"The City God Human Path, this feeling is indeed different from ordinary Human Path. It does not originate from people, but rather transcends them, taking charge of Human Path punishments on behalf of everyone. However, its intention is indeed simple and has its merits."

Looking at the small pagoda in his hand, Qiu Yan pondered for a moment, a thought passing through his mind, but he didn't delve into it, as this wasn't the time to think about it carefully.

This tower was actually the Yin-Yang Pagoda from before. It was struck by the Human Path Lightning and sealed away along with Lü Liang. However, it was still extraordinary in its Divine Ability. Qiu Yan could feel the surging Divine Ability power inside with a tremor of his Divine Sense.

Now, this force has spread out, causing the Domain of Law to start operating again.

The spirits standing in each city shuddered, then resumed their usual actions, just as before.

"As long as there is the City God Human Path, even without gods, the entire Domain of Law can still function normally. In this light, gods are not actually indispensable. I wonder what characteristics Human Path Order has compared to them. It's a pity that most of the Human Path Order mobilized this time has been destroyed by that giant hand, leaving only a few remnants. However, there have been some unexpected gains."

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he flipped his right hand, and tiny sparks of electricity appeared in his palm, swirling and shifting around a ball of black energy like earthworms.

"This wisp of black mist is what the giant hand transformed into after it scattered. We managed to capture a small portion of it using fragments of Human Path Order. We wonder if we can glean anything from it."

Thinking about it, he shook his head, put away what he was holding, and then took off into the air, ready to fly away.

Just as they were about to fly out of the Domain of Law, the remaining violent yin wind in the sky suddenly became chaotic, turning violent, and then transformed into a huge vortex. A colossal creature poked its head out from within, accompanied by an immense pressure!

"Huh?" Qiu Yan suddenly stopped, looked up, and his pupils contracted. What he saw was a pure white Winged Dragon.

A clear, melodious voice, like that of a nightingale, came from the dragon's back.

"Minyuan Mountain God, quickly appear! I'm coming to save you!"

The sound traveled far and wide, echoing repeatedly, containing a powerful force. Upon sensing it, Qiu Yan immediately became wary.

Just then...

Boom!

With a loud bang, the air on Winged Dragon's back expanded, and a trace of Human Path Order and black energy dissipated. It turned out to be a residual shockwave that had been taken by the people on the dragon's back, but they had not been able to tame it, resulting in an explosion. Then, a little girl with a small ponytail and wearing a dress tumbled off the dragon's back, kicking her arms and legs with all her might while she was in mid-air.

This place, as the Domain of Law of the gods, is also plagued by yin winds, and its rules have changed from those of the outside world. The methods of riding Spiritual Qi to fly are no longer effective here.

"Hmm?" Looking at the little girl falling down, Qiu Yan frowned and his heart stirred slightly. He the Unseen sensed a connection, but he was not careless. His aura changed, the small tower in his hand vibrated, and his entire body merged with the surrounding aura. Although he was still there, his presence had been reduced to the minimum, as if he had become one with the surrounding Domain of Law.

At the same time, the little girl who was falling struggled twice in mid-air, then with a flick of her wrists, her sleeves suddenly stretched out, twirled in the air, and floated into two spirals that enveloped her petite figure. Then, the girl swayed, regained her balance, and landed lightly on the ground.

"Really, this is a bad start, and it's not good for my image Grandmaster!"

The girl's face still showed lingering fear, but she forced herself to remain calm and put on a nonchalant expression, as if she hadn't slipped and fallen, but rather did it intentionally.

"Whose child is this?" Qiu Yan's eyelids twitched, his gaze wandering, quickly sweeping over the little girl's face, but not lingering.

This girl arrived riding a dragon and appeared in the Netherworld. She clearly had an extraordinary background and was definitely skilled in cultivation. If one's gaze lingered on her for even a moment, one's thoughts would leave a mark on her, causing a pull on her energy and revealing Qiu Yan's location. She was not worth taking advantage of.

However, given Qiu Yan's current cultivation level and Divine Grade, even a light glance was enough to take in the little girl's appearance.

This is a lovely little girl, especially her flawless white face, which is like that of a porcelain doll, making you want to pinch it.

"Judging solely from her appearance, this little girl seems to have been raised by a wealthy family. However, even a wealthy family in the mortal realm couldn't possibly raise a child capable of riding a dragon into the underworld. My cursory glance can only discern her appearance; I cannot ascertain the composition of her body. I wonder if she is a soul, a deity, or perhaps... um?"

As Qiu Yan pondered, his hands trembled slightly. He felt the Azure Dragon and Black Dragon dragons that had merged into his arms pulsate slightly, as if they were sensing something. But the movement was fleeting and had already aroused Qiu Yan's suspicion.

"Master, you were too careless. Those two forces, though only remnants, contained unimaginable mysteries. Even if they could be captured, they would be very difficult to tame. With your cultivation level, it's certainly not possible. Yet you insisted on forcibly suppressing them, which is why you're in such a sorry state..."

At this moment, a muffled sound came from above. The Winged Dragon, which had been hovering in the sky, broke through the Yin Wind layer and arrived above the Domain of Law. It flapped its wings and hovered in the air. Then, its belly vibrated, and the sound seemed to come from its belly.

Ventriloquism.

Upon hearing the voice, the little girl immediately frowned, raised one hand and pointed to the sky with the other. "Little White, how dare you say that? Why didn't you catch me in time when I fell... No, how could I fall? This is a brand new way of descending to earth that I just thought of. I will definitely demonstrate it to my father when I go back next time."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yan's eyelids twitched, recalling a saying from his past life—

Land face-first.

On the other side, Winged Dragon flapped its wings, riding the swift wind. It first apologized, then said, "Master, no matter what the situation, you shouldn't have rashly tried to capture those unfamiliar forces. This place is completely chaotic with the yin winds and death energy due to the Jiannan Circuit City God. Rash contact could have serious consequences. You are still young and should not take risks lightly."

"A little skill like that is nothing to me!" The little girl raised her head slightly, revealing an arrogant look, acting like a superior person. However, given her petite and delicate figure, it didn't quite make her seem convincing.

"That's not how it works," Winged Dragon's belly continued to speak, seemingly oblivious to the little girl's arrogance. "What I really want to say is that we need to be careful of the Jiannan Circuit City God. Behind this god stand two Star Lords and a Yin-Yang Pagoda. Even you, without giving it your all, will find it difficult to escape unscathed. This time, taking that Min Primordial Spirit away is enough; we must not cause any further trouble."

"What did you say?" The little girl's clear black and white eyes suddenly widened. "You're saying I'm no match for an Earth Deity? He just has a Yin-Yang Pagoda. I've only heard of that tower before. I heard it can support a star and is the prototype of Star Lord's Dao-cultivating Law Treasure. It's extremely precious, but I'm not someone to be trifled with! If you piss me off, I'll fight him to the death!"

"That's not what I meant. I was just giving a brief reminder. The Jiannan Circuit City God is not an ordinary Earth Deity, but a reincarnated god. Even Miss Yin Xiao'e was once controlled by this person. He should not be underestimated." Winged Dragon continued to perform his duties diligently.

But the little girl had clearly lost patience. With a flick of her wrist, she took to the air and flew towards the center of the Domain of Law.

"Alright, alright, you're so long-winded, but thank goodness you reminded me, otherwise I would have forgotten the important matter."

"Could this person and the dragon be related to Yin Xiao'e?"

Qiu Yan overheard every word of the little girl's conversation with Winged Dragon, gleaning a great deal of useful information from it and secretly making his own guesses.

"Speaking of which, back then, Yin Xiao'e sent a message across borders, mentioning reinforcements in addition to issuing a warning. Could she be referring to them? But such reinforcements are really..."

A few months ago, when Yin Xiao'e warned Qiu Yan, she mentioned reinforcements, clearly anticipating a conflict between Qiu Yan and Lü Liang, which is why she wanted to help. However, Qiu Yan remembered this good intention, but never placed his hopes of resolving the feud on others, not even Yin Xiao'e or the reinforcements she mentioned.

"However, if we can confirm the identities of their reinforcements, it wouldn't hurt to show ourselves. We might be able to learn something about Yin Xiao'e. She has done me a favor, and since she was captured and taken to heaven, her whereabouts have been uncertain. We should try to find out more about her. We didn't have the means before, but now that we have the opportunity, we can't let it slip by easily. Besides, we can also learn something about the situation in heaven. As long as the Three Bodies don't perish, they will eventually have their day in heaven. Rather than being completely clueless at that time, it's better to make plans early."

As Qiu Yan was pondering this, the little girl on the other side made another move—

She turned around, and seven-colored light emanated from her body, swirling around her before scattering and rapidly condensing into various objects in mid-air.

There are knives, swords, sticks, guns, bowls, cups, paintings, and words...

At first glance, there are over a hundred different items, each releasing a different aura and rippling with similar waves—ripples created when Spiritual Qi surges.

Whew! Whew! Whew!

The ripples stirred the air, transforming into a raging wind that surged outwards!

Sensing these waves, Qiu Yan's eyelids twitched rapidly. He had already discerned the details of these things, and his Divine Sense almost lost control, directly exposing himself!

"Law Treasure! This little girl actually released nearly a hundred Law Treasure in one go. Although there are a few Law Artifact among them, but..."

Now that Qiu Yan knows about Law Treasure, he can glean some information from the fluctuations of Spiritual Qi and thus identify that a large portion of the floating objects are Law Treasure!

A single Law Treasure is already rare. The Flying Leopard Daoist of the Spirit-Sealing Dao was willing to be used by the other party for the Law Treasure, the World-Troubling Copper Furnace. Tang Lai of the Upper Spirit Sect was so arrogant, possessing only two or three Law Treasure, and strictly speaking, they all originated from the soul of a Horned Dragon.

As a result, this seemingly young girl unleashed nearly a hundred Law Treasure in one go!

A myriad of treasures rise and fall, dazzling and colorful, depicting a breathtaking scene as they ebb and flow!

If people find out about this, who knows what kind of trouble it will cause.

"No, it's not just these nearly one hundred Law Treasure..."

Qiu Yan's gaze shifted, sweeping over the little girl again. He noticed that the little girl's long sleeves and the rattle drum she was holding gave her a unique aura!

Qiu Yan's eyelids twitched again--

He sensed from the sleeves and the rattle drum a connection to the outside world, a tendency to absorb Spiritual Qi!

"Self-absorbing Spiritual Qi, Mid-Tier Magical Treasure..."

Not only was Qiu Yan stunned by the little girl's display of power, but the Winged Dragon was also taken aback. It quickly exclaimed, "Master, quickly put these treasures away! If someone sees them, they might attract covetous eyes, leading to endless trouble!"

"So annoying! So nagging! So annoying! Didn't you say that Circuit City God was no ordinary being and told me to be careful? I'm on high alert, ready to take him down in one fell swoop!" The little girl's words were tinged with dissatisfaction, but they also revealed a hint of caution, unlike her overconfidence.

"Be careful, but don't flaunt your wealth. Seeing your treasures, even those who are not inherently malicious might develop ill intentions! You have too little experience in worldly affairs and don't know the wickedness of people's hearts!" Winged Dragon was angry at his lack of self-discipline and earnestly advised him.

Qiu Yan watched silently from the side, secretly shaking his head. "This Winged Dragon says others have no experience, yet it itself speaks so many cryptic words within the Domain of Law of a deity. If Lü Liang hadn't already been captured by me, it would have been exposed long ago. It's clear its experience is quite limited; it's like the pot calling the kettle black. However, this man and dragon seem naive and clueless about the ways of the world. What are their true identities?"

With this in mind, the Li Trigram Book of Fortune within his body activated simultaneously, interfering with and sensing the surrounding Karmic Thread to determine the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of his next actions.

Unlike Qiu Yan, the little girl thought Winged Dragon had a point, but she knew that things had come to this point and there was no way to change them. The little girl also knew that gods had the ability to probe within the Domain of Law, so she could only bite the bullet and say, "If we take it back now, it will only show our weakness. It's better to show it and subdue the enemy without fighting."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her little head and shouted into the distance, "Lü Liang, have you seen how powerful I am? Why don't you release that Minyuan Mountain God now? Do you want to be beaten?"

The sound carried far and wide, echoing in all directions...

About half an hour later, the little girl, riding her colorful magical Law Treasure, stared blankly into the distance, but there was no movement at all, only the whistling wind blowing sand and dust, creating a desolate feeling.

"What happened? Did Lü Liang realize things were going badly and run away?" the little girl finally couldn't help but ask.

"Probably not. Gods don't leave the Domain of Law easily. Even if they know you, Master, are not easy to deal with..." Winged Dragon was also uncertain and unsure, his words full of speculation.

Beside him, Qiu Yan shook his head, unable to bear it any longer. With a slight change of thought, he withdrew his Divine Ability and revealed his true form. While the little girl waited, he had already collected the aura she was emitting and found a Karmic Thread within it. He then used the power of the Li Trigram and the Book of Fortune to investigate and confirmed that the girl was indeed related to Yin Xiao'e.

"I can tell you a little about what happened here..."

A few breaths later, a clear scream rang out.

The little girl stared wide-eyed, her big, dark eyes filled with shock, and she almost dropped the rattle drum in her hand.

After a long pause, the little girl opened her mouth wide and finally uttered a sentence: "You're saying that you've destroyed this entire Domain of Law? You're that Min Primordial Spirit?"

"Not bad." Qiu Yan nodded.

"You're lying!" the little girl immediately cried out, and the Law Treasure surrounding her instantly transformed, emitting a terrifying aura. "Tell me honestly, what is your true identity? You claim to be Min Yuan, but your silver flesh and blood are clearly the manifestation of Third Grade deity. I know exactly what kind of Divine Grade Min Yuan is. Even Heaven-Born Deity couldn't have such progress."

"Why would I lie to you?" Faced with a sky full of magical Law Treasure, Qiu Yan showed no panic. He raised his hand and waved, separating a trace of Karma aura and residual divine power.

This trace of Karma aura is the aura of the Underworld Office of Yuanning Prefecture back then, while the remaining divine power is a bit of divine power that Yin Xiao'e deliberately left behind to prove Qiu Yan's identity. The latter seems to have long anticipated this day.

After the explanation of Karma and effect and divine power, the little girl's eyes widened again, her mouth forming an "o" shape. After a while, she said somewhat cautiously, "Are you really Min Yuan? But you said you defeated Lü Liang, so what about this Underworld Office? Did you destroy it? This is no small matter." Given her style of doing things, she knew what consequences would result from rashly destroying an Underworld Office.

"This Underworld Office isn't solely my achievement; the Marshlands deity contributed significantly," Qiu Yan replied calmly, narrowing his eyes.

"Oh? Marshlands deity? I do know that. The Ancestral Gods of the Donghua Marsh, he has quite a reputation in the heavens. He had a romantic entanglement with that ruthless person back then, but unfortunately, that person was only focused on Transcendence, and ultimately did not stay long, leaving behind a heartbroken person." As the little girl spoke, her big eyes actually became a little misty, as if she was very emotional.

"Oh? You also know about the Marshland Ancestral God? I wonder if there is any news of that senior who sought Transcendence?" Qiu Yan asked casually upon hearing this.

The little girl immediately smiled, her eyes curving into crescents. "Of course! I'm very well-informed. Before coming to Donghua, I was asked by Sister Yin to do this, so I consulted many ancient texts. As for Lin Zhengyang's whereabouts, that's hard to find out. After all, almost all the gods and cultivators who have seen him have perished or fallen into slumber. How could they possibly send any news?"

"Oh? Senior Lin is still as impressive as ever." Qiu Yan was secretly surprised, but he didn't show it on his face. This wasn't the first time he had heard the name Lin Zhengyang, but each time it was accompanied by some amazing things.

Sudden.

"Hmm?" Qiu Yan Li Trigram in his chest, as if sensing something. He then said to the little girl, "This is not the place to talk. Please come with me."

"Okay!" The little girl showed no sign of doubt, but asked, "Since we've come to the Netherworld, we should definitely find some local products. What good food do we have here? Can you tell us about it?"

Qiu Yan looked surprised upon hearing this.

In the Mortal Realm, in the Eastern Capital, at the Literary Pavilion.

Suddenly, a series of exhalations were heard, and then Han Yi, Junior Chen, and the others withdrew their gazes from the nine paintings, revealing satisfied expressions. Their faces were radiant, and their eyes held an unusual glint as they looked at the paintings, as if they were determined to win. (To be continued.
