I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

Hundred Households Zhou couldn't help but exclaim, standing up.

But in the next moment, he noticed something unusual.

Life had nearly ceased just now, teetering on the brink.

But now there was flesh strength, and the injuries were gradually recovering.

He was stunned for a moment, his gaze involuntarily fell upon the stewed meat in the bowl.

"That is the flesh and blood of the Elephant Ancestor, an ancient evil that has slept through the ages, at least a worldly peak powerhouse breaking through the Nine Heavens!"

Little White Ape glanced at him, saying, "A bowl of meat is enough to stabilize your injuries, yet you spilled half the bowl..."

Without another word, Hundred Households Zhou lay on the ground, frantically stuffing the dusty and sand-laden stewed meat into his mouth.

"It seems our luck is unfortunate, unexpectedly encountering a Saint Master who was crowned on three lists simultaneously."

The man wielding the gun closed his eyes slightly, saying, "Do it... kill me outside, don't destroy the Pure Land."

"You'd rather die than preserve Marquis Wangxi?"

Lin Yan said indifferently, "Is this the only way for stability in the Human Clan?"

The man wielding the gun slightly raised his head, saying, "Preserving Marquis Wangxi is to protect a Human Martial Saint; I don't consider it an unforgivable crime! But earlier, we intended to kill the Saint Master to silence him..."

Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth; he smiled self-deprecatingly, "Attempting to kill the Saint Master and cut off the New Technique inheritance is an unpardonable sin!"

"You took poison?"

Lin Yan's heart sank slightly.

And as he turned his head to look, he saw that the other three men wielding knives also had dark expressions.

They were evidently Death Warriors!

Before chasing Hundred Households Zhou, they had already concealed poison within. Once an accident occurred, a slight movement of mana would spread the poison throughout their bodies, irreversibly!

Lin Yan's expression was complex, and he slowly released his hand.

The man wielding the gun fell to the ground.

He let go of the long gun, gasping, "What we have done is all for the stability of the Human Clan; the greater good is paramount!"

Upon finishing speaking, he struggled to get up, stumbling toward the outside of the Pure Land.

The three men wielding knives glanced at each other, bowed to Lin Yan, and said, "Saint Master, I offended today; please forgive us!"

Upon finishing speaking, all three followed the man with the gun, leaving the Pure Land and stepping into the Deceit Night, not yet dawn.

"Master?"

Little White Ape said softly, "Just let them go like this? They were trying to kill us just now?"

"The poison they took is extraordinary, invading their entire body instantly, almost irretrievably... At least I can't save them."

Lin Yan said calmly, "As soon as they leave the Pure Land, they will immediately die..."

Pausing, Lin Yan looked at the darkness outside the Pure Land and sighed, "Already dead."

"..."

Little White Ape was stunned for a moment and whispered, "I was implying, don't you intend to exchange them for Evil Qi? Though it may not amount to much..."

"A little Evil Qi, let's consider it giving them some dignity, at least in their own hearts, everything they did was for the Human Clan."

Lin Yan sheathed his knife, his expression complex, and said, "Since starting from High Willow City, traveling until now, I have seen many people; among them are good people, evil people, and those driven by self-interest... but never seen people like them..."

These people somewhat resemble the Night Watchers of the Observatory.

However, compared to the Night Watchers, these people are evidently more extreme.

For a so-called belief, without discerning right from wrong, without distinguishing good from evil, without judging right or wrong, by any means necessary!

"Rather than calling them evil, it's better to say they are pitiful people who took the wrong path."

Lin Yan withdrew his gaze and said, "We still have the testimony, let them go."

He slowly turned, looking at Hundred Households Zhou, who had already finished eating the stewed meat and was now kneeling on the ground.

"Greeting Saint Master!"

Hundred Households Zhou touched his forehead to the ground respectfully, "Unaware the Saint Master was here, inadvertently attracting trouble; I plead for the Saint Master's forgiveness!"

Lin Yan's expression was as usual and asked, "Do you still have the evidence of Marquis Wangxi's crimes?"

Hundred Households Zhou nodded quickly, replying, "In Xi Yun Prefecture! I'm aware of the immense danger of traveling to Heavenly Destiny City, so I dared not carry the evidence with me..."

Little White Ape asked, "Then after you reached Heavenly Destiny City, how would you prove Marquis Wangxi's act of Blood Sacrifice?"

Hundred Households Zhou hesitated for a moment before saying, "When our Qingyun Prefecture's Commander was assassinated, he wasn't killed on the spot, but escaped using escape techniques... However, his injuries were too severe, and he couldn't last half a night before dying."

"He left behind a blood letter, stating clearly that the Xi Yun Prefecture's Demon Suppression Department's Commander and strongmen from Marquis Wangxi's residence laid a trap to harm him."

"With this blood letter, it's enough for Heavenly Destiny City to investigate this case thoroughly, and by then the evidence will certainly be revealed."

He said in a low voice, "Even if Zhou is killed on the way, as long as someone reports this to the Holy Alliance, the truth about the blood debts of hundreds of thousands of people from three cities will be revealed one day..."

Lin Yan was silent for a moment, then immediately asked, "Why do you trust that the top of the Holy Alliance will certainly investigate this case thoroughly? After all, in your eyes, the most trustworthy Guardian Righteous Dao Sect also chose to protect Marquis Wangxi!"

"Regardless of the power behind Marquis Wangxi or the Guardian Righteous Dao Sect, they do not represent the Holy Alliance!"

Hundred Households Zhou said sternly, "Though they are at the top of the Holy Alliance, they don't encompass all of the Holy Alliance's high-level members! Our current Human Clan leader and the present Master of the Holy Alliance have always been impartial and upright characters! Under his governance, the majority of today's high-level Human Clan powerhouses are those with a heart for justice..."

Little White Ape couldn't help but ask, "Despite everything that's happened, do you still hold hope for the top of the Holy Alliance?"

Hundred Households Zhou nodded slightly, saying, "Marquis Wangxi and his allies are outrageously evil, yet they still dare not publicize the massacre in the open! Because they cannot stand in the light... More of the high-level of the Holy Alliance truly stand in the light, with unyielding integrity!"

"As the Saint Master just spoke, I have grown from insignificance to today, training from weakness to my current level, walking through... there are high-level Human Clan members sheltering us!"

"I won't lose faith in the entire Holy Alliance, or even all the Human Clan, because of one Marquis Wangxi or one Guardian Righteous Dao Sect!"

He looked at Lin Yan and said sternly, "Because... I am also a part of the Holy Alliance! For many Human Clan civilians, for many ordinary Martial Artists, I, as a Hundred Households of the Demon Suppression Department, already count as a high-level member of the Holy Alliance in their eyes! There are some corrupt Hundred Households in the Demon Suppression Department, but I'm not one of them..."

Little White Ape had a peculiar glint in his eyes, saying, "So you believe that despite some fallen members among the Holy Alliance's top, more high-level members will stand by your side?"

Hundred Households Zhou nodded, saying, "Absolutely will!"

Lin Yan took a deep look at him and said, "You're not exactly a smart person."

Hundred Households Zhou bowed his head slightly, daring not to respond.

Lin Yan said softly, "But you count as a pure person."

Upon hearing this, Hundred Households Zhou couldn't help but raise his head, a hint of excitement in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Saint Master..."

"There's no need to get so excited over a compliment."

Lin Yan stood with his hands behind his back and said, "You were right about one thing; they don't represent all the Human Clan, nor do they represent all of the Holy Alliance's high-level... At the very least, they don't represent me!"

Upon finishing speaking, Lin Yan walked out, saying, "Dawn is approaching; go and fetch the evidence... I am also a part of the Human Clan, and more so, the future of the Holy Alliance's top."

His steps paused slightly, and he said solemnly, "I stand by your side!"

Hundred Households Zhou shuddered, remaining motionless for a long time.

"What are you doing?"

The Little White Ape ahead turned around, raised an arm, and shouted, "Let's go!"

In the glowing rays of the rising sun, the figure of the man and the ape seemed to be full of radiance.

Hundred Households Zhou came to his senses, hurriedly picking up the saber on the ground.

But before sheathing the saber, he noticed a drop of water suddenly fell on the blade, splattering.

He paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, wiping away the tear streaks from the corner of his eyes, and followed the footsteps of the Saint Master, heading out of the Pure Land.
