I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

On this day, news spread from the Demon Domain, reaching all sides.

The Saint Master piloted the warship, leading the crowd to attack the Beishan Holy Land.

Just like when he shattered the Green King Holy Mountain!

But this time, the Saint Master failed to achieve complete success!

The Beishan Holy Land was not destroyed!

This could be said to be the only failure of the Saint Master in recent times!

But due to this event, the newly appointed Kui Bull Saint Master of the Beishan Holy Land suffered serious injuries, and the gates of the Holy Land were tightly shut!

Meanwhile, forces within the Demon Domain gathered, originally intending to reinforce the Beishan Holy Land.

However, seeing the unfavorable situation, the Saint Master of the Human Clan dared not return to Prince Zhen Nan's Royal City, instead retreating directly with the elite of the Royal City to Taixuan Divine Mountain!

Yet, even as various forces tried to explore the situation of the Beishan Holy Land, they were all refused entry by the new Saint Master.

——

Taixuan Divine Mountain!

The Saint Master returns!

No soldier in the army was left unexcited or unmotivated!

Previously, Taixuan Divine Mountain was resisting the Demon Domain day and night; later, with the appearance of the Saint Master, the Demon Domain nearly launched a full-scale attack to annihilate Taixuan Divine Mountain.

Back then, the Great Banner Master decided to disperse the forces to slow down the enemy's momentum, a tactic that was bound to lead to total annihilation!

They did this to allow the Saint Master to grow!

Later, when the Saint Master arrived at Taixuan Divine Mountain, his divine might was tremendous, with significant victories, greatly boosting morale!

To this day, Taixuan Divine Mountain has gradually regained lost territories, and is now quite stable.

And this time, the Saint Master has returned with a large group of elite soldiers from the Holy Alliance.

Among them are Creation Gods and martial artists in the Refining God Realm.

"Xiao Li, you are an Elder of the Holy Alliance, and one of the Commanders; the soldiers brought from Prince Zhen Nan's Royal City will be dispatched by you."

Lin Yan said this calmly, looking to his side.

This was the high-ranking Inspection Envoy of the Demon Suppression Department, a confidant of today's Supreme Commander.

Back when the Green King Mountain Holy Land was defeated, it was this high-ranking Inspection Envoy who handled the aftermath and found for Lin Yan an Archivist skilled in painting, as well as a person who had achieved the Inner Realm of the Heavenly Book.

This person was named Xu Xi, known for his ruthless and decisive methods.

Before departing, Lin Yan approached the Supreme Commander of the Demon Suppression Department to request a group of elite adept at investigations, and the Supreme Commander highly recommended this person.

"The authority of the Demon Suppression Department is basically the same as ours at the Observatory, but regarding the methods of the Observatory... whether it's Tribulation Ash or evil from the Demon Domain, they have already learned about it, so they often manage to escape."

Lin Yan said, "By using the methods of the Demon Suppression Department, you can catch them off guard! Next, work with the Observatory to root out all the spies from the Demon Domain hidden within Taixuan Divine Mountain in the shortest time possible..."

"Understood!"

Xu Xi was silent for a moment, then asked, "Do we need conclusive evidence?"

Lin Yan paused and said, "Those with conclusive evidence, execute! Those merely suspected, temporarily imprison them, and after dealing with the Demon Domain, interrogate carefully!"

Talking until here, he looked toward the Great Banner Master and said, "Before I departed, I spoke with you, saying that upon my return, we must attack the Demon Domain!"

"Since the day the Saint Master set forth, this old man has been waiting, just fearing that due to old age and frailty, I might not live to see the Saint Master return..."

The Great Banner Master burst into laughter, stroking his beard, "I just didn't expect the Saint Master to return not long after departing! Seeing the Saint Master today, it's as if it was in another lifetime!"

"The Great Banner Master has given too much praise."

Lin Yan glanced at the Heavenly Mechanism Banner Master beside him.

Fu Zhong previously lost an arm, suffered damage to his meridians, and could not circulate his True Qi, losing hope of further advancement.

However, taking over as the Heavenly Mechanism Banner Master led to a new kind of fortune.

To this day, this new Heavenly Mechanism Banner Master has achieved very high proficiency in divination and calculations.

That night, Lin Yan left various treasures earned through merits in Heavenly Destiny City at Taixuan Divine Mountain.

He led the elite of the Holy Alliance to replace the worn-out defenders, giving the Taixuan Garrison, who for years on end hadn't had a real rest, a true moment of peace.

Fu Zhong, on the other hand, stayed by Lin Yan's side, wanting to speak but hesitating.

"Speak your mind."

"Regarding this battle, I performed a divination but couldn't get a result."

"Oh?" Lin Yan glanced at him, "Then you need to keep practicing."

"Although it's not advisable to mention things that hurt morale on the eve of battle, I'm still worried." Fu Zhong's tone was slightly grave as he said, "Do you know, that the Great Temple Priest of the Wutong Temple in Qifeng Prefecture City, Lu Changsheng, once performed a divination for you?"

"..." Lin Yan was silent for a moment, then asked, "What was the result?"

"Lu Changsheng is not dead." Fu Zhong paused, "And neither am I."

"Isn't that a good thing?" Little White Ape couldn't help but say.

"Logically, with the Saint Master's current skills and great luck, with the cultivation and foundation of the two of us, even if we weren't dead, we'd be deeply affected by backlash."

Fu Zhong said slowly, "He performed a divination for the Saint Master with the mindset of certain death! And I did so after knowing this, risking my life to verify it!"

He said in a low voice, "The battle with the Demon Domain may have overwhelming changes."

Lin Yan slightly closed his eyes, sensing the Inner Realm Divine Domain within, where the Alliance Hierarch slumbered in the Ice Hell.

He then opened his eyes, looking toward the direction of the Demon Domain, and said, "For this battle, I have three reasons that make it unavoidable."

Fu Zhong was solemn upon hearing this.

"In the Demon Domain, there is a Netherworld Forbidden Land, within which lies a Rejuvenation Pool, capable of saving the current Alliance Hierarch of the Holy Alliance, this is the first!"

Lin Yan continued, "Second, without this battle, the Demon Domain cannot be reclaimed, and this land cannot rebuild its bridge with the Holy Alliance!"

"For over three thousand years, the South Mountain Sacred Land has been fighting alone, and to this day, it hasn't fallen; the Human Clan can still build cities on this land, preserving civilization and heritage."

"But signs of a great era have already emerged, with the resurrection of Immortal Gods."
