Chapter 729: Chapter 415: Worshiping the True Master of Demon Subjugation!

Holy Dew City, within the Temple.

Lin Yan rode the Cloud Stepping Colt to the front of the temple.

His attire and the steed beneath him were without any hint of concealment.

Regarding the Mountain King Manor case, including the details of Thousand Households Peng’s assassination, all currently classified as secrets of the Demon Suppression Department.

Until the Main Hall issues a warrant, this matter will not be publicized.

However, whispers of this have reached the higher-ups in Holy Dew City.

As Lin Yan approached, he saw the Divine Temple Guards had already assumed strict defensive formations.

The relic of the Human Martial Saint, condensed into a Golden Body nurtured by incense, is the cornerstone of Holy Dew City.

The temple guards were all elite; those in command were mostly from the Sacred Land.

A minority of leaders hailed from Holy Dew City itself, yet due to their exceptional talents, they were promoted... but even they were required to enter the Heavenly Furnace Sacred Land for three years of training before advancing.

"..."

Lin Yan sat atop the Cloud Stepping Colt, gazing ahead at the Temple.

His eyes passed over the temple guards, landing on the hustle and bustle of the common folk in the vicinity.

The Temple of True Master of Demon Suppression provides protection for the city’s citizens.

Its temple priest serves three functions: first, to dispel disasters and resolve misfortunes; second, to master divination, interpreting signs and solving doubts for the people; and third, to conduct blessings, offer fortunes, analyze marriages, and divine fates.

This is why incense offerings remain flourishing!

Lin Yan dismounted, blade at his waist, and walked forward.

He could sense that among the higher ranks of the Divine Temple Guards, anyone above the Refining Essence Realm as a Martial Artist instinctively turned their gaze to him, their eyes brimming with vigilance.

Yet for reasons unknown, they did not impede his entry to the temple for worship.

After Lin Yan added incense money and took three sticks of incense, he entered the great hall and finally laid eyes upon the Golden Body of the True Master of Demon Suppression.

That figure stood tall in the center of the hall, proud and resolute.

In his left hand, he held a sword; in his right, a golden orb.

The divine platform beneath his feet was forged into the shape of flames.

Left hand gripping the sword, right hand holding the elixir, and fire beneath him.

The Sword Dao, the Alchemy Dao, and the Fire Technique were the three Magic Methods the True Master of Demon Suppression excelled in during his lifetime.

"..."

Lin Yan silently gazed at the Human Martial Saint before him.

Though life had ceased within this body, its Qi Mechanism remained robust, its presence instilling fear across a hundred miles in unseen ways.

The body resisted decay, its form as hard as diamond, etched with numerous intricate carvings.

An external layer of golden "medicinal lacquer" coated the body, enabling absorption of incense vapors, integrating it into the carved patterns.

Holding the three sticks of incense in his hands, Lin Yan followed the crowd of citizens to the front of the hall, bowing reverently in worship.

"True Master of Demon Suppression, who devoted his life to the Human Clan and, after death, sheltering the common folk here, deserves the humble offering of incense from this junior."

Lin Yan planted the three sticks of incense into the censer, raised his head for a glance, and then turned to leave.

At the edge of the hall, an elder silently watched him.

A rich aura of incense wafted from the elder’s body.

The elder bowed deeply in salute.

Lin Yan did not respond, walking away steadily.

The elder watched his departing silhouette quietly, seeming to let out a sigh of relief, uttering softly: "He’s leaving the city."

"Master, if I’ve guessed correctly, this time’s live offering and activation of the Golden Body is likely to assassinate him!"

Behind the elder, a young man spoke in a low voice: "Earlier, you instructed the Divine Temple Guards to maintain strict vigilance, fearing that before the live offering could commence, this individual might attempt to destroy the Golden Body prematurely. But why..."

In reply, the elder softly stated: "Why didn’t the Divine Temple Guards block his entry, and why did I allow him into the hall before the Golden Body?"

The young man nodded in response: "Disciple does not understand."

The elder began to explain, speaking slowly: "The Demon Suppression Department’s Supreme Commander has already met with him."

For a moment, the young man was stunned.

The elder continued: "The Commander instructed him to leave Holy Dew City and not lose his life."

The young man instinctively asked: "Why? Didn’t this man kill the Thousand Households of the Demon Suppression Department, violate the Holy Alliance’s laws, and humiliate the department? He walks freely into the city, and the Demon Suppression Department doesn’t mobilize forces to attack him on sight. Disciple is deeply perplexed..."

"He said one thing to the Commander."

The elder explained: "He claimed that sparing the lives of the seven hundred-plus Demon Suppression Department soldiers—men who had fought bravely through Deceit Night, battling Evil to protect the Human Clan—was the right thing to do, for they did not deserve to die."

For a moment, the young man fell silent.

The elder added: "A person with such conviction would not choose to destroy the foundation of Holy Dew City!"

Hesitating slightly, the young man asked: "But allowing him to approach the Golden Body without interference—should he act, he might indeed obliterate the cornerstone of the city. Isn’t it too great of a risk to gamble on his character?"

With deliberation, the elder replied: "If you knew who he truly is, you wouldn’t see it as a risk."

The elder continued slowly: "Presently, those who have begun to deduce his true identity are already numerous..."

With this, the elder said aloud: "If the True Master of Demon Suppression himself, in his lifetime, knew of a figure such as this emerging in future generations—a man who would come here to offer incense—I believe he would be delighted! If I were to obstruct him, I would be unworthy of my title as temple priest, unworthy to be of the True Master’s bloodline!"

The words shook the young man, prompting him to quietly ask: "Who exactly is he?"

The elder shook his head gently, replying: "You’ll find out in the future."

Here, the elder let out another sigh, continuing: "When the day comes, after several years have passed, you will come to realize that this meeting today was the honor of your lifetime!"

——

Demon Suppression Department.

"Commander, the man first went to the temple and paid homage to the True Master of Demon Suppression. The old temple priest, following your instructions, did not obstruct him."

A young Colonel reported in a low voice: "After leaving the temple, he proceeded directly northward, and has just now left the city through the North Gate... per your arrangements, trusted brothers are already stationed thirty miles outside the North Gate, awaiting him."

"Good."

The Supreme Commander of the Demon Suppression Department in Holy Dew City directed his gaze northward, his expression grave.
