I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

"Saint Master!"

"The Saint Master has arrived!"

"Top of all three rankings: thirteenth on the Heavenly List, first on the Earthly List, and first on the Human List. In contemporary times, there is no one more outstanding!"

"I've heard he is only in his twenties, a figure unparalleled in history!"

"He established the New Technique, received blessings from the Ancient Immortal, possessing the Great Luck of legends!"

"He killed the Great Saint of Beishan, destroyed the foundation of the Heavenly Gate, quelled the chaos in the Withered Glory Sacred Land, and suppressed the Old Gods of Shangri Sacred Land..."

"Even among the high-ranking members of the Holy Alliance, how many could achieve his feats?"

"Is he really this young?"

"Will the New Technique be spread throughout the world because of this?"

People from all sides fixed their eyes on the Saint Master.

The high-ranking individuals held more complex views, with many scrutinizing gazes mixed in.

While ordinary citizens, typical Martial Artists, and outsiders felt a sense of awe!

It's an inexplicable excitement towards a recently renowned figure who seems to only exist in legends!

"Saint Master!"

At that moment, an Elder of the Holy Alliance stepped forward and sternly said, "We have already compromised, allowing the Saint Master to act. Whether it's my grandson, Song Fei, or the current Marquis Wangxi, they've both entrusted their lives to you... We've conceded enough!"

The ancestor of the Song Family sighed and said, "You should also take a step back; don't push people too hard!"

"Why should I retreat?"

Lin Yan calmly said, "Because one life repays the lives of over two million people?"

The ancestor of the Song Family shook his head slightly and said, "For his crimes, he's lost his life. That should be the end of it!"

"And then?"

Lin Yan calmly said, "To have him posthumously promoted to a Supreme Elder, remembered throughout history, and give his descendants better treatment? He deserves only eternal infamy!"

The ancestor of the Song Family sighed, "The dead are to be respected!"

Carrying Marquis Wangxi with one hand, Lin Yan walked forward, calmly saying, "If you continue to stand in my way, the dead truly will be respected!"

The ancestor of the Song Family's face changed slightly, and he involuntarily stepped back two steps.

Lin Yan walked past him, glanced sideways, and said, "Throughout history, even as the Immortal Gods have vanished in the long river of time, no matter how powerful the Human Clan, even two generations of Human Emperors, have all perished! Hundreds or thousands of years later, you and I may no longer exist. Whether one dies before or after, the dead are great!"

"He built his Human Martial Saint life on the lives of over two million!"

"This cultivation is his crime! It's not a merit to be remembered eternally under the name of Human Martial Saint!"

"You think that with Song Fei dead, your inaction is a concession to me?"

"This is merely your Song Family's way of self-preservation; if you dare to act, I will dare to destroy you!"

"Song Fei deserved death, it's your Song Family's failure in teaching, your descendants were arrogant and reckless, disregarding their kin, trampling the laws. I've only executed him and not held your Song Family accountable, which is restraint enough!"

"In the future, restrain the Song Family's descendants, lest they recklessly bring about their own end!"

With the Saint Master's voice.

The ancestor of the Song Family's face turned blue and red, stepping back.

As an Elder of the Holy Alliance and a family patriarch, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

But opposite him, this youth was the Saint Master of the current era!

Regardless of status or cultivation, or achievements, he surpassed a century's worth of accumulation!

As long as the Saint Master doesn't meet an untimely end, the future world will surely be led by him!

The ancestor of the Song Family sighed, slightly bowed his head, and dared not speak further.

At this moment, another middle-aged man in a Taoist robe approached, sighing, "The ruckus has gone on long enough."

"A ruckus?"

Lin Yan calmly said, "From the Guardian Righteous Dao Sect?"

This middle-aged man said in a low voice, "Marquis Wangxi can die, but not be executed publicly! Use his life to repay the lives of the citizens of those three cities. The justice you sought, we've given it to you!"

"And the citizens of those three cities?"

Lin Yan said, "Perished at the hands of Evil?"

This middle-aged Taoist shook his head and said, "The dead cannot speak."

Lin Yan calmly stated, "I am not dead yet, nor are you all dead, living people must stand up for those unjustly dead!"

The middle-aged Taoist sighed and said, "A Human Martial Saint, with supreme cultivation in the world, is a pillar capable of upholding peace in a region! The Holy Alliance intended to spare Marquis Wangxi, but you insist on killing him! Now you seek satisfaction only for the moment, lacking long-term vision..."

Lin Yan asked, "What is long-term vision?"

The middle-aged Taoist solemnly said, "A Human Martial Saint can protect a region, akin to the presence of an Immortal God in the hearts of the Human Clan!"

"Saint Master ought to know, Ancient Old Gods do not genuinely shelter us. Day will come when chaos erupts!"

"In the future when Old Gods betray the Human Clan, as long as there are Human Martial Saints with a status equal to Immortal Gods, people's hearts will not completely collapse!"

"The Power of Incense is exceedingly important to Old Gods, and even more so for Human Martial Saints."

"Through ages, the title 'Human Martial Saint' in the hearts of the Human Clan was recognition gained from protecting all lives and exhibiting great power!"

"Today, announcing this to the world, will utterly shake the position of Human Martial Saints, akin to Immortal Gods in people's hearts!"

"When the Human Clan no longer trusts their powerful members, the era will undoubtedly fall into chaos!"

This middle-aged Taoist solemnly said, "As the leader of the Human Clan, the Holy Alliance gathers powerful clan members to govern the world! When the authority of powerful figures in the Human Clan's hierarchy vanishes, the Holy Alliance will inevitably disintegrate!"

He bowed to Lin Yan, saying, "After the Second Generation Human Emperor, the inheritance of human civilization almost broke, and the world's beings were displaced, becoming blood food for Evil, until the Holy Alliance was founded. Developing to this point, there has been a millennium of peace, Saint Master... are you going to destroy the human civilization that countless predecessors stabilized with all their efforts?"
