I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

Everyone's eyes turned in the direction of the voice.

They saw a young man in a gold-threaded black robe, with a Little White Ape with wings perched on his shoulder.

A long blade hung at his waist as he slowly approached.

"From this day forth, the Song Family is removed from the ranks of the New Technique inheritances."

Lin Yan's tone was calm as a Token rose behind him.

The Token of the Inspection Envoy from the Demon Suppression Department Main Hall!

This was something forged by the Holy Alliance, modeled after the Heavenly Book Inner Scenery, capable of being released anew in the form of a mirage.

"Everything that just happened has been recorded by me."

Lin Yan put away the Token and quietly looked ahead.

Those two Guest Elders turned extremely frightened.

"Saint Master..."

The two immediately abandoned their blades, knelt on the ground, and said tremblingly, "We were only following orders..."

"Following orders, but what you carried out were evil deeds in the end!"

Lin Yan's face was indifferent as he said, "To them, it's you who disregarded the law, committed murder midway, and earned the death penalty! In my eyes, a thousand-mile dam is destroyed by an ant hole, and you ants are precisely the source of such destruction! Order collapses, civilization crumbles, small becomes large, you all... deserve death a thousand times over!"

As his voice fell, he flicked his finger.

A Silent Extinction Divine Light erupted from the Night Illuminating Divine Sword.

Each of them received a strike, showing a look of horror.

The next moment, their flesh bodies continued to crumble as though turning into dust, rising continuously.

"Saint Master spare us!"

"We have elders above and youngsters below, serving the Song Family just to make a living..."

"I have been at the Peak of the Qi Refining Realm for many years, if I can survive, I promise to serve the Human Clan as a master of Creation in the future!"

"Saint Master, have mercy..."

As Lin Yan remained unmoved, their voices gradually turned into curses, then dissipated like smoke.

The few from Flame Spirit Prefecture watched this scene with complex expressions, hearts shocked into silence.

Lin Yan threw out two porcelain bottles and said, "Healing Pills, after consuming, the injuries will be healed... Another bottle of Strengthening Qi Pill, your True Qi is overly exhausted, absorbing external Qi will aggravate the hidden dangers of your cultivation technique, mood swings can easily lose control, using Strengthening Qi Pill will be better."

As his voice fell, he had already arrived at the side of the young girl.

The young girl had been stabbed in the abdomen, her intestines all torn up, and her injuries were extremely serious, on the brink of death.

Fortunately, this girl also had the cultivation of Inner Strength, her vitality was strong enough to stave off death for a while.

Lin Yan's expression was solemn as he extended his fingers into her abdomen, extracting the broken pieces of intestines and other filth.

Sweeping away the maladies with Mana.

Then he used Mana to clean the wound, subsequently connecting it back together.

He was after all not a doctor.

Though his cultivation was not lacking, as a Martial Artist, killing was easy, but saving people, his methods were still crude.

If this girl hadn't reached the level of Inner Strength, even with Lin Yan's intervention, she would most likely not survive.

But presently, there was no longer any fear for her life.

"Thank the Saint Master for saving me!"

All the young people from Flame Spirit Prefecture were excited and knelt in complete gratitude.

The girl slowly regained consciousness, and the first sight she saw was Lin Yan's face.

It was a face she was very familiar with, seen in the Heavenly Destiny City Saint Master.

She murmured in a low voice, "According to ancient records, after a person dies, they enter the Netherworld, ascend Wangxiang Platform, look back on their past life, and can see the person they most wanted to see in life..."

"But the question is, is the Saint Master the person I most wanted to see?"

"Father, it's my fault. I thought I should see you after I died."

"Senior Brother... well, he's most likely dead too. Perhaps we will meet on the Yellow Springs Road, at which time he'll think I caused trouble, killed everyone, and he might give me a good beating."

She sighed and murmured, "If only Senior Brother wouldn't die, so I could avoid a beating..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

That young man, having just taken a Strengthening Qi Pill, couldn't hold back and walked over, giving his Junior Sister a slap to bring her to her senses.

"Take a good look, your Senior Brother isn't dead yet!"

"Senior Brother, let's face the reality, if you weren't dead, why did you come to the Netherworld to beat me?" the girl consoled, "It's okay, in the next life we'll be twins, truly brother and sister..."

"The Saint Master is still here, don't embarrass yourself!" the young man said angrily.

"What? The Saint Master died too?" the girl was startled, she flipped up, and her abdominal wound pulled, turning her face white with pain and sweating profusely.

"My master isn't dead!" The Little White Ape moved closer and said, "And neither are you, thanks to my master's divine intervention, he reattached your intestines, you're lucky..."

"Ah?"

The girl was a bit muddled, looking around.

Then her gaze fell on Lin Yan for a long moment.

She promptly rolled her eyes, laying back down.

Perhaps it's better to die!

——

The path to the Upper Heaven did not necessarily go through Flame Spirit Prefecture.

But Lin Yan planned to detour around Flame Spirit Prefecture, conceal his tracks, and then head to the Upper Heaven, to mislead those intent on deducing its location from his route.

When the young people of Flame Spirit Prefecture discovered the Saint Master would be traveling with them, they were overwhelmed with excitement.

Yet amidst their excitement, they were also filled with anxiety, experiencing a sense of nervousness and unease in the presence of a venerable elder.

"The youth are so full of vitality..."

Lin Yan thought to himself, "This group of youths places life and death aside with such regard for their fellow disciples, brave in the face of danger to create life-saving opportunities, their character is truly commendable..."

After joining the Holy Alliance, these were the most spirited members of the Human Clan he had seen.

Especially that girl, she seems so young and innocent, yet isn't it a different kind of innocence?

In this era of Deceit Night, there are seldom Human Clan individuals with such pure heart realms.

Along his journey, he was generous with his guidance.

Especially with that young man, who had come a long way in the Qi Refining Realm and wasn't too far from the Peak level.

He would have the qualification to practice the New Technique in the future.

Lin Yan didn't directly bestow the Kaiyuan Creation God Skill, but offered insights from his own cultivation experience to help him achieve the Peak of the Qi Refinement as quickly as possible.

For the girl and the other young people, he also offered considerable guidance.

If not for the girl's injury, she would likely have broken through to the Refining Essence Realm soon.

"Back then, the master's Refining Essence and Transforming Qi relied solely on himself without Evil Qi, proving a very stable foundation..." the Little White Ape promptly flattered, "These various insights are indeed worthy for transmission through generations!"

"Get out of here and play."

Lin Yan shot it a sidelong glance and said, "The Song Family's attempt to assassinate was an accident, but if in the future, high-ranking figures or Demons intercept us, first collect these young ones to ensure their safety..."

The Little White Ape grumbled, "Are these youths that important to the master?"

Lin Yan sighed and said, "If the young people in Heavenly Destiny City all had their character, there would be no concern for the next generation's flourishing. Unfortunately, in Heavenly Destiny City, the great families, and the proud youths look down on others with arrogance and self-interest..."

"In the past, those young prodigies in Heavenly Destiny City were the future leaders of the Human Clan!"

"Now that I have joined the Holy Alliance, I must break through shackles, prioritize virtue and learning, valuing character first, then talent and understanding!"

"These few, though not without talent, could bear great responsibility if they don't falter in keeping their true selves in the future!"

As he spoke, Lin Yan slightly knitted his brows, feeling some strange sensation.

He looked up, and saw in the distant sky, a large flock of fierce birds descending from above.

And on the ground, a caravan was moving forward.

"Enemy attack!"

"There's a Demon!"

"Quick, fire arrows!"

The fierce birds arrived too swiftly!

A Martial Artist, unable to defend in time, grabbed the man next to him, shielding himself with him.

The bird's claws tore through the man's waist, then it soared upward, taking the lower half of the corpse with it.

The Martial Artist breathed a sigh of relief, quickly notching an arrow to kill the flying birds.

"Ah, how could you do that?"

An elder hurried forward, forming hand seals, placing them on the man who was torn apart, and said, "Child, are there any last words? I will make sure to carry them out for you..."

"..."

Lin Yan, standing some distance away, just about to intervene, suddenly retracted his gaze, murmuring, "The Great Evil Divine Artifact? No..."
