I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night
Chapter 410 - 276: One Slash Suppresses Thirty Thousand People!_2

Chapter 410: Chapter 276: One Slash Suppresses Thirty Thousand People!_2

His tone was calm as he slowly said, "Consider me as a formidable enemy from outside! And you, merely a hostile power!"

His sword pointed at the crowd, sweeping across all directions.

His voice spread everywhere, resonantly loud.

"One thing! Submit to me, accept relocation, and receive the protection of a New God!"

"From then on, you won’t have to suffer from the erosion of the deceitful night, nor sacrifice your kin, nor offer your children and parents in exchange for peace!"

"If you agree, you will be properly settled!"

His expression emotionless, he calmly said, "If you don’t submit, kill!"

The sound echoed, causing everyone to gasp, fear chilling their hearts.

Over the years, many strong members of the Human Clan had claimed they would liberate Three Gods Valley.

But the people of Three Gods Valley never felt that they were living in dire straits.

They viewed the outside Human Clan as the great enemies who would destroy Three Gods Valley!

They didn’t need rescuing, they didn’t need these self-righteous outsiders meddling in their affairs!

But today, the opponent laid out one thing clearly!

It wasn’t about slaughtering the three Great Divine Venerables to rescue the people of the Three Gods Valley!

It was about being an opposing force, conquering Three Gods Valley, and capturing them!

Either submit or be killed!

That was the opponent’s attitude!

On the great river, a young man, appearing no more than twenty years old, stood alone, boldly upright.

With a sword in hand, he subdued tens of thousands!

"Three Gods Valley! Not threatened!"

Just then, a member of the Human Clan responsible for managing the incense, roared loudly, "Have you forgotten that our ancestors were exiles in the Pure Land, tossed aside by the people of various cities like ants? It was the three Great Divine Venerables who sheltered us, allowing our bloodlines to multiply, our branches to flourish, and our population to prosper!"

With a splat!

Before his words had fallen, he was beheaded with a single swipe!

Lin Yan had said all there was to say, not speaking any further, only holding his sword as he watched the crowd, and calmly said, "Blindly deluded, kill!"

"God slayer! You will not die a good death!"

Another person drew a bow and arrow, shooting it over, shouting, "Go die!!!"

The arrow shattered.

A flash of the sword!

Then a head fell to the ground!

Lin Yan’s expression remained placid.

The tens of thousands in Three Gods Valley couldn’t help but shiver.

The person was so young, yet he killed like cutting grass, beheading without even lifting his eyes.

Everyone had this thought in their minds.

If the entire Three Gods Valley refused to submit, it seemed he wouldn’t mind killing all tens of thousands here!

——

On the opposite bank of the great river.

Lin Lei had already packed his belongings and came to stand beside Mr. Lu.

Watching the scene on the other bank of the river, he felt awe.

He had seen his younger brother’s methods.

But he had never seen him act with such ruthless, indifferent ease when facing the Human Clan, killing people as though they were nothing.

"He does care."

Mr. Lu seemed to perceive something and said, "He has slain gods, and all those who venerate Divine Spirits have grown fearful of him! If he were lenient and gentle with the Human Clan instead, then ’the Human Clan’ wouldn’t fear him!"

"This will make tens of thousands of the Human Clan fear him, but once time passes, fear fades, turning into anger and resentment... This is karma!"

Lin Lei said in a low voice, "Incense is beneficial for cultivation, but karma only hinders cultivation, ruining his foundation!"

"So, one cannot simply subdue all beings with just a sword!"

Mr. Lu said with a smile, "Even those three Evil Spirits wouldn’t directly farm the people of Three Gods Valley, displaying the blood and oppression! They chose to present themselves as Divine Spirits, making the Human Clan willingly offer incense and sacrifices as ’protected’ lambs!"

At this, Mr. Lu stroked his beard and said, "Is my approach really inferior to those three Evil Spirits?"

As his voice fell, someone at the back of the crowd shouted loudly.

"There are ancestral teachings!!!"

The crowd all looked on as a Cultivator stood on a hill, raised his arm.

He tossed out a piece of paper.

An Evil Spirit outside his body swept a faint glow, projecting the words of the paper into the air.

Everyone’s gaze was fixed on the words hanging in midair.

"That is the handwriting of the first leader!"

"Yes! The first leader of Three Gods Valley, to this day, still has his calligraphic treasures in the valley temple... even the couplets at the temple and the scrolls inside are all done by his hand!"

"The first leader wasn’t he said to have passed away seventy years ago?"

"That is indeed my grandfather’s handwriting. There’s no mistake!"

Another person exclaimed excitedly, "If grandfather has spirit, it must be to guide us out of confusion, to show us the right path..."

Everyone’s gaze stayed on the manifesting words in midair, holding their breath.

——

I am the first leader of the Three Gods Valley!

From this day forth, all people of Three Gods Valley must offer incense daily without interruption!

On the first and fifteenth of each month, use the people in the valley as sacrifices to venerate the three Great Divine Venerables!

In these current times, our Human Clan is weak, sheltering under evil beings, venerating them as protective gods.

"The great leader, with his robust cultivation, led a group of the Human Clan to Three Gods Valley. After a hundred years under the protection of the three Great Divine Venerables, we have today’s prosperity!"

"Indeed, the great leader is the most loyal to the three Great Divine Venerables!"

"We just had thoughts of betraying the Divine Venerables to follow this god-slayer. How shameful!"

As the voices in Three Gods Valley grew louder, more people were ready to use their flesh and blood to oppose the enemy, firm in their faith in the three Great Divine Venerables.

Under the guidance of some in the shadows, their will seemed to grow even firmer.

However, at that moment, the words continued to appear, but the tone suddenly changed!

——

Originally, we were captured by the three great evil beings and bred in this valley!

Ever since, we have offered incense and worship day and night, using the flesh of our own kind as sacrifices and as Blood Food to barely prolong our miserable lives!

I hope future generations remember this disgrace and strive to become stronger!

The three great evils might seem protective but are actually breeding us!

In times of great disaster, we will certainly be abandoned!

Feigning compliance cannot be wholly trusted!

If there comes a day when our Human Clan gains power, I hope future generations will slaughter these evil beings to console the sacrificed souls of our ancestors!

The great leader’s text ended here!

The entire Three Gods Valley fell into silence!

Outcry followed; some cried bitterly, some yelled traitor, and others insisted the letter must be a forgery!

Some were utterly disheartened, ready to submit and struggle no more!

But all this could no longer stir any waves.

In the midst of the crowd, those who still shouted grievances for the three Great Divine Venerables, denounced the first leader as a traitor, and believed the letter was a forgery, showed hostility towards Lin Yan, were all executed!

Facing the Human Clan of Three Gods Valley, Lin Yan knew in his heart that they could not be judged by the standards of High Willow City’s people!

These people, deeply influenced by the three Great Divine Venerables and the temple high priests of Three Gods Valley, could become part of Tribulation Ash at any moment!

Therefore, he showed no mercy.

For mercy often leads to greater chaos.

Killing these people, who posed a great risk, would allow for a proper handling of the rest.

The first leader’s letter had shaken the remaining people’s belief in the three Great Divine Venerables, beginning to question the very purpose of the sacrifices held for so many years.

This was a seed. Once planted in the heart, the loyalty to the three Great Divine Venerables would be tainted with doubt, and the past faith shaken!

And the hostility toward Wu Chang, the resistance against the New God would also be greatly reduced by this seed, gradually leading to acceptance.

Even if this generation still could not turn away from their reverence for the three Great Divine Venerables and their complex feelings towards Wu Chang!

At least the next generation could rebuild their faith and stabilize their minds!

As the sky gradually brightened, dawn broke.

Lin Yan exhaled and sheathed his sword.

Not long after, people from all directions began to arrive.

They were people from Yanshou Pure Land.

Following them came the Qifeng Prefecture City Sky Observation Department, the Wutong Temple, and the City Guard Mansion soldiers.

From East Mountain Prefecture too, nearly a hundred people were dispatched.

They had been near the Pure Land close to Three Gods Valley since last night, waiting until dawn to clean up the aftermath.

"It is hard for me to imagine a person without a Divine Body, newly ascended to the Refining God Realm, along with a Qi Refining Realm pinnacle, an early Qi Refining stage, a small demon, and a mortal..."

Slowly an elderly man around sixty years old approached and said calmly, "With such a group, you managed to destroy Three Gods Valley!"

His gaze passed over Mr. Lu and landed on Lin Yan, slowly stating, "Wu Chang garrison commander, I have long heard of your great name!"
