I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

The atmosphere in the arena fell silent.

After a moment, Mr. Ling sighed and said, "Saint Master, the great trend is inevitable."

"What is the great trend?"

"The direction of the people's hearts, that is the great trend!"

"Two million unjust souls, two million life and death grudges, are those not a great trend?"

"The entire leadership of the Holy Alliance represents the attitude of the entire Holy Alliance. Today... I have come to see the Saint Master, and no one has stopped me!"

Mr. Ling sighed and said, "They know why I have come here... Yet before I came, none of the high-ranking figures came to meet the Saint Master!"

He looked up at the young man in front of him and said, "With the Saint Master's reputation, abilities, and future, even elders listed within the Supreme Pavilion must do their utmost to win you over! They have not come, not because they disregard the Saint Master, but because they are waiting for me to negotiate a mutually satisfactory outcome with the Saint Master!"

Lin Yan calmly said, "So, are you the great trend?"

Mr. Ling slowly stated, "The high-ranking members of the Holy Alliance, if we look broadly, are all strong figures of the Human Clan, existing within the upper echelons of the Human Clan."

"But privately, not everyone is a Saint; some will find like-minded persons, become close friends, and over time, they become an invisible force."

"After years of development, within the Holy Alliance, various forces, clans, and department factions also exist."

"The daily intrigue is merely to strive for more resources and strengthen oneself."

"But when truly faced with matters involving the great trend of the Human Clan, ultimately they will put aside their differences, fight side by side, and resist tribulations."

"Regarding the matter of Marquis Wangxi this time, all factions fell silent, tacitly allowing me to come and plead."

"This already proves that all forces agree to spare Marquis Wangxi."

"All forces also believe that killing a Mortal World Martial Saint would destroy the pillar of the Human Clan, so today they all remain silent without any action."

Mr. Ling sighed and said, "Saint Master, doesn't this represent the great trend of the Human Clan?"

"The Human Clan... is the race of all people!"

Lin Yan shook his head slightly and said, "You are high-ranking figures accomplished in cultivation, able to rally more of the Human Clan! You are of the Human Clan, but the Human Clan is not you!"

He calmly said, "At least, here with me, there is a difference in opinion with you!"

Mr. Ling shook his head and said, "How can one Saint Master compare to our many high-ranking members of the Holy Alliance? Even if accompanied by Great Luck, you are but one person!"

"How many high-ranking members are within the Holy Alliance?"

Lin Yan slowly said, "Are the Human Clan just you? Rather than that, spread the word; if all beings wish to pardon Marquis Wangxi, proving the direction of people's hearts is the great trend... I won't kill him!"

Mr. Ling said solemnly, "If this matter is spread, the hearts of the people will be anxious, and no longer able to trust the high-ranking members of the Holy Alliance, the order of the Human Clan will collapse in an instant! You, as the Venerated Saint Master of the Human Clan, can't you look at the overall situation?"

"Is your overall situation the overall situation?"

Lin Yan said solemnly, "The truth should always be made clear to the world!"

He picked up the teapot and filled the teacup in front of Mr. Ling, slowly saying, "You are afraid!"

Full glass for respect!

Full cup for bidding farewell!

Words that don't match need not be many!

"Saint Master?"

Mr. Ling's face turned ugly.

Lin Yan quietly looked at the elder before him and said, "In your eyes, the weak Human Clan doesn't even qualify as the Human Clan; they don't deserve to be pointed to as the direction of the great trend of the Human Clan! Only high-ranking figures like you are the direction of the great trend... How is your mentality different from Celestials?"

"We serve the Holy Alliance, from ancestors to this generation, protecting countless people, slaying countless evil!"

Mr. Ling shouted angrily, "To compare us, the champions who have sheltered the Human Clan, with those desiring to destroy the Human Clan, like the traitors of the Heavenly Gate, is excessive!"

Lin Yan sighed and said, "Having sheltered the Human Clan doesn't mean you can arbitrarily slaughter the Human Clan!"

Mr. Ling took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger, and continued, "Since the Holy Alliance was founded, internally, there has always been different struggles for power and personal ideology... But when faced with the life and death of the entire race, there is ultimately a limit! At present, all around the Holy Alliance, chaos abounds; a Mortal World Martial Saint can hold up a piece of sky, but nobody will agree with you fighting to kill a Mortal World Martial Saint!"

Lin Yan laughed, mockingly saying, "So, now the high-ranking members of the Holy Alliance believe I am the source of the internal strife?"

"Now that the Holy Alliance is in urgent need of people, after Marquis Wangxi has been ennobled, he will be sent to the most chaotic Northern Territory, and he may not survive."

Mr. Ling slowly said, "A Mortal World Martial Saint is a pillar that holds up the sky for the world; he may die in Deceit Night, buried in the mouth of evil, but cannot be executed!"

At this point, he looked at Lin Yan and said seriously, "I assure you, every task Marquis Wangxi undertakes in the future will be the most perilous; he will be the frontline blade of the Human Clan, expending all his energy until he dies in battle!"

"Then spread the fame of the Human Clan's pioneers for posterity?"

Lin Yan said, "And then, you all can imitate that, and your successors can imitate that?"

"Creating Mortal World Martial Saints in this way is no different from sacrificing the Human Clan for the protection of evil!"

"The lives of the Human Clan remain as worthless as grass!"

"The only difference is that the Human Clan sacrificed die to evil! The Human Clan you refine die by your hands!"

"Under the guise of fostering the backbone of the Human Clan... Are you even worthy?"
