I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

Boom!

The Nine Yang Bell trembled slightly!

The protective shield around Lin Yan was shattered layer by layer!

But as his incense burned, the shield rose once again!

"I, this Heavenly Venerate, want to see how much mana you have left, trapped beast!"

You Heavenly Venerate sneered, "Your ability isn't bad, but you're relying purely on external assistance. Your own Creation cultivation can't sustain you for long, can it?"

He glanced at the surroundings and said, "To this day, Xuan Heavenly Venerate hasn't arrived, and neither have the other reinforcements... No wonder the Saint Master wasn't the least bit flustered by the ambush earlier, surely he was prepared."

"Have you ever read the art of war?"

Little White Ape sneered, "This is called 'encircle the point to aid!' "

The next moment, its expression changed slightly, and it said in a low voice, "Master, there's a flaw in this tactic, it seems we're the ones encircled this time..."

"..."

Lin Yan looked at the powerful enemies attacking from all sides, his expression grave.

Meanwhile, the Night Illuminating Divine Sword couldn't help but tremble with murderous intent.

Lin Yan patted the blade gently and said softly, "It's not time yet."

The astral wind roared, sharp as a knife.

"What is the Saint Master waiting for?"

Wind Saint Venerate grinned maliciously, "Under the Heaven and Earth Net, you can't escape!"

The City Captain of Flame Spirit Prefecture held a long bow, shooting arrows that pierced through five layers of shields!

"The Saint Master wants to lure out the various forces, with the Master of the Holy Alliance's direct lineage and the figures from the Upper Heaven, to catch them all in one net, using himself as bait, truly admirable."

This City Captain said, "Unfortunately, this bait will be eaten by us!"

The Earth Dragon turned, mountains and hills undulated.

Endless dust billowed, present everywhere in the astral wind.

Both heaven and earth seemed like a muddy pit, every movement heavy beyond measure.

"You seem to have overestimated your abilities."

The Earth Dragon spoke, "Truly invincible powerhouses aren't those who rely solely on external strength! Saint Master, in this Heaven and Earth Net, it's much harder to rely on external aid!"

Boom!

Little White Ape threw a replica Fire God Pearl!

Flames erupted!

However, the endless dust and astral wind sliced through the flames!

The explosion's power was weakened a hundredfold!

It could no longer pose a fatal threat to a Human Martial Saint-level powerhouse!

"This kill trap was prepared just for you."

You Heavenly Venerate said, "We are well aware of all your details! Everything has been set up here to restrain you!"

"Did you think leaving Heavenly Destiny City alone to lure us out meant you've won?"

"How could the most reputable Saint Master of the Human Clan be alone without a guard?"

"The only explanation is to bring us out!"

He said this with eyes full of ridicule.

Lin Yan sighed and said, "Since you know I was drawing you out, you still dare to make a move... it seems you've prepared well!"

"I was once part of the Human Clan myself, using tactics like this before."

You Heavenly Venerate said, "No matter how meticulous the Holy Alliance's planning, no matter how ambitious their schemes, as long as you die... no matter how great the Holy Alliance's triumph, it will be a defeat!"

Lin Yan slowly said, "Does this mean you are confident in burying me here?"

"If all the outer forces are mere bait... then why do you think the four of us can personally ambush the Saint Master?"

The Evil Spirit in the astral wind sneered, "The Four Symbols Spiritual Array, to seize the Great Luck of the world, is prepared for the Saint Master!"

The City Captain of Flame Spirit Prefecture's eyes were blazing as he said, "Once the Saint Master's mana is exhausted, we four can divide the luck and receive rewards from All Gods, gaining the method of enduring in the Mortal World!"

"Mana exhaustion..."

Lin Yan glanced up at the Nine Yang Bell, remaining silent.

——

Meanwhile.

Heavenly Mechanism Sacred Land.

The current Saint Master stood with hands behind his back, gazing into the distance.

Behind him stood an Elder of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

This Elder held a high position.

He is currently stationed at Heavenly Destiny City, overseeing the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, and holds intelligence from various factions of the Holy Alliance.

"Three years ago, after identifying that spy, the Saint Master didn't allow me to eliminate him, only to realize it was for today..."

This current head of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion sighed, "The Saint Master's strategy is so far-sighted that it could foresee today's events, it truly surpasses my reach."

"Stop the flattery."

The Heavenly Mechanism Saint Master slowly said, "How could I have foreseen today's events three years ago? Besides, it involves multiple Saint Realm individuals and a Saint Master with Great Luck... leaving that spy back then was just something done incidentally."

All forces wanted to place personnel within the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion to collect Holy Alliance intelligence.

Even if this one is cleared, there would be another.

Instead of clearing this one and waiting for his backers to place another, it was better to keep him and control him.

Over these years, the information that spy could leak was all filtered through the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

And this time, the intelligence regarding the Saint Master was filtered by the current Saint Master.

"It's well known that the Saint Master is extraordinarily strong."

"But we concealed the fact that the Saint Master possesses the Power of One Dragon, Nine Oxen, and Two Tigers."

"Furthermore, the Saint Master's Inner Realm Divine Domain allows his Primordial Spirit to gain incense."

"Though no temple was established, his reputation is like incense, substituting for mana use."

"We also concealed this."

"As for other half-true pieces of information, they were leaked through those two from the South Mountain Sacred Land."

The Elder stated, "The two of them, attending a banquet tonight, have already been captured."

The Heavenly Mechanism Saint Master calculated with his fingers and said, "The two are not in mortal danger, but delaying would cause them physical pain, they are, after all, the Saint Master's people. Go rescue them first..."

"Act now?"

The Elder pondered, "Will saving Shen Jiang and Lv Tang now alert the forces behind the scenes, thus affecting the ambushes in various places?"
