I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night
Chapter 565 - 346: The Predicament of the Li Shen Sect! The Supreme of the Three Prefectures’ Tribulation Ash!

Chapter 565: Chapter 346: The Predicament of the Li Shen Sect! The Supreme of the Three Prefectures’ Tribulation Ash!

Southern edge of Qifeng Prefecture, along the coastal boundary.

The tsunami roared like a thousand beasts stampeding.

Li Shen Sect’s gaze remained unchanged.

The invisible Sword Qi quietly dismantled the fierce winds and waves ahead.

The fine sea breeze brushed across his cheeks, his hair fluttering.

In these short days, his temples had turned gray, adding to his aura of weariness.

Yet, on his forehead, there was a faint starlight imprint, hidden within, like a phantom third eye.

"How long do you plan to hold out here?" The white eagle on his shoulder, speaking human words, said this.

"It should be almost time."

Li Shen Sect looked indifferent: "I have constructed a sword array defense line along the boundary of the Sea Domain, stretching hundreds of miles, to fend off the evils of the sea, causing them to either die, be injured, or retreat..."

"Only Xuan Venerate, with his ancient Divine Beast bloodline, carrying the Old God’s Magical Objects, broke through my defense line!"

"Xuan Venerate is originally a Demon King within the Sea Domain, one of its overlords!"

"Now, among all the Demon Kings of the Sea Domain, he is the only one to have broken through my defense... No doubt he has become more renowned amongst the evils of the Sea Domain recently!"

"As long as Xuan Venerate dies in Qifeng Prefecture, the endless evils from the depths of the vast ocean will not dare to act recklessly, attempting to take down the Saint Master."

Li Shen Sect said, stroking the sword in his hand, "When that moment arrives, there’s no need to guard this coastal defense line any longer."

The white eagle seemed to realize something, suddenly enlightened: "So back then, when Xuan Venerate broke the line with the Supreme Treasure, you didn’t intercept but let him enter Qifeng Prefecture... waiting for him to die in Qifeng Prefecture?"

"It’s a pity it implicated the Sea Cliff Pure Land."

Li Shen Sect said this, speaking slowly: "But I have no other choice; after all, I cannot guard the Sea Domain indefinitely... I can only elevate Xuan Venerate and then let him die in Qifeng Prefecture to deter those beyond-tier evils in the Sea Domain."

The white eagle quietly looked at him, suddenly sighed softly.

Li Shen Sect guarded this hundred-mile coast, repelling many powerful evils of the Sea Domain.

Even the towering waves, the roaring tsunami, were pushed back by Li Shen Sect with a single sword.

In just a few short days, his temples turned white, his gaze turned cold.

Compared to before, he seemed less spirited by about thirty percent, less flamboyant by about thirty percent, lacking some of the vibrant confidence of a top-tier prodigy of the Human Clan.

In a trance, there was a little more majesty, and thrice the coldness.

The recent use of the Starry River had a greater impact on Li Shen Sect than anticipated.

Thinking this, he heard Li Shen Sect’s cold voice.

"What news did you bring back from Feng City?"

"The Human Clan’s Saint Master has exterminated the Great Elder and destroyed the Ten Thousand Poison Evil Prison," said the white eagle.

"That’s expected; there’s no need to mention it," Li Shen Sect said, "I was asking about unexpected changes!"

"The Old God of Feng City was awakened, the Feng City Temple used incense to put it back to sleep, nearly failing." The white eagle spoke again, "Still, the Commander of the Prefecture City Sky Observation Department anticipated this and brought incense from the Wutong Temple, finally succeeding."

"And what else?" Li Shen Sect’s expression remained indifferent.

"Changes occurred in Lord Qingling’s Blessed Land, urgently lacking incense, and the Saint Master took the risk to go to the Blessed Land alone to worship Lord Qingling, attempting to restore his sanity," said the white eagle.

"Very well," Li Shen Sect was finally somewhat satisfied, saying, "It seems Xuan Venerate is about to die, so be prepared to spread the news of his fall in the neighboring Sea Domains in a couple of days..."

"Hmm? What does it have to do with Xuan Venerate?"

The white eagle was a bit confused.

The great change in Lord Qingling’s Blessed Land involved Tribulation Ash’s plot and incense, leading to the Saint Master’s involvement, which was highly significant...

But amidst all these events, it seemed none were related to Xuan Venerate!

How is Xuan Venerate about to die?

Li Shen Sect did not explain, his face merely turned pale for an instant, suddenly coughing.

He wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth and asked, "Follow my instructions without asking too many questions... Were there any other unexpected changes in Feng City?"

"Yes, the Tribulation Burning Sect Leader of Qifeng Prefecture fell into the Heavenly Mechanism Banner Master’s trap and died to the east of Feng City."

The white eagle said this with a touch of sarcasm, laughing: "The Heavenly Mechanism Banner Master, skilled in predicting the Heavenly Mechanism, is the Think Tank of the Taixuan Divine Mountain defense line... For the Tribulation Burning Sect Leader to plot against him like this, it was reckless! His death is not undeserved!"

Li Shen Sect suddenly spoke, "The Heavenly Mechanism Banner Master is not good at frontal combat. I can imagine that after exterminating the Tribulation Burning Sect Leader, he would be too exhausted to head for Feng City! This Qifeng Prefecture’s Tribulation Burning Sect Leader’s death seems peculiar..."

The white eagle grew even more confused, asking, "What do you mean?"

Li Shen Sect said slowly, "If the Tribulation Burning Sect Leader could kill the Heavenly Mechanism Banner Master, it would be a great victory for the Tribulation Ash side! But now that the Tribulation Burning Sect Leader of Qifeng Prefecture died at the hands of the Heavenly Mechanism Banner Master, what do you think the situation is?"

"Of course, it’s a great defeat for Tribulation Ash!"

The white eagle said, "The esteemed Tribulation Burning Sect Leader of Qifeng Prefecture, killed by the Heavenly Mechanism Banner Master... How could there be any debate about victory or defeat? What’s the peculiarity?"

"Firstly, the highest leader of Tribulation Ash has never been part of the Human Clan! But rather an Old God!"

"Secondly, the current situation has not yet settled, how can we jump to conclusions?"

Li Shen Sect said slowly, "Maybe from the beginning, his plan was never to kill the Heavenly Mechanism Banner Master, but to entangle him?"

"You mean the Tribulation Burning Sect Leader sacrificed himself to delay the Heavenly Mechanism Banner Master?"

The white eagle quickly shook its head, saying, "No, the Heavenly Mechanism Banner Master encountered many powerful evils first, consuming a lot, and only then did the Tribulation Burning Sect Leader of Qifeng Prefecture come out to intercept and kill! If his initial plan was to die, why go to such lengths?"
