "He escaped with serious injuries and his whereabouts are unknown."
Logically speaking, he must have offended the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva this time, and the old guy in Shenxu Mountain was thinking about eating him all the time. Taking this opportunity to directly get rid of these two identities might be a good choice.
But through this Dharma transmission, Shen Yi tasted the sweetness.
Not only can he get information from all parties in advance, but it will also be very convenient when taking action. Unless it is necessary, he does not want to completely cut off these two paths for the time being.
As for what to do next, it depends on how generous the court is.
Shen Yi knew that the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva must be looking for him, but since he successfully entered the third rank, he was no longer the little chicken who allowed himself to be manipulated by the other party.

Even if he could not defeat the other party, as long as he was within the sphere of the imperial court, with the help of the power of the imperial aura, he would not be without a chance to escape.
Once they were in a stalemate, he would let the Bodhisattva understand that two fists are no match for four hands.
The three Zhennan generals are not here to eat for free.
As he got deeper into the game, Shen Yi understood more and more about the rules of this catastrophe. If he didn't want to be a pawn, he had to understand the true meaning of this drama.
The common people are not only a constraint on the imperial court, but also a constraint on the three religions.
That group of gods, Buddhas, and immortals, who wanted to gain imperial power in the human world, needed to forcibly create an Immortal Emperor who could save the world. This meant that the background of this Immortal Emperor had to be clean and innocent.
If the Three Immortals Sect and the Bodhi Sect were the scourge of the troubled times, it would be extremely difficult for those who came from them to gain the faith of the people.
Therefore, even if there are more Bodhisattvas in the religion, it is impossible for them to kill people openly in the land of China. At most, they can do things quietly. Otherwise, there is no need for the court to take action, and those giants in the religion will take action to deal with them first.
"..."
While Shen Yi was pondering, so many people in the hall also lowered their eyes in silence, repeatedly chewing on the meaning of the four words "seriously injured and escaped".
After a long time, Yang Mingli raised his head with a complicated expression and looked carefully at the young man in front of him.
No matter whether it is the Great Ming King who subdues dragons and tigers, or the Taixu Dan Emperor, they are all world-class talents cultivated with the full strength of the three religions. With just a little move, they can astonish the world.
Even the two Generals Zhennan, who were at a higher level, felt fear.
And these two terrifying beings were actually defeated by the Demon Slaying Bureau's free-range breeding... No, it can't even be considered free-range breeding, because this young man has joined the team for too short a time, and the court has never properly trained him except for distributing some Royal Energy Golden Pills to Nanyang.
"Join the court."
Yang Mingli walked slowly to Shen Yi's side and patted his shoulder gently: "I'm sorry for wronging you."
If this young man joins the Three Immortals Sect, he will be a great emperor in the future; if he joins the Bodhi Sect, he will be a disciple of Buddha. Only if he joins the Demon-Slaying Bureau of the imperial court will he become such an unknown existence now.
How could the Divine Dynasty be so virtuous and capable as to make Nanyang come to surrender on its own initiative?
After saying this, Yang Mingli suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, walked straight past the crowd and left the hall, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden.
"..."
Shen Yi glanced at his shoulder and could roughly guess what Mr. Yang was thinking.
To be honest, the old man's words were a bit annoying, but his rich experience made him fully qualified for the position of General Zhennan.
The other party's continuous misjudgment...almost all came from his own secrets that could not be revealed.
For example, regarding the matter of Songfeng Prefecture, according to normal people's thinking, the Nine Prefectures in the west are indeed the best points for breakthrough. Who would have thought that there are a bunch of stone guarding this place.
The same applies to the matter of protecting the scriptures. Without knowing the existence of the Zhenshi, allowing the Three Immortal Sects and the Bodhi Sect to fight each other, giving priority to taking care of the Twenty-Seven Prefectures, and not letting the demons take advantage of the situation is the safest choice.
But in the eyes of this Lord Sheep.
His lifelong experience of being flawless suddenly failed. This was an indescribable blow to a person in a high position.
The other party’s choice was to never make choices for Great Nanzhou again.

The gesture of patting his shoulder just now already had the implication of entrusting him with a great responsibility.
"He's not in a good mood, don't take it personally."
Feng Xi also came to Shen Yi's side, and it was obvious from his attitude that he was treating him as a peer.
Not to mention others, her own mood was also somewhat complicated.
Yan Lanting had never been able to persuade Yang Mingli for all these years, but he managed to do it in this young man in a short time.
General Nanyang didn't even say a word himself, but Yang Mingli felt inferior and was about to give up his position.
"call."
Until this moment, one by one, the titled generals raised their heads and looked at Shen Yi's back, their eyes were completely different from before.
Rather than looking at a powerful colleague, everyone's expressions seemed as if they were looking at a future superior.
If we ignore the strength, the mere fact of intercepting the transmission of the law is enough for him to secure his position as General Zhennan.
"I will send that scripture to the imperial court."
"You probably have to go with me. Nanzhou is in a hurry. Let's go and come back quickly."
Feng Xi's words were almost a clear statement.
Even if the Great South Continent lacked the imperial energy and did not have enough golden pills to distribute, at most they would send them over. Only when a great general was appointed to guard the South would it be necessary to meet the emperor in person.
"I can leave any time."
Shen Yi nodded his chin slightly. He was also somewhat curious about the Human Emperor whom he had never met before.
What on earth did the Lord of the Divine Land do to arouse the hostility of the three religions and even the Immortal Court?
……
Shenxu Mountain, Danfeng.
These monks of the older generation, all of whom are known as ancestors, have not been as lively as they are now for many years. Their chattering is no different from that of the children.
When he was excited, Taoist Qianfeng even spat out saliva: "I said that we have taken the wrong path. The Taixu Dao Fruit is definitely not just in the top ten."
"Underestimated! Totally underestimated!"
"It is us who brought shame to this Dao Fruit!"
If you take the right path, you should be able to be like when you preach the scriptures, overwhelming your peers and killing a great arhat with a snap of your fingers.
Ye Lan sat quietly at the last seat.
To be honest, with her current status, she was not qualified to participate in the conversation with the peak master.
It was only after these peak masters specially selected Danfeng to discuss the matter and Grand Master personally summoned him that he heard about such a violent turmoil in the outside world.
However, the more Ye Lan listened, the more she felt something was wrong.

What about two geniuses defeating all the heroes?
The Arhat golden body that can resist dragons and tigers? Taixu Danhuang?
Needless to say about the latter, Ye Lan had seen with her own eyes how Shen Yi had earned such a terrible reputation in Hongze by relying on his powerful cultivation.
Let's talk about the former. Although the appearance described by the master's uncle was different from the golden body in his memory, Ye Lan had only seen Shen Yi, the real Dragon-Tiger Arhat who carried the "dragon and tiger".
"hiss!"
She sat quietly in the chair, looking even more reserved than before.
But a huge wave was rising in my heart.
Could it be that the uncle-master acted alone, killed sixteen peerless geniuses, and then directed and acted in this drama himself?
The moment this thought arose in Ye Lan's mind, he froze in his position.
She probably knew why the master summoned her.
After thinking about it, Ye Lan adjusted his facial expression instantly.
"..."
Taoist Jin Lei seemed to have droopy eyelids, but his eyes never left Ye Lan's face.
Taiyi Zhenxian's eyesight is so terrifying.
Even the slightest change could not escape his eyes.
At the moment when his whole body trembled slightly, Taoist Jin Lei slowly exhaled, finally confirming that the Tiandan was Taixu Danhuang.
Such a peerless and ferocious creature actually appeared right under his nose.
In this case, Junior Brother Mu Yang and his son will probably never return to Shenxu Mountain.
"Lan'er, come with me."
Thinking of this, Taoist Jin Lei stood up quietly.
His rare gentle address made the other peak masters look up in surprise, and the noisy discussions stopped abruptly.
"call."
Ye Lan took a deep breath, knowing that he couldn't hide it from the old man, so he had no choice but to stand up.
After all, whether in terms of cultivation or experience, she was far behind the other party.
"Just chatting, no need to be formal."
Taoist Jin Lei's withered face twitched slightly, and he actually forced out a smile.
Tiandan... Oh no, Taixu Danhuang joined the sect halfway through, and stayed in Shenxu Mountain for too short a time, so there was no sense of belonging to him. For example, this time, he didn't even notify the mountain masters in advance about things like robbing the scriptures.
Moreover, to this day, if someone were to be serious, they would not even be able to prove in front of outsiders that Taixu Danhuang was a disciple of Shenxu Mountain.

After all, the only person who could make the Dan Emperor concerned was the little girl in front of him.
Under the puzzled gaze of the crowd.
Taoist Jin Lei brought Ye Lan with him and flew lightly towards the main mountain that towered into the clouds and surrounded by eight peaks.
After passing through the long corridor and entering the alchemy cave, the two slowly stood in front of the vermilion gate.
“Although I don’t know what the Dan Emperor is afraid of, maybe he is still on guard against my Shenxu Mountain, but this matter involves too much, I still have to report it to Master, so that Master can think about it and not let others have bad intentions, which will be detrimental to the Dan Emperor.”
Taoist Jin Lei turned around and explained softly.
He even omitted the title of junior brother.
Since he wanted to promote Tiandan, he could give up his position as the eldest senior brother if necessary.
Last time, the master instructed me and others to take care of Tiandan's life, but after this incident, I realized how insignificant I am.
Apart from anything else, how could the Bodhi Sect not be angry when it lost so many top-level Arhats?
If any Bodhisattva has evil intentions, how can they be deterred without the intervention of Master?
"..."
Ye Lan responded with silence.
After learning the news, she actually felt a glimmer of hope in her heart.
Even if Patriarch Shenxu was not sincere towards Shen Yi before, he would probably change his mind after knowing such an amazing record, and really put all his strength together from now on... or even contact the other three immortal sects' Daluo Immortals to protect Shen Yi together?
"It's not that I am being nosy, you still need to explain to the Dan Emperor."
Taoist Jin Lei finished speaking softly, then turned around and slowly placed his palm on the vermilion door.
As the eldest senior brother of Shenxu Mountain, he is the only one who knows how to awaken his master.
As time passed, the breath he inhaled became more powerful.
Finally, wisps of gray mist began to emerge above the vermilion gate.
I do not know how long it has been.
A pair of turbid eyes with a hint of dryness slowly opened in the gray fog.
The moment he saw those eyes, Ye Lan's whole body tensed up, and his hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched tightly.
To her, this was not a master, but an enemy who killed her master and destroyed her family.
But when I think of Shen Yi's dangerous situation surrounded by enemies on all sides.
She bit her lips hard, closed her red eyes, and forced down the surging murderous intent in her heart.
