The ruins of the Tufang Kingdom (23)

Mount Yunmeng, Flying Peak.

When everything was over, Li Boyang and Xiluo returned to the mountain god temple.

"I'm clearly not a good enough mountain guardian..."

Having transformed back into her raccoon form, Xiluo looked at the shattered Flying Peak with tears welling up in her eyes.

If it weren't for Li Boyang's Divine Ability powers supporting him...

This already crumbling mountain peak may collapse completely in the next second.

Out with the old, in with the new!

Li Boyang glanced at the fragmented Flying Peak as well, and appeared quite magnanimous.

However, the more magnanimous Li Boyang appeared in this situation, the angrier Xiluo became.

"If you can't talk, then don't talk! Nobody'll think you're mute if you don't speak!"

"To be honest, I haven't settled accounts with you yet."

"You've never left Flying Peak, so why didn't you show yourself from the beginning?"

"If you had shown yourself from the beginning, I don't believe that the Guirong Clan could have transformed into the Heaven-Eroding Lord!"

Upon hearing this, Li Boyang blinked guiltily.

After all, in a sense, the current outcome is entirely within Li Boyang's plan, and it is exactly the best result he wanted.

The saying "to repel external enemies, one must first secure internal stability" is a very simple principle.

Since the authenticity of the Great Flood was confirmed.

Li Boyang had been pondering how to prepare for this great flood and the series of disasters that would follow.

Especially when the Heaven-Eroding Lord was about to unite Yin and Yang and reappear in the sky.

Li Boyang made a decision—to eliminate the huge safety hazard posed by Flying Peak first.

As mentioned earlier, he didn't want to have to be constantly wary of the ghosts and Ghost God sealed in Ghost God Cliff when he was dealing with floods and fighting against foreign deities in the future.

To be honest, if I didn't know better, Xiluo would never have agreed.

Li Boyang even considered finding any excuse to kill all those Divine Ability, thus ending the matter once and for all.

Being kind to Mountain Folk and monsters is one thing, but being decisive in killing them is another.

When it truly comes down to killing, Li Boyang, with his Lucid Sword Heart, will absolutely not hesitate.

The current outcome is exactly what Li Boyang wanted.

If those escaped Ghost God were wise enough to hide obediently or simply flee the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, he would pretend they didn't exist.

But if these Ghost God are truly fearless and continue to cause trouble, Li Boyang will never be as merciful as the Witch of the Huai River.

Even if Xiluo had objections at that point, she probably wouldn't have stopped Li Boyang from killing those Ghost God, right?

As for sealing them away again and waiting for them to one day repent?

Li Boyang wasn't that naive.

In this era without laws, and certainly without anyone enforcing the laws against a group of gods...

Without corresponding labor reform measures and ideological education, simply imprisoning them will only allow those Ghost God to accumulate resentment, thus leading to even more brutal acts of revenge.

"That..."

Just then, the lid of the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron next to them was suddenly lifted off.

Then, the Black Dragon that Deception Rabbit had transformed into poked its head out and glanced at Xiluo, who was still angry, as if it wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Just say what you want to say, I'm not going to eat you!"

Still angry Xiluo glared at Deception Rabbit, but her tone softened considerably.

Obviously, Xiluo was unaware of Li Boyang's "sinister intentions"; she simply thought that he hadn't anticipated these things.

"Actually, if we just want to repair Flying Peak, we can go to Kunwu."

"Just recently, when the Rain Master took advantage of the chaos to leave Ghost God Cliff with Kunwu, he specifically asked me to deliver a message to you..."

"If you need help, you can find them at the old site of the Tufang Kingdom."

The former site of the Tufang Kingdom is not located within the boundaries of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

If you travel straight west for about two or three hundred kilometers from the Guifang Kingdom, you will reach the former capital of the Tufang Kingdom.

Since the destruction of the Tufang Kingdom, only some Mountain Folk, spirits, and wild gods have lived here for many years.

It's not that the Guifang Kingdom didn't want to bring this area under its rule.

The great battle thirty years ago was simply too brutal.

Even today, strange wails and howls can still be heard on the land of this Tufang Kingdom.

That was the lingering resentment of the Tufang Kingdom people, and the will of the Tufang Clan that had always lingered on this land...

Yes, although they were enshrined on a divine altar by the Guifang Kingdom and revered as the Gods of the Five Directions.

In reality, the Tufang Clan's true sphere of activity was limited to the territory of the Tufang Kingdom.

The Tufang Clan will only answer the call to leave Tufang Kingdom and descend upon the battlefield when driven by the Roaring Heaven Clan.

Of course, the situation is somewhat Great Unity now.

Following Xuan Hui's Tufang to release Tu Fangshi, in his capacity as the ruler of the Guifang Kingdom.

The Tufang Clan Ominous Deity, the most powerful Ghost God in the region, born from the resentment of the Tufang Kingdom people, achieved true liberation.

The entire territory of the Tufang Kingdom seemed to have been pulled into the realm of the Netherworld, constantly emanating a chilling aura.

Those water gods and spirits who attempt to cross the Tufang Kingdom will be directly attacked by the Tufang Clan.

Terrifying Ghost God appear silently and disappear just as silently.

All living beings and deities killed by it will transform into earthbound spirits, wailing and weeping, yet they will never be able to leave the area where they died.

Along with that, the antics of those strange gods and monsters were lost.

The floods and torrential rains in the territory of the Tufang Kingdom seemed to have subsided considerably.

At least, this area only experiences floods and torrential rains, without any water gods or river gods who wreak havoc on the flood peaks.

Therefore, when Li Boyang and Xiluo arrived in the Tufang Kingdom, they were met with this chaotic and bizarre situation.

"It's almost like the Yin World extending onto the human world..."

It was rare for Li Boyang to utter such a sentiment, Xiluo couldn't help but shudder upon hearing his words.

Unlike Li Boyang always maintained an indifferent attitude.

When the Netherworld Lord appeared, Xiluo was so frightened that her soul almost left her body.

Now I see that this Tufang Kingdom is so similar to the Yin World.

Xiluo felt a chill run down her spine, and a sense of dread immediately welled up in her heart.

What exactly happened here thirty years ago?

"Why didn't the Lord the Netherworld bring the Tufang Clan back with him back then?"

"Most importantly, why has this place become like this? I have a feeling that the Tufang Clan has regained their freedom?"

"Where is He now? I have a feeling that old bastard Rain Master is trying to trick us!"

Upon hearing Xiluo's question, Li Boyang simply tossed the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron aside.

"Without needing to sense it, Tufang Clan has indeed regained his freedom."

"Moreover, He has now gone to the Guifang Kingdom and is wreaking havoc."

Upon hearing this, Xiluo, who had initially just been making a casual remark, suddenly shivered and looked at Li Boyang with disbelief.

"Don't look at me so surprised, this is what the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron told me."

"Something extraordinary seems to have happened in that Guifang Kingdom; even a powerful force like the Tufang Clan has completely lost control."

"But that's fine too, at least no one on Deception Rabbit's side will continue to covet his identity."

As for the Rain Master?

"He wisely chose to stand with us; we might gain something unexpected from this trip."

With a smile, Li Boyang gently comforted Xiluo, but then thoughtfully turned his gaze towards the direction of the Guifang Kingdom.

Just who exactly is that water ape?

[It seems that to completely control this flood, we must first deal with that water ape.]
