Chapter 757: Chapter 349: Feast at Nightfall

Suddenly, all the council members gasped, staring intently at Lu Shuai.

Lu Shuai used to be unremarkable, but now, no matter who’s in power, they have to show him some respect. Utilizing him brings many benefits, yet here he is risking his future and life to directly challenge Ye Shidao?

The Night God has left many nightmares on this land. Although it was long ago, the style is still fresh in people’s memory. His followers are bloodthirsty and frenzied, with an intense contagion, often leading to the annihilation of cities, causing great suffering. While all Old Gods are cruel, the scale that Night God has achieved is rare. Night God is a very taboo existence throughout the Dao Yuan Continent.

The Bloodthirsty Monarch is precisely the formidable general under Night God’s command, a slaughter vanguard.

On stage, Ye Shidao, who had weathered countless storms, remained very calm. "Nonsense, although I don’t know what benefits the Potter Family offered you, no one believes in spreading lies here. Step down."

"Ye Shidao, who’s saying it’s spreading lies," the Duke of the Potter Family chuckled. His strategy had worked after all. Lu Shuai finally couldn’t resist the sense of justice within him and was willing to be the vanguard. His effectiveness as the vanguard far surpasses the backup plan he had arranged.

Ye Shidao glanced lightly at the Duke of the Potter Family, "Your arrangements are in vain too."

The Duke of the Potter Family also stepped out. For the Potter Family, it was the moment of life and death. If Ye Shidao succeeds today, the Potter Family would be the first to be destroyed. At this moment, it’s the time for strength and heritage.

"Colleagues, today I must say, Council Member Lu Shuai is indeed the descendant of Governor Luthor, also our pride of Li Long. Courageous and responsible, representing our justice of Li Long. Ye Shidao has hidden well these years, but the shadow of the Blood Origin Cult has been lingering near Dragon City continuously. The Church Court and Night Patrol have paid a huge price in repeated attempts to eliminate them but failed. Strictly speaking, what was eliminated were just some pawns; over these years, Ye Shidao has nurtured a large number of Blood Demon warriors!"

Ji Mingyue frowned, wanting to speak but ultimately said nothing, glanced at Ye Shidao, who remained calm and showed no intention of stopping the Duke of the Potter Family.

The Potter Duke was also, in his old age, experiencing youthful madness. Nalan Potter quietly watched, feeling the challenge as if the sky were collapsing before him.

"Princess, you must be blinded by him. Evidence? That’s easy. The Black Iron Guard entering the city brings Blood Demon warriors encased in leather. Their bloodthirsty nature is sealed by powerful Barrier Masters. Once released, the entire Dragon Capital will become ruins!" The Potter Duke pointed fiercely at Ye Shidao, "Now, I ask everyone to unite and seize this culprit. If proven wrong, I’m willing to repay with my life for the slander!"

"Potter Duke, don’t speak irresponsibly. You say it is?"

"Yes, your Potter Family is the cancer of Li Long, sucking the blood of all of us to feed your family. What deserves death is you!"

The Potter Duke waved his hand broadly, followed by a clap. From among the followers, a middle-aged man stepped forward, "This is a diviner from the foreign Fiery Sun Church. Under the Sun God’s radiance, demons have nowhere to hide. Is he a Blood Demon will be known at an inspection!"

"Landry, you’re outrageous, bring in a cult to slander your own Grand Governor!"

The Potter Duke laughed, "The Fiery Sun Church is one of the seven major orthodox churches of the Sixth Epoch, openly permitted, and within Li Long, religious freedom is respected. Why be nervous? It’s merely identifying demons. Are you feeling guilty?"

Several council members who had wanted to support suddenly found themselves at a loss for words. Indeed, the Fiery Sun Church couldn’t be considered a cult, legitimately allowed to exist, merely being far from Li Long with few believers.

A middle-aged, bald man with an eagle nose, a pair of bright blue eyes, spoke in Hera Language, "I sense a strong Blood Demon presence here, most intense on this person, unable to suppress. May I use Magic for verification!"

Yet many on-site still remained half-convinced, reluctant to doubt Ye Shidao due to the emergence of such a strange person. Ye Shidao’s credibility over the years was still very strong, though indeed somewhat puzzled.

Ji Mingyue knew if things dragged on, problems might truly arise. Her ascent to Empress greatly relied on Ye Shidao; both were like grasshoppers tied together, for the throne to stabilize, Ye Shidao was crucial. Their alliance was predetermined, and she must step forward now.

Ji Mingyue stood up ready to speak, but Ye Shidao laughed, "Everyone, having spent so long together, overall, it’s been quite pleasant, but every farce needs an end."

"Ye Shidao, you admit?" Despite his seasoned scheming, the Duke of the Potter Family couldn’t hide the joy on his face, unexpected by how easily his opponent surrendered. Seeing Ji Mingyue stand up just moments ago worried him. If she forcibly intervened as Princess, he would have been troubled.

"Yes, indeed, we are all Night God’s children, and I am the most loyal servant of the great Night God. The epoch changes, restoring order, Night God has awakened!" Ye Shidao spread his arms, filled with delight on his face.

Ji Mingyue remained silent. This wasn’t the plan; what does he want? Night God was supposed to be her leverage against Moon God’s Court, but not used this way. Ye Shidao is simply foolish.

The middle-aged man beside her blocked her way; at this time, self-preservation was the best choice.

"Good, good, good, everyone heard, devout followers of the cruel Old God, disguised for so many years, who knows how many they’ve harmed. Now everyone jointly seize this cultist!" The Potter Duke shouted.

Suddenly, a powerful aura emerged, the aura of an Angel. Li Moqian secretly returned, evidently prepared enough by the Potter Family, sitting idly was impossible. Today, if peaceful means fail, then force will be used. Meanwhile, numerous Black Iron Guards surged in, Li Moqian casually regarded these shrimp soldiers and crab generals indifferently; as the Knight Order’s leader, whether the Church Court acted or not, he was determined to act, and this embodied his Knightly Path.

Ye Shidao ignored the crowd, absorbed in his own world. At this time, within the city, originally orderly patrols of Black Iron Guard suddenly looked up at the sky. The sky was clouded, the red moon completely shrouded, gloomy as if about to fall, an elusive suffocating aura seemed to encircle the entire Dragon Capital.

Today is a life-and-death situation; he was prepared for both outcomes.

Originally pinning the massacres on the Potter Family was best, but since they’ve torn their faces, it doesn’t impact his plan. Everything was ready anyway.

From the moment the Black Iron Guard entered the city, he already won. Besides, he was somewhat impatient.

A certain will was breaking through the spatial barrier, attempting to descend.

Responding to this will’s guidance, the Black Iron Guard revealed fangs, his previously serious and dull eyes instantly turned crimson, beginning indiscriminate attacks on everyone in contact.

"Night has fallen." Ye Shidao squinted his eyes and said lightly.

While speaking, Ye Shidao emitted a powerful angelic aura, a follower of the Bloodthirsty Monarch—the Peak Blood Angel!

The diviner from Fiery Sun Church now sensed a rival of faith, yet undeterred by death, his body radiated intense light, infusing Spiritual Ability into the Holy Water thrown at Ye Shidao. Ye Shidao crushed the Holy Water bottle, and as it contacted his body, white steam arose. Ye Shidao stretched out his arms, and suddenly, the blood within the diviner’s body uncontrollably erupted, spurting like a human-shaped sprinkler.

The present Black Iron Guard had gone completely mad, grabbing nearby council members started biting, turning the entire council into complete chaos. Li Moqian revealed his true Battle Angel form, solving several frenzied Blood Demons casually, then turned around and cleaved open the council, creating an escape opening for the chaotic crowd.

His target is the Blood Angel.
