I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

"Not killing Marquis Wangxi is the true sorrow of the Human Clan's civilization!"

Lin Yan said in a deep voice, "The remnants of the Celestials still exist in the world, with Old God servants causing trouble and evil spirits running rampant... The matter of Marquis Wangxi cannot be concealed at all!"

The middle-aged Taoist shook his head and said, "After his death, all external news about him is slander and not factual at all!"

Lin Yan grasped the Night Illuminating Divine Sword and said lightly, "If this continues, those imitating Marquis Wangxi will emerge one after another, and that is the true danger of extermination to our clan!"

The middle-aged Taoist's expression changed slightly and was about to speak.

"Step aside!"

Lin Yan edged out the blade an inch and calmly said, "If you dare to obstruct again, you will be considered complicit and killed!"

The middle-aged Taoist could not help but sigh and retreated half a step.

All eyes were on them; all factions of the Holy Alliance were present, and he simply couldn't make a move against the Saint Master!

Lin Yan continued forward, each faction had different thoughts, with immense complexity.

The decision-makers all knew what he intended to do.

Although the various human clan members present did not know the truth, because the previous conversation was blocked by mana and they were unaware of the details, they all sensed the tense atmosphere!

The Saint Master held a person with one hand and a sword in the other, with the blade already out by an inch!

Killing intent filled the air, spreading in all directions!

The high-level of the Holy Alliance was completely silent!

Numerous gazes focused on the Saint Master.

They watched as the Saint Master stepped toward the high platform.

For some reason, even these ordinary people, who knew nothing of the truth, felt a great pressure and could not help but hold their breath, not daring to make any noise!

In the silence, Lin Yan ascended the high platform!

Prince Zhen Nan and the other two Human Martial Saints about to enter the Supreme Pavilion looked seriously at the figure in Lin Yan's hand!

Marquis Wangxi!

This was the person who was supposed to stand here with them, to be sealed by the Supreme Pavilion and bestowed treasures by the Holy Alliance, to be listed in the history of the Human Clan, and to be renowned for all eternity!

But now, he was held by the Saint Master like a stray dog!

"Has the Saint Master decided?"

The Young Venerable asked in a complex tone.

"Are you the disciple of the current Alliance Hierarch?"

Lin Yan glanced at him and said slowly, "If you have truly been taught by him, you wouldn't have asked this question."

The Young Venerable slightly lowered his head and stepped aside.

Above, the elders of the Supreme Pavilion cast complicated glances at Lin Yan.

Yet, no one acted to stop him!

"Saint Master, consider your actions thrice before proceeding."

The Chief Supreme Elder sighed and said, "The Human Clan cannot withstand turmoil; for so many years, we have only sought stability!"

"Being in high positions, away from the mortal world."

Lin Yan spoke, "To this day, what you seek is the stability of your own interests, not the stability of the Human Clan! Over two hundred thousand lives can be regarded as insignificant; how can that be considered stable?"

The Chief Supreme Elder stood up and walked forward.

He stood beside Lin Yan and said, "Recently, there have been disturbances in the Forbidden Lands of the Holy Alliance, and the coastal areas are particularly severe."

"The extreme north is excessively cold, causing more frost and snow. Snow Demons run rampant, birthing powerful beings, some even experiencing Sanctum Ascension. This winter, it is expected that... when frost and snow fall, they will cross the northern line and invade the northern part of our Holy Alliance, slaughtering the Human Clan."

"Within the Holy Alliance's territory, three Holy Lands lie in the southwest, which fell into the hands of evil over two hundred years ago. Ten years ago, they formed an alliance and have become formidable... Their fierce power is no less than that of the Demon Domain you passed through on your way here!"

"Similarly, in the southwestern region, the old Saint Master of the Kunyuan Holy Land has been merged with the Suppression Object for a hundred and sixty-three years, and it risks losing control at any moment."

"If anything happens to the Kunyuan Holy Land, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"At that time, all four Holy Lands will be beyond our Holy Alliance's control."

"Furthermore, beyond these four Holy Lands... at the very edges of the southwest, there are two more Holy Lands belonging to the Human Clan."

"Back when the three Holy Lands in the southwest became Forbidden Lands of evil, the Kunyuan Holy Land is now the only pathway to those two Holy Lands."

"If the Kunyuan Holy Land falls, it would create four Forbidden Lands, cutting off access to these two Holy Lands."

"The Demon Domain back then severed the connection between the Holy Alliance and the southern part of the Taixuan Divine Mountain, resulting in the South Mountain Sacred Land from which the Saint Master hails, having no previous contact with our Holy Alliance!"

"But as the South Mountain Sacred Land remains secure and has not been completely corrupted by evil, otherwise... from the Southern King City looking southward, there would be no Human Clan surviving!"

"And this is merely the tip of the iceberg of the current Holy Alliance situation!"

He stroked his beard slightly and said, "Our Human Clan has sustained great losses in high-level combat power over the years. In the Holy Alliance's prime, there were a hundred and thirteen Holy Lands, but now only ninety-eight! Among the fallen Holy Lands, the Human Clan within either turned directly into Blood Food or already became slaves to evil..."

Lin Yan said nothing, quietly watching the elder before him.

The Chief Supreme Elder exhaled and continued, "The Human Clan is at a critical moment of survival, with each Human Martial Saint being a pillar of support!"

"The Saint Master refused Marquis Wangxi entry to the Supreme Pavilion, so everyone took a step back and removed his name."

"The Saint Master insisted on killing, so everyone took another step back, granting you the opportunity to kill him."

"However, the Saint Master's intention to publicly announce his crimes, affecting the grand momentum of the Human Clan and stirring unrest in people's hearts, will undermine the status of Human Martial Saints, shake the trust of countless Human Clan members in the hierarchy, and erode the authority of the Holy Alliance... The Saint Master's actions are destroying the foundation of this era's Human Clan civilization!"

He looked at Lin Yan and said, "The populace is ignorant and can be deceived! As long as the Saint Master declares, at this moment, that Marquis Wangxi suffered an assassination attempt by a Celestial and that the Holy Alliance must save him, this matter can be dispelled!"

"Then, you will have another achievement of saving a Human Martial Saint and repelling a great enemy!"
