Chapter 31

Who! Who! Who killed my grandson!

Inside the vast temple, weasel statues filled the space; at this moment, one weasel statue was raging.

It sensed the extinguishing of its grandson's life lamp; after flying into a rage, the weasel leapt out of the statue, revealing its true form—a huge weasel.

Ancestor, ancestor, please grant mercy and reveal your power!

A huge weasel knelt before the temple's statue, desperately pleading.

"In the south, near the expeditionary force!" the statue suddenly spoke.

"Thank you, ancestor, for your mercy!" At the instant the huge weasel charged out of the temple.

Buzz!

A blade of light flashed, forcing the huge weasel to retreat backwards.

I hope the Emperor Lord will show mercy, sparing it for its merit in regulating the waterways!

From the statue called the ancestor, an old man emerged, loudly pleading.

Considering its merit, a minor punishment, a major warning!

From the blade's light came a solemn voice; in an instant, the huge weasel's tail was severed, its centuries of cultivation withered, unknown how many years it would take to recover.

The blade's light faded; the weasel called the ancestor dared to be angry but not speak.

Watching its descendant suffer immensely, it could only sigh, pouring its own incense into the other's body to ease the injury.

Ancestor, I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled!

Shut up, what can I do? It's not that I'm currently guarding that thing; that slash just now was aimed at me!

The ancestor cursed in frustration, though he also had a temple and incense, but what kind of god is he, and what kind of god is Guan Sheng Dijun?

If it weren't for the Court ennobling it as a household deity, receiving offerings, and now bearing a heavy duty, the other side slaying it would be its proper duty.

You think Subjugate Demons and Suppress Monsters targets what? It's just these mountain sprites and wild monsters.

Not to mention standing and talking to them; just staying alive from their hands is already good luck.

After a moment of silence, the ancestor's eyes also flashed a hint of resentment.

It knows the Heavenly Gods have always looked down on these Jia Xian, but this time the other side's undisguised domineering is utterly a slap to its face.

If it does nothing, how can it lead its clan? It can't defeat the Heavenly Gods, but the Heavenly Gods aren't omnipotent; if they were, they wouldn't be sitting here.

Gods cannot interfere in the mortal realm—that is the greatest binding on the Heavenly Gods!

Issue the order: let the Qing Court send troops to slay him! Notify the other four clans, have all uncultivated elites mobilize—I want him dead!

……

Mu Yi looked somewhat helplessly at the 【Blood Vengeance】 mark on his panel.

One could say it's hardly surprising, given the Jiuzhou characteristic.

Strike the young, and you'll surely provoke the old.

To be frank, if it weren't for lightning restraining this weasel, this fight would still be quite tough.

Even with lightning restraining it, he had exhausted his means; at this moment, not a trace of Inner Qi remained in his body, and a strong sense of hunger was spreading through him.

Mu Yi had just tried to take off his poison-resistant mask and pour the bottled blood-activating soup into his stomach when he suddenly smelled an extraordinarily odd odor.

Mu Yi hastily held his breath, but that deep‑lung foul smell made him wave after wave of nausea.

He finally recalled that the weasel also had a secret technique: his mother's fart.

If it weren't for this poison-resistant mask being effective, the outcome between him and the weasel would really be up for debate.

Rushing out of the area shrouded in yellow smoke, Mu Yi only felt unclean.

Damn weasel! I need to kill you a hundred times—still not enough!

Just as Mu Yi flew into a rage, a new prompt refreshed on his retina.

Faction prompt: You have entered a hostile state with the Qing Court; the Qing Court Army will launch a encirclement and suppression against you.

Faction prompt: You have been placed on a wanted list by the Qing Court-Great Immortal Huang; uncultivated spirits and monsters will accept bounties to hunt you.

Faction prompt: You have slain the weasel spirit monster; based on your faction (the Rebellion Army), you gain 100 points of Rebellion Army prestige.

Dungeon prompt: You have triggered the hidden quest, Eliminate the Five Harms.

Eliminate the Five Harms:

After the sun and moon turn, dynasties change, and once the Qing Court occupies the Central Plains' rivers and mountains, it does not revere the Heavenly Gods and Earth Deities, instead honoring some demons and evil spirits as immortal households, offering them worship day and night, even using these Wild Gods to replace the Heavenly Court's proper deities.

The Heavenly Gods and Earth Deities are limited by the Severed Heaven Thread restriction, unable to personally destroy demons and evil spirits; and the proper deities, not possessing bodies, likewise cannot cleanse via the hands of divine messengers of believers.

In the end, the Heavenly Gods and Earth Deities despise this land, and countless Heavenly Gods and Earth Deities sever ties with this realm.

After this, the various Heavenly Gods and Earth Deities almost all disappeared.

However, deities such as Yanluo, Wenchang, Caishen and other Heavenly Gods and Earth Deities are closely linked with the common folk and cannot be fully severed, so they must endure the Qing Court's disgust day after day.

The Military Strategist heirs who have been wandering abroad, it is time to take up the old trade again, start breaking mountains and felling temples, and bring everything back to the proper way.

Mission Information:

Destroy Family Immortal Temple (0/5) repeatable

Kill Family Immortal spawn (1/5) repeatable

Mission Rewards: Heavenly Gods and Earth Deities faction reputation, Heavenly Gods and Earth Deities exclusive treasure, Heavenly Gods and Earth Deities exclusive boon.

After reading the mission information, Mu Yi, who had been a bit worried that some unknown guardian Family Immortal might jump out from a corner and instantly kill him, instantly straightened his back.

Hmph, you beat the younger ones and now the older ones come; you must have a backer, right?

I, the little lord, am now also hunting thieves by decree; let my subordinates see my true mettle.

As long as those old monsters don't show up, everything else is easy.

But speaking of that, Jiuzhou's Dungeon is indeed unfriendly to Zongwang Players from other civilizations.

If it were Zongwang Players from another civilization, killing this yellow weasel today might mean a Transcendent yellow weasel appears tomorrow.

In the end, perhaps those old monsters will all appear.

Not to mention Apprentice Rank Zongwang Players; even the Transcendent Rank Zongwang Players would already be quite formidable.

But it's fine; after all, he's a native of Jiuzhou.

His butt decides his head, so he'll definitely stick with the big boss until the end.

Continuing along the road, the crowd gradually roared, and the clashing of swords began to echo; Mu Yi knew he had come to the right place.

"Catch him; don't let him run away!"

Several unusually sturdy soldiers, brandishing knives and spears, chased a flustered youth.

"Damn traitors! Damn the White Lotus Sect!"

Li Tian's face turned ashen; they never expected that the Court and the White Lotus Sect, mortal enemies, would actually join forces. The Rebellion Army, which had hoped to fish in the muddied waters, was caught completely off guard and now could only scatter and flee.

"Whoosh!" An arrow sliced through the air; Li Tian's calf seared with pain, and he fell to the ground.

"Kid, you're pretty quick on your feet! Let's see where you can run now!" Several Qing Court soldiers no longer rushed; Li Tian, with his calf pierced, couldn't escape their grasp.
