Chapter 658: Chapter 388: When I Return, I Shall Subdue the Demon Domain!_2

"After the Ancient Immortal’s Injunction emerged, I already knew that you would have to take this journey sooner or later!"

Mr. Lu paused, hesitated to speak, and finally sighed deeply.

Lin Yan looked toward the north and said softly, "The Demon Domain attacking Taixuan Divine Mountain—there’s likely a faction within the Holy Alliance stirring the waters as well, isn’t there? Facing the threat of annihilation, there’s not much room for negotiation..."

"It’s just speculation, with no evidence."

Mr. Lu said solemnly, "As things stand, the Demon Domain’s attack on Taixuan Divine Mountain has nothing to do with the Holy Alliance."

Lin Yan said slowly, "If it’s unrelated, then so be it. But if it is connected... this journey of mine will require my blade to be stained with the blood of my kin yet again!"

——

Xiao Li and the others remained as guests within the defensive perimeter of the Heavenly Kui Flag, quietly awaiting the Saint Master.

This time, when Lin Yan arrived, none of those present dared to show the slightest arrogance.

They were in the presence of the young yet powerful Saint Master!

Xiao Li felt the pressure immensely.

Especially during the midday banquet, when his improper words led to an unpleasant ending, causing the Saint Master to leave in frustration, his heart grew even heavier.

Consequently, he reprimanded more than ten others and emphasized the importance of the Saint Master to the current Holy Alliance.

Whether it was the Saint Master’s New Technique that could eliminate hidden dangers or his embodiment of Great Luck, both were crucial to the Holy Alliance.

In fact, within the upper echelon of the Holy Alliance, there was a faction of leaders hoping to bring back the Saint Master as the new Master of the Holy Alliance!

However, the personnel dispatched by this faction had almost all perished in the Demon Domain, with none reaching Taixuan Divine Mountain.

"Earlier, Xiao Li was indeed at fault, but never would Xiao Li dare to show any disrespect to the Saint Master!"

Xiao Li stepped forward, a figure of the Creator class, immediately bowing deeply.

He truly harbored no disrespect for the Saint Master.

He was merely born within the Holy Alliance and thus had an inescapable arrogance toward the barren lands of the south.

He considered it a mere pond—too shallow to foster a dragon!

South Mountain Sacred Land, with its mere Three Prefectures of land, could scarcely nurture the Saint Master, this venerable deity!

Yet he believed that his remarks were actually a form of high regard for the Saint Master.

Only after the Saint Master left in annoyance and upon introspection did he realize his grave mistake.

The customs and traditions of South Mountain Sacred Land were utterly different from those of the Holy Alliance.

"..."

Lin Yan cast him a glance and said, "Have you reached a decision?"

Xiao Li was momentarily surprised but quickly understood the meaning behind the Saint Master’s words.

He lightly cupped his hands and said in a low voice, "The New Technique created by the Saint Master is the most significant Magic Method in the history of the Human Clan!"

"If the Saint Master were to bestow the technique upon the Holy Alliance, our high-ranking members would no longer be at risk of losing control during Deceit Night."

"Thus, the upper echelons responsible for safeguarding the regions under the Holy Alliance would remain stable, and under their command, thousands of Human Clan members would also find security."

"Over the passage of time, the Human Clan would inevitably achieve peace and stability."

"This is a blessing for countless generations!"

Xiao Li made no effort to conceal his desire for the New Technique, speaking with sincerity: "As long as the Saint Master is willing to grant it, the Holy Alliance will not dare refuse whatever the Saint Master demands!"

Mr. Lu lightly stroked his beard, thinking to himself: "This man is straightforward; while others haggle and criticize flaws, he spares no effort in offering praise!"

Lin Yan looked at Xiao Li and said, "The original intent of the New Technique was to ensure the survival of the Human Clan, to ward off Deceit Night’s corruption, and to avoid harm by the Evil forces! Since the Holy Alliance governs a larger population, granting the New Technique... I shall agree!"

He paused and added, "However, as you can see, the current South Mountain Sacred Land is enduring tremendous pressure because of me, the Human Race Saint Master!"

"The Saint Master’s meaning is understood by Xiao Li."

Xiao Li spoke earnestly, "Before we infiltrated the Demon Domain, Prince Zhen Nan had already been deploying troops, preparing military supplies... awaiting orders from the Holy Alliance high command of the Divine Capital to strike against the Demon Domain!"

The Great Banner Master was overjoyed and asked, "When will the Holy Alliance high command issue the order?"

Xiao Li looked at the Saint Master before him and said, "The moment the Saint Master enters the Holy Alliance, he becomes part of the high command!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan said, "I can make a trip to the Holy Alliance! But..."

"Your concern is the pressure currently on Taixuan Divine Mountain?" Xiao Li immediately understood, speaking thoughtfully.

"Correct." Lin Yan nodded.

"Xiao Li and the others can remain here to assist the members of Taixuan Divine Mountain in repelling the Demon Domain’s assault."

"Not enough! The Great Saint of Beishan has already awakened, and my South Mountain Sacred Land’s Night Watchers have reported...," Lin Yan spoke. "Surely your Holy Alliance is not entirely ignorant regarding the Demon Domain, is it?"

"What do you mean?" Xiao Li hesitated.

"Tonight, let Prince Zhen Nan mobilize his forces to intimidate the Demon Domain!" Lin Yan said calmly.

"It can be done!" Xiao Li agreed without hesitation, nodding immediately.

"You’re in a position to decide this?" Lin Yan raised an eyebrow.

"My master was the former Master of the Holy Alliance and is currently one of the thirteen Supreme Elders."

Xiao Li explained seriously, "I represent the Holy Alliance on this trip!"

He paused before continuing, "Traveling to the Holy Alliance requires passing through the Demon Domain."

"And the Demon Domain’s fierce assault on Taixuan Divine Mountain is, after all, for the Saint Master."

"Even if the Saint Master does not bring it up, Prince Zhen Nan must surely stir things up in the Demon Domain, creating chaos to shield the Saint Master’s journey through it."

Xiao Li added further.

But at that moment, Mr. Lu interjected, saying, "This matter is of utmost importance; if its movements are exposed, it will be like walking into a trap."

"We should wait a few more days!"

Xiao Li said, "After us, there are twelve more groups of elites planning to pass through the Demon Domain... they will serve to escort the Saint Master!"

He paused before continuing, "We’ve suffered heavy casualties on this mission, but we have managed to identify relatively safe routes."

"Good!"

Lin Yan said, "I’ve spent consecutive days slaying enemies from the Demon Domain; it’s time to take a moment to rest! You all will assist in guarding Taixuan Divine Mountain... tonight, I expect to see Prince Zhen Nan launch his attack on the Demon Domain to relieve the pressure on Taixuan Divine Mountain!"
