I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night-Chapter 1357 - 710: The Southern Ghost Emperor’s Resolve (Part 2)

"Although the Saint Master is strong, his cultivation is limited, and within a short period, it is hard for him to become of the Emperor Realm."

The Central Ghost Emperor pondered and said, "Even if the elite of the Human Clan form a Great Array, they cannot withstand our combined forces."

The Western Ghost Emperor replied, "Moreover, the Yin Soldiers under our command are not completely exhausted."

He had once been sneak attacked by the Human Race Saint Master at his foundation, leaving a lingering fear and resentment.

Among those present, besides the Southern Ghost Emperor, it was this Western Ghost Emperor who hated Lin Yan the most, wanting to eliminate that Human Race Saint Master.

"Regroup and recruit a large army, surround the South Mountain Sacred Land, and once night falls, break through in one go!"

The Eastern Ghost Emperor spoke thus.

But among those present, each harbored their own ulterior motives.

Attacking the South Mountain Sacred Land naturally required full effort.

Yet the Saint Master is cunning; he could set the trap last night, and may still have tricks up his sleeve.

Moreover, the other high ranks of the Netherworld are not benevolent either.

Their own foundations still need to retain enough forces for defense, leaving behind sufficiently strong Guardian Divine Artifacts and Great Arrays.

"Prince Jiu..."

At this moment, the Northern Ghost Emperor looked over and said, "This war started because of you and is led by you. Your Upper Nether Prison General turned out to be a spy for the Human Clan..."

Ninth Hall Yama raised his head, his eyes deep and dark.

"Are you all wanting to blame the failure of this war on me?"

"Don't forget, before this war began, I disclosed all the information to you."

"Concerning the Lonely Boat Mysterious Fog and that Marquis Lingyou, you personally verified them."

"How did they become spies for the Human Clan, and how can you blame me for not seeing through it?"

Ninth Hall Yama was extremely resentful in his heart.

The biggest reason for the failure of this war was the Lonely Boat Mysterious Fog.

If not for the Lonely Boat Mysterious Fog, even if millions of troops directly attacked the South Mountain Sacred Land, it wouldn't have been such a disastrous defeat.

It happened that the Lonely Boat Mysterious Fog led the way, placing all the Netherworld's army at the site buried with the Holy Master's Divine Statue, causing the military formation to collapse.

They thought they were being cautious by letting the Lonely Boat Mysterious Fog lead three thousand Vanguard Army as a test.

Yet they hadn't thought that the sacrifice of these three thousand Vanguard Army was merely a trap.

Including the subsequent victory and occupation by thirty thousand Yin Soldiers, also a trap.

Thinking carefully now, when Marquis Lingyou hesitated and didn't advance, it was probably also part of the Human Clan's scheme.

Both Marquis Lingyou and the Lonely Boat Mysterious Fog were spies of the Human Clan embedded within the Netherworld.

"Damn it! Marquis Lingyou was embedded in the Mortal World by me thousands of years ago, how could he betray?"

"Moreover, when Marquis Lingyou returned to the Netherworld during the resurrection of All Gods... At that time, the Human Race Saint Master was missing, and the Human Clan's status unstable, did they already plan for today's situation?"

With thoughts circling in the Ninth Hall King Yan's mind.

Seeing all the high ranks of the Netherworld looking at him.

"Tonight's battle, whether it falls into the trap of the Human Race Saint Master, is indeed hard to predict."

"Since last night's defeat originated from Prince Jiu, let Prince Jiu lead the army and attack first!"

"..."

Ninth Hall King Yan's heart sank slightly, already understanding that last night's battle shattered the arrogance of the high ranks of the Netherworld, making them cowardly and reluctant.

He laughed heartily, shaking his head and said, "The Human Race Saint Master has been alive for but a few decades, even if his cultivation progresses rapidly and his skills grow, he is still just a junior."

"Among those present, you have existed for countless millennia—are you truly afraid of a mere junior child?"

"For decades, he has focused solely on cultivation to reach his current progress—how many heads does he have to plan and research?"

"Last night's strategy likely exhausted all his schemes."

"He dragged it out until the sun was about to rise, only then revealing his hidden weapon, relying solely on the Great Sun God Monarch's radiance to confront our Netherworld army."

"He clearly fears appearing at night, being surrounded and killed at South Mountain Sacred Land by our forces."

"He could not predict that the Southern Emperor would rather exhaust his essence to seal him within the South Mountain Sacred Land."

"We initially considered that he would rescue South Mountain Sacred Land, thus surrounding and killing him there."

Ninth Hall King Yan slowly spoke, "Now, it's merely the extermination of a batch of Yin Soldiers, merely delaying the outcome by a day... until tonight, the result will be the same as previously planned."

He spoke thus, "The Human Race Saint Master is indeed caught in our trap, stepping into defeat! He does not possess the depth you imagine, nor the immense strength you consider..."

Having said so, Prince Jiu took a deep breath and said, "Therefore, there's no need for me alone to lead the army into South Mountain Sacred Land."

"After all this, are you still afraid of him?"

The Southern Ghost Emperor said harshly, "You claim he lacks skill yet you don't dare to take the lead?"

The atmosphere in the field became stagnant.

After a while, Ninth Hall King Yan sighed.

"Forget it, you all resent me for this battle..."

Ninth Hall King Yan spoke out, "I will take it!"

——

Inside South Mountain Sacred Land.

The turn of events indeed came as a surprise.

No one expected that the Southern Ghost Emperor would rather exhaust his essence to seal tens of thousands of miles of land.

Now isolated inside and out, even the Tribulation Treasure Ship finds it difficult to forcibly break through the Southern Ghost Emperor's essence seal in one day.

"Trouble..."

The Kunlun Emperor's complexion was complicated, "Our Human Clan already achieved great victory in this war, unexpected that the Southern Ghost Emperor has such boldness, and now the Saint Master is sealed here, any loss would render any great victory null!"

This current era allows the Human Clan a stable existence solely because of the Saint Master's presence, balancing all sides.

The Human Clan's accumulation over the past decades has produced many strong individuals and formed a lot of elite troops, yet still lacks an entity that can stand alone.

If the Saint Master is lost, the Human Clan wouldn't even have breathing space.

This era, despite the unprecedented foundation of the Human Clan, with immense strength, able to suppress evil and even reduce the erosion of Deceit Night.

Nonetheless against All Gods revival and Netherworld in the mortal world... confronting beings surviving from the Ancient Era, even Prehistoric times, the Human Clan's foundation is still far inferior.

In this immense era, the Heavenly God and the Old God, and the Ghost God of the Netherworld are like Heavenly Dragons and Divine Tigers, while the Human Clan... is but a young beast just growing fangs.

If the Saint Master dies, the Human Clan's fangs would be broken.

"The Southern Ghost Emperor's boldness indeed came unexpectedly, yet since the situation is as it is, focusing on dealing with it is more prudent than futile worries."

Lin Yan's expression was complex, slowly speaking, "Even in dangerous situations, opportunities might arise... perhaps this is the chance for the Human Clan to fully gain footing."

Aboard the Tribulation Treasure Ship, the Ten Thousand Heroes of the Human Race continued to calculate the breaking method of this predicament.

Long ago, Lin Yan disclosed his entire skill set, including the two Great Divine Powers, Demon Suppression and Qi Eating, to the Ten Thousand Heroes of the Human Race.

Thus enabling the creation of subsequent methods such as the Red Dust Tribulation Method, Divine Split and Thought Transformation, and Hundred Lives Tribulation, among others.

This current arrangement was also formulated by the Ten Thousand Heroes of the Human Race.

Using the Holy Master's Divine Statue's intimidation, the Mortal Dojo's coverage, the Netherworld Internal View's effect, Reincarnation's collection of Heroic Spirits, etc., to set this battle, enough to obliterate the millions of Netherworld army completely!

It's merely that the Southern Emperor exhausts his essence to seal the tens of thousands of miles, which was indeed an unforeseen variable for the Ten Thousand Heroes of the Human Race.

Yet not without a breaking solution.

With the abilities of the Human Race Saint Master and decades of accumulation and arrangements.

The current dilemma may indeed have a resolution.

"Regarding the Southern Emperor's seal, I have a method to break through and can live to escape this predicament..."

Lin Yan paused and said, "But I might temporarily not be able to guard South Mountain Sacred Land."

"If the Saint Master has an idea, feel free to proceed."

The Kunlun Emperor greeted and said, "The Human Clan's development over the past several decades is established upon the civilizations of the Red Nether Era, Emperor Era, Kai Ming Era, and Holy Alliance Era... The combination of four eras' systems complements each other, leading to significant progress, the current foundation of the Human Clan is not considered weak."
