Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1285 - 766 Returning to the Deep Mountain Old Forest Den?_3

...

Shen Zhou, Imperial City.

In the serene Deep Garden, Ye Lan quietly arrived at the wine pool, led by a maid.

A man submerged his entire body in the pool, with only his head exposed, lazily leaning against the pebbles. Beside him stood Master Lin Shuya from the Immortal Department, hands respectfully by his sides.

Ye Lan had met such prominent figures before, but she still felt a bit uneasy.

After all, she was different from Shen Yi. Having grown up in the Three Immortals Sect, how could she not recognize one of the Six Supreme Sovereigns of Heaven and Earth? This was the Human Emperor, the ruler over all living beings.

"Your Majesty, a letter has arrived from afar."

She stood at a distance, not passing the letter through the maid’s hands. Instead, she enveloped it in Tribulation Power and sent it directly to the Human Emperor’s side.

Shen Yi had instructed that this letter was to be delivered only among three people. Not even the head of the Immortal Department, the nominal superior of the General of Southern Defense, could touch it.

Lin Shuya silently stared at the envelope.

He did not understand why a cultivator who had wandered off alone, showing no regard for the people’s lives, could still occupy the channels of information for which the Imperial Court had sacrificed lives.

"You all may leave now," the Human Emperor smacked his lips.

Lin Shuya was momentarily stunned, a complex expression in his eyes, but he said nothing more, and he led the maid out of the place.

Ye Lan watched with wide eyes, feeling quite astonished.

It was well known that the Immortal Department was the Human Emperor’s most trusted office, and Lin Shuya was the closest person to this Emperor. Yet, at this moment, in the Human Emperor’s eyes, Shen Yi’s letter seemed much more important than Master Lin?

Watching them leave, the Human Emperor smiled and shook his head after a moment.

Even the Revival Lord has his days of misjudgment. He had thought that the youth he had personally rescued from the corpses in the drought-stricken North Continent, who had experienced the divine power of the Gods and Buddhas, would be the person in the world who understood him most. However, it now seemed that this was not the case.

But as things stand, he, as the Human Emperor, had become a trapped dragon, unable even to leave this shallow pool. Changing people now was too late.

No matter.

After all, the situation was settled. With Lin Shuya’s insignificant skills, even stirring up a little ripple would be difficult; he was truly inconsequential.

The only pity was losing someone with whom he could share his innermost thoughts.

Fortunately, he had recently found new amusement.

A person with a path entirely different from his own, with no connection between their actions, who would not influence each other in whatever they did, yet maintained contact. freewёbnoνel.com

It could help the Human Emperor relieve some of his inner vexation.

The man slowly unfolded the letter.

"Is... is he okay?" Ye Lan knew this was a great disrespect, but she could not help asking.

Fortunately, the Human Emperor had a casual nature. After reading the contents of the letter, he raised an eyebrow, "He should be close to death now."

A fugitive pursued by Southern Sumeru, still causing unrest in the North Continent.

Participating in the struggle for the dojo, is that something a person who dares not reveal his identity should be messing with?

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?" Ye Lan’s face instantly turned pale.

"He even asked me if I had any advice." The Human Emperor rolled his eyes, looked at the young girl behind him, and casually waved the letter in his hand, "Tell him, my only advice is for him to quickly get back to hiding in the mountains. Day by day, where does he get such audacity?"

All living beings in the world are struggling for life and death. This one, who does not need to worry, surprisingly does not appreciate it at all.

Regardless, he would achieve success and fame in the end. Why rush now? How much could taking over a mere Kaiyuan Prefecture shorten the time to become a Buddha and an Ancestor?

"He won’t listen to me..." Ye Lan bit her lip, thinking that she had been quite tactful. Shen Yi, when determined, would ignore even the Human Emperor’s words.

Upon hearing this, the man seemed a bit speechless. He looked at Ye Lan, then at the letter in his hand.

After a long while of hesitation, seemingly reluctant to lose this only amusement.

He furrowed his brows, handing Ye Lan a token, "Send this along. If he finds himself in trouble, as long as it does not endanger the lives of those Great Generals, they can save him once. But only this one time... Anyway, considering his identity as the General of Southern Defense has been exposed, he won’t be able to stay in the North Continent. By then, he should find an isolated mountainous area to hide in."

Ye Lan nervously received the token. His Majesty knew Shen Yi’s cultivation, and the so-called generals who could save his life would naturally be the Second Rank National Guardian Generals, cloaked in the Emperor’s Aura!

"Thank you, Your Majesty..."
