Shelter

While the Dragon Elephant Tribe was still discussing how to connect with Madam Jiuzhen.

Amidst the torrential rain, a figure clad in a golden divine robe flew across the sky.

"Kekekeke."

"I searched high and low, and here you are without even trying."

"Long Shanying, your Dragon Elephant Tribe were once our slaves. How dare you escape on your own?"

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, the golden-robed figure's voice boomed like thunder, echoing in the void.

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Elephant Tribe leader, Long Shanying, turned deathly pale.

"Lie, take your tribesmen to the center of the Wei River. That is where the Water Mansion is located."

"Even for the sake of the Water Mansion's authority, the lord within will protect you."

"For now, find a place to live. Do not seek revenge."

"Do not seek revenge."

Long Shanying's aged words still echoed.

His entire figure had already appeared in the void.

"Our Dragon Elephant Tribe, the Long Mountain tribe, has served the Divine Race for countless years."

"Countless tribesmen have died during offerings and sacrifices."

"Now, we only wish to find a sliver of hope for our tribe's continuation."

"Why must the envoy pursue us relentlessly?"

The golden-robed divine envoy of the Golden Brilliance Divine Race let out a cold laugh:

"You are merely a declining minor tribe."

"Without the protection of our Golden Brilliance Divine Race, you would have long perished in the Primordial Era. We merely collect some offerings, yet you harbor resentment."

"Now, you take advantage of the celestial changes to act recklessly and escape."

"Without punishment, justice cannot be served."

Seeing the coldness and killing intent in the golden-robed divine envoy's eyes.

Long Shanying knew he could not escape this calamity.

"Moooo~~~"

A massive elephant's roar erupted.

Completely golden, as if cast from pure gold, the Golden Giant Elephant stomped upon mountains and rivers.

Its trunk swung like an ancient divine mountain toppling.

The immense force struck the air, creating bursts of thunderous sound.

The golden giant elephant went berserk, its internal strength unleashed without restraint.

The golden-robed divine envoy's eyelids twitched.

The Dragon Elephant tribe possessed immense strength.

They could often fight beyond their own level.

Even though this old elephant was only in the Grotto-heaven Realm, while he had reached the Heavenly Human Realm, he had to consider the situation carefully against the elephant in its berserk state.

"Long Shanying, you are old and frail, your Blood Essence is depleted. Why resist?"

"If you surrender and take your own life here, I can grant you a dignified end."

"Your descendants can then live on, their lives spared."

The golden-robed divine envoy brandished his golden saber, sending streaks of golden blade energy slicing through the void towards Long Shanying.

Long Shanying's will was firm.

The Divine Race was the most hypocritical.

Even if he surrendered, his tribesmen would have no way to survive.

It was better to fight with his life on the line; only then was there a chance of survival.

Elephant roars echoed, Long Shanying's attacks became increasingly rapid and powerful.

The golden-robed divine envoy cursed inwardly.

He had heard that this Wei River already had a master.

If the master of this place were alerted, it would be another troublesome matter.

It was best to finish this quickly.

Rumble~

Mountains shook, streams changed course.

The land was left in ruins.

As time flowed on.

More and more wounds appeared on Long Shanying's precious body.

Blood flowed, covering him in injuries.

Under the corruption of the Geng Metal Slayer Aura contained within the golden blade light, the Golden Giant Elephant's movements grew increasingly sluggish.

The golden-robed divine envoy's voice was cold and sharp, his slayer aura rampant:

"To contend with me for over a hundred rounds with the body of a Grotto-heaven Realm Divine Demon."

"Is enough for you to be proud of."

He glanced at the Dragon Elephant Tribe members fleeing in the distance, sneering mockingly:

"After I kill you."

"I will send all your descendants to accompany you, one by one."

"Moo~~~"

The Golden Giant Elephant let out a mournful cry.

Divine Abilities were no match for Heaven's will.

Today, was the Dragon Elephant Tribe to be utterly annihilated?

Hearing Long Shanying's mournful cry, the golden-robed divine envoy's face contorted with excitement.

"Hahaha."

"You lowly servant, still daring to dream of breaking free from your shackles."

"I shall send you on your way now."

Buzz buzz buzz~

The golden-robed divine envoy mobilized the divine ability power within his body.

Strands of Geng Metal Slayer Aura condensed into a colossal, illusory heavenly blade.

The heavenly blade spanned the void, emitting a chilling killing intent.

Long Shanying's pupils contracted, his hair standing on end.

He glanced back at his tribesmen.

He raised his head and let out a long cry.

His voice was filled with unwillingness and valiance.

Then, with the momentum of Mount Tai, he charged fiercely towards the golden-robed divine envoy.

The golden-robed divine envoy's expression was indifferent.

He lightly raised his arm:

"Slash!"

Rumble!

The void trembled.

The golden heavenly blade, like a Great Sun, slashed towards the Golden Giant Elephant.

But at this moment.

An unexpected change occurred.

A plain white palm flipped over from the sky.

First, it grasped the Golden Giant Elephant, which was as massive as an ancient divine mountain, and tossed it aside.

Then, it backhanded the illusory golden heavenly blade and dispersed it.

With effortless movements, there was not a trace of worldly disturbance.

"Beside the Wei River, who dares to cause trouble?"

The newcomer's voice was cold and clear, like a pure spring.

Both the golden-robed divine envoy and the Golden Giant Elephant were startled.

They looked up.

In the void, a goddess dressed in a white immortal-skirting dress walked gracefully.

The golden-robed divine envoy activated his divine eyes, only to feel as if the person before him was shrouded in a mist. Clearly, her cultivation and divine abilities were far superior to his own.

Recalling her dispersing the illusory golden blade with a single palm strike.

He inwardly lamented:

"Misery!"

"This woman must be a major figure from the Wei River Water Mansion."

"Her cultivation must be far above mine, to have shattered my heavenly blade divine ability with one hand."

The golden-robed divine envoy cried out in misery.

The old patriarch of the Dragon Elephant Tribe, Long Shanying, was wise and experienced, and he sensed that this was a good opportunity.

Belonging to the Wei River.

His divine abilities were profound.

A woman's body.

There was only one daughter.

It was a perfect example of "a willow in the shade, a flower in the gloom."

"This old one pays respects to Madam Jiuzhen. May you have ten thousand years of peace, my lady."

Long Shanying transformed into his Dao Body and prostrated himself, tears streaming down his face:

"I beg you, my lady, to uphold justice for my Dragon Elephant Tribe."

"Oh, you know me?"

Madam Jiuzhen looked at Long Shanying, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked slowly.

Long Shanying dared not conceal anything and explained everything about his investigation and visit.

Only then did he weep profusely, complaining with snot and tears:

"We are all honest beings."

"We heard from other cultivators that once you enter the Wei River, all karma is extinguished."

"That's why we wanted to join the Wei River Water Mansion and seek the protection of the Divine Lord."

"Who knew that the people of the Golden Brilliance Imperial Dynasty would pursue and kill us even after we reached the Wei River."

Long Shanying was about to say more, but was interrupted by Madam Jiuzhen.

"Wait, you said he was from the Golden Brilliance Imperial Dynasty?"

Long Shanying's expression tightened.

He was terrified in his heart:

"Could it be that the Wei River Water Mansion is also unwilling to provoke people from the Golden Brilliance Imperial Dynasty?"

Looking at Madam Jiuzhen's expressionless face.

His mood grew heavier and heavier.

In contrast, the golden-robed divine envoy's expression brightened.

He cupped his hands with a proud look:

"I am indeed a person of the Golden Brilliance Imperial Dynasty's divine race."

"I have disturbed the peace of the Wei River Water Mansion today."

"I will personally come to apologize in the future."

Madam Jiuzhen nodded.

"So you are indeed from the Golden Brilliance. Then I cannot let you go."

"Wait..."

Long Shanying's mind went blank.

The golden-robed divine envoy was also completely bewildered.

The Golden Brilliance Imperial Dynasty had a Dao Lord overseeing it.

How could someone dare to disrespect them?

A flash of inspiration struck him.

"Could it be a demon clan beast?"

It was like a bolt from the blue.

The golden-robed divine envoy's face changed drastically.

He turned and prepared to flee.

If this Wei River was truly demon clan territory.

Then there would be no room for negotiation today.

He wanted to leave, but Madam Jiuzhen became interested.

As a core figure within the Wei River Water Mansion.

Madam Jiuzhen knew that their Lord had joined the Phoenix Perch Mountain Dao Lineage.

Currently, Phoenix Perch Mountain was at war with the Five Directions Imperial Dynasties.

This person coming to the Wei River was simply a ready-made contribution to the war effort.

"Capture this person, and I can also earn merit in front of our Lord."

Madam Jiuzhen's thoughts flickered.

But her movements were not slow.

She waved her sleeve and formed a hand seal.

A brocade handkerchief, the size of her palm, swelled in the wind, quickly enveloping the golden-robed divine envoy.

"Brocade Peach Blossom Scarf."

This treasure was refined by Zhou Yuan, and its grade was a high-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure.

Once activated, it could release peach blossom miasma.

Within the pink peach blossom miasma, the golden-robed divine envoy's expression changed drastically. In just a moment, various illusions of lust, gluttony, wealth, and pride appeared in his mind.

Bones and skulls transformed into beautiful confidantes.

Drunken revelry, intoxicating.

Seeing the golden-robed divine envoy entranced, Madam Jiuzhen chuckled softly.

In an instant, it was as if ten thousand acres of peach blossoms bloomed.

This was a Beguiler Divine Ability of the Fox Clan.

Although Madam Jiuzhen was a wild fox, this Divine Ability was innate. She had cultivated it for many years, and its power was immense.

As expected, under the dual assault of the Beguiler Divine Ability and the Brocade Peach Blossom Scarf, the golden-robed divine envoy quickly lost his reason.

His eyes were glazed, a smile on his face, staring blankly into the void, drool trickling from the corner of his mouth.

His mind was clearly lost.

Seeing this, Madam Jiuzhen shook her head slightly:

"I thought the divine race of the Golden Brilliance Imperial Dynasty would have some skill."

"This is it?"

Madam Jiuzhen formed a hand seal, and the Brocade Peach Blossom Scarf emanated waves of spiritual light, shrouded in mist, carrying the golden-robed divine envoy away.

After capturing the golden-robed divine envoy, Madam Jiuzhen carefully put away the handkerchief.

This person still needed to be handed over to Grand Supervisor Guizhen for interrogation.

It would be best if some secrets could be extracted from him.
