I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night
Chapter 183 - 135: The Change of Dayin River!

Chapter 183: Chapter 135: The Change of Dayin River!

Outside the Pure Land was originally a flat expanse.

But at this moment, it appeared like a lake.

The stars and moon reflected off the surface, creating a glimmering spectacle.

The water was no more than half a foot deep.

Yet it had submerged a large area of the plains.

"The waters of the Dayin River have spread over here,"

Lin Yan’s voice came from within the Pure Land, his expression calm, evidently already aware of the situation.

He looked at the seemingly serene surface of the water before him and said slowly, "How far is this Pure Land from the channel of the Dayin River?"

"About twelve li,"

Flag Commander Pan Yun said in a low voice.

"Water has crept over from twelve li away,"

Lin Yan walked to the edge of the Pure Land, squatted down, touched the water at his feet, and continued slowly, "It seems peaceful here, but the channel of the Dayin River is more turbulent than expected."

He stood up and said solemnly, "If the momentum doesn’t slow down, this place will soon see waves rise, eventually forming tides!"

"What’s more important is that we are twelve li outside the east bank of the Dayin River."

"With this raging momentum, the downstream channels must be facing torrential floods."

"Downstream is near High Willow City..."

Upon saying this, a weight seemed to settle in Lin Yan’s heart as he continued, "It won’t directly hit High Willow City, but the recent expansion efforts will certainly be severely affected!"

He then reached into his chest, tossed half a box of water-repelling cream to the Little White Ape, and then turned to everyone, "If the turbulent force of the Dayin River doesn’t diminish, this Pure Land will soon be flooded, and we won’t be able to stay here."

"..."

Upon hearing these words, everyone’s expression changed drastically, and a sinking feeling overwhelmed their hearts as they looked toward the darkness outside.

The eerie night had fallen, and darkness was everywhere.

Demons and evil spirits were endless.

Although they were still within a hundred li outside High Willow City, they wouldn’t encounter overly powerful demons and fierce evil spirits.

But for the two Flag Commanders and six subordinates, the night outside the city was still fraught with endless danger.

"That being the case, we need to investigate,"

The two Flag Commanders exchanged glances and then nodded.

Then they saw Flag Commander Pan Yun quickly open his bag and pull out a willow-branch Night Lamp.

But this lamp was very different from ordinary willow-branch Night Lamps.

The branches at its base came from Liu Venerate himself.

This was the Bright Night Divine Lamp!

"For this trip outside the city, each of us carries a willow-branch Night Lamp, a pair of incense candles, three sticks of burning incense, and two packs of incense ash,"

Flag Commander Chen Feng explained, "In addition, there are six Bright Night Divine Lamps; Flag Commander Pan Yun and I each safeguard one!"

The Bright Night Divine Lamp contained the divine might of Liu Venerate himself!

Once outside High Willow City, within a range of a hundred li, it still had a great effect!

Ordinary little demons and roaming evil spirits didn’t dare to come near.

Those with developed spiritual intelligence amongst the evil spirits and greater demons were also wary of the divine might of Liu Venerate.

And the really powerful demons and fierce evil spirits that were fearless before the divinity of Liu Venerate had mostly been sent beyond a hundred li by the massive incense offered at the Temple during the last occurrence!

"With the Bright Night Divine Lamp, walking nearby at night, we can just manage to protect ourselves,"

Flag Commander Pan Yun said so, then hesitated and emphasized, "Just as long as we don’t encounter that Jiaolong-transformed giant snake!"

When the Bright Night Divine Lamp was lit, he carried the lantern and turned to two subordinates, "Follow me for a trip!"

The two subordinates’ faces instantly grew graver.

Even with the Bright Night Divine Lamp, being tens of li away from High Willow City, traveling by night was still perilous.

Although they felt uneasy, they did not voice their concerns, and instead drew their swords from their scabbards and stood behind Pan Yun.

Since the light from the Bright Night Divine Lamp had limited range, it wasn’t suitable for riding horses to travel.

Moreover, the three men going there needed to stay close to each other.

"Let Lin Xiaoqi go,"

Lin Yan suddenly spoke up, suggesting this.

"What?"

The crowd was taken aback at this suggestion.

Lin Xiaoqi was, on the surface, the weakest in cultivation among those present.

In the night, even with a Bright Night Divine Lamp, it was doubtful he would return.

That’s why Pan Yun, without hesitation, had decided to take the Bright Night Divine Lamp himself and lead his two most capable men to investigate the situation of the Dayin River.

"He is skilled at scouting and will be very useful,"

Lin Yan said in a calm tone, "If you are worried, I can accompany you."

"Inspection Envoy, with your high status and power, how can you risk yourself?" Chen Feng, the Flag Commander, quickly objected, "Besides, with your superior cultivation, you must command and take charge here... If we can’t stay in this Pure Land, we’ll have to rely on you to lead us in the latter part of the night."

"Then let Lin Xiaoqi go to probe the truth,"

Lin Yan beckoned, calling the Little White Ape over.

At this point, no one dared to object further and had to comply with the arrangements of Inspection Envoy Wu Chang.

Pan Yun hesitated, then finally suggested, "Lin Xiaoqi’s cultivation is still shallow; how about I accompany him?"

"If you are worried, then go together,"

The Little White Ape grinned, saying to Pan Yun and the others, "Don’t worry, I won’t hold you back. If something goes wrong, don’t mind me, just run for your lives. The Inspection Envoy won’t blame you."

"To tell you the truth, the girl Ling He from Liu Zun Temple gave me a treasure, so even if I’m alone, I can keep myself safe in the dark."

"It’s you who must be cautious and careful,"

"Let’s go to the Dayin River and check it out,"

Saying so, the Little White Ape raised the precious mirror and took the lead into the darkness.

Being half-demon, or more precisely, not quite a living creature,

it did not attract the attention of any evil beings in this eerie night.

On the contrary, Pan Yun and his men, being warriors of the Human Clan with vigorous blood, were the ones who, in the night, most attracted the attention of demons and evil spirits.
