I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night
Chapter 443 - 292: The Name That Can’t Be Erased [Second Update!]

Chapter 443: Chapter 292: The Name That Can’t Be Erased [Second Update!]

East Mountain Prefecture Master and Mr. Lu continued forward, while the number of Human Clan Martial Artists behind them had increasingly diminished.

As these people risked their lives to scout the path, they gradually completed the exploration of the periphery of the Forbidden Land that East Mountain Prefecture had been unable to explore for sixty years.

Having initially completed an exploration of the entire periphery of the Forbidden Land, they had preliminarily delineated the layout path of the formation beyond the land.

"Sixteen hundred steps ahead is the location of the formation’s nucleus."

"Based on the Forbidden Land sealed by the Li Shen Sect, the position of the formation’s nucleus should be in a large hall, known as the Yin Yang Bureau."

"It’s rumored that the Forbidden Land sealed by the Li Shen Sect contains seventy-two bureaus, with the Yin Yang Bureau being the foremost."

"But here, the Zhao Ye people who entered the depths of the Forbidden Land have only explored twelve bureaus."

East Mountain Prefecture Master closed the book in his hands and said in a deep voice, "No matter what, according to the direction of the formation, the nucleus is at that location!"

Saying this, he turned his head to look at Mr. Lu and could not help frowning, "Ever since you had Master Fu Zhong send that Treasure Bead, you’ve been worried and somewhat distracted."

"I come from being a temple priest and am adept at divination."

Mr. Lu slowly said, "In terms of combat power, though I have cultivated my Primordial Spirit, I am not on par with someone like you who has entered the Refining God Realm through martial discipline! But in the aspect of sensing fortune and avoiding disaster, I am relatively more perceptive..."

As he said this, he looked towards the depths of the Forbidden Land and said gravely, "Just now, I felt unease, mostly because Master Fu Zhong was slow."

"Who?"

East Mountain Prefecture Master suddenly drew his sword and pointed it towards the path they had come from.

The killing intent surged, and he was about to swing his sword light.

But he heard a shout from that direction.

"Do not strike, Master gave me orders to come here!"

The source of the voice was elusive, flitting from left to right, and at that moment, it seemed as if thousands of voices spoke simultaneously.

"Hold on..."

Mr. Lu slightly raised his hand and flicked his finger.

Mana flowed forward, forming a barrier.

With a loud bang!

An apparition slammed into the mana barrier and fell to the ground.

Upon closer examination, the group realized it was a small ghost.

Lv Tang immediately wielded his long halberd, ready to point it at the small ghost.

"Wu Chang is certainly not a Cultivator, how come there is a small wandering ghost by his side?"

"I have a token! The flag of the Observatory!"

The small ghost quickly held up an object.

"..."

Lv Tang’s halberd suddenly paused.

It was indeed the token from the Observatory.

It bore the small flag marking of Linjiang Station!

He knew that the Little White Ape, which usually assumed Lin Yan’s appearance, was indeed known as such.

"It seems this is the first Yin Soul subdued by Lin Lei."

Mr. Lu spoke up, "Come over here..."

He slightly stroked his beard and his eyes carried an assessing look.

Lin Lei did not originate from a formal Martial Artist background; his cultivation method was similar to that of a temple priest, but wholly different.

Yet, since he hadn’t cultivated for long, the number of Yin Souls and ghostly demons he could suppress and subdue must be limited.

If it were Lin Lei himself, perhaps he would be satisfied to subdue a Yin Soul to manipulate as he saw fit.

But Lin Yan was not an ordinary Martial Artist and was a rare strong individual among the Human Clan of the Three Prefecture.

Lin Yan highly valued his second brother Lin Lei’s future and, with him by his side, would naturally disdain ordinary ghostly spirits.

Since Lin Lei had subdued this small ghost, this ghost must possess an extraordinary aspect.

Recalling earlier, not seeing a ghostly figure but hearing hundreds of voices sounding at once,

Mr. Lu probably understood this small ghost’s capabilities.

Though it appeared weak, its speed seemed astonishingly fast.

"I’ve seen the elderly sir!"

The Rapid Ghost stepped forward, bowed deeply, and then immediately brought up Lin Yan’s situation.

"Indeed..."

Mr. Lu’s expression grew solemn, and he furrowed his brows deeply.

He whispered, "Using that Judge’s eyes to track their three people’s Qi Mechanism? The Book of Life and Death... the Judge’s pen... it seems I still underestimated Duke Murky Spirit..."

After a pause, Mr. Lu asked, "How much longer until the Great Year’s physical body is completely sealed off?"

The Rapid Ghost quickly said, "Not even a moment longer."

Mr. Lu furrowed his brows, "Lin Yan wants to enter deep into the Forbidden Land to tear the Book of Life and Death apart?"

The Rapid Ghost nodded, "Yes, he wanted to find out if you, old sir, already had a strategy in place; they wouldn’t take the risk otherwise."

"I’ve already told him that the matters concerning this Forbidden Land are unclear and hard to plan in advance," Mr. Lu continued.

Mr. Lu calculated with his fingers, but it still appeared hazy, and he said with a frown, "The effect of the Book of Life and Death is only limited to the records in ancient books and the legends among the living... exactly how it functions, no one can fully understand!"

He looked towards the East Mountain Prefecture Master and asked, "Sixteen hundred steps, we’ll arrive very soon, how long will you need to reverse the formation?"

"An hour!"

East Mountain Prefecture Master pondered and said, "The Great Year’s physical body will be sealed off in just a moment, and once they enter, they cannot come back out."

Mr. Lu looked at the Rapid Ghost and asked, "Entering from there, can they exit through the Yin Yang Hall?"

"Yes, actually it’s not far; they’re just slow."

The Rapid Ghost said so, whispering, "However, if they go to tear the Book of Life and Death, it will be too late."

"It’s too late now."

East Mountain Prefecture Master shook his head and said, "The flesh of Tai Sui is about to be sealed off. Even if you allow Wu Chang to take the risk, by the time this little ghost delivers the message... the gap will have already been closed!"

"Who are you looking down on?"

Rapid Ghost said angrily, "It took me less than thirty breaths to get here, even with the need to find my way."

In fact, the location of the gap was quite far from here.

But Rapid Ghost was very fast. Following Fu Zhong’s directions and the traces left by Mr. Lu along the way, he caught up in just thirty breaths.

If it was on the return trip, without stopping to recognize the route, he could return to Lin Yan’s side within twenty breaths.

"Then tell him, this old man can’t predict the fortune or misfortune of this place, but since they have encountered the Ghost God’s technique, if they don’t take this risk, there might be future troubles."

Following Mr. Lu’s voice.

Rapid Ghost immediately responded, transformed into a gust of wind, and vanished in an instant.

And the atmosphere at the scene became extremely tense.

Mr. Lu withdrew his gaze and sighed, "I’ve seen many mysterious techniques spread among the Human Clan, witnessed many demons’ Bloodline Divine Powers, and I’ve seen many Evil Spirits’ Mysterious Techniques..."

"I even understood techniques that originated from the Old God!"

"But to be sealed in fate by a mere glance, such a method..."

Mr. Lu said somberly, "Is truly unfathomable as a ghost or god!"

Lv Tang, holding a long halberd, spoke with slight worry, "Maybe I should also help?"

"You can’t go."

Mr. Lu’s gaze fell on the East Mountain Prefecture Master and said, "Reversing the Formation will surely bring changes... When that time comes, the Lord will no longer be able to resist those changes, and you’ll be needed!"

East Mountain Prefecture Master did not respond but fell silent for a moment before speaking, "Within two hours, they have to come out from inside the Yin Yang Bureau. You need to receive them."

He didn’t speak too clearly.

But Mr. Lu and Lv Tang had already understood the deep meaning.

If it took longer than two hours, the Formation would seal, and they wouldn’t be able to come out.

—

The flesh of Tai Sui was almost finished sealing.

Rapid Ghost quickly returned, bringing Mr. Lu’s intentions.

"An hour to enter from here and exit from the great hall of the Yin Yang Bureau. Even if you hurry, it might not be possible."

Son Fu Zhong frowned slightly and said, "Moreover, we are going to confront the Judge."

Deep within the Forbidden Land, countless dangers lurk.

Even those in the Refining God Realm might not come out alive if they forcefully enter the inner parts of the Forbidden Land.

Not only did they need to leave alive, but they also had to tear apart the Book of Life and Death, all within an hour.

Son Fu Zhong sighed, "The hope is slim!"

Lin Yan fell silent for a moment, then said, "Even if the hope is slim, there is still a glimmer of hope."

He looked at Fu Zhong and said, "If we go, there is a chance of survival! If we don’t... it seems like we might live another seven days, but in reality, our life span has already been consumed today, extending our life merely means lingering for seven more days like the living dead!"

With his voice falling, Lin Yan shouldered the Divine Bow and gripped the Zhao Ye Blade tightly, saying, "Just now, the Judge’s single eye captured the Qi Mechanism of the three of us. It was my negligence!"

"Son Fu, I’ve implicated you by being affected by the Ghost God’s technique."

"I will personally go to slay the Judge and resolve the curse of the Book of Life and Death!"

"You protect my brother, and come out of the Forbidden Land alive!"

Pausing for a moment, Lin Yan slowly said, "Even if I can’t come back, I will surely tear apart that Book of Life and Death!"

As Fu Zhong was about to speak.

Lin Lei had already coiled a long whip in his hand, holding a Jade Scroll in his left hand.

"Brothers fight tigers together, and fathers and sons go to battle," you said a moment ago.

"..." Lin Yan stopped in his tracks, shaking his head slightly, "I am confident that I can destroy the Book of Life and Death!"

"But you are not sure that you can finish everything within half an hour and come back alive." Lin Lei, holding the Jade Scroll, said calmly, "Since this is Netherworld territory, the weight of a Soul-binding Envoy cannot be underestimated! Moreover, Rapid Ghost said that among the ghosts inside, only a few have physical bodies... the remaining Divine Souls will be restrained by hell whips!"

"If I can’t come back, you need to return to High Willow City." Lin Yan said solemnly.

"If I don’t go with you, you won’t be able to return to High Willow City." Lin Lei sighed.

"..."

Lin Yan placed his blade back into its sheath and walked back.

With a thud!

A hand chop directly knocked out Lin Lei, handing him over to Fu Zhong, slowly saying, "Take him and go to meet Mr. Lu, wait for me in front of the Yin Yang Bureau’s great hall."

"Understood."

Fu Zhong nodded slightly, then said, "His life is in my hands now! My life is in yours!"

"Good."

Lin Yan pointed at Rapid Ghost and said, "You come with me. Once I’ve slain the Judge, you’ll show me the way to the Yin Yang Bureau’s great hall."

—

Deep within the Forbidden Land, inside the Soul Cleansing Pool.

"They’ve entered."

Duke Murky Spirit opened his eyes and murmured in surprise, "Using Uncle Xianyou’s Divine Seal, borrowing the Judge’s eye, they managed to attach his name to the Book of Life and Death... He is not as powerful as I had imagined!"

"I originally anticipated that he had completely refined the Blessed Land’s Golden Lotus and became a New God of this era, but it seems he has not yet achieved that."

"It’s puzzling how he managed to get out of the Blessed Land."

"However, once he gets here, everything will become clear."

Thinking this, Duke Murky Spirit then heard the Judge’s voice coming from a distance.

"This Lin Yan’s name can’t be erased!"
