I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

"Since you've chosen to hide your traces, why did you decide to step forward?"

"What is the true intention of this move by the Saint Master?"

The Young Venerable couldn't help but ponder, "Now all the forces in Heavenly Destiny City will be watching him closely!"

——

And the various forces in Heavenly Destiny City were in heated discussion as well.

"This move by the Saint Master is truly unexpected."

"He is telling the various forces of the Holy Alliance that he can easily break free from their control, and can sneak into Heavenly Destiny City without anyone noticing!"

"He entered Heavenly Destiny City and has already slain members of the Song Family; he is setting rules for everyone!"

"Daring to claim publicly that even if the Supreme Elder breaks the law, he will punish them?"

"This is no less than a declaration of war!"

"Even the Alliance Hierarch in his youth wasn't this arrogant."

"No wonder he's known as the Killing Star; even with the wise name of the Saint Master, he can't suppress his true nature!"

"Even those elders from the Guardian Righteous Dao Sect, who pride themselves as purists and uphold righteousness, might not dare to fully support him when faced with such a Killing Star."

——

"The three Heavenly Venerates, indeed their methods are unfathomable. With just a few rumors outside the Saint Master's reputation, they've achieved such results!"

Though they are Celestial beings, they're not transformed by Physical Body Evil, but are pure members of the Human Clan.

They are the Upper People of the Human Clan!

No treasure can reveal any abnormality in them!

They are present in every industry and every level in Heavenly Destiny City.

Some occupy high positions; others hide among the common folk.

The news they've spread recently is nothing but the claim that the Saint Master is too young, and despite his skills being great, they are ultimately limited.

Even if practicing since the womb, he has only cultivated for about twenty years till now, and though he may stand out among his peers, it's not enough to touch the Immortal God!

In today's battles, the Saint Master is renowned, yet it's all because he follows the Lord of Heaven, and how much effort he actually contributed, nobody knows… but the Alliance Hierarch attributed all achievements to him.

Now even the strong ones emerging from the Upper Heaven might already harbor dissatisfaction towards the Saint Master.

In the final rumors they spread, there's one more message!

The Saint Master is hunted by Old Gods and Evil, and the South Mountain Sacred Land is unable to protect him… if the Saint Master continues to stay in the South Mountain Sacred Land, it spells disaster for the Human Clan south of Taixuan Divine Mountain!

Therefore, he didn't come by invitation to become the Holy Alliance's honored guest!

He came seeking refuge from calamity!

His rising fame regarded as that of a noble, instead of a refugee… is due to the Holy Alliance's upper echelon, valuing his creation of a New Technique, recognizing his title as Master of All Generations, but not because of his earth-shattering combat power!

These many rumors, mixing truths and falsehoods, supplemented with dubious evidence.

Although they have somewhat shaken many people's faith in the Saint Master, they did not expect the result to be this significant!

The Saint Master arrived in Heavenly Destiny City and slew Song Family's prodigy… which has become a battle challenge to the young generation of Heavenly Destiny City!

And in the unseen, he has offended the ancient powers backing these prodigies!

"Until today, this old man couldn't have imagined that just these few simple measures would let the situation develop to this point." An elder stroked his beard, showing a look of amazement, "The scheming of the three Heavenly Venerates is indeed unpredictable…"

A middle-aged man said flatly, "The young prodigies hold themselves in high regard, young and reckless, full of pride, refusing to yield easily."

"They might acknowledge a prodigy superior to themselves!"

"But they would never accept someone younger than themselves standing alongside or even overshadowing their family ancestor!"

"Once rumors are spread, it inevitably causes most young prodigies to feel doubt, even to believe the rumors are true!"

"Thus, recently, those in Heavenly Destiny City with lingering pride all wish to unmask the Saint Master, to let this 'famous but unworthy' Saint Master fall from grace, thereby enhancing their own reputation."

Saying this, the middle-aged man sneered, "But they did not expect that beneath the Saint Master's mask isn't a weak scholar… but a madman fiercer than the 'Impermanence Mask'!"

Another person, dressed in a long cyan robe and holding a folded fan, spoke calmly, "The Song Family has prospered lately, aligning with a Supreme Elder, hence the Song Family has grown somewhat arrogant, and Song Fei is the most arrogant among them."

"We supposed that when the Saint Master entered Heavenly Destiny City, he would naturally understand the hostility of the young generation towards him, leading to conflict."

"But we didn't expect this day to come so swiftly, nor did we expect that unfortunate Song Family member to be so brazen before the Saint Master."

"Yet, as the three Heavenly Venerates predicted, the Saint Master, young and full of vigor, arrogant and proud, heavily inclined towards killing, indeed lacking restraint, thus wielded his blade against the Holy Alliance's young prodigies."

"The entirety of the Holy Alliance will witness the Saint Master's thunderous tactics, his murderous heart… even the proud and aloof Guardian Righteous Dao Sect will hesitate, much less all other factions?"

The man in the cyan robe closed his fan with a smile, "After this incident, among the various factions of the Holy Alliance, perhaps nine out of ten won't advocate for the Saint Master to ascend to the position of Alliance Hierarch!"

"Small measures have broken his prospects, the three Heavenly Venerates indeed have extraordinary methods!"

"Alright, the hour is upon us, today's turn, I'm in charge at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, mustn't be late."

He tapped his folded fan, saying, "Tonight will be quite lively, act accordingly…"

——

Guardian Righteous Dao Sect.

"Has it escalated too much?"

Several elders fell silent, their gaze turning to the white-browed old Taoist at one side.
