Chapter 1062: Chapter 674: Just Like Being Forced Chapter 1062: Chapter 674: Just Like Being Forced The matter was far from over.
Without any need for Jiang i’s reminder, even the Zhao Family brothers who had just been transferred here were quick to move, surrounding Monk Zhi Kong in their midst.
Since they had already made their move, resulting in the fall of an Arhat of the Bodhi Sect, how could they possibly let another go?
Even if they did not harm his life, they had to at least keep him within the Imperial Court.
“…”
Monk Zhi Kong ca out of his daze and turned his head towards the group.
He fell into silence.
Previously, Immortal Fellow Shen had already given him a chance; it was Master Hui Zhen who had actively revealed his Arhat Fruit Position, cutting off his own retreat.
As an old acquaintance, the other party had been very considerate, and how could he himself make things difficult for him again.
With this thought in mind, Monk Zhi Kong lowered his head, brought his palms together, and slowly closed his eyes, adopting a posture that suggested he was at their disposal.
“Sorry.”
Seeing this, Jiang i took out the silver hook, ready to pierce through the monk’s Pipa Bone.
However, just as she took a step forward, her wrist was grasped by soone.
Jiang i looked over with puzzlent, and Monk Zhi Kong also opened his eyes in confusion.
“Go on, be careful on the road.”
Shen Yi did not engage in unnecessary pleasantries or reveal the relationship between the two, rely giving a gentle reminder.
Just like Jiang i and the others didn’t trust him, Titled General Shen Yi, he likewise didn’t fully trust these subordinates he had just t.
“I…”
Monk Zhi Kong suddenly swallowed, his expression touched.
Including the previous event of his two senior brothers ambushing him, this was the second ti the Bodhi Sect had made a move against Immortal Fellow Shen.
A brief encounter from the past had now saved his life twice.
Monk Zhi Kong pondered for a long ti, finally shaking his head and saying, “This ti is different from before. Master Hui Zhen has considerable status within the sect, and his demise will surely be investigated thoroughly by the sect. If they know I am still alive, they will certainly…”
Upon saying this, even the three Demon Slayers showed a look of bewildernt.
The ferociously resolute General Nanyang, who had just ordered the release of the monk, was letting him leave, and they hadn’t even had a chance to protest when the monk himself refused to go?!
More surprising to them was that even though Monk Zhi Kong made it clear, there was not the slightest change on Shen Yi’s face; he simply nodded and responded, “It’s fine, I have it under control.”
The Dragon Tiger Scripture had helped him to get rid of his greatest calamity after leaving Nanyang, the Purple-Bearded White Dragon.
Moreover, up to this point, Shen Yi still hadn’t encountered any trouble for slaying those two Walkers, which was reason enough for him.
“…”
Monk Zhi Kong stood quietly on the spot, looking back at the young man in front of him.
Beneath those violent and fierce thods was a kind heart.
Compared to Master Hui Zhen, this young man, who had never set foot in the Bodhi Sect, seed more like an Arhat.
The monk clasped his palms even tighter, deeply bowing towards the young man ahead, as if devoutly worshipping a Golden Body in a temple.
After the bow, Monk Zhi Kong said no more, turning to head down the mountain, his silhouette gradually disappearing amidst the rugged, broken paths.
Leaving behind Jiang i and the others, who exchanged glances as they tentatively said, “General, should we place a mark on him, in case sothing happens, we can be alerted in advance?”
“… ”
Shen Yi glanced at her and remained silent.
Jiang i also instantly realized; if there were truly any suspicions, with the fierce stance of the great personage earlier, the monk wouldn’t even have had the chance to be bewildered, his head would have exploded along with that Jiao Dragon.
Thinking more unpleasantly.
Regarding the Buddha Seal that Hui Zhen Monk had swung out earlier, General Nanyang didn’t need to do anything himself; he could have just dodged and not intervened, taking the opportunity to eliminate this troubleso old friend.
“I understand.”
Jiang i took a deep breath and bowed deeply with a fist.
Aside from his terrifying strength, she gained a deeper understanding of the character of the newly appointed Titled General.
“Let’s go back.”
Shen Yi reminded softly. As for the matters of follow-up, it was of course not necessary for a Titled General to handle it personally.
He turned into a streak of light and headed for the nearest county town.
Also tallying the gains from this journey.
[Slaying of a Fifth Grade Cloud Bull, total lifespan of Ninety-three Tribulations, remaining lifespan of Sixty-two Tribulations, fully absorbed]
[Slaying of a Sixth Grade Flower Winged Flood Dragon, total lifespan of Twenty-eight Tribulations, remaining lifespan of Nine Tribulations, fully absorbed]
Shen Yi had once slain another Fifth Grade Taiyin Demon Immortal in Bihai, a White Feather Golden Crane, with a total lifespan of just over fifty tribulations.
By comparison, this Cloud Bull born of the Bodhi Sect had nearly double the total lifespan, clearly having consud many lifespan-extending treasures.
No wonder one was called a demon and the other was worshipped as an Arhat; having a big backer indeed made a difference.
Aside from these two major creatures, the demon soldiers and Demon Generals who died on the mountainside due to heartfires also offered up nearly twenty more Lifespan Years to Shen Yi.
[Remaining Demon Lifespan: Ninety-eight Tribulations]
A sweep yielding nearly a hundred Tribulations of Demon Lifespan, although compared to the vast numbers required to reach the Fourth Grade through Dao Fruit and Fruit Position, it still wasn’t quite enough.
Yet, this trip had broadened Shen Yi’s horizons.
In the lands governed by the Divine Dynasty, demons were indeed rare, but outside, there were many such seasoned Demon Kings; it’s just unknown where they were hiding in this vast world.
But if evil can avoid the eyes and ears of others, how can they hide from the Sky Curtain above their heads?
Qinghua is now working under the Fourth Grade Immortal General, after all, there’s bound to be news and ways.
If he could find the ti, Shen Yi might explore this avenue.
However, before going out, he also had to consider it carefully.
