Chapter 663: Chapter 390: Night Watcher and People from Hometown

Outside Black Wind Manor.

The Little White Ape restrained its Qi Mechanism.

Lin Yan took a step forward and entered the manor.

His Primordial Spirit swept across, and he strode directly into a small hut.

Before the person inside could wake, he slapped them casually, knocking them unconscious.

Stepping forward, he examined the figure’s appearance and physique; with a twist of his body, he transformed into their likeness.

"This Transformation Technique... its tier is still too low. At best, even with Perfect Achievement, it only reaches a hundred units of Evil Qi."

Lin Yan thought to himself, "If someone at the Refining God Realm level draws near, they’ll easily see through it."

Thinking this, an idea surfaced in his mind, "The South Mountain Sacred Land and the lands of the Three Mansions may have methods for disguises and transformations, but even the highest tier among them isn’t as good as my Transformation Technique... The Holy Alliance gathers hundreds of Sacred Grounds, possessing ancient inheritances. This journey should yield quite a few methods."

The journey to the Holy Alliance is exceedingly far and fraught with danger. For this trip, with all its obligatory toil, he must obtain things unavailable in the South Mountain Sacred Land.

With this in mind, taking the form of the man, he pushed open the door and walked along the street.

Night had already fallen, and the people within the manor were all fast asleep.

Even within the Demon King’s domain, the captive Human Clan dared not venture outside at night.

He restrained his aura, walking briskly along the households.

At this moment, a window by the street suddenly opened. Someone spat outside, catching a glimpse of a shadow darting past. Startled, they nearly shouted.

But upon seeing the familiar face of the figure, they scowled instead and said, "Ah Gou, what are you wandering about for in the dead of night? Sure, Niu Er is chosen as a sacrifice, but he’s not dead yet! Eyeing that widow is one thing, but can’t you wait until tomorrow? If you anger the Divine Envoy, you won’t even know how you’ll die!"

"..."

Lin Yan flicked his finger casually.

The night owl’s eyes rolled back, and they fainted on the spot.

The Little White Ape in his palm popped its head out and tutted, "Master, this manor doesn’t seem like the swine pens they raise in captivity... There’s even ’knocking on widows’ doors at night’ happening?"

"The Bear King doesn’t merely seek to eat humans; it craves incense—pure incense at that."

Lin Yan replied, "These people worship It as a Divine Spirit. With utmost reverence and sincere devotion, their incense offerings become pure. If the people here were aware they were merely livestock in captivity, hopeless and filled with fear, it would taint the incense."

"I’ve heard that in Residual Prison Mansion, within the Extreme West Forbidden Land under Longevity True Monarch, a special town has been established."

"The progeny of Longevity True Monarch guards the land within a hundred-mile radius, ensuring that no demon or evil spirit draws near... Any demonic entities or evil spirits born in this sanctuary are cleared immediately."

"The people living in that town are better off than those in Qifeng Prefecture City."

"They have never even seen demons or evil spirits, only knowing the land beyond as the Forbidden Land, where those who venture out never return, except for the town itself, which is deemed a Sanctuary under Divine protection."

"With subtle guidance, the Human Clan there has relatively pure thoughts, making their incense exceedingly pure."

"Thus, those demons who raise captive humans even preserve the local customs and practices."

Lin Yan sighed and remarked, "In truth, they are no different from the people of Three Gods Valley."

As he continued walking, he stopped finally before a certain doorway.

Beneath the wooden door, on the left side near the mud wall, there was a blurry mark.

The mark of a Night Watcher.

"Who’s there?"

A cold voice came from within.

A man in his early fifties leapt up from his bed and grabbed the hatchet beside it.

"A fellow from your hometown."

The voice outside was indifferent.

"..."

The man’s eyes instantly turned red, and the hand holding the hatchet trembled uncontrollably.

"What is it, dear?" asked a woman on the bed, her voice groggy. "I think I heard talking outside?"

"It’s nothing. Just me dreaming aloud. Go back to sleep; the child will wake soon."

The middle-aged man spoke softly, gently caressing the woman’s neck before tapping it lightly at the nape, lulling her into deep sleep.

He quickly opened the door, staring at the figure outside, stunned: "Ah Gou?"

Lin Yan’s expression remained calm as he touched his face with his hand.

In an instant, his appearance transformed.

"You are?"

"An Inspection Envoy of the Three Mansions of Observatory south of Taixuan Divine Mountain, Wu Chang."

"..."

The middle-aged man was momentarily taken aback.

An Inspection Envoy overseeing the Three Mansions?

Inspecting all Three Mansions?

To his knowledge, the observatory system within the Three Mansions was relatively independent. Within each mansion, there might exist an Inspection Envoy, but never had there been such a post overseeing all three Mansions!

Lin Yan didn’t elaborate further and produced his Token.

"Greetings, Inspection Envoy!"

The middle-aged man immediately bowed deeply.

"Rise."

Lin Yan patted his shoulder and said, "Your cultivation in Blood Refining, within the Three Mansions’ domain, is enough to serve as a military Colonel. To be stuck in such a sunless place... you’ve suffered."

"Truth be told, my cultivation initially only tempered my flesh. Ironically, it was here where the Bear King, fond of consuming Martial Artists, fostered considerable growth... There are even humans at the Refining Essence Realm within the manor!"

The middle-aged man let out a bitter laugh as he explained.

He knew well, upon being assigned to the Demon Domain, that he would never make it back.

Once within the Demon Domain, he was nothing more than livestock bred for slaughter.

Who could tell when his day of being devoured would arrive?

He hesitated before saying, "I’ve overheard the Bear Demons guarding the manor mention that recently, the Demon Domain has launched an assault on Taixuan Divine Mountain... Inspection Envoy, what brings you here tonight?"

"Back when you were selected as a sacrifice and sent to Beishan Holy Land, do you still remember the location of Beishan Holy Land?"
