I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

Inside the tavern, Lin Yan looked up at the man in luxurious clothing.

He had just seen this person.

To perform with True Qi on the street for a Qi Refining Realm Martial Artist, it was this man upstairs who threw down a bottle of Strengthening Qi Pill as a reward.

His attire was extravagant, his gestures generous.

Every move he made exuded a natural arrogance.

It went without saying that this person must be a young master from some prominent family in the city or the descendant of some powerful figure.

"It seems that in Heavenly Destiny City, the younger generation from various factions is somewhat dissatisfied with the Saint Master."

In the tavern, many from all sides of the Holy Alliance vaguely understood something in their hearts.

Anyone who could come from afar to Heavenly Destiny City was not an ordinary person.

Either they hailed from distinguished backgrounds, escorted by guards all the way here,

Or they possessed decent cultivation and sufficient worldly experience, allowing them to cross mountains and seas to reach Heavenly Destiny City.

Except for the relatively innocent and carefree young ones out for training, many present could roughly judge from this person the attitude of the young prodigies of Heavenly Destiny City towards the current Saint Master.

"The Saint Master's achievements are peerless, the future limitless; how can you belittle him at will?"

At this moment, a young girl sitting in the hall slammed the table and yelled, "The creation of the New Technique benefits thousands of generations, the Saint Master's merits are eternal! He rises in all three rankings, slayed the Great Saint of Beishan, broke Heavenly Destiny City, quelled the turmoil of Ku Rong, suppressed the change of Shangri… Even in today's Supreme Pavilion, which Supreme Elder's achievements are more brilliant than his?"

"You..."

The man in luxurious clothing suddenly showed an angry expression.

The two attendants beside him were about to leap down from the second floor and seize the girl.

"Who has seen the Saint Master personally take action?"

At this moment, laughter came from another nearby room, saying, "If he truly had such skills, I would be willing to hold the reins and ride under him, following him closely! But unfortunately, all these things are hearsay; no one has ever seen him really take action..."

"According to intelligence from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, many of the Saint Master's achievements followed the natural order. Initially, the Heavenly Furnace Saint Master and the Supreme Elder fiercely fought against the Great Saint of Beishan, and only when they were on the brink of death did the Saint Master deliver the final blow to slay the demon!"

"Afterwards, the incidents in Heavenly Destiny City, the turmoil of Ku Rong, and Shangri Sacred Land were all led by the Lord of Heaven, with him merely following orders."

"Three years ago, I led five thousand cavalry to conquer the Dogs' King Ridge, exterminating its clan."

"If that's the case, could each of my cavalry underlings claim the achievements at Dogs' King Ridge as their own?"

"What the Human Clan needs are truly strong individuals, not those who are famed but inferior in skills."

"If he truly has the ability, I will honor him as my master!"

"If he lacks the skills to match his fame... I won't make things difficult for him, just let him be a meritorious idle man."

The voice in the room taunted, "But if he is glamorous on the outside, but empty within, and this embroidered pillow dares to claim high ranking positions within the Holy Alliance, it would be delusional!"

"General Xu!"

The young man in luxurious clothing recognized the source of the voice and revealed a joyful expression, saying, "You have returned as well?"

"Xu Shaoye!"

"The most outstanding prodigy of his generation in the Xu family, and the youngest general under the Ministry of War, with cultivation at the Peak of Refining God Realm, commanding fifty thousand elite soldiers, all veterans."

"He once led an army to slay two Demon Kings, earning remarkable feats!"

"Only thirty-eight years old, he was ranked fourth on the previously circulated Heroic List."

"Wait a minute, the Saint Master rose to all three rankings, and topping both the Human and Earth lists, Xu Shaoye should have originally been third."

"It's heard that three months ago, he led troops to clear a large area of evil three thousand miles away, securing a Blessed Land for the Human Clan!"

"His achievements originally qualified him to succeed as the Lord of Blessed Land, but with boundless prospects ahead, achieving the Inner Realm Divine Domain, it is by no means a difficult feat, and becoming a Human Martial Saint is not impossible to expect."

"Did he also return to Heavenly Destiny City for the grand event of Supreme Pavilion's conferment?"

The crowd was abuzz with discussions and numerous exclamations.

Indeed, Heavenly Destiny City was full of hidden talents, and just by resting in a tavern, one could encounter a top figure on the Heroic List, renowned throughout the world.

"Song Fei, after all these years, you still haven't made much progress."

At this moment, another voice came out, saying, "Having not yet entered the Refining God Realm, handling some trivial affairs in the Inner City, yet you are not seen patrolling the city defenses, spending days indulging in pleasure... your monthly salary is not even worth the rewards you casually throw at others."

"How accomplished are you, at the age of forty-five, just entering Refining God; you don't even compare to a hair of the Saint Master."

The young man in luxurious clothing sneered, then focused his gaze on the girl in the hall who just retorted against him, calmly saying, "Forget it, although you spoke out of turn, it's not a capital offense; I'm not some worthless playboy, I'll let you go!"

The girl was furious and was about to speak again.

But was stopped by the young man accompanying her.

The young man cupped his hands and said, "We are from Qingyang Sacred Land, residents of Flame Spirit Prefecture City, new here to broaden our horizons. If my junior sister has offended in any way, I hope you all can forgive us!"

"Forgive what? What offense?"

The girl said angrily, "Even if the Saint Master had no achievements in the Holy Alliance, just for creating the New Technique, it's a merit eternal… Can they belittle it?"

"Ungrateful!"

The man named Song Fei sneered and waved his hand casually.

True Qi suddenly erupted, transforming into a line, rushing straight at the girl.

The young man beside the girl suddenly changed his expression, unsheathing his sword, swinging it forward.
