Chapter 665: Sealed Title of Nan Yang, Imperial Blessing of a Hundred Tribulations
Well done.
With just three simple words, Ye Lan heaved a slight sigh of relief, but the seriousness in her eyes remained unchanged.
As one of the three Great Southern Governor Generals, General Yan held immense authority in the Great Southern Continent, and his words carried great weight.
However, as mentioned earlier, his temperament differed vastly from his two colleagues. Being the odd one out, he was often left to stew in his own corner while the other two worked together.
Shen Yi's blatant defiance of orders and his use of the Demon Slayer Bureau's existence to pressure his colleagues was not something General Yan could easily brush aside with a few words.
"..."
The Azure Mane Lion looked up at its master, slightly puzzled.
Why push a young man who had just joined the Demon Slayer Bureau to the forefront of danger? Ye Lan felt a twinge of unease and glanced at Shen Yi, wanting to gauge his thoughts: "..."

Meng Xiwen gaped in astonishment, his eyes widening in surprise.
The smile on his face betrayed his thoughts; the Southern Governor General was growing more and more fond of Shen Yi.
But at this moment, the three eyes on his head seemed to have been washed over by something, leaving only dark red holes, making his expression even more hideous and desperate, appearing quite pitiful and terrifying.
After speaking, he turned his head, only to pause in surprise.
Shen Yi remained silent for a moment, then lifted his gaze to meet the general's: "The Divine Dynasty will succeed."
It was true that the Immortal Court was formed by the Tri-Immortal Sect.
"You—" Ye Lan was at a loss for words. At this point, the general was still concerned about that broken head, which she found both amusing and infuriating.
General Yan looked into the distance, his voice calm: "Since the establishment of the Immortal Department by the court, with the wide recruitment of talents, they hope to control powers like cloud walking and rain summoning."
A half-risen great sun emerged from behind the mountains.
In certain situations, the more normal the response, the more abnormal the circumstances.
General Yan's assurance of taking responsibility seemed to be an empty promise.
This Ape Demon had wreaked havoc in three prefectures, causing the deaths of countless civilians and demon slayers. If it could return unscathed...
"A minor scuffle is one thing, but if the Immortal Department gains momentum, what will become of the Heavenly Court?"
It's just that no one dares to speak up.
The Demon Slayer Bureau operates in the shadows, and even promotions are conducted discreetly.
This is unlike the Divine Void Mountain's reputation, which is a solid and reliable backing.
Shen Yi once again displayed his characteristic style of handling matters.
As for the White Dragon siblings, they dared not utter a sound.
Although this was their first encounter with the Black Robed Youth, they could tell from this incident that despite his outwardly silent demeanor, he was undoubtedly a rebellious and unmanageable troublemaker.
...
Even the other two Southern Governor Generals, when faced with such a significant matter, hesitated and procrastinated, but this youth remained unperturbed from start to finish.
Juyang Prefecture.
"These are just my speculations, nothing more."
Even the Demon Slayers below had lost faith in the court, let alone the masses.
"Hmm," Shen Yi nodded in response.
But the benefits received were very real.
This time, it seemed the situation had escalated, to the point where even Ye Lan, a Sealed Title General, could only sit and fret.
"..."
The stout man remained unfazed by the watchful eyes around him. He walked steadily towards Shen Yi and took out two objects from his sleeve, placing them gently on the table.
"It went quite smoothly."
Upon seeing this, Ye Lan and the Azure Mane Lion's expressions changed slightly.
Now, he also held the title of Peak Master of the Divine Void Mountain.
A Sealed Title Token and an Imperial Blessing of a Hundred Tribulations.
Yang Mingli and Feng Xi were both intelligent individuals, and they understood the implications of the situation, which was why they felt fearful.
Nan Yang.
The trouble they expected to face transformed into a new Sealed Title General of the Demon Slayer Bureau in the Great Southern Continent.
The Immortal Sects had controlled this realm for countless tribulations, and in their eyes, the Divine Dynasty's actions were akin to children playing house, a comical sight.
Compared to Meng Xiwen, they had interacted with Shen Yi for a longer time, and thus, they had a slightly better understanding.
"It's not just about venting frustration."
He turned his gaze back to Shen Yi and Ye Lan, stammering: "This is what you meant by 'quite smoothly'?"
The Ape Demon had been slain, and Meng Xiwen was indeed elated, finally releasing some pent-up anger. However, the unusual circumstances left him somewhat bewildered.
Shen Yi nodded and also sat down at the stone table.
"Actually, we old folks have our suspicions."
Hearing this, Ye Lan stood up and walked over to Shen Yi's side.
He wasn't surprised by Ye Lan's departure. Meng Xiwen had already noticed something between the two.
A Sealed Title General's sudden visit was rarely a good omen.
This is no ordinary ape demon, but a Taiyi Immortal, and he is from the Tri-Immortal Sect.
Not to mention the commoners, even the cultivators felt an inexplicable crisis.
Even though the government office had strictly forbidden discussing this matter, the whispers in the streets and alleys never ceased.
The visitor was quite unfamiliar, a fat man with a large build, and even Ye Jing didn't recognize him.
At this moment, two figures walked in slowly.
As for opposing the Heavenly Court... let's not talk about this being just the old man's guess, even if it's true, it's as if the Immortal Court has ever acknowledged me.
"You're quite straightforward."
Although I don't know what kind of threat this almost playful Immortal Department can pose to the Heavenly Court, the reactions of these immortal families and the Heavenly Court are all proof that the Emperor of the Divine Dynasty has indeed made these high and mighty existences feel an exceptional sense of urgency.
A Taiyi Immortal Realm ape demon caused half of the Great Southern Continent to be in a state of self-preservation.
It's worth knowing that this is an order personally given by the Southern Governor General, to send this brute back to the Jade Pool Immortal Sect. Shen Yi just swaggered off with that beast, then went outside to slaughter it? Wait, that's not right...
"Were you also present when the Seven Treasures Bodhisattva was preaching?" Yan Lan Ting suddenly changed the topic.
To put it bluntly, I was only injured. If Ye Jing hadn't left Jianyang Prefecture, then among the fallen demon slayers, there would probably be one more corpse.
"How about following me?"
"The Bodhimanda Sect suddenly had its scriptures stolen, and the Bodhisattva preached, nothing more than wanting to spread the Dharma to the mortal world, regardless of good or evil, and to let greed take root in people's hearts."
At this point, he suddenly smiled: "Yes, it's you, such a stubborn one."
"Shut up." Ye Lan helplessly glanced at Meng Xiwen, obviously feeling a bit agitated.
Meng Xiwen raised his eyebrows, not understanding.
"What's the matter?"
"Ahem."
It was clear to anyone with eyes that this matter was obviously not the intention of the court.
The Jade Dragon Sect beheaded its sect master and Qingmei Ancestor's spiritual beast, and the Immortal Official witnessed the raid and extermination of the Baiyun Cave.

Yan Lan Ting slowly turned around: "After all, when we joined here, we said we were balancing the three religions, but we never said we were going to rebel against this heaven."
"..."
Shen Yi glanced sideways and responded calmly.
He didn't introduce the two objects, but only bowed with a complex expression: "Congratulations."
After Shen Yi left, the mansion became quite lively.
Yan Lan Ting ignored the gazes of the two and slowly walked in front of Shen Yi: "It's indeed satisfying to avenge a friend, but before killing, have you thought about the consequences?"
Just after joining the Demon Slayer Bureau, he advanced two levels from a demon slayer and was granted a title. Such a thing, I estimate, is the first time in the entire Great Southern Continent.
In short, it's a power struggle with the heavens.
Since it's like this, there's no need to go back.
The fat man took a half-step back, making a gesture of invitation.
Yan Lan Ting was taken aback, then burst into laughter: "Not bad."
For some reason, Meng Xiwen didn't see joy in the eyes of the White Dragon siblings, but instead, a faint worry.
If he had secretly slaughtered this ape demon, why didn't he find an excuse to cover it up, but instead allowed the government office to send people to publicize it so openly!
Yan Lan Ting waved his hand and changed his words: "I'm telling you this because if I'm lucky enough to guess correctly, from now on, the Demon Slayer Bureau will need not just those obedient and self-disciplined people who maintain stability, but real troublemakers."
The document detailed the crimes committed by this brute and briefly described the outcome.
"General Yang has invited you."
Meng Xiwen and Ye Jing both fell silent.
Yan Lan Ting took the token and put it away: "Go back, leave the rest to me."
Finding a few wild dragons to fetch water and a few wandering cultivators to summon lightning is enough to replace the vast Immortal Court? Absurd and laughable.
Even though his temperament suits the master's taste, he's not an appropriate candidate for cultivation.
This is my spoils of war, at most I'll lend it to that old man for a few days.
Meng Xiwen's heart tightened, and he quietly looked at Ye Lan.
If such a thing sets a precedent, the harm to the Divine Dynasty is difficult to rectify.
Even if it's the three sects' disciples, committing crimes within the Divine Dynasty's jurisdiction will cost them their lives!
In the instant they saw the two objects, Meng Xiwen and Ye Jing's expressions became dazed.
During the trip to Crane Mountain, two heads of mounts holding Immortal Orders were ruthlessly slain.
Those two were not unaware of the consequences.
Others joined the Demon Slayer Bureau for the sake of the mortal world's Imperial Blessing, but Shen Yi had the lifespan of a demon beast as a substitute, so his need for this was not significant.
As if seeing Shen Yi's thoughts, Yan Lan Ting sighed deeply.
"Sigh."
"What exactly happened?"
Such a powerful mindset is rare in the world, and cultivation is secondary.
Despite not having any personal dealings with the Righteous God Sect, Shen Yi had incurred debts with the other two sects and the Immortal Court.
Reaching the Fifth Rank, a cultivator, whether in the mortal realm or the heavens, would be a figure of prominence and respect.
Everything that fell into his hands seemed to take an inexplicably strange turn.
However, Ye Lan paid him no heed and only stared intently at the approaching figure.
The four crimson characters, visible to the crowd gathered below the city walls like a vast ocean, caused a sudden uproar.
It was the same pill as before, but with an additional, simple yet majestic pattern on its reverse side.
The Divine Dynasty couldn't be considered a reliable backing.
Yan Lan Ting extended his hand towards them.
"..."
Ordinary people only knew that the court had captured a demon, but cultivators with some knowledge understood the true significance of these four characters.
Amidst the crowd of government officials, a large carriage was escorted, carrying a severed head placed upright on top. The procession deliberately passed through the main street, creating a grand spectacle!
From Ye Lan's attitude towards this elder, it was clear that he was at least a Fourth Rank cultivator, and possibly even a Third Rank powerhouse comparable to the Bodhisattva and the Great Dharmaraja.
The silence was finally broken when a streak of light descended from the sky and landed in the courtyard.
Two more characters appeared beside it, written with a sharp brush.
However, fighting against scattered immortal cultivators was entirely different from directly confronting the entire world.
The Purple-Bearded White Dragon siblings also took the Eastern Dragon King's head and, while they were at it, brought along the people from Hongze who had yet to find a way out.
The severed head had dark skin and three eyes, resembling a wild ape.
Everyone in the courtyard, including Ye Lan, wanted this ape demon dead, but they never imagined someone would dare to take action.
"The Immortal Court turns a blind eye, allowing chaos to brew in the mortal realm."
The establishment of the Immortal Department by the Human Emperor was supposedly to assist the Immortal Court, but his intentions were blatantly obvious.
Zi Yang cleared his throat and averted his gaze.
They simply didn't dare to act.
Before he could continue questioning, a commotion erupted outside the mansion, growing louder and soon spreading throughout most of Juyang Prefecture.
"That's why your Southern Governor General feels threatened."
As expected, Shen Yi's mood upon his return was noticeably different from when he had left.
Such an obvious truth was clear to anyone.
Shen Yi contemplated for a moment before handing over the token in his hand.
As the carriage reached the city walls, someone lifted the ape demon's head, jumped up, and hung it high on the wall, along with a proclamation.
When he first joined the Demon Slayer Bureau, it was to find a powerful backer.
"Don't forget, these actions were carried out with the cooperation of various immortal cultivators."
They all looked into the distance, soon identifying the source of the commotion.
Among the crowd, even the one with the lowest cultivation was at the Dao Fusion Realm, with vision far surpassing that of ordinary people.
"The Three Immortal Sects' mounts have gone astray, causing chaos everywhere. They respond with a smiling apology, making it difficult for the court to confront them directly. It's like boiling a frog in warm water, eroding the people's trust in the Divine Dynasty."
"That's good," Meng Xiwen said, pulling at the corners of his mouth. Regardless of the circumstances, the safe return of the two was a relief, and with Ye Lan by their side, they wouldn't be bullied at the Jade Pool Immortal Sect.
Seeing her gaze, Shen Yi earnestly reminded her, "Remember to return the head to me after you're done with it."
Ye Jing also stood up with concern.
Shen Yi's actions proved... he dared, and once again, opening Ye Lan's eyes to new possibilities.
But this matter wasn't over yet.
"Public execution by beheading."
However, regarding the safe return of the ape demon to the Jade Pool Immortal Sect, she still felt a sense of indignation.
Shen Yi watched as the Demon Slayer token flew out of his clothes, not towards the other party but into his own palm.
Shen Yi first returned a salute before taking the token and examining it carefully.
Her expression, as she scrutinized the token, caused the atmosphere to grow tense.
But when Ye Lan and the Azure Mane Lion heard these words, they instinctively lowered their eyes.
That golden pill was almost like a Dao Fruit.
Under the tree, Meng Xiwen stood with his arms crossed, appearing distracted, while Ye Jing sat by the stone table, supporting her chin in thought.
If they obeyed the teachings, how dare they draw their swords against the heavens.
Yan Lan Ting's expression grew colder as he turned to the youth beside him, "Do you know the reason?"
Recognizing the visitor, Meng Xiwen was slightly surprised but forced a smile, "You're back so soon. No troubles along the way?"
As expected, it was a matter of courtesy before the real business.
"Good."
Shen Yi slowly stood up, putting the token away as the fat man left the courtyard.
