I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

Though with the escort of these two, the journey was much more secure.

But having two unfamiliar, powerful figures with the caravan, he did not dare to be presumptuous and was extremely cautious in his every action and speech.

Only now did he slightly relax, walking forward towards the steward in the field, and whispered: "Second Master, our caravan suffered significant losses this time, luckily with the help of these two masters... Could you check their entry records into the city? I suppose they're not ordinary individuals."

"Do you value it that much?"

The steward of the Wang Family showed an unusual expression.

"I suspect that elderly man might be one of the Holy Alliance's Elders."

The leader of the Red Flame Trading Company whispered, "If so..."

Hearing this, the steward's face showed a look of surprise, and he quickly nodded.

Holy Alliance Elder!

This is an entity on the same level as our ancestor!

If we can befriend an Elder, it would invisibly elevate the status of our Wang Family's ancestor within the Holy Alliance.

In the future, the appointments of positions across various departments of the Holy Alliance would require nomination by the Holy Alliance Elders and approval by the Supreme Pavilion.

Having the support of one more Holy Alliance Elder would be immensely beneficial!

Moreover, under each Great Elder's name, there are usually other industries, and knowing each other might provide opportunities for mutual trade.

"Make sure to host them warmly!"

The steward said in a deep voice, "If he truly is a Holy Alliance Elder, and can be drawn to ally with our Wang Family, it would be a meritorious deed!"

Inside the inn.

A young man referred to as Xiao Zhou was about to lead Lin Yan and Zhou Hundred Households up to the upstairs room.

But Lin Yan just slightly waved his hand and said: "No need, just the table by the window."

The inn was quite bustling, with plenty of guests.

Zhou Hundred Households glanced around and in a low voice said: "There should be many who are from outside the city."

"The Holy Alliance's once-in-thirty-years grand conferring ceremony has attracted quite a few from the Human Clan."

"There must also be many acting as outside scouts."

After a pause, Zhou Hundred Households lightly said: "Here, it's a mixture of fish and dragons, why don't we first go to the Demon Suppression Department's Main Hall?"

"No rush."

Lin Yan said calmly: "Amidst the hubbub, with people coming from all directions and various professions, you can learn about the current trend of events from them..."

The two sat down by the window, listening to the discussions from all sides.

The most talked-about topics were the preparation for the ceremony, and the few Human Martial Saints who are about to succeed as Supreme Elders.

"I wonder if this time, the Saint Master will also be conferred as a Supreme Elder?"

"I heard that the Saint Master, not yet thirty years old, has already joined the ranks of the most powerful in the current era."

"The Saint Master created a New Technique, opening up an eternal path, his merits to our Human Clan are as vast as the heavens, his promotion to Supreme Elder is only deserving."

"If so, the Saint Master would be the youngest Supreme Elder in the history of our Holy Alliance."

"I came all the way from Fire Cloud Prefecture just to catch a glimpse of the rumored Saint Master."

"Saint Master?"

Just then, from a room upstairs came a mocking voice saying: "Anyone who has practiced martial arts and attained success... Who could believe that a young man of just over twenty possesses the supreme cultivation of this era?"

"Do you really think the so-called Saint Master was invited by our Holy Alliance to become a Supreme Elder?"

"He was targeted by various evils in the south of Taixuan Divine Mountain, abandoned by the gods... Such a remote South Mountain Sacred Land couldn't protect him, so he came to our Holy Alliance seeking refuge."

"To put it bluntly, he's like a stray dog, hanging by a thread, pleading for our Holy Alliance to shield him."

"Considering his New Technique, and being of the same Human Clan, it's already a great benevolence that our Holy Alliance's high-ups are willing to offer him protection, he truly thinks he could hold a high position?"

"To become a Supreme Elder of our Holy Alliance, he would need to cultivate for another hundred years, maybe then barely qualify!"

The room's door was pushed open, and a luxuriously dressed young man holding a wine flask leaned against the railing, looking down.

He looked down from above, his brows full of arrogance, watching the patrons in the inn below, showing his disdain without concealing it.
