I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

Cloud Crane Holy Land.

After enduring a great battle, this Holy Land was riddled with scars, almost half destroyed.

And Cloud Crane Great Sage was gravely injured and near death.

"I have been betrayed."

Cloud Crane Great Sage said weakly, with a hint of mockery: "But your Human Clan has also been betrayed by those scoundrels... In attacking the Demon Domain, in the end, only those scoundrels will benefit."

"I see it now; you partnered with them to ambush us, and in the end, you were just a discarded pawn."

Lin Yan approached, asking, "Who exactly are they?"

Cloud Crane Great Sage shook his head slightly: "I only know one of them is the so-called Great Venerable of the Heavenly Gate."

"Why do they not dare to kill you?"

The Supreme Commander of the Observatory in Qifeng Prefecture stepped forward, his expression solemn, speaking in a low voice.

"They fear the existence behind this Immortal God Arena."

Cloud Crane Great Sage had a mocking expression, saying: "Even if they destroy the Pure Land, it will disturb its dormant existence, and in the future, they might be held accountable by the Immortal Gods, let alone a Holy Land? I've heard that your Human Clan's Saint Master has destroyed more than one Holy Land... The Immortal Gods seeking revenge will not be just one!"

"What will happen in the future, we will see when it comes. The debt that the gods want from me, I ask you only about the present!"

Lin Yan spoke slowly: "They didn't ambush me here, but instead went to the so-called Central Immortal Mansion?"

In those days, the Holy Alliance consisted of hundreds of Holy Lands, forming an alliance by oath.

During that era, the Master of the Holy Alliance was just the strongest among various Saint Masters, not their leader.

Later, those three Holy Lands were destroyed in a day, the secrets within them have become hard for the Human Clan to know.

As for the Night Watchers who infiltrated and the spies in the Royal City under Prince Zhen Nan, they ultimately served as blood food, slaves under the command of evil, perhaps unable to keep their lives, let alone learn about these hidden secrets.

But regarding this, Lin Yan's heart had some vague clues.

Back then, the three Saint Masters fell on the same day at the junction of the three Holy Lands, which was also the central position of the Demon Domain!

Central Immortal Mansion!

Sacrificing to the Divine King!

Opening the mansion headquarters!

After a moment of silence, Lin Yan asked: "That day, the three Saint Masters fell at that location, were they really looking for death, or do you know any secrets?"

"Why should I tell you?"

Cloud Crane Great Sage snickered.

"Though I intended to kill you, ultimately it wasn't I who deceived you into this state, it was them!"

Lin Yan opened the Heavenly Eye on his forehead, speaking deeply: "Would you rather watch them gain opportunities or prefer I resolve the true enemy for you?"

"You are an enemy as well!"

Cloud Crane Great Sage's voice was slightly lowered.

And the might of Lin Yan's Heavenly Eye grew ever stronger.

He pushed the refinement of the Heavenly Eye to Perfection, its divine power like a prison, as if a True God had descended.

Cloud Crane Great Sage's eyes glazed over, paused, then said: "Before, your Human Clan controlled this land, and the three Saint Masters fell within, but they did not just suddenly perish... exploration of the Central Immortal Mansion has spanned at least a century!"

"Within it lies the secret to becoming a True God!"

"So regarding the secret of the Central Immortal Mansion, the three Saint Masters did not spread it, it was the hidden secret of the Three Great Holy Lands."

"I too, after succeeding the Cloud Crane Holy Land, found clues amidst the remnants of the halls, piecing together the incomplete records."

"In that Immortal Mansion sleeps Upper Celestial Gods who survived the great tribulations of the Ancient Era, they know the truth of the final calamity of the Ancient Era!"

"They are far beyond the Old Gods of today's world, and they hold the key for future life to achieve Immortal Godhood!"

"In legend, the second generation Human Emperor, God Emperor of the Underworld, received inheritance there, blessed by the gods, thus breaking the Ultimate Heaven, and breaking through the sixty-year shackle, nearly achieving Changsheng!"

"They seem to have obtained the Secret Technique to open the Central Immortal Mansion from some Old Gods in the world!"

Upon hearing these words, everyone fell silent.

Lin Yan's gaze tightened, saying: "To open the Central Immortal Mansion, is a sacrifice required?"

"Back then, the three Saint Masters sacrificed 120,000 humans to open the Central Immortal Mansion, but their greed was too great, inciting a Heavenly Punishment, and all perished!"

Cloud Crane Great Sage began to sneer, intent on mocking again, but saw Lin Yan's Heavenly Eye, under its divine might's awe, and became dazed again.

He sighed and said: "Allegedly, the Heavenly Punishment not only obliterated the three Saint Masters but also extinguished some Old Gods! In those days, the Old Gods among the three destroyed Holy Lands all suffered great damage, and some were even affected by the Heavenly Punishment, thus perishing..."

"Where does the Heavenly Punishment originate?"

Xiao Li, the Commander, asked, his expression slightly changed, speaking solemnly.

"Heavenly Punishment..."

Cloud Crane Great Sage remained silent for a moment, then said: "I have a millennium of Tao, but I have not personally witnessed the events of the past."

Lin Yan slightly closed his eyes, recalling Yuan Shan City.

Back at Yuan Shan City, Tribulation Ash had planned, almost triggering a Heavenly Punishment.

And that Heavenly Punishment appeared from nowhere, still causing him unease to this day.

"Saint Master..."

Xu Xi stepped forward half a step, paused, and then said: "The Three Great Holy Lands have broken, and we strive to cleanse all sides, this battle can be considered a great victory!"

Lin Yan did not respond, only looking into the distance, saying: "Sixty thousand elites, two Human Martial Saints, have been captured, taken to the Central Immortal Mansion, about to be sacrificed..."

"Saint Master!"

The Canyu Mansion Master said softly: "You have a bright future ahead, the Sacred Body is paramount, and in the future, you can sweep the world, establishing the Human Clan's grand fate!"

The white-haired youth gently touched the spine behind him, saying: "We are willing to proceed to the Central Immortal Mansion, scout ahead, and request the Saint Master to oversee and command!"

"The two Human Martial Saints, especially Great Saint Yi Feng, even they, with cultivation breaking the Eighth Heaven, failed. If you go, is it not going to your deaths?"
