I am a living immortal.

Chapter 567 Watching a Show

The people from the Demon Slaying Division looked at the temple keeper in surprise. They knew that the temple keeper had some abilities, but they didn't expect that his abilities were even greater than they had imagined.

The temple keeper smiled at the Demon Slayer's surprised look and said, "It only looks powerful, but it won't last long."

He was telling the truth. A room full of enraged evil spirits was currently rioting in the main hall. If anything went wrong, the entire place would explode into flames. Right now, they could only barely suppress it, and it wouldn't last much longer. They could only wait and see what kind of support the Demon Slayers could summon.

As he spoke, the entire temple trembled.

The temple keeper's expression changed slightly, and he muttered a few more mantras before the trembling subsided. "This shouldn't be the case. What level of evil spirit is this? How could it be so powerful?"

The demon slayer smiled bitterly, "This evil spirit has absorbed the prayers brought by the blessing, and also contained some of the resentment of the Chengde River. Now it's probably not a simple one. It's not much worse than a county city god, maybe even more bizarre."

Before, they weren't really battling the evil spirit so much as testing each other. If they hadn't taken advantage of the other party's laxity, they would have been defeated. However, this wasn't the point. The point was that once a portion of the resentment had reached this point, it would have taken a tremendous amount of effort to completely eradicate it from the entire Chengde River.

And we have to do it before the Yan Dynasty army sets out.

Time is running out for them. Several riverbanks connecting the county towns to the Chengde River are already taking shape, and the keels of large ships are likely to be completed in a few years. If the resentment of this part of the people remains unresolved, and the soldiers are swallowed up, it will be no joke.

Judging from the situation, the Demon Slayer Division's real concern isn't the evil spirits within the temple, but rather the overwhelming resentment within Chengdejiang. It seems we need to inform the Grand Commander. He's rarely taken action in recent years, and whenever he does, it signifies a critical moment, or a situation beyond human control.

In the eyes of many people in the Demon Slaying Bureau, the two great commanders have already transcended the ordinary world.

Seeing the people from the Demon Slayer Division sigh, the temple keeper's face became serious: Is it really so dangerous? However, he would be mistaken.

The temple keeper was secretly giving his all. This wasn't selfless devotion; he had his own agenda. He actually wanted to join the Demon Slayer Division. Back when he was in Lin State, he'd considered joining the official ranks, but unfortunately, Lin State's enthusiasm was short-lived, with much talk and little action. He and his colleagues had little use for their talents.

Now that he had seen the Demon Slayer, his mind became active again.

Lin State didn't take it seriously, but Yan State did. He just didn't know what the requirements were for joining the Demon Slayer Division. Once this matter was over, he'd have a good chance to ask. As for why he absolutely had to join the Demon Slayer Division, it was firstly because it was a direction he'd set since his youth, and secondly, being a lone wolf was too dangerous, and he valued his life. In a situation like today, a lone wolf would have been killed without a burial place.

So I have to perform well this time as a token of my loyalty. Thinking of this, I feel at ease.

......

On the other side, the Demon Slayer Division immediately went to seek support.

Wei Ming also knew what was causing the chaos. Detailed intelligence was quickly delivered. He hadn't expected such a mess to happen with a single blessing. Ultimately, it was all due to Chengde Jiang's problems.

Seeing this, Su Mu asked, "Do you need my help?"

Wei Ming shook his head. "No, not for now. If I need you, I will definitely not be polite. The Demon Slayer Division will eventually have to stand on its own feet and adapt to the ever-changing world, otherwise it will be abandoned by the world."

Mirage Dragon shrugged, dismissing the matter. From his perspective, it was simply a matter of tackling. And even if these people were capable of their own work, they would ultimately be neither high nor low, so why bother? In his eyes, the dynasty had only lasted a few hundred years, and what they were doing now would ultimately be nothing more than a pile of dust.

"The Demon Slaying Division has grown a lot compared to before." Su Mu praised.

"It mainly depends on the two great commanders."

"There's another one? What about the other one? Is he also following the path of martial arts to achieve enlightenment?" Shenlong had seen one before, that martial arts master. To be honest, his strength was average, but he also caught Shenlong's eye. This was rare.

"No, the other one is a corpse reincarnation immortal."

"This method is quite rare." Shenlong also understood this. Compared with the general orthodox method, this is a wild method.

“Success?”

"It's considered a success." Wei Ming thought for a moment, "At least now he has broken through the realm of the ordinary. Generally speaking, Xuan Qi is already dead, so I can't say whether this can be considered a corpse reincarnation immortal."

This intrigued Mirage Dragon. Few could truly achieve the state of Corpse Transmigration, for this breakthrough, the process of emerging from the cocoon into a butterfly, of rebirth from death, hinged on death itself. Only those who truly faced death and maintained their true selves in the face of death could achieve a successful Corpse Transmigration; otherwise, they would be nothing more than a moving mass of flesh.

"Let's talk about business. Do you want to go and take a look?" Wei Ming asked.

What he was talking about was naturally to see how the Demon Slayer Division would subdue the corrupted evil spirit in the Temple of the Hundred Gods.

"Let's go take a look. We're free anyway." Su Mu didn't refuse Wei Ming's offer. After all, Wei Ming looked eager to see what was going on, so it wouldn't hurt to go. Besides, Su Mu was usually at the front of the line at times like this, so she didn't have the chance to just sit back and watch. It was a bit of a novelty.

Wei Ming was delighted; Su Mu still understood him. The Mirage Dragon and the Old Goat knew at a glance that they weren't particularly interested, but since Su Mu had said so, it didn't hurt to take a look.

Several people followed the people from the Demon Slaying Division.

Xuan Mo, on the other hand, was very enthusiastic about such things. Wei Ming also liked this child, who looked about the same age as Wei Qi. Although he knew that this child was not only a dragon, but also the Dragon King, and was not as young as he looked, so what? This clean temperament was what Wei Ming liked. Holding Xuan Mo's hand, they happily went to watch the show.

And here is the Temple of the Hundred Gods.

The temple keeper and the demon-slaying officials no longer had the leisurely mood they had at the beginning. The talismans affixed to the windows and doors were now shaky, swaying wildly under the influence of resentment. The peach wood sword suppressing the temple was also shaky, and the formation showed signs of disorder and collapse.

Several people had cold sweat on their foreheads.

The demonic riot within the temple grew increasingly severe. Blood seeped from the cracks in the temple, water stains appeared on the ground, and a faint, almost imperceptible stench of decay permeated the air. The entire building resembled a bulging barrel of explosives, poised to explode at the slightest sign of carelessness.

Even so, there are still people who like to watch the fun and wait and see.
