Chapter 416 Paying homage to the Demon-Subduing Master!

In Shengze City, inside the temple.

Lin Yan rode on his cloud-stepping horse and came to the front of the temple.

His attire and the Cloud-stepping Horse he rode did not suggest any concealment.

Details about the Shanwangzhuang case, including the murder of Captain Peng, are currently confidential to the Demon Suppression Division.

This matter will not be made public until the headquarters issues a wanted warrant.

But for the top leaders of Shengze City, they still heard some rumors.

When Lin Yan arrived, he saw the temple guards were on high alert.

The remains of the Martial Saint in the world, gathered into a golden statue, are the foundation of Shengze City.

The temple guards are all elite, and most of the generals are from holy lands.

A few generals, who were born in Shengze City, were promoted because of their outstanding talents... but they also needed to enter the Tianlu Holy Land and practice for three years before being promoted.

"..."

Lin Yan sat on the Cloud-Stepping Horse and looked at the temple in front of him.

His eyes passed the temple guards and fell on the many people passing by.

The Temple of the Immortal Subduing Demons protects the people of this city.

Among them, the temple priests can, firstly, eliminate disasters and misfortunes for the people; secondly, they are good at fortune-telling and can interpret divinations and resolve doubts for the people; thirdly, they pray for blessings and fortunes, calculate marriages, and predict fate.

Therefore, the incense is very popular!
Lin Yan dismounted, put on a sword at his waist, and walked forward.

He could sense that the high-ranking members of the temple guards, all warriors above the Refining Essence Realm, were unconsciously looking towards him, their eyes full of vigilance.

But for some reason, he was not stopped from entering the temple to pay his respects.

As Lin Yan added money to the incense offering, took three incense sticks, entered the hall, and finally saw the golden statue of Master Dangmo.

That figure stood in the hall, tall and straight, standing proudly.

He held a sword in his left hand and a golden orb in his right hand.

The altar beneath his feet is shaped like flames.

He holds a sword in his left hand, a pill in his right hand, and fire under his feet.

The way of swordsmanship, the way of alchemy, and the way of fire were the three types of techniques that Master Dangmo was best at during his lifetime.

"..."

Lin Yan quietly looked at the Martial Saint in front of him.

Although his life force is cut off, his body is still full of vigorous energy, and can intimidate people within a hundred miles.

But this body is incorruptible, its body is like a diamond, and it is engraved with various patterns.

A layer of golden "medicinal lacquer" is attached to the body, which helps to absorb incense and transform into the lines.

Holding three incense sticks in his hand, he followed many people to the front of the temple and worshiped respectfully.

"Master Dangmo, you have done your best for the human race during your lifetime, and you have protected the people after your death. You deserve three sticks of incense from me."

Lin Yan inserted the three incense sticks into the incense burner, looked up, then turned and left.

At the side of the palace gate, an old man was looking at him quietly.

The scent of incense emanating from this old man is extremely strong.

Then the old man bowed and saluted.

Lin Yan didn't respond, but just walked out.

The old man looked at his back quietly, seemed relieved, and said softly: "He is leaving the city."

"Master, if I'm not mistaken, this time the living sacrifice, please move the golden body, it should be to kill this person!"

Behind the old man, a young man whispered, "You ordered the temple guards to be on high alert earlier because you were afraid that this person would destroy the golden statue before the sacrifice began. Why..."

The old man said this and whispered, "Why didn't the temple guards stop him, and why did I let him enter the temple and come before the golden statue?"

The young man nodded and replied, "Disciple doesn't understand."

The old man said slowly: "The Supreme Commander of the Demon Suppression Division has met him."

The young man couldn't help but be stunned.

The old man continued, "Commander of the Demon Suppression Division, tell him to leave Shengze City and don't lose his life."

The young man couldn't help but ask, "Why? Didn't this man kill the chief of the Demon Suppression Division, trample on the laws of the Holy Alliance, and slap the face of the Demon Suppression Division? He swaggered into the city, but the Demon Suppression Division didn't launch a large-scale siege and kill him. I am very confused..."

"He said something to the commander of the Demon Suppression Division."

The old man said, "The more than 700 Demon Suppression Division soldiers whose lives he spared were all elites who fought in the strange night, fighting against demons and evil spirits, and protecting the peace of the human race, so they did not deserve to die."

The young man suddenly fell silent.

The old man said: "People who have this kind of idea will not choose to destroy the foundation of Shengze City!"

The young man hesitated and said, "But if we let him get to the golden body, he could destroy the foundation of Shengze City as long as he takes action. Isn't it too risky for you to gamble on his character?"

"If you knew who he was, it wouldn't be that risky."

The old man said slowly: "At present, there should be quite a few people who have guessed his true identity..."

In this case, the old man said, "If the Demon-Dangling Master knew that such a person appeared in the future, he would be happy if he came to burn incense! If I, the master, stop him, I will be unworthy of being a priest in this temple and unworthy of being the bloodline of the Demon-Dangling Master!"

The young man was shocked when he heard this, and asked in a low voice: "Who is he?"

The old man shook his head slightly and said, "You will know later."

At this point, the old man let out a breath and continued, "When you know his identity in the future, after a few years, you will probably find that meeting him today is the honor of your life!"

-

The Demon-Suppressing Division.

"Commander, that person first went to the temple to pay homage to the Demon-Subduing Master. The old temple keeper listened to you and did not stop him."

A young lieutenant whispered, "After leaving the temple, the man went straight north and just left the city through the north gate... According to your arrangement, there are already trustworthy brothers waiting for him thirty miles outside the north gate."

"very good."

The supreme commander of the Demon Division of Shengze Town looked towards the north with a serious expression.

The young captain hesitated and whispered, "The great elder of the Tianlu Holy Land has sent a message asking us to prepare to surround and kill this man. Letting him go now..."

"Our Demon Suppression Division is the Demon Suppression Division of the Holy Alliance!"

The commander said: "The City Guard and the Temple Guard of Shengze City all come from the Holy Land of Tianlu, and our Demon Suppression Division is responsible for monitoring them! If even the Demon Suppression Division obeys the orders of the Great Elder of the Holy Land of Tianlu, then the existence of the Demon Suppression Division will be meaningless!"

He paused, then asked, "Do you know why the sword of Master Dangmo is in my hand?"

The young lieutenant whispered, "If the city is in danger of being breached, the City Defense Office will gather thirty-six people with the same birthdays as the Demon-Slaying Master, and perform a living sacrifice."

"The temple priests of all generations are descendants of the bloodline of the True Man Dangmo. They practice the True Martial Devil-Dangling Sword, enter the golden body, and activate the accumulated incense."

"The Demon Suppression Division used this divine sword to return it to the hands of the Demon Suppression Master."

"With the combined efforts of the three parties, the remains of the Demon-Subduing Master can unleash the power of the gods before their birth to protect the city!"

The young captain said so.

The commander nodded and said, "Yes, the three parties will work together to protect the city! The incense-burning golden body of the Demon-Dangling Master is the foundation for protecting Shengze City, and it is not the private property of any one family!"

"Since the last commander, the Great Elder of the Heavenly Furnace Holy Land has been accustomed to ordering our Demon Suppression Division around."

"For his own selfish desires, he even used the incense-burning golden statues guarding the city as his knives."

"If the city is about to fall, living sacrifices... are a helpless measure!"

"If it's just for the sake of killing people, a living sacrifice would be a blasphemy to the Master of Demon-Subduing!"

"More importantly..."

After a pause, the Commander of the Demon Suppression Division said, "Let's not talk about this man's true identity. Even if he is a wanted criminal in the headquarters, how many innocent people will be affected if he is killed directly in the city with the help of incense and golden statue?"

The young captain's expression became extremely solemn.

The commander of the Demon Suppression Division exhaled and said, "So, whether it's fighting, fleeing, or negotiating, he can't stay in the city."

——Outside Shengze City, more than thirty miles to the north.

Lin Yan rode on the Cloud-stepping Horse and looked ahead quietly.

A middle-aged man in front, wearing a green robe, came forward and saluted.

"Someone from the Demon Suppression Division?" Lin Yan looked at him and said.

"I am just an ordinary citizen born in Shengze City, without any other identity." The middle-aged man sighed and said, "I heard that the great elder of Tianlu Holy Land wanted to ambush and kill you in the city. This will definitely bring disaster to the people in the city... It is obvious that he no longer takes the lives of people in Shengze City seriously."

"So what I heard about the 'living sacrifice' was deliberately arranged by you?" Ta Yunju suddenly realized at this moment.

"I don't know." The middle-aged man said, "In Shengze City, no force has any relationship or dealings with you!"

"It seems that you are extremely dissatisfied with the Grand Elder of Tianlu Holy Land and are unwilling to obey his orders." Lin Yan said slowly after hearing this.

“Neither the City Guard House nor the Temple dared to disobey the order from the Holy Land of Heavenly Furnace.” The middle-aged man sighed and said, “The Demon Suppression Division received the token of the previous commander, who is now the chief commander, from the hands of the Great Elder… If the Demon Suppression Division fails to cooperate, it will be suspected of disobeying orders and showing contempt for the headquarters.”

"So, you can't refuse openly, so you can only let me leave Shengze City."

Lin Yan said slowly: "Why beat around the bush? Where is the great elder of Tianlu Holy Land?"

"It's about 1,600 miles north and west of here."

The middle-aged man said: "You can avoid this direction. I suggest you go east..."

"No need, tell your master to prepare to collect his body."

Lin Yan's voice fell.

The cloud-riding horse galloped forward.

North-west direction.

-

More than 1,600 miles away.

Two figures, both sitting cross-legged.

Under the seat is a light boat, flying in the sky.

"Great Elder, my uncle and cousin are in charge of Shengze City. It is enough for them to call upon the bodies of our ancestors to kill the enemy."

The young man asked in confusion: "Why did you let your disciples go with you?"

The old man closed his eyes slightly and said, "They have been in the secular world for too long and value human life too much. If they kill the enemy in the city, they will not dare to use all their strength to avoid affecting the city and fearing that the criminals will escape."

"They are short-sighted after all. They fail to understand that killing this evildoer is worth it even if it costs a city."

"Besides, if I kill him this time, my mission will be complete, and the Holy Alliance will gain another Martial Saint. He will protect the world just like your ancestors did."

"And you..."

After a pause, the old man slowly said, "You have entered the remains of the Demon-Slaying Master and experienced the power of the Martial Saint. This is an opportunity that will bring you a promising future!"

"..."

The young man couldn't help but show joy when he heard this, and said, "If that's the case, I will do my best!"

The old man nodded slightly, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

But after all these thoughts, only one thought remained: "The corpse of the mountain lion is still in that fellow's hands, and the Nine Revolutions Pill Embryo should still be there... If I take it back and put it into his body, the benefits will be far greater than that of the mountain lion. Once I take it, I will be able to break through in one fell swoop!"

Just as he was thinking this, his heart suddenly shook.

The small boat under his seat was also hovering in the air.

I saw a man and a horse galloping towards me in front of me.

On the shoulder of the man riding the horse, there was a white ape with wings on its back.

The next moment, the expression of the great elder of the Tianlu Holy Land turned extremely ugly.

"You came here for me, but now that I see it with my own eyes, you don't seem very happy?" Lin Yan stopped riding the Cloud-Stepping Horse and looked ahead quietly.

"You knew I was coming?" The look of the great elder of Tianlu Holy Land became complicated.

"Shouldn't I know this?" Lin Yan said calmly.

"..."

The Great Elder was silent for a moment, then asked, "Logically speaking, you should know nothing."

He is the grand elder of the Tianlu Holy Land. It is natural for him to come out of seclusion and inspect Shengze City.

He had never had any interaction with the person in front of him before, so there was no obvious hatred between them.

The power he planted in the tiger's body was unknown even to the tiger itself.

"You intercepted me halfway, I guess you knew that I was going to borrow the golden body from Shengze City?" asked the great elder.

"Although I am not afraid of you using the incense and golden body, I don't want to harm the innocent people in the city." Lin Yan said: "I have no choice but to come here to kill you."

"I decided to borrow the incense golden body not long ago. It has just been passed to Shengze City and should be a city secret at present." The elder said slowly: "You are a newcomer and have a grudge against the Demon Suppression Division. How can you know the secrets of the city?"

"Because they don't want you to use the incense and golden body."

The Cloud-Stepping Horse spoke in human language, saying, "The Martial Saint's Relic, once used, will weaken the power of the origin a little, until it finally turns into flying ash!"

"You have disturbed the foundation of Shengze City and attempted to ambush and kill people in the city. You have disregarded human life and have already aroused public anger."

It looked at the old man in front of it and said, "The Great Elder used public resources for personal gain. He must have been blinded by greed! I guess the Great Elder must have known the identity of this man, so he wanted to kill him even more..."

"The human race's Saint Master is a man of great luck. If he can refine a divine elixir, he will surely ascend to heaven in one step!"

The Great Elder said this with emotion, “When I was creating the scenery, something went wrong, so the foundation was damaged. Although it was remedied with the elixir of the Holy Land of Heavenly Furnace, the defect still exists.”

"Although my inner vision is now complete, my hope of becoming a martial saint is extremely slim. I have to rely on external forces."

"Since we failed to plot against the previous King of Zhennan, we have no choice but to place our hopes on Shanjun. He has the blood of the ancient divine tiger and can refine the Nine-transformation Divine Tiger Pill."

"I watched as my disciple changed the dead sacrifice into a living sacrifice eighteen years ago. Now that the task was about to be completed, he was killed by the Holy Master."

"My time is coming to an end. No panacea can prolong my life. The only way to survive is to become a martial saint!"

He looked at Lin Yan and said, "I know you are the Saint Master of the human race, and I also know how important you are to the human race... But refining you into a pill is my only way to survive."

"The only way to survive?"

Lin Yan drew out the Shining Night Divine Sword and said, "You could have lived for another three years, but now you have no choice but to die."

-

Shengze City, Demon Suppression Division.

"The path he chose was to fight the Great Elder."

The commander frowned slightly, feeling vaguely uneasy.

He pondered and said, "Since he entered the city, I always felt that something was not right. After leaving the city...it seemed even more wrong."

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly looked outside the room with a stern look in his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Who?"

"Inspector of the Demon Suppression Bureau Headquarters!" The voice outside was extremely cold, and an object was thrown in.

"..." The commander of Shengze City took the token with a solemn expression.

"You have been ordered by the headquarters to hand over the magic sword and send it to the temple of the Demon-Subduing Master immediately. Why are you disobeying?" The voice outside said coldly.

"Although the token came from Shi Zhenshou of the headquarters, it conveys the intention of the great elder of Tianlu Holy Land." The commander of Shengze City frowned and said, "The divine sword is of great importance. We dare not move it lightly without identification!"

"You can send it over now." The chief hall inspector said calmly.

"As an inspector, you have the power to monitor me, but you are not qualified to give me orders!"

"This time, what was conveyed was the intention of the Supreme Commander of the Demon Suppression Division!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the commander of Shengze City couldn't help but change his expression and said, "Even the highest commander of my headquarters wants to kill him? He is..."

"Don't talk nonsense without any evidence."

The chief inspector said slowly: "This is the murderer who destroyed Shanwang Manor, killed Captain Peng, and is about to kill the Grand Elder of the Holy Land!"

"You have to remember one thing, the human race's Saint Master is still in Zhennan King City!"
