I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

"Master, do you recognize this guy?" Little White Ape noticed something strange and couldn't help but ask.

"I don't recognize him," Lin Yan said solemnly. "But there's a very familiar scent on him."

"Familiar?" Little White Ape was slightly surprised.

"Do you remember the Great Evil Divine Artifact?" Lin Yan asked.

"Is it that unspeakable existence?"

Little White Ape immediately recalled the past.

After Master created the New Technique and became the Human Race Saint Master, he returned to High Willow City for the first time.

The High Willow City Sky Observation Bureau's Commander was manipulated and, after losing control, became a pawn to assassinate the Saint Master.

But because of the commander's relatively firm will, he stopped the God-breaking Mallet at the last moment.

And the person behind it was the Master of the Great Evil Divine Artifact!

According to legend, this is one of the Magic Artifacts of the Ancient God King, entrusted to the attendants on either side.

This Ancient God King is an existence that even Liu Zun of High Willow City doesn't dare to mention!

"You sensed the Qi Mechanism of the Great Evil Divine Artifact?" Little White Ape was astonished.

"It's not the Great Evil Divine Artifact."

Lin Yan pondered, "But it's very similar, at least of the same tier, quite extraordinary..."

He looked at the few people beside him and immediately said, "There's a merchant convoy ahead that encountered an attack. Someone has already dealt with it. Let's go save the people and follow this convoy, but remember one thing..."

——

After the attack, the merchant convoy shot down no less than twenty demon birds.

Among the convoy members, two died, three were seriously injured, and six were slightly injured.

Coming out of Heavenly Destiny City, those responsible for transporting the goods were basically martial artists, not ordinary people.

"Zou Shi, you used a companion to block the blade!"

A middle-aged man raised his blade against a martial artist who survived the disaster.

"I had no choice!"

The martial artist immediately raised his blade to defend himself, his face pale.

"Is your life valuable while others' lives are not?"

The middle-aged man was filled with anger and said, "If everyone acted like you, how could our convoy survive on the road? Not only do we have to guard against outside demons and bandits, but also against internal traitors?"

"I just don't want to die. Is there anything wrong with that?"

The martial artist's face was unpleasant, seeing other martial artists approaching with the intent to kill him on the spot.

"This place isn't far from Heavenly Destiny City. They died at the hands of demons, but you killing me... that is a capital offense!"

"Don't forget, my uncle is the Deputy Commander of the west gate of the Outer City!"

"If you kill me, no one can escape!"

"Even if there's a judgment, it should be according to the laws of the Holy Alliance, not something you can decide!"

Thus, he shouted loudly, "Luo Tou, if I die here, you won't be able to escape responsibility!"

The merchant convoy leader remained silent for a moment before saying, "Little Zou doesn't deserve to die. Everyone step back and wait until this journey is over, then let the boss decide!"

The boss behind the Heavenly Destiny City merchant convoy is at least an Elder of the Holy Alliance!

Without a figure of Elder level as support, or the convoy not having the abilities beyond the Peak of Refining God Realm, such a business couldn't be done.

"Little Zhou is gone."

An elder sighed, stood up, with bloodstained hands, and said, "Can any brother do a favor and dig a pit to bury these two deceased brothers?"

Everyone exchanged looks, momentarily silent.

The elder reached into his pocket and took out two taels of silver, saying, "This is all I have. If it's not enough, once this shipment is delivered and the monthly payment comes in, I'll add another eight taels of silver, making a total of ten taels."

"I'll do it!" Someone's eyes brightened, and they immediately spoke up.

"Get out of the way!"

Another person pushed him aside angrily, "They're companions, and it's just digging two pits. Are you really shameless enough to take ten taels of silver?"

Before his voice fell, he quickly walked up to the elder, took the two taels of silver, and smiled, saying, "You can give the rest later..."

The middle-aged man, seeing he couldn't catch the culprit, turned around and sighed, "Old Liu, you're not young anymore. If you don't save some retirement money and spend it like this, how many copper coins can you keep? The two of them were neither related nor acquaintance to you, and while in Heavenly Destiny City, they even tricked you out of three taels of silver..."

"But we can't leave them exposed in the wilderness. They borrowed silver from me to buy more things to send to their families, having explained clearly, so it can't be considered deception."

The elder shook his head and said, "I've been injured these past few days, and it's hard to use True Qi; otherwise, I would have dug these two pits myself..."

"They're companions. Traveling outside, who doesn't have unexpected situations?"

The middle-aged man walked up, took the two taels of silver back, tossed them to the elder, and said, "I'll take care of it..."

"Good deeds bring good rewards. Thank you, Second Master Zheng."

The elder respectfully bowed and then went to check on the other injured.

He had significant injuries recently, so he couldn't use True Qi lightly, thus lacking strong combat power.

The reason he was allowed to accompany the convoy was because of his medical skills.

Moreover, the elder has always been very diligent in earning money!

"The old guy goes out to sell his life despite injuries, working hard to earn money, yet still can't save much. Hopefully, he won't be let down in the future." Some old members of the convoy remarked with emotion.

"What does Old Liu do? Why do Luo Tou and Second Master Zheng respect him so?" A young member showed an expression of confusion.

"The place we're heading to is called Kang City, where he has set up a Charitable Hall to care for the solitary and helpless elderly and children." The old member explained, "Thirty to forty mouths, all relying on him for food..."

"What?" The young member was stunned for a moment, showing a complex expression.

"We can't do what he does." The old member shrugged, "I don't claim to be a good person, but towards such a kind-hearted person... who could dislike him?"
