A Master of the Laws Who Can't Get Involved
Bang.
When he heard the sound of the door closing, the dark room returned to silence.
Ye Zichen sat in the same chair as before, leaning against the door. He stared at the spot Su Yiyun had occupied.
After a long while, a soft sigh echoed through the room.
"You regret it, don't you?"
He seemed to be muttering to himself, but at the same time, he didn't. He reached out and brushed his hand over Su Yiyun's cup. By the time his hand left it, the cup had already disappeared from the table.
The chair he'd occupied was gone too.
After that, a curtain appeared in front of him.
"Since you've said it, then …. Let's meet on the battlefield."
As soon as he finished speaking, mountains and rivers began to appear on the curtain, and what was reflected on it was the entire blueprint of the Immortal Region.
….
Maple City, in the outer reaches of the Immortal Region.
After much deliberation, Ye Zichen deduced that if the demons invaded, this would be the place they'd face them most directly.
Of course, he couldn't be absolutely certain that this was the place. No one could say for sure that the demons wouldn't attack from another city or the Beast Region, catching them off guard.
In order to avoid that possibility, Ye Zichen hadn't gathered everyone here. Instead, he ordered them to remain within their own territories. So long as one side found a demon landing spot, they could send a signal and the others would immediately rush to their aid.
As for Maple City, where the demons were most likely to land, Ye Zichen naturally had to stand guard himself.
He wore a black robe formed from the Swirling Flash Armor. Don't think that it didn't offer enough defense; in reality, it was shockingly strong.
A blood-red cloak draped over his shoulders, and he wielded a blood blade formed from essence blood.
The Xuan-Yuan Sword had broken while trying to save him. Although Ye Zichen had stuck it back in during his Divine Bestowal, the artifact spirit, Xuan-Yuan Xiang, had been too heavily injured and was still in a deep slumber.
Without an artifact spirit, the Xuan-Yuan Sword was nothing more than a divine artifact. It couldn't unleash even a tenth of its true strength.
As a result, he could only settle for the next best thing: using a blade of blood and essence to fight the enemy.
He sat majestically atop his maroon steed, his crimson cloak fluttering in the wind. He looked just like an ancient general on the battlefield.
Leisure House, his subordinate faction, as well as the guards and ambitious people of Maple City, also came forward to help.
Due to the strategy of elite troops, those who could go out of the city to face the enemy were all experts of the Heaven Immortal realm.
With the support of the Dragon Vein, the overall strength of the Immortal Region had a qualitative improvement.
Outside the city, there were four squads of a hundred people, all of them staring at the sky with bright eyes.
Prepare to meet the enemy at any time!
The atmosphere outside the city froze. No one dared to let their guard down. The invasion of the Devil Clan more than half a year ago was still vivid in their minds. Even if they won in the end, it was still the same now. No one could face the Devil Clan with a relaxed attitude.
In such an atmosphere, a very impatient and angry rebuke appeared.
"Ye Zichen, I've already reminded you more than once that I'm the Master of the Laws here, not your lackey. Can you stop asking me for help with every little thing?"
Lin Ru stood beside Ye Zichen, her hair tied up in a ponytail. She knit her brows and muttered to herself.
To tell the truth, she was furious. Given her status, she should have been able to transcend the struggles of the mundane world. Her nature dictated that she stick to her principles.
Yet this guy kept using the Modern Realm's friendship to persuade her, the Master of the Laws, to come help him.
"Can you not be so heartless?" Ye Zichen pursed his lips. "For better or for worse, we were on good terms back in the Modern Realm, weren't we? I was the one who healed the old man's injuries, right? Also, aren't you and Su Yan good friends? And that boyfriend of yours? We're good buddies! With so many factors in front of us, are you really going to ignore me? "
Lin Ru's expression darkened. The only reason she'd come here was because he'd tried to persuade her.
"I don't need you to repeat yourself. Right now, I'm telling you, I'm the Master of the Laws here. I obey the Heavenly Dao, and I can't get involved in your mundane conflicts. To tell you the truth, we have to be careful in our line of work. If we offend the Heavenly Dao, we'll have to resign. "
"Hm?" Ye Zichen cocked his head and pretended he didn't understand.
"Stop pretending. I know you understand," said Lin Ru. Lin Ru said, "I really can't help you deal with the demon race. Even though I hate the demon race because of your relationship with Su Su, I still can't interfere."
"Hm?" Ye Zichen continued to feign ignorance.
"Ye Zichen!" Lin Ru might as well call him by his full name.
For a woman, if she called him by his full name, it meant the problem was serious. Ye Zichen knew this well, so he didn't feign ignorance.
"Don't be so irritable. Otherwise, I'll have a hemorrhage."
Lin Ru frowned once more. Ye Zichen hurriedly waved his hands.
"Alright, alright, Your Majesty, please calm down. In truth, I understand your difficulties as Masters of the Laws."
"Then why …."
"But difficulties can be overcome!" Ye Zichen said flippantly. When he sensed that she was about to explode again, he hurriedly said, "Don't get worked up. I'm not done yet. I know you're in trouble, and I definitely won't let you touch your bottom line. To put it simply, Master of the Laws is a civil servant. I definitely can't let you lose your iron rice bowl. All you have to do is stay here and help me knock out those who use strength surpassing the immortal king level. That's enough. What do you think? That's reasonable, right? "
"That is indeed reasonable."
Lin Ru nodded. As Masters of the Laws, their mission was to stabilize the chains of law here and eliminate those who challenged the laws.
If she only had to knock out those who used strength surpassing the immortal king level, she could do it.
"See? We've reached an agreement, haven't we?"
Ye Zichen pursed his lips into a smile. When she saw his flippant behavior, Lin Ru couldn't help but frown. She couldn't shake the feeling that this guy was plotting something. There was definitely a trap waiting for her to jump into.
But she just couldn't figure out what it was.
"In any case, if no one surpasses the immortal king level, then I'll just watch. I won't do anything even if you kill me," Lin Ru thought to herself.
Lin Ru thought to herself. But at this moment ….
A heavy pressure filled the air. A faint purple aura fused with the air, and when sunlight shone through it, it shone with a faint purple light.
Banners fluttered in the wind, blotting out the sky.
The sky was filled with an endless sea of demon warriors. At the same time, more and more of them walked out of the spatial transfer formation.
Ye Zichen really had predicted their landing spot ….
