I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night
Chapter 267 - 191: I Am Old, Carrying the Blessed Land, Striking the Old God!

Chapter 267: Chapter 191: I Am Old, Carrying the Blessed Land, Striking the Old God!

The Great Elder of Tribulation Ash, before ascending the golden bridge and when he first met Lin Yan, had already shown signs of partial physical loss of control.

Falling into the Abyss under the intimidation of the Blood Slaughter God General, his body had completely lost control, bearing no semblance of a human form.

It was unclear whether Tribulation Ash contained a secret technique, or if it was because the sun and the moon had risen together earlier, receiving a baptism, but his mind had somehow remained intact.

However, at the tips of the thousands of tendrils, eyes gradually turned toward the nearby Lv Tang and Han Zheng.

At this moment, the Great Elder of Tribulation Ash could not help but slowly tremble all over.

From the fissures in his flesh, copious amounts of saliva seeped out.

It resembled drool.

Clearly, he had a vast craving for "living people."

For evil beings, humans are more delicious than any other creatures in the world.

The higher the cultivation, the more exquisite the delicacy.

It was both a delicious gourmet dish and a rare tonic of the mortal world.

"Are these two the prey gifted to me?"

"They are my left and right arms in High Willow City." Lin Yan’s expression remained unchanged as he slowly said, "Great Elder, please bear with it a little longer."

"Neither of them has received the Divine Blessing, and they are not of our kind," the Great Elder said aloud.

"Both of them harbor extreme hatred towards High Willow City and constantly seek to destroy it; they are also members of my Tribulation Ash," Lin Yan stated unflinchingly.

"Without the Divine Blessing, no matter how strong their cultivation or high their status, they do not enter the core of my Tribulation Ash," the Great Elder said longingly, "They’re not of our kind, no need for concern, let me eat them, and then you can subdue your subordinates."

"No, these two hold high positions in High Willow City, and they are of great use to me."

Lin Yan said softly, "I am currently known as the first prodigy of the Human Clan in Qifeng Prefecture. How can I be alone without confidants?"

The Great Elder trembled as he asked, "Then eat just one?"

Lin Yan’s expression remained as usual as he slowly said, "Great Elder, lead us to find Lord Qingling. Once we leave the ancient ruins, I will present you with a generous gift."

He clenched the knife in his hand, secretly gathering strength to strike.

Demon Suppression Divine Power was ready to erupt at any moment!

Despite the vast difference in cultivation, a sudden attack, aided by divine skills, would certainly severely wound the opponent!

If the Great Elder insisted on devouring Lv Tang and Han Zheng, then he would have to give this "generous gift" right now!

"This..."

The Great Elder seemed quite hesitant but finally spoke in a muffled voice, "Fine, let’s find Lord Qingling first, secure this town object, and take control of the ancient ruins."

"You, being publicly recognized as a paragon of the Human Clan, obtaining this ancient artifact, will certainly receive intense cultivation."

"Within my Tribulation Ash, you will be regarded as the next Sect Hierarch."

"This ancient artifact, publicly in the hands of the Human Clan, is actually in the hands of my Tribulation Ash, isn’t it?"

"Later, as a Blessed Land, many humans will come here, and by then, you need to send some people to me every now and then."

"Once you rise to power, with a steady flow, I will have no worries about Blood Food in the future."

The Great Elder of Tribulation Ash murmured to himself in a low voice, his voice sounding distant.

"Great Elder is far-sighted, impressive!"

Lin Yan responded perfunctorily, thinking, "This old demon even understands the principle of a steady, gradual process, not completely mad... If all those out of control in Tribulation Ash are like him, they are indeed tough to handle."

Then they saw the Tribulation Ash Great Elder, writhing his body, quickly approached the broken stele to carefully examine it.

Behind Lin Yan, the ever-vigilant Han Commander and Lv Tang exchanged glances.

In Lv Tang’s eyes, fear and anger mixed, and he could not help but inhale sharply, thinking, "Lin Yan, this kid, turns out to be a member of Tribulation Ash, hiding in High Willow City, greatly valued by Mr. Lu, sneaking into a high position at the Observatory, and becoming the first prodigy of Qifeng Prefecture!"

"Had I not seen it with my own eyes, I could never have believed it."

"Fortunately, today I have seen and heard with my own senses and know the truth."

"How can Lv possibly allow him to continue to hide among the Human Clan, endangering the grand plan of my Human Clan?"

As Lv Tang’s face changed, someone slapped him on the back of his head.

Han Commander spoke in a low voice, transmitting his words with True Qi, berating, "Are you brainless? You weren’t this stupid before. Did you encounter an Evil Spirit recently that Mr. Lu didn’t cure properly?"

Lv Tang showed a horrified expression, "You two are together!"

Before he finished speaking, Han Commander seemed to think of something.

Suddenly, he punched Lv Tang on the forehead.

Lv Tang’s eyes dazed for a moment.

Then he somewhat sobered up.

He looked ahead, frowning slightly, then pulling Han Commander aside, he whispered, "Something is not right, you first use True Qi to block out the sound."

Seeing this, Han Commander finally sighed in relief, secretly thinking, "It must be Mr. Lu’s doing... Mr. Lu used to hit his forehead with teacups, so he had this reason?"

After Han Commander dispersed his True Qi,

Lv Tang then looked around cautiously and said softly, "This Great Elder of Tribulation Ash, although his body is out of control, his mind is still there. We need to cooperate with Wu Chang and put on a play, absolutely must not make any mistakes!"

"We must also be careful about the order of action later. If anything seems off, we can’t hesitate for a moment, and must strike decisively!"

"Before I strike, I will roar to draw the Great Elder’s attention. In that instant, you must wield your knife!"

"His cultivation is too high, at the peak of Qi Refining Realm, and after losing control of his body, he is almost beyond the category of the Human Clan’s Qi Refinement Realm. If we cannot gain the upper hand and injure the opponent, we basically have no chance of winning."

"If your knife isn’t timely enough or sharp enough, we both will have to hold off this Great Elder to allow Wu Chang to escape."

At this point, Lv Tang frowned and said, "Scarface, what are you looking at me for? Don’t tell me you are afraid of dying now?"

"It’s nothing, I have my own plans."

Han Commander withdrew his gaze and thought to himself: "It’s as if he’s become a different person, could it be that my punch earlier caused an evil spirit to possess his body?"

Meanwhile, Lin Yan stood with his knife behind the Great Elder of Tribulation Ash.

He had originally planned to draw his knife and rid himself of this calamity.

But he felt that this Great Elder of Tribulation Ash might be of great help on the road ahead.

Moreover, the other’s body was split open, and from each crack, there were tentacles ... at the end of each tentacle, there were eyes.

Strictly speaking, the current body of this Great Elder of Tribulation Ash had no front or back.

"Earlier, when you became the County Magistrate and acted as the main officiant lighting three incense sticks, the path ahead was smooth with no obstacles."

"We did not offer incense sincerely, so it was not smooth for us to proceed."

"I have seen this broken stele before,"

The voice of the Great Elder of Tribulation Ash wafted as he said, "In the past, after crossing the golden bridge, I saw the phantom of the divine palace ... This is a stele from in front of the hall!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan contemplated and said, "So, as the Great Elder expected, not only did Lord Qingling fall down, even that Skyfire Divine Palace might have fallen into the Abyss?"

"Hard to say, we still need to move forward."

The Great Elder of Tribulation Ash replied in this manner: "Although I haven’t entered the main hall, from looking at the phantom of the divine palace, I have made several estimations about the periphery of the divine palace ... At least I have a general understanding of the outer structures!"

Its body writhed as it moved towards the darkness ahead, seemingly in worship.

The tentacles around its body bent down.

At the tips of the tentacles, all the eyes were pressed to the ground.

It resembled bowing down.

Moments later, the Great Elder of Tribulation Ash continued writhing forward: "Follow me, there are more than one door inside the divine palace ... With rough estimations, I can find the entrance to the divine palace!"

Lin Yan gave a meaningful look to Lv Tang and Han Commander.

Both of them promptly came closer.

"It seems as you expected, he can help us, and it’s fortunate that we didn’t act rashly and start a fight," Lv Tang said gravely, "But you must be careful later on. If something changes, you should flee first without worrying about us two."

"..." Lin Yan looked bewilderedly at Lv Tang, deeply shocked, wondering how Lv Tang could have changed so quickly?

"Don’t ask!" said Han Commander, "Let’s deal with the matter at hand first. Everyone who can ascend the golden bridge is extraordinary, whether they are from the Human Clan or evil beings, no one should be underestimated."

"We need to follow this Great Elder of Tribulation Ash quickly and find the entrance to the divine palace," Lv Tang nodded and said, "If we hesitate, others will catch up later and compete with us for the supreme town object."

"Let’s go!"

Lin Yan stopped pondering and prepared to move, planning to follow the Great Elder of Tribulation Ash deeper.

"You walk in the middle."

Lv Tang stretched out his hand to hold him back and said, "I’ll go to his right, scarface to his left, you stay a bit behind for an easier escape! This guy is not entirely trustworthy; we need to guard against his..."

After speaking, he nodded to Han Commander and followed up.

Lin Yan lingered a few steps behind, filled with confusion and astonishment as he watched Lv Tang’s back.

Is this really Lv Tang?

Could it be that falling into the Abyss, he was possessed by an evil spirit?

But he didn’t have time to think deeply, quickly catching up with his knife.

Soon, he saw the Great Elder of Tribulation Ash stop, his voice wafting over.

"That previous piece of the stele was a broken corner."

"This piece of the stele has some more complete inscriptions; the obstructing force will be stronger, and you, as the main officiant, need to worship it!"

"..."

Lin Yan stepped forward and looked ahead.

Indeed, there was a fragment of a broken stele.

This fragment of the stele was about three meters high and two meters wide, very incomplete.

From this fragment, Lin Yan suspected the complete stele must have been about nine meters high.

His gaze slightly focused, he looked at the inscription on it and mused, "Does the Great Elder know the meaning of this inscription?"

The Great Elder of Tribulation Ash said, "These ancient characters have been undecipherable for many years, incomprehensible in today’s era ... even those old people might not recognize them."

Lin Yan furrowed his brow and said, "So these characters might be even older than those old people’s era?"

"..."

However, though Lv Tang did not speak, his eyes momentarily brightened, he turned his head to look several times, unable to suppress a smile, seemingly pleased.

Subsequently, Lin Yan, in his role as County Magistrate, once again worshipped the stele.

An invisible barrier seemed to dissipate away.

The Great Elder of Tribulation Ash writhed and continued forward.

Lin Yan then stopped and looked towards Lv Tang.

Lv Tang’s lips moved slightly, and he followed up but kept his right hand behind his back, moving his hand in the air as if he were writing something.

I am old and carry the Blessed Land to strike at the Old God.

I wish to die to protect future generations and continue the survival of the Human Clan.
