When the loyal rose with the tide, the traitors had nowhere to hide

"Why not?" Cotton Water Earl accepted the gift without hesitation, then said, "This suffering deity..."

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by several beams of Divine Radiance that suddenly erupted from not far away!

These Divine Radiance, swaying and flickering, clearly had an unstable foundation, yet they were filled with a deep sense of hatred, which gave them an extraordinary aura, pointing directly at the Bazhou Prison God!

Suddenly, like a wave crashing down, the dazed Bazhou Prison God snapped back to reality. He tried to resist, but having already been captured, how could he possibly stand up to it? He immediately panicked.

At this moment, it was still Cotton Water Earl raised his hand and waved it. Divine power roared out like a river, winding and turning, blocking the way and calming down the surging waves of divine power.

Then, he looked in the direction from which the wave was coming, and saw several extremely weak gods panting heavily, looking at him with puzzled expressions.

"Uncle Shui, now that you have captured this Prison God, why do you still want to stop us from taking our revenge?"

"Indeed, do you know how ruthless this Bazhou Prison God is! He's utterly inhuman! How can we be at peace if we don't avenge this!"

"I had only heard that these Prison God were extreme in nature before, but after experiencing it firsthand, I realized that they were not just extreme, they were downright twisted!"

Voices mixed with hatred, confusion, and rage came from the gods and the surrounding area. These were the gods who had just been freed and, after recovering, had transformed the torment they had endured into anger and hatred!

They were on the verge of despair when they were suddenly rescued, and their emotions were naturally difficult to control; they immediately wanted revenge.

"This Prison God should be dealt with by the God of Min Yuan Orthodox God; it's not something you can interfere with." When facing Huang Jue, Cotton Water Earl treated him with courtesy, but when facing the other gods, he was not so kind, his words were indifferent, and there was a sense of superiority in them.

Upon Divine Hearing were shaken by the power of the Water God's Fifth-Rank Divine Seat. Their minds, which had been clouded by hatred, were slightly restored, and they began to feel a little fear.

Then another deity spoke up, "Since that's the case, then we should also go and pay our respects to the Primordial Spirit, firstly to thank him for his kindness, and secondly to seek justice." They all knew who the Primordial Spirit was, and they knew a little about his deeds. Now that the tide had turned and they had suffered again, the thoughts of these deities had changed somewhat.

Cotton Water Earl then said, "Since you have this intention, I naturally cannot stop you. However, since the Orthodox God Min Yuan not summoned you, you should not rush up the mountain. It would be better to wait until we bring this Bazhou Prison God back and report to him before making a decision."

Having said all that, what else could the other deities say? They could only glare at the Bazhou Prison God with resentment before slowly retreating.

However, the retreat of these deities did not reassure the Bazhou Prison God; on the contrary, it made him even more terrified.

"They want to take me to that Min Primordial Spirit? How can that be? I injured his Subordinate Deity so badly, and if this happens..." This thought flashed through his mind, but his Divine Body, already suppressed and captured, couldn't even protest. He could only watch helplessly as the several gods he had captured went to pay their respects to Huang Jue.

The relationship between Huang Jue and Min Primordial Spirit was not widely known, but the gods present, whoever got close to Huang Jue and noticed the Karma entanglements around him, could understand something to some extent, and thus became even more polite to him.

Huang Jue Jueshen is Sixth Grade deity, a position that is neither high nor low in the mortal Divine Path. Even Seventh Grade deities would only maintain polite courtesy when they see him, let alone be treated with respect by deities of higher rank.

Being showered with compliments like this inevitably made him feel flattered, but he was, after all, honest and kind-hearted, and he knew very well the reason behind all this. After saying a few words, he asked, "From what you're saying, my Orthodox God has returned? And has captured that perverse Mountain Envoy? Where is he now? My Divine Sense is sealed by this Divine Prison, making it difficult for me to investigate."

Cotton Water Earl nodded and said, "That's right. We came here on the orders of God Min Yuan Orthodox God to bring you, Pan Luo God, to see Jia."

As they were speaking, the other two Min Yuan Subordinate Deity were also brought over.

Strictly speaking, these two gods were Subordinate Deity of Nine Spirits Mountain and the Great Snow River. After Qiu Yan obtained the Mountains-and-Rivers Talisman, they submitted to him and thus suffered disaster.

Although they don't have the same social standing as Huang Jue, their status has risen accordingly, and the gods, led by Cotton Water Earl, have all shown them respect.

In fact, these gods were well aware that with the downfall of the Mountain Envoy, the future Jiannan Circuit would inevitably Min Yuan family. Even if Qiu Yan expressed no intention to make all the gods submit, it would still not affect the situation of his Divine Office dominating the Shu Region.

Under these circumstances, the growth of the Divine Office is inevitable, and many gods will inevitably join in. As a result, the gods who have been subordinate to Qiu Yan since the beginning of the cold period will have an extraordinary status.

Not to mention Huang Jue, with whom they have a deep friendship, even the two deities Subordinate Deity them, after suffering this calamity, have benefited from the misfortune and become the deities closest to Min Primordial Spirit, making them confidants. As such, their status is naturally extraordinary.

It was precisely because he saw through this that Cotton Water Earl seized the opportunity to switch allegiances, in order to gain the "merit of following the dragon" and become a relatively early senior member of the Divine Office.

After exchanging a few words, Cotton Water Earl, seeing that the situation was about right, raised his hand and used his divine power to envelop the extremely weak Huang Jue and the other two gods before turning into light and disappearing.

The gods were left behind with complex expressions, and the atmosphere turned somber.

A few breaths later, a deity sighed and said, "The Circuit City God is gone, the Mountain Envoy collapsed, and now this Min Primordial Spirit has taken the throne. Our Jiannan Circuit is truly a place of constant change. In such a short time, the banners on the city walls have changed hands several times. Gentlemen..."

As he spoke, he cupped his hands to the other gods and said, "I don't know how long this Min Primordial Spirit can hold on. But he has caused the Mountain Envoy appointed by the Heavenly Court to collapse. He may not have a good ending. I won't join in the fun. Farewell!" After saying that, he also turned into light and left.

Once the god departed, the remaining deities were also moved by these words, each with their own thoughts; some showed conflicting emotions, while others were filled with worry.

Let's leave aside the thoughts of these deities.

Meanwhile, on Stove Mountain, after Qiu Yan left, a group of demons led by the golden-haired giant began to dismantle the nearly collapsed palace. However, before the palace could be completely removed, Qiu Yan had already returned.

At the time, the demons were quite puzzled as to what Qiu Yan was doing, since it only took the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to return, and in their view, it was impossible for him to have achieved any results.

"The master has just returned; perhaps he only went to inquire about the situation in Shu Region."

With this in mind, the demons gradually dispelled their doubts. However, this thought underwent a significant change with the arrival of the gods.

It was Cotton Water Earl, who had brought Huang Jue and the others back, who was requesting an audience at the foot of the mountain, so they dared not easily go up the mountain.

The demon guarding the mountain gate didn't recognize the Water Lord, but upon seeing Huang Jue, it was startled and dared not be negligent. Just as it was about to go up the mountain to report, Qiu Yan's voice came down from the mountain—

"Come on up."

On the mountain, the palace had already been demolished, and demons rode the demonic wind to sweep away the rubble. At this moment Cotton Water Earl and his group came up.

The demons had no recollection of this Water Lord, as he had come to suppress Nine Spirits Mountain without the need for Fifth Grade deity to intervene. However, Huang Jue and the others recognized him and their eyes widened in surprise.

Huang Jue was taken away by the gods sent by the Mountain Envoy. This was something that all the demons experienced firsthand. Afterwards, they were also locked up and hung in the palace. Fortunately, Qiu Yan rescued them and freed them. Now, the situation has changed. Not only have they been saved, but Huang Jue has also returned. Moreover, judging from the attitude of the gods around him, he is being treated with great courtesy.

For a moment, the demons' thoughts were inevitably a little confused. After much thought, a single idea came to mind—

"Could it be that the lord only went out for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before he rescued Lord Panluo? No, that's too unrealistic. I've heard that the Mountain Envoy behind those gods are Divine Ability powerful and could easily quell the chaos. But what kind of beings are these gods who came with him?"

Having learned from the previous experience of being ambushed, the demons on and around the mountain are wary of gods outside of the Min Yuan lineage.

However, the Cotton Water Earl respectfully bowed to Qiu Yan, recounted the actions of the Mountain Envoy, then described the situation after he received the order, and finally released the Bazhou Prison God, saying, "I beg the Orthodox God to punish this person!"

Now that the demons on the mountain had a general idea of the reason, you can imagine their astonishment!

"He really went out for a stroll, and in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Master suppressed the Mountain Envoy dominated the Shu Region? And he even managed to subdue all his subordinates?"

The demon's surprise was not taken seriously by Cotton Water Earl. He was still wondering how Qiu Yan would deal with the Bazhou Prison God, but to his surprise, Qiu Yan simply stretched out a finger and pressed it down in mid-air. The Bazhou Prison God, who was still struggling and begging for mercy, was forcibly pressed into the Stove Mountain and disappeared without a trace.

"Such deities are against the natural order and will be dealt with accordingly..." After saying this, Qiu Yan turned his gaze, his eyes sweeping across the entire mountain range and river.

Instantly, the gods on the mountain and in the river felt a jolt in their hearts!

These deities are all Subordinate Deity of the Nine Spirits Mountain and the Great Snow River within the Min Yuan lineage. The reason they were not captured is that they have already submitted to the Mountain Envoy.

Now, Qiu Yan's Divine Spirit Body has returned, sweeping away Order in Jiannan Circuit with the force of thunder, and then subtly rebuilding it. However, because the time was too short, the rebellious Subordinate Deity were so close at hand were completely unaware of it.

However, as Qiu Yan's Divine Eye gaze swept over them, the Karma connections rooted within the talismans finally awakened them. Their expressions changed drastically, and just as they were about to make a move, their Divine Body were imprisoned. Then, with a flow of light and shadow, they arrived at the top of Stove Mountain.
