I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night
Chapter 806 - 450: Drought Demon!_2

Chapter 806: Chapter 450: Drought Demon!_2

But they were not ignorant fools.

The other side had clearly heard the words.

Yet still showed no intention of sheathing the sword.

It was not because they mistakenly thought they were evil spirits.

But because they intended to kill and seize treasure!

"Take him along, question him on the way, don’t delay the journey."

Lin Yan said so, his face cold and indifferent.

"No, if you want to court death, don’t take this old man..."

The old man struggled continuously, roaring angrily.

But before he could finish, Shangguan Youqi had seized his throat.

The Green Jade Divine Ship continued to move forward.

Meanwhile, Shangguan Youqi crushed an elixir, bewildering the opponent’s Primordial Spirit, and questioned him for a while.

Only now did they learn that this old man was a Great City Guard of the nearby cities.

Yesterday, he noticed changes but failed to communicate with the Holy Land, feeling uneasy, just as a true disciple in the Refining God Realm from the Holy Land happened to be fleeing.

He stopped that person, only to learn that the Holy Land was in turmoil, and the master of the Holy Alliance personally sent a message ordering the high levels of the Human Clan to evacuate immediately.

So he abandoned the city and fled beyond the Holy Land’s boundary.

But on the way, he encountered evil spirits, slowing his steps, and was scorched by the Sun’s divine might, his mana greatly depleted... seeing it was difficult to escape beyond the Holy Land’s confines before getting scorched to death, he felt despair.

He asked himself even if he could escape beyond the Holy Land’s confines, if his mana was exhausted, the danger would be endless... fearing he might be harmed by evil spirits, and his flesh body might lose control, his mind deranged.

Just at that moment, he noticed a green light in the sky, moving extremely fast.

He was initially too weak to stop it, but there was a Demon King evil bird colliding with that green light, momentarily slowing it down.

He made a decisive decision to kill all the people on that green light, seize the treasure, and escape immediately.

Never did he expect that on this green light treasure, there would be existences far beyond the Creation Level.

"Originally wanted to stop you, bring this old man with you, and escape together, but seeing you losing your way, running towards the direction of the Shangri Sacred Land..."

The old man said with a dazed look: "Then I guessed you were not high in cultivation, lost direction under the Sun’s divine might’s scorching, so... seizing this treasure was the best choice!"

"Of course, if you didn’t lose direction, most likely you were determined to go to the Shangri Sacred Land to die, this old man would try to persuade you to change direction, but it would be difficult, a waste of words!"

"So the only choice for this old man was to slay you and seize the treasure."

"Being inferior in skill, falling here, is fate."

He sighed, his eyes gradually showing clarity, only to realize he had confessed everything, his face changed drastically, crying with tears, kowtowing: "Under the scorching of the Divine Fire, I lost my mind, nearly committed a great evil, may the two envoys of the Holy Alliance spare me once, considering I guarded a city, trembling with fear..."

Before he could finish, a cold voice was heard.

"What about the city you were guarding?"

"I..."

The old man’s heart trembled, he raised his head.

But discovered his head could no longer rise.

His head had fallen from his neck.

With the vitality of the Creation Level, if he could hold his head in time, he might not have been unable to reattach it.

But under the Nine Palace Demon Extermination Seal, his Primordial Spirit was shattered at this moment.

"According to the current rules of the Holy Alliance, actually his crime wasn’t worthy of death."

Shangguan Youqi thought of the verdict at the Withered Glory Sacred Land for the people of the Holy Land, sighing: "There are indeed too few strong people among the Human Clan... if he was taken back to the Holy Alliance, at most he would be demoted to a perilous place to combat evil spirits."

"In this world, there are those who are fearless in the face of death, resisting the deceit night evil spirits; there are those who are wholeheartedly dedicated to studying ancient and modern magic methods; there are those who concoct elixirs and make weapons, benefiting the entire clan."

Lin Yan said: "In today’s era, including myself, supposedly upper-level strong people, aren’t we all growing from the weak under the protection of our ancestors? He was high in position, enjoying wealth and honor, cultivated by the Holy Alliance, but when disaster approached, he abandoned a city... such a person, however strong, is ultimately ’Celestial’, unusable, keeping him is useless."

Such a person is only useful as Evil Qi to wield the greatest effect!

"..."

Shangguan Youqi’s expression was complex.

As the Lord of the Upper Heaven, a leader of a realm.

In his youth, he was also cultivated as a future Human Clan leader.

He knew that as a mature superior, what should be valued most is not distinguishing right from wrong, nor being clear about good and evil.

But understanding trade-offs, making the most of things, and considering the overall situation.

The Saint Master distinguishes between good and evil too clearly; such a disposition clearly isn’t suitable for leadership!

But standing next to the Saint Master, why does one inexplicably feel that this style of action is excessively straightforward?

"Kill what should be killed, is there a problem?"

Lin Yan tossed the corpse down.

"Absolutely no problem!"

Shangguan Youqi said seriously, "This guy indeed deserved to die, but his death was too swift. When we return, I’ll find his corpse and stab him a few more times..."

"Don’t use me to stab the corpse!"

The voice of the Flame Dragon Spear came from his bosom.

Shangguan Youqi ignored it, but once again opened the Heavenly Eye, looking into the distance.

"Fifth Master, there’s a large-scale Pure Land ahead."

Shangguan Youqi pondered, "The people were roasted to death, but the corpses were all torn to pieces."

"Hmm?"

Lin Yan couldn’t help remembering the city from before.

Under the protection of the Old God, the humans inside were not roasted by the Sun God’s flames, yet they ended up in broken limbs and tragic deaths.

"The wounds are peculiar, showing traces of weapons as well as claw and fang marks..."

Shangguan Youqi said, "The previous town was like this too. However, the people there were brutally slain alive! But the people in this large-scale Pure Land were dismembered after death..."

Lin Yan’s brows furrowed.

Little White Ape, stealthily with his Parasol Tree branch, communicated with Little Willow Venerable and Niu Yan.

And behind Little Willow Venerable, were the erudite scholars of South Mountain Sacred Land, who were learned in various classics and texts.

Yet, for the moment, they had no clues either.

On the contrary, Shangguan Youqi seemed to remember something and suddenly took out the Flame Dragon Spear.

"Dragon Lord, are you still awake?"

"What’s the matter?"

"Under Shangri Sacred Land, that sun, is it truly a Supreme Treasure fallen from the Great Sun God Monarch’s body?"

"Yes." An ancient voice came from within the Flame Dragon Spear, murmuring, "Though I didn’t see it with my own eyes, there can be no mistake about this matter."

"You mentioned before that the Great Sun God Monarch had not yet fallen at that time." Shangguan Youqi’s expression was grave.

"This sun is the Supreme Treasure of the Great Sun God Monarch. When he refined the Supreme Treasure, he was too weakened, causing the sun to fall into the world and be powerless to recall it."

Dragon Soul contemplated a while before speaking, "Later on, an Immortal was brought to suppress the sun for him, resulting in the legend of ’Carrying Mountains and Chasing the Sun!’

"But before he could return the sun to the Great Sun God Monarch."

"The Great Sun God Monarch was somehow assassinated by a Divine Arrow."

"A year later, this Immortal, due to his attempt to steal a ’Cosmic Light Primordial Dragon Ball’ from an ancient being, was decimated by Heavenly Punishment, leaving only a strand of True Spirit for Reincarnation in the Netherworld."

"But the two great Magic Treasures he left still suppress this sun at the place where he fell."

"Because of his demise, the Immortal Dao Fruit scattered across this land, thus becoming what you call Shangri Sacred Land."

"I mentioned this to you a long time ago. Why ask again?"

As the sound of the Flame Dragon Spear fell.

Shangguan Youqi whispered, "If this sun is the Great Sun God Monarch’s Supreme Treasure, then it should have the same effect as the blazing sun in the sky! Demons and Evil Spirits under the blazing sun either perish or weaken..."

The Flame Dragon Spear replied, "On your journey, didn’t all the Demons and Evil Spirits perish? Only those who surpass the tier are lingering still..."

Shangguan Youqi opened the Heavenly Eye between his brows, scanning in all directions, and whispered, "Then you say the corpses exhibiting strange forms, slaughtering everywhere, aren’t they considered evil?"

The Dragon Soul of the Flame Dragon Spear was silent for a moment before saying, "Corpses exhibiting strange transformations, possessing a flesh body as Evil Spirit, naturally belong to the evil type."

Shangguan Youqi whispered, "Did the Great Sun God Monarch in his lifetime, ever create a flesh body evil spirit?"

The Dragon Soul of the Flame Dragon Spear immediately rebuked, "Nonsense! The Great Sun God Monarch, being of supreme Yang and supreme firmness, his radiance shining upon the world, causes all Demons and Evil Spirits to perish; how could he create this kind of flesh body evil spirit?"

Lin Yan gripped the Night Illuminating Divine Sword, whispering, "You mean... the intact corpses on this land are gradually transforming into flesh body evil spirits?"

"The closer to Shangri Sacred Land, the more evident it is."

Shangguan Youqi’s brow and forehead, swept by the Heavenly Eye, whispered, "Six hundred miles ahead of us, eight hundred miles to the left, seven hundred miles to the right, and over a hundred miles behind us, there are boundaries where corpses are undergoing mutations... those who transformed early have already moved towards us."

"Drought demon?"

The ancient voice within the Flame Dragon Spear couldn’t help but express astonishment, "How could this be? The sun is the Great Sun God Monarch’s Supreme Treasure, how could such flesh body evil spirits appear?"
