Chapter 83

" Auntie Xue, please help rescue the people in the dungeon." Xun Yi first instructed Auntie Xue: "You should know the limits."

Xun Yi, who was qualified to inherit the ancient Zhao secret treasury, would never expose this secret treasury to the public. Therefore, he deliberately knocked out Duan Xiaotian at the time, fearing that the intelligence would leak and cause inconvenience for him in the future.

Although it was the treasure left by the ancient Zhao, if used improperly, it could become a death warrant for Xun Yi.

After all, Xun Yi was the future head of the Xun family. Finding the ancient Zhao secret treasury, if the weapons and wealth inside were taken out, would certainly cross the line set by the imperial court. The court would never allow a large family to control the treasure of this secret treasury. If charged with treason, the entire Xun family would suffer.

As for handing it over to the court? Xun Yi would not do so rashly without personally investigating and knowing what was inside.

After all, Xun Yi, who had been educated from a young age, was still very politically sensitive. Such a handle must not be given to others.

"Rest assured, young master." Auntie Xue blinked: "I will place them in a desolate mountain, then create an illusion of a dungeon to have them rescued by the constables." What Auntie Xue did not tell Xun Yi was that the location of the ancient Zhao secret treasury was a place Xun Yi visited every year.

"This time, the city of Qinglong was protected, and the city's spirit beasts and the demons of Chulu contributed greatly." Xun Yi thought for a moment and instructed Bai Fu: "Settle them in the city, and after meeting the various city gods, I will personally summon them. Oh, and help them heal their wounds first."

"Yes." Bai Fu went to settle them and help the spirit beasts heal.

Xun Yi then discussed the repair of the city's facilities with Judge Wen. Soon, a group of county city gods came.

When the various county city gods entered the hall, they saw a divine light above, but the light of the prefectural city god illuminated the entire hall. Their hearts eased, and they stepped forward to pay their respects.

In the misty clouds, Xun Yi slowly spoke: "The evil spirits invaded Longchuan, but fortunately, with the unity of all the gods and the support of myriad demons and spirits, we finally drove them back. This is your achievement and a blessing for Longchuan."

"City God, there are some things we should not ask, but this incident seems to be caused by someone controlling the city god's golden book and manipulating our true names?" One of the county city gods looked displeased: "The city god's golden book is in your hands, how could such an incident happen?"

"Moreover, your identity seems to be more than just a new city god?" The city god of Jinglong City questioned. They originally thought Xun Yi was just the new city god, but now it seemed that Xun Yi's power attributes were not those of an earth god?

"Indeed, I am merely entrusted by Lord Cao to temporarily assume the position of city god. I was to hand over the position to the new city god, but an evil spirit impersonated me and used a false heavenly decree to usurp the divine position." As he spoke, Xun Yi revealed his divine nature, a red light flashing, showing the aura of the god who governs the fate of heaven and earth.

"God of Fate? The system of blessing gods?" The several city gods, who had intended to accuse, immediately fell silent upon seeing the merit and divine aura of the God of Fate on Xun Yi.

Power is greater than man!

After all, the system of blessing gods was once a direct lineage of the Heavenly Emperor. Even under the rule of the last two Heavenly Emperors, the blessing gods remained the highest-ranking deities in heaven and earth. Especially the God of Fate, even if this God of Fate was newly born and still weak, a deity who could self-realize the position of the God of Fate was bound to be a named existence in the system of blessing gods, destined to become a heavenly deity in the future.

In comparison, the city gods were neither loved by their parents nor favored by the Heavenly Court or the Underworld, with their status being ambiguous and changing with each era.

"As for the details of this incident, only heaven can judge. Follow me to the Heavenly Platform to report to the Heavenly Court." Xun Yi led everyone to the Heavenly Platform at the back, fortunately, it had not been destroyed by the people of the Earth Mother's Palace. They condensed their memories and experiences of the incident into a jade tablet, which Xun Yi presented to the Heavenly Court.

Without any subjective speculation, it was entirely their personal experiences, allowing the Heavenly Court to make a judgment based on their experiences.

The gods reported to the heavens, and in the Heavenly Realm, someone was waiting for the prayers of the gods of Longchuan Prefecture.

In the Tai Chang Heaven, several great gods stood around the well. When the divine light from below rushed up, one of them, dressed in a black and yellow dragon turtle robe, caught the light. The light automatically formed a jade tablet, recording the memories of all the people in Longchuan Prefecture, allowing a clear understanding of the great change in Qinglong City through their perspectives.

The god in the black and yellow robe did not even look at the jade tablet in his hand and said to the two beside him: "This matter is settled, but can you tell which Earth Mother acted?"

Beside him, General Yang pondered: "At least it wasn't those five princes." These gods, under the watch of the Heavenly Court, had orchestrated the great change in Longchuan Prefecture as a trap.

"Not those five?" The face of the god in the black and yellow robe relaxed, meaning it had little to do with his side. This god was the master of the Water Deity, the commander of the city gods, and one of the behind-the-scenes instigators of this incident.

After the first Earth Mother died, she transformed into twelve goddesses, each governing a specific aspect of the earth. If the five were combined, they were the Five Elemental Goddesses, governing the five elements of the earth, born from the five organs of the first Earth Mother. They governed forests, deserts, ice fields, minerals, and the earth itself.

These five goddesses were incorporated into the Heavenly Court during the Yellow Emperor's era and were the backbone of the earth gods under the Heavenly Court.

"If it wasn't the Mother of the Mountains or the Queen of the Netherworld, then it wasn't our Heavenly Court's Earth Mother." The Water Deity master said to the god in black robes on the other side: "Your Highness Yin Tong, the Mother of the Mountains has been in seclusion for a hundred years. Should we ask the Queen of the Netherworld about this matter?"

The Queen of the Netherworld, governing death and the underworld, symbolizing the deepest and most hidden power of the earth, was the uncrowned queen of the underworld, one of the two figures who could stand on equal footing with the Netherworld Emperor.

Just as Lord Yin Tong was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed.

The two beside him hurriedly asked, and Lord Yin Tong smiled bitterly: "Nothing, just the ghost king I had my eye on was taken by the Second Prince."

General Yang thought for a moment and probed: "Lord Cao?"

Lord Yin Tong nodded and closed his eyes to communicate with his body in the underworld.

Lord Yin Tong, under someone's instructions, had teamed up with the Heavenly Court to test the attitude of the Earth Mother's Palace, keeping Lord Cao in the underworld. This action drew the attention of another major figure.

The underworld ghost gods worshiped the Supreme God of the Netherworld, under whom were the Lords, Ghost Kings, and Judges. The Lords were of the seventh heaven, the Ghost Kings of the fifth heaven, and the Judges of the third heaven. Among the forty-eight Lords, ten had reached the higher level of the eighth heaven, known as the Ten Great Lords, assisting the Supreme God in ruling the underworld.

The Lords were titled "Yin," and the Great Lords were titled "Chong," such as Chongren, Chongyong, Chongli, and Chongdian.

Among them, the Great Lord Chongyong was responsible for battles against foreign underworld gods and was one of the most supportive of Lord Cao. When he saw Lord Cao's subordinates come to assist but Lord Cao was absent, he secretly investigated Lord Cao's current situation. This directly enraged him.

He broke the seal on Lord Yin Tong with a single slap, rescued Lord Cao, and learned from Lord Cao about Lord Yin Tong's plans for Qinglong City. The Great Lord Chongyong then gathered the underworld's martial spirit to confront Lord Yin Tong.

Lord Yin Tong could not afford to offend this major figure and hurriedly brought out the Great Lord Chongren, who was second only to the Netherworld Emperor and in charge of all the souls and judgments in the underworld.

The Great Lord Chongren mediated, and in the end, Lord Yin Tong gave Lord Cao double the territory and transferred him to serve under the Great Lord Chongyong.

"I can't afford to offend this killing star, and the one behind it..." The person who secretly instructed him to do this, Lord Yin Tong also could not afford to offend.

"So, getting involved in the high-level plans of the primordial gods is the most troublesome. Who knows when you'll be set up by someone."
