A pillar of divine light shot up into the sky.
A middle-aged man stepped on the golden light and strolled over.
"Little deity pays respects to the Mountain Lord!" He bowed respectfully when he was ten paces away from Yang Qifeng.
His tone was respectful, his attitude humble, a stark contrast to the roar from earlier.
He had a neatly trimmed beard that hung down to his chest, exuding a gentle and refined demeanor.
However, in Yang Qifeng's eyes, it all felt fake, really fake.
Yang Qifeng had a very comprehensive understanding of this Great Marsh Land Deity, even more so than of the Great Marsh Demon General.
The Great Marsh Mountain Deity had contributed the most to this knowledge. Before the Great Marsh Mountain Deity was suppressed, the Great Marsh Land Deity already existed, while the Great Marsh Demon General came later. Therefore, as a fellow deity of the Great Marsh Mountain, the Great Marsh Mountain Deity understood the Great Marsh Land Deity the best, describing him as unpredictable and prone to fits of rage.
"The temple has already prepared a grand feast, please come and enjoy it, Mountain Lord," the Great Marsh Land Deity said again before Yang Qifeng could speak.
"Is the fine wine ready?" Yang Qifeng's voice was deep and resonant.
"Spring water and strong liquor, the Mountain Lord's favorite."
"Please!"
"No need, another day perhaps."
Yang Qifeng's face was hazy, his eyes narrowed behind the divine light. He calculated the time, and his body was enveloped in a rainbow of divine light. He lifted his arm, opened his palm, and formed a seal with his fingers.
Golden light rained down,
Dense and thick, covering the sky and sprinkling over the earth.
Yang Qifeng himself transformed into a beam of golden light, shooting off into the distance.
"Since the Mountain Lord has come, why leave?" The Great Marsh Land Deity's face twisted into a cold smile, his eyes icy cold.
With a wave of his arm, a large sleeve billowed out, and a net instantly unfurled.
The net was woven with divine light, forming a web of intersecting lines.
The net glowed brilliantly,
Arriving later but reaching first, majestic and awe-inspiring.
"I knew the Mountain Lord would break free, so I have been preparing for a long time," the Great Marsh Land Deity said calmly, a shadow appearing on his body, flowing inside and out, then spreading behind him, forming a picture.
A mountain peak pierced the sky, its sides sheer, topped with scenic clouds and connected to the earth below, standing alone like a cloud terrace.
The divine light of the net intensified, losing its illusory quality and becoming solid, with all the small holes disappearing.
The Great Marsh Land Deity's clothes fluttered in the wind, his eyes smiling, confident in his attack.
The net of divine light intersected, blocking the path. Yang Qifeng's forward momentum changed mid-air, his figure appearing and exiting the rainbow state.
His body twisted in mid-air, changing direction to head towards the Great Marsh Land Deity.
Golden and red light broke through the air, rushing over quickly.
"Is this not what the Mountain Lord should do? To leave upon meeting, how can this make things easy for me?" The Great Marsh Land Deity's tone was gentle, but his eyes burned with deep hatred.
This hatred was somewhat familiar to Yang Qifeng. He soon realized why it was familiar, as it mirrored his own expression and gaze from the past.
The Great Marsh Land Deity's hatred was no less than his own hatred for that despicable woman.
Indeed, the Great Marsh Mountain Deity was not a good person. He must have oppressed the Great Marsh Land Deity in some way, causing such deep resentment. Even after thousands of years, his hatred had not diminished.
"Hmm," the Great Marsh Land Deity, who had been so composed, suddenly exclaimed, his face contorting with anger. "Feigning a move to lure me away, the Mountain Lord is courting death!"
His refined demeanor vanished completely.
His face twisted in rage, and he became agitated.
The drastic change in demeanor was so contradictory.
He turned and left directly.
He rushed downward, abandoning Yang Qifeng.
Watching the Great Marsh Land Deity's actions, Yang Qifeng did not stop. He appeared in mid-air, transformed into a long rainbow, and used the divine light to cover his escape, leaving a faint golden trail. A golden and red light disappeared into the second mountain.
After leaving the second mountain, he revealed his true form.
He shed his golden armor, transforming into a green robe.
He walked to the agreed location and sat down cross-legged.
He began to wait for the Great Marsh Mountain Deity, not at all worried about his safety. This time, he had some trouble, but if the Great Marsh Land Deity had not suddenly turned, he would have been in danger.
Back then, when he released the Great Marsh Mountain Deity, surrounded by countless demons, and with the Great Marsh Demon General and the Great Marsh Land Deity outside, he still managed to escape.
Now, with just the Great Marsh Land Deity, he could not be held.
Sitting down, he began to reflect on his actions. This time, Yang Qifeng had to admit the strength of the Great Marsh Land Deity, a Thunder Tribulation expert.
The aura he emitted was oppressive.
In a direct battle, Yang Qifeng had no chance of winning.
The Great Marsh Land Deity could match the Great Marsh Demon General, who had withstood eight Thunder Tribulations. The difference in strength was not significant.
He must have at least the power of a five Thunder Tribulation expert, with a vast gap between his Yuan Shen and Thunder Tribulation.
The thunder aura from the Great Marsh Land Deity made Yang Qifeng's internal magic difficult to circulate, and his movements were somewhat obstructed.
This was a natural weakening aura, no wonder Thunder Tribulation experts could crush those at the Yuan Shen stage.
The difference was not just in strength but also in the weakening effect, making the gap even greater.
Footsteps approached, and the Great Marsh Mountain Deity, dressed in a long robe, walked over with ease, waving his hand in front of Yang Qifeng.
The golden armor automatically flew out in front of Yang Qifeng, quickly fitting onto the Great Marsh Mountain Deity and then disappearing.
"Did you get it?" Yang Qifeng stood up and asked straight to the point.
"Here," the Great Marsh Mountain Deity took out a key from his pocket.
The key was rather ancient, covered in rust, and about the size of a palm.
Held in the Great Marsh Mountain Deity's hand, he flicked it, and the key drew an arc in the air, landing accurately in Yang Qifeng's hand.
Yang Qifeng's hand, with black hair, held the key, his eyes filled with doubt.
"Is the Blood of the Demon Deity in this key? I don't see anything special about it," Yang Qifeng carefully examined it, his divine sense scanning over it, finding it to be ordinary, like a mundane object.
"An ordinary object that can last for ten thousand years," the Great Marsh Mountain Deity countered, then continued, "This key was obtained from a General Meng ten thousand years ago. It looks ordinary but is extremely sturdy, indestructible, and has its own internal space that can isolate all auras."
"Without knowing the method to operate it, it cannot be opened."
"He gave it to you," the Great Marsh Mountain Deity said generously. (A great event with amazing prizes, including cool phones!
