I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night
Chapter 832 - 463 Ambush Kill

Chapter 832: Chapter 463 Ambush Kill

The sky had already darkened.

Lin Yan walked through the night, slicing a Great Demon comparable to the Refining God Realm in half with a single stroke.

He sheathed his sword, his expression calm.

And in his hand were three books.

These were handed to him yesterday when he passed through a city, from the local Demon Suppression Department branch.

Heavenly, Earthly, and Human lists!

"The Commander of the Demon Suppression Department in that city mentioned that the three lists appearing together is unprecedented."

The Little White Ape muttered, "With my recent understanding of worldly power maneuvers, this is someone putting us under pressure."

Lin Yan remained calm, saying, "True gold fears no fire. I would like to see how many demons come seeking death, and among the current Holy Alliance’s high ranks, just how many deserve to be killed..."

He flipped through the three lists, paying particular attention to the so-called Heavenly List.

The Heavenly Mechanism Sacred Land has placed him as thirteen on the Heavenly List.

Which means he’s among the top in the Holy Alliance.

But the Heavenly Mechanism Sacred Land’s assessment of his combat power included the sword given by Li Shen Sect.

"Indeed, the Holy Alliance’s high ranks hide experts indeed."

Lin Yan closed the book, slightly closing his eyes.

Although Shangguan Youqi was not completely dead, he could basically be considered dead.

Therefore, Shangguan Youqi, the deceased Lord of Heaven, is not on this Heavenly List.

The current number one on the Heavenly List is the contemporary Alliance Hierarch.

Even the Supreme Commander of the Demon Suppression Department’s Main Hall is barely in the top ten.

"Master, I see that below the Alliance Hierarch, those ranked in the top ten, both Mortal Martial Saints and Masters of Holy Land, may harbor hostility towards us in the struggle for the Alliance Hierarch position," the Little White Ape said softly.

"Not necessarily," Lin Yan gazed at the rising morning sun and said slowly, "Though the Alliance Hierarch is strong, supporting alone is difficult. Now that the Holy Alliance has grown so large, the other high ranks are certainly not inept! Power struggles and competition have occurred throughout history, in any era, in any world; they are unavoidable... But among them, there will also be many like Mr. Lu, whom I am willing to believe in at least!"

"If everyone were like Mr. Lu, the Human Clan would be better," the Little White Ape sighed, "Since the descent of Deceit Night, demons feed on humans, why is there always internal strife, and same-clan conflict?"

"The threat of Deceit Night, the divergence of the Old God, and the hidden dangers of the Old Law are all vast influences... But even without these external influences, you cannot expect everyone to be without desires and filled with saintly righteousness."

Lin Yan continued walking forward, "Even within a pack of wolves, they fight for the position of wolf king, life at stake; how much more so with the Human Clan? Moreover, in today’s world, the higher the power, the more resources controlled..."

In this world, not everyone, like Lin Yan, can slay demons to obtain Evil Qi and advance their cultivation.

For the martial artists of the Human Clan, every step of cultivation is extremely difficult.

Every elixir that can aid in cultivation is exceedingly precious.

They are competing for power, for identity, for status... The essence behind is cultivation resources, hope for advancing their cultivation levels!

Looking further, they are competing for legacy!

With greater skills and higher positions, one’s force can be more stable.

They can allow their descendants to live in the safest boundary of the Human Clan, practice the most advanced magic methods, enjoy the richest resources, and live a life free from the calamity of Deceit Night.

"Strictly speaking, I could also be considered not a saint!"

Lin Yan glanced back southward and said, "Now I am the Saint Master, my brother has received intense cultivation, and in the future Xiao Nian and Little Yue will also have better prospects, more stable days!"

He said slowly, "Born human, having such aspirations, there’s nothing wrong! But unfortunately, some people are unscrupulous for this, suppressing talented individuals, engaging in corruption, filling their own pockets, even colluding with demons..."

As his voice fell, silhouettes emerged from all directions.

Three members of the Human Clan, their cultivation didn’t seem high, but their Qi Mechanism was very peculiar, and each carried strange apparatuses behind them.

As they approached, there were seven Demon Kings, and in the distant sky, three figures of Heavenly Demons with Ancestor Blood Sanctum ascension vaguely appeared.

"Knowing that I am on all three lists, especially the Heavenly List, ranked thirteenth..."

Lin Yan said slowly, "And yet daring to ambush me, seems your abilities are very strong."

"If you truly had the abilities of Heavenly List thirteen, we would not dare to come... The reason for our dare is simply because there’s another leak from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."

One elder, presumably of Creation Skill, saluted and said earnestly, "A message claims the Alliance Hierarch is intentionally creating momentum for you, while you succeed to the Upper Heaven position, many achievements are not yours."

Another middle-aged man said, "A Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion elder said that the current Lord of Heaven is already dead, for the sake of building you up, the Alliance Hierarch and Heavenly Ancestor Realm are intentionally placing all achievements onto your shoulders!"

"When the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion listed you on the three lists, they arranged personnel scattered across regions, searching for the Qi Mechanism you left behind everywhere, to calculate based on that."

"It can be confirmed, you are not a Mortal Martial Saint. Though strong, at Creation Level, how much can your combat power truly be? Even if you have the demeanor of a Human Emperor, possessing Mortal Martial Saint combat power, restricted by cultivation, ultimately limited!"

"According to Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s assessment, your ability to participate in top Martial Saint battles is by using Heaven’s treasures."

"For example, in the Heavenly Gate, thousands of talisman papers and array beads exploding, earth-shaking."

"For example, the display of an Ancient Divine Bell to protect yourself, is no secret."

"External forces, after all, are external forces, bound to be exhausted eventually. Wonder how many family resources the Saint Master possesses at present?"
