I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night
Chapter 382 - 263: Junior Uncle of the Holy Land, Great Guardian of the Pure Land

Chapter 382: Chapter 263: Junior Uncle of the Holy Land, Great Guardian of the Pure Land

Only today was the deadlock broken, all because Lin Yan’s ability exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Two days before, Lin Yan had acted as protector for Mr. Lu, even going so far as to slay the Vice Sect Hierarch of Tribulation Ash!

Therefore, the Fifth Elder arriving today is even more powerful than the Vice Sect Hierarch, Gao Hao!

But in those two days, Lin Yan had also mastered the Five Mountains Dragon Capture!

This is a technique from the Old Gods, not something that could be achieved through human effort!

Only Lin Yan, propelled by Evil Qi in his mastery of this technique, with his Golden Body Divine Power as his physical foundation, could display it!

No one expected that, in just a few short days, Lin Yan’s combat power would come close to the threshold of entering the Refining God Realm through martial prowess!

The people of Tribulation Ash did not anticipate this.

Even Mr. Lu did not see it coming.

Mr. Lu hadn’t expected that the Lin Yan of today could break out of this encirclement!

So, prior to this, where did Mr. Lu’s confidence in breaking the situation come from?

"How can you be so sure that I must have confidence?" Mr. Lu suddenly laughed.

"Today’s deadly trap does not seem to surprise Mr. Lu, to put it accurately..."

Lin Yan said, "Based on your elder’s calculations, you must have expected Tribulation Ash to set up an assassination plot on this inevitable route back to Qifeng Prefecture! Thus, you must have a strategy in mind to counter it..."

As his voice trailed off, laughter came from not far away.

"The world says that Wu Chang, the Inspection Envoy, is nothing but a brute, yet with overwhelming power, capable of sweeping across all directions!"

"It seems this reputation of ’bravery without tactics’ truly insults the name of Wu Chang, the Inspection Envoy."

"The junior that Lu brother values so highly is indeed extraordinary; even my own elder brother may not match your insight."

From the darkness emerged a silhouette.

Clad in a blue robe, with a coronet upon his head.

In his left hand, he held a bamboo scroll.

In his right, he toyed with a dagger, which, as his fingers twirled, danced like a dragon in his hands.

This man appeared to be in his thirties, with a fair complexion and no beard, a gentle demeanor, and a touch of scholarly grace.

Yet, his temples were streaked with white, and he bore a weary, weathered look, as if he had been through many hardships.

And around his body, a blue light flowed, clinging to his robes.

"A Cultivator of the Worshiping Evil Method?"

Lin Yan’s expression became grave as he showed a serious countenance.

"Don’t be too quick to judge based on a murderous aura; not everyone who practices the Worshiping Evil Method is from Tribulation Ash."

This middle-aged man lightly stroked the blue light on his body and said, "This is my late wife’s Yin Soul, not an Evil Spirit."

Mr. Lu made a slight gesture and said, "This is an assistant invited by Lu Changsheng, the Closed-door Disciple of the previous Saint Master and the younger brother of the current one."

"Now merely a discarded follower, a lost dog bereft of home, wandering the world, he dares not tarnish the glory of the Holy Land."

The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "The one consuming the Pure Land’s town object here is the Sword Lord!"

"He has obtained a Daluo Immortal Body, capable of withstanding Sword Qi, which has greatly improved his abilities."

"And with the Evil Spirit transformed from the swamp gas, possessing the power of Refining God, it suppresses the town object of the Pure Land for him."

"The town object within this Pure Land is a piece of blood-soaked metal."

"The Sword Lord seems to have methods to counteract the ’town object,’ easily incorporating it into himself."

"The next time he appears in this world, I fear he will become an extremely vicious and evil creature."

"When I arrived, he had already started to move away from here; obviously, he had no intention of striking at you, so I did not engage him in battle."

The middle-aged man said with a laugh, "If I had known earlier about the capabilities of the Inspection Envoy, I would have decisively gone to intercept him; perhaps I could have gained a divine sword!"

The Sword Lord itself had been a peak fiendish entity.

But his Sword Qi was sharp and strong, and among those of the same realm, not a few powerful beings from the Human Clan, demons, and evil spirits had perished by his hand at the pinnacle of the Qi Refinement Realm.

Now that he has acquired a Daluo Immortal Body, he surely has exceeded the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm and is not inferior to this Tribulation Ash Fifth Elder.

And the blood-soaked metal is no ordinary town object of the Pure Land.

Even with the initial integration, he must be close to the power of the "Refining God Realm."

This man was confident he could subdue the Sword Lord?

"Since I did not take action this time, the promise still stands; next time... you can notify me earlier, and I will hurry to assist."

The middle-aged man, holding the bamboo scroll behind his back, said, "However, I need to travel twenty thousand miles north for an old appointment and will be away for at least a month before I can return... During this period, take care of yourselves."

He looked deeply at Lin Yan and said, "To employ the Old God’s Technique with mere human strength, something unseen before, you surpass the rumors about you, which is excellent... Should I come close to becoming uncontrollable in the future, I will come to you, please be sure to chop off my head with a single stroke!"

Even the strongest of the Human Clan, on such a sinister night, would one day face the demise of losing control.

With that said, he gestured and retreated back into the darkness.

Lin Yan watched the darkness ahead in silence.

After a moment, he spoke in a grave voice, "This man is very strong, and the Evil Spirit he worships is also powerful."

"Among the upper ranks of the Holy Land, his talent is second only to the Saint Master."

Mr. Lu slowly said, "In that era, he was the shining new star of the Human Clan! Regrettably, his wife died, and using a great amount of Yin energy, he retained his wife’s Yin Soul and with the Worshiping Evil Method, forcibly kept her by his side, in violation of the Holy Land’s laws!"

Lin Yan frowned and said, "So he became a discarded follower of the Holy Land?"

Mr. Lu shook his head slightly and said, "No, although this act was against the Holy Land’s laws, with his status, he could have suppressed it! But later, the Holy Land designated him as the leader of the second lineage, to inherit the Token... beforehand, he was to practice the Supreme Profound Dao to Saint Technique!"

Lin Yan understood immediately and said, "He did not wish to sever ties and emotions, so he didn’t practice the Supreme Profound Dao to Saint Technique?"

"Exactly, he gave up the essential technique to join the upper echelon of the ’Holy Land,’ thus he couldn’t rise to that level."
