Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1417 - 824: What I Want, I Will Take with My Own Hands

"You all..."
Lin Shuya suddenly felt a bit bewildered and at a loss, for in his impression, the Immortals and Buddhas always maintained a calm and composed demeanor, as if everything in the world was within their grasp.
This was the first time he had seen such unbearable changes in expression on the faces of these Great Freedom Bodhisattvas.
With world-shattering power in your hands and undying and undying Divine Skills, what exactly... are you afraid of?!
Lin Shuya suddenly didn’t dare to turn around.
He couldn’t understand why the General of Southern Defense behind him, who had once had to flee incognito just to preserve his life, could now render the Immortals and Buddhas utterly silent.
The Jinluan Hall was plunged into deathly silence.
The four Great Freedom Bodhisattvas seated high above the sacrificial altar were no less horrified than Lin Shuya. They stared in horror at the figure in the golden hairpin and mysterious robe, their minds in a daze.
Just when the two sects were purging heaven and earth, even First Rank giants were sent out, leaving no part of the Barbaric untouched, determined to capture this person. Yet, this criminal under Imperial Court made a brazen entrance into the Imperial City!
This was undoubtedly a move courting death.
But even before the other party could seek their death, what concerned the Great Freedom Bodhisattvas more was their own lives.
A significant part of the Second Rank’s confidence came from being undying and undying.
The reason that led the two sects to agree on jointly capturing this disciple who had rendered outstanding service to the Three Immortals Sect was precisely the possibility that this person possessed mysterious means capable of erasing the Fruit Position and Dao Fruit entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, wasn’t it?
The ruthless scene from the legal debate surged into their minds.
The Great Freedom Bodhisattvas seemed to have turned into real clay sculptures, their fingertips not daring to move an inch, until beads of sweat broke out on their foreheads, their backs drenched, and the lines of defense in their hearts almost crumbling, they finally bowed their heads tremblingly and said in a low voice:
"We pay our respects to Jade Void Universe True Monarch."
At the moment this voice echoed in the Jinluan Hall, all civil and military officials were frozen, and Lin Shuya’s face turned instantly pale. Even the emperor seated high on the throne instinctively shrank back, the Imperial Crowns swaying uncontrollably, showing a hint of embarrassment.
Perhaps not everyone recognized a General of Southern Defense named Shen Yi, but ever since news came back from the Four Continents, almost everyone had heard the esteemed name of the Jade Void Universe True Monarch.
Because all the things that influenced the overall situation of the Divine Dynasty couldn’t bypass the notorious reputation of this person.
It was this individual who unified the immortals of the North Continent, stifled the East Continent’s Sumeru Mountain, and personally broke the legal debate presided over by the True Buddha, causing a stalemate between the two sects, leading to the Immortal Court forgiving the Human World in this scene.
They just hadn’t expected that such a leader of ten thousand immortals would be so young.
"It’s you..."
Lin Shuya’s neck muscles bulged as, under immense inner fear, he forced himself to turn around and gaze at the young man ahead, his pupils trembling.
He knew more than others and, in an instant, connected these pieces of information, finally arriving at a heart-pounding answer.
Back then, after meeting the late emperor, the other party did not escape far, but infiltrated the Three Immortals Sect, stirring the winds and clouds as an Immortal, ultimately resulting in the True Buddha personally descending to the Human World for negotiations.
Why... had no one ever told him about these things?
The late emperor had always been guarding against him, the head of the Immortal Department?
Lin Shuya looked outside the hall at Ye Lan, and only then did he realize the role this woman had played by the Human Emperor’s side.
The chill in his heart gradually fermented to its peak.
He had devoted his whole life to the Divine Dynasty but had been kept in the dark all along.
"Since you have already sacrificed so much, why can’t you sacrifice once more?"
Clenching his teeth, Lin Shuya mustered the courage to meet those clear, dark eyes, lowering his voice, and issuing a hoarse question.
After doing so much, what he sought was nothing more than peace under the heavens, wasn’t it?
Now that the Immortal Court and the Divine Dynasty were finally reconciled, with the goal achieved, watching the nation about to prosper and the citizens to live in safety, what was this young man jumping out for now...
Seeking credit and rewards?
If the Divine Dynasty recognized the identity of someone seen as a thorn in the side by the two sects, wouldn’t it have to stand back on the opposing side of the Immortal Court again?
Then everything fought for before would be in vain.
"Why can’t you... die silently for the vastness of the Four Continents?"
Lin Shuya’s eyes were filled with blood, as he actively took a step, moving slightly closer to the young man.
Behind him was the entire Human World, so no matter how fearful, he could not retreat half a step!
"..."
Faced with these two questions, Shen Yi was silent for a moment.
Moments later, he suddenly let out a low laugh.
When they first met in the Imperial City, Shen Yi had roughly discerned some things.
The Human Emperor, Lin Shuya, and himself were people walking different paths, unable to see eye to eye, but regardless of the road taken, the goal was to do something for the Human World.
Between people, the most difficult thing was to find common ground while reserving differences, as was the case with himself, he found it hard to accept the Human Emperor’s insane act of sacrificing seventy percent of the world’s spirits.
Before the result came out, Shen Yi couldn’t rashly judge whether Lord Lin’s actions were wrong.
But now, he suddenly felt relieved.
Because among these three paths, one was false, merely a slogan for personal gain.
Shen Yi reached out a hand, his fingertips touching Lin Shuya’s crazily twitching face. Seriously smoothing out the exaggerated and hideous expression of the middle-aged man, he said plainly: "Turns out only we wish to win, while you all along just wanted to live like a dog, alive for anything but good."
