I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night-Chapter 1254 - 660: World Suppressing Army? Private Troops?

"Those peers who are inferior to me practice the Kaiyuan Creation God Skill one by one, while I, who surpass them, am not qualified to cultivate it."

"They will become the pillars of the Human Clan in the future, while I will always be a hidden danger to the Human Clan."

Elder Gao grimly said, "Tell me... Should you die or not!"

"So you voluntarily became the Tribulation Ash?"

Lin Yan sighed, walked forward, placed his hand on his head, and said softly, "Was I wrong to create the Kaiyuan Creation God Skill?"

"..." Elder Gao fell silent.

"I am willing to spread the Kaiyuan Creation God Skill throughout the mortal world, was I wrong?" Lin Yan asked again.

"..." Elder Gao lifted his head, his expression changing.

"A New Technique governing the world, determining the eternal fate of the Human Clan, should I seal this technique for you?" Lin Yan said slowly, "Or should I, for you, in the next era, announce this technique again? Should all those Martial Artists of your generation who are inferior to you meet your same fate to satisfy you?"

"I..." Elder Gao opened his mouth.

"The Kaiyuan Creation God Skill must appear in the world. Whenever it emerges, there will always be those who miss the opportunity."

Lin Yan said, "I sympathize with your plight, but ultimately fate plays with people..." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

As his voice fell, Lin Yan sighed, "But because of your dissatisfaction, you allied with thirty-two Old Gods, participated in disrupting the Holy Alliance, and set up plots against me again... Regardless of your reasons, you committed a capital offense."

Elder Gao fell silent.

"Today, you can either be sent to the Holy Alliance for trial and ruin your reputation."

Lin Yan said, "Or die by my hand, with the public claim that you perished in Deceit Night, allowing you to retain the dignity of a Holy Alliance Elder, and your family will not be oppressed."

Elder Gao couldn't help but clench his hands.

Lin Yan continued, "Earlier, you said, a Saint Master should trial and sentence a person, so do you choose the latter?"

"..."

Elder Gao took a deep breath and finally said, "To die by the hand of the Saint Master would indeed be a great honor! Thank you, Saint Master, for salvaging my reputation and providing a path for my family."

"Consider it good karma for serving the Human Clan in your earlier life."

Mana burst from Lin Yan's hand.

A strong Creation Peak warrior of the Human Clan fell.

——

Outside the Southwest Marquis Residence, were thirty thousand World Suppressing Army.

But all thirty thousand have doffed their armor, awaiting disposition.

"Upon close examination, this thirty thousand World Suppressing Army is not part of the official million-troop Holy Alliance army..."

Li Chengdao entered the residence, looked at Lin Yan, and said softly, "The Magic Method of the World Suppressing Army is top secret to the outside! However, providing military supplies for millions requires the cooperation of each department of the Holy Alliance..."

"In truth, if a few in the upper echelons of the Holy Alliance Supreme Pavilion hold key positions in various departments, they would have enough authority to uncover the details of the World Suppressing Army."

"Regarding selection, training, deployment... Military formations, weapons, armor, and other methods, these secrets wouldn't bypass the true upper echelons of the Holy Alliance."

"The thirty-thousand World Suppressing Army outside is the private army of a Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Holy Alliance!"

"They are outstanding Martial Artists from various cities, recruited into the army under the pretense of the World Suppressing Army by Holy Alliance orders."

"They all believed themselves to be the true World Suppressing Army!"

"They also thought they were sent to Southwest City under Yi Feng's military orders."

Li Chengdao spoke as he came to this point, softly saying, "This time, we've harvested greatly."

——

This harvest is indeed not insignificant.

Despite consuming a large amount of incense.

But ultimately a Heavenly God was eliminated, four great Old Gods were annihilated, and tens of millions of Evil Qi were harvested.

More importantly, it intimidated the ten directions of Old Gods, initially stabilizing the situation of the Human Clan.

As for internal matters, Lin Yan managed to lure out numerous significant figures, capturing them all in one net.

One Vice Alliance Hierarch, thirty thousand World Suppressing Army.

The various cities, the Tribulation Ash and Celestials stirring up troubles, all began to reveal themselves.

And those ambitious Human Clan individuals with a decade of evil deeds, fearing the Saint Master's retribution, also participated in this affair, showing their hand.

The Demon Suppression Department followed the clues, investigating one by one, pinpointing the culprits behind the scenes.

Those daring enough to conspire against the Saint Master were all from the Holy Alliance high ranks.

"It's a good harvest. Whether you can dig deeper depends on your Demon Suppression Department's ability."

The Alliance Hierarch's silhouette blurred, having existed for nearly ten years in Yin Spirit form, hiding long in the Old God's Magical Objects, not daring to appear in the world for fear of being corroded by strange energy.

But over time, it too was influenced by the Qi Mechanism of the Old God's Magical Objects.

He sighed and said, if the Saint Master does not return, in another thirty years, he, this Master of the Holy Alliance, would be transformed by Old God's Mana, perceiving himself as a reincarnated Divine Spirit.

"Understood."

The newly appointed Supreme Commander of the Demon Suppression Department's Main Hall was from the Upper Heaven.

He was one of the Human Martial Saints released along with Li Chengdao by the Saint Master.

Among the Human Martial Saints in the Upper Heaven, his cultivation was the lowest.

Because he was the youngest.

He didn't wait to shatter the Nine Heavens, nor did he wait until his lifespan was almost exhausted to borrow the rock left by the "Emperor's Master" to seal himself.

He started using the Sleeping Technique in his youth, waiting for future generations, waiting for the arrival of the Saint Master.

Fortunately, he waited through.

In ten years, he was only a step away from breaking through the Nine Heavens.

"Cultivate diligently. Back then, your cultivation was not considered high, and coming from the Upper Heaven, appointing you as the Commander of the Demon Suppression Department's Main Hall brought me considerable pressure."

The Alliance Hierarch spoke, saying aloud, "They believed that people from the Upper Heaven aim to usurp the authority of the Holy Alliance, to replace them... You must make them know that you, a Human Martial Saint of the Upper Heaven, possess greater means."

"Actually, I have a question."

The Commander of the Demon Suppression Department's Main Hall raised his eyebrows and said, "You once could not control the Holy Alliance, establishing three Vice Alliance Hierarchs to check each other, allowing the Tribulation Ash and Celestials, aren't you afraid the Saint Master will hold you accountable?"

"The so-called Celestial, in essence, are mortals like you and me who are exceedingly arrogant. If one day, we become too conceited, we are Celestials too."

The Alliance Hierarch sighed and said, "And with the revival of All Gods, the growth of Tribulation Ash is unavoidable! So these two powers have become uncontrollable..."

He raised his head and said, "So I could only wait for the right moment, capture everything in a single net. This time is just right, turning their scheme against them, following the vine to the melon, and clearing it thoroughly."

The Commander of the Main Hall thought for a moment, then asked again, "Aren't you afraid it might go awry? What if the Saint Master truly dies? What if the Saint Master only reemerges in another sixty years, a hundred years, a thousand years?"

"I've read in the ancient texts of the Upper Heaven, during the Red Nether Era, the Emperor's Master appeared for more than ten years."

The Alliance Hierarch said, and then added, "Back when the Heavenly Tribulation descended, old ancestor Li once told me that the Saint Master is the Emperor's Master."

The pupils of the Commander of the Main Hall contracted tightly.

Obviously, he was unaware of such secrets.

"Thus, the Emperor's Master appeared during the Red Nether Era for over ten years! The Saint Master's disappearance should also be around ten years only!"

The Alliance Hierarch said helplessly, "If the Saint Master is truly dead, or it takes a long time for him to show up, there's nothing we can do! In these ten-plus years, I've done all I could to control the situation... But even with the Upper Heaven joining the Holy Alliance, it's impossible to completely change the circumstances."

He spoke to this point, smiling, "But with the Saint Master's return, it proves I succeeded."

——

Southwest City.

Lin Yan looked at the Southwest Marquis kneeling on the ground and said lightly, "You mean you long knew of my identity but cooperated with this Elder Gao, using their scheme against them?"

"It's the Hierarch's instruction."

The Southwest Marquis said with a strange expression, speaking lowly, "He wants to begin purging the internal scourges of the Holy Alliance in Southwest City, borrowing the name of the Saint Master..."

Speaking to this point, the Southwest Marquis kowtowed and said, "In any case, this old one desecrated the name of the Saint Master, and asks for the Saint Master's punishment!"

"Even if there's punishment, it should be to the current Master of the Holy Alliance, not you."

Lin Yan chuckled and said, "The thirty thousand outsiders have been trained to the standard of the World Suppressing Army."

"You tell me how many in the upper echelons of the Human Clan train a batch of private soldiers for themselves by such means? Or train a batch for family powers?"

"These private soldiers are not necessarily inferior to the true World Suppressing Army."

"They think they charge into battle for the Human Clan, yet do not know they have become blades in someone's hand."

"The thirty thousand concealed World Suppressing Army are but part of it."

Saying this, Lin Yan continued, "Let the Demon Suppression Department continue to investigate, we can't allow those willing to fight for the Human Clan to become blades in the hands of some greedy people!"

Li Chengdao responded.

And Lin Yan again said, "Yi Feng becoming the Commander of the million World Suppressing Army did surprise me."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengdao remained silent for a moment, then spoke lowly, "Actually, commanding today's World Suppressing Army behind the scenes is Yi Qian from back in the day... He possesses the Sleeping Technique, derived from the Emperor's Master's Magic Method."
