This rain did not seem natural, but whatever the case, once the downpour began, the moisture in the clouds found an outlet, and the entire Heaven-Bearing Prefecture city was engulfed in torrential rain.
Within Heaven-Bearing Prefecture city, ghosts and gods raised their heads toward the sky. The Prefectural City God had drawn in his divine light, looking like an ordinary mortal standing in the rain on a rooftop, except that none of the rain could touch his body.
"To bring about their destruction, first drive them mad."
Great Yong's destiny had not yet run its course, but with such reckless turmoil, sooner or later it would squander its ancestors' legacy. These fiends were certainly brazen, though.
"Lord City God, fiends are stirring up trouble tonight. The wandering spirits and netherworld officials have already captured and slain many, yet more demons and evil spirits are gathering near the Capital City. Their audacity is truly abhorrent!"
"Simply fulfill your duties."
"Yes!"
The City God vanished as soon as he finished speaking. He had been looking at more than the rain's outward appearance, while the remaining ghosts and gods frowned slightly as they looked up at the sky.
In the True Lord Temple outside the northern city gate, the drowsy Yan Shouyun seemed to have been awakened by the sound of rain. He did not know why the temple keeper was so accommodating, but the man had allowed him and the old man to stay in the Demon-Subduing Hall.
He had already met Tan Yuanshang over the past few days. Tan Yuanshang had invited him to stay with him for the time being, but Yan Shouyun had declined, choosing instead to lodge at the True Lord Temple with Shao Zhen.
Of course, through Tan Yuanshang, Yan Shouyun had also learned a great deal.
