I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night Chapter 244 - 177: Eradicating Evil is Doing Good, Taking Ov
On this venture outside the city, passing fifty miles out, Lin Yan and his companions had changed their attire and concealed their true identities, planning to take a new route to circumvent the road.
Regarding this Pure Land, the arrangent to reduce the number of people leaving the city was a temporary order from Lin Yan.
Yet, he hadn’t expected such a scene.
Bodies were scattered everywhere, approximately twenty people, all killed.
"This is a trade group from High Willow City, belonging to the Bai family’s inner city property, probably planning to head to Li City."
Ji Baochang, responsible for relaying matters related to Li City within Tribulation Ash, designated as Black-clothed Chief, held considerable authority.
With one look, he determined the origin and destination of the raided trade group.
"Master, I rember this man, he ca from Qifeng Prefecture, seems like he’s one of the higher-ups from a major clan, he ca alone to High Willow City for the excitent." Little White Ape whispered.
"Look at his clothing emblem, he’s from the Qin Family of Qifeng Prefecture, his cultivation is profound, I fear his status is not low." Ji Baochang responded.
"Is he as high-ranking as the two Shi Family sons?" Lin Yan suddenly asked.
"..." Ji Baochang hesitated, then said, "The murdered caravan belonged to the Bai family’s inner city folks, are you going to intervene?"
"What do you an?" Lin Yan suddenly laughed.
"Even before you beca the premier prodigy of Qifeng Prefecture, your reputation was already spreading, as you stord into the inner city, the first you overturned were the Bai family’s people." Ji Baochang explained.
"Rember one thing, I never foster enmity with anyone." Lin Yan stated calmly, "I have no feud with the Bai family from the inner city..."
"No feud?" Ji Baochang was taken aback.
"Whatever I do, lies within my official duties."
Unsheathing his blade, Lin Yan said, "The ones I want to kill are not the major clans, but the ’cancers’ that rise above the common folks!"
"Why waste words?"
Unable to restrain himself, Lv Tang had already charged forward.
Lin Yan frowned, "Capture him alive!"
Lv Tang responded affirmatively and dashed forward.
Seeing this, Lin Yan sheathed his sword and looked at Ji Baochang, slowly saying: "The people with the surna Bai are not to bla! It’s just that so extrely vicious crooks happened to have the surna Bai, and so that night, I ended up killing quite a few from the Bai family!"
"The ones who died here are not just the Bai family mbers, but more are ordinary Martial Artists who, striving to provide for their families, worked for the Bai family, transporting goods to Li City."
"Like ordinary folks, they’re just trying to survive for themselves and their families."
"Tonight, to live in the Pure Land, they had their heads chopped off, which is improper."
Then, dismounting his horse, Lin Yan walked forward: "But the one who chopped off their heads has committed a capital cri, and as the General Flag Envoy from the Observatory, it’s more proper for to execute him."
Lv Tang dragged over the so-called high-ranking official from Qifeng Prefecture.
"Do you know who I am?" the man roared.
"Qifeng Prefecture, Qin Family." Lin Yan said calmly, "You’ve committed a capital cri. It doesn’t matter who you are anymore."
"Dare you kill ?" The man’s face showed surprise and anger.
"Let ask you sothing." Lin Yan lifted his sword and said, "If I’m not mistaken, you killed the other people in this Pure Land just to clear a quiet spot for your masters?"
"That shouldn’t be..." Ji Baochang stepped forward and said, "That son of the Qin Family left the city yesterday."
"So, you did this of your own volition, as a mber of the Qin Family, putting yourself above others, wanting to monopolize the Pure Land and repel others?"
Lin Yan glanced at him, said no more, and brought his sword down.
Blood spurted out, a head rolled away.
Evil Qi increased by fourteen strands.
"Didn’t you ask to capture him alive?" Lv Tang was taken aback, saying, "Just chopped him like that? What was the point of capturing him alive?"
"I just wanted to confirm whether soone instructed him, since it was his own decision, it made sense to kill him directly." Lin Yan smiled as he spoke.
"Master’s actions..." Ji Baochang hesitated.
"Do you see a problem?" Lin Yan glanced at him.
"This man’s cultivation is at the peak of inner strength, not very old, and hails from the grand Qin Family, he could potentially beco a figure of the Refining Essence Realm in the future." Ji Baochang hesitated, "Should we just kill him like that?"
"Do you think the bodies outside are less valuable than this one man?" Lin Yan said calmly.
"Yes." Ji Baochang said, "A potential Refining Essence Realm figure, although the chances are slim, his worth still outweighs ordinary Martial Artists... besides, his background is not ordinary."
"So in the past, did you always allow such things?" Lin Yan fell silent, then asked.
"Yes." Ji Baochang nodded, "If necessary, I would cover up for him, preserving a potent figure for the Human Clan."
"Such a figure doesn’t bring hope." Lin Yan shook his head slightly.
"Your talent surpasses his, so you can kill him and regard his life as trivial." Ji Baochang fell silent before speaking.
"The weight of human life is the sa." Lin Yan slowly said, "He regards human lives as grass, so in my eyes, he is rely grass..."
"What if he revered human life?" Ji Baochang pondered aloud.
"Then he would earn Master’s respect." Little White Ape spoke, "You’re in charge of Li City, have you heard of General Pei?"
"I have heard." Ji Baochang said, "He died at Dayin River, Master stord into Feng City, executed the two Shi Family sons, commorating General Pei."
"General Pei, such a person, Master regards as a friend." Little White Ape said, "While the Shi Family sons, Master regards as re grass."
"You could tolerate today’s incident because you see the bigger picture, longer than I do."
Lin Yan looked at Ji Baochang, saying, "I just can’t tolerate it, but that doesn’t necessarily an you’re wrong."
Then Lin Yan walked into the Pure Land.
Ji Baochang fell into deep thought.
"Master greatly respects the Zhao Ye people."
Laughing, Little White Ape said, "I thought the Zhao Ye people were all highly skilled and mysterious, lurking in the shadows, one of the most elite from the Observatory... but you seem not very strong."
