I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night Chapter 354 - 247: Drawing the Sword Multiple Times, It Must

"That’s no longer your concern."

Mr. Lu, with his hands clasped behind his back, said, "As long as you and your junior brother express approval in the great hall, I will no longer pursue your junior brother’s matter!"

After a long silence, the Chief True Man spoke, "If there is no one else behind you who can co forward to help, just the approval of my junior brother and is useless!"

"As long as the two of you approve, and not oppose, that is enough!"

Mr. Lu said, "After the decision in the great hall, whether the Saint Master is willing to grant the Mana, and whether the Li Shen Sect is willing to hand it over, are all my own concerns!"

The Chief True Man looked at him deeply and then said, "Fine! I can agree to that!"

"After the matter is accomplished, this Spirit Talisman Fragnt will be returned to you."

Mr. Lu calmly said, "From then on, I will no longer pursue the matter."

Upon hearing this, the Chief True Man finally nodded slowly.

—

anwhile, the atmosphere among the people in the courtyard was somber.

Only the Thirteenth Young Master, with a cold expression, glanced at Gui Zhen, gritted his teeth slightly, and said in a low voice, "You acted rashly and almost killed your master! This ti the Chief True Man will inevitably give in, and you cannot be uninvolved in this matter!"

Gui Zhen, pale-faced, dared not speak much and bowed his head in silence.

After a mont, Mr. Lu and the Chief True Man removed the Mana barrier and slowly walked out.

"Brother Li, since you’ve co to High Willow City, why not stay for lunch?" Mr. Lu turned his head and said with a smile.

"Thank you for your kindness." The Chief True Man, with a cold expression, said, "Is your matter concluded?"

"It is indeed concluded," Mr. Lu said with a smile while stroking his beard. "I can overlook this assassination attempt. You’ve also agreed to temporarily set aside the matter of the thirty-eight thousand people pending a re-report. That leaves with no other concern!"

"Since there is none, then I should head to the City Guard Mansion to deal with the previous two matters," the Chief True Man said expressionlessly.

"It’s fine, we can discuss anywhere; anyway, I won’t interfere," Mr. Lu stopped walking and chuckled while stroking his beard.

"..."

The Chief True Man’s expression was quite unpleasant as he walked forward, looking toward the City Guard Mansion staff and the Commander of the Observatory.

Before he could speak,

he heard the Commander bitterly rebuke,

"Mr. Lu gives you, the Chief True Man, face, but since I am a dying man, I need not give you face!"

The Commander proudly said, "I am responsible for overseeing various matters. This ti soone attempted to harm a mber of the Human Clan in the Refining God Realm, which is unbearable! Even if Mr. Lu, the victim, does not wish to pursue the matter, I will report it to the Qifeng Prefecture and up to the Holy Land for a thorough investigation!"

He looked at the Chief True Man and said sternly, "Or do you plan to kill ?"

"Commander! Mind your words!"

The Great City Guard sighed and said, "Mr. Lu, having only recently entered the Refining God Realm, is a temple priest. The Chief True Man, holding his position for twenty-three years, possesses profound skills. If he truly wishes not to reason and intends to forcibly kill you and , Mr. Lu will certainly not be able to save us!"

"Are you threatening ?"

The Chief True Man, forming his fingers into a sword, was already extrely angry.

Just now, Mr. Lu had forced him to agree in the Holy Land to approve the granting of Mana.

But Mr. Lu is, after all, a person of the Refining God Realm!

The two in front of him, rely at the peak of the Qi Refinent Realm, dared to be presumptuous in his presence?

"Not threatening, just acting fairly," the Commander said with a cold expression.

"..."

The Chief True Man, with a heavy gaze, looked towards Mr. Lu and said, "If they bring this matter to light, our agreent will naturally be void."

"This..."

Mr. Lu helplessly said, "I heard you and agreed not to interfere in this matter anymore; since you suggest so, perhaps I can propose a compromise?"

The atmosphere was quiet for a mont before the Chief True Man nodded and said, "Please speak, Brother Lu."

"Elder Fu Shi will remain as the Deputy City Governor! Elder Xu Jie can also serve as the Deputy Commander of the Observatory!"

Mr. Lu thought for a mont and said, "Only the next Great City Guard and the next Commander shall be selected according to past practices! In the future, it will depend on who possesses more ritorious talents!"

"Acceptable!"

The Great City Guard, with his hands clasped behind his back, had an unchanging expression, but his heart was sowhat pleased.

The Commander was silent for a mont before saying, "I listen to Mr. Lu."

Mr. Lu took a half step forward and said with a smile, "The two elders from the Holy Land are indeed n of great talent. In fact, who could vie with them for the positions of the next Great City Guard and Commander in the future?"

With this statent, it was clear.

Elders Fu Shi and Xu Jie could also contend for the positions of the next Great City Guard and Commander.

If they are capable, they can certainly be elected!

If they are not capable enough, it further represents that the Holy Land’s direct appointnt today was a mistaken decision!

The Chief True Man remained silent.

But he heard the Thirteenth Young Master proudly say, "Are the elders from my Holy Land inferior to those from this provincial city? When it cos to talents, what is there to fear?"

"..."

The Chief True Man looked deeply at him and finally said, "Since the Young Master has spoken, let it be settled as such!"

He no longer spoke and began to walk outside.

However, he paused, suddenly turned his head, and looked at Mr. Lu with a complex expression.

He was commanded to go to High Willow City to accomplish three things!

Now, the first two had only been halfway done, and the last had been directly suppressed.

All three tasks were unaccomplished!

Instead, he had agreed to another matter, to approve the granting of Mana in the Holy Land!

This old fox, Mr. Lu, if not prepared in advance, how could he thwart in all respects himself, the Chief True Man from the Holy Land?

"Brother Lu is truly a deeply calculating man; you truly command respect!"

"Not capable enough, just had to put in more effort. Brother Li, you flatter !" Mr. Lu said with a smile.

"You do recognize it straightforwardly!"

The Chief True Man left with a sweep of his sleeve.

Followed closely behind him were the people of the Holy Land.

Only Elders Fu Shi and Xu Jie remained in the courtyard.

The two exchanged glances, their expressions neutral.

For so reason, the young thirteenth master walked at the back, sticking close to Gui Zhen, and whispered True Qi into his ear.

"This young master thought you looked straightforward because of your thick eyebrows and big eyes; I didn’t expect you to also be a malicious-hearted person!"

"Even your master has fallen this ti, and you don’t even dare to rebut openly!"

"Once we return to Qifeng Prefecture City, you will surely be questioned, and it’s almost certain you’ll die."

"If you don’t want to die, you’d better hurry back and eliminate the related parties to feign innocence!"

His expression was calm, and his voice carried in such a manner.

Gui Zhen’s face changed slightly, and his eyes flickered uncertainly.

"..."

Mr. Lu’s brows lifted slightly as he glanced at Lin Yan.

Lin Yan’s hand was still on the hilt of his blade.

He watched as the two n walked past him!

Suddenly, he raised his blade edge!

Everyone in the courtyard seed not to have expected that, even after everything seed to have been settled, Wu Chang, the Inspection Envoy, still couldn’t suppress the urge to kill!

Both the people of the City Guard Mansion and the Commander were filled with astonishnt.

Then he saw that blade co slashing down!

"You dare!!!"

Gui Zhen’s pupils constricted, revealing a shocked expression as he hurriedly retreated, "I have already entered the Holy Land, how dare you?"

The blade edge had already fallen upon Gui Zhen’s head!

A chilling ferocity was revealed!

"How audacious!"

The thirteenth young master counterattacked boldly, his True Qi bursting forth, and his long sword fiercely sharp.

Even the robes on his body seed luminous, flowing along the threads and patterns!

With a loud bang!

The sword clashed with the blade!

The young thirteenth master grunted and was thrown backward!

Suddenly, Lin Yan’s blade fell upon Gui Zhen’s shoulder!

Slashing diagonally across his back, splitting him in two, blood spurted, and his organs disintegrated!

Lin Yan stepped forward, placing a foot on Gui Zhen’s face, looking down and speaking lightly, "Your elder brother Gui Lin also died in this courtyard! You didn’t take the lesson and ca here seeking death; I shall grant your wish!"

From the beginning until now, Lin Yan couldn’t count how many tis his killing intent had flared.

This blade, drawn over and over, couldn’t always go without killing, and swallowing all his killing intent, it was ti for it to be bloodied.

As the blade plunged downward, it pierced through Gui Zhen, who was full of pleas for rcy.

The blade’s tip pierced through and stuck in the ground.

"How dare you kill a disciple from the Holy Land?"

Everyone stood there in shock.

Even the people from the City Guard Mansion showed panic on their faces.

Just before, they too had expressed their dissatisfaction to the Holy Land in a strong manner!

But killing soone from the Holy Land was entirely different!

"Plotting against a mber of the Human Clan in the Refining God Realm, even if not the mastermind, he was an accomplice, and his sin deserves death!"

Lin Yan raised his head, speaking slowly, "Seeking to silence those who know afterward, to cover up the clues, can be described as cruel-hearted. Killing him today, does anyone have objections?"

"Let’s go!"

The Chief True Man said expressionlessly.

With his skill, he was fully capable of stopping this blade and saving Gui Zhen.

Even that Refining God Realm elder Mr. Lu, who might dare to block him from killing, wouldn’t block him from saving a life!

But he also knew, Gui Zhen deserved to die!

If it had been the thirteenth young master that the other had tried to kill, he would definitely have fought to the death!

But after all, this was just a nominal disciple he casually took in, not yet truly a part of the Holy Land!

Frankly speaking, he was rely a follower!

The people of the Holy Land all felt extrely humiliated but ultimately chose to follow behind the Chief True Man!

"Just like that for killing my Holy Land’s disciple?"

The young thirteenth master cried out angrily and suddenly burst forth, slashing a sword toward Lin Yan.

Lin Yan clasped his long blade, his killing intent soaring!

But the Chief True Man raised his hand in a wave!

At the sa ti, Mr. Lu also swept his hand!

Two streams of mana collided in the air!

They saw an invisible wave overturn the young thirteenth master, throwing him out of the courtyard.

"The Thirteenth Young Master has always been prideful and arrogant, please forgive him!"

The Chief True Man said this and departed, flapping his sleeves, followed by all the people from the Holy Land.

But Lin Yan looked at the blade in his hand and fell into contemplation, sothing was off about this thirteenth young master!

No sooner had the thought crossed his mind than he heard the Great City Guard speak out.

"Deputy City Governor Fu Shi, please return to your post in the City Guard Mansion!"

"Deputy Commander Xu Jie, please return to your post at the Observatory!"

The two elders from the Holy Land, accompanied by people from the Observatory and City Guard Mansion, left.

Besides Mr. Lu, Lin Yan, Lin Lei, and Lv Tang.

Only the Commander and the Great City Guard stood side by side.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu!"

The Great City Guard bowed and sighed, "The legacy of our ancestors was nearly destroyed in my generation!"

The Commander of the Observatory, with a calm expression, slowly spoke, "Decades ago, the Li Family from the Holy Land had used the sa thod to take control of Qifeng Prefecture City..."
