I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

In the Pill Furnace, ten Elixir Pills emerged, teeming with blood energy, brimming with vitality.

The Ten Thousand Souls Human Pill!

Each elixir contained the flesh and soul of over ten thousand of the Human Clan!

Over ten thousand, condensed in the Pill Furnace into an Elixir Pill no larger than a fingernail, with a blood light piercing the sky.

All the Evil beings and descendants of Gods and Demons had eyes filled with blazing light, full of greed and hunger.

Especially that man with azure scales, nearly unable to hold back his drool.

"The elixir is complete! It's complete..."

From behind the Pill Furnace, a person emerged, holding a gourd, collecting all the Elixir Pills into it.

Their figure was hunched, appearing short.

Entirely hairless, with skin as clear as jade.

Like a youth bending over.

But when the head was raised, the face was full of wrinkles, and the eyes were filled with a fierce gleam.

The ancestor of the Earth Official of the Plague Department, originally a monkey, yet by a chance encounter with the Divine Spirit of the Plague Department, all hair shed, becoming a descendant of Gods and Demons.

He was similar to the Human Clan, but distinctly different.

He swept his gaze over the crowd, his expression suddenly grew somber.

"I've sent thirty-six invitations; why are some missing?"

His gaze fell on Shangguan Shang, saying, "Are you of the Human Clan?"

Shangguan Shang remained calm, merely revealing the Great Sun Fire Prison and the Fire Wings behind him.

"This... is a creature of the Great Sun lineage? You are very close in Qi Mechanism to the White Cloud Divine Bird clan, are you distant relatives?"

The Earth Official of the Plague Department, his eyes calmed down again, said, "But how did you get hold of my invitation?"

"I saw the invitation was addressed to the leader of the Dragon Head Tribe, so I came." Shangguan Shang said flatly.

"..."

The Earth Official of the Plague Department upon hearing this nodded and said, "It seems Dragon Beard Tiger was eaten by you, no matter... As long as you are stronger than him, you naturally have more qualification to attend the banquet here."

"Earth Official, let's dispense with the small talk; we have all prepared our gifts, time to start the banquet."

The man with azure scales spoke, eyes burning, and said, "These Ten Thousand Souls Human Pills you've refined should give me a share..."

"Nonsense! There are only ten in total. Why should you get a share?"

The white bear slammed the table, angrily saying, "This share should belong to me!"

"Stop the ruckus! Stop the ruckus!"

The Earth Official of the Plague Department raised a hand and said, "Though the Ten Thousand Souls Human Pills are only ten, the elixirs I previously refined are enough for you all to partake..."

He said serenely, "It depends on the level of your gifts, to determine the class of the Elixir Pills you deserve."

The numerous Evil beings and descendants of Gods and Demons all had complex expressions, with hints of anticipation.

Meanwhile, the Earth Official of the Plague Department unhurriedly sat in the high seat, looking down, saying, "However, the banquet starts late; there is still an honored guest yet to arrive, let's wait quietly."

The large toad opened its mouth and spat out a water jar, which flew out and landed steadily in the middle.

Inside the jar was a pool of clear water.

With a flick of a finger by the Earth Official of the Plague Department, a black elixir pill merged into the clear water.

Instantly, a fragrance of wine filled the air.

"This is a new poisonous brew I've made, drink a cup and you'll feel dazed, as if drunk, slightly tipsy, floating and ephemeral, without harm to the body."

"And in this Poison Pill, I've specially added many strange energies of the Evil Spirit, along with the essence of a Tree Demon, making it a top worldly delicacy!"

"Even when the Heavenly Court stood back then, the Immortal Wine brewed by the Imperial Palace was probably no more than this."

"Drink together... drink together..."

The Earth Official of the Plague Department raised a cup first, Mana flowed, raising the poisonous brew from the jar to form a thin line, falling into the cup.

He drank it all at once, exclaiming it a fine wine.

The myriad of Evil beings and descendants of Gods and Demons each took the wine, drinking heartily.

Only Shangguan Shang and the Qiongqi descendant remained motionless.

"Could it be that the two of you disdain my newly made brew?"

The Earth Official of the Plague Department showed anger, the densely wrinkled face faintly showing a fierce gleam.

"No dare! Just never strong with alcohol."

Shangguan Shang said this, adding, "Moreover, I was just puzzled, given your status as the fifth-generation Earth Official of the Plague Department... what kind of honored guest dares to make such a display in front of you, still not arrived, and keeps us waiting?"

"..."

The Earth Official of the Plague Department felt rather peculiar inside.

Logically, these words were questioning him.

He should be angry.

Yet inexplicably, he felt these words seemed to elevate his stature, causing him to feel somewhat elated.

He coughed once, then said, "This one is not an ordinary existence, but a direct lineage of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, Kang Su, with extremely pure blood, even starting to take human form, a remarkable talent with potential to vie for the Young Master position within the royal family!"

"Kang Jinlong's bloodline?"

Numerous Evil beings were taken aback.

Those relying on the blood of Gods and Demons also looked serious.

One of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, Kang Jinlong!

In the Heavenly Court, also a distinguished, prominent figure, one of the True Gods, renowned in the Ten Thousand Realms.

"No wonder... no wonder..."

The man with azure scales sighed and said, "No wonder, with the Earth Official's status, he must wait for him before starting the banquet! Such a noble royalty, waiting here for him is only right for us!"

"The main banquet won't start, waiting for the honored guest, but let's first drink the new wine and discuss recent cultivation insights, especially fellow Daoist White Bear's insights on nurturing the Human Clan, something this official is quite interested in..."

With a wave of his hand, the Earth Official of the Plague Department said this.

"It's fine for the banquet to start later, but offerings from all sides should still be presented first, so we can determine who sits in the higher seat and who in the lower."

That leopard-like Heavenly Demon suddenly spoke up.
