Chapter 61: Jiang Yan's Confrontation

"It... it really came!"

"The Wood Spirit Immortal Lord who can... kill gods!"

The villagers trembled and retreated, as if seeing the most terrible demon in the world.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you so afraid of me?"

Jiang Yan scratched his ear, constantly scanning the surroundings with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Im... Immortal Lord!"

The burly man at the front lowered his head, his tone carrying a hint of unnaturalness.

"Are you the leader here?"

Jiang Yan looked at the burly man.

"Y... yes."

The burly man's tone seemed fearful, seemed angry, in short, carried an indescribable feeling.

"Then, you answer my question."

Jiang Yan said calmly.

He looked at everyone with a blank expression; in fact, Jiang Yan in a blank-expression state was far more terrifying than Jiang Yan with an expression, even an angry one.

This was what Little Ganyu understood.

Jiang Yan was very unhappy at this moment!

"Y... yes..."

The burly man gritted his teeth, as if gathering courage, glaring at Jiang Yan.

"W... why did you destroy our peaceful life! Why did you start a war with Chi Shen!!"

"And you severely injured our Chi Shen, no longer protecting us!"

"Heh... what a ridiculous reason..."

Jiang Yan couldn't help but laugh in anger after hearing this.

How stupid must one be to say such things?

"You think... I started the war?"

"You think... I destroyed your home?"

Jiang Yan stepped forward and questioned them repeatedly.

"You have the guts to go out and look yourselves!"

"Who exactly destroyed your home?"

"If I didn't fight Chi, your so-called Chi Shen would destroy my home!"

"Why severely injured?"

"I'll tell you plainly!"

"I didn't kill him on the spot only because he ran fast!"

"Ask yourselves honestly, who exactly started the war?"

"Who gathered those ferocious demons to destroy your home and slaughter your friends!"

Jiang Yan's relentless questioning left the humans before him unable to lift their heads; he looked at everyone with a cold sneer.

"You dare not think, you are unwilling to think!"

"You are unwilling to believe this war was started by the Chi Shen you worship."

"You are unwilling to believe those demons were actively gathered by your Chi Shen!"

"You shifted the blame for this war onto the victor."

"I also want to ask you, if I really wanted to do something to you, do you think your Chi Shen would care about you?"

Everyone's faces turned pale; Jiang Yan's words had undoubtedly torn away their last shred of shame.

Their faith was collapsing; in this chaotic world where demon gods fought as battlefields, ordinary people without combat power were forever food and cannon fodder in the eyes of those cold-blooded gods.

Perhaps this was why Morax could gain the support of so many humans...

A demon god possessing extremely strong power who also loved his subjects was truly rare in the War of the Demon Gods.

Jiang Yan's words made this group of people collapse weakly to the ground one by one; those whose faith had collapsed were even wailing loudly.

But without exception, no one refuted Jiang Yan's words.

When they tried to use reasons to refute Jiang Yan, their refutations were so pale and weak.

Weak to the point they didn't believe them themselves.

When one person cannot win an argument against another, they usually solve the problem through force.

But obviously, this group combined wasn't enough for Jiang Yan to fight with one hand.

"Stand up."

Jiang Yan had vented his anger; this barrage of questions had made his originally stifled mood feel much better.

With his mood much improved, Jiang Yan's tone appeared much softer.

"Your Chi Shen has already been defeated."

"Now this Qingce Village is the territory of the Geo Archon Morax."

"Whether you are willing to submit and worship the Geo Archon, or leave here and follow the footsteps of your Chi Shen, that is your business."

"I will give you time."

The villagers exchanged glances, and one of them said tremblingly:

"Y... you won't kill us?"

"Am I sick or something? Why would I kill you?"

Jiang Yanwang rolled his eyes in exasperation.

"Whether you stay or go is your own business. If you leave, others will naturally take your place."

The villagers fell silent; perhaps they too were lost regarding their own future.

On this land where war rages without cease, even if they went out, where could they go?

Perhaps... joining the camp of the Geo Archon was the best choice.

"Do we... still have the right to believe in the Geo Archon?"

The woman holding the child wept softly.

"As long as you believe with sincerity, the happy days you envision... will not be far off."

Seeing that these villagers had no intention of leaving, Jiang Yanwang continued:

"Then, villagers who wish to stay, do not just loiter here. Join the Millelith outside and thoroughly clean Qingce Village!"

"By the way, remember one more thing in your stupid heads."

Jiang Yan looked at the crowd.

"I am not the Immortal Who Eats People!"
