I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

Lu Changsheng's direct disciple!

Possesses skills not inferior to the present Great Temple Priest.

Freely traverses in and out of the Liu Zun Temple, conversing with the temple priests as if at home.

Highly respected by the City Guard Mansion, Observatory, and all major families within the city.

"It's a pity our elder brother isn't here, otherwise our family would be complete."

The sister considered this and couldn't help but sob gently.

"Actually, our elder brother is here."

Lin Yan fell silent for a moment, a light flickering on his forehead.

Everyone was startled at the sight.

A figure appeared from Lin Yan's forehead, settling beside the dining table.

This figure was phantom-like and insubstantial.

Brother-in-law Yu Jing's face turned pale instantly, taking a step back in shock, exclaiming, "Ghost..."

Lin Xiaoyue, Lin Xiaonian, and the little nephew, being younger, appeared somewhat bewildered.

However, Lin Xiaonian still got a fright and wailed loudly.

"Elder brother..."

Lin Lei was momentarily stunned.

The sister was equally astonished, then suddenly realized, tears immediately streaming down like rain.

"It's alright..."

Lin Miao smiled slightly, looking at Lin Yan, said: "My little brother protected my soul, the chance of resurrection in the future isn't impossible."

"How can the dead be revived?"

The sister cried out, "How did you become like this..."

Lin Miao reached out a hand, gently brushing over her head, saying, "From ancient times until now, the dead cannot be revived, it's a law of nature, but Yan said he could keep me from dying and I trust him."

Saying this, he looked at Lin Yan, revealed an apology, and said softly, "It's elder brother's fault for burdening you."

"Without you, elder brother, how could we have grown up safely?"

Lin Yan stepped forward half a step, saying this.

Lin Miao sat calmly at the edge of the dining table, saying: "When I first heard of the Saint Master's name, I was full of reverence. Later, learning from Great Temple Priest Lu Changsheng that the current Saint Master was my younger brother, I was deeply shocked but extremely proud."

"Although I don't know how you grew to this point after elder brother left, it must have been with great difficulty."

"This time, it was elder brother's rashness..."

His expression turned somber, saying: "At that time, I didn't retreat, partially due to unwillingness to abandon my comrades in the army, and partially because I feared the stigma on the Saint Master's brother of deserting companions at the battlefield. Never thought that in the end, with this Demon Transformation Technique, it would lead to losing control, worsening the situation."

"Not so bad, at least your soul is preserved."

Lin Yan said, "This is a family feast, let's not talk about the battle outside, let's eat..."

With Lin Yan's words, everyone sat down again.

Only brother-in-law Yu Jing, felt uneasy and somewhat afraid.

But thinking of what was said earlier, the name of the current Saint Master, he couldn't help but look at Lin Yan several more times.

The Yu Family wasn't considered a major family, only having heard of a Saint Master emerging in the mortal world, establishing a new Martial Arts method, venerated by all as a Saint.

In his understanding, he only knew that was a big figure far exceeding all the big figures combined in High Willow City!

But such a big figure, turned out to be his wife's maternal uncle?

He couldn't help but feel parched at the mouth.

"Let's eat."

Lin Yan said softly.

This family feast proceeded in rather silence.

After eating and drinking to satisfaction.

Brother-in-law's family also stayed here temporarily.

The Lin family's four siblings sat idly, reminiscing until late night.

By late at night, the sister finally couldn't handle the fatigue, and went to rest with the second sister-in-law.

The three brothers looked at each other in silence.

After a long while, Lin Miao said: "Having come to this point in life, being able to reunite once more, elder brother has no regrets."

"..."

Since the family feast began, Lin Lei had been taciturn, finally speaking in a bitter voice: "I've been cultivating the exorcism technique, with Lord Qingling as the foundation, up until now, I have some relatively clear understanding of this world..."

Pausing, he looked at Lin Yan, and said softly: "Yan, can the dead really be resurrected?"

"Yes!"

Lin Yan said firmly, "Next time, I will definitely bring our living elder brother home for a reunion!"

"You are now the Saint Master, regardless of my abilities, knowledge, or status, I am inferior to you and cannot assist you."

Lin Lei lowered his head, silent for a moment, said in a muffled voice: "I will guard the home, you all must come back alive."

"Certainly!"

Lin Yan said this, reached into his bosom, and took out the elixirs obtained from the Holy Alliance.

There were quite a number of elixirs, beneficial for the soul and Primordial Spirit, which could assist second brother's cultivation.

Also, there were many elixirs used for Martial Arts cultivation, left for the three children.

There were still some elixirs, which were also greatly useful for those who had not yet cultivated.

"These things, second brother, you distribute them."

Lin Yan said this, continued: "Additionally, for the expansion of the new city, according to the previous reward from the Observatory, our family has a piece of land sufficient to build a large house. I have a sum of Silver Tael here, you let Liu Zun Temple, based on the art of Feng Shui, construct it for us..."

Lin Lei nodded, added: "Actually, to have a place to live in the current world, is already quite fortunate."

"The house's large area, invisibly, also prevents some from having a place to live."

He said this, continuing: "In the past, my intent was to only take a smaller scale lot, but now thinking back, our family has many members, it's better to all gather in a large house, to be closer."

"The house must be a six-courtyard mansion at least!"

Little White Ape poked its head out, seriously said: "In a few more years, I alone will need to marry eighteen concubines, not enough space..."

"You talk too much!"

Lin Yan tapped the monkey's head.

Then he looked at the elder brother.

Lu's mana maintained this far, was already almost at its limit.

The elder brother looked at High Willow City, looked at the Lin family's new house, smilingly nodded.

Lin Yan retracted the Heavenly Eye on his forehead, receiving his soul into the Inner Realm Divine Domain, storing it in the Ice Hell, as if slumbering within the Time Forbidden Technique.

Only the two brothers remained in the scene.

After a long time, Lin Lei softly asked: "When are you leaving?"

"Leaving the city at dawn!"

Lin Yan said, continued: "Time is pressing, many things have not been left behind, but at the Spirit Duke's Blessed Land, I have deposited all my current knowledge, instructed him to compile it into a book! Xiaoyue's Martial Arts talent is not bad, in the future, upon entering the Blessed Land, she can receive my inheritance..."

Saying this, Lin Yan looked towards the Inner City, said: "Since it's been hard to come back to High Willow City, I should offer three incense sticks to Liu Zun."

——

Liu Zun Temple.

The Great Temple Priest initially thought his life's limit was near.

The old thoughts of Liu Shen had begun to revive.

The Divine Intent Seeds of Tribulation Ash were manifesting abundantly within the city.

And the Great Temple Priest often perceived changes in his thoughts, so he had prepared his affairs, appointing the next Great Temple Priest by spring next year, then ending his life before becoming a Tribulation Ash.

Unexpectedly, the Saint Master returned and offered Liu Zun three incense sticks.

With Lin Yan's current cultivation, and the present Great Luck, these three incense sticks, as the protective thought of incense for Liu Zun, began to gain ascendance, repressing the old thoughts of Liu Shen anew.

"Your growth rate is simply unprecedented."

Liu Zun sighed, said: "Yet to reach the level of Human Martial Saint, you already possess such abilities. When you become a Human Martial Saint... you will surely have the potential to break the Ultimate Heaven!"

"Presumably, in the not-so-distant future, you will become the third generation Human Emperor, wielding power equal to the contemporary Divine Spirits."

"However, two generations of Human Emperors have already fallen in the tides of time."

"To surpass two generations of Human Emperors, to be stronger than the current Divine Spirits, to ensure the longevity of the Human Clan's civilization and prevent its extinction by external forces."

With this said, Liu Zun stated: "The Great Luck upon you is actually thinner than before."

With Great Luck, one can avert calamities and disasters, ensuring peace and smoothness in all matters!

Having experienced multiple assassination attempts, Lin Yan in fact, every time escaping danger, was the consumption of his Luck.

But to Lin Yan, every expenditure of Luck, bringing growth to his cultivation, wasn't that another form of utilizing Luck?

"I am going to attack the Demon Domain!"

Lin Yan looked at the Divine Spirit before him, said softly: "Does Liu Zun have any instructions?"

"..."

After a pause, Liu Zun finally said: "The location of the Three Great Holy Lands, the middle region at the junction of the three families, is actually the most dangerous... You must avoid this place, otherwise, even if you have Great Luck, it may not keep you alive!"
