Chapter 799 67: Debauchery or Rule by Inaction? The Campaign Against Annam! (Part 2)

His injuries are now mostly healed. If he can comprehend the Secret Technique, he might not only recover fully but also progress further.

"Damn it."

"Let those bald donkeys do whatever they want."

Unrepentant Monk also has a fiery temper. Stuck in the middle due to his personal friendship with Duncan, he decided to forget about the mess of the Buddhist sect, set his mind to ignore it, and head directly to the Western Regions for a look.

Furthermore, he also needed to travel and train in the Secret Technique, and take the opportunity to see how the supreme yoga techniques of the Western Regions' Vajra Sect really are.

"He said that there is an opportunity for me to validate the Vajra Arhat in the Western Regions."

"Validate through killing."

"Vajra glaring with anger."

Unrepentant Monk wore a puzzled expression and thought to himself, "What on earth is going on in the Western Regions?"

"Could there be many degenerates within the Buddhist sect?"

Who cares.

Explore while traveling.

Unrepentant Monk was already a Vajra brute. Holding his Flying Dragon Zen staff, he intended to set off today and head to the Western Regions. He believed Duncan's words, especially since Fu Jianhan, who had slightly weaker strength than him back then, has now broken through to the Dao Entrance Realm.

Duncan said there is an opportunity for him to validate the Vajra Arhat in the Western Regions, so there must be. It was just that he didn't know what mysteries lay ahead.

Before leaving, Duncan gave him three scrolls of scriptures and some collected secret techniques, clearly meaning to tell Unrepentant Monk not to bother with those messy affairs, to focus on his cultivation, and that he has recorded achievements in his little notebook—don't forget to ask the Buddha for an Arhat Fruit Position.

After leaving King Xing's mansion, Unrepentant Monk couldn't be bothered to meet Buddhists again and directly headed towards the Potala Palace.

This journey west is to seek confirmation of true Buddhist teachings.

Unrepentant Monk felt enlightened in his heart, as if the road lay beneath his feet, and simply walking would suffice. He laughed heartily and soon disappeared beyond the horizon.

"Has Master Unrepentant left?"

No one knew when, but Miss Sun's figure appeared outside the palace gates.

Staring at the map in front of him, Duncan nodded slowly and said, "He should have gone to explore the Western Regions."

Miss Sun slowly approached his side, slightly tilting her head to gaze at the man beside her. She sniffed lightly and said in a soft voice, "It's best not to interact too much with the women in Liu Chang's palace; most of them are remnants of the Demon Sect."

Duncan chuckled, holding her delicate hand, and with the gall of a playboy, he said earnestly, "It's just for fun."

"Just also trying to comprehend the Yin Yang Secret Scripture of the Demon Sect."

As long as he knew to be cautious.

Miss Sun understood that Duncan had cultivated many techniques of the Demon Sect. Seeing his composed demeanor, she realized he wasn't entrapped by those demon beauties, which somewhat comforted her heart.

It was all her good friend's fault.

If it weren't for Lady Jade Face allowing him to comprehend the Way of Heartlessness, he wouldn't have indulged in sensual pleasures under emotional distress, engaging with many demon sect members.

While the remnants of the Demon Sect surely couldn't be trusted, neither were the benevolent mothers of the Great Ming Zun sect any better to deal with.

Demons danced wildly.

The enchantresses all gathered.

If Miss Sun hadn't watched Duncan step by step reach where he was today, breaking through to the Dao Entrance Realm on a child's promise, reshaping the entire Southern Han and restoring peace to the land, allowing people to live and work in peace, she might have thought, judging by the demonic crowd around him, that he was an unrevealed evil emperor of the Demon Sect.

Alas.

Demonesses and enchantresses are still human, and as humans, they can be utilized; using them effectively is what matters.

No matter how many demons surrounded Duncan, combined they couldn't surpass a single finger of him being more demonic. What does the Ming Sect count as, and the six branches of the Demon Sect? Under him, this Great Demon Lord, these demons serve as tools for the dirty and troublesome tasks that righteous sects neither want nor find convenient to do.

Now Duncan controls the entire Southern Han situation, but should some dirty and tiring tasks be left to the medical sects of Medicine King Valley and Hundred Flowers Valley? You just focus on healing and saving lives.

All who used the Demon Sect people praised them, not only for being effective in doing tasks but also for effectively taking the blame.

"What's this?" Duncan asked, looking at the pillbox handed to him.

Miss Sun's expression remained unchanged, but with a slight blush, she calmly said, "Pills to replenish qi and essence, you'll find them useful."

I don't think I really need this.

But after all, it was her heartfelt gesture. Duncan reached out to take it, realizing the things he had been doing recently must have spread, even Miss Sun knew he'd taken in many demonesses.

Probably, before long, rumors of Duncan indulging in beauty and claiming the palace ladies of Liu Chang will reach the hands of the Daoist sects.

The secrets of the harem aren't so easily spread out.

Though Lu Qiongxi is a fence-sitter, she's reliable in her work. Under her control, any news going out of the palace is only what Duncan wants others to know.

By now, the Southern Han's military has been reduced by half, and with Duncan indulging himself in beauty, appearing to enjoy the luxuries of the world while recuperating, it's likely a relief to many people's hearts.

To this day, Duncan has yet to attend court even once.

There's a selection of talents in charge of court affairs. If they can't manage even such a small place, that group of people are useless, no match for the governors of the empire's provinces. Either replace them or have their heads moved, as Duncan only concerns himself with grand strategies. There are plenty willing to step in if needed. (Note: The Roman Empire's provincial governors wielded more power than typical kings.)

"Chan Daoist has been brought." Miss Sun said before leaving.

Duncan nodded slightly, saying satisfactorily, "Let him meet Li Fengji; coincidentally, he is quite familiar with Nanzhang and Jiaozhi areas."

Shortly after Miss Sun left, Lu Qiongxi's charming figure appeared, evidently after careful dress; behind her were the tearful Concubine Li and Beauty Li. Having pleaded for several days, they finally managed to have Lu Qiongxi arrange this meeting. If deprived of favor, their days in the palace would grow progressively harder.

"Your Majesty."
