I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

The Supreme Elder of the Guardian Righteous Dao Sect coldly laughed: "In the South Mountain Sacred Land, he was once hailed as a Killing Star... don't mistake the title of 'Saint Master' to mean he is a mild-mannered scholar who only teaches and educates!"

"He is a peerless powerhouse with a tremendous killing nature!"

"According to current intelligence, if we want to use him as bait, he must be allowed to kill to his heart's content."

"If you wish to suppress his killing intent, beware of his backlash!"

"Based on the current intelligence, the combat power of the Saint Master is such that, within our Supreme Pavilion, there are no more than two hands' worth who could match him in battle... and only one hand's worth who could firmly suppress him!"

"I know, all of you suspect that the Saint Master is too young, his foundation not necessarily deep, and ever since he joined the Holy Alliance, his various battle achievements were influenced by the work of the Alliance Hierarch and the Lord of Heaven, rather than achieved alone, so you doubt that his abilities are that high."

"But he is ultimately the strongest of the younger generation, not yet a Human Martial Saint but already ranked thirteen on the Heavenly List! He is at the top of both the Earthly List and the Mortal List!"

"In the future, when he becomes a Human Martial Saint, with supreme combat power, he will surely stand above all others."

This Supreme Elder of the Guardian Righteous Dao Sect glanced in all directions, speaking in a deep voice: "Even if you are stronger than him today, do any of you truly dare to offend him? Even if he cannot become the Master of our Holy Alliance today, who else could contend with him for the position in the next generation?"

"Unless you wish to kill a Saint Master who is my Human Clan's boundless future, to sever the eternal inheritance of the New Technique, and extinguish the light in countless Humans' hearts..."

"..."

The venue fell silent.

Among those present, there were perhaps those who wished to eliminate the Saint Master.

But none dared to speak such intentions openly.

Possessing Great Luck, the Saint Master, current first among talents, future supreme existence, is touted as the hope of the Human Clan!

Who among humans would dare kill him?

Even if there were those with ill intentions, they would only dare to plot in their hearts.

If anyone were to express a desire to eliminate the Saint Master here, there would be no need for word to spread... The Supreme Pavilion, responsible for the highest decisions of the Human Clan, would rise and take action, expelling the offender on the spot.

"While the Alliance Hierarch is in place, we, as the Supreme Pavilion, can offer advice and plans, but the Saint Master is not the Alliance Hierarch, and his actions are beyond our control."

The Chief Supreme Elder slowly spoke: "Let him be... by the time calculated, he should soon reach Heavenly Destiny City. Then, I shall personally welcome him."

"Saint Master..."

At that moment, a figure who appeared youthful with frost-white at the temples spoke: "We have already lost track of the Saint Master."

"What?"

The various Supreme Elders were taken aback.

"The Saint Master intentionally concealed his Qi Mechanism and did not arrive at the scheduled city. The local Great City Guard had been preparing a banquet for days, yet the Saint Master has yet to arrive."

This young man with white temples stated calmly: "The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion dared not measure directly one with Great Luck, only saying that there were no celestial phenomena, and the Great Luck of the Human Clan remains, thus the Saint Master is safe!"

"How did we lose track of the Saint Master?"

An elder asked in a deep voice: "I have long stated, to have Prince Zhen Nan escort the Saint Master with the elite of the Demon Suppression Department to Heavenly Destiny City, but the Saint Master insisted on appreciating the sights of the Holy Alliance on his own... now that we've lost track, should anything unforeseen arise, what then?"

"The Saint Master decided to tour the lands, refusing our Holy Alliance escort, and none could deter him."

The Chief Supreme Elder sighed and said: "The Saint Master clearly intends to avoid our Holy Alliance's arrangements, wishing to journey independently, so let him be then..."

He said thus, then continued: "Send a message to the Demon Suppression Department, to pay more attention within three thousand miles of Heavenly Destiny City. Once there's news of the Saint Master, report immediately, so we can prepare to welcome the Saint Master."

"During the upcoming days, let us first prepare for the conferment ceremony of the new Supreme Elder."

"This grand event every thirty years must be spectacular, even if the Alliance Hierarch is absent."

"Those observing this ceremony are not only influential forces of the Human Clan."

"Powerful demons, ancient entities, self-proclaimed Tribulation Ash Gods, and hidden Celestials are all watching this event with keen eyes."

"If the scene displayed by our Human Clan isn't mighty and magnificent enough, they may perceive us as weak, leading to further probing and unnecessary troubles and chaos."

"The conferment grand ceremony of the Supreme Elder every thirty years is also our Human Clan's implicit deterrent to various powerful demons, preventing their invasion of the Holy Alliance!"

Thus spoke the Chief Supreme Elder, waving a hand: "For matters of the ceremony, each Supreme Elder's disciples are to appoint twelve Archivists to organize everything."

"Culinary affairs are to be managed by my disciples, with the Alchemy Pavilion and Artifact Refining Pavilion assisting."

"The Ministry of War will mobilize their elite forces to oversee patrols outside Heavenly Destiny City."

"The Demon Suppression Department is to maintain order within the city."

"For all other miscellaneous issues, the Young Venerable and his retinue shall handle them."

"Once arrangements here are in place, report any events occurring within the Holy Alliance's jurisdiction, where you hold governance, that might be of note..."

At this point, two young individuals stepped out from behind the Chief Supreme Elder, each with a pen in hand, to record matters from across the Holy Alliance.

The jurisdiction of the Holy Alliance is vast, with over a hundred Holy Lands spread across ten directions.

And the distances between Holy Lands vary, with many Forbidden Lands existing as well.

Various turmoil is not lacking.

Incidentally, in Qingyun Prefecture, the Commander of the Demon Suppression Department was assassinated by a subordinate 'Hundred Households'. Now, the Commander in Xi Yun Prefecture temporarily assumes dual high positions... this matter seems minor amid the major events.

"Have the Demon Suppression Department promptly decide on a candidate for the Commander of Qingyun Prefecture, to be submitted to the Supreme Pavilion for approval!"

The Chief Supreme Elder stated calmly: "Apprehend the assassin of the Qingyun Prefecture Commander immediately, let the Main Hall of the Demon Suppression Department handle the investigation thoroughly..."

With these words, he set aside the document, glancing to another side with a serious expression.

In the northeast corner of the Holy Alliance, between two Holy Lands, two thousand miles apart.

The astronomical phenomena changed last night, within a thousand miles, all evil spirits were expelled, and all demons were annihilated.

A powerful existence devoured other evil in the Deceit Night, triggering celestial phenomena.

A new Sanctum Ascended spirit was born amidst the Deceit Night!

The gaze of the Chief Supreme Elder grew more serious!

"I remember this Holy Spirit showed its hint five years ago; how did it still manage to step into the Saint Realm?"

"This Holy Spirit hid extraordinarily well; three years ago, a siege attempt failed." The young man with white at his temples said gravely: "Two years ago, a demon sent a message, promising it would protect the Human Clan in exchange for incense..."

"So, this Holy Spirit wishes to protect the Human Clan?" the Chief Supreme Elder asked gravely.

"No, that was an imposter who captured another aberrant spirit surpassing its tier, signing a Taoist contract with the Human Clan." The young man with white temples said helplessly: "Last night, that spirit that signed the Taoist contract was also devoured..."

"What about this Holy Spirit?" the Chief Supreme Elder asked gravely.

"It breached a large-scale Pure Land, consumed all thirty thousand people within, and fled eastward." The young man sighed.

"Having just become a Holy Spirit, if it lacks an Old God's Magical Object, it should only be able to break through the First Heaven, at most through the Second and Third Heavens." The Chief Supreme Elder stated: "A Sanctum Ascended evil spirit is in a frenzied growth period these recent years, and it cannot be allowed to continue growing, or it will ultimately become a major threat! Have two nearby Saint Masters intervene... which Supreme Elder nearest to it, immediately go and slay it!"

"I'm afraid it's too late!" the young man said: "Based on current intelligence, a stronger Holy Spirit is receiving it; it seems it has already allied with a formidable ancient Holy Spirit!"

"Damn!"

The Chief Supreme Elder looked grim, glancing at another Supreme Elder: "What's going on in your jurisdiction?"

——

After a series of discussions.

The meeting of the Supreme Pavilion dispersed.

In a tavern within Heavenly Destiny City.

"The area where the Saint Master disappeared seems off..."

"What's wrong?"

"It's related to Xi Yun Prefecture!"

"The last trace of the Saint Master was within ten thousand miles of Heavenly Destiny City, what does Xi Yun Prefecture have to do with it?"

"Coincidentally, that 'Hundred Households' from the Demon Suppression Department fled to that vicinity, and four people from the Guardian Righteous Dao Sect also disappeared there!"

"What?"

"I'm concerned that by bad luck, the Saint Master might have stumbled upon this matter and learned of the Marquis Wangxi affair!"
