I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

The two white eyebrows of the old Taoist twitched slightly, and he spoke in a muffled voice: "My original intention was to suppress the reputation of the Saint Master, so that the younger generation would dare to challenge him... Using the Saint Master as a whetstone to hone these young prodigies, who have their eyes set too high, to prevent them from becoming arrogant in the future and eventually stepping into the Heavenly Gate!"

"Using the Saint Master as a whetstone, a knife has already been broken." Another elder sighed and said, "I have said his killing nature is strong... At the time you proposed to suppress the Saint Master's reputation, I disagreed."

Everyone thought that when the Saint Master arrived, he would defeat the young prodigies!

But no one expected that the Saint Master would directly kill people!

"We underestimated his murderous nature." An elder in a pale yellow robe sighed and said, "I do not approve of the Saint Master becoming the Alliance Hierarch, nor will I agree to him entering the Supreme Pavilion!"

"No!"

The white-browed old Taoist slightly shook his head and said in a deep voice: "What we underestimated was the 'justice' in his heart!"

He swept his gaze over everyone and said in a deep voice: "You all seem to forget, the Saint Master killed Song Fei not because someone insulted him, but because Song Fei was derelict in duty, causing loss of life, and behaving recklessly!"

"Still, our greatest doubt now is whether the Saint Master possesses the skill to overpower everything!"

"He used this method to establish power over the entire Heavenly Destiny City, and I am sure the other fellow Taoists in the Supreme Pavilion are already preparing to cut down his authority!"

"In Heavenly Destiny City, as long as the upper echelons of the Human Clan can't cut down his authority, they will be suppressed by him!"

"Although there was a bit of an incident, I believe the plan is still on the right track, going in the direction we anticipated!"

The white-browed old Taoist said this, looking at the leading elder, and said in a deep voice: "What does Dao Venerate think?"

"The Saint Master cannot die!"

The leading elder, who was the current Dao Venerate of the Guardian Righteous Dao Sect, drank a cup of tea and said: "No matter how big the commotion, he must live! As for the rest, let nature take its course... Since the Saint Master chose this path, wanting to become the blade hanging over Heavenly Destiny City, let him go for it!"

——

Demon Suppression Department.

Hundred Households Zhou looked at the Main Hall of the Demon Suppression Department with indescribable excitement.

Back in the day, he trained at the Main Hall of the Demon Suppression Department, seeing this place as the most sacred in his heart.

He thought he would hardly have another chance to come to the Main Hall in this lifetime, but today, visiting this place again, his eyes burned with passion.

"Stop looking, it's too safe here, we should find another place to stay."

Lin Yan turned his head slightly and said slowly: "If someone tries to assassinate you tonight, I will ensure your safety."

"Assassinate me?"

Hundred Households Zhou was taken aback.

Logically, wouldn't they be assassinating the Saint Master?

"In Heavenly Destiny City, it consists of the upper echelons of the Holy Alliance, but not all are power-grabbing characters, daring to openly kill me..."

Lin Yan slowly said: "Will become a public enemy of the Holy Alliance! So, I won't die in Heavenly Destiny City!"

He looked at Hundred Households Zhou and said: "But Marquis Wangxi and those behind him, dare not kill me, but they may very well kill you! Alright, hand over your Demon Suppression Department Hundred Households token..."

Thousand Households Li Cun, with a complex expression, lowered his head slightly.

"Don't think I'm really a brute and can't see it, Song Fei was sent by the Demon Suppression Department to die under my blade."

Lin Yan turned his head, looking at Li Cun, and said: "With that Hundred Households token, my whereabouts, seemingly hidden from the upper echelons of the Holy Alliance but never from the Demon Suppression Department! Upon entering Heavenly Destiny City, even if I don't make a move, you wouldn't allow me to continue hiding, right?"

Li Cun remained silent for a moment and said softly: "My late father served the Alliance Hierarch, and he assigned me to the Demon Suppression Department, all actions, listening to the Hierarch's instructions..."

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow and said: "So, in the end, it's all the Hierarch's intention?"

"Unless the Saint Master's ancestors are among the upper echelons of the Holy Alliance, otherwise, an ordinary person, no matter how renowned, won't receive everyone's support to ascend to the leadership position."

Li Cun said softly: "The only one who has become the leader of the Holy Alliance by relying on himself, without a family's sect backing, ever since the founding of the Holy Alliance, is the current Alliance Hierarch!"

"He held a sword, killing all the way!"

"Whether the Saint Master wants to become the leader of the Holy Alliance or the sword hanging over the Holy Alliance, he must exhibit sufficient sharpness!"

"The world has a sense of awe towards the current Alliance Hierarch."

"The Saint Master now only has the 'respect', lacking the 'fear'!"

He paused and said: "With the Supreme Commander of the Main Hall of the Demon Suppression Department not here, the Saint Master serves as the Inspection Envoy with supreme authority! The Saint Master can go ahead and do whatever, cut flesh and let the poison flow, to make the Holy Alliance healthy..."
