97: The Fengyang City God Temple was utterly annihilated! The Fengxian Division trembled! The drums sounded!
After the White-Robed Underworld Official discovered this, he rushed out of the water again and charged toward the location of the Fengyang City God and the other Underworld Officials.
"Save me!"
He had just arrived in front of the Fengyang City God and the others.
Whoosh---
A piercing whistle sounded.
A pitch-black Iron Rod descended from the sky, plunging through the crown of his head and pinning him directly to the ground!
[Writing up to this point, I hope readers remember our domain name: Look for smooth reading when reading Taiwanese novels]
"Ugh..."
The White-Robed Underworld Official's eyes were wide open, his body unable to move, his soul directly pierced by the soul-fixing needles!
He had already suffered heavy injuries, and now, pierced by the Secret Treasure soul-fixing needles, his soul immediately began to dissipate!
It... dares to kill me!?
Before his soul dissipated, this thought lingered constantly in the White-Robed Underworld Official's mind.
Looking at the corpse of the White-Robed Underworld Official before them, the Fengyang City God and the others were utterly stunned.
"Boom!"
A clap of thunder startled them awake from their stupor.
The Fengyang City God suddenly felt a gaze land upon him. His body trembled, and he struggled to raise his head.
Subsequently, he saw a pair of enormous golden eyes appear before him.
This was the first time the Fengyang City God, Huang Yushu, had seen Xu Qing.
Instead of the anticipated anger and killing intent, only fear and shock remained in his heart.
The Fengyang City God was terrified to the extreme, the fat all over his body trembling, shaking constantly like chaff in a sieve.
"You are the Fengyang City God?"
A muffled whisper sounded.
The Fengyang City God's legs went soft, and he nodded tremblingly: "Y-yes... yes."
"Boom!"
As the words fell, a ball of flame descended, instantly burning him to ashes.
There were no screams, not even time to react, and the Lord City God of Fengyang County completely vanished from this world.
The remaining Judges, Captains, and Underworld Officials of the Fengyang City God Temple were stunned by the scene before them, with only terror left in their eyes as they looked at Xu Qing.
At this moment, Xu Qing noticed the Old Daoist Priest being held by two Underworld Officials, and suddenly found him somewhat familiar.
"It's Li Xuanxiao. He was the one who summoned the previous rain," the Jingyue River God whispered.
Xu Qing nodded, too lazy to waste any more words on the Underworld Officials before him, and immediately took action to start the cleansing.
"Run!"
A Judge yelled and turned around, attempting to flee.
But for Xu Qing, among the Spells he mastered, Soul Seizing, Spirit Expulsion, and even Immobilization could restrain the Underworld Officials before him.
Trying to escape in front of him was harder than ascending to heaven.
"Spirit Expulsion!"
A low shout echoed.
The bodies of the many Judges and Captains were completely fixed, unable to move!
As early as when the wind and rain descended, they had suffered heavy injuries. If they hadn't jointly used Incense Offerings Divine Power to protect their bodies, they might have perished before the White-Robed Underworld Official even died.
Where could they possibly find the strength now to resist the power of Spirit Expulsion!
"Boom!"
Thunder followed closely, striking one Underworld Official after another, causing thick smoke to billow from their bodies and their Soul Lights to flicker, threatening to extinguish.
A moment later.
Charred corpses fell to the ground, and after being eroded by the fierce winds, they turned into dust and scattered between heaven and earth.
Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, leaving no bones behind!
At this time, the wind and rain intensified; the pouring rain washed the earth, cleansing the remaining filth and grime.
Xu Qing withdrew his Magic Power, and the wind and rain turned into ordinary rainwater.
The Underworld Officials vanished one by one, and the Old Daoist Priest who had been held captive fell to the ground.
Xu Qing used his Spirit Eyes to check Li Xuanxiao's condition.
"How is he? Can he still be saved?" asked the Jingyue River God.
Xu Qing shook his head: "He is basically about to Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering."
"Hmm?"
Xu Qing suddenly noticed wisps of green Qi appearing. Most of it came towards him, while a small portion merged into the Old Daoist Priest's body.
With the blessing of this green Qi, the Old Daoist Priest's rapidly dissipating soul gradually stabilized.
Although the wind and rain summoned by Li Xuanxiao lasted for a relatively short time, the source of the event stemmed from him, so naturally, some of the Common People's Incense Offerings fell upon him.
Incense Offerings can stabilize the soul.
As long as he didn't Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, the Old Daoist Priest still had a chance to Reincarnate.
"He seems a little better," the Jingyue River God said in surprise.
At the same time.
The Old Daoist Priest's eyelids fluttered, and he slowly opened his eyes, which were filled with despair and indignation.
But when he clearly saw the scene before him and the dense raindrops, despair turned back into surprise.
"This... what is this...?"
The Old Daoist Priest struggled to turn his head and saw Xu Qing and the River God Maiden beside him.
After a moment of shock, he forced a smile: "Snake King, long time no see. I hope you've been well, hasn't it?"
The Jingyue River God shook her head: "Why did you put yourself through this trouble?"
"It is where the Dao of Righteousness lies."
The Old Daoist Priest chuckled. The rainwater seemed to wash away the pain in his body, and he laughed heartily.
A moment later.
His expression then turned solemn. He struggled to raise his hand in a salute and said earnestly: "Thank you, Fellow Daoists."
After speaking.
The Old Daoist Priest's hand dropped weakly, and the light in his eyes slowly faded.
Li Xuanxiao died.
He, who had spent his life Slaying Demons and Eradicating Evil, had two Great Demons standing before him in his final moments.
After a long while.
Xu Qing buried Li Xuanxiao's body and collected all the storage rings left behind by the White-Robed Underworld Official and the others.
After finishing all this.
"What should we do now?"
The Jingyue River God asked somewhat nervously.
"Go home," Xu Qing whispered.
The girl smiled and said, "Okay."
Amidst the wind and rain, Xu Qing carried the Jingyue River God on his back and sped toward the Taihang Mountains... Yunzhou, Linan City.
Inside the Fengxian Division, in a grand hall where Fate Lamps were enshrined.
Without any warning.
A Fate Lamp extinguished.
Only a moment later, dozens more Fate Lamps were extinguished!
The commotion in the hall alarmed all the Cultivators of the Fengxian Division.
"What happened!"
Figures appeared in the hall, looking at the extinguished Fate Lamps, their faces immediately showing uncontrollable rage and shock.
All the Underworld Officials of an entire City God Temple were dead!
Since the Fengxian Division established the City God system, they had never encountered such a thing.
"Who! Who exactly did this!"
A stern shout rang out in the hall.
Before he could continue speaking.
"Ding-a-ling!"
A series of urgent Wind Chime Sounds rang out again.
The expressions of the Cultivators changed, and their figures vanished simultaneously, reappearing on the top floor of the Pavilion.
They stared towards the direction of Fengyang County, their gazes dark as water, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely oppressive.
"This is a provocation! A provocation against my Fengxian Division!"
"Killing our City God Underworld Officials, and now continuing to perform the Rain Summoning Technique! This is a provocation against the entire Great Gan!"
"Kill! No, don't kill him. We must Flay Skin and Tendons, and send his soul into the Soul Refining Lamp to be tormented for a hundred years to deter evildoers!"
"Someone!"
Angry shouts rang out one after another.
The entire Yunzhou Immortal Conferring Department was shaken, and Cultivators appeared one by one, their faces filled with killing intent.
But just at this moment.
"Dong! Dong! Dong!"
Suddenly, a muffled and urgent drum sound resonated throughout Linan City.
Inside the Fengxian Division, the expressions of the Cultivators who were preparing to personally head to Fengyang County changed drastically. They turned their heads in horror to look north...
