I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night Chapter 475 - 312: The Gleam of the Knife in the Gourd! The

Lin Yan nodded slightly and turned to leave.

Watching his retreating figure, Wen Chen couldn’t help but ask.

"You’re not killing ?"

"Why would I kill you?"

"I heard you kill people by nature, bloodthirsty as life itself."

"Rumors stop with the wise!"

"That sounds reasonable, but don’t you want to know why I tried to stop you?"

"The enemies ahead are much stronger than you." Lin Yan turned his head and said indifferently, "If I can’t even get past you, I won’t be able to take back the Landscaping Technique."

"Even if you get past , you can’t take it back." Wen Chen spoke, "Do you know how much my line has sacrificed to escort the Landscaping Technique this ti?"

"Hmm?" Lin Yan’s expression darkened slightly.

"There are six routes escorting the Landscaping Technique, one real and five fake." Wen Chen sighed, "The four junior brothers before all died on the way! The fifth route is my ntor, Li Shen Sect!"

"..." Lin Yan did not respond, only furrowing his brows.

"With my ntor personally involved, in the eyes of all parties, he surely escorted the real Landscaping Technique, hence those behind the scenes made their move, a brutal fight ensued, both sides badly injured."

Wen Chen spoke slowly, "After that battle began, I, as the last route, am to transport the real Landscaping Technique back to Qifeng Prefecture City!"

He looked at Lin Yan and said, "But everyone underestimated his abilities after he lost control!"

"Lost control?"

Lin Yan raised his eyebrows.

Wen Chen sighed, "After losing control, He beca even more terrifying."

Lin Yan acknowledged with a sound, "I see."

Unable to restrain himself, Wen Chen asked, "How did you figure out my thoughts?"

"The Great General Mansion is quite expansive and heavily guarded inside and out, but the spot where you stand had no patrolling soldiers, with a Formation set up, isolating inside and outside movents."

Lin Yan said indifferently, "You knew I would co; if you had murderous intentions, you would have set up a deadly formation long ago!"

After pausing, Lin Yan continued, "The Landscaping Technique cos from the Holy Land and was originally bestowed upon Li Shen Sect! Now that Li Shen Sect is in the Holy Land, if they did not wish to give it to , why would they send it out of the Holy Land?"

Wen Chen laughed, self-mockingly, "Couldn’t it be that I wanted to keep it for myself?"

Lin Yan replied, "A person who relies on a town object with the might of Refining God, with no future prospects, has no use for the Landscaping Technique."

Wen Chen sighed and said, "Be a bit more tactful with your words in the future; after all, I have risked my life for you!"

As his voice fell, Wen Chen spoke again, "At midnight, exactly the third quarter. Not early, not late."

"Hmm."

Lin Yan walked towards the exit.

Perhaps because there was no rush, he halted his steps and then said, "Li Shen Sect could bestow the town object upon you, he must cherish you greatly, and would surely not be stingy with the Landscaping Technique!"

"A person so valued by Li Shen Sect must be utterly loyal to him!"

"Since he didn’t give it to you, you wouldn’t harbor any desires for it!"

As his voice fell, Lin Yan’s figure had already disappeared into the darkness.

Wen Chen let out a sigh, "Such a young age, yet you seem so world-weary; however, you do see things quite clearly."

As he said this, he gestured with his hand.

From the wreckage behind him, an object flew towards him.

It was a gourd.

He opened the lid of the gourd and drew upon the remaining Mana, linking it to the Qi chanism stored within.

This was an extrely intense blade light.

With Mana, he guided the blade light along his wounds, cutting gradually.

His injuries, which were already severe, beca even worse.

Originally, his body had a Golden Lotus Petal town object within, and the vitality of his physical body was quite strong, with the wounds slowly healing.

But as the blade light cut, the healing parts were gradually split open, contaminated with this "intense blade intent."

It also covered Lin Yan’s leftover blade edge, concealing the remnants of Mr. Lu’s Mana traces.

"That should do it."

Wen Chen thought as such, his gaze growing increasingly unfocused.

He flicked his fingers.

The Formation that covered an area of more than twenty yards suddenly shattered.

Boom!!!

The huge commotion alerted the soldiers patrolling the Great General Mansion to look in this direction.

They saw a large area of ruins, buildings collapsed, clearly having been through an extrely fierce battle.

"Enemy attack!!!"

Loud shouts resonated from all directions.

Soon, a multitude of soldiers sward over and ford into battle formations.

There, amongst the remnants of broken walls, Wen Chen lay there, hanging on to his last breath, his life force thin as a thread, his eyes beginning to glaze over.

A wound stretched from his left shoulder to his right belly, damaging his internal organs and severing his intestines.

Blood was everywhere, a chilling and terrifying sight.

"Blood Transformation Sky Demon Blade?"

"It’s that Tribulation Burning Sect Leader from our Prefecture City’s jurisdiction!"

"He dared to infiltrate the inner city of Qifeng Prefecture?"

"..."

It was only then that Wen Chen coughed up blood, his eyes unfocused as if he hadn’t heard the surrounding discussions, but weakly gasped, "Imdiately report to the City Guard Mansion, report to the Observatory, a great enemy has infiltrated the inner city... he hit with a secret technique, there’s a risk he’s lost control, now’s our chance to eliminate him..."

——

Midnight.

This estate spanned a vast area, grand and luxurious.

It was personally supervised in construction by the Great City Guard.

Every material used, each brick and tile, was of the finest quality.

Just one of its doors was worth enough to allow an outer city commoner to build ten houses.

Because this establishnt was the residence of an envoy who transmitted the teachings of the Holy Land.

New laws from the Holy Land, through the envoy, reached Qifeng Prefecture City.

Although the envoy’s cultivation wasn’t very high, he symbolized the Holy Land.

His presence here was to pass teachings onto all creatures, and his rit was imasurable.

Therefore, within Prefecture City, his status was unrivaled.

Both City Guard Mansion and Wutong Temple nearly worshipped him.

Even his hot temper, influenced by foreign True Qi after the Supre Profound Dao to Saint failed, leading to reckless killings of innocents, went unchallenged.

"Since my arrival at Qifeng Prefecture City, only Lu Changsheng and his student dared to anger ..."

The envoy laughed with a trace of self-mockery.

He looked at the dishes on the table, took in their aroma, and was quite pleased.

Then he picked up a piece with chopsticks made from dragon bone, placed it in his mouth, and slowly savored it.

Even within Prefecture City, at such as chickens, ducks, and fish was quite expensive; not everyone could afford it.

But what he consud was a dish made from the tongues of a hundred chickens.

The rest was made into a rich broth, the fatty layer that commoners would covet was removed from the top.

As for the tender chicken at, he did not care for it.

He poured himself a cup of wine and drank it all in one go.

It was rely a flask of rice wine.

But it was made from the first harvest of grains this year from Feng City.

It contained the dense Qi chanism of the Heavenly God King.

After a satisfying al, the transmitter of teachings slowly stood up and walked over to a bronze mirror.

The reflection of the envoy in the mirror seed to carry a cold sneer.

"Pan Chengkong, can you be considered a good person?" Suddenly, the mirror reflection spoke.

"Never have been." The envoy, expressionless, responded to his reflection, "In my early years, I was born in the Holy Land, arrogant and full of myself, looking down upon all creatures as if they were nothing and treating human lives like weeds!"

"In my middle age, I beca an elder of the sixth lineage, practiced Supre Profound Dao to Saint, with neither good nor evil, selflessness nor desire; in everything, I used any ans necessary to achieve my ends, and although it was for the grand sche of the Human Clan, I was far from being purely good."

"To this day, now that Supre Profound Dao to Saint has completely failed, I have unleashed all the desires I have accumulated over the years, which are far more unrestrained than in my youth."

"Using the na of the Holy Land, the rit of transmitting the law, and the respect from various forces within Prefecture City, I’ve lost count of the evils I’ve committed."

"When I’m in a bad mood, I enjoy killing people to vent my anger; since coming to Qifeng Prefecture City, the number of servants and maids who have died in my estate is no less than a hundred."

"When bored, I enjoy fine wines and dishes; one al’s worth is equal to the food an average family would have over three years."

"When my desires arise, the maids at ho don’t satisfy ; I prefer to forcefully take civilian girls and abuse their husbands."

He looked at his reflection with a smile, "A good person? Even to be called ’human’ is giving too much credit!"

The figure in the mirror’s expression twisted grimly, "So, soone as despicable as you also deserves to fight for the Human Clan?"

The envoy spread his hands, looking resigned, "Who would have given this chance?"

He reached out a finger, touched the mirror’s surface, and said, "The failure of Supre Profound Dao to Saint, the influence of foreign True Qi, and all the desires I’ve accumulated over many years, in the past two years, I have beco utterly vicious and brutal, a complete beast! Yet at this point..."

His face taking on a mocking expression, he continued, "This so-called ’conscience’ of yours that had long been extinguished, it actually ca back to life?"
