Cultivating Immortality: Start by burying corpses in a border town and become proficient!

#568 - The past latent images are beginning to be cleared out

The southern hub city, the main hall in the center.

"To be honest, I'm not surprised by Yunyi's rebellion."

The upper-level personnel of the Hub City who had hurried here because of the emergency and gathered again, had not yet caught their breath when they heard Duen, who was sitting at the top, speak so calmly.

Everyone's heart tightened and they subconsciously held their breath.

For a moment, you could hear a pin drop in the hall, and only Du En's voice was heard.

"Back then, Yun Yi and I had a grudge, and I'm sure you all know it. Now he probably thinks that the old grudge is hard to resolve, and I've ascended to the position of the master, so he's uneasy, fearing that I'll settle the old score. Plus, with the instigation of the Fudong Immortal Sect, he simply rebelled against me and the sect, and just happened to be able to obtain the resources provided by them to break through his cultivation, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

"The subordinates dare not!"

Because Du En hinted at something, all the cultivators spoke in trembling voices, but from their trembling voices, one could tell whether they dared or not.

"Oh, why not? If my guess is correct, Yun Yi has now broken through the shackles of the realm that trapped him and reached the realm of the Void Refinement Stage. Considering that he was previously restricted by various things and could only choose to accumulate his foundation, I'm afraid he can rise several levels in a short period of time."

“…”

"Why no words?"

Du En asked calmly, and the Yuanying stage people below began to feel a little confused, because it was normal that they did not dare to express any more opinions. Based on Du En's previous actions, he should not pursue them any further.

They felt something in their hearts, and then gradually noticed the strange atmosphere in the hall.

Zhen Hong Zhenren on the upper left was as silent as a statue, while a group of great monks gradually broke out in cold sweat, and many of them lowered their heads and pursed their lips.

"It seems that you all know or realize the key point, which is why he is still brooding over the old grudge that should have been resolved when I came back this time and took the initiative to show my goodwill."

Du En paused and said bluntly: "After all, you who know Yunyi's character and actions better than me would also be concerned and surprised. Why, when I have a strong control over Yunyi City, my disciples repeatedly come out to plot ambushes and kill me!"

A group of great monks were sweating profusely, their souls were trembling, and there was an extremely bad feeling hanging in their hearts that could not be dispelled.

"In the final analysis, the situation in the South is here. Without me and the Chief Decision Maker, it's time for you to reshuffle the cards. After all, the time has come for the old master to die."

Dunn hits the nail on the head.

Zhen Hong Zhen is about to die, so it is time to replace the position of Lord of Shu City and the helmsman of the South.

When the True Lords form an alliance and fight each other, the best solution is to select one of the existing great monks in the South to promote.

Therefore, the great monks who are capable of competing for this position began to suppress their cultivation, accumulate their foundation, and wait for the right time to break through, so as to avoid breaking through too early and being transferred away.

At this point, the situation becomes clear.

There were conflicts among the great monks, and there were even more conflicts between the great monks in the hub city and the great monks in the big city. There was a great competitive relationship. Before Zhen Hong stepped down, this conflict had already evolved and grown rapidly, secretly affecting all aspects, and thus affected Du En at that time.

"First, there is the issue of the Supervisory Guard."

"The subordinate is terrified! The subordinate is guilty!"

The commander of the Supervisory Guard immediately knelt down and kowtowed, showing that he was very uneasy. However, the other commanders of the executive departments were not too surprised, they just lowered their heads with looks of panic.

Zhen Hong Zhenren remained completely silent, but there were some beads of sweat on his forehead.

Because he had a responsibility that he couldn't shirk no matter what happened to the cultivators below him, and this time, Du En...

"The problem with the Inspectorate is that they are lax and lazy, not doing as well as before, and not fulfilling their duties. That's why the various actions I've seen from before to now seem lukewarm, inefficient, and powerless."

Du En's voice remained calm. He didn't care about the commander's apology or his performance. He continued leisurely, "Due to the issue of functions, it naturally became a bargaining chip for the great monks from all sides. As a commander, he was even more weak and incompetent. He knew he couldn't compete for the position, so he chose to turn a blind eye. As a result, he was infiltrated by all sides like a sieve. Only some low-level supervisory monks were relatively normal."

"Yes, it is the subordinates who are guilty of unforgivable crimes..."

"However, when True Lord Zhu Ding was rectifying the Southland, he chose to bypass you. I just read the reasons he gave. He said that although you were a scattered group, you did not avoid fighting or cowardly, so you did not need to be punished too much."

The commander-in-chief was shaking like a sieve, perhaps knowing that the matter of Master Zhuding was brought up and he would no longer be able to avoid it, so he stood up and said something loudly.

The result is hard to say.

Because Duane wouldn't allow it.

He just continued his calm words, "Speaking of Yunyi, he has enough background to compete for the position of the Central Power, so he naturally infiltrated the Supervisory Guard. That's why his disciple Yunying was able to know the person I wanted to find, where the Gray Falcon was, and why Yunying was able to take people out of the prison in Yunyi City, etc., all of which were done by him."

"Of course, in Chiwu City, Yunying only arranged some second-rate people to monitor my movements. It was because the disciples were too stupid and there were mistakes in the execution. I was obviously late for some reason, but Yunying was still stubborn and thought that I would definitely show up at that time. Why is that?"

The answer was simple, because this was the information "given" by the person he most respected, his master, so he felt that it must not be wrong.

Of course, this would not be given directly. Among the great monks in the Hub City, there would naturally be those who would investigate and track down the case because they care about it. Those who were competitors of Yun Yi did not get any evidence in the end. They were in a situation where they knew that their political enemies had black spots but were unable to report and bring them down.

"Similarly, the news that I left Nanmo and started traveling was also given by the secret sentry of the Supervisory Guard. Originally, there were no Supervisory Guards in the border town. However, due to the special location, I decided to take the opportunity to investigate it in depth, and I actually found some clues..."

"Duan, don't be so arrogant and self-righteous!"

The commander who was originally suppressed suddenly gained some kind of power and broke free from the suppression. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said something so paradoxical that made the old master open his eyes wide and made a group of great monks exclaim that it was terrible.

How dare he?!

"You are Master Zhu Ding's man. He ordered you not to worry about so many things and just do your duty well on weekdays. But when it comes to my affairs, he is happy to promote my accelerated growth, so he lets you intervene. It just happens to go along with Yun Yi's actions, making everything seem seamless."

"So what? Right now, the South is in chaos. Why don't you immediately go and wipe out the rebellious Yunyi and defeat the enemy troops hiding in the East? Instead, is it really meaningful to investigate this issue thoroughly?"

The commander of the Supervisory Guards was not afraid of life or death at this time, and only said in a stern voice: "Let me tell you more. The technique you mainly practiced in the foundation-building period was intentionally taught to you by Yun Yi's disciple. The reason why his disciple Ren Li did not think there was a problem was because it was practiced by his senior brothers and sisters. How do you think Yun Yi accumulated his foundation quietly and could achieve success in one fell swoop and directly reach the late stage of refining emptiness, enough to rival the level of Zhen Hong old ghost? Of course it was because of cannibalism! One by one, he managed to stimulate and accelerate the cultivation of people to the perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, and cultivate the middle-grade technique Jianling Gong to the top, turning them into special spirit stones!"

"I know."

"Well……"

The commander of the Supervisory Guard was stopped on the spot.

"I also know that his performance in the previous sect competition was, first, to pretend that he loved his disciple like a son, and second, to try to paralyze me with a low profile. After he found that my rise was difficult to stop and unexpected, he had already begun to plan for the follow-up."

"There was only half of the pig left in the Dragon Palace. He should have released the half he had captured, and a small insignificant part of it, back to Fudong Xianmen. At that time, he had already established a connection with Fudong Xianmen. After all, there was actually no hatred between them. Then he tried to improve his own foundation, silently waiting for me to break through to the Void Refining Stage as a strong genius or a weak genius, and return to the South to be the master under the promotion of the resolution."

“Then they will cooperate from inside and outside, kill me in one go, devour me, and then help him gain the reputation of a genius. Then they can kill Fu Dong in return, creating a situation where they can help the needy and take over the position of the Lord of the Hub City or a higher position, and establish control over the South.”

Dunn calmly said these things that he had already known and guessed.

The commander of the Supervisory Guards was simply stunned.

The other great monks were stunned.

You obviously know everything, why are you pretending not to know, hiss!

If the Fudong Immortal Sect had not suffered a setback in its first battle, and if the reputation of the genius had not been so great, I am afraid that Yun Yi would have been kept in the dark and would have been eliminated by him without knowing it.

The kind that is legitimate!

After all, he still has to consider the feelings of his old acquaintance Ren Li!

Although the master is a bad person, the disciple is not. He generously helped the Master when he was in the most difficult time, which led to the glory of today. Maybe he even wants to make up a decent death for Yun Yi!

As for now, Yunyi himself has chosen to rebel, so naturally there is no need to worry about anything.

The great monks in Hub City felt their scalps tingling and a group of Nascent Soul cultivators were sweating profusely.

Will I die if I know so many things I shouldn’t know?

"Then, then..."

The commander of the Supervisory Guard was dumbfounded. Facing those eyes that were calm and deep, like holes leading to the abyss, his whole body shuddered and he knelt down again.

"Well, let's settle your guilt."

"As the commander of the Supervisory Guard, he neglected his duties, knew about the Yunyi rebellion but did not report it, and there are other things..."

"I'll report it! I'll report it!"

Obviously, he had the support of a True Lord Mountain behind him, which gave him the strength to break through Du En's casual suppression. But at this moment, he was frightened out of his wits. He screamed and quickly presented a jade book that had been prepared long ago.

"These are all the crimes of the great monks of the Hub City, the great monks of the big city, and the upper and middle levels of other cities. I have not neglected my duty. The reason why I did not report it is that, firstly, Elder Zhenhong is only the Lord of Hub City, only half a level lower than me, so I don't need to report to him. Secondly, the previous incident was urgent and I haven't had time to sort it out and report it. Thirdly, although the spies of the Supervisory Guard are still in the enemy-occupied area, the Fudong villains are also prepared for this. I just learned about the war situation, so I am not negligent in my duty!"

Not to mention, according to the various rules of the Immortal Sect, he really did nothing wrong...

Du En accepted his report and then said, "Roaring in the Hall, disrespecting the master, and defying the decision shall be punished by death."

"you!"

Before the commander could say anything, divine fire fell. The sun was overbearing, and there seemed to be shadowy thoughts of gods in the depths, like humans and birds, which directly crushed the power of the True Lord in his body and turned it into ashes on the spot.

The Demon King's Immortal Path, or in other words, the Demon King's Great Path.

Although Duen did not gain control of this avenue, as a human Golden Crow, he had the right of inheritance. He had previously used it to pave the way for himself. When he broke through, he naturally absorbed some of the principles and filled them into the Sun God Fire. This was also the reason why his proficiency increased significantly at that time.

"Okay, it's your turn."

As he said this, he began to flip through the jade book.

The great monks were shocked and shook off their previous daze, no longer daring to be silent like wood.

"Master Master, do you really have to kill them all?"

"The Southland is in turmoil right now. Aren't you afraid that the already precarious situation will be ruined?"

"I'm not wrong! I'm just doing what other great cultivators in the immortal sect would do! What right do you have to convict me?"

Faced with all this noise, Duen just nodded slightly.

"That's right, we really can't rush things now."

His calmness is frightening, and his words are terrifying.

"I'll give you a choice. Be honest and clear your so-called back-up plan, then go to the prison you built for yourself and wait for the right time to come."

Under the speechless gaze of his own Xu Fengjiao, Du En simply put on an attitude of "I don't care, the responsibility is all on you anyway."

In other words, if you don't obey and wait for death, don't blame him for killing you right now!

It was obvious that he intended to quickly resolve the internal troubles by taking advantage of the Yunyi rebellion.

After all, if there is someone who dares to rebel and sets an example, there is no guarantee that others will not follow suit.

Especially when all these guys have something to hide, in order to avoid subsequent rebellions everywhere in the South, he simply did this to solve the current difficulties that must be solved.

"Don't worry, the same goes for the great monks guarding the big cities. All their major permissions have already been taken back by me."

Duane said, raising his hand and letting go.

Dreamy silver lights made the letters float in the hall and touch the inner wall of the dome.

It was a map that depicted the three hundred and sixty cities in the southern part of Luoyu.

At this moment, there are a total of 360 orders, including those from Jiuping City, which have been rebuilt and recovered after the lost territory was recovered, and also those from Yunyi City and other fallen cities. Obviously, he had long been on guard against Yunyi's desperate actions, and secretly used his authority as the main person to conceal the truth and retrieve the garrison order letters there.

Although this still cannot effectively hinder the well-prepared Fudong Immortal Sect, it will at least prevent the scene after the fall of Jiuping City from being created so quickly, so Du En will have enough time to hold a meeting first.

This was one of the preparations he had made, or rather, completed, before he came back.

The great monks were stunned when they saw this scene. They were dazed for a long time, and finally they put away their bluffing, and bowed bitterly.

"We are so grateful for the grace of the Master!"

They knew that this choice was chronic suicide, but they still went to their "prison" obediently to wait for death.

The reason is actually easy to understand. In addition to the fact that the so-called back-up plan could not deter Du En and now they have no confidence to rely on, it is also because they suddenly came up with an idea tacitly, that is, if Du En is defeated by Fudong Xianmen next, perhaps they will not have to die.

This is not impossible, it is also their only helpless choice at the moment.

Let it be!

Thinking this way, they all acted in unison.

"What about me? Should I continue acting?"

"Well, the conditions in that prison are pretty good. I put something there. Go over there and take it and keep an eye on these guys. But if anything goes wrong, kill them on the spot."

“…Okay.”

Xu Fengjiao was a little hesitant, and tasted a kind of straightforward taste of precariousness and uncertainty of fate from Du En's words.

He was not sure he could hold on to the Southland... She wanted to share the burden, but after weighing the difference in strength between them, she finally did not say much and chose to obey orders and do her duty.

As for the vacant positions of the Commander-in-Chief and so on...

At this moment, Dunn waved his hand and scattered a bunch of fifth and sixth level puppets.

The puppets are naturally unable to handle affairs on their own, unless they are made into intelligent types. But just like magic weapons have spirits, they definitely will not have spirits on his side. It is easy for him to make various puppets, and mass production is even easier for him. Only the spiritual puppets are a very normal situation.

In other words, it is something you can only encounter by chance.

But it didn't matter. At the moment, he was simply multitasking, using the divine machine manipulation method that he had mastered and the authority of the master to freely control everywhere in the south and make judgments and decisions on various matters.

This also includes arresting people!

Those who are in the central city, the big city, the small and medium-sized border towns, all those who should be arrested should be arrested, and those who should be killed should be killed first!

In the eyes of the great monks and Nascent Soul cultivators who had not yet retreated, there was only fear and confusion in their hearts at this moment.

One man makes an army, one man governs...

Dunn's performance always refreshes everyone's cognition, and people can't see his limits at all.

However, such obvious and drastic changes also make people feel uncomfortable, which in turn affects the hearts of people everywhere.

No matter whether it was the old friends and former subordinates who came in a hurry, or the other people from the South, they could not help but feel uncomfortable and uneasy when they saw the people around them being captured and executed, and being replaced by cold puppets.

This discomfort quickly spread throughout the Southland...
