Chapter 976: Chapter 638: The Honest Man Who Got Promoted Chapter 976: Chapter 638: The Honest Man Who Got Promoted “…”
Shen Yi glanced at ng Xiuwen, who had an awkward smile on his face, and then looked down at the bloody head at his feet.
He probably understood why the other party had such an embarrassed expression.
After all, the Demon Slayer Bureau was different from the Demon-suppression Bureau; the latter acted on orders from the Martial Temple and legitimately oversaw Jiuzhou, where within the boundaries of Great Qian, the Martial Temple’s word was law.
But in the divine lands, the control of the Imperial Court was clearly balanced by the Immortal Court.
Hence, the Demon Slayer Bureau had many considerations when handling matters, as secretive forces always had to weigh risks to avoid drawing the attention of the Immortal Court.
Like the current situation, it certainly hadn’t escalated to the extent that it would necessitate offending a Taiyi Immortal Family just to resolve the issue.
“I didn’t fucking do it on purpose.”
ng Xiuwen was so angry that he clenched his teeth and cursed: “I was planning to take that damn net and leave, who would’ve thought this brat, shouting sothing about being too overbearing, and like he had a sick brain, just charged at … And he’s a cultivator comparable to a sixth-grade, how can he be so brainless.”
Ye Jing suddenly interrupted his complaint: “Things are pretty much handled over here.”
“Ah?”
It was then that ng Xiuwen ca back to his senses and noticed the ss around him before looking up at the sky.
The night sky was still murky, but compared to before, there was an air of chaos, a sign of the absence of any sovereign.
“You killed the Yulong Ancestor?”
He stared wide-eyed at the girl in the green dress.
“And his mount, the Spirit Beast, was also of the Seventh Grade Realm,” Ye Jing said, her gaze fixed on the head on the ground.
“Tch, tch, tch!” ng Xiuwen fell silent for a mont, then smacked his lips in amazent: “I didn’t see it coming, you’ve grown more capable.”
“It wasn’t .” Ye Jing shook her head, stepped back half a step, and revealed Shen Yi.
“…”
This subtle movent made ng Xiuwen freeze on the spot. He knew Ye Jing well; the girl would never boast or shirk responsibility.
If she had even the slightest thing to do with these two deaths, she wouldn’t have said such a thing.
His gaze shifted to Shen Yi’s calm deanor, and ng Xiuwen began to tug at his hair even more vigorously. What on earth had the Land God sent his way!
It was the sa puzzle as before, but now the implication had completely reversed.
Previously, he thought Shen Yi was sowhat clever but difficult to manage, and not particularly strong, which made him seem not very useful.
The surprise now was how such a talented young man had ended up seeking employnt from the Land God.
“Let have a look.”
ng Xiuwen reached out to the two of them.
Ye Jing took out the corpse of the Yulong Ancestor and then stared blankly at Shen Yi.
“…”
Under their gaze, Shen Yi was silent for a long ti, reluctantly taking out the body of the Bear Demon, but before the two could get a clear look, he quickly retracted it back into his Finger Ring.
There was no way he was going to hand it over.
Now that he and Zi Yang had co to the divine lands alone and without backing, each demon corpse represented an additional source of strength, as well as the opportunity to learn more about the various forces in the divine lands.
“Hisss.”
ng Xiuwen, with his keen eyesight, had only needed a glimpse to deduce from the injuries on the Bear Demon that it had t its end at the hands of so domineering technique.
“Immortal Law?”
“He knows ‘Immortal Law’ too,” Ye Jing said, knowing what ng was concerned about and dispelling his conjecture with a single sentence.
“The Land God said you’re a Loose Cultivator.”
ng Xiuwen turned around, examining the young man in front of him from head to toe: “So… this is your thod of Independent Cultivation?”
Other Loose Cultivators resorted to learning a variety of minor and often overlooked techniques because they had no other path forward.
But this one, was it aning to rge the thods of both teachings?
“What do we do now?” Shen Yi didn’t want to waste ti on this matter and casually kicked the head on the ground.
But to his surprise, this action made ng Xiuwen’s eyelids twitch once more.
He had been worried that this young man would be sowhat restrained when dealing with the three schools, but now, based on this action, he was only afraid that Shen Yi was being too unbounded.
This wasn’t about whether he revered the three schools or not; it was about not taking the three schools into account at all!
“What to do…”
ng Xiuwen slowly withdrew his gaze, and since everyone’s actions had been quite decisive, it didn’t really matter: “Report back, let them co and resolve it. Anyway, it’s not the first ss the Daoist has made, just signal casually.”
As he spoke, his burly deanor lacked any semblance of a Demon Slayer Officer.
“Let’s go!”
Picking up the head and body, ng Xiuwen gestured grandly with a sweep of his hand, leading the two out of the Jade Dragon Sect.
…
More than ten days later, at the Land Temple of Jianyang Prefecture.
Two red-faced little Daoist boys waited obediently, serving tea and water for the two people sitting next to the short table.
“My sister hasn’t caused you any trouble, has she?”
To the right of the table sat a girl with black hair reaching her waist, pretty-faced and dressed in plain white n’s swordsman attire; she looked crisp and neat, which added an air of heroism.
“You worry too much. Ye Jing is highly capable and has resolved many disasters for Jianyang Prefecture. Truthfully, it’s the old man who’s been troubling her.”
Min Zhiyan clasped his hands together, showing no pretense of superiority before this woman.
Although she was Ye Jing’s sister and there wasn’t much age difference between the two won, their cultivation levels were worlds apart.
If it weren’t for Ye Lan joining the Demon Slayer Bureau, with her strength, she might have even qualified for the selection of the fifth-rank immortal official of the Immortal Court.
“Is it sothing troubleso that brings Lady Ye to Jianyang Prefecture this ti?”
As the Land God, Min Zhiyan was well aware of what the Demon Slayers had done at the Jade Dragon Sect.
“Troubleso? Hardly,” Ye Lan said softly as she massaged her wrist. “Though Qing i plucked the Taiyi Dao Fruit, she dislikes constraints and hasn’t taken an official post at the Immortal Court; she’s just a casual Loose Cultivator, after all. If we handle it cleanly and keep our lips sealed, there won’t be any major issues.”
