I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night
Chapter 77 - 75 Blood Refining Divine Blade

Chapter 77: Chapter 75 Blood Refining Divine Blade

In the old mansion.

Lin Yan returned to the ancestral home and took out Liang Hu’s inheritance.

After securing the silver taels, he opened the locked chest.

When he hid these items that night, he had split the lock and glanced inside.

Inside, there were no treasures, just two booklets.

He did not go through them in detail that night; he simply buried them because he anticipated that Liang Hu’s matter would stir up some trouble thereafter.

Those who often kill for treasure know that, after a crime, the stolen goods should be hidden first.

However, Han Commander, his direct superior, did not actively investigate the matter, and the Liu Family from the Inner City purposely suppressed it.

Liang Hu’s death did not cause much of a stir, and no one came to investigate Wu Chang, the Flag Commander at Linjiang Station, who was involved in the conflict that day.

"I had prepared some measures in vain, and I even hid the items back in the old house,"

Lin Yan opened the first booklet.

It contained a Magic Method that could enhance someone in the Inner Strength Realm.

But it required using demon blood and also led to more hot-tempered and insane consequences.

Lin Yan remembered that among the Observatory’s archives, there was an old method of using demon blood listed as forbidden, just like the Worshiping Evil Method.

The techniques recorded in this booklet didn’t seem like the Demon Transformation Technique, rather a simplified version of it.

This method was of no use to Lin Yan, but two letters were tucked inside the booklet.

Upon unfolding them, he saw clear text and firm handwriting that had a sharp edge to it.

——

Last night, the Observatory Tower transmitted a message: anomalous adjustments have appeared in three Boundary areas of the Outer City, east, south, and southwest.

According to my conjecture, it must be Divine Intent Qi Seeds that have already been born.

Now that the Divine Intent Qi Seeds are hidden, the greatest possibility is within the southern area of the Outer City where you reside, within the Outer Three Alleys.

The Outer South Government Office has already dispatched twelve men to search, and as a Flag Commander of Qingshan Alley, you are requested to assist.

——

The second letter, similar in handwriting to the first.

This time’s joint capture has yielded this Qi Seed, which has already been delivered to the Outer South Government Office, taken over by the Chief and transferred to Han Zheng, the General Flag Envoy of the Outer South Bureau.

Officially, this matter has been concluded.

You have contributed greatly, so I grant you this Magic Method.

This mysterious method, assisted by demon blood, can help you quickly break through the third tier of the martial path and advance to the Inner Strength Realm.

"Before colluding with this individual, Liang Hu was still at the second tier of martial cultivation, the Marrow Washing Realm; it seems this happened before last year,"

Lin Yan thought to himself as he continued reading.

——

One of my informants, before dying, sent back a message, seeing the Divine Intent Qi Seed split into three.

The remaining two Qi Seeds are now untraceable!

You must silence those aware of this matter and covertly find clues!

After the task is completed, there will be substantial rewards, helping you reach the peak of the Inner Strength Realm swiftly!

Once you reach that stage, there will still be an opportunity I will grant you.

——

"The Divine Intent Qi Seed, split into three?"

Lin Yan furrowed his brows, his heart secretly saying, "Cultivating Liang Hu to the peak of the Inner Strength Realm and then still offering another opportunity?"

"This individual must have significant influence, certainly no ordinary character!"

"Looking at the letters given to Liang Hu, although rewards are given every time, they all bear the tone of a superior commanding a subordinate."

"A high-ranking official of the Liu Family in the Inner City?"

With such thoughts, Lin Yan carefully put away the booklets and letters, planning to hand them all over to Han Commander later on.

Evidence of a collusion with a Flag Commander from the Observatory would surely be useful in Han Commander’s hands.

The individuals involved in this matter carry significant weight, and the merits assessed afterward would doubtlessly be substantial.

So it seemed, Liang Hu was not completely ruthless and heinous, for he had left a gift behind after his death.

"Is this one about sword skills?"

Lin Yan picked up the second booklet and flipped through a few pages, visibly astonished.

The first section was merely the most fundamental practice for swordsmen.

The second detailed the techniques of wielding the blade, summarizing nine styles of swordplay, all quite exquisite.

But the third section actually touched on the Refining Essence Realm.

It involved channeling the masculine Qi-Blood throughout the body, using essence as the foundation, staining the sword with blood, capable of breaking evil and exterminating demons.

"Ordinarily, martial artists are helpless against Evil Spirits."

"But a martial artist of the Refining Essence Realm can gather masculine essence, condensing heart qi and essence-blood on the tip of their tongue, possessing the power to break evil!"

"This is regarded as the sole method for those in the Refining Essence Realm to deal with Evil Spirits."

Thinking this, Lin Yan read carefully, "This third sword technique, it actually hasn’t strayed from the realm of ’Blood-breaking Evil.’"

"But it possesses a more exquisite application, perfected to the greatest extent, a single stroke could extinguish evil spirits a hundred steps away."

"What’s more important, this is a method to nurture the sword!"

As Lin Yan continued to read carefully, he increasingly found the method exquisite, among the sword techniques in the Refining Essence Realm, this one should belong to the upper echelons.

Initially, this method required the expenditure of essence-blood to slay demons and evil.

Yet, by a special magic method, the essence-blood could be kept from dispersing, adhering to the sword indefinitely, turning it blood red and increasing its killing power exponentially.

Eventually, the sword itself would possess the divine effect of breaking evil!

"For a martial artist of the Refining Essence Realm, although using essence-blood can break evil and destroy demons, it ultimately consumes one’s own foundation."

"Each use requires a period of recuperation before one can recuperate and restore."

"If overdone, it could damage the roots and hinder the progress of cultivation, possibly even affecting future advancement in cultivation."

"If a drop of essence-blood can remain on the sword permanently, it would be a lasting solution for any martial artist of the Refining Essence Realm, extremely cost-effective."

Lin Yan thought to himself, "I possess Demon Suppression Divine Power, even without expending essence-blood, I can break evil and destroy demons! However, using this method to cultivate a divine blade is also feasible!"

Already possessing Demon Suppression Divine Power, coupled with a treasure sword that carried ’the power to break evil’, its effectiveness was compounded, becoming even more powerful!

Moreover, this sword, once perfected, could slash enemies a hundred steps away with mere Qi-Blood!

Just this alone was enough to stir Lin Yan’s heart.

"No wonder Liang Hu valued it so highly, sealing and hiding away this sword technique."

Lin Yan thought to himself, "I wonder from where he had obtained such an opportunity..."

Liang Hu was a man of great ambition, scheming towards the Refining Essence Realm, even prepared with an appropriate sword technique for this level at this moment.

This sword technique, in the hands of any martial artist of the Refining Essence Realm, would undoubtedly be considered a priceless treasure.

Yet unexpectedly, Lin Yan had also obtained such a high-tier sword technique from Liang Hu.

"Life is indeed full of odd and wonderous twists of fate."

"Surely, when Liang Hu obtained this sword technique, he must have been overjoyed beyond belief, yet he never imagined that one day, it would serve to benefit someone else."

As Lin Yan continued to think, he returned to Linjiang Station, only to find the dark-faced giant, Lv Tang, already waiting inside the chamber.

"Mr. Lu is set to leave immediately for the Liu Venerate Temple."

Lv Tang’s face was extremely solemn.

"Mr. Lu is headed to the inner city, returning tonight after a night and day of travel, hasn’t rested much, and now must make another trip?"

Lin Yan frowned and said, "Hadn’t it been mentioned earlier to bring that woman from the temple, to await the results of her deduction, then send a letter to the Liu Venerate Temple?"

"This matter is extremely urgent, Mr. Lu must personally go to the inner city, enter the Liu Venerate Temple, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable."

Lv Tang spoke earnestly, "After tonight’s events concerning the mysterious light, though it will finally come to an end, you must be extremely cautious tonight!"

After finishing, Lv Tang promptly left.

Meanwhile, Chief Clerk Yang had already gathered intelligence from Liyang Trade and the elderly Mr. Lu.

At the same time, an urgent secret missive from the Outer South Bureau had also been delivered outside Linjiang Station.

"Slaughterhouse..."

Lin Yan looked at the handwritten letter from Han Commander, his expression becoming extremely grave.
