I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night
Chapter 716 - 411: Setting the Rules of the Holy Alliance with a Divine Blade!

Chapter 716: Chapter 411: Setting the Rules of the Holy Alliance with a Divine Blade!

Thousands of arrows flew, runes blossomed, radiant brilliance illuminated the skies.

Each arrow was like a meteor, tearing through the Sky Dome.

Thousands of arrows fell like stars, raining down over the entire Mountain King Manor.

At this moment, Lin Yan’s Inner Realm Divine Domain had already spread across the Mountain King Manor.

If these were ordinary arrows, he could shatter them into dust the instant they entered the Divine Domain with a single thought.

But these arrows were clearly forged from special materials, their runes glowing brightly—no ordinary projectiles.

In an instant, Lin Yan retracted the Inner Realm Divine Domain.

The Night Light Saber emerged out of thin air!

The Wind Cloud Winged Saber!

Saber light radiated in all directions!

The Divine Skills of the Weapon centered ’Soldier’ character erupted!

Each saber light struck down upon each arrow!

In the blink of an eye, the world fell once more into darkness, engulfed in silent stillness!

Lin Yan extended his hand, plucked a broken arrow, examining it in his palm, his brow lifting faintly.

From the patterns carved upon this arrow, he discerned similarities to the "Supreme Demon-Sealing Nail" runes.

Even if it was not directly modeled after the Supreme Demon-Sealing Nail, it must have been derived from an ancient Divine Artifact and extrapolated into such runes.

The arrow’s material was already extraordinary, and with such runes etched upon it, its sharpness became unmatched.

If he hadn’t promptly retracted his Divine Domain just now, under the storm of a thousand arrows, he would have been riddled with holes.

If it were another Creation God, repairing the damage would take no less than three to five decades.

"It seems they came well-prepared..."

Lin Yan clenched his hand, the Night Illuminating Divine Sword landing firmly in his grasp.

He gazed forward and stated nonchalantly, "If this grand display was meant to hunt down the Mountain Lord, I could understand it... sparing your life wouldn’t be out of the question!"

"The Mountain Lord has protected the people of these lands, his merit immeasurable. Why would my Demon Suppression Department ever target him?"

The newcomer, armored, wielding a long spear, and carrying a saber at his waist, stepped forward.

Beneath his helmet, his fiery eyes burned bright as he spoke slowly, "You intruded upon the Mountain King Manor, slayed the Mountain Lord—a benevolent Demon King who safeguarded our Human Clan—and brought calamity upon a thousand innocent lives. Truly, your sins are unforgivable. Surrender yourself and await judgment!"

"This esteemed Thousand Households Lord..."

The Cloud Stepping Colt cried out loudly, "We hail from Southern King City. The matter of Mountain King Manor bears deeper truths..."

It was about to explain.

But before the words could settle.

The Thousand Households from the Demon Suppression Department spoke coldly, "Surrender and be bound. If you have grievances, express them in the prison, and have them reported to the Holy Alliance... should everything prove truthful, justice will be done for the innocent!"

He turned towards Lin Yan, his tone icy, "Resist, and you will be executed on the spot!"

"..."

The Cloud Stepping Colt’s countenance faltered slightly.

Little White Ape patted the Taiji Yin Yang Bottle, muttering, "Forget it. Your Southern King City’s name means nothing here. Just get out of the way... I’m going to deal with them!"

The Cloud Stepping Colt hurriedly whispered, "Holy Ape, these are Demon Suppression Department officers—they’re not bound by the Royal City’s jurisdiction. Acting in accordance with Holy Alliance laws, every word and deed aligns strictly with regulations, without trespass of any kind!"

"Their refusal to show courtesy is simply adhering to the rule of law."

"If we directly rebel, it would be a violation of Holy Alliance law, confirming our destruction of Mountain King Manor, and even the truth would become irreversibly muddled!"

"Perhaps invoking the name of the Saint Master might hold more sway than our Prince’s authority. Please don’t be hasty; let me first rationalize the matter to this Thousand Households."

Before the Cloud Stepping Colt could finish speaking.

Little White Ape sneered coldly, "You think they don’t understand? They’re clearly targeting my master!"

The Cloud Stepping Colt trembled, a flicker of realization sparkled in its eyes—it seemed to finally understand.

Simultaneously, countless Demon Suppression Department warriors converged, roughly numbering over a thousand.

Most of the Demon Suppression Department personnel were elites from the military, battle-hardened and capable of taking on hundreds single-handedly!

Though there were only a thousand, their battle formation was mightily imposing!

The Thousand Households leading the pack harnessed the power of the military array, his Qi Mechanism surging higher and higher.

The faint glow flowing across his armor caught Lin Yan’s attention.

With a single glance, Lin Yan realized this armor was no less formidable than the Near God Bright Armor worn by Qifeng Prefecture’s Deputy City Governor.

The legacy and profound knowledge of the Holy Alliance far surpassed that of South Mountain Sacred Land, exceeding in artifact refining capabilities by several orders of magnitude.

"Surrender yourself. If you are truly innocent, I will deliver fair justice!"

The Thousand Households spoke calmly, "To slay a Half-step into Saint Mountain Lord—your skills clearly stand out—but you are no Human Martial Saint... After killing the Mountain Lord, how much strength could you possibly still retain?"

He drew closer atop his steed, speaking with detachment, "Seeing as you seem to have suffered some injustice, I am willing to give you a chance. However, if you resist, you are defying my Demon Suppression Department, defying the Holy Alliance, and mocking the laws of the Human Clan!"

"Such a heavy accusation."

Lin Yan pondered briefly and stated, "Do you recognize me?"

The Thousand Households of the Demon Suppression Department’s expression remained indifferent, his silence implying affirmation.

Anyone capable of easily slaying the Mountain Lord would be considered a top-tier Human Clan expert within the Holy Alliance’s domain.

Near Southern King City, the only unfamiliar individual with such ability was none other than the Saint Master!

Although the Saint Master’s affairs in Southern King City hadn’t been deliberately publicized, they were far from secret.

"If you claimed to not know me, I might have listened to your explanation."

Lin Yan spoke softly, "You proclaim your willingness to offer me a chance for justice, yet in reality, you aim only to have me submit obediently and then execute me on the spot."

"I’ve heard tales that the Saint Master is barely twenty years old, a youth of limited experience. If you could deceive me with a few choice words, saving yourself effort, wouldn’t that be ideal?"

The Thousand Households of the Demon Suppression Department chuckled lightly, evidently dropping all pretense, and said disdainfully, "But if I can’t deceive you, relying on my thousand-man military array, coupled with the Demon Suppression Department’s Supreme Treasure, killing one fatigued young man shouldn’t prove too difficult..."
