Huai Calamity Dragon Maiden (2/3)

On the ruins of the ancestral temple of the Guifang Kingdom.

Is it just a coincidence?

Zi Guang stared intently at the direction where Huoji and Heaven-Eroding Lord were fighting.

Wuzhiqi pondered for a moment, then looked at the fully unfolded [Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land].

"And this bait? You dare treat me like a fish? Aren't you afraid I'll just eat the bait?"

Slowly withdrawing his gaze, Wuzhiqi, bathed in the raging wind and rain, quickly turned his attention to the distance not far in front of him.

"Rain Master, we have no past grievances or present enemies, so why must you go to such lengths?"

"That Tufang Clan is nothing but a mad god. Even if I don't kill him, a Divine Descent to eliminate this scourge."

"You are also a water god, and even more so, the rain god among water gods. This flood is entirely beneficial to you."

"If you keep bothering me like this, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Wuzhiqi's voice remained calm.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the four guardian deities of Great Wind, rain, thunder, and lightning appeared before him.

They were all deities that Wuzhiqi subdued on his journey south.

In terms of individual strength, these four guardian deities may not be as powerful as the Rain Master, who can reach the peak of his divine Divine Power by taking advantage of torrential rains and floods.

However, once they join forces, even ordinary Heavenly Deity might not be their match.

The near-immortal Roaring Heaven Clan and the powerful Tufang Clan had both died at the hands of the four gods, which shows their strength.

"If you simply killed the Tufang Clan..."

"Although it pains me, I simply pretend I don't have such a junior."

The Rain Master, appearing amidst the raging wind and rain, answered with a powerful and resounding voice, his face aged yet his back straight.

"But your biggest mistake was attempting to use the Guifang Kingdom's Baleful Intent Refining Method to 'reshape' his soul, turning him into a puppet you could control."

When Rain Master said this, his gaze was fixed on the still-operating altar behind Wuzhiqi.

Faintly, one could hear howling, angry roars emanating from the altar, filled with endless resentment and hatred.

In fact, this is also an important reason why Wuzhiqi has always been stationed at the Guifang Kingdom.

He is using the "Baleful Intent Refining Method" of the Guifang Kingdom to rebuild the Tufang Clan.

Furthermore, the resentment of the entire Guifang Kingdom's destruction was also incorporated into this process.

"The Guifang Kingdom's Baleful Intent Refining Method can create a ghost Ghost God, which is extremely rare in the entire Great Xia."

"Now that I intend to oppose that Red-Haired Celestial Person being, having more trump cards is always a good thing."

"Especially powerful trump cards like these, which can directly influence the course of the battle, I can never have too many."

He stood up unhurriedly, and even his speaking speed didn't change much Wuzhiqi was as calm as if he were talking about what to eat next, his tone calm and unfathomable, yet intimidating.

"Therefore, this is another major reason why I chose to act as that Celestial Person being's vanguard and come before you."

Wuzhiqi unwavering composure and calm demeanor, Rain Master gazed at Wu Zhi Qi, his tone of voice remaining unchanged.

However, all the gods and spirits present could hear the determination in the Rain Master's words.

"The methods of human sacrifice, blood sacrifice, and ritual offering are too cruel."

"Especially a tyrant like you who doesn't care about other living beings at all, readily sacrificing all living beings and slaughtering countless people."

That is the real scourge of this world.

Ignoring Wuzhiqi's rebuttal, Rain Master continued.

"Everyone says that you caused this great flood in the Huai Calamity region because you wanted to oppose the Great Xia Witch King and didn't want your priests to recite his deeds."

"But as far as I know, the Huai Calamity is the source of the Huai River, and you are not Orthodox God there at all!"

"The one enshrined there has always been the Huai Calamity Dragon Maiden, just as it was a thousand years ago, and it remains so a thousand years later."

If what came before were all things that were already common knowledge...

Then, what the Rain Master said next was enough to shock all the Gods and Devils present.

"On the contrary, it was you who forcibly defiled that Huai Calamity Dragon Maiden and forced her to bear three dragon sons for you—"

"After she died, unable to bear the humiliation, you used her name to rule the entire Huai Calamity region, striving to maintain your tyrannical status."

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Wuzhiqi stared at Rain Master for a long time before asking in a voice that was hard to decipher, whether he was happy or angry.

"It seems you went to the upper reaches of the Huai River?"

"What other information did you find out from there?"

For some reason, when Wuzhiqi asked that question, the air temperature in the entire Guifang Kingdom suddenly dropped several degrees.

The torrential rain in the sky turned into frost and snow, and ice mist rose from the surface of the long rivers.

It wasn't really asking around, just making a reasonable guess.

His eyebrows and beard were covered in white frost.

But Rain Master's voice remained strong, as if he was not afraid of angering Wuzhiqi at all.

"After all, it's not just me; even the gods of the Great Xia are speculating about the real reason you instigated this great flood."

"Until that Celestial Person being reminded me—"

"What could possibly move even the highest Heavenly Deity to such an extent is nothing more than hatred and love."

"Hatred?"

"It's not impossible, but the probability is very small."

"A tyrant with your personality often expresses his hatred very directly, so directly that anyone can see it."

"Only love could make you do something so absurd, so reckless."

Before the Rain Master could finish speaking, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, illuminating the heavens and the earth.

The lightning bolt seemed to symbolize Wuzhiqi's anger, and wherever it passed, all living beings were filled with fear and dread.

"I don't know what you're thinking, nor do I know what you plan to do."

"But putting aside all the impossibilities, I guess you're expressing your love for that Huai Calamity Dragon Maiden in your own way."

"In a tyrannical way, in a way that brings calamity to the people—"

Despite the lightning that nearly blinded him, the Rain Master finally drew his own conclusion.

Of your three sons, Huoji has always been your favorite.

This favoritism has even reached a point where it's completely irrational—

Even your second and third sons can't understand why you value him so much.

"So what would you do if Huoji were in a life-or-death crisis?"

A radiant smile, Wuzhiqi he had ever seen before, bloomed on Rain Master's face. Seeing the sudden change in Wu Zhiqi's eyes, Yu Shi knew that his gamble had paid off.

"Now you either stay here and keep blocking my way, or you go and save your son right now."

"Now it's your turn to make the choice, Wuzhiqi!"

Wuzhiqi gave Rain Master a cold, warning look, and indeed didn't continue to entangle with him.

"Kill him. This time, there's no need to hold back."

Leaving only this one sentence in the air, Wuzhiqi's tall figure vanished from the altar.

Correspondingly, a host of Gods and Devils, including the four guardian deities of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, launched a full-scale attack on the Rain Master at this time.
