I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night-Chapter 1320 - 692: The Truth of Life and Death! The First Incense of Ice City!

Ice City is also divided into Inner City and Outer City.

Under the lead of the arrogant young officer, the group entered the Inner City and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Throughout the journey, the eldest, Shi Wen, was full of worry.

Lin Yan understood his concern and also noticed the peculiarity of this city.

Whether in South Mountain Sacred Land or in the Holy Alliance, the highest leader of a city is usually referred to as the Great City Guard!

This title signifies the greatest duty of protecting the city!

Only a few powerful figures among the Human Clan, relying solely on their own strength, can establish a city to protect its people, qualifying them to be called the City Lord.

City Lord, master of a city!

Everything in the city is his private property!

He is the true master of this city!

"Logically speaking, in Ice City, with divine protection, and after so many years, the current ruler should be called the City Guard."

Lin Yan thought: "He appoints himself as the master of the city, seeing himself as the owner of this place! This person… perhaps is a Celestial!"

——

In front of the City Lord Mansion, a man in a blue robe stood with his hands behind his back, smiling.

Seeing him, Shi Wen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

He walked two steps faster.

With a crack!

The young officer suddenly lashed out with a whip.

"Insolence! You wild vagabonds dare to disregard the city rules?"

The young officer said coldly: "What use are you if you don't follow the rules? Someone, tie them up and expel them from the city…"

"You…"

The middle-aged martial artist behind Shi Wen was furious.

But the next moment, the young officer had already drawn his sword.

The atmosphere instantly became extremely cold.

"Commander Li, please calm down."

At this moment, the man in the blue robe raised his hand and said: "This old gentleman is familiar with me, and meeting an old friend inevitably brings excitement. Please, consider my face and spare him."

The young officer surnamed Li snorted coldly but ultimately remained silent.

Shi Wen sighed in relief, stepped forward a few steps, bowed, and said: "Mr. Liu, long time no see."

"Not so long, just a month's time."

The man in the blue robe said this, showing an apologetic look: "But while we are stable in the city, a month is not long. For those like you wandering outside, living feels like a year. I misspoke."

He said, stepping forward to help Shi Wen up, and said: "No need for such formalities."

"In terms of position, I have not received any title from the Holy Alliance, just doing odd jobs in the city, whereas you hold a true official position granted by the Holy Alliance."

"Also, in terms of age, you are my senior."

"I heard that in your early years you were fortunate enough to see the Saint Master of the Human Clan, which is truly enviable."

The man in the blue robe said, and continued: "By the way, where is Lord Han?"

"..."

Shi Wen's expression darkened slightly and said: "Not long ago, after a fierce battle, to protect us, he overexerted himself. He used a cultivation technique to recover, maintain his combat power, but showed signs of losing control afterward, and has since taken his own life."

"What a pity."

The man in the blue robe sighed: "To lose a pillar of the Human Clan for the sake of some common people."

Lin Yan's expression remained unchanged.

For some reason, since seeing the other party, a murderous intent kept surging in his heart.

Among the murderous intent, there was at times unwillingness, resentment, and anger…

And at that moment, a sense of fear and anxiety surged forth.

This originated from the sensations of the past.

Ice City indeed has significant problems.

——

Entered the City Lord's Mansion, registered in the records.

But to truly become residents of this city, they still needed to worship the Year-Ruling Grand Duke of Tai Sui.

Gaining the approval of the Year-Ruling Grand Duke of Tai Sui, only then would they qualify to live in the city.

"Please wait, after the luncheon, we will go to the Temple to venerate the Divine Venerable."

Mr. Liu said, and continued: "However, entering the Temple to burn incense cannot be done empty-handed…"

Shi Wen seemed to have anticipated this, taking out an object from his bosom, and respectfully handed it over, saying: "This Old God's Magical Object is a relic of Lord Han, awarded for his merits in early years by South Mountain Sacred Land."

"Well, well."

Mr. Liu nodded with a smile, took the Old God's Magical Object, and said: "In that case, I'll use this to report to the Temple and request incense for you to offer to the Divine Venerable."

The banquet was still being prepared.

Lin Yan and others waited there.

By this time, Lin Yan finally looked at Shi Wen and said: "Following you all here, I was fortunate enough to enter Ice City, thanks to your presence."

Shi Wen waved his hand and said: "We are all Human Clan, as long as you are not a Tribulation Ash or Celestial, I should protect you! The world is too chaotic; for you to reach the Refining Essence Realm is truly not easy. If you can grow, your future achievements could be limitless, not inferior to Lord Han…"

Hearing this, Lin Yan felt slightly moved, and following the lead, he inquired about Lord Han and then about Mr. Liu.

Outside Ice City, Shi Wen had some guard towards Lin Yan.

But once inside, considering the bond of traveling together, he treated him as a companion and did not conceal anything.

After all, entering the city together and taking root in the future, they would need mutual support. Shi Wen, feeling his age, wanted to befriend such a Refining Essence Realm for the sake of the younger generation.

Then Shi Wen spoke in detail.

Over the years, Han Liuzhen and Shi Wen led a group of refugees, fleeing like headless flies.

With their skills, they might not be completely safe in the Deceit Night, but abandoning the weak common people would give them a greater chance of survival.

But Han Liuzhen and Shi Wen, originating from South Mountain Sacred Land and having met the Saint Master, took pride and could not abandon their kin.
