Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1351 - 795: Even a Fading Tiger Can Grow Softhearted

Chapter 1351: Chapter 795: Even a Fading Tiger Can Grow Softhearted

Imperial City, outside the serene courtyard.

Ye Lan hugged her sword, quietly leaning against the cold wall.

Since noticing something off with the maid last time, she decided to stay here. Although her own cultivation was insufficient to achieve much in the Imperial City, at least the Human Emperor, apart from the Immortal Department, had a channel to send out strategic news.

She raised her gaze towards the dark sky curtain, her thoughts drifting to those continents she had never set foot on.

Just then, hurried footsteps rapidly approached.

Ye Lan turned her head and saw the woman in armor—it was General Gu Li, who had brought back news last time.

She couldn’t help but stand up straight, staring blankly at the other party.

"..."

Gu Li also scrutinized this close minister beside the Human Emperor, this Sword Cultivator with only Fourth Grade Realm, who was the only one besides Lin Shuya who could freely enter and exit this courtyard.

Although she didn’t know what this person was responsible for, she could see the trace of irrepressible tension in Ye Lan’s eyes.

After a moment of contemplation, Gu Li smiled, "Come along, it’s good news."

The two women quickly stepped into the courtyard, and after waiting for the maid to report, they rushed straight to the wine pool.

"Heh!"

In the wine pool, the old man stretched lazily. Now, besides the boy’s letter, there was very little that could pique his interest.

Of course, the Human Emperor’s declining energy was no longer enough to support him in thinking about many things, and he even began to forget past experiences, a sign of being deeply corroded by the Emperor’s Aura. ƒгeewebnovёl_com

Gu Li was about to speak when she heard labored breathing from outside. Immediately, a panting, thin middle-aged man hurried over and respectfully saluted the wine pool.

"Shuya pays respects to Your Majesty."

"..."

Ye Lan’s expression remained unchanged, only a few hints of vigilance flickering in her eyes.

From the moment General Gu Li appeared until now, it had only been a quarter of an hour, and Lord Lin had already received the news and followed quickly.

She had guessed correctly.

This Imperial City had likely been thoroughly infiltrated by the Immortal Department.

However, Gu Li wasn’t surprised. After all, before Ye Lan, Lin Shuya had always been the one constantly by His Majesty’s side, never far away.

"Report to His Majesty, it’s a celebratory message!"

Gu Li knelt on one knee, excitedly reporting the sights along her journey, "Disputes have reignited between the two great sects. The chief disciple of Chi Yun Cave perished in Nanping, killed by the Great Freedom Lotus Pearl Bodhisattva. The immortals of the North Continent emerged in force, led by the first disciple, Tai Xu True Monarch, using overwhelming power to sweep through the East Continent. The monks were defeated at every turn."

"To fight for incense offerings, a group of cultivators imitated Tai Xu True Monarch, employing the same tactics in the East Continent, finally giving the common people a chance to recuperate."

"Now, apart from the West Continent, the other three continents are all at peace. The two sects suffered heavy casualties, a significant fortune for our Divine Dynasty!"

"..."

Before she finished speaking, Lin Shuya, who had hurried over, had already looked on in a daze, then his face lit up with joy.

Every day he immersed himself in the reports of various continents, exhausted, yet unable to improve the situation. Unexpectedly, those two sects had started fighting each other.

This heaven-sent opportunity miraculously gave the nearly dying Divine Dynasty a chance to catch its breath.

Lin Shuya didn’t care how many Immortal Gods and Buddhas had perished; he only hoped that more mortals in the world could survive.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at the Human Emperor, but found that neither the Emperor nor the sword-wielding woman beside him shared the same elation as him and Gu Li; instead, they seemed disturbingly calm.

In an instant, Lin Shuya suddenly felt a bit disappointed.

Indeed, these people didn’t value the things he cared about.

"Your Majesty?"

Gu Li gently called out, considering the situation, although recapturing the Four Continents was still hopeless, things were much better than before, and they should be happy.

"Have you met him?" The man slowly turned his head.

"I..." Gu Li hesitated for a moment, then lowered her eyes in helplessness. Indeed, nothing could be hidden from His Majesty’s mind. She felt a bit ashamed and said, "I did not conspire with the Great Sect, but I was truly curious about this person, and I did want to thank him on behalf of the people of the world, even if it was just his unintended act."

"How do you feel about him?" The man seemed not to be angry.

"He’s quite good, without the arrogance of those Heavenly Prides, and dares to stand up for his fellow disciples, even if it means sacrificing his future. There’s a kind of..."

Gu Li was speaking when she suddenly realized something was wrong and hastily corrected herself, "What I mean is, for the Three Immortals Sect, he is an exceptionally talented individual, yet he poses a great threat to our Divine Dynasty; we should be vigilant in advance!"

The man looked at her demeanor and suddenly smiled meaningfully at Ye Lan.

His own General of Southern Defense was indeed no ordinary person. Even in different positions, she could earn such high praise from A Li, not to mention how many admirers she might have attracted in that Great Sect.

"..."

Ye Lan kept her gaze straight ahead, finding nothing strange about it.

Anyone who had interacted with Shen Yi and felt this way was normal; those who didn’t were blind.

"Is there anything you wish to report?"

The man shifted his gaze to Lin Shuya beside him.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I received news that a great sun from the Southern State traversed the sky with overwhelming flames towards Sumeru Mountain. Judging by its appearance, it seems faintly reminiscent of the Ancestor God recorded in ancient texts."

"Understood, you may withdraw."

The Human Emperor lightly nodded and then gestured with his hand.

Those incarnations of the Heavenly Dao Order, even if they entered the world, wouldn’t stand on the side of mortal beings, but would maintain the rules they cared about, so there’s no need to pay too much attention.
