I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night Chapter 539 - 337: Preparation to Kill the Human Clan’s Sain

Zhou Yuan, with support from the previous Commander and even the endorsent of the Saint Master, was backed formidably.

Xu Jie, having originated from the Holy Land!

Gao Kui had known from the beginning that there was little hope, but he couldn’t help but hold onto so expectations, and now he felt sowhat relieved.

"Greetings, Commander!"

Zhou Yuan and Gao Kui both perford a greeting towards Commander Xu Jie.

Xu Jie nodded slightly and helped the two n up.

Lin Yan closed the appointnt docunt and stood up, yielding his place.

Xu Jie took two steps forward and greeted Lin Yan, "Saint Master!"

Lin Yan returned the greeting and said, "Wu Chang, Garrison Commander of the High Willow City Sky Observation Bureau, I’ve t the Commander."

Xu Jie was suddenly sowhat at a loss.

But within monts, Lin Yan had already smiled and waved his hand.

"The Observatory, responsible for monitoring one area, holds great authority and even greater responsibility. From now on... the order and stability of High Willow City should be entrusted to Brother Xu."

"Xu will not fail the expectations of the Saint Master!" Xu Jie declared solemnly.

"Let’s go."

Lin Yan walked on, his gaze sweeping past Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan understood and followed behind.

Lin Yan calmly said, "Not convinced?"

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said, "Actually, Commander Xu is more capable than I am! It’s just that I, relying on my familiarity with High Willow City and the support of old allies, had the upper hand..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan nodded and then said, "Before leaving High Willow City this ti, I actually didn’t have a good impression of the Holy Land, so I was sowhat biased against Xu Jie!"

"However, later in East Mountain Prefecture, I t a high disciple of the Holy Land, and in Qifeng Prefecture City, I saw many sages of the Holy Land, which also eliminated my narrow perspective."

"If it had been before leaving High Willow City, I would have preferred that you take over as Commander."

"But now..."

Lin Yan looked back and said, "Xu Jie is indeed more suited than you."

Zhou Yuan nodded slightly.

But then he heard Lin Yan say, "But his suitability doesn’t co from being more exceptional than you."

"What?"

Zhou Yuan was sowhat shocked.

"You’ve been in High Willow City for too many years."

Lin Yan said, "The higher-ups considered that over the years in High Willow City, you’ve had too many dealings with different powers, fearing that you might beco corrupt like them! Another important point..."

He paused, looking in the direction of Liu Venerate Temple, and said, "The Human Clan’s incense enhances Liu Venerate’s divine mind, driving out Liu Shen’s malicious thoughts..."

"Having held a high position in the city for many years, it’s hard to say how much influence you’ve received!"

"Even if they trust that you won’t beco a Tribulation Ash, there is still a small risk, so the next Commander, changing to Xu Jie, is more appropriate."

"The Observatory monitors the heavens of High Willow City!"

"Though the City Guard Mansion holds great power, the true ’heaven’ lies with Liu Venerate!"

"Therefore, we can only let Xu Jie take over, and his reputation in the Holy Land is also not bad."

With that said, Lin Yan patted Zhou Yuan on the shoulder and said, "But you also needn’t feel downhearted. If I guess correctly, you should be appointed as the Supre Commander elsewhere!"

anwhile.

Outside the Spirit Duke’s Blessed Land.

"Qiao Jing, the newly appointed Southern Outer City Commander of Coastal City, arriving with the commanded construction materials and has gathered thirty-two refugees en route, adding to the population of the Blessed Land."

This woman, mounted on a horse, clad in armor, appearing valiant and formidable, her face full of stern, killing intent.

She looked at the familiar surroundings, a flicker of sothing unusual passing through her gaze.

Not long before, having entered the Blessed Land and even obtained a town object from within.

With the town object within her, she could vaguely sense the supre town object inside.

Revisiting the old place and entering once more, she would et the legendary Lord Qingling.

She touched the token of Marquis Lingyou hidden in her sleeve, feeling sowhat excited.

"Even if unable to recruit that Venerate embodied as the Great Elder of the Forbidden Land, but just to gain the approval of Lord Qingling..."

Qiao Jing thought inwardly, "Killing the Human Clan’s Saint Master will be as easy as turning my hand!"
