I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night
Chapter 604 - 364: The True Killing Game!

Chapter 604: Chapter 364: The True Killing Game!

City Guard Mansion.

The atmosphere was utterly stagnant.

The headless corpse lay on two wooden planks.

Though Chen Long was dead, his eyes were wide open in rage, oozing blood from his seven orifices.

And his headless body was stripped of clothes, revealing blue scales covering more than half of his body.

Clearly, when he was slain, his body had only a few scales, and his head was like an ordinary person’s.

"..."

The Great City Guard’s face was solemn.

At this very moment, he should have been welcoming the Saint Master, hosting a feast to entertain and refresh him.

But with the sudden transformation of Chen Long’s corpse, he dared not delay and hurried over.

Both Deputy City Governors and the two Deputy Commanders from the Observatory had also arrived here.

However, from the temple’s side, all twelve temple priests claimed to be too tired and needed to recuperate, so they didn’t come.

"When did it start?" the Great City Guard asked with a frown.

"When he was just brought in, we stripped his clothes and found scales on his body, but half an hour ago, it seemed there was one more scale."

The Document Chief recording on the side whispered, "At first, we thought it was a mistake in recording, so we added one more scale... But when the amended record was about to be sealed, we found there was another new scale, and up to now, he has fifteen more scales."

As the voice fell, this Document Chief looked up, pointed at Chen Long’s left chest, and said, "Earlier when the Great City Guard inquired, this scale was not here yet."

"Something’s off with the temple." Deputy City Governor whispered, "Facing such a change, they would know better how to handle it, yet they dare not come."

"Could it be the Mountain God..." The Deputy Commander from the Observatory showed a hesitant expression.

"Impossible! The Mountain God just consumed a lot of incense and is in old contemplation, while the new thought is very active now!"

The Great City Guard frowned, stepping forward.

Another Deputy City Governor approached him, whispering, "Things here are too bizarre for us to discern for the moment. Since the temple isn’t stepping in, should we invite the Saint Master over?"

"I agree with the Deputy City Governor."

The Document Chief responsible for the records said, "The living Chen Long was slain by the Saint Master! How could the strange behavior of a dead Chen Long concern the Saint Master?"

The Great City Guard felt slightly hesitant.

The Saint Master had already taken action, killing the peak Chen Long.

And yet, a mere corpse placed at the City Guard Mansion has transformed, inciting fear, and they need to invite the Saint Master again!

Rubbing his forehead, he felt it might be too troublesome for the Saint Master, which wasn’t the proper way to treat a guest.

More importantly, it made the upper echelon of Yuan Shan City appear too incompetent!

One more thing, the Saint Master was too young!

At a young age, his cultivation had achieved great success, creating new techniques!

Such a person would undoubtedly devote all his energy to cultivation and the creation of new techniques!

Currently, there’s a discourse rising that the Saint Master is not a murderer but someone who understands his abilities through fighting and thereby extrapolates the direction of new techniques!

In his eyes, the Saint Master is a highly powerful combatant, a Sage with profound insights into technique creation, but due to age, not necessarily erudite!

Faced with such a strange event, the Saint Master might not grasp the ins and outs.

In this situation, inviting the Saint Master, should he find himself helpless, wouldn’t it impair his dignity?

This is not what a mature superior should do!

Thinking of this, the Great City Guard then instructed, "Invite the Saint Master over!"

A mature superior?

What’s the use if you can’t solve the problem?

——

The person tasked with notifying the City Guard Mansion hadn’t been gone fifteen minutes before encountering the Saint Master with the Commander en route.

Meanwhile, this morgue was already sealed off both inside and out.

With a knife as a pen and True Qi as ink, a Formation was inscribed.

This was the handiwork of the Great City Guard!

He was a peak Qi Refining Realm expert!

But also a person of great expertise in Formations!

"I also hail from the Holy Land; prior to serving as the Great City Guard of Yuan Shan City, I was a steward in the Array Formation Hall."

As he laid down a new Formation along Chen Long’s corpse, he looked at the crowd and said, "My greatest aspiration in life was to have children, so I didn’t cultivate the Supreme Profound Dao to Saint Technique, couldn’t become the leading True Master of the Holy Land... so I had to become a Great City Guard."

"..."

The Yuan Shan City Commander turned his head to look at Lin Yan and whispered, "This fellow has three wives and four concubines and fathered twenty-three children. When I first arrived in Yuan Shan City, I pegged him for corruption, abducting civilian women."

"Later, I discovered his wealth all came from the Taixuan Mountain Range."

"In his early years, he moved from the Holy Land directly to Taixuan Divine Mountain; after seven years of battle, he cultivated to the peak of Qi Refining, but one soul and one spirit were damaged, eliminating his path to Refining God and unable to bear the Heavenly Gang Flag."

"Fearing he would lose control over time at the forefront of the Deceit Night due to incomplete soul and spirit, he was transferred back to Yuan Shan City to serve as Deputy City Governor and, five years later, as Great City Guard!"

"It’s now confirmed that the expenses for his three wives and four concubines have all come from the salary provided by the Taixuan Divine Mountain frontline and the Great City Guard’s monthly salary."

"His wives and concubines were all attracted by his Silver, so there’s no question of abducting civilian women."

The Yuan Shan City Commander whispered, "I did want to arrest him, but he did not break the law, which is somewhat regrettable..."

"Why regrettable?"

Lin Yan frowned and asked.

"Because I’m a solitary person."

The Yuan Shan City Commander gnashed his teeth and said, "In the city, there are already more men than women, the balance of yin and yang is skewed, and this fellow marries three wives and four concubines... meaning six people can’t get wives."

In Lin Yan’s palm, the little White Ape couldn’t restrain its teeth-gnashing, thinking, "How infuriating! Shouldn’t such a person be sentenced to dismemberment?"
